When Gao Zheng helped the Chinese team extend their lead from 2:1 to 3:1, the news quickly reached the Azadi Stadium, and the Syrian assistant coach wanted to tell the news to head coach Hakim.

But he was rudely stopped by Hakim: "I don't want to listen to the news over there!" We're still behind, so what does it matter to us even if we score 10 goals over there?! ”

The assistant coach was a little aggrieved - when he told him the news of Wu Lei's goal before, he didn't react so much......

But Hakim was right.

So far, Syria is still 1:2 behind Iran, what is the Chinese team playing with Qatar, and what does it have to do with us?

If we can't win this game, even if the Chinese team loses, will we be able to qualify for the play-offs?

So the key is to win on your own side.

It's just that......

The assistant coach raised his wrist and looked at his watch, the game was almost 80 minutes, Syria was still 1:2 behind, even if they came back to win, how many goals would they score in the remaining ten minutes?

It would take two goals for them to come back and win, and at 3-2 they will only have a goal difference.

And what about the Chinese team?

Now they have two goal difference!

Even if Syria wins, so what?

At that time, Syria will have a total goal difference, and the Chinese team will have a total goal difference of four......

Even if the score is the same, the goal difference is the Chinese team win!

What to say about beating Iran by a big score...... Now it seems doomed.

He suddenly felt a little pitiful for the Syrian players on the pitch, who still didn't know what was going on in the other stadium.

Otherwise, they probably won't have the motivation to finish the next game.

Maybe that's why Hakim doesn't want to know what's going on over there.

Because he's a manager and he's afraid of losing motivation......

Qatar, which was two goals behind, basically lost its fighting spirit, and the offensive rhythm of the Chinese team also slowed down significantly.

There are still ten minutes left in the game, but many Chinese fans have already begun to think ahead about whether China will face Australia or Saudi Arabia in the play-offs.

Saudi Arabia and Australia are tied on 16 points heading into the final round of 12, with Saudi Arabia having a goal difference of six and Australia having a goal difference of five.

If they all win in the final round and have 19 points, the goal difference difference is so effective, there is a lot of room for imagination. However, in terms of match-ups, Australia may have the upper hand, as they host Thailand in the last game, while Saudi Arabia play Japan at home. Although Japan has already qualified early, it will not lose to Saudi Arabia in the away game, which is an accident.

So Australia could beat Saudi Arabia on goal difference to finish second in the group and qualify directly before the World Cup final.

China's opponent in the play-offs will be Saudi Arabia.

In comparison, Chinese fans also hope that the Chinese team will play Saudi Arabia, after all, it is a familiar old opponent.

The bodies of the Australian players were too strong, and the Chinese team had a hard time playing.

In fact, whether it is Australia or Saudi Arabia, this play-off is not easy to play.

But at least the Chinese team still has the qualifications to fight hard for their dreams, which is better than dying directly in the top 12.

And...... With Gao Zheng's state, maybe we will fight our way out of the play-offs?

Everything has to be on the bright side.

The carnival of fans, jokers, and marketing accounts has begun on the Internet.

At this moment, although they have not really reached the World Cup finals, many people feel as if the Chinese team has been confirmed.

The carnival reminded some old fans of that night sixteen years ago.

Coincidentally, the difference between the two is sixteen years and one month.

And those young fans who only began to pay attention to football and Chinese football in the 2002 World Cup have experienced the achievements of liking Chinese football for so many years. The scenes in the "Qualifying Day" documentary seemed to them as if they were from the last century, even though it was 2001.

After I don't know how many times the film source circulating on the Internet has been repeatedly compressed,480It can be called"HD"The resolution has long been unable to keep up with today's 1080P standard,It's easy to be2K、4KThe display standard,The picture quality is also miserable。

The people in the documentary dress their hairstyles and speak with a strong legacy of the last century, and although only 16 years have passed, it seems to have been decades away from today's Chinese society.

Now they can finally put themselves in the middle of such a documentary scene.

