Chapter 258: Thinking of a Good General in a National Disaster

Although he was one goal behind, Perrin did not make personnel changes at half-time.

In this game, Perrin mainly started with players who can run well, mainly to use the fighting spirit to deal with Qatar's home advantage.

I have to say that the players did a good job of executing the manager's intentions, and although they conceded a goal, they still fought positively.

However, the blind scramble did not control it, making it difficult for the Chinese team to control the situation even if they grabbed the ball.

The midfield is controlled by Zheng Zhi, a veteran, but the problem is that Zheng Zhi's defensive task is not light, after all, the task given to him by Perrin also requires him to actively fight.

The only person who can not actively fight is Gao Zheng, Gao Zheng has such a privilege, he only needs to wait for his teammates to send the football to the front.

It's a pity that the Chinese team, which can't even control the midfield, can give Gao Zheng a good opportunity?

Therefore, in the first half, Gao Zheng had few chances to threaten Qatar's goal.

Although this is also related to Qatar's focus on his defense, the main thing is the lack of opportunities.

Pei Lan asked him to wait in front, but many times Gao Zheng couldn't stay at all, so he could only come back to answer. But after answering, there was no one in front of him, and Gao Zheng was not the kind of player with outstanding speed, who could run half the stadium with the ball alone to threaten Qatar's goal.

So in the first half, Gao Zheng didn't have much chance to perform.

At halftime, Perrin still asked the Chinese team to strengthen the scramble, and he even asked the Chinese team to set the premise of the formation, and strive to use the pressing of the midfield to interfere with Qatar's ball strategy and create opportunities for Gao Zheng.

After the start of the second half, the players of the Chinese team did what the head coach requested.

But the result was that there were more gaps in the backline, which allowed Qatar to take advantage of it to counterattack, and the Chinese team was in danger in front of the goal.

In this way, the Chinese team did not dare to press on the rush anymore, so Gao Zheng in the front court could not get the ball again, so he could only retreat again to respond.

But even if he came back and got the ball, his teammates' forward insertions were always not timely enough, and he couldn't protect the ball all the time in the opponent's encirclement, and he was not the kind of person the Great Emperor.

If his teammates can't plug in in time, even if he controls the ball for the first time, he will be quickly broken, or he will pass it out in a hurry, which will not help the Chinese team's attack.

Gao Zheng was also quite helpless.

I have to say that with his development in Europe, there are indeed very few people in this Chinese team who can keep up with his rhythm, and there is only one Zheng Zhi at present, who can barely keep up. But Zheng Zhi is old after all, his body is going downhill, and Zheng Zhi's task in the midfield is very heavy, in addition to organizing the attack, he is also responsible for defense, the distance between him and Gao Zheng is very long, and he can't help Gao Zheng.

But in fact, there is another person, that is Wu Lei. However, Wu Lei sat on the bench in this game, and could only watch the game anxiously, but he couldn't help much.

To be honest, Pei Lan put Wu Lei on the bench in this game, which many people couldn't understand.

Of course, Perrin can explain that it is an away game against Qatar, the scene is difficult, and players who are good at fighting and can defend actively are needed, while Wu Lei is really not active enough in defense. It's enough to have a Gao Zheng who doesn't defend actively, and then a Wu Lei, both of whom don't defend much, isn't the Chinese team equivalent to nine to eleven when defending?

But now that the score is already behind, why don't you let Wu Lei play?

You must know that Wu Lei has been in excellent form in the Chinese Super League this season, and there are still three rounds left in the Chinese Super League, and he has now scored sixteen league goals.

Temporarily ranked second in the Super League scorer list, only two goals away from the top-ranked Aloisio.

Now everyone is particularly optimistic that Wu Lei can break the monopoly of foreign aid on the scorer list and become the golden boot of the Chinese Super League in the real sense.

In the past, Wu Lei was at most a local top scorer.

And this local top scorer is actually an award designed entirely to take care of local Chinese players. If you go to other national leagues, how can there be two Golden Boot awards, one is the serious Golden Boot Award, and the other is the local Golden Boot Award.

The La Liga league, where Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo take turns to dominate the list, did not say that there would be another "local Golden Boot award", and only Spanish players could win the award.

This local top scorer is not so much an award as a disguised "humiliation".

Of course, Wu Lei's form this season is also very surprising, you must know that he only scored 12 goals last season.

And now with three rounds left in the league, he has a good chance of competing with Aloisio for the top scorer, the real Golden Boot.

Now Perrin is not using the best striker in the local league who has scored many goals in the Chinese Super League, and putting him on the bench, and everyone has a lot of complaints about Perrin.

"I think Wu Lei should be allowed to play at this time!" He Ping said this directly when explaining.

The TV broadcast also focused the camera on Wu Lei, who is obviously a person who can change the situation on the field.

※※※

Leading Qatar made the first substitution in the 62nd minute, and it was clear that they were not satisfied with just a one-goal lead, and the score was indeed not very safe......

