Prominence in Football Community

There are South Korean reporters to interview Sun Xingmin, and naturally there will be Chinese reporters to interview Gao Zheng, wanting him to talk about the duel with Sun Xingmin.

Like Sun Xingmin, Gao Zheng does not think this game has anything to do with the China-South Korea war in the Asian Cup: "This is a club-to-club game, and it has nothing to do with other things. We lost in the first round, so we returned At home, we will definitely strive to win and advance to the quarter-finals. All my performances in the game are for this purpose. Sun Xingmin? He is very good...It is important for the entire Asian football to have high-level players in Asia It’s a good thing, the improvement of our level can also allow Asian football to win more say in the international arena, such as the number of places in the World Cup..."

Gao Zheng raised the topic to a higher level, completely ignoring what the reporters wanted him to talk about.

But it is different from Sun Xingmin who deliberately does not talk about it and hides his true inner thoughts.

What Gao Zheng said was his true thoughts.

From the perspective of Asian football as a whole, it is indeed a good thing that both China and South Korea have produced high-level players.

Although the South Korean team can participate in the World Cup finals every time, it is difficult to reach the knockout stage. So far, they have only reached the knockout rounds in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, taking advantage of home court advantage. In previous World Cups, it was all limited to the group stage.

This kind of performance is really unreasonable. As a top representative of Asian football, he can't even make it to the group stage in the World Cup. How can he benefit Asian football? Regarding the performance of Asian teams in the World Cup, how can they compete with South America for more qualifying places?

Now that the South Korean team has Sun Xingmin and the Chinese team has Gao Zheng, if the Chinese team can also enter the 2018 World Cup, can we look forward to the performance of the two teams in Russia?

If they all perform well, it is of course a good thing for Asian football as a whole.

In the Asian Cup, the East Asian teams and the West Asian teams could still play badly. But after going to the World Cup, there should be no distinction between East Asia and West Asia. Everyone should show their best performance, try their best to achieve good results, win glory for Asia, justify the name of Asia, and let the cake be shared by FIFA in the future. The back of Asian football can be tougher.

Generally speaking, this is also for the good of Chinese football - when the quotas are allocated for the World Cup in the future, if the Asian teams can use their excellent performance to earn more quotas for Asian football, then it will be difficult for the Chinese team to enter the World Cup finals Isn't it not that big?

Although Gao Zheng spoke the truth,

But it was still regarded as a cover-up by the media.

Everyone seems to be more willing to believe that he and Sun Xingmin are competing with each other.

So before the game, the Chinese and South Korean media were desperately hyping up the grievances between the two.

In response to this situation, Gao Zheng complained to Feng Shiyao on WeChat; "The media structure is really small, do I care so much about personal grievances!"

Feng Shiyao replied with a smile: "Of course."

Gao Zheng didn't expect Feng Shiyao to answer like this. He thought the other party would agree with him, so he protested, "Why am I?"

"Who went to Ki Sung-yong across half the pitch in the Asian Cup? And twice in a row?"

"Who is going to barb in front of Park Zhuhao?"

"..." Facing Feng Shiyao's series of rhetorical questions, Gao Zheng was speechless.

"But I believe you have no personal grudges against Sun Xingmin."

"Bosom friend!"

"Because Sun Xingmin didn't provoke you. Although Leverkusen beat you in the last round, Sun Xingmin didn't play and didn't score a goal."

"..."

"But this game is hard to say. Who knows if Sun Xingmin will score a goal? Who knows if he will celebrate you after scoring a goal?"

"...how do you know me so well!"

"To put it mildly, I'm the roundworm in your stomach."

"...Does this sound good? What if it sounds bad?"

"As soon as you poke your ass, I know what shit you're going to do."

"..." Gao Zheng was completely speechless. "Goodbye, I'm going to take a shower!"

"Go ahead, I wish you a smooth promotion to the quarterfinals tomorrow."

"Friends of the audience, welcome to the Vincent Calderon Stadium! A key battle in the Champions League quarter-finals will be held here. Atletico Madrid will face Leverkusen at home... Although Atletico Madrid is in the first round Lost 1-0 away to Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. But Atletico Madrid have won eight of the nine home games in the Champions League under Diego Simeone, the only exception being last season's Champions League semi-final, Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 with Chelsea at home..."

"Only two of the nine home games have conceded a goal. So far, they have kept the Champions League home game without conceding a goal for 460 consecutive minutes-the last player who scored Atletico Madrid's goal in Calderon was Gao. He scored three goals in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season. Atletico Madrid only conceded four goals at home in the Champions League, three of which were high goals...but now he has After moving to Atletico Madrid, Simeone doesn't have to worry about Gao Hui scoring Atletico Madrid's goal again. Hahaha!"

"Historical data is also more optimistic about Atletico Madrid's elimination of Leverkusen. First of all, the last time Atletico Madrid reversed and eliminated their opponents in the Champions League was against a Bundesliga team. It was against Schalke 04 in 2008. Secondly, although Leverkusen was in the They have maintained a five-game winning streak in recent official games without conceding a goal. However, they have lost five of the last six Champions League away games. Since they reached the final of the Champions League in 2002, they have reached the last sixteen of the Champions League three times. , but they were all eliminated by a big score: last season, they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain with a total score of 1:6; in the 2011-2012 season, they were eliminated by Barcelona with a total score of 2:10; in the 2004-2005 season, they lost to Liverpool 2:6... After defeating Espanyol on penalties in the UEFA Cup final in 1988, Leverkusen faced Spanish teams four times in European competition and were eliminated!"

"Atletico Madrid only lost one goal in the first round, which laid the foundation for the reversal in the second round. As long as Atletico Madrid plays normally, I believe they will eventually advance to the quarterfinals!"

When the commentator was introducing some background of the game, the players from both sides were already standing in the player channel, ready to play.

Gao Zheng felt Sun Xingmin's gaze again, this time the latter was not staring at him behind him.

Instead, when Gao Zheng walked out, he made eye contact with Sun Xingmin who was already standing in the passage.

The two looked at each other, Sun Xingmin's eyes were hot and full of aggression, and the provocation could not be concealed at all, or Sun Xingmin didn't want to conceal it.

And what about Gao Zheng?

Glancing at Sun Xingmin, he smiled at him, then looked away naturally.

If Sun Xingmin thinks he is afraid, then let him.

Anyway, football is not played with eyes.

See you on the pitch.
