Prominence in Football Community

Because of Gao Zheng's confrontation with Xu Jiang before the game, everyone's attention from the game was diverted a lot to this matter.

I didn't pay much attention to the game itself.

This virtually reduces the pressure on the players of the Chinese team.

But from the perspective of Indonesia, they have a different understanding-when they heard that Gao Zheng had openly confronted a reporter and angrily scolded the reporter at the press conference, they were ecstatic.

With the virtues of Chinese football, shouldn't the Chinese Football Association expel Gao Zheng for violating discipline?

After the Chinese team lost Gao Zheng, the team fell into chaos and the morale of the army was scattered. When facing them, they had no intention of playing.

Isn't this a great chance for Indonesia to win the game?

However, when the two sides announced the starting list two hours before the game, the Indonesian side found that Gao Zheng was on the list.

The Chinese Football Association didn't fire Gao Zheng?

AIA was surprised.

When Gao Zheng opened the scoring for the Chinese team in the opening 14 minutes, and he did not celebrate the goal, but ran towards the middle circle with the football in his arms, the suspense of the outcome of the game seemed to be lost.

At the end of the first half, Gao Zhengyou sent a cross from the wing to help Wu Lei score with a header.

The Chinese team led Indonesia 2:0.

Gao Zheng's ability to start made the fans of the Chinese team very happy. Because it seems to mean that what happened outside the court will not affect the court - perhaps everyone cares more about this matter than the outcome of the game.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Gao Zheng missed a goal, but he sent two more assists and completed a hat-trick of assists, helping the Chinese team beat Indonesia 5-0 at home.

In the two games, they beat Indonesia by nine goals, which is really enough. In this way, in the final competition for the qualifying places in the group, if the goal difference needs to be compared, the Chinese team will take advantage of it.

In fact, when facing the weakest team in the group, any team will ask for as much goal difference as possible while winning.

After playing against Indonesia this time,

Gao Zheng didn't rush back to Italy non-stop, because there was still a national team match.

He will continue to prepare for the Asian Cup qualifiers in Xi'an with his teammates of the national team. The next opponent is Saudi Arabia, the strongest team in this group.

The result of this game may be directly related to whether the Chinese team qualify or not.

While the Chinese team beat Indonesia at home, Saudi Arabia also beat Iraq 2:1 at home.

The situation in this group is as follows: Saudi Arabia has four victories in four races and ranks first with twelve points. The Chinese team ranked second with nine points from three wins and one loss. Iraq ranked third with three points from one win and three losses. Indonesia ranked first from the bottom with zero points in all four games.

Saudi Arabia has already won the group qualifying spot in advance, and the situation of the Chinese team is very good. As long as the remaining two games are not lost by a big score, they will basically be able to qualify from this group. And if Iraq wants to qualify for the second place in the group, it has to count on the Chinese team to lose most of the remaining two rounds of the group stage. Next, relying on the goal difference advantage to squeeze out the Chinese team.

But it is not easy to do this.

The Chinese team now has a goal difference of nine goals, while Iraq has a negative goal difference of three goals. The difference between the two sides is twelve goals.

Even if the Chinese team loses to Saudi Arabia at home, as long as they draw with Iraq in the last game, they can still qualify as second in the group.

Not to mention that the Chinese team may not be able to lose to Saudi Arabia at home. As long as they score one more point, they will get a place to qualify for the group in advance—Iraq can only compete for the only group with the best score to qualify for third quota.

So the Chinese team is very important in the next game against Saudi Arabia, as long as they draw, they can qualify!

Wait, as long as you tie, you can qualify?

The phrase "you can qualify for a tie" has almost become a curse for Chinese football, so that many elderly Chinese fans feel their hearts jump when they hear this sentence, for fear that something will happen again A moth.

Although it is reasonable to say that for the two teams of China and Saudi Arabia, shaking hands and making peace is the most beneficial result. But no one can guarantee that the game will be carried out according to this idea.

Not to mention that China and Saudi Arabia have some feuds in football.

