Chapter 183: No way
Although He Ping felt sorry for Hengyuan's goal, he also praised Hengyuan's performance and thought that they showed courage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially Zheng Zhi, he was praised by him non-stop.
Zheng Zhi was the key figure in this counterattack, first he cut off Yan Min's dribble, and in the battle with Yan Min, he had the upper hand. Immediately afterwards, he was very decisive with his dribbling and through ball, which is important - if he hesitates on the counter-attack, Hengyuan will lose his best counter-attacking opportunity and Muric will be in an offside position...... Although he is thirty-three years old, the veteran Zheng Zhi is still not old, and he has been conscientious and desperate in defense in the first half. And in the second half, when the team started to try more offense, he became a key pivot in the transition from defense to offense......
Although he didn't directly talk about the national team, the overtone of He Ping's words was "Why can't such an excellent player be selected for the national team?"
Although Gao Hongbo is the head coach who led the Chinese team to the runner-up of the Asian Cup and qualified for the World Cup finals, there has never been a lot of controversy in him. The controversy that arose before the Asian Cup almost put him in a precarious position.
Now even if he has entered the World Cup finals, there is also a voice worried that it may be difficult for Gao Hongbo to lead this team to make a difference in the World Cup finals, because Gao Hongbo's own strength is not recognized, and some people think that he can lead the Chinese team to the World Cup finals It is already very good.
Some people also believe that the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's ability to enter the World Cup finals is not the head coach, but the foreign players led by Zhou Yi. It's that this group of players is so good that any qualified head coach, as long as he doesn't mess around, can qualify for the Asian qualifiers. The evidence is that when the Chinese national team only had one Zhou Yi, the top ten matches were not very smooth, and later Sun Pan, He Ying, Yang Muge, and Guo Nu were recruited, and the national team was on the right track in the top ten. And there was a game against the weak Qatar, Gao Hongbo did not choose to recall overseas players, but the Chinese team lost the game at their home stadium, which made the qualifying situation confusing all of a sudden.
The defeat in this game is also considered to be an important proof that Gao Hongbo's ability is limited and he cannot lead the Chinese team to achieve great ambitions in the World Cup.
The Chinese team, which did not have foreign players, had no way to face the second-to-last team in the group at home. Gao Hongbo's on-the-spot command was criticized after the game.
So although the Chinese team qualified for the World Cup, many people felt that the players in it had the greatest credit, and the head coach's credit could not be said to be the smallest, but at least it was not as big as everyone thought......
Now he insists on not recruiting Zheng Zhi into the team, which has also caused dissatisfaction among many Zheng Zhi supporters in China. and plunged him into the whirlpool of controversy......

Zheng Zhi's outstanding performance helped Hengyuan get a chance to threaten the Dortmund goal. And this is the most threatening attack of Hengyuan since the beginning of the game.
The attack did scare the Dortmund fans out of the way - when Muric got up to shoot and Grosskreutz made a tackle, they were really worried that either the ball would be shot into the goal or Grosskreutz would tackle the opponent and give them a penalty, and they would be sent off for a red card......
The Dortmund players were also taken aback, they didn't expect the opponent to hit their goal so easily and smoothly, and the soldiers came to the city.
With the temper of a European champion, after being taken aback, of course, it is impossible not to show nothing.
Next, taking advantage of this goal kick, they launched an attack.
Zhou Yi retreated to the position of central defender to ask for the ball, and Zheng Zhi could not follow him all the way. After Zhou Yi got the ball, he turned around and brought it forward.
In the face of Muric's pretended defence, he broke through with ease and sent the football away.
Unlike Hengyuan's counterattack, Dortmund played a short pass penetration. After all, Hengyuan had already retreated and went back, and he did not entangle with Dortmund in the midfield.
Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, and slowly passed the ball with his teammates to push the offense forward. At the same time, in the process, he kept observing, looking for opportunities.
However, Hengyuan's shrinking defense is still very good, and it does not leave any too obvious gaps for Dortmund.
Zhou Yi observed a few vacancies, but after analyzing them in his mind, he felt that they were not a good choice.
When Dortmund passed back and forth, Zhou Yi noticed that Guangzhou Hengyuan might be worried that the space in their penalty area would be taken advantage of, so they all shrank more ruthlessly, which means that there is a chance at the edge of their penalty area.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to shoot directly from a distance and catch the opponent off guard.
He passed the football to Yan Min.
After receiving the ball on the left side, Yan Min cut inside with the ball again.
Although he was cut off by Zheng Zhi just now because of dribbling, he almost lost the ball. But Yan Min was not affected, and he still launched an attack on Hengyuan's penalty area with high morale.
