Chapter 52 The Chinese team is not alone
After Zheng Zhi was injured, Lippi's response was to replace him with a pure defensive midfielder. Although this would reduce the team's offensive quality, the first thing to do is to ensure that he does not concede the ball.
After all, after Qatar was equalized, he was excited after seeing the Chinese team's midfield core coming off due to injury.
The offense is very fierce, and I want to take the Chinese team's life while the Chinese team is sick.
In such a situation, of course, the offense cannot be prioritized.
Only by not losing the ball and surviving first can you talk about output.
In this way, the Chinese team can only try to be as simple as possible when attacking. If there is a ball in the backcourt, they will pass the ball to the front, which is more important than the personal ability of the offensive players. If they fight alone, it is difficult to get up and help.
Watching the game during this period made Chinese fans very nervous, fearing that Qatar would score another goal. They were really afraid that the Chinese team's fragile ability to withstand the complete collapse...
"...I'm afraid that the Chinese team will lose the ball in this offensive sooner or later..." There are more pessimistic Chinese fans on the Internet who can't wait to say this.
No one has time to scold him because everyone is worried.
Xiao Yingying and Feng Shiyao also paid attention to the game in front of the TV. They were also very nervous and did not communicate in front of the TV.
There was nothing in the living room except for the commentator He Ping and the sound at the competition scene.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing.
※※※
Gao Zheng, wearing the captain's armband, was still under key guarding by Qatari players. He always had at least one Qatari player around him, sometimes two to three.
They are now defending Gao Zheng and are very ruthless.
If you can, you can get started, and sometimes you even use hands and feet.
But because this is their home court, the referee cannot make a foul on Qatar every time, otherwise the game will not be able to go on normally and will always be interrupted by the whistle.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Qatar wins or loses in this game. They have lost the qualification to advance to the World Cup anyway.
But they still chose to fight against the Chinese team at home. To put it nicely, this is sports ethics. They didn't just do it just because they were eliminated early.
So Chinese fans can't scold Qatar for harming others and not being selfish. They didn't leave the game, otherwise Iran could not do all his strength and lose to Syria at home. Anyway, Iran has qualified early... Computer terminal::/
When the football was passed from behind to Gao Zheng, who was facing away from the offensive direction, in addition to a defensive player who had been following him, a Qatari player was pressing him from the side.
The two of them have to complete the double-team defense against Gao Zheng.
They had cut off Gao Zheng's ball under his feet like this before. If Zheng Zhi hadn't suddenly rushed out and intercepted the ball, Qatar would have made a successful counterattack.
But now they are not afraid because Zheng Zhi is already injured!
They pressed behind Gao Zheng, not giving him the opportunity to turn around and take the football into the penalty area.
As long as Gao Zheng is not allowed to turn around, they believe that defense is successful.
Facing the football rolling over, Gao Zheng stretched out his feet and rubbed the football slightly, but this did not help him get rid of the defense.
Two Qatari players are still faithfully stuck behind him and fulfilling their mission.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Zheng swung his left foot and picked up the rubbed football behind him!
The football flew over the heads of him and the two Qatari players, but he did not turn around and break through with the football, which made the two Qatari players who had been guarding him tightly wait, and the two of them were sucked firmly by Gao Zheng.
As for his ball...
Flying from above him to the space in the penalty area behind him.
There, Wu Lei raised his foot and intercepted the football in the air!
Because Qatar's defensive focus is all on Gao Zheng, the defense of other Chinese players seems insufficient.
"Gao Zheng's wonderful legend! Wu Lei!!"
He Ping widened his eyes, feeling so nervous that he couldn't even say a word about the following words.
Everyone knows that Wu Lei's running position is world-class, but his shooting in front of the goal is not top-notch, especially the single shot that looks the least difficult to shoot, which makes him unable to play well...
If he wasted the opportunity that Gao Zheng finally created...
After Wu Lei stopped the ball, there was basically no time to adjust, so he hit the ball!
The football flew towards Qatar's goal!
All the Chinese fans in front of the TV were almost in their throats. Someone covered their mouths with his hands, as if they were afraid that their heart would jump out directly.
Qatari goalkeeper Al Schulbi made a save, and he even hit the football.
After the football was touched by his palm, it bounced to the ground. After it bounced back to the ground, it still jumped tenaciously towards the goal.
No one can stop the ball from entering the goal anymore!
"Wu Lei! Wu Lei!!! The Chinese team overtakes the score! We took the lead! 2:1!!"
He Ping raised his arms and shouted.
The two Qatari players who were still stuck behind Gao Zheng turned around and looked at the football in the goal in a daze.
Who said that Gao Zheng is the only one in the Chinese team?!
At this time, Gao Zheng ran over between the two of them and opened his arms to celebrate the goal with Wu Lei.
※※※
Xiao Yingying breathed a long sigh and fell on the sofa.
Her heart was still beating wildly, but at least she didn't have to worry about jumping out of her throat.
At this time, she no longer cared whether Gao Zheng scored the ball. As long as the Chinese team scored the ball, it would be fine. Everyone scored the ball.
Let's talk about the World Cup.
"This is the real La Liga forward team!" She murmured as she looked at Gao Zheng and Wu Lei hugging each other on the TV screen.
Feng Shiyao couldn't help laughing when she saw her like this, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
※※※
Wu Lei's biggest contribution to this goal is not to give the Chinese team the lead, but to make the Qatar defenders in chaos in the next defense. Should they defend Gao Zheng or Wu Lei? Although Gao Zheng was so defensive that they could not enter the penalty area and could not complete the shot, they could pass the ball!
Look at how beautiful the pass just now, when everyone thought he was back and turned around and shot, he directly picked the ball behind him and completed a straight pass.
With Gao Zheng's skills and awareness, as well as height and vision, isn't it normal for such a pass?
If they continue to use two to three people to defend Gao Zheng, it means that other Chinese players will not be able to keep an eye on them.
Although Zheng Zhi ended up, he still has Wu Lei!
He has also performed well with Espanyol this season.
When the game started again, Gao Zheng clearly felt that the defensive pressure around him had been reduced.
His activity space is also larger.
For him, when Qatar only defended him with one person, he really didn't take it seriously.
In the 77th minute, Gao Zheng faced a Qatari player who was defending him to get the ball. He first pretended to pass the football to Wu Lei who was receiving the response next to him, but then suddenly pushed the football in the opposite direction and seemed to break through from another side. The Qatari player who was deceiving him quickly turned around and followed.
But Gao Zheng deducted the football back.
The Qatar defensive player could no longer keep up with Gao Zheng's rhythm and fell to the ground with a slippery foot.
Gao Zheng, who got rid of the defense, completed a low shot on the penalty area before the other Qatar players rushed forward.
He played this ball very tricky and went straight to the dead corner in the lower right corner of the goal!
Although goalkeeper Schulby tried hard to save the game, he was always out of reach. He failed to touch the football and could only watch the football fly into the goal for the third time!
"3:1! Gao Zheng scored twice in three consecutive top 12 games!"
When He Ping shouted this sentence, he felt relieved. The huge rock in his heart finally landed... Does the Chinese team, which is leading two goals, still have to worry about being pulled back by Qatar?
You should know that there is no need for Qatar to fight with them at all. Now that the situation is so much like this, Qatar has no reason to continue fighting to fight.
In the other two arenas, South Korea and Uzbekistan are still in a stalemate, no winner and no one scored a goal.
Iran is still leading Syria 2:1. Mobile::
