In Sydney, the Chinese team played an internal teaching match with the Oman team after a period of intensive training.

The match is not open to fans, only to national journalists, and journalists are asked not to bring any filming equipment to avoid leaks.

In order to deceive possible Saudi Arabian spies, Perrin also asked some of the players on the field to change their jerseys and scramble their numbers.

However, Gao Zheng did not enjoy such treatment, and he still wore the No. 9 jersey with his name printed on it.

As the most famous player of the Chinese team and the number one star of the Asian Cup, Gao Zheng is well known to the world, and his large promotional posters can be seen everywhere in the streets of Sydney, even if he wears a goalkeeper's costume, everyone can still recognize him at a glance.

So it was futile to let him disguise.

In this game, the Chinese team did not play very well in the first half, and also gave the Oman team the first goal.

After adjustments in the second half, the Chinese team completely controlled the situation. The final score was 5:1.

Before the start of the competition, everyone was always a little superstitious. This match has made many Chinese media find evidence that the Chinese team will win against Saudi Arabia - in the past five Asian Cups, the Chinese team's last warm-up game before the Asian Cup has won or lost the same result as the first game of the group stage:

Before the 2011 Asian Cup, the Chinese team and Iraq played the last closed warm-up match before the game, and finally the Chinese team defeated Iraq 3:2, and a week later in the first group stage of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team won Kuwait 2:0 to win the start; Before the group stage of the 2007 Asian Cup, the Chinese team defeated Melbourne Victory 1:0, and the first round of the group stage defeated the host Malaysia 5:1; Before the 2004 Asian Cup, the Chinese team drew 2:2 with the United Arab Emirates, and they also drew 2:2 with Bahrain in the first group stage; In the last warm-up match before the 2000 Asian Cup, the Chinese team drew 1:1 with Jordan, and the Chinese team drew 2:2 with South Korea in the official group stage; In the 1996 Asian Cup, the Chinese team lost 0:2 to Uzbekistan in the first group stage, and in the last warm-up game before the start of the game, they lost to South Korea 2:3.

From this point of view, does the Chinese team's 5:1 victory over Oman today mean that the Chinese team will also win the next group stage with Saudi Arabia?

Gao Zheng didn't see it that way, he replied in an interview after the game: "I don't think it's a rule, and football is not so simple." If we think we can beat Saudi Arabia for sure, we have to lose. ”

After the match with Oman, the Chinese team also ended a week-long closed training camp, and the whole team had a half-day holiday.

The bus took everyone into the city to visit and shop in downtown Sydney.

Because they also have to participate in the dinner held by local overseas Chinese for the Chinese team in the evening, every player must wear a uniform uniform.

Since the Chinese team had just ended a 30-year cooperation with Adidas, and the new sponsor Nike's clothing was not yet in place, the Chinese team had to wear the formal clothes provided by the domestic sponsor to go shopping.

In front of the Sydney Opera House, everyone completed a group photo, and then went their separate ways.

The free and easy activities are basically shopping, and the players use this opportunity to buy goods for themselves, their families and friends.

Gao Zheng is no exception, but what he wants to buy is different from that of his teammates, and it is difficult to buy.

Others either buy commemorative goods or luxury goods, but what Gao Zheng wants to buy is a very unpopular commodity.

"You want to buy a CD player?"

"CD player? What's that? ”

"Don't you all use Blu-ray players now, why do you need a CD player?"

Teammates reacted differently, some were surprised that Gao Zheng wanted to buy this thing, some confused the CD player with the Blu-ray player, and some didn't know what it was at all.

Gao Zheng didn't tell everyone that this was because Feng Shiyu gave him an album, and he needed a CD player to listen to it.

Although Feng Shiyu's new album can now be listened to digitally on the Internet, Gao Zheng feels that he still wants to use a CD player to listen to it, because Feng Shiyu gives himself a CD, and he goes directly to listen to the digital version, why should the other party give him a CD?

