In the second half of the game against Standard Liege, not only did he practice the lineup, but Chen Zhuo also lived up to expectations and added another goal to his Champions League goal. This is also the result of a set of offensive systems that came on the field in the second half.
In the second half, Chen Zhuo successively arranged Toruń, Ze Roberto, and Trokhovski to play, replacing Vanney, Berg, and Tscher, Ogo returned to the left-back position, Ze Roberto played as a midfielder, Torun and Elia partnered in the striker, and Trokhovski replaced Terrhovski.
This adjustment was made because the Standard Liege team has changed the goalkeeper again, and they have completely used the remaining time to practice the lineup, and the defense has also made targeted arrangements for Elia's bottom cross from the left, so Chen Zhuo has also made corresponding adjustments.
The only goal in the second half was scored by Chen Zhuo in the 89th minute of the game.
Ze Roberto and Trokhovski combined to penetrate and advance from the right side, straight Setorun quickly inserted from the right ribs, Toruń passed back from the bottom line, Elia pulled in front and leaked the ball to the middle, Chen Zhuo grabbed control of the ball in the sandwich and close hand-to-hand combat between the two defenders, and stabbed it very hard from 9 meters from the goal, and the ball bounced into the net.

For Chinese fans, the banner raised by several South Korean beauties at the home stadium of Standard Liege stimulated them, and an online wave of calls for Chen Zhuo to join the Chinese national team was launched.
The Chinese Football Association did not give a clear reply to this initiative, but according to relevant parties, the Football Association basically does not have much interest in "older youth" like Chen Zhuo.
"He is 29 years old this year, and he will be 33 years old in the next Shijie Cup, what is the purpose and significance of letting him enter the national team?" There are also many "rational" fans on the Internet who oppose that proposal.
"Don't join the Chinese national team, just play outside, even if you play in the German Second Division, don't come back, it'll be over as soon as you come back!" It is a very outright pessimist who publishes such statements.
"In the 1990 Shijie Cup, Cameroon's hero in the top 8 Uncle Mila was 38 years old, and he scored in the 1994 U.S. Shijie Cup!" Those who say this kind of thing are "idealists", and the idealization is more thorough.
"In short, Chen Zhuo is not allowed to join the Korean nationality, otherwise he will be a traitor!" Most of those who have this kind of view are deeply immersed in the thinking of certain eras, and they put labels and slogans at every turn.
At the "closing meeting" of the relevant departments of the Football Association, it was indeed discussed whether to convene Chen Zhuo to join the national team and prepare for this year's Guangzhou Asian Games and next year's Asian Cup......
"As for the 2011 Asian Cup, we will call for the new coaches when they are confirmed, and of course we will tend to leave more opportunities to the young......sters," the Football Association finally officially stated, as is the case with all departments in the country, without explicitly rejecting or acknowledging it.
But the sentence "tend to leave more opportunities to young people" is basically equivalent to sealing the door for Chen Zhuo to enter the national team.

"It's not like I've never been young, it seems that I didn't wait for the opportunity they gave me when I was young," Chen Zhuo was very depressed in the face of Heidi'......s relaying of the attitude of the Chinese Football Association.
No matter how bad the Chinese men's football team is, it is the highest level of competition that a player can participate in, and that is also an honor!
This week's "Football Story" focuses on the issue of players and national teams, and incidentally talks about the issue of naturalized players.
"If the Korean side really wants to naturalize you and participate in the Shijie Cup, will you consider it?" Heidi asked.
Chen Zhuo hesitated, not knowing if it was appropriate to say it, not if the Korean side was interested, but the Korean Football Association had asked someone to call Chen Zhuo!
It's not just a few Korean female fans who hang banners off the field to say a few words, in fact, it's really happening!
Shaking his head, Chen Zhuo said: "I am very grateful to them for their recognition and affirmation of me, but I'm sorry ......"

"What? The South Korean side admitted that it had sent an invitation to Chen Zhuo? The director of the foot management center, Wei Di, was taken aback.
"Why don't you know Director Wei? CCTV South Korea reporter station said that the South Korean side has sent an exclusive interview on this matter! Director Ma of the CCTV Sports Department said.
Wei Di said: "Do you have any information there, send it to me quickly." ”
After putting down the phone, Wei Di took out his mobile phone and looked up the phone number, muttering: "Why is it so complicated, I shouldn't have started the mess if I knew it!" ”
South Korea, Shangwu football team coach Li Kangzhu admitted in a follow-up interview that he had been entrusted by the Football Association to call Chen Zhuo in his private name, although considering Chen Zhuo's family background, Li Kangzhu thought that this matter was very difficult, but Li Kangzhu still called over, Chen Zhuo was very polite to express his gratitude, but also expressed his refusal.
"May I ask Coach Li, did you know the Chinese player Chen Zhuo before? Weishenme Foot Association commissioned you to call him? The reporter asked.
"Acquaintance, known for a long time. In 1998, when I took the Shangwu football team and the Chinese Bayi team to conduct sports and cultural exchanges between the Korean and Chinese armies, the officer in charge of liaison on the Chinese side was the father of the Chen Zhuo player......" Lee Kang-suke recounted.
That is a thing of the past, South Korea is a national military service system, many school-age players will also enlist in the military for two years, in order to allow these professional players to receive strict and scientific training during military service, the South Korean army and the Korean Football Association jointly set up the South Korean "Sangwu" football team, since 1989, Lee Kang-suke as the head coach of the Shangwu football team, guiding the training of players, and taking the team to play friendly matches with national teams and military football teams of various countries, as well as participating in some military games with football matches.
1998 is the fourth year of the professionalization of Chinese football, Chinese football is eager for all foreign advanced things and talents, in 1999 Li Kangzhu as a consultant of the Bayi football team to help Liu Guojiang organize training and games, in fact, that year in the Bayi team, Li Kangzhu has the right to decide on the lineup.
"During the period when I was a consultant for the Bayi team in China, I would often organize the first team of the Bayi team to play against the youth team, and Chen was in the Bayi youth team at that time, he was a forward, a promising player, but unfortunately he was seriously injured in a confrontation match, and I even thought that he could not continue to play professional football at that time......" Li Kangzhu was obviously very impressed by Chen Zhuo's injury.
"I returned to South Korea in the second half of 1999, and in the next two years, the Bayi team will arrange for some young players to come to South Korea every winter to train with the Shangwu team for about ten days, and every year I will also give special notice to Chen to come, he recovered quickly, and changed to a defender, until 2003, after the very serious SARS, the joint training of the two teams was interrupted, but Chen still occasionally called me and mailed the video of his game......" Li Kangzhu has no secret about his personal relationship with Chen Zhuo, indirectly, He is also one of Chen Zhuo's Jishu advisors.
"Coach Lee, when you talk about Chen in a public interview, can it be regarded as the Korean Football Association officially inviting Chen through the media?" The journalist asked.
Li Kangzhu shook his head and said, "It's my personal meaning." In fact, I also know that with Chen's military family background, it is almost impossible to break away from Chinese nationality and become a South Korean citizen, but I sincerely hope that Chen can seriously consider that South Korea's platform and football atmosphere are ahead of the whole of Asia, and if Chen is willing to consider it, I believe that there is a place for him in the Korean national team......"

"If Chen Zhuo really thinks about becoming a Korean citizen, will the Chinese Football Association oppose it? Also, Director Wei, a player who is openly invited by the South Korean national team, the Weishenme Chinese national team has not summoned him for a long time to train......"
Wei Di pushed away the microphone in front of him and got into the car and walked away, he didn't know how to answer these questions, those Koreans are really enough to make a mess!
