The Chinese fans watching the game noticed a detail-Gao Zheng did not follow his teammates back to the locker room, but joined other substitute players on the bench under the leadership of assistant coach Madaloni Warm up.

what does that mean?

Anyone who knows a little bit about football will know that this means that Gao Zheng will not be replaced at the beginning of the second half.

If Lippi wants to make personnel adjustments during the intermission and send Gao Zheng on the field, then he should take Gao Zheng back to the locker room and explain the specific tactics to him. After all, with a role like Gao Zheng, it was impossible to let him play without any special arrangements.

So since he didn't go to the locker room with the players on the field, it means that at least during the intermission, Lippi will not replace him on the field.

This disappointed many Chinese fans in the stands, and then became fear-could Gao Zheng really not be able to play? Did we miss Atlético de Madrid's team doctor? They didn't let him play to protect Gao Zheng?

But if Gao Zheng can't compete in this match...

Looking at the situation in the first half, maybe we will lose to the South Korean team at home...

Losing to Syria at home is certainly irritating and unacceptable... but losing to South Korea is even more irritating and unacceptable!

Especially when thinking of Park Changji's humble appearance, it is even more difficult to calm down.

Lippi in the locker room noticed that the players of the Chinese team were a little absent-minded. He knew why this happened, because Gao Zheng was not here, which meant that Gao Zheng would not play immediately in the second half.

Many people are worried whether Gao Zheng will be able to play...

Although everyone has seen Gao Zheng's performance in training, training and competition are completely different, at least the intensity of confrontation is different. Some players of the Chinese team were even worried that Gao Zheng, who had just returned from injury, would be injured again, so they obviously didn't dare to use too much force when confronting Gao Zheng in training.

This further leads to a gap between training intensity and competition intensity.

Doing well in training doesn't mean you will do well in competition. Even a healthy and normal player can hardly do this, let alone Gao Zheng, who has just recovered from injury and hasn't played in the game for almost seven months.

Seeing this scene,

Lippi knew that the players had doubts in their hearts, so he said sharply through the translator: "What are you doing? Worry about you before worrying about others! You are like this, what if the South Korean team scores a goal? If you want to To win this game, do your own thing well. That is not to lose the ball! Before Gao Zheng plays, I hope we are still on the same starting line as the Korean team!"

After being reminded by the head coach, many people came to their senses.

Yes, if they can't keep their goal and let the South Korean team score, then what's the point of Gao Zheng's appearance? In other words, when Gao Zheng appeared on the stage, what he faced would be hell-level difficulty.

If they really care about Gao Zheng and don't want him to get hurt, then try to lighten Gao Zheng's burden as much as possible. Instead of leaving a mess for Gao Zheng to clean up.

Seeing that the players had returned to normal, Lippi continued in a calm tone: "Although the South Korean team's offense was fierce, we did a good job in the first half and did not allow them to score. So please believe in your ability and believe in it." You can withstand the offensive pressure of the South Korean team, and I believe you can defend against Sun Xingmin."

In addition to Gao Zheng, Sun Xingmin is now the number one star in Asian football.

In many cases, just by appearing in the starting roster, he can bring tremendous pressure to the opponent.

If neither the Chinese team nor the South Korean team have their own top stars, then the Chinese team may not be afraid of the South Korean team at their home court.

But they don't have Gao Zheng, but the South Korean team has Sun Xingmin.

Lippi praised the team's defensive performance in the first half, which is to praise everyone's defense of Sun Xingmin.

In the first half, the number one star of the South Korean team did not get any decent opportunities. More often, Sun Xingmin could only play on the side and rarely go to the center.

Coupled with the tactical choice of the Chinese team, the South Korean team has no chance to fight back, so Sun Xingmin's power has not been brought into play.

Seeing coach Lippi talking about this, the Chinese players in the locker room unconsciously puffed up their chests.

That's really something to be proud of.

In the first half, although the South Korean team was very aggressive, they did not concede a goal.

At the same time, in the locker room of the South Korean team, coach Stillik was criticizing his players' performance in the first half: "Don't worry about whether Gao can play or not. We do our own thing, which is to score first. As long as we In the lead, it doesn't matter whether Gao plays or not. But we had so many shots in the first half, but we didn't score a single goal. Honestly, I am quite disappointed with your performance!"

The South Korean players who were scolded sat down in their seats with their heads bowed.

What they don't want to admit is that they actually underestimated the enemy in the first half.

Playing at the other side's home ground and underestimating the opponent sounds incredible.

But this is indeed the real thinking of many Korean players.

Because of Gao Zheng's absence, they regarded the Chinese team as a soft persimmon in their hearts, but they almost broke their teeth when they thought of biting it down!

Only then did I realize that even without Gao Zheng, the Chinese team is not easy to deal with...

The only thing they didn't understand was that the Chinese team obviously put all their energy into defense in this game. The whole team set up a bus to prevent the South Korean team from scoring.

But even if they do manage to hold on to a 0-0 scoreline, it's only a draw with one point. And if the Chinese team wants to qualify for the World Cup finals, there is basically no difference between scoring one point and zero points in this game.

So many people can't understand Lippi's tactical arrangement.

Or Lippi felt that if he didn't do this, the Chinese team would lose miserably at home. Compared with being unable to qualify for the World Cup finals, losing to the South Korean team at home is more unacceptable to the Chinese?

Maybe it's true...

After all, we have Sun Xingmin here.

With Gao Zheng injured and away from the game for seven months, Sun Xingmin is the well-deserved leader of Asian football and the number one star.

If the Chinese team doesn't defend with all their strength, how can they defend against Sun Xingmin?

"The second half, it can't be like the first half! You must show the fighting spirit to win this game away!!" Stillik said loudly, he thought the players were frightened by the speculation that Gao Zheng might play broken.

To be intimidated by a mascot sitting on the bench is ridiculous to talk about!