Their offensive is getting more and more fierce, and the Chinese fans in front of the TV are worried.

From the first World Cup qualifier, they were worried about the state of the Chinese team. As a result, in the face of the only strong opponent of the Chinese team in this group, the Chinese team played so embarrassed, although this has a certain relationship with their away games, but it is still difficult for everyone to accept, after all, the Chinese team has Gao Zheng!

By the way, what about Gao Zheng?

During this period of competition, Gao Zheng had a lot of opportunities to appear, but he didn't play very well, which had a lot to do with his lonely palm.

The fans are still very considerate of Gao Zheng, and they don't think that the difficulties the team is encountering now are Gao Zheng's problems, everyone says on the Internet that "only a tiger is hard to beat a pack of wolves", and it is not possible to rely on Gao Zheng completely, and Gao Zheng is also powerful and sometimes has failed to catch it...... Yunyun's.

Everyone is a good fan and understands Gao Zheng's difficulties very well.

At this time, everyone scolded everyone else.

In short, even if this game is really unfortunately lost, it is by no means Gao Zheng's responsibility.

Fans and public opinion are really tolerant of Gao Zheng.

But Gao Zheng may not want such tolerance.

※※※

At the 70th minute, Wu Lei was finally called up from the bench by the assistant coach to warm up.

Seeing this scene, He Ping's tone was a little inspired: "It's long overdue!" ”

When Wu Lei ran to the sidelines to warm up, the Chinese team launched an attack.

In the process of launching this attack, like the previous attacks of the Chinese team, there is nothing to be expected. Chinese fans sighed in front of the TV, feeling that this was another headless fly-like attack, completely directionless, and hitting wherever it went.

They were right.

When the Chinese team wanted to find a breakthrough on the side but couldn't break through, they could only helplessly pass the football back.

Zhang Linpeng followed up and passed the football directly to the Qatari goal at a 45-degree angle.

It's the kind of passing that doesn't have any idea or purpose, and I don't know what to do anyway, so I just send the football to the goal.

Whether or not it actually helps the team score goals is a big deal.

Zhang Linpeng was called "Chinese Ramos" when he first debuted, because his playing style and appearance were also like Ramos, but then Zhang Linpeng's development was a little disappointing.

Now he is playing football more and more without using his brain.

Seeing his pass, I don't know how many Chinese fans in front of the TV were scolding their mothers: "What's the hurry!?" ”

Sure enough, his cross didn't pose much of a threat, because it was too high for anyone to grab the point, and just crossed the Qatar goalkeeper and flew out of the box.

Almost when it was almost on the line of the big penalty area, the ball was finally stopped by Gao Zheng.

"Look, look, Gao Zheng didn't go to the door to grab a point, just because he knew that this ball would definitely be useless!" In front of the TV, there were Chinese fans who were angry.

At the same time, they were also glad in their hearts, fortunately this ball was received by Gao Zheng, otherwise it would be another quick counterattack......

When Gao Zheng received the ball on the line of the big penalty area at the back point, there were as many as three Qatari players in front of him, and they formed an inverted triangle, two in front and one in the back, and Gao Zheng was waiting for him. But they didn't dare to rush up to grab the ball, and they were still a little afraid of this superstar in European football.

Everyone knows that this big man of 1.9 meters has very good skills at his feet, and maybe he has just been given his feet.

So there was such a slightly weird scene in the Qatari penalty area - Gao Zheng stepped on the football and did not move, and the three Qatari players in front of him did not move at all, and the other players of the Chinese team either raised their hands in the penalty area to ask for the ball, or put on the edge behind Gao Zheng, but the area around Gao Zheng seemed to be immobilized.

In this weirdness, Gao Zheng, who was stepping on the football, suddenly picked up the football!

His movement was very fast, completely beyond the expectations of the three Qatari players defending in front, and none of the three jumped up or rushed up to block. They just looked up and turned to watch the ball fly towards the ...... behind them Back corner of the goal!

Qatari goalkeeper Amin saw Gao Zheng kicking up, and he thought he was going to cross, and others were in front, so he was ready to save.

As a result, he watched the football fly behind him...... What is that place? That's the back corner of the goal!

Startled, Amin hurriedly retreated and jumped, while stretching his arms as straight as he could, trying to lift the football out.

But he didn't touch the football......

The ball went past him, drew a parabola, and crashed into the far corner of the goal behind Amin!

"Gao Zheng is going to pass ......" When He Ping saw Gao Zheng get up, he also thought that Gao Zheng was going to cross, but the words were shouted to his mouth, only to find that the situation was wrong, the ball was actually going to the back corner of the goal!

Next, not only He Ping, but also all the Chinese fans in front of the TV, as well as all the Qatari fans who were at the scene, watched as the falling football passed through the crossbar of the goal and the junction of the far post, and then fell into the goal......
