There are Korean reporters who go to interview Sun Xingmin, and naturally there will be Chinese reporters who want him to talk about the showdown with Sun Xingmin.

Like Son Xingmin, Gao Zheng doesn't think the match has anything to do with the China-South Korea battle in the Asian Cup: "It's a club-to-club game, and it has nothing to do with anything else. We lost the first leg, so when we come back at home we will try to win and try to get to the quarter-finals. All my performances in the game are aimed at this. Son Heung-min? He's amazing...... It is a good thing for the whole Asian football to have high-level players in Asia, and the improvement of our level can also allow Asian football to win more say in the international arena, such as the World Cup quota ......"

Gao Zheng raised the topic to a higher level, completely ignoring what the reporters wanted him to talk about.

But unlike Sun Xingmin, who deliberately didn't talk about it and hid his true thoughts.

What Gao Zheng said was his true thoughts.

From the perspective of Asian football as a whole, it is indeed a good thing that China and South Korea have produced high-level players.

Although the South Korean team has been able to participate in the World Cup finals every time, it is difficult for them to reach the knockout stage. So far, they have only used their home advantage to reach the knockout stage in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. In previous World Cups, they all stopped at the group stage.

This kind of performance is really unreasonable, as the top representative of Asian football, he can't even break through the group stage in the World Cup, how can he benefit Asian football? In terms of the performance of Asian teams in the World Cup, how can they be embarrassed to compete with South America for more qualifying places?

Now that the South Korean team has Son Heung-min and the Chinese team has Gao Zheng, if the Chinese team can also enter the 2018 World Cup, can we expect the performance of the two teams in Russia at that time?

If they all play well, then of course it's good for Asian football as a whole.

In the Asian Cup, East Asian teams and West Asian teams can still fight bloodshed. But when we go to the World Cup, there should be no distinction between East Asia and West Asia, everyone should give their best performance, try to achieve good results, win glory for Asia, correct the name of Asia, and make the waist pole of Asian football harder when FIFA divides the cake in the future.

In general, this is also for the good of Chinese football - when allocating places in the World Cup in the future, if Asian teams can earn more places for Asian football with excellent performances, won't it be so difficult for the Chinese team to enter the World Cup finals?

Although Gao Zheng was telling the truth, he was still regarded by the media as a cover-up.

Everyone seems to prefer to believe that he and Son Heung-min are competing with each other.

Therefore, before the game, the media of China and South Korea were desperately hyping up the grievances between the two people.

In response to this situation, Gao Zheng complained to Feng Shiyu on WeChat; "The media landscape is so small, am I the one who cares so much about personal grievances!"

Feng Shiyu replied with a smile: "Of course it is." ”

Gao Zheng didn't expect Feng Shiyu to answer like this, he thought that the other party would echo him, so he protested: "Why am I?" ”

"Who has ever been to Ji Chengyong halfway across the pitch in the Asian Cup? And twice in a row? ”

"Who is the one who must be barbed in front of Park Joo-ho?"

"......" faced Feng Shiyu's series of rhetorical questions, Gao Zheng was speechless.

"But I believe you have no personal grudges against Sun Xingmin."

"Bosom friend!"

"Because Sun Xingmin didn't provoke you. In the last leg, although Bayer Leverkusen won against you, Son Heung-min did not play and did not score. ”

“……”

"But it's hard to say in this game, who knows if Son Heung-min will score? Who knows if he'll celebrate you after he scores? ”

“…… How do you know me so well! ”

"To put it mildly, this calls me a roundworm in your stomach."

“…… Does that sound good? What if it's ugly? ”

"As soon as you pout your ass, I know what shit you're going to shit."

"......" Gao Zheng was completely speechless. Goodbye, I'm going to take a shower! ”

"Go ahead, I wish you a smooth transition to the quarterfinals tomorrow."

"Welcome to the Vincent Calderón Stadium! A crucial battle for the quarter-finals of the Champions League is about to take place here. Atletico Madrid host Bayer Leverkusen...... Although Atletico Madrid lost 0:1 away to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga in the first leg. But Atletico Madrid have won eight of the nine Champions League home games Diego Simeone has played under Atletico Madrid, with the exception of last season's Champions League semi-final, when Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 at home to Chelsea......

'Only two of the nine home games have conceded, and so far they have kept a run of 460 consecutive Champions League home games without conceding a goal – the last player to score at Atletico Calderón was Gao. He scored in the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League, and he scored three in one game. Atletico Madrid have conceded just four goals at home in the Champions League, three of which have been scored by high goals...... However, now that he has moved to Atletico Madrid, Simeone does not have to worry that Gao will break the Atletico Madrid goal again. Hahaha! ”

"Historical data is also more favourable for Atletico Madrid's elimination of Bayer Leverkusen. First of all, the last time Atletico Madrid eliminated their opponents in the Champions League was against a Bundesliga side, in 2008 against Schalke 04. Secondly, Bayer Leverkusen have maintained a five-game winning streak in their most recent official matches without conceding a single goal. However, they have lost five of their last six away Champions League games. Since reaching the Champions League final in 2002, they have reached the last 16 of the Champions League three times, but they have all been eliminated by large scores: last season they were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain with an aggregate score of 1:6; In the 2011-2012 season, he was eliminated by Barcelona with an aggregate score of 2:10; In the 2004-2005 season, they lost to Liverpool 2:6...... In addition, since beating Espanyol on penalties in the 1988 UEFA Cup final, Bayer Leverkusen have faced Spanish sides four times in European competition, all of which have been eliminated! ”

"Atletico Madrid only lost by one goal in the first leg, which laid the foundation for a comeback in the second leg. As long as Atletico Madrid plays normally, I believe they will still advance to the quarterfinals! ”

While the commentators were giving some background to the game, players from both sides were already standing in the tunnel and ready to play.

Gao Zheng felt Sun Xingmin's gaze again, this time the latter was not staring at him from behind him.

But when Gao Zheng walked out, he made eye contact with Sun Xingmin, who was already standing in the passage.

The two looked at each other, Sun Xingmin's eyes were blazing, full of aggression, and the provocation could not be concealed at all, or Sun Xingmin did not want to hide it.

And what about Gao Zheng?

glanced at Sun Xingmin, smiled at him, and naturally withdrew his gaze.

If Sun Xingmin thinks he is afraid, then let him be.

Anyway, football is not played with eyes.

See you on the pitch.
