Chapter 119: Tears of Happiness
Uzbekistan patronized the attack, thinking of equalising, and the gaps in their backline were getting bigger and bigger, and many times, they only had two people at the back.
The full-backs are basically turning into wingers.
This is a great opportunity for the Chinese team to fight back.
In the 75th minute, Uzbekistan launched an offensive from the back through continuous passes, from the left side to the right side.
In the end, at the position of the ribs of the Chinese team's penalty area, their player with the ball was entangled by Ren Xing and broke the ball.
After Ren Xing broke the ball, he fell to the ground and stabbed the football to Hao Junmin in front, who received the ball and turned to take it forward.
The Uzbek player quickly caught up and wanted to break the ball, but just as he caught up with Hao Junmin, Hao Junmin sent the ball to the left side of the field.
There, Wu Lei was chasing the ball at high speed.
But at the same time, Uzbekistan's central defender Muraganov also thought about pressing.
"Okay! Hao Junmin gave Wu Lei...... This ball must be held, controlled well, and don't rush ......"
When the football was about to fly out of the sideline, Wu Lei caught up with the football, but he did not stop the ball, but raised his foot and knocked the flying football directly to the inside line with the outside of his right foot!
At the same time, he stopped sharply and accelerated again, dodging Muraganov, who pounced on him to intercept him!
"Beautiful! Even stopped! Wu Lei, who scored the goal, is in very good shape today! He dribbled the ball into the box! ”
Wu Lei's sudden escape caught the Uzbek defenders off guard.
Muraganov was thrown away, and another central defender, Ismailov, rushed up to make up for it.
Muraganov was in hot pursuit, vowing to trap Wu Lei.
But just when their encirclement was about to form, Wu Lei suddenly passed the football out sideways and to the other side of the penalty area!
"Oh pretty!!"
The narrator was condescending and condescending, and he had already seen that on the other side, Gao Zheng slapped his horse and killed!
Within a radius of ten meters around him, there is not a single player from Uzbekistan!
"Opportunity ——!!"
In He Ping's shouting, Gao Zheng kicked the football, and the Uzbek goalkeeper pounced when he saw this.
But Gao Zheng didn't shoot, the foot he picked up was just a false shot, and after stopping the football, he changed his foot and shot again, this time it was real.
The ball flew past the pounced Uzbek goalkeeper Nesterov and into the goal.
"Good shot! Strike!!! 3:1! The Chinese team locks up the win! Wu Lei and Gao Zheng played a wonderful counterattack! In the end, this pass is exactly the same as Gao Zheng's pass to Wu Lei in the first half! The two of them are really getting more and more tacit together now! He Ping said excitedly.
A long time ago, everyone had hoped that Gao Zheng and Wu Lei, the super geniuses born in 1991, would be able to combine in the national team. But because of Gao Zheng's serious injury, this scene came to naught.
Now that the long-overdue combination has finally shown its signs in this Asian Cup, can this not make people who have always cared about Chinese football happy?
After the goal, Gao Zheng also pointed at Wu Lei and ran towards him, and the two hugged each other again.
"Pass beautifully!" Gao Zheng patted Wu Lei's back and said.
"But you more beautifully!" Wu Lei said.
Gao Zheng laughed, Wu Lei returned this to himself!
※※※
Seeing Gao Zheng's goal, the stands cheered thunderously, and "Singing the Motherland" was sung over Brisbane Stadium for the second time.
"We heard the Chinese fans singing again, and maybe since the 2001 World Cup, the Chinese fans have never felt so good...... In this Asian Cup, we beat Saudi Arabia, breaking the previous record of never beating Saudi Arabia in the Asian Cup; Now that we are 3-1 ahead of Uzbekistan, there is a good chance that we will once again break an embarrassing record of never beating Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup...... Also, two consecutive wins to advance to the knockout round as the first in the group, and then in the knockout round, whether it is facing the host Australia or South Korea, I think with the strength of this Chinese team, you can play with the opponent in a dignified manner! ”
He Ping was very moved and excited.
For a long time, Chinese football has been scolded and used to vent negative emotions, so he once said the famous sentence: "Even if Chinese football is everyone's spittoon, it is also my holy grail".
Now that he saw his favorite Holy Grail in the dust for a long time, there was finally a moment to regain its glory, could he not be excited?
His partner Xu Yang agreed: "Yes. Such a Chinese team has nothing to fear! What about the hosts? What about Koreanophobia? Destroy them as well! ”
The television broadcast gave footage of the Chinese fans in the stands.
Among the cheering Chinese fans, there were also people who hid their faces with their hands, and they were also wearing red T-shirts to cheer for the Chinese team, and they were also Chinese fans. At this moment of great happiness, tears flowed down.
Chinese football has made their supporters cry many times, and most of the time, the tears are bitter and the mood is sad. The number of tears of happiness left like this is too few and too few, and there are only a handful.
At this moment, they can finally release all the emotions that have been squeezed in their hearts for many years.
In the camera, it seemed that someone noticed that they were on the big screen at the scene, so someone next to the crying fans touched them, pointed to the big screen to show them, they wiped their tears, showed a bright smile to the camera again, and waved the five-star red flag in their hands, but the tear stains on their cheeks were still reflective, which could be seen clearly in the live TV......

After taking a 3:1 lead, the Chinese team played more and more easily, while Uzbekistan played more and more impatiently, and the more they played, the more they played, the more boring they became.
With seven or eight minutes left in the game, it was clear to everyone that Uzbekistan was no longer a threat to the Chinese team's goal.
They frequently make mistakes on the court, even if they are not pressed and interfered with by Chinese players. And there was a situation of physical exhaustion.
On the other hand, the Chinese team, who used to be ridiculed as soft-footed shrimp, gave people the most feeling as if they were never physically good, and their lower limbs were weak in the game, they couldn't run, and they ran slower than others. But in this Asian Cup, this situation is gone, and instead until this time, the Chinese players are still running all over the field.
The Chinese fans who watched this were very embarrassed - they actually let us see the scene of the Chinese team dragging the opponent down by running!
Because the Chinese team now has a two-goal lead, and the opponent is too physical to effectively threaten the Chinese team's goal, Perrin made the last substitution in the 85th minute, and he replaced Gao Zheng with Sun Ke.
Gao Zheng was replaced, and the Chinese fans in the stands gave him a warm round of applause. He deserves such treatment. In this game, he scored one goal and assisted two goals, and the three goals of the Chinese team were all related to him! Rest well, the quarter-finals are waiting for you! ”
Gao Zheng walked off the field with warm applause, shook hands with Perran, and high-fived every teammate on the bench.
Although there may be eight minutes left in the game, including injury time, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and the game has entered the final garbage time.
