In the 56th minute, the Chinese team got a corner kick opportunity, although the Chinese team has many high points, but it is still a little difficult to win against the German team, which has always been very dominant. Gao Jun, who had expected this, did not choose to attack the goal reluctantly, but ferried the ball to the right-back Zhang Linpeng, who was unnoticed outside the penalty area, who saw the ball flying towards him and rushed up to kick it

"The ball is in! Zhang Linpeng's shot outside the penalty area seems to have a broken line, and now the score is 2:3, and there is still hope for the Chinese team! Huang Jianxiang looked at Neuer with a depressed face on the screen and smiled happily.

"It is indeed a broken line, Zhang Linpeng is really the lucky general of the national football team, I hope this balloon can re-boost everyone's morale", guest Zhang Lu also has expectations for the next game

However, less than a minute after the Chinese team scored this goal, the German team used a fast break to break the Chinese team's goal again. Although Muller's shot after receiving Ozil's through ball was magically blocked by Wang Dalei, it was immediately put into the net by Klose, who followed up in time, and the score gap on the field widened again to two goals. Klose also completed his hat-trick in this game and increased his World Cup total to 15, tied with "alien" Ronaldo and Gao Jun of the Chinese team for the first place in history

Originally, the Chinese team had another chance to recover the score, but Gao Jun's long-range shot hit the crossbar, and the morale of the Chinese team was hit in the 66th minute because of the poor marking during the corner kick defense and was scored by Hummels, who almost made a big mistake in the game

After that, Xie Wenjun, the center forward with heavy responsibility in this game, ran out of physical strength prematurely because he fought too hard, and the head coach of the national football team, Stano, could only send Wuqiu Wang to replace him. Gourin was pushed to the center position. Because of his abundant physical fitness when he first came on the court, the king of martial arts was very positive and got a good opportunity, but because he was anxious, he knocked the ball away, and the hope of the Chinese team to recover the score was completely in vain

In fact, the bigger problem is that the Chinese team's back line made many mistakes in the last twenty or thirty minutes, if it weren't for Wang Dalei's bravery. The score on the field is only afraid that it will be further expanded. So much so that even Gao Jun finally had to admit the cruel reality, "The Chinese team lacks players with excellent individual defense ability, and when shrinking the defense, it can also be compensated for by relying on the numerical advantage, once we are behind the score and need to strengthen the attack, this problem is completely exposed." If this problem can't be solved, we can only be a dark horse like in this World Cup, and we will not be able to become a real strong team at all."

At present, on the back line of the Chinese team, if you look at it by the standards of the world's strongest teams, only Bai Jiajun has strong one-on-one defensive ability. But because he is too short, when facing a world-class team, Bai Jiajun's defense of high-altitude balls is always worrying, so at most he can only be regarded as half up to the standard, otherwise Starno will not abandon Bai Jiajun during the Sino-German battle. And the two central defenders who started in this game can't even go to Europe, and their strength is very limited. As for the two fullbacks Rong Hao and Zhang Linpeng, although they have both gone to play in the five major leagues, the former's strength has never been defense. The latter, on the other hand, has just arrived at Dynamo Dresden and is currently working hard for a rotation position. Both men are clearly underdogs when it comes to one-on-one with world-class midfielders.

"Fortunately, everyone is still young and there is still room for growth." In the end, Gao Jun could only comfort himself like this, but he actually knew very well in his heart that regardless of the potential of the current defenders of the Chinese team, the platform they are on alone determines that everyone's growth space is limited. "I hope that the table in this World Cup can give Xiaobai and Zhao Ming the opportunity to embark on the road to Europe, but one is congenitally deficient and the other is mediocre, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"

Although the Chinese team suffered a heavy defeat in this game, they were warmly welcomed by the fans after returning home. Because reaching the quarterfinals is already a historic breakthrough in Chinese football, even in the history of Asian football, it is rare to see. Moreover, in this World Cup, the Chinese team ranked first in the number of goals, showing the terrifying attack power in the frontcourt, and defeated Argentina by a large score, which also made domestic fans addicted. Gao Jun won the World Cup Golden Boot again with 9 goals and became one of the most scoring players in the history of the World Cup at the age of 22, which made domestic fans very proud.