His breakthrough attracted Hengyuan's defensive attention, and even Zheng Zhi leaned towards him again, as if he was planning to repeat his old tricks after breaking the ball.
But this time, when Yan Min faced a frontal interception, he did not choose to force a breakthrough, but suddenly passed the football out.
He passed it on to Zhou Yi!
After Zhou Yi received the ball, he adjusted slightly, did not delay time, and shot directly with his feet!
About thirty meters from the goal, he straightened his instep and hit the football!
Seeing Zhou Yi shooting, Hengyuan's players hurriedly came up to block it, but it was too late.
The ball brushed them by, straight into the top back corner of the goal.
Although the goalkeeper Zengcheng had already made a save, Zhou Yi's shot was sudden and tricky, and he couldn't reach it, so he could only watch the football drill into the goal from a dead corner!
"Zhou Yi-!!," Marcel Leif shouted in a long voice.
"Zhou Yi's kick...... What a ball!" He Ping was also cheering for Zhou Yi. "World Wave! This ball is really helpless, it is too beautiful to play, there is no solution at all, this lost goal...... It's speechless!"
"After the Guangzhou team created a threat, Dortmund quickly returned the color, and Zhou Yi used his long-range shot to knock down the counterattack flames that Guangzhou had just raised!"
After the goal, Zhou Yi turned around and ran to the corner flag area, and the pig celebrated, but he was only halfway through the run, and he was stopped by his teammates and couldn't run.
Although Zhou Yi is Chinese and Guangzhou Hengyuan is a Chinese team, he has not played in Guangzhou Hengyuan before, Hengyuan is not his old club, and he naturally has no feelings for this team. There's no such thing as not celebrating after a goal.
He can celebrate to his heart's content.
His goal also made the mood of those Chinese fans in front of the TV a little better - since Hengyuan could not enter the final anyway, then Zhou Yi's outstanding performance still made this duel have no losers, because whether Dortmund wins or Hengyuan wins, it is a victory for Chinese football.

Borussia Dortmund did not let up with a three-goal lead and threatened Hengyuan's goal on several occasions.
Grosskreutz and Reus both shot wide one after another, and on another occasion, Aubameyang's shot in front of the penalty area was blocked by Guangzhou Hengyuan's striker Feng Elkeson - one striker retreated to the goal, which shows how unfavorable the situation of Guangzhou Hengyuan is.
However, what makes people feel is that in such an unfavorable situation, Guangzhou Hengyuan still did not give up the attack.
In the 62nd minute, Guangzhou Hengyuan's South American trident created a threatening attack, after Muric divided the ball to instigate the offensive, Elkeson passed to the back of the penalty area with the outside of his left instep, Conca had already run to the receiving position, ready to receive the ball, but the football made Piszczek struggle to block it!
In the case of falling behind by three goals, Guangzhou Hengyuan did not give up any opportunity to attack, they are still looking for goals...... This spirit in itself is something to be admired – not every team can still perform like this in desperate circumstances. From this performance alone, we can know how much the Chinese team has improved by participating in the Club World Cup......"
In the subsequent game, the two sides have been going up like this, Dortmund has a chance, and Hengyuan also has a chance.
Here, Dortmund won consecutive free kicks in front, forcing Zengcheng to make a wonderful save.
Zheng Zhi suddenly kicked the ball and picked up the back of the Dortmund backline, Muric inserted into the penalty area, but Grosskreutz broke the ball first......
However, such a wonderful offensive battle did not last long, and Dortmund, who were more relaxed, still had the upper hand, and their strength and psychological superiority allowed them to completely suppress Guangzhou Hengyuan.
In the 81st minute, Reus scored the fourth goal for the team.
After taking a four-goal lead, Klopp replaced Zhou Yi.
In the eyes of many Chinese fans, this game is over.
Guangzhou Hengyuan fell behind by four goals, and was comprehensively suppressed from the score to the scene, and it was impossible to have any decent performance.
Now that Zhou Yi has been replaced again, the biggest attraction is gone.
What else is there to watch in this game?
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was 4:0, and Dortmund defeated Guangzhou Hengyuan.
Although Guangzhou Hengyuan worked very hard in the game, they also chose the right tactics. However, the huge difference in strength between the European champions and the Asian champions is still not something that can be bridged by relying on the method of mental victory.
"It doesn't matter. He Ping looked at the dejected Guangzhou Hengyuan player in the picture after the game and said. "It doesn't matter. With the first time, there is a second time, and the accumulation of experience is a good thing for us. Good work next time!"
