Chapter 43 Life and death battle

"The 2016-2017 La Liga season has ended. Although Atletico Madrid has not lost a game after Gao Zheng's comeback, because Atletico Madrid has lost too many points before, they finally got 81 points, but they can only rank third. The first place belongs to Real Madrid, Zidane, and they won the league championship with 93 points. Barcelona ranked second by three points..."

"This season is a failure for Simeone. The defending champions of the league and the Champions League are empty this season. They have not won a single championship in the league, the Champions League and the King's Cup. The lack of Gao Zheng has indeed had a great impact on the team... so that in the end, the team had to give up the Champions League in order to keep the third in the league..."

"Gao Zheng has passed the report card of ten league goals despite missing most of the games this season. You should know that when he returns, there are only nine rounds left in the league... However, Atletico Madrid fans don't have to feel sad about the results of this season. As long as Gao Zheng is healthy, Atletico Madrid will definitely make a comeback next season..."

"...After the club competition, Gao Zheng returned to China yesterday. After a short break, he will gather with his national teammates to prepare for the top 12 matches in Syria on June 13. To be honest, this game may be directly related to whether the Chinese team can still enter the World Cup..."

"...Our reporters took pictures of Gao Zheng and Feng Shiyao at the entrance of a restaurant! This is the first time that they appeared in front of everyone after they announced their relationship. In the face of the camera, Gao Zheng and Feng Shiyao greeted the reporter with great gratitude. Gao Zheng even simply accepted an interview with our reporter, saying that he was here to have dinner with friends and hoped that the reporter would not follow in and disturb other guests to eat..."

"Gao Zheng and Feng Shiyao are really more and more compatible! Gao Zheng is 1.9 meters tall, Feng Shiyao is not low, 1.73 meters tall. The two of them stand together and truly interpret what it means to be a 'a handsome man'! The reporter noticed that when Gao Zheng was explaining to us, Feng Shiyao stood beside him and stared at him, very affectionate and focused, as if in Feng Shiyao's eyes, there was only Gao Zheng left in the world. Such a fairy couple is really enviable!"

"Yesterday, the Chinese national team training camp reopened. Gao Zheng, who had ended a short vacation, also returned to the national team. Our reporters met him outside the training base. After the rest, Gao Zheng seemed happy and nodded to the reporters frequently. I don't know if it was an illusion. Although we all know that Gao Zheng always smiled, the smile on his face now shows more happiness... Maybe it's because of love? It is said that when he returned to the national team again, he brought a pack of Feng Shiyao's signature new album, which was given to everyone in the national team, and even the staff did not fall behind... I have to say that Gao Zheng is also a talented person if he can think of using his girlfriend's album as a favor..."

"In a warm-up match that just ended, the Chinese team defeated the Philippines 8-1 at home, making a good start for the next match with Syria..."

"...After a period of training, the Chinese team set off for Malacca, Malaysia today to prepare for a match against Syria. This game is crucial for the Chinese team. They must win to continue to compete for the qualification for the group qualifying..."

"We have analyzed a lot with you before the game, and the final conclusion is only one conclusion. If the Chinese team cannot win this game, they will basically bid farewell to next year's World Cup..." He Ping's voice was solemn. "Yes, if you can't win, that is, you can only win, and you can't even get a draw. But now, the Chinese team is behind Syria 0:1 on the court..."

The game on June 13 is Syria's home court, but it is not really played in Syria. Due to the turbulent domestic situation, none of the Syrian top 12 matches were played in their own country.

Their home court is Malaysia.

Logically speaking, this kind of hot and humid climate in Southeast Asia will be very uncomfortable for players from the Middle East and Syria.

But in fact, Syria has always had combat effectiveness at its home court.

They once tied South Korea with Sun Xing here, tied Iran, and defeated Uzbekistan 1-0. So far, they have not lost in the top 12 home courts...

It is clearly a neutral stadium, but Syria has really achieved home-level results here.

The game was also the same. Just eleven minutes into the game, Syria used a quick counterattack to form a single shot. Chinese goalkeeper Zengcheng threw the opponent's player to the ground while saving the game, and was sentenced to a penalty kick by the referee.