I just hope that future generations don't need to go to documentaries to find that kind of heartfelt joy and pride like them.

Just when everyone thought that the Chinese team would defeat Qatar with a score of 3:1 and finish third in the group, the Chinese team scored in the 89th minute.

After Gao Zheng received a cross from Wu Lei in front of the goal, he stretched out a kick before the defender and shoveled the football into the goal.

“4:1！！！ Oooo Although this goal was just the icing on the cake, Gao Zheng completed a hat trick in this game! It was his second hat-trick in the round of 12 since his comeback! Since his comeback, he has scored eleven goals in the round of 12! And he only played five games! If you count the game before the injury, six games, thirteen goals, this efficiency, this number of goals, the best in the entire round of 12! If it weren't for his injury, maybe we wouldn't have had to go so the road to the World Cup......"

He Ping said what many fans thought.

If Gao Zheng is not injured, the Chinese team should now compete with Iran for the top spot in the group......

But alas, there are no what ifs in this world.

After going through such twists and turns, the Chinese team was still able to qualify for the World Cup play-offs, and it is already a great result that it is still alive and dead.

Although the game is not over yet, it is believed that the result of this game should be impossible to change again.

After the Chinese team defeated Qatar 4-1, even if Syria won against Iran in the last minute and chased the same score, the Chinese team will beat Syria with a goal difference of five goals.

At the same time, what the game between Uzbekistan and South Korea looks like will not affect the Chinese team to finish third in the group. If Uzbekistan wins, Uzbekistan will become second in the group, and South Korea will become fourth in the group because of goal difference; If the South Korean team wins, the South Korean team will finish second in the group, and Uzbekistan will be directly behind the Chinese team because of the disadvantage in points.

A victory, so that the Chinese team successfully landed, Chinese fans can not look at other people's faces at all.

Destiny is in your own hands!

Gao Zheng said before the game that the solution is very simple - try your best to win by a big score, isn't it over?

At that time, some people said that Gao Zheng was just boosting morale.

But when did Gao Zheng say big things?

People are here for real!

After persistent efforts, Syria finally equalised in the 92nd minute.

After the goal, the Syrian players ran quickly to the center circle with their footballs in their arms, and although there was little hope, they still had a little fantasy in their hearts.

Hurry up, what if we kill Iran at the last minute?

Their head coach, Hakim, stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest and watched his players run towards the centre circle.

His face was indifferent, neither applauding the goal nor cheering for the players who had not given up.

Although others stood on the sidelines and put on a posture of supervising the battle, in fact, his heart was dead.

He knows very well that the Chinese team is now 4:1 ahead of Qatar, and no matter what happens to the Syrian side in the end, the round of 12 is over......

Their homeless team did their best, drawing with Iran and South Korea, beating Uzbekistan and Qatar at home, and fighting until the last minute without being favored.

But now, it's all over.

This is the end of the World Cup cycle in Syria.

※※※

"It's over! The game is over! The Chinese team defeated Qatar 4:1 away! In the other two games, Syria scored at the last minute and Iran drew 2:2, while Uzbekistan and South Korea failed to score, and the stalemate lasted until the end, with a score of 0:0! As a result, the Chinese team rose to third place with 14 points and qualified for the play-offs! ”

He Ping's excited voice sounded on the TV.

In the TV picture, the Chinese players on the bench rushed onto the field, looking at them as if they had won the right to qualify for the World Cup.

But they can't be blamed for being too excited, after all, they crawled out of a situation where they almost died. It's proud to be alive now, even if it's embarrassing.

Because Uzbekistan, which used to be in a good situation, is now dead.

Lippi, the old handsome, also had a rare smile on his face, hugging his assistants.

"We don't know if China's opponent in the play-offs will be Saudi Arabia or Australia, but of course it won't be easy to play either, that's for sure. But in any case, there is still hope for the Chinese team to go to Russia! And hope, no matter what time it is, is as precious as gold! ”
