"Oops, this ball is a big pass...... Wu Lei came back! There's still a chance! Gao Zheng! Pretty! There is a chance in the middle of the lane...... Wu Xi! Wu Xi! The ball is in——!!! ”

With the passionate roar of the commentator He Ping, the Brisbane Stadium once again resounded with huge cheers.

This game, like the previous one, was dominated by Chinese fans.

They have once again turned this place into the home of the Chinese team.

"This ball works beautifully! Wu Lei desperately grabbed the point at the back point to save the ball that was passed big, and then Gao Zheng used an unconventional action...... The 'Mandarin Duck Crutch', which is similar to martial arts, passed the football to Wu Xi...... Although Gao Zheng was strictly guarded by Uzbekistan in this game, he still managed to complete two assists. I think in a way, it's even more remarkable than his brace! He Ping gushed. We all know that Gao Zheng is the team's scoring guarantee, so the opponents will definitely find a way to limit Gao Zheng, but their defense of Gao Zheng will inevitably cause a reduction in the defensive intensity of other Chinese players, and other Chinese players will get opportunities, as long as they can seize the ...... These two goals in this game prove that our other players also have the ability to score, which is more gratifying than relying on Gao Zheng alone! ”

"That's right!" Xu Yang said. "On the other hand, when our opponents find out that even if they defend Gao Zheng, other Chinese players can score, their defensive intensity against Gao Zheng will be reduced, because they can't really leave anyone else alone. In this way, Gao Zheng also has a chance to score. It's a virtuous circle......"

"Yes, if we beat Saudi Arabia 2:0 in the last game, relying on Gao Zheng's personal ability, if we can beat Uzbekistan in this game, it depends on the strength of the team, and Gao Zheng is just a member of this team......"

After the goal, Wu Xi got up and ran to the sidelines excitedly, for him, this goal has a very special meaning.

Because the Asian Youth Championship six years ago was the closest Chinese national youth team to the World Youth Championships after the 2005 World Youth Championships. At that time, they only had to beat Uzbekistan to qualify for the World Junior Championships.

They are just one penalty shoot-out away from that goal.

When the opponent asked a defender to come in as a guest in goalkeeper, they thought they had won.

Outcome......

The past is unbearable, but it will always become a thorn in Wu Xi's heart, and he just missed the opportunity to appear on the world-class stage.

Now they are facing Uzbekistan again, and the guy who saved their penalty is still in the team, but the level is no longer in the youth team.

To be able to score this goal is like breaking his demons.

From then on, he can no longer worry about the Asian Youth Championships.

He turned the page on it with wild celebrations.

He lifted his clothes and almost took them off in excitement, but fortunately he remembered in time that he was going to get a yellow card for undressing to celebrate. So he hurriedly put down his clothes again.

The rest of his teammates rushed up to celebrate with Wu Xi.

Wu Lei and Gao Zheng, who were dragging behind, high-fived, and then the two ran to Wu Xi side by side.

"Pretty top!" Gao Zheng gave Wu Lei a thumbs up.

Wu Lei replied with a smile: "Your foot is more beautiful." ”

"Blind, blind." Gao Zheng waved his hand.

Wu Lei was surprised: "You can also rely on luck?" ”

"How fresh? Of course, I also have to rely on good luck. I just knew that I was going to kick the football in the middle, and I didn't think there was someone behind me...... This ball can only be said to be Wu Xi's beautiful run. Gao Zheng said very sincerely, and did not deliberately elevate himself, saying that he had already seen Wu Xi's running, so he used a subtle move to pass the football over.

Wu Lei couldn't help laughing when he saw Gao Zheng say so frankly that he was relying on luck, this super genius in everyone's mouth also has a down-to-earth side.

After scoring consecutive goals, the Chinese team regained control of the situation and the possession rate also improved.

Uzbekistan made a change, with the head coach replacing captain Jeparov with Rasidov. Hopefully, they can recover their decline, after all, the Chinese team is only one goal ahead now, and as long as they work hard, they can still equalize the score.

Even if this game ends up in a draw, Uzbekistan still have hope of topping the group – as long as they beat Saudi Arabia in their final group game.

After the initial excitement, the commentators also began to worry about the Chinese team: "At this time, you must stay calm, handle the ball cleanly and decisively, and don't give Uzbekistan any chance." The line of defense should remain intact......"

Everyone knows that a one-goal lead is actually very dangerous, and the reversal of the situation is often instantaneous.

Uzbekistan tried to fight back, and their defense of Gao Zheng was not so tight.

And as He Ping and Xu Yang said before, the outstanding performance of other teammates of the Chinese team also caused the Uzbek players to be no longer as firm as before when defending Gao Zheng, thinking that as long as Gao Zheng's play is contained, the Chinese team will not be able to threaten their goal.

Now when other Chinese players get the ball, the first thing the Uzbek players think of is that the two goals conceded were not scored by Gao Zheng, so will they also be able to threaten our goal?

Once they have such thoughts, they have to devote their energy to defending other Chinese players, and the marking of Gao Zheng is naturally much more relaxed.

This is what Xu Yang and He Ping previously called a "virtuous circle".

After all, football is still an eleven-man team sport, not tennis singles. No matter how strong a person is, if his teammates are mud that can't support the wall, the role is still limited. To put it in an extreme way, the opponent can exclude four or five people to limit you, so that you can't get the ball at all, even if you can't get the ball, you can't control it, you can't pass, what's the use of being strong in personal ability?

Yes, there is no shortage of great chapters of individual heroism in football, but such chapters are so rare that they can be thrilled every time they appear.

More often than not, football relies on the whole.

That's why a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo performs in the club to block and kill God, but when he goes to the national team, he becomes very embarrassed. It was difficult to lead the team to the World Cup, and in the end, it was the play-off against Ibrahimovic's Sweden team that successfully entered the World Cup in Brazil. As a result, in the World Cup in Brazil, this Portugal team also failed to pass the group stage.

It is also worth mentioning that Ibrahimovic is also a player with outstanding individual ability, who has won numerous honors at the club, and has been imposing in all directions. As a result, his Sweden did not achieve any good results, and even did not get the right to participate in the World Cup finals.

This fully shows that a superstar may not be able to lead a mediocre national team to achieve good results.

On Gao Zheng, this set of principles also applies.

Therefore, the Chinese media and fans are full of expectations for Gao Zheng on the one hand, and they are worried about the prospects of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup. No matter how strong Gao Zheng is, he is just one person, even if he can be at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, but his national team is definitely not at the same level as Portugal and Sweden.

In the Asian Cup, because of the limited strength of the opponent, we can still rely on Gao Zheng to forcibly explode to ensure the results.

But what about the World Cup?

Everyone wants to see Gao Zheng lead the Chinese team to the World Cup.

However, the strength of the opponents in the World Cup is far from being comparable to the Asian Cup. Those strong teams that were majestic in the Asian Cup went to the World Cup, and they were no different from primary school students, and they were taught to be human beings one after another.

In this game against Uzbekistan, what the Chinese players have shown so far has made many people feel a little relieved, at least they are not parasites lying on Gao Zheng's body.

From 2015 to 2018, there are still more than two years to go, and everyone hopes that the rest of the Chinese team can use these two years to work hard to improve themselves.

Perhaps this is the greatest significance of the Asian Cup.

Seeing the gap, but also seeing hope.
