Chinese fans and South Korean fans are arguing on the Internet, and many people have learned to circumvent the wall because of this incident.

In distant Australia, however, it is peaceful.

Because the Chinese team still has a group stage to play.

In the third group stage, the Chinese team played against the North Korean team.

Gao Zheng did not appear in the starting lineup.

Perrin made a big rotation of the starters.

In fact, the match against the North Korean team can be regarded as a warm-up match for the quarterfinals, because the North and South Korean teams have a similar football style, and they are both tenacious teams. Some South Korean rival teams will also seek out North Korea to play warm-up matches.

As a result, the Chinese team did not need to deliberately arrange, and achieved this goal in the third round of the group stage.

The main players, including Gao Zheng, were substituted in order to give them a better rest.

On the other hand, it was a great opportunity to train the substitutes.

As soon as the game began, Sun Ke, who started for the first time in the Asian Cup, took the lead for the Chinese team. He scored just forty-four seconds into the game.

At that time, there was a mistake in the back line of the North Korean team, and when the defender returned to the goalkeeper, the force was too light, and Sun Ke, who was actively inserting forward, seized the opportunity and stabbed the ball into the goal of the North Korean team.

After having a very good start, the Chinese team gradually mastered the situation on the field, and even played a front-court offensive coordination that was exclaimed by the commentator as "Barcelona-style", but in the end, Yu Hai followed up a little slower in front of the goal and missed the opportunity to expand the score.

In the 42nd minute, the Chinese team finally scored again, and Sun Ke jumped to the top at the back point to expand the score to 2:0.

After taking a two-goal lead, everyone was relieved and felt that this game must have been won.

Unexpectedly, in the second half, the North Korean team rushed and struck violently, making full use of their tenacious style and good at fighting, and the players of the Chinese team were a little too busy to take care of themselves.

In the 55th minute, after a shot by the North Korean team was cleared by a Chinese player on the goal line, the football hit the back of Gao Lin, who was returning to the defense, and bounced into the net.

The Chinese team was chased back by North Korea.

The North Korean team, which pulled back a goal, was in high spirits and played more and more fiercely, while the Chinese team was a little flustered.

In the last game against Uzbekistan, everyone was still praising the other players of the Chinese team for their excellent performance after Gao Zheng was restrained. As a result, when Gao Zheng was not on the court in this game, the Chinese team had some original meaning.

At this time, everyone knew that the root cause of the performance of other players in the Chinese team was Gao Zheng's absence. If Gao Zheng is on the court, even if he is temporarily restrained by the opponent, he can provide help and support to other teammates, and the most important support comes from confidence - as long as Gao Zheng is still on the court, the other Chinese players will not panic, because they believe that Gao Zheng will always have a way to solve the difficulties.

But if Gao Zheng is not on the field, then what is the use of his outstanding ability?

In the face of the aggressive offensive of the North Korean team, the Chinese team played quite passively, and basically judged the two teams in the first half.

In fact, even if the Chinese team loses this game, it will not affect them to qualify as the first in the group.

However, before the match against South Korea, if they lose to their Korean brothers, North Korea, it will be a huge blow to morale and confidence.

Perrin could never accept such an outcome.

So in the 66th minute, he replaced Gao Lin with Gao Zheng, who scored an own goal.

Before Gao Zheng came on the field, in fact, the Chinese fans in the stands were already a little dissatisfied with the performance of the international players, after all, the first half played so well, but the second half was like a collective sleepwalk.

So when Gao Zheng came on the field, the Chinese fans in the stands erupted in a huge cheer.

It's like a savior has come.

For Chinese football, Gao Zheng really seems to be a savior......

After Gao Zheng came on the field, the situation on the field was quickly stabilized, and sure enough, Gao Zheng was on the field and not Gao Zheng was on the field, which gave the other players of the Chinese team a completely different feeling.

After re-questioning the situation, the Chinese team began to fight back.

And in the 82nd minute, Gao Zheng rarely put the football into the goal of the North Korean team with his head in the penalty area.

3:1, the Chinese team locked the win!

In the end, the score was maintained at halftime, and the Chinese team defeated North Korea to end their group stage campaign of this Asian Cup with three consecutive wins.

Despite the win, manager Perrin was not satisfied with his team's performance.

After the game, everyone returned to the locker room, and Perrin was furious and threw the tactical board.

"If you look at the performance in the second half, I can't believe it, this is the team that has won two in a row before?! What kind of shit is kicked? Did the previous two wins in a row make you both swell? Do you think you're invincible? Think you can win any way you play? Don't forget, you're the team that is going to fight the bayonets with South Korea! In this state, I think you are just waiting to become the defeat of the Koreans! ”

The players were scolded by Perrin so much that they didn't dare to look up.

After spending so much time with Perrin, it was the first time they had seen the elegant manager so angry.

After a while, Perrin slowed down and said, "I hope that the second half of this game will allow you to learn a lesson and wake you up. I think you all know more or less what the Korean media thinks about the upcoming match, and if you want to be the laughing stock of Koreans, then please go ahead. To put it mildly, I will definitely leave China in the future, and the ridicule of the Koreans will not hurt me. But you are different, you are Chinese, the ridicule and ridicule of Koreans will always be with you, this is a brand on you, you can't hide if you want to! ”

After that, he went out to have a press conference.

Leaving a room of silence for the players, the usually bustling locker room is like a morgue at this moment.

After a while, Zheng Zhi, the captain of the team, stood up: "The coach is right, we did make mistakes in this game. But it's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to make mistakes without knowing it. And now that we know we've made mistakes, the next thing is how to stop making mistakes. I believe that when you face South Korea, you will not face North Korea the same way you will face North Korea. I don't have to be mobilized to play the Korean team, I have no doubt about that. I hope that when the time comes, we will prove ourselves together on the pitch. ”

Gao Zheng also stood up and expressed his support to Zheng Zhi: "Team Zheng is right, life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you will do it!" ”
