The penalty was saved and two goals conceded, which was a devastating blow to Saudi Arabia's morale.

Next, their midfielder Mustafa Bassas was stretchered off the field due to injury.

At this point, although the game is not over yet, the game has entered garbage time.

Perrin made frequent substitutions, but his substitutions had little tactical adjustment, mainly to allow more players to play to feel the atmosphere of the Asian Cup, and also to prepare for the next match against Uzbekistan.

Gao Zheng was substituted in the 84th minute of the game.

After replacing Gao Zheng, the Chinese team defended with all their might.

They managed to withstand Saudi Arabia's late pounce and held the score 2-0 until the end of the match.

When referee Fagani blew the whistle at the end of the game, He Ping shouted: "At the end of the game, the P country team won the 2015 Asian Cup, and went through some twists and turns in the game, but in the end they still withstood the test!" Gao Zheng is a well-deserved sorrow. However, the rest of the Chinese team also performed better than we expected, this team is very young, but there is no stage fright! ”

"I hope that the drunkards of the Chinese team will make persistent efforts and face Uzbekistan, the strongest opponent in the next game, don't be scared and give it a go!" Xu Yang also sent his blessings. "We've broken the record of never winning against Saudi Arabia in the Asian Cup, so why can't we break another record?!"

All the players of the Chinese team who won the game collectively went around Chenzhou to thank the fans who came from afar to support them.

Chinese fans responded with a chorus, singing about the motherland in the sky above the foreign land.

This made many Chinese reporters who were covering the game quite emotional - how long has it been since they have seen such a harmonious scene between Chinese players and fans?

In the past, the image of Chinese football was no different from that of rats crossing the street, and the uniform scolding of Chinese fans used to be a common scene on the Chinese football field.

Although the game is over, the argument between the two sides around the game after the game continues.

Gao Zheng talked about the penalty in an interview: "I don't know if it was a penalty or not, I was lying on the ground and I couldn't open my painful eyes, so I'm sorry I didn't see the situation in our penalty area at that time." But I'm sure they shoveled me, it must have been a foul, why didn't the referee award it? You'll have to ask the referee. ”

Saudi Arabia coach Kosmin Olaroyo was unconvinced: "We were unlucky, we got a penalty and we missed it – I think that's the main reason why we lost. Because obviously, after the penalty was missed, the mentality of our players was affected and the morale of the Chinese team was very high. ”

He felt that if that penalty had been taken, it would have been difficult to say what the outcome would have been.

As for the foul on Gao Zheng by captain Carriri, he avoided talking about it: "I don't know what happened at the time, that place was a little far away from me, and I didn't see anything." But since the referee didn't think it was a foul, it wasn't a foul. At all times, I respect the referee's decision. ”

The Saudi Arabian media exploded in their collective mentality after the loss.

In addition to slamming Hazzaz for living up to the title of "China's nemesis", they also sent mockery to the winning Chinese team.

"Congratulations to the Chinese team for winning the 18 years of our chieftaincy!"

"Congratulations to the Chinese team for beating Saudi Arabia for the first time in the Asian Cup!"

It's congratulations, but everyone knows what it means.

They don't have anything good to say about Gao Zheng, they call Gao Zheng a "fake wrestler" and "liar", and the media starts from copycat goods and the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, and gives fans in Saudi Arabia a tradition of "fake" and "cheating" in China, so it is normal for Gao Zheng to fake a fall as China's biggest star.

Later, after the Chinese team's training, a reporter interviewed Gao Zheng and asked what he thought about the Saudi Arabian coach's opinion that as long as they could score a penalty, the Chinese team would not win.

Gao Zheng waved his hand: "Impossible⊥ even if Saudi Arabia scores this penalty, they won't win because of me." ”

The Chinese reporters who heard Gao Zheng laughed.

After knowing Gao Zheng's temper, everyone likes to see Gao Zheng so positive. Because Gao Zheng really has this strength, he is full of confidence when he says these words, no one will think that Gao Zheng is bragging, people are really awesome!

As for the luck of the Saudi Arabian coach, Gao Zheng sees it this way: "I don't agree with those who say that we won by luck, and I can understand that the Saudi Arabian coach said this, he may be trying to shirk the responsibility for losing." But I see some Chinese saying the same thing, even some former professional players saying it, and I can't understand why they say that. Because anyone who says that Saudi Arabia didn't score a penalty is our luck, it is an insult to our goalkeeper Wang Yan, did he save the penalty by luck? We had penalty practice all the time before the first game, was it just for the knockout stage? If you say that it is luck not to score a penalty, why not say that it is our goalkeeper who is awesome? ”

After this game, some former internationals did say that the Chinese team won the game by luck, Gao Zheng said this today, probably offended those former internationals, but he definitely didn't care, what to say, others felt good or not, he didn't care.

He only knows that as a member of the team, he must justify his teammates and perform well in the game, blocking the opponent's shot many times, and saving a penalty.

Sure enough, after Gao Zheng's remarks were spread, Wang Yan also thanked Gao Zheng in the dressing room, thanking him for speaking up and speaking for himself.

Because the people who say this are Wang Yan's predecessors, former international players, and their career achievements are much higher than him, so even if they are not happy, Wang Yan is not easy to say. He is already a player with a more prominent personality in Chinese football, but who says that among the people who say this, there is a famous name in the club he is in now? So he can only hold it in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng stood up and helped him out.

Gao Zheng waved his hand: "What's polite, I'm just telling the truth." You're just that! ”

Zheng Zhi next to him took all this into his eyes.

Wu Lei knew Gao Zheng's emotions, but in the game, when Gao Zheng was injured, it was Wu Lei who cared about Gao Zheng the most.

And now, Wang Yan also sincerely thanked Gao Zheng.

He's winning hearts and minds on this team.

Gao Zheng is indeed arrogant, but he has never posed in front of his teammates.

Zheng Zhi felt that this was really rare for a young player who was not yet 24 years old, especially for a young Chinese player.

I left the team that day, and I finally don't have to worry about no one being able to lead the team forward.
