When the football flew into the goal of Saudi Arabia, even CCTV's commentator He Ping was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the goal to come so quickly and so easily.

Looking at Saudi Arabia's performance after the start of the game, it must have made people think that the Chinese team would be in a tough battle......

Unexpectedly, in the opening 21 minutes, the Chinese team took the lead!

"What a ball!!" When He Ping was stunned, Xu Yang next to him couldn't help but snatch the job of the narrator and shouted first. "Good shot! Gao Zheng shot this ball beautifully! It is entirely fair to say that he single-handedly broke through the defense line of Saudi Arabia! Saudi Arabia sent two people to defend against Gao Zheng in this game, but Gao Zheng told them with practical actions that two people are useless! ”

He Ping came back to his senses and answered: "But Saudi Arabia definitely doesn't dare to use all four defenders to defend Gao Zheng, ha!" This ball Gao Zheng played very smartly, he didn't always go to the front, he had a lot of movement, he retreated to the midfield to pick up, out of the Saudi Arabian defence......"

He Ping and Xu Yang were gushing about analyzing Gao Zheng's goal, but at this time, few Chinese fans in front of the TV had the patience to listen to what they had to say.

Everyone was cheering.

The commentator of Saudi Arabia fell into silence for a while, he was still looking forward to the moment when the "Chinese nemesis" Hazaz broke the Chinese team's goal, but he didn't expect to wait for the moment when Gao Zheng broke their goal...... It's kind of ironic.

Didn't you already make targeted defensive arrangements for Gao Zheng?

Why still can't you prevent Gao Zheng?

It took a while for the Saudi Arabian commentator to shake his head and say: "Our players made a mistake in defense, Osama made a mistake, he shouldn't rush forward, after being shaken, his position formed a huge gap, which gave Gao the opportunity to burst into the box......"

He still thinks that the Saudi Arabian players made mistakes when defending, and according to his assumptions, if Osama was not in a hurry to rush out to break the ball, but to maintain the integrity of the defense with his teammates, Gao Zheng should not have a chance to score.

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng ran to the corner flag area, then held the corner flag with his hand, and stood next to the corner flag with his other hand crossed his waist.

His teammates rushed up and hugged him.

Although they are used to playing with Gao Zheng and getting used to Gao Zheng's goals.

But the main round of the Asian Cup, the qualifiers and the warm-up matches are all different.

In this Asian Cup, the Chinese Football Association specially gave them a departure ceremony, and this time there was a special training base camp in Australia, and a domestic chef was invited to cook for them at 2,000 yuan a day, which was unprecedented in terms of logistics support.

The importance and dedication of the top is naturally so that they can concentrate on the game, but at the same time, it also means that they have higher requirements for the results of the game, and it is not just as simple as qualifying from the group.

There are also Chinese fans, thousands of people said goodbye when they left, thousands of fans came to Australia to greet them at the airport, and local overseas Chinese held dinners for them, and tens of thousands of Chinese fans flew thousands of miles from China to Australia to cheer them on.

Under this kind of attention and concern, everyone is also a little pressured, for fear that the game will not play well, not only to live up to the attention of the leaders, but also to live up to the ardent expectations of Chinese fans.

In the first Asian Cup, facing the old rival Saudi Arabia, everyone was inevitably nervous.

However, Gao Zheng's goal in the opening 21 minutes dissipated everyone's nervousness.

This is not only a goal ahead of the opponent in the score, but also a very simple reason - they believe that no matter how the game is played, Gao Zheng is supporting them and being their backer, which makes them feel very secure and relaxed.

In that case, what is there to be nervous about, and what is there to be afraid of?

So when they celebrated the goal with Gao Zheng this time, they all thanked Gao Zheng very much, and it was Gao Zheng who helped them carry the burden that should have been on their backs.

The old captain Zheng Zhi patted Gao Zheng's shoulder: "Thank you!" ”

Gao Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for what?" I'm part of the team as well, I'm a striker, isn't that what I'm supposed to do? Captain, would you say thank you to everyone who scored the goal? ”

Zheng Zhi smiled: "No, you are different, you helped us reduce the pressure, our team can be regarded as a relatively young team in this Asian Cup......"

Gao Zheng hugged Zheng Zhi, bowed his head and said, "Where is this?" Captain, we're going to the World Cup in the future! ”

Hearing the words "World Cup", Zheng Zhi's smile froze, and then he hurriedly said: "I don't want to do so much now, just play the Asian Cup well." ”

"Okay, let's talk about the Asian Cup!"

Gao Zheng's goal boosted the morale of the Chinese team, and then the Chinese team dominated the field, and their attack was more dangerous than Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia also found that even if they sent two men to defend Gao Zheng, other Chinese players could pose a threat to their goal.

For a while, it was all Chinese players other than Gao Zheng who threatened the Saudi Arabian goal.

As for the "Chinese nemesis" Hazaz, his first appearance was in the 31st minute, when Zheng Zhi blocked Hazzaz in the midfield and received a yellow card, which was the first time Hazzaz appeared in the broadcast camera.

Then Hazaz fell to the ground in the scramble of the Chinese team's defender Ren Xing, and was stopped by the Chinese team twice in a row. This is the first time he appears in a close-up.

Other than that, Hazzaz doesn't have much of a chance to perform.

Towards the end of the first half, the Chinese team launched another dangerous attack. Hao Junmin crossed after breaking through on the wing, Gao Zheng, who grabbed the front point, deliberately missed the football and leaked the football to Wu Xi, a defender who was inserted in the back, and Wu Xi missed the football under the interference of the Saudi Arabian defender.

But it's only slightly off.

The Chinese team missed the opportunity to expand the score to 2:0.

Not long after the attack, Iran's referee Faghani blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Although it failed to lead by two goals in the first half, the performance of the Chinese team still won everyone's appreciation and recognition.

Chinese fans commented on this first half on the Internet, and basically couldn't find fault. If you insist on picking a bone in the egg, Wu Xi's last shot is the only problem, but it is not a mistake.

No one can guarantee that every shot will hit the ball in the frame of the goal, and the Chinese team suppressed Saudi Arabia in the first half, which was enough to make many Chinese fans happy.

You must know that over the years, the Chinese team has played Saudi Arabia, and neither the result nor the scene is superior.

This time, the Chinese team, with an average age of 24.4 years old, is dominated by young people, but it has played a rare mental outlook.

Although Gao Zheng scored a goal and was blown up by many people, many people also gave praise to those Chinese team players who were originally considered by them to be "oil bottles".

Zhan Jun, a well-known football commentator, said on his Weibo: "This is what we hope to see after Gao Zheng joins the Chinese team - not just relying on him to charge into the battle and score goals alone." More importantly, he can bring a confidence boost to this team. The power of example is endless, and under his leadership, other players will do their best, not willing to be left behind. ”
