Chapter 42 Fighting Kuwait will be reversed

Fans across the country are very concerned about Gao Zheng's return to participate in the national team competition.

For this reason, there are many more people in Anshan, where this game is held, and many hotel rooms in the city are nervous, you must know that this is not the National Day Golden Week.

These people came from all over the country just to watch Gao Zheng play.

The poor performance of the Chinese team in the previous games made them pin their hopes on Gao Zheng, and they hoped that Gao Zheng's return could bring immediate changes to the Chinese team.

However, to the disappointment of these people, Gao Zheng, who was very popular, did not appear in the starting lineup of the Chinese team against the Kuwait team.

He sat on the bench!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I think head coach Perrin may have taken into account that Gao Zheng had just rushed back from Madrid, tired all the way, and his physical condition might not be the best, so he let Gao Zheng sit on the bench......" commentator Liu Hong guessed. He wasn't surprised when he got the starting line-up, but he was disappointed.

He can understand the hard work of Gao Zheng coming back from a long flight, but he still hopes that Gao Zheng can play the first line.

Not only the commentator Liu Hong was disappointed, but also the fans who watched the TV broadcast across the country and those who rushed to Anshan for this game were also disappointed.

The TV broadcast frequently focused on Gao Zheng who was sitting on the bench, he was wrapped in a cotton jacket, sitting on the bench with his teammates, his expression was as usual, and he couldn't see anything unusual at all.

The camera was on manager Perrin again.

The French coach had a serious expression and watched the game intently.

In this game, Peilan adjusted the lineup of the Chinese team, changed to 343, did not play Gao Zheng on the front line, but chose another high school striker Yang Xu, and formed a forward combination with Gao Lin and Wu Lei.

I have to say that after the previous three warm-up games, the Chinese team's performance in the first half of this game was still good, and everyone created a lot of opportunities in the face of Kuwait, which was not strong.

But it has been unscored.

In the 35th minute, the Chinese team also won a penalty, but the penalty taken by Gao Lin, who wore the captain's armband in this game, was saved by Kuwait goalkeeper Alkadi.

After this penalty, the Chinese fans in the stands finally couldn't sit still, and they began to chant: "Change Gao Zheng!" ”

But in the midst of such a call, Perrin remained unmoved, and his expression was calm.

Liu Hong teased: "The stadium sounded the shouts of changing Gao Zheng, but Pei Lan was unmoved. Of course, this is a very assertive manager who will not change his mind easily. For example, he did not recruit Zheng Zhi for three consecutive periods, which seems to be because Zheng Zhi is too old...... But at present, there is really no one in the domestic midfield who can beat Zheng Zhi's ......"

In fact, if you don't score a penalty, forget it, the Chinese team will always be able to score so many opportunities.

As a result, at the end of the first half, Kuwait won a corner, and it was with this corner kick that they scored with a header, which in turn broke the goal of the Chinese team!

"Oops! The Chinese team leaked when defending! Liu Hong shouted regretfully. The Chinese team conceded a goal at the end of the first half! It's terrible......"

The boos in the stands and the shouts of "change Gao Zheng" became louder.

The TV broadcast cut the camera to Gao Zheng when the Kuwaiti players were celebrating, and found that he and his teammates hugged their heads regretfully after the Chinese team lost the goal.

As for Perrin, this time his face finally became not very good-looking.

He seemed to realize that if he didn't replace Gao Zheng, he was afraid that things would become unmanageable.

So at halftime, Gao Zheng did not stay on the court like other substitutes, and was warmed up by the assistant coach, but followed the starters back to the locker room.

Reporters and spectators at the scene noticed this and became excited.

"Gao Zheng is going to play!" The news quickly spread throughout the Anshan Olympic Sports Center.

In the locker room, after criticizing the performance of the players, Perrin made substitution adjustments, and he replaced Yang Xu with Gao Zheng.

And when Gao Zheng knew that he was about to be replaced, his expression was very calm and calm.

It's just that in Pei Lan's eyes, Gao Zheng's calmness and calmness seem to reflect a certain kind of fearlessness, which makes Pei Lan think a little too much - could he have been thinking about watching me make a fool of himself for a long time?

