Zheng Zhi's remarks about sudden death from a heart attack have received wide attention from sports media around the world, and they have posted articles to express their support for Zheng Zhi.

Of course, there are also stars from all over the world who are on Zheng Zhi's side.

Brescia star Roberto Baggio gave an interview to Milan Sport: I think Zheng Zhi's words are right, usually the club treats the inspection too perfunctory, which is quite a bad behavior. We must step up our daily health check-ups to ensure our health. A pre-match physical examination is quite necessary. Zheng Zhi's opening has opened a door for our health, which is a very positive sign, and I hope that all clubs can take inspiration and attention from it.

Zheng Zhi's team-mate Ronaldo was even more enthusiastic, saying in an interview with Sky Sports: "Yes, I think Zheng Zhi has a point, for players, injuries are the scariest thing, and if we can do a detailed medical check-up before the game and then go back to the game, it will minimise our risk." When I was still in Brazil, I always heard about some athletes dying suddenly on the pitch, but it didn't get too much attention, and I thought it was time for a change. ”

Ronaldo's experience of injuries, let alone life-threatening illnesses? He actively cooperated with Zheng Zhi's remarks and responded to Zheng Zhi's call.

England's golden boy, Michael Owen, also told the Daily Mail: "Yes, I agree with those sentiments, especially in the Premier League, where we have so much movement that we have to play a game almost every three days. The club really needs to make sure we're fit before we play, it's not like nothing hasn't happened in England, there have been a lot of people leaving the world like this in the lower leagues, I remember a lot of years ago there was a tragedy like that in the Liverpool Academy and I don't want to see that again. ”

However, in China, there are some people who do not support Zheng Zhi, who are the owners of those clubs.

A club owner in Guangdong was very dissatisfied, and he said in an interview with the Southern Metropolis Daily: "This is alarmist! ”

"Who doesn't have birth, old age, sickness and death. No one wants this to happen, and that's bad luck. Before every player enters the club, he has undergone a detailed medical examination, and no one has this disease, how can it appear later? Zheng Zhi exaggerated this danger, isn't this a scare to the players? There is no positive effect on the players, on the club. ”

"You can't have to do some series of checks on the players every game, right? People are in good health, what do you check? Waste of manpower and material resources. Do you have to go to the hospital every time you race? It's also stupid. ”

A club owner in Shanghai also thinks that Zheng Zhi's statement is a bit exaggerated, "I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter too exaggerated, everything will be risky, there will be accidents, this is an accident." Competitive competitions are also risky. No one wants that to happen, but it would be an exaggeration to say that we have to do so much work every time because of this. ”

Many people don't fully understand what Zheng Zhi said, in fact, it's because there are too few people who have died, and they can't be taken seriously at all. Zheng Zhi and other limited stars are also difficult to change these, and perhaps only in the future, when more and more players die because of this disease, will they really attract attention......

On the 24th, the match between the Chinese team and Qatar in the 1/4 finals of the Asian Cup is about to start, and the Qatar team announced the starting lineup before the game as follows:

Goalkeeper: Allomeni

Defenders: Adam Mu, Mohammed, Alkasri, Al-Obadli, Al-Shamari

Midfielders: Albrus, Artamimi, Abdullah, Najimi

Forwards: Mohamed Maud, Alenaz

On the Chinese side, the main force was finally sacrificed.

Goalkeeper: Jiang Jun

Defenders: Sun Jihai, Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng, Wu Chengying

Midfielders: Li Ming, Zheng Zhi, Li Yin, Shao Jiayi

Forwards: Yang Chen, Qu Peng

Zheng Zhi returned to the main lineup after sitting on the bench for less than a minute of playing time in two consecutive games. This is the knockout round, it is impossible for Horton to play with fire anymore, Zheng Zhi is the guarantee of victory, the guarantee of attack!

However, in the football stadium of Saida, Lebanon, there was really no atmosphere at all. Even if the opponent is Qatar in West Asia, there are not even 1,000 spectators at the scene.