The Chinese team has entered the Asian Cup finals twice in history, but has never won a championship. One of the times when I broke into the final but lost the championship, everyone must still be impressed, that is, in 2004, I lost to the Japanese team in the final at my own door. But this is the second time.

The opponent who lost the Asian Cup championship for the first time was Saudi Arabia. That was in 1984. The Chinese team was strong at that time and reached the final all the way, but lost to Saudi Arabia 0:2 in the final. Saudi Arabia stepped on China The body of the team won the first Asian Cup championship in their country's history, and this also opened the prelude to Saudi Arabia's football dominance in Asia. They later won the Asian Cup three times. Before the Japanese team won the Asian Cup four times in 2011, it was One of the countries that has won the most championships in this event-the other two countries that have won the Asian Cup three times are Japan and Iran.

The Chinese team has yet to get involved in the Asian Cup.

To say that it is normal to lose to a team with better performance and stronger strength in the game, it is not a grudge.

Then the scene in the 1982 World Cup qualifiers was the real "deep hatred".

At that time, the head coach of the Chinese team was Su Yongshun, and the players included Chi Shangbin, Li Fusheng, Rong Zhixing, Gu Guangming, Zuo Shusheng, Shen Xiangfu...all of them were famous figures in Chinese football. Some people say that this is history. The most powerful Chinese team in the world.

The Chinese team and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and New Zealand are divided into a group for home and away games. The top two teams in the group will qualify for the World Cup in Spain.

The Chinese team drew 0:0 in the first two rounds and lost 0:1 to New Zealand. The situation was not good, but then the Chinese team recovered and defeated Kuwait 3:0. You must know that Kuwait had just won the Asian Cup in 1980. Won the championship, powerful, and in the limelight - against Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team won 4:2 and 2:0 home and away doubles, winning three consecutive victories.

In the last game, the Chinese team lost to Kuwait and ended all games first.

At that time, the inexperienced Chinese team thought that the appearance was a foregone conclusion, and it was almost impossible to have any accidents, so they disbanded the team after the game against Kuwait, and the players went home one after another to prepare for the New Year.

There was a reason for them to be so big-hearted. At that time, the Chinese team was ahead of their competitor New Zealand in terms of points and goal difference. You must know that Saudi Arabia was able to draw their opponents 2:2 at home in New Zealand. It makes no sense to lose five goals after returning home.

Therefore, the Chinese team feels that the situation is very stable, and only after the final round of competition is over, can they celebrate their first World Cup finals in history.

Unexpectedly, Saudi Arabia, who returned to the home court, really lost five goals-they lost to New Zealand 0:5.

In this way, the Chinese team and New Zealand are the same in terms of points and goal difference, ranking second after Kuwait.

The two teams must play an extra game on a gravity field.

The Chinese team assembled hastily and were severely under-prepared to face New Zealand in Singapore. They were very uncomfortable with New Zealand's rough play. In the end, they lost to New Zealand 1:2 and lost the right to qualify for the World Cup.

Saudi Arabia's practice of harming others without benefiting itself has brought great harm to Chinese football.

Although 31 years have passed since this incident, it is impossible for the current Saudi Arabian team to still have a player from that year. The Chinese team also participated in the World Cup in 2002.

World Cup qualifiers are not the same as Asian Cup qualifiers.

But this does not mean that Chinese fans have forgotten this matter.

After all, Saudi Arabia and Iraq are both "brothers" of West Asian football. For the glory of West Asian football, it is not surprising that the two teams will do anything to invite them.

Perhaps in order to help their West Asian brothers get the right to qualify for the Asian Cup, Saudi Arabia will do its best to beat the Chinese team?

Therefore, it is not wishful thinking that Saudi Arabia will release water on the Chinese team after obtaining the Asian Cup quota in advance.

Saudi Arabian football has a tradition of releasing water, but they will never release water to East Asian teams.

If the Chinese team wants to ensure that they qualify for the group stage, they must firmly hold their own destiny in their own hands.
