Midfielder Ruler

The time Tang Zheng arrived at Sydney International Airport was 8:30 am on the 12th local time in Australia, that is, 6:30 Beijing time, and 11:30 pm on the 11th German time. one day.

This is also what Klopp and the Chinese domestic media and fans are worried about. European competitions are already intense and physical confrontations are more frequent. Is it really good for Tang Zheng to fly back and forth for more than 40,000 kilometers?

Tang Zheng, who had just stepped out of the international flight gate, had an unconcealable tiredness on his face, so the fans and interview media who came to Sydney International Airport to pick up the plane were quite critical of the Chinese Football Association's recruitment.

Despite this, Tang Zheng still smiled and waved to the media and fans present, and tried his best to satisfy the fans' demands.

Three days later, the Chinese team will challenge Australia at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, which has had an uneven road to the World Cup qualifiers, but they have recently recovered. First, they beat South Korea 1-0 at home last month and won.

Then they defeated Japan 2:1 in the warm-up match, showing a good competitive state.

Looking at the Chinese players, the 2o12 season ended at the beginning of the month. The Chinese Football Association did not arrange a warm-up match before the World Cup qualifiers like the Australian national team. .

Of course, the most important thing is that Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, who played for the Bundesliga, flew from far away Germany to Australia, which caused immeasurable physical fatigue.

Tang Zheng arrived at the hotel where the Chinese team was staying at around 9:30. He rested and had a meal at the hotel, and then followed the national team for recovery training.

The battle was imminent, even if Tang Zheng felt that his physical condition was not good, he still participated in the joint training in the team, otherwise the match three days later might lose suspense.

Hao Junmin arrived in Sydney half a day later than Tang Zheng, because Schalke's O4 league started half a day later than Dortmund.

Perhaps it is the physical hidden danger brought by fatigue,

Hao Junmin suddenly felt discomfort in the calf soleus muscle during the joint training the day before the competition.

He persisted for about five minutes, shook his head, and walked to the team doctor.

This training did not involve team tactics, so it is open to media reporters and fans...

That is to say, the scene of Hao Junmin going to the team doctor was in everyone's eyes, and Tang Zheng's mental state was slightly depressed. Many domestic media expressed concern about the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers at Sydney's Allianz Stadium tomorrow night. Sai is worried.

Back at the hotel where he was staying at night, Tang Zheng sat on the bedside after taking a shower, frowning, holding an I-pad in his hand and video chatting with his girlfriend Zhao Lina, he seemed unfocused, so that Zhao Lina pouted and said : "Do you have other women outside? You don't care about chatting with me now, huh!"

"What are you talking about? I don't have time to find other women? Hey~" Tang Zheng noticed Zhao Lina showing a sly smile on the screen, and immediately realized that this was a trick from his girlfriend, and said with a straight face: "Now I am proud of you." When the winter break comes, I will make you cry and beg for mercy."

"Hmph~ Who is afraid of whom?" In the video, Zhao Lina blushed obviously, but facing her boyfriend Tang Zheng, she held her head up, full of cuteness.

"That's right, I've become more courageous."

...

After more than half an hour of bickering between the couple, Tang Zheng's mood improved a lot. For tomorrow night's World Cup qualifiers, let nature take its course.

Some things cannot be forced.

※※※

Hao Junmin will definitely miss the next World Cup qualifier due to calf soleus muscle injury, which means that the only player China relies on to challenge Australia in the World Cup qualifier is Tang Zheng.

The domestic media and fans once again pointed the finger at the Chinese Football Association. It is not easy for Chinese players to survive in Europe. In the case of a relatively obvious gap in the overall strength of the team, Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, who are tens of thousands of kilometers away, were recruited. What a no-brainer!

It's all right now, Hao Junmin was injured when he didn't play in the game, and I don't know if his return from injury will affect his status in Schalke O4.

Tang Zheng's current state is still not ideal, obviously it was affected by the long-distance flight.

At 6:00 pm on November 15th, Beijing time, which is 8:00 pm in Australia time, the sixth round of the 2o14 Brazil World Cup Asian Group A focus match kicked off at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney.

Australia sits at home against the top Chinese team in Group A.

The Chinese team can even rank first in Group A. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is due to the two home draws with Australia and South Korea.

In the second half, the Chinese team will visit Australia and South Korea as guests, and they will definitely show their true colors.

With the whistle of the Malaysian referee Amir, the World Cup qualifier between the Chinese team and Australia was announced, and Gao Lin kicked the football to Yu.

Yu smashed the ball and turned to face his own goal, and then passed it to Tang Zheng who was ten meters away.

Cahill and Bresciano rushed towards Tang Zheng, one left and one right. What was different from the past was that Tang Zheng chose to cross to Zhang Linpeng who widened the angle of the pass to the right.