Zhang Lu complained in the live broadcast room:

"Lebanon is so miserable, just this audience, there are not as many fans as there are in the domestic amateur games."

"From the very beginning, many people were skeptical that the Asian Cup would be held in Lebanon. Not only because war could break out at any time, but also because of Lebanon's weak football base and poor football market. As the game progressed, both Lebanon and the AFC felt their faces burn. To be sure, Lebanon's hosting of the Asian Cup has somehow failed. ”

"There are very few spectators."

"Lebanon has a very poor football foundation and there are very few real fans. Except for the opening ceremony and the three matches of the domestic team, few people came to the stadium to watch the Asian Cup. After the Lebanese team was eliminated, the Lebanese crowd disappeared all at once. According to statistics, in the match between the South Korean team and the Indonesian team on the 19th, the number of people present was less than 500, including the cheerleaders of the two teams, reporters, referees and officials who watched the game, and the audience was less than 100 people. The 60,000-capacity stands have a deserted atmosphere. AFC Secretary-General Villapan was outraged by the embarrassment, commenting: "The game is like being held in a graveyard, and you can't even see anyone. ””

"What a good word for graveyards."

"But, Zheng Zhi has a super high popularity here, don't you say it's strange? On his first day in Lebanon, he was surrounded by hundreds of fans. ”

"Due to the lack of spectators, Snicker, which specializes in chocolate, has withdrawn its sponsorship of the Asian Cup. The company's marketing representatives declared that such a contest was not worth the investment at all. The other business groups that sponsor the Asian Cup have not yet offered to divest or anything like that, but they have clearly been completely disappointed with the investment in the Asian Cup. Marketing investigators are reluctant to go to the venue to investigate, knowing that their billboards won't be noticed. It is said that most of the sponsors are directly sponsored products, and their losses may be a little smaller. ”

Huang Jianxiang also interjected and complained.

"What's more? Equipment failures are frequent. ”

"At the start of this Asian Cup, they made a good impression on their press centre. The service is warm and attentive, and the quality of the service staff is also very high. But there are more and more problems that arise with it. First, the toll-free local telephone at the press center could not be called, and then the Internet failed. There was little to do but ask the reporters to restart their computers, and the desperate reporters had to call for help from the most expensive international calls. After more than two hours, the staff called in an engineer to troubleshoot. This happens a lot in other arenas. ”

And at the sports centre in Tripoli, the press chair is still the invisible killer, and few people dare to sit in the chair there. The steps there are all not fixed, and the top is a large strip-shaped stone, which does not quite match the bottom, and if you are not prepared, you may fall at any time if you step on it. Although there is a power socket under the press gallery, it has a very special system, and many plugs cannot be connected to the power supply at all. ”

"While the enthusiasm of the Lebanese staff is very high, it does not offset the fundamental shortcomings. For so many reasons they can't change, the Asian Cup in Lebanon can only be regretted by the AFC officials who selected Lebanon in the first place. ”

Huang Jianxiang said a lot.

"But!"

He suddenly took a big turn.

"It's good for China!"

"If the 2004 Asian Cup is not held in China, then the AFC will be really blind."

"Look at Lebanon, their tournament is organized like this, can Iran? Can Thailand? Why not China? ”

"So I think that unless the AFC's brain is pumped, it will not choose China."

Zhang Lu: "Hehe, it makes sense. ”

"Another point is that the Asian Cup is not played in the home country of Asia's number one star, which is really unreasonable."

"And Asia, not the most fans in the world!"

After the tournament, the AFC will announce the host country of the 2004 Asian Cup, China, Thailand and Iran are all bidding, but it seems that only China is the most promising, Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu are very reasonable. Unless the Asian Cup doesn't want to make money, it is impossible for them not to give this big gift to China.

Beep

In the empty stadium, the quarter-finals finally began.

