Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eighty-Four Minutes Later
After Gao Zheng responded to the fans' calls on the spot, Stillik reacted immediately, and he strengthened the South Korean team's defense with substitution adjustments.
However, this time he didn't replace Park Changji, because he was afraid that this guy with no fighting spirit would ruin his own affairs.
Strengthening the defense even after falling behind by two goals is an out-and-out trick in normal times.
But now Stillik has nothing else to do.
In terms of the current momentum of the two teams, if Stillick does not do this, the South Korean team may concede another goal. If Gao Zheng really completed the hat trick, it would be a shame for his coaching career.
It is also a great shame for South Korean football - South Korean football has only lost 0:3 to the Chinese team once, but that was in the East Asian semi-finals, which is now the East Asian Cup. At that time, the South Korean team did not recall all the foreign players, and was nicknamed the "Korean second team" by Korean fans. Taking this game as an example, the Koreans themselves will not admit it, and the Chinese fans may also be a little lacking in confidence.
But if you are beaten 0:3 by the Chinese team in the top 12 matches representing the highest level of Asian football, there will be no excuses.
In this game, the South Korean team recalled Son Heung-min, and it can be said that he was the strongest lineup.
If this can be cut by the Chinese team 0:3, isn't it a shame?
So now Stillik doesn't think about whether he can win this kind of thing, he just wants his team to lose less, at least it must not be a 0:3, and he must not let Gao Zheng score the third goal.
Otherwise, what would others think of him?
Gao Zheng gave a notice that he was going to complete the hat trick in this game, and you really let him complete the hat trick, are you stupid or lack of ability?
Stupidity means that you have a problem with your brain, and lack of ability means that you are a weak chicken.
Whatever the outcome is, it's not a good thing.
※※※
The South Korean team also adjusted their tactics, they used defensive counter-attacks, and left a Son Heung-min in the front court to play a counterattack if he had the opportunity.
Heavy troops were deployed in the backfield to guard Gao Zheng to the death.
This game is more like a contest between the South Korean team and Gao Zheng.
"What a shame on the stick!" Xiao Yingying scolded in the box.
Feng Shiyu couldn't cry or laugh: "Doesn't this mean that he is powerful?" Being able to play against a team on one ......"
"That being said, I would rather the handsome guy complete his hat-trick." Xiao Yingying pouted.
If the South Korean team did this after Gao Zheng completed his hat trick, she might have complacently posted on Weibo or Moments: "One person against a team, the handsome guy is awesome (broken sound)!" ”
But now......
※※※
Ms. Xiao's worries are also those of other Chinese fans.
I don't know how many people on the Internet are cordially greeting the eighteenth generation ancestors of the stick......
But their scolding and scolding could not help Gao Zheng change this situation.
When the Korean TV commentator saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "What did you do earlier?" If we had played like this a long time ago, how could we have allowed Gao Zheng to score two goals?! ”
At this time, he automatically ignored that if the South Korean team dared to play like this with a score of 0:0, it is estimated that he would be the first person to jump out and scold Stillik.
This is no different from a naked surrender, just ask the enemy to win a few fewer goals......
When did Korean football suffer such grievances?
After tonight, South Korean football could become the laughing stock of Asian football......
※※※
Despite being strongly blocked and encircled by the South Korean team, Gao Zheng did not change his goal.
When he said in front of so many people that he wanted to score three goals, he said that he wanted to score three goals, and he said that he wanted to complete a hat-trick was to complete a hat-trick.
One less goal counts him as a loss!
Don't look at the South Korean team defending him, but in fact, they are also very difficult to defend.
Because they all know that Gao Zheng has the ability to score a free kick, the players of the South Korean team did not dare to be ruthless when defending Gao Zheng, and did not dare to foul, for fear of giving Gao Zheng a chance to take a free kick.
Even considering Gao Zheng's reputation as a "good fake fall" in their minds, they had to be careful when they even made physical contact with Gao Zheng, for fear that Gao Zheng would take the opportunity to howl miserably and fall down thirty meters away from the goal......
Especially after Gao Zheng was seriously injured in the match with them, as long as he played against them, the referee would definitely pay special attention.
This is still the home stadium of the Chinese team, and the referee may blow every physical contact between the Korean player and Gao Zheng in the spirit of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go......
It is necessary to guard against Gao Zheng, and at the same time, not to leave a handle for Gao Zheng, and not to foul Gao Zheng, which is a little too difficult for the players of the Korean team.
After only a few minutes, many South Korean players involved in the defense gasped for breath.
You must know that Korean players have always prided themselves on their physical fitness......
They can only continue to cheer themselves up in their hearts, believing that Gao Zheng is also struggling under their defense, and he who has just returned from injury will not be able to hold on for long in such a high-intensity game, and will collapse before them......

"It's the eighty-fourth minute......" He Ping suddenly said in the game commentary.
Although at this time, the TV screen did not show the statistics of both sides or anything.
Generally speaking, this is done in whole time, and most of the commentators report the time at this time, especially the 80-minute mark, to remind the audience that there are only ten minutes left in the game.
But He Ping still remembered this time and kept paying attention, so he could notify the audience when this time came as soon as possible.
In the eighty-fourth minute, the last time the Chinese team played the South Korean team, it was at this time that Gao Zheng was plotted by Park Changji and left the field with a serious injury, staying away from the court for as many as two hundred and three days.
In the eighty-fourth minute, the first top 12 match in Gao Zheng's life stopped at this time.
Eighty-four minutes later, in the top 12 match, Gao Zheng hasn't played yet.
Today, eighty-four minutes later, Gao Zheng is still running on the court.
And the two hundred and three days they missed in the middle were as if they didn't exist at all.
When many people heard He Ping's words, they had a feeling of being separated from the world.
But luckily, he's back, and he's still doing so well.
On the field, the Chinese team attacked again, they launched an attack with a long pass directly from the backfield, and after the football was pushed back by the South Korean team, the second landing point was still on the side of the Chinese team, captain Zheng Zhi stopped the football forward with his chest, and shook a South Korean player who came up to pounce on him, which caused cheers from the Chinese fans in the stands.
After Gao Zheng came on the field, it seemed that every player of the Chinese team had found his soul, and the more he played, the better he played.
Zheng Zhi's consecutive stops were very exciting, and he caught the South Korean defenders off guard.
Then he passed the football to Gao Zheng, who was on the side.
Before the football fell to Gao Zheng's feet, the stands were already thunderous.
Chinese fans will always have simple expectations for Gao Zheng.
They believe that as long as Gao Zheng receives the ball, those feet can give birth to flowers.