But Perrin quickly pushed the thought out of his mind, which was too naΓ―ve.

Judging from the contact between him and Gao Zheng in the past few days, Gao Zheng is still a very good person to contact.

β€»β€»β€»

Because the substitution was made at halftime, Yang Xu didn't play at all after the start of the second half, and Gao Zheng had replaced him on the field.

The fourth official held up a sign on the sidelines and told the fans and the TV broadcast: The Chinese team made a substitution, No. 9 Gao Zheng came on the field, and No. 27 Yang Xu went down.

The fans who saw this scene let out a huge cheer, and they finally saw the scene they had been waiting for.

In fact, this kind of cheering was a hurt to Yang Xu, who was replaced, but at this time, no one cared about his thoughts, even the CCTV commentator, Liu Hong said: "Gao Zheng is on the field!" The whole tone became different, and the voice was an octave higher, which made people feel refreshed.

I'm afraid Yang Xu won't have any ideas, and even if he does, no one cares......

There's no way, who called the person who substituted him to play was Gao Zheng.

Although Gao Zheng is very young, in terms of his achievements in football, everyone in this national team is not as good as him. The reason why the Chinese team can prepare for the Asian Cup now is entirely because of Gao Zheng, otherwise it is difficult to say whether the Chinese team can enter the Asian Cup finals.

Gao Zheng's change on the field was very immediate, in the 53rd minute, Wu Xi crossed after breaking through the right rib of the penalty area, Gao Zheng leaned on the Kuwaiti central defender with his body in the penalty area, and then turned and volleyed, and the football drilled between the legs of Kuwaiti goalkeeper Arkadi and ran into the goal!

"Gao Zheng! The ball is in! Pretty! He equalized for the Chinese team! It can be seen that Gao Zheng's physical condition is very good, and there is no sign of fatigue during the journey. The shot just now, he was leaning on Kuwaiti defender Ali to complete, and when he was in a physical confrontation with the opposing defender, he was not at all behind! ”

The Olympic Sports Center in Anshan finally erupted in the biggest cheers of the game.

Some fans pointed to Perlan, who was also celebrating the goal, and shouted: "Wouldn't it be over if Gao Zheng started early!" ”

β€»β€»β€»

After the goal, Gao Zheng smiled and hugged his teammates to celebrate the goal, he was not very excited personally, but his teammates were very excited.

His goal sounded the horn of the Chinese team's counterattack.

The main thing is that he gave the Chinese team a clear direction when attacking in the front court, and knew who to pass the football to - if you don't know who to pass it to, then pass it to Gao Zheng, yes!

In the 64th minute, it was Gao Zheng who received a cross from teammate Feng Xiaoting in the penalty area and shot at the goal, Kuwait goalkeeper Arkadi got out of his hand in the process of saving, giving Yu Hanchao, who had just come on as a substitute, a chance to make up for it, Yu Hanchao volleyed sideways, and the football flew into the Kuwaiti goal again.

2:1, the Chinese team overtook the score!

Although it was not Gao Zheng's goal this time, I'm afraid no one will think that this goal has nothing to do with Gao Zheng.

However, just when the Chinese team was ready to win by a big score at home, Ren Xing was sent off with a red card for pulling a Kuwaiti player in a defense and receiving his second yellow card in this game.

The Chinese team, which had one less player, suddenly became passive, while Kuwait was in high spirits and planned to equalize.

The fans of the Chinese team who watched it during this time were terrified - although it was a warm-up match and a friendly match, no one wanted to watch a defeat.

Fortunately, this time the Chinese team withstood Kuwait's fierce offensive and gradually seized the initiative after the 85th minute.

In the ninetieth minute, Gao Zheng sent a long pass after retreating, helping Wu Lei to play a quick counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Wu Lei quickly rushed to the Kuwaiti penalty area, passed a defender, and then shot the football into Kuwait's goal, completely killing the game.

In the end, the Chinese team reversed Kuwait with a score of 3:1 at home, which was also the second victory after Perrin coached the Chinese team, with two wins in five games......
