Chapter 314: Physical Fatigue

Tang Zheng arrived at Sydney International Airport at half past eight in the morning of the 12th local time in Australia, that is, half past six in Beijing time, and half past eleven in the evening of the 11th German time, which means that Tang Zheng spent nearly a day on the plane.

This is also where Klopp and the domestic media and fans in China are worried, the European competition is already intense, and the physical confrontation is more frequent, is it really good for Tang Zheng to fly back and forth for more than 40,000 kilometers?

Tang Zheng, who had just walked out of the exit of an international flight, had an unconcealable fatigue on his face, so the fans and interviewing media who spontaneously came to Sydney International Airport to pick up the airport had a lot of complaints about the Chinese Football Association's call.

Despite this, Tang Zheng still smiled and waved to the media and fans present, and tried his best to meet the fans' requirements.

Three days later, China will take on an uneven World Cup qualifier in Sydney at the Allianz Stadium, but they have recently rebounded in form, beating South Korea 1-0 at home last month to win their first game.

Then he defeated Japan 2:1 in the warm-up match, showing good competitive form.

Looking at the Chinese players, the 2012 season of the Chinese Super League ended at the beginning of the month, and the Chinese Football Association did not arrange a warm-up match before the World Cup qualifiers like the Australian national team.

Of course, the most important thing is that Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, who play in the Bundesliga, flew from distant Germany to Australia, and the fatigue caused by their bodies is immeasurable.

Tang Zheng arrived at the hotel where the Chinese team stayed at about half past nine, and he rested and dined at the hotel before following the national team for recovery training.

The big battle is imminent, even if Tang Zheng feels that his physical condition is not good, he also participated in the team's joint training, otherwise the game three days later is likely to lose suspense.

Hao Junmin arrived in Sydney half a day later than Tang Zheng, because Schalke 04's league game was played half a day later than Dortmund.

Perhaps it was a physical hazard caused by fatigue, and Hao Junmin suddenly felt discomfort in the soleus muscle of his calf during the group practice the day before the competition.

He held out for about five minutes, shook his head, and walked to the team doctor.

There was no tactical aspect to the team, so it was open to journalists and fans......

In other words, the scene of Hao Junmin going to the team doctor is in the eyes of everyone, coupled with Tang Zheng's slightly sluggish mental state, many domestic media are worried about the World Cup qualifiers that the Chinese team will play at Allianz Stadium in Sydney tomorrow night.

Back at the hotel in the evening, Tang Zheng sat at the head of the bed after taking a shower with his brows tightly locked, holding the I-Pad in his hand and video chatting with his girlfriend Zhao Lina, he seemed not very concentrated, so that Zhao Lina pouted her cute little mouth and said, "Do you have other women outside?" Now you can't talk to me anymore, hum!"

"What are you talking about?How can I have time to find other women?Eh~" Tang Zheng noticed Zhao Lina's sly smile on the screen, and immediately realized that this was his girlfriend's trick, and said with a straight face: "Now make you proud! When the winter break comes, I will make you cry and beg for mercy." ”

"Hmph~ Who is afraid of whom?" Zhao Lina's face in the video was obviously red, but in the face of her boyfriend Tang Zheng, she held her head high and was very cute.

"Yes, I'm bolder. ”

……

After more than half an hour of bickering between couples, Tang Zheng was in a much better mood, and for tomorrow night's World Cup qualifiers, let it be.

There are some things that cannot be forced.

※※※

Artemisia Junmin will be out of the next World Cup qualifiers because of a calf soleus injury, which means that the Chinese team relied on only Tang Zheng in the World Cup qualifiers away to Australia.

Domestic media and fans once again pointed the finger at the Chinese Football Association, it is not easy for Chinese players to survive in Europe, and Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, who are tens of thousands of kilometers away, are recruited when the overall strength gap of the team is relatively obvious, which is really brainless!

Now it's okay, Hao Junmin was injured without playing, and I don't know if it will affect his status in Schalke 04 after returning from injury.

Tang Zheng's current state is still not ideal, and it is obviously affected by long-distance flights.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon of November 15, Beijing time, that is, at 8 o'clock in the evening of Australian time, the sixth round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Group A focused battle kicked off at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney.

Australia host Group A winners China.

The Chinese team can occasionally rank first in Group A, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is beneficial to draw with Australia and South Korea at two home games.

In the second half, the Chinese team will visit Australia and South Korea, and it will inevitably be revealed.

With the whistle of Malaysian referee Amir, the World Cup qualifiers between the Chinese team and Australia were announced, and Gao Lin kicked the football to Yu Chao.

Yu Chao smashed the ball and turned to face his own goal, and then passed to Tang Zheng ten meters away.

Cahill and Bresciano rushed to Tang Zheng one left and one right, and unlike before, Tang Zheng chose to cross to the right side to open the passing angle of Zhang Linpeng.

