Chapter 50 Captain
"Gao Zheng said that as long as he strives for a big score, it turns out that he is still too optimistic..."
In the media seat of the Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Chinese journalists were a little frustrated when they looked at the real-time scores on the field.
In the first half, the Chinese team had more offensives and had a certain advantage, but failed to score. As soon as the second half began, Qatar scored a goal by taking advantage of a mistake on the Chinese team's defense line. Now the home team Qatar is leading the way.
"Maybe he just wants to cheer us up?"
A reporter defended Gao Zheng.
As the only hope and hero of Chinese football, everyone really doesn't want to see any black spots on him.
"Actually, the guys performed very well, but they were almost lucky... This game was away again, so it was really hard to play..."
"Well, after all, it's the first time in fifteen years to play the top 12, and it's not easy to fight until the last moment. Especially when the first half is like that, it's already amazing to remain unbeaten in the second half!"
Chinese journalists have begun to build psychologically in advance.

At the same time, we also heard news that the Chinese team was lagging behind in the other two stadiums.
In the South Korean team coach's seat, the assistant coach was happy about the news, but head coach Stilik taught a lesson with a stern face: "What's so happy about this? Let's do our own things first! Even if the Chinese team loses the game, there is still Syria!"
The current score on the field is 0:0. The South Korean team has been unable to break through Uzbekistan's goal, and their own goal has to be wary of Uzbekistan's attack, which is very difficult to play.
Uzbekistan, which is only one point ahead of the Chinese team, is more pleased, because even if they tied with South Korea in this game, as long as the Chinese team and Syria do not win, the third place in the group will still be Uzbekistan.
The Uzbekistan fans in the stands cheered, telling the players on the field that the Chinese team is behind! Uzbekistan fans hope that this news can make the Uzbekistan players cheer up and strive to defeat the South Korean team at home and directly win the second place in the group. What other play-offs are there?
At the Azadi Stadium, Syrian fans had just experienced falling from the clouds into the mud. They took the lead in thirteen minutes of the game. As a result, just as the first half was about to end, the Iranian team tied the score. They almost wiped out their fire of hope.
As a result, just a few minutes into the second half, news came that the Chinese team was lagging behind Qatar.
The few Syrian fans in the stands cheered.
The Chinese team is behind, which means falling behind, and Uzbekistan has not been able to score a goal for a long time. Syria now only needs to do its own thing and strive to win against Iran away. ::
Things have become simple.

"Uzbekistan and South Korea are in the middle of the game, and no one can score a goal, and it's a stalemate. Iran, who was always thought by our fans before the game, performed very manly in this game, and they equalized the score! As a result, we lost the chain ourselves?! Don't count this and that, do your own thing first! Win Qatar! I don't expect you to win a big score, even if you only win one goal, as long as you can get three points!"
"That's it! If both Iran and South Korea win the game and we don't win it ourselves, wouldn't that betrayal? I'm not willing to be eliminated like this!"
"What does it mean to fight to the last moment? At the last moment, you will win first! How much you win, don't lick your face and say that you will do your best! What I hate most is that you will do your best after losing the game! You really have to do your best, you will win! If you win, you will lose to the despicable West Asians, I forgive you, praise you as a hero! If you don't win, tell me a stutter!"
After the Chinese team fell behind, they were eager to equalize the score, which resulted in a large number of loopholes in the defense line. During the Qatar attacks several times, there were only three people in the Chinese team's defense line. If it weren't for the Qatar's own players who failed to seize these opportunities, the Chinese team might have fallen behind by three goals...
The Chinese fans in front of the TV were so anxious that they could no longer suppress their emotions and chose to squirt online.
They are really anxious...
Especially when three people on the defense line faced the opponent's three to four people's attacks, they were really afraid that Qatar would score another goal, and the game would be completely over...
※※※
As soon as Gao Zheng got the ball in the frontcourt, at least two players from Qatar came up to stick to him.
Qatar is very clear about who is the most threatening player of the Chinese team, so they blocked Gao Zheng desperately. As long as Gao Zheng cannot easily get the ball, half of the Chinese team's offense will be scrapped.
As for the others...
Before Gao Zheng returned, they didn't score a goal in five games in the top 12 games, so let's forget it.
The Asian footballer in 2013 has long been old. It has been four years since he won the Asian footballer. What else can he do at the age of 37?
Gao Zheng passed the football horizontally in the encirclement, then turned around and ran forward. The Qatari players who followed him did not disperse to defend the others, but there were still two people following him. Mobile::
When the teammates passed the football again, the two people got stuck next to Gao Zheng, one left and one right, interfering with Gao Zheng's catch.
Gao Zheng could hear their heavy breathing and the muffled groans made when they exerted force. It seemed to be ringing in his ears.
The ball was thrown away under the interference of two Qatari players.
Gao Zheng's first reaction was to chase it back and snatch it.
But he saw that Zheng Zhi had rushed towards the Qatar player, so he turned sideways without hesitation.
The Qatari players were happy to cut Gao Zheng's ball and were thinking of taking advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. Most of the Chinese players were in front, and their backcourt was simply an endless grassland!
But the Qatari player just got the ball and his eyes went dark!
Zheng Zhi rushed to him and then ran into him without hesitation.
A powerful collision made the Qatari player stagger.
At the same time, Zheng Zhi stretched out his foot towards the football, and after kicking the opponent, he poked the football off!
Then he knocked away the Qatari player and rushed towards the football.
He was going to pass the football, but he had already seen Gao Zheng running forward.
But Qatar did not let him go so easily. Another Qatari player rushed up and shoveled towards the football, trying to destroy the football before Zheng Zhi.
Facing the Qatar player's tackle, Zheng Zhi did not avoid it, but met him!
The two people collided hard and fell to the ground at the same time.
Where is football?
When Gao Zheng ran forward, he looked back and saw the football rolling over against the turf.
He also saw the captain who collided with his opponent and then fell to the ground with his feet covering his feet.
But at this time he didn't care about anything else because football came!
※※※
"Zheng Zhi!! After he played against his opponent, he still passed the football over! Gao Zheng received the ball in a gap in the ribs, and the Chinese team's chance!!!"
He Ping shouted excitedly.
On the TV, Gao Zheng turned sideways and pulled the rolling football forward, and at the same time turned around and cut into the penalty area.
Facing the attacking Qatari goalkeeper Shib, he decisively stepped on his feet and rubbed the football towards the upper corner of the goal in the distance.
Chapter completed!