If it was in the past, Tang Zheng would definitely use his superb foot skills to boost morale, but these two days he felt that he was out of shape, so as to avoid the chance of the opponent's counterattack due to the slow ball from his feet, he played the ball very simply.

In the initial stage, the Chinese team's offensive and defensive transition was very stable under the control of Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi, and Australia, who played at home, didn't have many chances.

It wasn't until 30 minutes into the game that Australia slowly established a central advantage.

Immediately, the Chinese team began to panic in front of the gate.

Central 5 commentator He Wei gave his opinion on the difficulties encountered by the Chinese team: "Flying more than 20,000 kilometers to Sydney is a very big consumption for Tang Zheng. I personally interviewed Tang Zheng yesterday. He talked about My physical condition is not at its best, and I feel like I have more energy than energy. Thirty minutes before the game, he worked very hard to help the Chinese team control the midfield, but after 30 minutes, his physical fitness seemed to have problems... "

There were also fans who came to the scene to support the Chinese team and keenly discovered that Tang Zheng's coverage area gradually decreased, leading to the gradual decline of the Chinese team's control.

The on-site broadcaster gave a shot to the head coach of the visiting team, Camacho. His expression was a little gloomy, obviously dissatisfied with the current plight of the team, but other Chinese players were limited in ability and could not help Tang Zheng share the pressure.

For the Chinese team, the only good news is that no goals were conceded before the end of the first half, and the score remained at o:o

At the same time, Dortmund coach Klopp rarely watched the live broadcast of the Chinese team's World Cup qualifiers.

The on-site director gave Tang Zheng multiple shots, and it was not difficult to see from his face that he was tired.

After the end of the international match day, the league will play at home, and the opponent is not strong. It is the newly promoted Grethoff, who is currently ranked second to last, so it is not a big problem to win.

Considering that many players participated in the national team's warm-up match or World Cup qualifiers, even playing at home has certain risks.

The desire to win of the relegation favorite team is incalculable.

Seeing Tang Zheng's fatigue at halftime, Klopp wondered, should he give up Tang Zheng in the weekend league?

To be honest, he was very conflicted.

But after the league, there is still a top priority in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Thinking of this, Klopp had to give up. After all, the league opponents have limited capabilities and are not strong enough to threaten Schmelzer and Hummels. , Subotic and Piszczek formed a solid defense.

Quan Dang gave Tang Zheng a short vacation to resume the game.

The 15-minute break passed in a blink of an eye. In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Australia, which is at home, still has the advantage on the field.

In the absence of a good solution, Camacho took the lead in making personnel adjustments, removing an offensive player and replacing him with a defensive midfielder.

Zhao Xuri came on as a substitute.

This was a signal to liberate Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng's stamina and physical condition were obviously not good, so Camacho's substitution adjustment didn't help much on the offensive end.

After all, the Australians focused on defense against Tang Zheng. Whenever he stepped forward, there would be a full-time bodyguard following him, and there were other people waiting for the opportunity.

For Tang Zheng, the game was very aggrieved, he always felt that he couldn't use his strength.

Once again, the ball was intercepted by Bresciano and Spiranovic in the frontcourt. In order to avoid Australia's quick counterattack, Tang Zheng chose to kick Bresciano behind him who was holding the ball.

Therefore, Tang Zheng received a yellow card.

Tang Zheng shook his head, then put his hands on his knees, very helpless.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "Tang Zheng's fatigue is obvious. Although the current score has not changed, I think as Tang Zheng's fatigue increases, the Chinese team will be exposed to more and more crises..."

As soon as the words fell, Australia made a long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Since Tang Zheng has not yet returned to his position, the veteran Cahill has a very high hit rate for the header. Feng Xiaoting, who is taller, failed to grab the landing point. In front of the striker Richie.

Richie was fast. He stretched his foot and waded the ball directly into the penalty area during a high run, and then finished the shot before the defender Du Wei who came to defend him. The goalkeeper Zeng Cheng reacted very quickly, but Richie's shooting angle was particularly tricky. , the football hits the inner edge of the far post of the goal and rolls into the net.

Australia broke the deadlock and took the lead in the 67th minute of the game!

There was a deafening loud shout at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, and they vented their joy.

In the live broadcast, Tang Zheng supported his knees with his hands, he felt the burning sensation in his lungs, and kept hinting to himself in his heart——Persevere!

The score fell behind, Camacho asked for a substitution again, Yu Xiaobao removed Zheng Zhi, and strengthened the striker's offensive ability.

But the effect of this substitution was not ideal. Removing Zheng Zhi meant that Tang Zheng had to retreat to his partner Zhao Xuri, otherwise it was very likely that there would be a situation where the goal was lost in the front and the goal was conceded in the back.

In the 79th minute, Australia scored another goal.

Veteran Bresciano made a high-quality cross from the right at 45 degrees, and Cahill overpowered Feng Xiaoting to head the football into the near corner of the goal.