If it had been placed in the past, Tang Zheng would definitely use his superb foot skills to improve morale, but in the past two days, he felt that he was not in shape, and he avoided the opportunity to counterattack due to the slow ball at his feet, and the ball was very crisp.

At the beginning, the Chinese team's offensive and defensive transition was very stable under the control of Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi, and Australia, sitting at home, did not have many chances.

It wasn't until the 30th minute of the game that Australia slowly built up a central advantage.

Immediately, the Chinese team's goal began to be noisy.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei gave his own views on the predicament encountered by the Chinese team: "Flying more than 20,000 kilometers to Sydney is a very big consumption for Tang Zheng, yesterday I personally interviewed Tang Zheng, he talked about his physical condition is not in the best condition, there is a feeling of more than enough strength, he worked hard in the first 30 minutes of the game to help the Chinese team control the midfield, but after 30 minutes his physical fitness seems to have problems......"

There are also fans who came to the scene to support the Chinese team, keenly aware that Tang Zheng's coverage area is gradually decreasing, resulting in a gradual decline in the control of the Chinese team.

The live director gave a shot to the visiting coach Camacho, his face was a little heavy, obviously a little dissatisfied with the team's current predicament, but the other Chinese players had limited ability to help Tang Zheng share the pressure.

The only good news for the Chinese team was that they did not concede a goal before the end of the first half, and the score remained 0:0

At the same time, Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp rarely watched the live broadcast of the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers.

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng many shots, and it was not difficult to see from his face that he was tired.

After the international break, the league is playing at home, the opponent is not strong, it is the second-to-last promoted Magretthofer, who is not very problematic.

Considering that multiple players participate in warm-up matches for the national team or World Cup qualifiers, even playing at home can be risky.

The desire to win on the relegation favourites is immeasurable.

Seeing Tang Zheng's fatigue in the half-game, Klopp wondered if he should give up Tang Zheng in the weekend's league?

To be honest, he was very conflicted.

However, there is still a crucial fifth round of the Champions League group stage after the league, and Klopp has to give up on this, after all, the league opponents are limited and not strong enough to threaten the solid backline of Schmelzer, Hummels, Subotic and Piszczek.

Quan should give Tang Zheng a short vacation to resume the game.

The fifteen-minute break passed in a blink of an eye, and the second half changed sides again, and Australia still dominated the field at home.

In the absence of a good solution, Camacho took the lead in making personnel changes, removing an attacking player and replacing him with a defensive midfielder.

Zhao Xuri replaced Yu Chao on the field.

This was a signal to liberate Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng's physical and physical condition was obviously not good, so Camacho's substitution adjustment did not help much on the offensive end.

After all, the Australians are the focus of Tang Zheng's defense, and whenever he comes forward, a full-time bodyguard will follow, and there are other people waiting for the opportunity to move.

For Tang Zheng, the game was very aggrieved, and he always felt that he couldn't use his strength.

Once again, the ball in the front court was cut off by Bresciano and Spiranovic, and in order to avoid Australia's quick counterattack, Tang Zheng chose to kick down Bresciano who took the ball behind him.

Therefore, Tang Zheng received a yellow card.

Tang Zheng shook his head, and then supported his knees with both hands, very helpless.

Yang 5 commentator He Weidao: "Tang Zheng's fatigue is obvious, although the current score has not changed, I think as Tang Zheng's fatigue increases, the Chinese team will be exposed to more and more crises ......"

As soon as the words fell, the Australian backfield made a long pass directly to the frontcourt.

Since Tang Zheng has not returned to his position, the veteran Cahill's header hit rate is very high, and Feng Xiaoting, who is taller, has not been able to grab the landing point, and the football is rubbed in front of the striker Ritchie who decisively stepped forward after Cahill's header.

Richie is fast, he stretches out his feet in a high-speed run and goes directly into the penalty area, and then grabs the shot before the central defender Du Wei who comes over to complete the shot, goalkeeper Zeng Cheng reacted very quickly, that is, Richie's shooting angle is particularly tricky, and the football is crashing into the far post of the goal and rolling into the net.

Australia broke the deadlock and took the lead in the 67th minute of full-time!

A deafening loud shout rang out at Sydney's Allianz Stadium, and they vented their pleasure.

Tang Zheng in the broadcast camera supported his knees with both hands, he felt the hot feeling in his lungs, and kept hinting to himself in his heart - insist on persevering!

After the score fell behind, Camacho asked for a substitution again, and Yu Xiaobao removed Zheng Zhi to strengthen the offensive ability of the front.

However, the effect of this substitution is not ideal, and the removal of Zheng Zhi means that Tang Zheng must retreat to partner Zhao Xuri, otherwise it is very likely that there will be no goal in front and the goal will be lost first.

In the 79th minute, Australia scored again.

Veteran Bresciano sent in a high-quality cross from 45 degrees down the right and Cahill pressed the ball past Feng Xiaoting to head the ball into the near corner.
