Chapter Forty-Eight: The Red Sea Surges
As long as there is a game with Gao Zheng, the TV broadcaster will definitely have at least one camera lens that is always aimed at Gao Zheng, just to shoot Gao Zheng's various game details.
Now in this shot, there is a sense of disconnection.
Because outside this camera, all the Chinese players and Uzbek players are desperately rushing forward, and everyone is doing their best to participate in the game.
Only Gao Zheng's painting style is completely different from others.
He was also running forward, but not at all fast, and it was obvious at a glance that he was not sprinting with all his might.
This kind of situation is very out of place with the surroundings, but no one pays attention to him, because football is still in other places, and it will be a big problem not to stare at football at this time.
It's just that the players in Uzbekistan didn't expect that if they didn't stare at Gao Zheng, there would be big problems......
The Chinese team's quick counterattack was blocked when it hit the side, and Deng Xuwen slowed down.
Uzbek fans also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that their defense had finally worked, forcing the Chinese team's counterattack to slow down, and after the defenders in the penalty area were all in position, it would be difficult for the Chinese team to score.
As a result, this thought has not dissipated in my mind......
I saw Gao Zheng suddenly appear in an unmarked position and opened his hand.
At this time, other Uzbek players also spotted him, but it was too late, and they rushed up and didn't have time to stop Gao Zheng from shooting.
The rest is for everyone to know.
After a series of indiscriminate bombardment of the Chinese team's goal, Uzbekistan went from being one goal behind to two goals behind.
"Gao Zheng's ball...... Ha! After watching the replay of the whole process of the goal of the shot nailed to Gao Zheng's body, He Ping couldn't help laughing, because this scene was too incompatible with the tense atmosphere of the game at that time.
"I have the feeling that he just finished eating, and then he went out for a walk and scored the ball by the way."
It should be a life-and-death battle related to the Chinese team's ability to qualify for the World Cup, but he behaved very leisurely and calmly.
He really deserves to be a person with a big heart......
He Ping's words amused the Chinese fans in front of the TV, they used to patronize and be happy for the goal, and now when they think about it, they feel that He Ping's words are really in place!
What is the meaning of "talking and laughing and disappearing"?
That's it!
It's better to run fast than to run well, and it's better to come early than to come smart.
Gao Zheng ran to a good position so coincidentally, and then scored.
This goal gave the Chinese team a two-goal lead over Uzbekistan, and also made the fans of the Chinese team have the intention to joke on the Internet, so all kinds of jokes on the Internet flew together, and it became a carnival for Chinese fans.
A one-goal lead is not safe, but what about a two-goal lead?
What, you say a two-goal lead is not safe?
Chinese fans are not afraid, because they know that Gao Zheng is there!
A two-goal lead is not safe, so a three-goal lead, what's a big deal?
※※※
Before the end of the first half, Gao Zheng's brace helped the Chinese team take a two-goal lead.
Although Uzbekistan continued to strengthen its offensive in the second half, the Chinese team, which had a two-goal lead in hand, played calmly.
This is their home stadium, with nearly 50,000 live spectators and hundreds of millions of Chinese fans behind them, and Gao Zheng pressing on the field, what are they afraid of?
Although the Chinese team did not score again in the second half, they did not let Uzbekistan score either.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the cheers at the Wuhan Sports Center reached its climax.
In fact, before this, the cheers were already deafening and endless.
After entering injury time, there were basically no Chinese fans in the stands who could still sit and watch the game, and they all stood up, cheering and singing.
Because they know very well that such a little time is simply not enough for Uzbekistan to chase two goals in a row......
The most important thing is that Gao Zheng is still on the court!
Can he watch Uzbekistan arrogant and indifferent in front of him?
So the minutes of stoppage time passed smoothly.
Uzbekistan struggled until the very end, but they were not very lucky, and on a few occasions they came close to scoring and failed to score.
In the end, they had no choice but to accept the result.
They need not be too disappointed, though, as their fate is still in their own hands, as they can still qualify for the World Cup by beating South Korea at home five days later, and by then they will have 15 points, surpassing South Korea with 14 points and finishing second in the group.
And the situation of the Chinese team is not so bad.
Because the South Korean team was held to a draw by Iran at home, they now have 14 points.
If Uzbekistan beats South Korea at home and China beats Qatar away in the final round of the group stage, then China and South Korea will have the same number of points. Comparing goal difference with the same number of points, the Chinese team now has two goal difference, while the South Korean team has a negative goal difference.
As long as the South Korean team loses to Uzbekistan and the Chinese team is the winner, then the Chinese team's goal difference will definitely still be more than that of the South Korean team, so that the Chinese team will squeeze out the South Korean team with the advantage of goal difference and qualify for the World Cup play-offs.
Of course, if South Korea and Uzbekistan do not separate the winner and draw, as long as the Chinese team wins, they can also qualify for the play-offs, but the squeezed out is replaced by Uzbekistan.
Therefore, winning Uzbekistan at home is really crucial for the Chinese team.
After this game, everything suddenly became brighter.
Of course, Syria must also be taken into account, but the match between Syria and Qatar has not been played yet, so I don't know what the outcome of that match will be now, what if Qatar wins? If Qatar wins, the Chinese team will not have to think about the situation in Syria. But if Syria wins, the situation in the final round will be much more complicated......
※※※
After the game, the players of the Chinese team collectively went around the field to thank every fan who came to the scene to support them.
When they go to a place, that place remembers a loud cheer.
Then the song began.
It's "Singing the Motherland", and this song has almost become a must-sing song for Chinese fans after the team wins.
Not only the fans were there, but also the players in the Chinese team were singing along with their songs.
Chen Guanghua in the stands sang: "The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the victory song is so loud!" Looking at the surging and rolling red wave in the stands in front of him, he couldn't help but burst into tears of excitement when he thought that this red was paved by their volunteers in eight hours.
They sowed red hope before the race, and now after the race, they really won the red as they wanted.
Eight hours of hard work was worth it!
Be sure to call your friends for a drink tonight, and you won't get drunk!
Then brag to them at the wine table, and tell them that this victory also has a share of his Chen Guanghua's credit!
