"Yes, at the end of the first half, I was a little helpless, and I was even a little desperate when the referee was extremely unfavorable to us," Gao Hongbo, who had recovered his composure, accepted questions from the media at the press conference, and sitting next to him was Qin Gude, who turned the tide, "Fortunately, although I don't believe in God, there is a God in our team." ”

The Chinese reporters in the media gallery all smiled kindly.

"When I and all the players were skeptical about the game, Qin Gude stood in front of me. We Chinese don't like to praise individual heroism too much, but I must admit that his coming on the pitch was the turning point of the whole game. Gao Hongbo almost shouted "Long live Qin Gude" directly.

"High Guide, what do you mean...... Qin Gude recommended himself? A reporter asked incredulously.

"That's right," Gao Hongbo did not deny, although for a manager, this kind of thing is inevitably a bit embarrassing, "he asked me if I wanted to win this game, and told me that he didn't want to pin his hopes on the third battle against Uzbekistan." I see in him the fighting spirit and the hope of winning, so I am willing to trust him. ”

There were some low exclamations in the media seats.

"May I ask Qin Goode," the reporters' eyes immediately shifted to the target, "you are only a newcomer to the national team, this is only your first time participating in an official competition, and because the training time with your teammates is too short, you didn't even play in the first game, why are you confident that you can do better than others after you play?" ”

Qin Gude looked at the reporter of the Sports Daily surnamed Ma, and he only said clearly, "Do you think that other teammates are garbage that drags you back", of course you can't jump into such an obvious pit defenselessly, otherwise the Internet will be full of "pig teammates" ten minutes later! The 20-year-old newcomer angrily denounced the national team boss! "Beat the boss! The new national team is born! "Arrange the troops to see his face! Instructor of the Chinese team! "Hero or Devil?! Negative news too.

However, he did not shy away: "I didn't say that I would be able to change the score and the outcome, but I think it is my responsibility to contribute when the team is in trouble. As for the improvement of the shape after that, there are at least three reasons," he said as he sorted out his thoughts, "First, it was already the last twenty minutes, and the physical fitness of the players on both sides had reached a critical point, and I was one of the most physically fit people in the team who did not play in the last game, and the senior director sent me on the field in the hope that I could add impact to the team's frontcourt, and I did not live up to his trust; Secondly, in the second half, we defended very well, although we played less and more half of the time, and in the last ten minutes there were only nine men, but everyone really did together, which also laid the foundation for the last counterattack; Thirdly, in addition to the defense, we still had a strong desire to win when we were 2-2 drawn, whether it was the defenders or the front, we were not willing to get only one draw, until the last second, we were still hungry for a reversal, so we had the last counterattack. Of course, I had good luck in the end. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled lightly.

Mahinder's expression was slightly surprised: he really didn't think that the player sitting on the stage was not yet 20 years old, and although his answer was not watertight, it was difficult for him to hold on to his braids......

But then he came to his senses, he glanced at the laptop in front of him, and casually opened the sports section of a portal, and the domestic fans had already blown this kid into the king of Chinese football......

At this time, why do you have to pour cold water on yourself?

He immediately opened the document in his notebook, deleted all the manuscripts he had written in the middle of the game, and then typed down the new title.

"Who dares to cross the sword immediately, only I, General Qin!" -

In fact, his decision was extremely correct, just a day later, the major domestic media that did not have much hope for the Asian Cup sent their follow-up reporting teams to Qatar as soon as possible, and CCTV finally equipped the commentary team with professional commentators.

Qin Gude, who already has a lot of exposure, has of course skyrocketed in popularity, and his kick in the middle circle has also been compared to Beckham's famous hanging shot, and after the game, the media learned that the Qatari goalkeeper broke a finger because of receiving the ball, and he further became a national hero.

Gao Hongbo also received a call from China, and someone tentatively asked him if he could guarantee the championship of this tournament, and the Chinese young marshal could only promise with a wry smile: "We will do our best, but it will be very difficult." ”

On January 18, in the third match of the group stage, Uzbekistan, which also won both games, faced the Chinese team, and the two teams without any pressure played an offensive battle at the Al Galafa Stadium.

Gao Hongbo, who received a red card in the last game, was banned for one game, but he did not appear in the fan stands, but sat in the broadcast room with CCTV's live broadcast team and made a temporary cameo as a special guest.

In the 5th minute, Yu Hai took the lead for the team, but Uzbekistan immediately won two consecutive games to overtake the score. In less than ten minutes of the second half, Hao Jun equalized with his own free kick, and then he was replaced by Qin Good, and Shao Jiayi, as the team's first captain, also got the opportunity to play for the first time in this Asian Cup.

The teammates of the two clubs soon formed a tacit understanding, and finally Qin Goode gave up his chance to score, and after tearing apart the opponent's defense, he selflessly passed the football to Shao Jiayi, who was outflanked in the middle, and fixed the score at 3-2, and advanced to the knockout stage with a record of winning all three games in the group stage.

On January 22, Qin Good, who started for the first time, used two world waves to blow up Jordan's goal, in addition, he also sent as many as 5 shots for his teammates, but unfortunately Gao Feilin's grasp ability still needs to be improved, otherwise he could have scored a hat-trick, instead of letting the substitute Yang Xuri add icing on the cake.