Or the older people in the team know more about this thing, Zheng Zhi frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to buy, I heard that Sony has long stopped producing this thing, and I don't know about other brands." ”

The physical fitness coach of the national team, Li Te, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid you can't buy it in the mall now, otherwise you can try your luck in a second-hand store?" ”

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Gao Zheng took out his mobile phone and entered information such as local second-hand stores in Sydney in the browser.

After checking that it was still a little far from here, Gao Zheng decided to take a taxi.

Li Te told Gao Zheng to rush back in time, and they also had to go to the dinner held for them by local overseas Chinese, he was the number one star, if he was absent, it would be too much to say.

Gao Zheng reassured Li Te, he went to take a look, and if not, he would come back, and he would not delay the dinner in the evening.

But in fact, Gao Zheng was not willing to return empty-handed.

When he got to the first place, he found that there was nothing he was looking for, so he immediately took a taxi and moved on to the next place.

As a result, when I got to the next place, I found that the information on the Internet was outdated, and the store had long since been replaced by a grocery store, which sold everything except second-hand CD players.

"Rely on ......" After coming out of the grocery store, Gao Zheng glanced back at the store and sighed depressedly.

He re-picked up his phone and decided to try his luck at the next place.

Think about your teammates who may be enjoying shopping in a luxury store in a big shopping mall at this time, and you are struggling to take a taxi from one place to another, not knowing if the next place has what you want, just like headless flies.

Why is there such a big gap between people and people?

"Eh, Sister Feng. I suddenly remembered something......"

Feng Shiyu set her eyes on Xiao Yingying: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your new album for the handsome guy is a CD, right?"

Feng Shiyu nodded: "That's right." ”

"What do you think are the odds of a handsome guy owning a CD player?"

Feng Shiyu said: "I didn't let him have to listen to that kind of antique, isn't the digital version of the album already on the Internet?" Just listen to it on your phone. ”

Xiao Yingying clapped her hands: "That's it, I think the handsome guy shouldn't be so stupid, I have to find a CD player to listen to." ”

"Where are the CD players sold now......" Feng Shiyu shook his head.

Gao Zheng walked out of the second-hand store for the fifth time, and this store didn't have what he wanted.

Seeing that time was running out, he had to rush back, or he might really have to miss the dinner.

Physical fitness coach Li Teh has asked him many times on WeChat, "Are you back?" ”

He just replied, "On the way." ”

But he hasn't gotten into a taxi yet.

Gao Zheng was a little disappointed, and he decided to ask Zhao Ju to help him ask in China.

Just then, he noticed a video store diagonally across the road, with boxes of CDs in the window.

This is a place that sells CDs, so will there be second-hand CD players for sale?

With the idea that everyone is coming, Gao Zheng crossed the road and walked into this video store.

Ten minutes later, he walked out of the store with a bag containing the CD player's box.

Finally let him buy it!

Sitting in the taxi, Gao Zheng couldn't wait to unpack it, put Feng Shiyu's album disc into the machine, put on the headphones and close the machine, and pressed the play button.

Feng Shiyu's magical voice poured into his ears along the headphones, and it was as comfortable as if he was massaging his ears.

Gao Zheng couldn't help but lean on the back of the back seat, close his eyes, and listen quietly.

It seemed as if all that was left in the world was the car he was in, and everything around him had disappeared.

"I listened to the album and it was really good. You really should go this way. ”

Feng Shiyu saw this WeChat sent to her by Gao Zheng, so she replied: "Just listen? ”

"yes, because I bought a CD player. You don't know how hard it is to buy, it's been discontinued a long time ago, and it's not available in many places. I went to a lot of places in Sydney to get ......."

Feng Shiyu looked at Gao Zheng's reply, was stunned for a while, and then suddenly burst out laughing.

Her laughter attracted Xiao Yingying: "Sister Feng, what's wrong with you?" ”

Feng Shiyu laughed so much that she didn't have time to speak, and directly lit up her phone to Xiao Yingying.

After Xiao Yingying saw what Gao Zheng said above, she also laughed: "It turns out that the handsome guy is really so stupid!" ”

Then she added, "But it's so stupid and cute......"
