After today's training, Gao Zheng participated in the warm-up match against Palestine with the team.

Unlike the previous warm-up games, Peilan's frequent change of starting lineup, this time Peilan's starting lineup is considered by the domestic media to be the main force with practical significance - if nothing else, this lineup should be the main lineup of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.

Even if there is a write position to be adjusted, it is still a fine-tuning, and it will not adjust the entire main frame.

For example, Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi partner to play double backs, this combination should be fixed.

Everyone is most concerned about the arrangement of the attacking lineup.

Gao Zheng must be the main force that can't be beaten, so who will partner with him?

The answer given by Pei Lan was that Gao Zheng was at the front as a center forward, and Wu Lei was ambushed behind him as a shadow striker. Gao Lin sat on the bench.

In this game, the warm-up opponent of the Chinese team, Palestine, also entered the main match of this Asian Cup, which is the first time in their history to participate in the Asian Cup.

So they took this warm-up match with the Chinese team very seriously, which was completely different from the Thai team.

After the opening, Palestine played very proactively, and did not shrink their defense because they were weaker than the Chinese team.

However, they did not last long like this, after all, there is still a gap in strength.

The Chinese team gradually regained the initiative through frontcourt pressing.

China took the lead in the 24th minute, when Gao Zheng assisted Wu Lei to break the deadlock.

Watching the two people hug each other to celebrate the goal made many Chinese fans in front of the TV very embarrassed.

I want the two of them to debut one after the other, and win the praise and expectations of fans one after the other. Wu Lei first became the youngest player to play in the league in Chinese football, and Gao Zheng then shined in the AC Milan junior team.

At that time, everyone was looking forward to seeing these two talented teenagers fighting side by side in the national team and leading the Chinese team to the World Cup finals.

Even if the two of them are compared to each other, it is because of deep love, and I hope that the two of them can form a partner.

It's just that I didn't expect that Gao Zheng's serious injury disappeared, and the cooperation between the two of them came so many years late - it wasn't until 2013 that Gao Zheng was selected for the national team for the first time, and he became a teammate of the national team with Wu Lei and wore the same jersey.

This will be the first time they have joined forces in an international competition.

The once highly anticipated Golden Boy group has only now been formed. Think about it, if Gao Zheng hadn't been injured at the beginning, maybe in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Chinese football would no longer be just a spectator......

After scoring a goal, the Chinese team completely took the initiative in the first half, and they continued to attack the Palestinian defense. And the Palestinians have mostly fallen into the offside trap even if they occasionally counterattacked.

However, the Chinese team did not take advantage of the victory to chase and strive to score more goals and win a big victory.

For the Chinese team, this last warm-up game, even if it is 10:0, it is meaningless, and using the opponent to test the effect of various tactical combinations is the way to maximize benefits.

According to Perran's pre-match arrangement, the Chinese team after taking the lead consciously reduced their reliance on Gao Zheng's shooting, and let Gao Zheng transform into a playmaker, after attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, he passed the football more to his teammates and let them shoot and score.

I have to say that this kind of transformation is not too high a requirement for Gao Zheng, and the tests are all on his teammates' side.

Gao Zheng created a lot of opportunities for his teammates, but his teammates failed to take them.

Seeing that the Chinese team had not scored again for a long time, commentator Duan Xin raised his question: "Except for Gao Zheng, what about the others?" I think the Chinese team still can't rely too much on Gao Zheng. It can't be that once Gao Zheng is stared at to death, our attack will be at a stalemate, right? The thunder was loud and the rain was small, and it looked like there were a lot of attacks, but there were few dangerous shots on goal. Palestine are not a strong team, they are ranked 113th in FIFA. And every team we have faced in the Asian Cup is better than them, so I think Perrin needs to solve that well......"

By the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, and the Chinese team was only one goal ahead.

In the second half, the Chinese team continued to play like this, with Gao Zheng attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, and then passing the football to his teammates.

But not everyone can run to the right position, and not everyone can grasp the opportunity that Gao Zheng created for them.

Wu Lei was able to run to the position, but his kick at the door was really miserable.

Zheng Zhi can play with Gao Zheng, but after all, he is a back waist, so he can't attack frequently, right?

As a result, the match between the Chinese team and Palestine has become a collection of various wasted opportunities for the national team, which reminds people of the game when the Chinese team faced Saudi Arabia at home in the Asian Cup qualifiers.

In that game, Gao Zheng was forced to change his role because he was restrained by Saudi Arabia, from an offensive finisher to a playmaker, passing the ball for his teammates.

But as a result, a group of international players presented a "collection of spit cakes" for everyone, that is, they did not eat the cakes that Gao Zheng fed to his mouth.

In the end, it was Gao Zheng who went into battle in person and broke the deadlock with a supplementary shot.

At that time, the head coach of the Chinese team was still the interim coach Fu Bo, and now it seems that although the head coach has changed, the foreign coach Peilan has not been able to fundamentally solve this problem.

When there were sporadic boos in the stands, Perrin made tactical adjustments, no longer letting Gao Zheng make the ball for his teammates, but putting Gao Zheng back in the main attack direction.

Even if Palestine strictly defends Gao Zheng, it must use Gao Zheng's personal ability to tear through the Palestinian defense.

After adjusting the tactics, the effect was immediate.

Gao Zheng became active again, and even if Palestine used two people to defend him, he suddenly found it difficult.

In the sixty-seventh minute, Gao Zheng finally scored in this game.

The scene was thunderous, and the sporadic boos disappeared.

The pressure that had been lingering above the heads of many Chinese players was suddenly swept away, which made the international players feel refreshed.

Gao Zheng's goal not only gave China a two-goal lead in the scoreline, but also liberated the international players and helped them relieve the pressure.

The rest of the Chinese team was obviously better because they were more relaxed.

In the end, before the end of the game, substitute Gao Lin used a header to lock the score at 3:0 for the Chinese team.

The Chinese team ended all their 2014 matches with a resounding victory and will next depart for Australia to prepare for the Asian Cup.

Although the process in the middle was a bit tortuous, it caused dissatisfaction among the fans. But the end result is good, and everyone is less concerned.

There is a saying that is very true in the world of football: "What ends well is good." ”

As long as you can win, nothing is a problem.

As for the weakness of other players, this is not the first time, Chinese fans have long been used to it, and they did not expect Gao Zheng to lead the whole team to break through to the realm of Super Saiyan.

The biggest highlight of this Asian Cup was Gao Zheng's personal performance.

Gao Zheng was in good shape in the warm-up game before the Asian Cup, although he was tired and tossed back from Madrid, but looking at his performance in the game, there was no sense of fatigue, the movements were smooth and natural, the shooting was accurate and powerful, and the mind was clear...... What kind of bicycle does this performance need?