In addition, there are two external factors that have also had a certain impact, the first is that the German team continued to soar after defeating the Chinese team. Muller's goal and Neuer's impeccable play avenged the European Championship with a 1-0 defeat to Spain, and then beat the old enemy Netherlands by two goals in the final, lifting the Hercules Cup for the first time in 20 years. Since the elimination of the Chinese team is the champion of this World Cup, this brings a lot of imagination, "We only lost to the final champion, all blame the group is not good, the opponent is too strong, if we change the schedule, maybe we can still reach the final!" ”

For Gao Jun, the German team was shocked to regain the World Cup four years ahead of history, and he realized that the butterfly effect caused by his crossing was enough to shatter history, and even if he retired from football now, the results of major football competitions in the next few years would still be very different. For this point, after the re-emergence of the Dresden Dynamo team in the new season, almost replacing the position of the historical Dortmund team, Gao Jun has a deeper understanding

Another point is that the Japanese team, which also advanced to the quarterfinals in this World Cup, lost 0:5 in the quarterfinals and even lost its pants, which is much worse than the Chinese team's table xiàn. Otherwise, if the Japanese team's table is better than the Chinese team, then the domestic media and fans will not be satisfied with the national football team's table in any case

Having said that, the fact that the Chinese team failed to go further in this World Cup still makes many Chinese people deeply regret, especially Gao Jun, who has an incomparable number of beautiful games but has not been elected as the best player in this World Cup, which makes many foreign fans feel a pity

In any case, the Chinese team's performance in the World Cup in South Africa is still commendable, and Gao Jun's personal performance is even more brilliant, even if the next World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award are not won by the championship, Gao Jun is already recognized as the number one star in the world, which can be seen from his rising commercial income from abroad, and now Gao Jun is not only the leader of Chinese football, but also has become the superstar with the most fans in world football. Even in Western countries, where racism is severe, there are now many media and fans who recognize Gao Jun as the greatest star in the world since Maradona

The outstanding record of the Chinese team in this World Cup has also produced a lot of secondary positive impacts, first of all, the country's determination to bid for the 2018 World Cup is firmer, the investment is greater, and the confidence is more sufficient, coupled with the rapid development of China's economy and the rapid increase of national strength in recent years, although there are many competitors in the bid for the 2018 World Cup, but most people, including FIFA President Blatter, are optimistic about China's final victory.

Of course, several other Asian countries that are also interested in bidding for the World Cup are depressed, compared to the hardware conditions, even an oil-rich country like Qatar cannot be compared with China at all, and now Chinese football is even unmatched in Asia with the national team results, so as early as soon after China decided to bid for the 2018 World Cup, Asian countries, including Qatar, gave up all of them. It's just because FIFA is bidding for the two World Cups in 2018 and 2022 at the same time, and the default unspoken rules will not allow the same continent to host two World Cups in a row, so the 2022 World Cup will also have no part for them. These Asian countries can only bid for the 2030 World Cup at the earliest

Although most of the players who played during the World Cup in South Africa have already established themselves in Europe, with such a table, whether it is to find a higher platform or to renew the contract with the club, they will be more confident. And even among the few cases of playing in Europe from China, there is still one transfer that shocked the domestic football world

"What? Barcelona wants to buy Xiaobai? Gao Jun was very surprised when he learned about this from Mendes, and he was a little worried that it would be difficult to adapt to jump directly from China to a world-class club like Barcelona. But after thinking about it carefully, Gao Jun had a lot of expectations for Bai Jiajun's trip to Barcelona, "Yes, Xiaobai's recovery speed is extremely fast, and he has strong one-on-one defensive ability, and he is familiar with ball control play, and he has good foot skills, isn't this the type of central defender that Barcelona lacks the most?" I remember that in the past, in order to solve the problem of the lack of speed of the central defenders, Pep Guardiola even asked Mascherano, who mainly plays in the back, to fill this hole. Xiaobai's recovery speed is faster than Mascherano's, and he has a better sense of position as a central defender, which is definitely more suitable for Barcelona than him. And only Barcelona's unique ball-possession and offensive ability can make Bai Jiajun's fatal flaw of lack of height be avoided by Cheng Dù to the maximum. Mascherano is only 1.74 meters, and the bounce is a cut worse than Xiaobai, he can do it, Xiaobai has no reason not to! (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
