After Gao Zheng equalized, the morale of the Chinese team was greatly boosted, and after the game began, it was like the goal of the South Korean team launched a fierce offensive.

But the South Korean team didn't want to be beaten on the ground by the Chinese team as everyone thought, and they didn't even have the power to fight back.

On the contrary, in the face of the fierce offensive of the Chinese team, the South Korean team showed a very tenacious and tough performance, on the one hand, against the fierce offensive of the Chinese team, on the other hand, their counterattack was also sharp and fast.

Because they have a very fast Sun Xingmin in the formation, he has a strong ability to fight alone.

In many cases, the South Korean team only needs to kick the football forward to find Son Heung-min, and the rest is for Son Heung-min to do it himself.

He alone can stir up the unrest of the Chinese team's defense.

Of course, on the other side, Gao Zheng alone also made the South Korean team's defense line like a big enemy, before they let Gao Zheng score a goal with a single negligence, and now no matter when, there are people around him to follow, not letting him take the ball easily.

As the minutes ticked by, it seemed that the end of the 90-minute game was very close.

The commentators from both countries started talking about overtime.

Perrin now has a substitution spot on hand, and his delay in making substitutions may be in preparation for extra time.

In the 88th minute, the Chinese team pressed the attack, but Wu Xi made a mistake when he passed forward.

Football was cut off by the South Korean team!

"Danger!"

In He Ping's exclamation, the South Korean team once again directly made a long pass to Sun Xingmin in front.

After Sun Xingmin received the ball, he directly faced Jiang Zhipeng, the last defender of the Chinese team, as long as he could pass Jiang Zhipeng, he would face the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Wang Xiaolei.

Jiang Zhipeng saw Sun Xingmin dribbling the ball towards him, and reason told him that he should be fouled here, but when he thought that the foul might be sent off and miss the next game, Jiang Zhipeng hesitated.

And this hesitation just gave Sun Xingmin an opportunity to take advantage of, and he changed direction and swept past Jiang Zhipeng.

Jiang Zhipeng's hand reached halfway and lifted it up, but he couldn't pull Sun Xingmin's jersey.

Son Heung-min passed by him like the wind......

"Foul!!" Xu Yang, who was in the commentary seat, shouted when he saw this scene, and when he heard his voice, he couldn't wait to jump down and foul Jiang Zhipeng instead.

At this time, you should definitely foul at the first time and end the South Korean team's counterattack here, without thinking about your own gains and losses.

But it's too late to say that.

"Zheng Zhi is still chasing!" He Ping shouted.

When Jiang Zhipeng let Sun Xingmin go, Zheng Zhi chased after him from behind, and followed Sun Xingmin to rush past Jiang Zhipeng.

The next moment, when Sun Xingmin walked the football to the Chinese team's penalty area, and he himself was about to hit the top of the penalty arc, Zheng Zhi, who was behind him, finally seized the opportunity of Sun Xingmin's slight slowdown when he stepped on the ball and narrowed the distance between the two people.

The captain of the Chinese national team then reached out and grabbed Son on the shoulder, while kicking his foot into Sun's swinging right leg without hesitation.

Son Heung-min, who was sprinting at high speed, suddenly lost his balance, and although he tried to maintain it, he waved his hands desperately, but he was unable to resist inertia and gravity, and fell headlong to the ground, completely losing control of the football.

And the football was hugged by Wang Xiaolei, who attacked.

Wang Xiaolei picked up the football and kicked the football directly to the front court, as if he wanted the Chinese team to fight back directly, but his move was interrupted by the referee's shrill whistle.

"Alas——!" He Ping sighed in the commentary seat, he already knew what was going to happen next.

Zheng Zhi kicked Son Heung-min from behind when he was sure he couldn't break the ball, which was indeed a foul.

After Sun Xingmin fell to the ground, he jumped up again like a spring on his body, and roared at Zheng Zhi very angrily.

He knew that Zheng Zhi's foul this time would definitely make Zheng Zhi receive a red card and be sent off. But he didn't want this result, he would rather Zheng Zhi not kick himself at all, because he wanted a single knife and a goal.

Now this goal of his was brutally broken by Zheng Zhi's foul.

Even if the referee gives Zheng Zhi ten red cards and the AFC suspends Zheng Zhi for 100 games, it can't offset the unwillingness and anger that this good chance to score was interrupted by Zheng Zhi and brought to Sun Xingmin.

Faced with Sun Xingmin's anger, Zheng Zhi got up from the ground with an expressionless face, and then turned around and walked to the front. He didn't look up at the referee who was next to him, or at the red card he was holding.

What will happen to him is clear when he decides to foul.

What he had to do now was not to waste time.

He trotted up and ran all the way to the front court, then took off the captain's armband on his arm and said to Gao Zheng: "Come, stretch out your hand." ”

Then he tied the captain's armband to Gao Zheng's arm.

