Sun Xingmin was indeed looking at Gao Zheng who was interacting with the fans in the distance with a very complicated mood and eyes at this time.

He held back his strength before this game and wanted to compete with Gao Zheng.

He knows what South Korea thinks about this game, although he denies the "revenge" on his mouth, but he really wants to find Gao Zheng for revenge.

He felt he was in very good form today and he had a strong feeling that he could score in this game.

But the first half was almost over and his goal didn't come.

But Gao Zheng has already scored twice.

In order to curb Atletico Madrid's aggressive attack, Bayer Leverkusen used a very crazy foul tactic in this game: so far, Atletico Madrid, who are known for their tough style of play, has only committed one foul, while Bayer Leverkusen has committed nine fouls, and four of these nine fouls have been used on Gao Zheng, for which Sparšić also received a yellow card and will miss the next game - if there is another one.

Under such a high-intensity defense of Leverkusen, Gao Zheng still completed two goals, ignoring Leverkusen's defense.

What about yourself?

Of course, he has also been targeted by the Atletico Madrid defenders, after all, he is the only arrow man in Leverkusen's attack right now.

But Atletico Madrid didn't have a single foul on him, and he couldn't score.

This disparity is highly judged.

When Gao Zheng celebrated his goal, Sun Xingmin was particularly disappointed.

He seemed to see that there was a huge gap between himself and Gao Zheng, which was difficult to cross.

Anyone facing this huge gap in strength will be timid, thinking, "Forget it, why bother to find yourself unhappy?" ”

Sun Xingmin almost had such a thought in his heart, but he quickly strangled this thought completely in his heart.

South Korean player Son Heung-min is a man who does not admit defeat.

He and his compatriots were sent to the Hamburg club in Germany for training, but they did not understand the language, ate and were homesick from home...... All of this became a difficulty that prevented them from gaining a foothold in Germany.

Several of his teammates left one after another, and in the end he was the only one who stayed and managed to establish himself in Hamburg.

Just because he is a person who does not admit defeat, for him, those difficulties exist objectively, and they are indeed great difficulties.

For ordinary people, these difficulties can be a reason for them to give up, which is reasonable, and no one will criticize them.

But Sun Xingmin was unwilling to bow to these difficulties and admit defeat.

He worked hard to improve his language and change his habits so that he was closer to the real Germans, both physically and mentally, and living in Germany was like living in Korea.

On the pitch, he focused on training and used better performances to win the approval of his German coach and team-mates, so that they no longer looked at him with prejudice.

Eventually, he carved out a niche of his own in Germany.

He also became the representative of Korean football after Park Ji-sung.

All he has to do is surpass his predecessors Park Ji-sung, Cha Beom-geun and others to become a world-class Korean player.

It was at this time that he met Gao Zheng.

Sun Xingmin seems to have returned to the situation when he first came to Germany, with huge difficulties in front of him, whether to surrender and admit defeat, or to grit his teeth and die?

Sun Xingmin chose the latter.

Gao Zheng is indeed very good, which has been fully verified in the Asian Cup, not only against South Korea, but in the entire Asian Cup, he is the player with the most goals, and his goals are far higher than the second place in the scorer list. So much so that although the Chinese team did not win the championship, the final Asian Cup Best Player Award was awarded to him, and there was no controversy at all, even the host Australian media did not complain for their Cahill.

Gao Zheng has become a super-first-class star in Asian football, and he occupies a single gear.

In front of him, it seems that he is not enough to see the "top Korean star".

But in the face of such a strong opponent, Son Xingmin suddenly found the motivation to continue fighting.

He wants to defeat Gao Zheng and surpass Gao Zheng.

When he really does it, seniors like Park Ji-sung and Cha Beom-geun will naturally be surpassed by him......

He raised his head again, his eyes shining with determination.

The first half is about to end, in the second half, in the second half, he will let Gao Zheng see his consciousness!

The commentators and guest commentators of Korean TV are now super embarrassed.

Because they were still bragging about Sun Xingmin before, they had to say that the unfavorable situation was favorable to Sun Xingmin.

When Atletico Madrid pressed hard, it was when Bayer Leverkusen counterattacked.

Atletico Madrid did press hard, but Bayer Leverkusen had no chance of counter-attacking at all.

And Sun Xingmin didn't have time to score, but Gao Zheng scored twice.

Faced with such a situation, the two Koreans didn't know what to say for a while, so there was an embarrassing silence for nearly ten seconds in the TV broadcast watched by Korean fans.

After the silence, they could only push the pot to Leverkusen's defense: "How can you let Gao Zheng shoot when the middle is almost unmarked?" How can you be so unserious! ”

There is a kind of reproach in the tone for Leverkusen's "hatred of iron does not make steel", and it seems that Leverkusen is dragging their family Sun Xingmin back.

At half-time, Bayer Leverkusen coach Schmidt was encouraging his players.

It was supposed to be leading on aggregate, but now it has become behind, which will hit the players a little bit. And the team's tactic is to play defensive counterattack, but now the score is behind, how to play defensive counterattack?

The players will surely be shaken by the fact that they will continue to carry out the manager's tactics.

Schmidt had to make tactical adjustments while also giving his players confidence in the tactics again.

The defensive counterattack will definitely not be able to continue to play, and if it continues to play like this, Bayer Leverkusen will definitely be eliminated.

So you have to be bold and choose more adventurous tactics.

Although he no longer plays defensive counter-attacks, Son Heung-min will still be the main firepower of Bayer Leverkusen's attack.

Schmidt had high hopes for Son Heung-min.

"Your speed is the best weapon to break through their defence, and if you have the opportunity in the second half, you will resolutely step forward!"

Sun Xingmin nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, coach!" I won't let you down! ”

Schmidt was pleased with Son's attitude, telling the players: "We are one goal behind, but please remember that we are playing away from home, and as long as we can score a goal, we can take the initiative back into our own hands!" So it's not time to give up yet! We've got a full forty-five minutes! ”

Meanwhile, in the dressing room at Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone was cheering his team: "Don't take it lightly! We were only one goal ahead on aggregate, and if they scored a goal in the second half, our advantage would be gone! So don't settle for a two-goal lead in the first half, keep up in the second half and we're going to score more! Don't worry they're going to score, don't worry they're going to score away! The way to win the game is simple, that is, to score more goals than them!! ”
