"Opportunity! Gao Zheng...good football!!! Beautiful!"

He Ping raised his arms and shouted in the commentary seat.

Countless Chinese fans jumped up in front of the TV and cheered for the goal.

Although it only equalized the score, not overtaken, equalization is the first step to overtake. If you can't even equalize the score, then what else can you talk about overtaking?

This is definitely a happy thing, but Gao Zheng did not celebrate after scoring the goal, but turned around and ran towards Zheng Zhi. ::

Before he caught the ball, he saw the captain's last look at the captain collided with the opponent's player, and then covered his ankle and fell to the ground.

After he scored the goal, Zheng Zhi had not yet gotten up. He was still covering his ankles and laying on the ground.

Gao Zheng felt a little sad when he saw this, and he knew it was broken.

So he couldn't even care about celebrating and ran to see Zheng Zhi's situation.

And the other Chinese players who wanted to come up to celebrate the goal with him only turned their attention to their captain.

After seeing the captain's situation, I was also shocked.

Gao Zheng was the first to rush to Zheng Zhi and asked anxiously: "How is the captain?"

Zheng Zhi gasped and said, "It's nothing..."

"Can you stand up?"

Gao Zheng tried to help Zheng Zhi up, but after trying several times, it didn't work. Zheng Zhi's right foot was completely useless.

"I'm afraid I can't play this game..." Zheng Zhi showed an apologetic smile to Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng was stunned for a moment. He knew that the captain was telling the truth. His ankles were already swollen with the naked eye...

He gritted his teeth, stood up and made a substitution gesture to the off-field.

"Gao Zheng reminded the sidelines to substitution... Could it be that Zheng Zhi can't hold on?" He Ping exclaimed. The good mood of the Chinese team's goal had long disappeared.

He remembered that before passing the ball to Gao Zheng, Zheng Zhi had hit two consecutive games with two Qatari players.

With a thirty-seven-year-old body, this is indeed a burden for him...

As the team's midfield core and midfield metronome, if he cannot persist in the game, it will be even worse for the current Chinese team!

Can the Chinese midfielder be stable without Zheng Zhi?

Although Zheng Zhi is already 37 years old, judging from this game, his role is very important, both offense and defense, and almost no one can replace him.

This is why he was still the main player in the national team until his age.

I really can't find a successor...

Zheng Zhi was carried down on a stretcher. When he was about to end, he waved to Gao Zheng and asked Gao Zheng to come over.

Then he took off the captain's armband on his arm and handed it to Gao Zheng: "Put it on."

Gao Zheng did not refuse, and took the captain's armband and put it on his left arm.

Seeing him put on his armband, Zheng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll ask you next."

He placed his hope on Gao Zheng.

He did not show any regret, annoyance or reluctance, and he did not even cry, although this might be his last game in the national team...

"Don't worry, captain." Gao Zheng smiled at Zheng Zhi. "Recover well and let's go to the World Cup together."

He patted Zheng Zhi on the shoulder lightly, and then watched their captain be carried off on a stretcher with other teammates.

Then he said to his teammates around him: "The game is not over yet, but it is not safe to win. We must strive to win a few more goals and not give Syria any chance."

"The Chinese team equalized the score, but Zheng was injured and ended up..." In the Syrian coach's seat, the news was quickly reached the ears of Syrian head coach Ayman Hakim.

Hakim frowned and said, "Why isn't Gao injured?"

His first reaction was not that the Chinese team equalized the score, but why it was not Gao Zheng who was injured. It can be seen that he really attaches great importance to Gao Zheng.

"Of course we also hope Gao is injured, but it's not bad now. Zheng is also an indispensable figure for the Chinese team. Without him, the Chinese team can't control the midfield..." said the assistant coach.

"You are right. No matter what, Zheng's injury must be a blow to the Chinese team. It disrupts Lippi's tactics and will probably affect the morale and confidence of other Chinese players..." Hakim nodded. It is indeed unrealistic to expect Gao Zheng to be injured again. Under such circumstances, the injury of the captain of the Chinese national team, Zheng Zhi, is already a relatively good result.

Thinking of this, he stood up from the coach's seat and planned to cheer the players on the field.

The score is still 1:1 now, and the two sides are in a stalemate.

Since there has been good news from the Chinese team, I must catch it.

They have to win this game.

It's already 63 minutes now, and the score is still 1:1. If you don't hurry up, how can you win against Iran?

But just as Hakim got up and left the seat and walked to the edge of the command area, the Iranian team launched an attack on the field.

Their forward Azmon ran away and scored the ball into Syria!

The cheers of Azadi Stadium were thundering, and Hakim's body shook, as if he was hit by the cheers...

"The Iran team is ahead!!" He Ping couldn't wait to spread the news to the Chinese audience in front of the TV.

Whether the Chinese team can qualify for the playoffs as the third in the group? At present, the direct competitor is not Uzbekistan, but Syria.

If the Chinese team cannot win the game against Qatar and Syria wins, regardless of whether Syria can gain the upper hand in the competition with South Korea and Uzbekistan, at least it will be missed in the playoffs.

Only when Syria cannot win the ball will the Chinese team need to consider the results of the match between Uzbekistan and South Korea.

The Iranian team is very powerful now and has not deliberately let the water go.

Since the opponent has achieved this, shouldn’t the Chinese team do their own things better?

There are still twenty-six minutes left for the Chinese team. If the injury stoppage time is included, it may take nearly half an hour.

In this half hour, the Chinese team only needs one goal.

But what is worrying is whether Zheng Zhi's fate will have an adverse impact on the Chinese team...

The TV broadcast pointed the camera at Gao Zheng. He was tidying up the captain's armband on his arm. He seemed not very used to wearing this thing, and it collapsed a little when he ran.

After Zheng Zhi left the court, the eyes of all Chinese fans were like this close-up shot, focusing on Gao Zheng.

In the Chinese team, there are actually only a few people who are more qualified to wear captain's armband than Gao Zheng. Gao Zheng is not the first captain of the team, nor the second and third captain.

But at this critical moment, Zheng Zhi personally handed the captain's armband to Gao Zheng, and he understood what it meant.
Chapter completed!
