Chapter 25: Kick the game to the end
In the TV broadcast footage, the man ran slowly to the foul site with a shallow smile, and Gao Zheng did not speak, nor did he make any gestures, and even the expression on his face did not change.
It's just such a simple jogging action, but the TV broadcast keeps giving this close-up.
Because the TV broadcasters are well aware that this man has the ability to score from a free kick.
The commentator of South Korean TV is saying about this shot: "When the two sides met in the first leg, Gao Zheng scored a free kick in the game!" β
His voice trembled slightly, and there was an implicit blame for the foul player in his tone.
But in the situation at that time, if there was no foul, how could Wu Lei be stopped?
Maybe the South Korean commentator thinks that it doesn't matter if he lets Wu Lei in, because with Wu Lei's previous performance, he can't score this single goal.
But the South Korean players didn't dare to bet on this probability at the time, and they used fouls to complete the defense, preventing Wu Lei from breaking through to form a single knife, but also giving up a free kick opportunity facing the goal to Gao Zheng.
The South Korean commentator didn't mention the first leg of the game, and the Korean fans in front of the TV suddenly recalled the experience that frightened them at the beginning - in the case of leading by three goals, Gao Zheng scored two goals in a very short period of time, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and it was unstoppable when he saw it, and the three points in his hand could become one point, or even zero points......
Before Park Changji fouled, many Korean fans were desperate in their hearts.
If they can lose by three goals in a game, they really don't believe that there is a safe score in the world.

Gao Zheng walked to the foul place, Wu Lei had already gotten up from the ground, and he stuffed the football into Gao Zheng's arms: "Give!" β
Gao Zheng created a great opportunity for him, but in the end he returned it to Gao Zheng in this way.
Gao Zheng smiled at him, took the football, and still bent over to place it, completely indifferent to the situation around him.
The fouled South Korean players also seemed to be aware of the seriousness of the problem, and they also tried to argue to the referee that they were not fouled, just a reasonable shutdown defense, and Wu Lei faked a fall.
Anyway, in their mouths, as long as any Chinese player dares to fall to the ground, it is a fake fall.
But the referee didn't listen to their nonsense and raised his hand to wave them away.
The South Korean players who returned to the defense could only run helplessly to build a human wall.
At the same time, it is hoped that the scene of the first leg between the two sides will not be repeated, this free kick is only four minutes after Gao Zheng's last goal.
South Korea's goalkeeper Kwon Soon-tae was very nervous, and then loudly instructed his teammates to build a wall on the goal line, and some teammates did not hear clearly and understood what he meant, and he would yell at his teammates.
He was in a hurry.
He doesn't want to be a supporting role and background board for Gao Zheng like his teammate Zheng Chenglong......
β»β»β»
The human wall has finally been erected.
Gao Zheng had already set up the football, and he aimed the football valve core at himself, which was the hardest part of the football, which was convenient for him to exert his strength.
Then he took a few steps back, ready to run.
The Helong Stadium, which had been noisy, gradually quieted down, and before the referee blew the whistle, it could even be described as "silent".
It's a huge stadium, but it's so quiet, it's exaggerated and weird to say.
But this scene really happened, everyone stared at Gao Zheng, they didn't care about making a sound at all, they could even slow down their breathing.
It seems that I am afraid that the loud breathing will affect the flight trajectory of the football.
In such a quiet environment, the referee blew the whistle in his mouth.
Then Gao Zheng began to run, swinging his right foot outward, and hit the football.
The soccer ball soared into the air, drawing a very obvious arc in the air, bypassing the wall of the Korean team that jumped one after another.
The strongly rotating soccer ball rubs against the air in the air, changing its trajectory.
After drawing a clear arc, he turned from the direction of the corner flag area at the beginning to the top right corner of the goal!
That's where the human wall is responsible for plugging in, but it's clear that the human wall isn't working.
And goalkeeper Kwon Soon-tae is too far away from that corner......
Even if he pounced as soon as he saw the ball coming around behind the wall, it was still too late because he couldn't pounce that far......
The next suspense is whether the football will hit the goalframe.
There were a lot of free-kicks that did really well in the early stages, but when they came to goal, they were either high, deflected or hit the woodwork.
But Gao Zheng's free kick did not appear in this bloody plot, and the football behind the human wall turned an arc and drilled into the goal from the bottom edge of the goal crossbar!
It was as if the Helong Stadium had exploded, cheers roared, and the stadium stands shook like an earthquake.

"Ahh The Korean TV announcer held his head in his hands and roared to the sky. "Exactly the same! Same!! Gao Zheng scored two goals in a short period of time, and the Chinese team is now leading by two goals! β
The Korean fans in front of the TV looked at the screen with some disillusionment.
Didn't you say before the game that Gao Zheng was likely to not be able to play?
Didn't those reporters and media say that even if Gao Zheng played, it would be difficult for him to play a role in his current state?
Doesn't it mean that even Chinese fans are not optimistic about Gao Zhen's performance after he played?
So why?
Why was he still able to come on and score two goals?!
β»β»β»
"Gao Zheng! Kick! Signature Free Kick Score!! It's amazing!! He Ping raised his arms and shouted. Unbelievable! Ladies and gentlemen, can you believe what you are seeing in front of you in the first game after returning from a six-month injury?! I can't believe it! AndγAnd...... And! β
And this goal is four minutes after Gao Zheng's last goal! Does this scene sound familiar? In the game two hundred and three days ago, Gao Zheng also scored two goals in three minutes to help the Chinese team tie the score to 2:3...... If Gao Zheng hadn't been injured in that game, what would have been the final result? If he doesn't get hurt, what will be the result of the top 12 Chinese team after that? β
The more He Ping spoke, the more excited he became.
"Two hundred and three days ago, Gao Zheng's first match of the top 12 came to an abrupt end at the eighty-fourth minute, and now, he wants to finish this game! He's going to finish the game he hasn't had time to play! This is the best comeback! It's as if there was never a gap of six months, three weeks and one day, as if that game hadn't been played yet! Gao Zheng has never ended! β
I don't know how many Chinese fans in front of the TV were moved to tears by He Ping's roar.
They didn't expect Gao Zheng to do exactly the same thing as before he was injured after he returned from injury.
More than six months ago, everyone regarded him as a savior, hoping that he could save the Chinese team away from home.
But Park Changji's shameless ruthlessness shattered everyone's dreams and aspirations.
They thought that after more than six months, Gao Zheng would be able to re-enter the top 12 arena and it would be a great victory.
Who knew that Gao Zheng even wanted to replicate his own performance in that game!
He never forgot that fight, he never let go of that defeat.
That's his way of revenge!
Injuries can't stop him, nearly seven long months can't stop him, what he didn't finish at the beginning, he has to do today anyway!