Syria took advantage of this penalty to take the lead.

The backward Chinese team was obviously a little panicked and had no rules to play.

This will naturally not be able to equalize the score.

So until the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, and Syria, who played at home, was the lead.

Before this game, in another game ending in the early morning of the 13th Beijing time, Iran defeated Uzbekistan 2:0 at home. This score allowed them to obtain the right to participate in the World Cup in advance, and also gave the Chinese team a big gift. If the Chinese team can win Syria in this game, it will be only four points behind Uzbekistan.

In this way, when the Chinese team directly talks with Uzbekistan in the next top 12 match, if the Chinese team can defeat Uzbekistan again, it will be only one point away.

Everything is possible.

But not long after the game started, the Chinese team suffered a head-on blow.

And until the end of the first half, he failed to equalize the score.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV were immediately worried.

Even the draw failed in this game...

※※※

"...Lippi must have made adjustments at the halftime break. Although he did not substitution, the Chinese team significantly strengthened the offensive on the side after the second half. This reduced Gao Zheng's pressure on the middle, forcing Syria to split more troops to defend the sidelines, and the Chinese team's offensive started. However, the leading Syria played... very smart. The Syrian player, who was obviously more physically dominant, frequently fell in physical confrontation, resulting in frequent interruptions and fragmentation of the game, and the Chinese team's offense lost its continuity..."

As a commentator and a public figure, He Ping can only tactfully say that Syria plays very "smart". The Chinese fans in front of the TV don't have to worry about it. They directly scold Syrian players for being shameless and use it.

The tactic of lying on grass is used to delay time.

This does work. The Chinese team's offense is very uncomfortable. After finally fighting, the opponent will fall to the ground with a scream and the referee's whistle will sound.

Although it was just a verbal warning to Chinese players, the Chinese team's offensive state and morale were all gone.

Although Syria only leads by one goal, they plan to delay time from the beginning of the second half and hold the lead.

After all, they also need three points to compete for the third place in that group. At present, they are closer to the qualification for the playoffs. Uzbekistan's loss to Iran not only created opportunities for the Chinese team, but also for Syria.

Any team has the dream of participating in the World Cup, and Syria is no exception.

After the Syrian player once again contacted the Chinese player and fell to the ground and the game was blown to a halt, Wu Lei couldn't help it. He stepped forward to protest to the referee: "Referee, do you think my body can squeeze him?"

He patted his shoulder.

Just now, it was when he and his opponent were competing for positions and had physical contact. Then, the captain Alsaleh, who was 1.85 meters tall, fell to the ground...

Wu Lei is famous for not being good at physical confrontation because he is relatively thin.

As a result, he was able to knock a 1.85-meter-long man to the ground so easily...

I have to say that the acting skills of Syrian players are indeed excellent.

Although Wu Lei was very aggrieved, the referee did not change his penalty because of this. He insisted on referring him to a foul and awarded the ball rights to Syria.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV were so angry that they saw this scene.

But they can do nothing except curse in front of the TV.

This is what makes them even more angry.

On the TV screen, Gao Zheng went up to pat Wu Lei, comforted him, and then dragged Wu Lei away from the referee.

"Yes, keep calm and never be angry with your opponent, otherwise you will be fooled by them!" He Ping said when he saw this scene.

In fact, he was also very angry and unhappy, and felt a fire in his heart.

But as a commentator, he must also remain calm and sane.

And what he said is the truth. The more angry he is, the less angry he is. Once he loses his mind, the game will be completely over.

※※※

Five minutes later, the Chinese team scored the football into Syria's penalty area. Gao Zheng went to catch the ball, and the opponent's captain Alsaleh quickly posted it up, trying to stop Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng was still stuck in front of him. In desperation, he pushed his hand, trying to make Gao Zheng not receive the ball so easily...

But at this moment, he heard Gao Zheng suddenly scream and fell to the ground!

Before Saleh's hand could be retracted, he encountered such a sudden scene. He stood there for about a second, then raised his hands and signaled that there was no movement in his hand just now!
