Gao Zheng was also unanimously welcomed by his teammates in the national team.

At dinner, it was in the restaurant, and when Gao Zheng walked in, his teammates and coaches who were in the restaurant stood up one after another, looked at him, and applauded him.

Everyone was sending him a message – welcome back!

For today's Chinese team, Gao Zheng is very, very important.

Everyone is aware of this.

But in fact, before Gao Zheng was injured, this was not a consensus.

In the Asian Cup, the Chinese team played very well, and Gao Zheng was not the only player who played well, although Gao Zheng played a very important role in China in the Asian Cup, but other players were also very important.

But the round of 12 made it clear to everyone who is the boss of this team.

The so-called tide recedes before you know who is swimming naked.

This sentence is no exception for the Chinese team.

Before Gao Zheng was injured, everyone just felt that Gao Zheng was very important to the Chinese team. But Gao Zheng was injured, and everyone knew that Gao Zheng was so important to the Chinese team!

Without Gao Zheng, the Chinese team couldn't even score a goal.

The last time China scored in a match was in the first round of 12 on September 1 last year. Gao Zheng scored two goals in that game, and that was all the goals scored by the Chinese team in the round of 12 so far.

Without Gao Zheng, the Chinese team couldn't even score a goal......

After Gao Zheng was just injured, some media may have wanted to bring confidence to Chinese fans, and wrote an analysis that the situation was not as bad as everyone imagined.

After all, although we don't have Gao Zheng, we still have Wu Lei, a striker who is also at the La Liga level.

Playing Iran is again at home, as long as the tactics are correct and the players work together, it may not be impossible to beat Iran at home.

As a result, Wu Lei, who had high expectations, did not score in that game.

It's not that he didn't play well, but after the lack of Gao Zheng, no one attracted defensive firepower to Wu Lei, so he could only face all the opponent's defensive strength alone. And Wu Lei is not the kind of strong center forward who resists the opponent's defense head-on, he needs to pull out the space, he needs to run flexibly, once he is entangled by the opponent, the threat will drop significantly.

Without Gao Zheng, Wu Lei has become the target of public criticism, even if he has a high level, it is difficult for him to play.

The next home game against Syria dominated the whole game, but instead of scoring a goal, the opponent took advantage of the mistakes of our goalkeeper and defender to counterattack and score a goal. The three points that were not allowed to be won within the expected period flew away.

Playing Uzbekistan away from home, you can't score a goal.

After the change of head coach, the team's spirit was lifted, but when they faced Qatar at home in the plateau, they still couldn't score goals when they had the advantage.

Now everyone can see that the biggest problem restricting the performance of the Chinese team is the ability to score. If the Chinese team has enough scoring ability, even if it loses to Iran at home and Uzbekistan away from home, as long as it can win Syria and Qatar and get six points, the current situation will be much better.

The Chinese team, which lost Gao Zheng, also lost its ability to score.

Therefore, Gao Zheng is equal to scoring goals and scoring ability.

If Gao Zheng continues not to come back, the devil knows how long the Chinese team's collective goal drought will last.

Now that Gao Zheng has returned, he has given everyone great confidence, at least the goal is guaranteed.

Facing the enthusiasm of his teammates, Gao Zheng responded happily: "Thank you, I'm back again!" ”

Teammates rushed up to him, gathered around him, and cared about his situation.

After all, Atletico Madrid did not let him play, and everyone was worried about whether Gao Zheng would not be able to play yet.

His return was nothing more than a morale boost.

"I don't think there's a big problem with my physical condition, but I listen to the coach." Gao Zheng said to his teammates with a smile.

He gave his teammates confidence and gave Lippi face, and he didn't say anything to death, lest Lippi let him play as a substitute when he got it, causing his teammates to be cranky.

Hearing him say this, many people had smiles on their faces and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Gao Zheng said that there was no problem, that is, there was no problem.

Lippi and his coaching staff watched the scene from the sidelines, and assistant coach Madaloni sighed: "It's been a long time since I've seen such an atmosphere in the team. ”

"Because their backbone is back." Lippi laughed.

"Then you still let him play as a substitute, not afraid of making the players cranky?"

'It's a tactical need to put him on the bench. Lippi replied simply.

"Actually, I'm a little worried......" Madaloni said with a frown. He hasn't played in a competitive game since he was injured and I don't know how much it affected him. But I think he's definitely not doing as well as he did before the injury, like a car that's been overhauled isn't as good as a new car. ”

Lippi was silent on the assistant coach's point of view.

Because he doesn't know what condition Gao Zheng has recovered to now.

The reason why he insisted on letting Gao Zheng play was because of his trust in Gao Zheng on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was naturally because he had no choice but to let Gao Zheng play, could the Chinese team win against the South Korean team? It's hard, it's hard, it's very hard.

Gao Zheng's return to the national team is a top priority, and this night, the TV station and the Internet are all news related to this matter.

The picture of Gao Zheng being warmly welcomed by all the players of the national team was also played repeatedly.

It's all about giving the fans a little bit of confidence for the next game.

The South Korean team is indeed strong, and Gao Zheng is obviously not in his best form.

Chinese fans need confidence.

Next, Gao Zheng's first training session when he returned to the Chinese team was also a gathering of reporters, including many South Korean reporters.

South Korean reporters also want to see with their own eyes what Gao Zheng's current state of preparation is.

However, the Chinese team gave reporters 15 minutes to shoot publicly.

And in the past 15 minutes, the Chinese team has been warming up the whole time.

What can you tell from the warm-up?

Gao Zheng and his teammates ran laps on the field with laughter and laughter, and then did various stretching movements together, always with a smile on their faces, and what they said to their teammates, they could laugh at their teammates from time to time.

There is basically no valuable news, except for knowing Gao Zheng's mood and his teammates' good mood.

But the question is, what's the use of that?

As soon as the fifteen minutes were up, the Chinese and South Korean reporters were called out.

Lippi then led the players through tactical training.

It can be said that it is a race against time.

Because Gao Zheng had not worked with him before, this was the first time he had participated in the training of the country he coached.

Although Gao Zheng will not start in this game, it does not mean that Gao Zheng does not need to adapt to the tactical requirements of the current national team.

After a training session, Gao Zheng's performance made everyone feel happy.

At least in training, there is nothing wrong with his performance.

You can't even tell he's been hurt.

I don't hesitate to do the action when it's time to do it, and I don't care about the injured part at all.

Sometimes his teammates can't help but look at his knee where he has undergone surgery, but Gao Zheng is unaware.

"If we can perform like this in the game, then we have a good chance of winning this game!" Madaloni said excitedly to Lippi.

"Playing and training are completely different. But it's a good sign...... Lippi said.

He was tempted to light a cigar.