After doing this, he didn't speak, turned around and trotted to the sidelines.

Gao Zheng looked at his back and was silent, and then he looked down at the captain's armband.

Unexpectedly, he served as the captain of the national team for the first time, and it was on such an occasion......

※※※

Zheng Zhi was sent off with a red card...... There is no doubt about that. That foul of his, for sure, earned him a red card. Zheng Zhi used the red card as a price in exchange for the Chinese team's goal and did not concede a goal for the time being. But in this way, even if the Chinese team can advance to the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, Zheng Zhi will be absent because of this......" He Ping sighed. "This is the last contribution that the captain of the Chinese team can make for his team!"

On the Korean commentary seat not far away, the Korean TV commentator shouted: "It's just a little bit!" Sun Xingmin will be able to break in, and when Zheng Zhi fouls again, it will be a penalty! And now, although South Korea got a free kick opportunity very close to the goal and at a good angle, it was still worth the loss! Zheng Zhi's bad foul should be added to the suspension! ”

"Don't worry about the stop-and-don't stop. I hope that the South Korean team can seize the opportunity of this free kick and kick the football into the goal of the Chinese team! We all know why Zheng Zhi wants to foul, then use the goal to make his foul meaningless! The Korean commentator gritted his teeth next to him and said.

"It's not the first time he's made such a bad foul. On the eve of the 2006 World Cup, when the French team was warming up with the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi tackled the leg of French striker Cisse in the game, causing the opponent to miss the World Cup, and the subsequent career was all changed. I'm not surprised that this wicked man would do such a thing, but for him to be punished, a red card alone is not enough! Only by letting him know that the South Korean team, which he tried desperately to foul to stop, still scored a goal, can he hit him from the root! ”

Seeing that Son Heung-min was about to score, but was directly put to the ground by Zheng Zhi, no supporter of the Korean team could accept such a thing.

In the stands, South Korean fans booed Zheng Zhi as he was leaving the stadium, and some fans gestured their middle fingers to Zheng Zhi.

But their boos were quickly overpowered by the singing of the Chinese fans.

Perhaps in the eyes of South Koreans, Zheng Zhi is a heinous villain, but in the eyes of Chinese fans, this is their hero!

He sacrificed himself to reserve the opportunity for the Chinese team to counterattack, so that the Chinese team could still stand on the court alive.

He didn't even think about whether he could play in the next game, he just wanted the Chinese team to play in the next game.

Singing and applause resounded over Brisbane Stadium.

Every Chinese fan in the stands was singing at the top of their lungs, so that the South Koreans could not make their voices at all.

In the midst of singing and applause, Zheng Zhi took a picture of the field, and Pei Lan was waiting for him at the entrance of the player's tunnel, and when he saw him coming, he stretched out his hand to high-five him.

But neither of them spoke, and after the high-five, Zheng Zhi ran into the players' tunnel with his head down, but he did not walk directly back to the locker room, but was in the passage, looking out of the field.

He was waiting for the final result.

※※※

Son Heung-min was still roaring at the referee, as if sending Zheng Zhi's red card was not enough to satisfy him.

On the other side, Jiang Zhipeng, the defender of the Chinese team, was blaming himself: "If I could have committed a decisive foul just now...... Even if I get a red card, it's better than letting the captain go down......"

Wu Xi patted his head: "Don't think about it so much, concentrate on the game, don't lose the ball first, otherwise the captain's red card will be eaten in vain?" ”

Wang Xiaolei stood in front of the door and greeted his teammates: "Row people wall, row people wall!" This ball must be held! ”

Gao Zheng, who is 1.9 meters tall and the tallest in the team, also returned to the front of the penalty area from the front court and stood in the human wall.

Just like Wu Xi said, don't think too much about it first, and definitely can't let the South Korean team use this free kick to score!

※※※

After the Chinese team lined up the human wall, the South Korean team was also ready to take the free kick.

Son Xingmin still looked a little angry, and did not come to take the free kick, but ambushed in the penalty area, ready to shoot.

He was taking deep breaths, as if adjusting his emotions.

As a striker, you must not allow yourself to fall into anger, which would lose the ability to judge calmly in front of goal.

Referee Williams blew the whistle and Ji Chengyong kicked the free kick towards the goal.

Gao Zheng and his teammates around him jumped up and blocked the ball with their bodies.

With a bang, the football didn't know whose body it hit, and it made a muffled sound.

There are also people shouting: "Grab the second drop point!" ”

There was chaos at the edge of the Chinese team's penalty area.

In the confusion, it is not known who kicked the football to the front court, and the alarm was lifted.

Zheng Zhi used the red card as a price to renew the life of the Chinese team and saved it.