"The starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game is: goalkeeper Jiang Jun, defenders (from left to right) Wu Chengying, Li Weifeng, Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai, and defenders (from left to right): Shao Jiayi, Li Yin, Zheng Zhi, Li Ming; The strikers are partnered by Yang Chen and Qu Peng. Qatar also lined up the traditional 442 formation, with goalkeeper Al Lomeni, defenders Adam Mohammed, Al Qasri, Al Obayd, Al Shamari, midfielders Albrus, Al Tamimi, Abdullah, Najimi, and Maude and Ennaz in the forwards. ”

After the opening, the Chinese team played very patiently, and often dominated by short passes on the ground, Li Yin and Zheng Zhi moved left and right, pulling in a wide range, and seemed quite active.

Soon the Chinese team controlled the midfield.

Huang Jianxiang couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really enjoyable." ”

"I think we didn't have any advantage back then, but now we are holding each other's noses, and the strong midfield advantage is fully played."

"Zheng Zhi and Li Yin are too stable in the middle lane, and the two of them are also quite tacit, and they frequently cross and change positions."

In the 7th minute, the Chinese team created a killing opportunity. Li Yin successfully counter-grabbed on the right side, after five or six short passes penetrated, and then Zheng Zhi gave Wu Chengying on the left, Wu Chengying passed a low flat ball, but unfortunately Yang Chen did not eat the part of the ball in the middle and failed to open the record first.

Although there was no goal, the whole attack was very organized, showing the offensive thinking of the Chinese team in this game.

Zheng Zhi's role on the court was also immediately highlighted, with the core, it was much easier for everyone to kick the ball than in the first two games.

Sure enough, two minutes later, Zheng Zhi instigated an attack again and gave the ball to Sun Jihai on the right, Sun Jihai suddenly put a long pass over the top on the right side, Li Ming quickly inserted into the small penalty area, very lightly picked and buttoned, flashed out of the shooting gap and then took up his left foot to shoot vigorously at close range, the ball bounced into the opponent's No. 4 body, and entered the net in response, opening the record for the Chinese team!

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Li Ming, Li Ming's shot is refracted into the net."

"Oh, a dream start, with Zheng Zhi is different, the game has become much easier."

In just the 9th minute of the opening game, the Chinese team took the lead.

"Have you noticed that the Chinese team has scored a lot of goals in this tournament? It's not just the forwards, the midfielders basically score. This Chinese team is really strong, I really hope they work hard to reach the 2002 World Cup finals, and then show their heroics. ”

Qatar didn't even get a foothold, so they conceded the goal. This is not the same Chinese team they met three years ago.

But there are still a lot of familiar figures in this team......

After taking the lead, the Chinese team's formation shrank back a little, which gave Qatar a little room to attack. Of course, this is deliberately left to them by the Chinese team, just to let them attack, and the Chinese team can better play defensive counterattacks.

And Qu Peng is the most important person in this counterattack.

In the 15th minute, the counterattack was almost completed, Li Yin and Zheng Zhi closed the door in front of the big penalty area and stole the ball, and Zheng Zhi then immediately sent a long pass over the top!

Qu Pine rushed to the ball like a civet cat, and as long as he unloaded the ball, he could form a single knife. However, the opposing central defender Al Asri directly pulled down Qu Peng.

It's just that the referee didn't send Alkasri off with a red card, but chose to give a yellow card.

"This is a yellow card?"

"This is a yellow card? Oh my God, the referee was deliberately merciful, and he could have been sent off with a red card. Qu Pine's removal of the ball is a single knife! It's really too much, and it's too much care for the West Asian team, right? ”

Huang Jianxiang was quite dissatisfied.

"But in the Asian Cup in West Asia, it's normal for the referees to favor them."

He is also self-aware......

But

Soon he turned from sorrow to joy.

Because, Zheng Zhi's direct free kick hit the goal, rewriting the score to 2:0. In the set-piece in the left corner of the penalty area, Zheng Zhi directly blasted the ball to the near corner with the elevator ball, and although the Qatari goalkeeper saved the ball, he was still powerless to prevent the ball from running into the goal.

"Aha!"

"It's not that I don't report it! The time has not yet come! ”