The 4-1 victory gave the young players of the Chinese team a false illusion, and the domestic media reports made them think that they could win the final title.

But it wasn't until they stepped onto the pitch again, conceding two goals in 30 minutes against favourites Australia, that the Chinese players woke up from a dream.

The starting forward Deng Zhuoxiang was completely at a disadvantage in the direct confrontation with the Australian kangaroos, the style of the ball was soft, the speed was slow, and he was accustomed to observing before playing the ball, he almost did not pose any threat to the opponent, Gao Hongbo made a quick decision, and in less than 40 minutes, he replaced him with Shao Jiayi.

Shao Jiayi, who has been playing in Germany for many years, immediately helped the team stabilize its position, at least he could use his body and experience to control the football a little under the opponent's pressure, plus the assistance of the two wings Artemisia Jun and Qin Good, the three Bundesliga players gradually led the team to play an offensive.

In first-half stoppage time, Hao Jun broke through on the left and was directly brought down by the Australian defender, and the Chinese team won a direct free kick, and the humble Hao Jun gave the penalty opportunity to the elderly Shao Jiayi, who did not live up to the kindness of the little brother and spun the football into the Australian gate with his golden left foot.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought, just at the beginning of the opening Qin Gude on the right side of the self-directed self-play a dragon play, he began to break through with the ball near the middle circle, during which he also came to a two-by-two cooperation with Shao Jiayi, and finally he shook the three-person defense in a row, hoisted the ball to the penalty area, and Gao Feilin, who was waiting for the rabbit, shot angrily at the ball, but directly blasted the ball to the stands.

This is not the first time that his teammates have wasted their own assists, and Qin Goode shook his head a little depressed, if his teammates' ability to grab points and shoot at the level of Peterson, a young striker from Cottages, they would not have played so hard, or even two goals behind......

But he always had to eat one bite at a time, and he couldn't improve his team-mates' shooting ability, but he had a way to change his attacking style, and he completely abandoned the established tactics of sending down the bottom cross from the flank, opting for a pass and cutting inside - he preferred to believe in himself rather than his team-mates.

However, he was clearly not at his best today, with two unsuccessful shots from outside the box in the first half and another attempt in the second half, but the shot was denied by a blow to the chest of the Australian defender – but the unfortunate defender had to be sent off for treatment......

In this short period of three minutes, the Chinese team seized the opportunity to play a wonderful attack: the back Zhao Xuyang made a precise interception and quickly split the side, the left fullback Rong Ritian took the ball forward and sent a long pass, Yang Xuri jumped high with his back against the defender, and returned the football to Shao Jiayi three meters away, Shao Jiayi broke through to the left rib, but used the right instep to dial the ball to Qin Gude on the right side.

The Australian defender immediately chose to grab up, but Qin Goode in front of him suddenly leaned on him and chose to turn around.

With his right foot as the support, he pulled the ball lightly with his left foot, and the whole person slid between the hands of the defender like a gust of wind.

"Marseille Roundabout!" Liu Jianhong, who was in charge of the live broadcast commentary, instantly became angry, and his voice suddenly became hoarse at this moment, "This is a Marseille roundabout!" Qin Goode stunned the reckless Australian defender with a Marseille spin! He burst into the box! He's in no man's land! There is only one goalkeeper in front of him! He shoots! The ball is in! In, in, in! ”

It was almost the first time in a year that Qin Goode had entered the six-yard box to shoot - because he felt that the long-range shot was too difficult today, and the Kangaroos' burly physique made it significantly less open to shoot.

After 2-2, the Chinese team players all showed a decline in their bodies, and in addition to sending a new force, Gao Hongbo also signaled the midfield to reduce the number of forward attacks and take stable defense as the first priority.

Australia, on the other hand, gave up the penetration in the middle and switched to the most primitive long pass, and their continuous high-altitude bombardment, which had a clear physical advantage, finally blasted open the gate guarded by Yang Zhi in the 78th minute and led the score again.

But they didn't get complacent for long, just five minutes later, Shao Jiayi quickly took a free kick near the center circle, Hao Jun and Qin Goode appeared outside Australia's back line at the same time, and the two youngsters played Australian goalkeeper Schwarzer with a pass, and finally Hao Jun stopped the football into the opponent's door.

The 3-3 draw only made the Australian players slightly frustrated, and did not give them a collective red eye - Qin Goode immediately understood as soon as he saw the reactions of the players on both sides that the fitness of the Chinese players could no longer support them in a high-intensity half-hour extra-time match for the kangaroos who were as strong as oxes......

In fact, Australia's judgment is extremely correct, after 90 minutes of fierce scramble, the Chinese team has seen a number of players cramps, in addition to Rong Ritian, Zhao Xuyang and the two barely have a little spare strength, Du Weifeng, Yang Hao, ** Peng and others have already been panting like a cow, even if Artemisia Jun, who has undergone special training under Magat, also feels that his body is at the bottom, and he may fall at any time.

They are just one step away from the final.

But they couldn't lift their legs.
