Prominence in Football Community

As soon as Gao Zheng joined the national team, he found that there were more reporters coming to interview than when they participated in the Asian Cup in Australia - this fully shows that everyone attaches more importance to the World Cup than the Asian Cup.

It can be said that in the minds of many Chinese fans, even the World Cup qualifiers are of a higher level than the Asian Cup.

As soon as he showed up, he was surrounded by reporters, everyone wanted to hear his outlook for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

"My goal is to participate in the World Cup in Russia." Gao Zheng said facing the reporters' long guns and short guns and microphones.

Zheng Zhi, who was standing by the side to be interviewed by another group of reporters, turned his head and looked over in surprise after hearing this sentence.

Due to the failure of the previous three World Cups, the current Chinese players are much more cautious when talking about the World Cup.

They often do not directly say "We must participate in the World Cup", but rather cautiously say: "Play well at the current stage". As for the final result... If you can really play well at the current stage, the final result is believed Clothes moths can't go anywhere.

After all, there are still a few people like Gao Zheng who directly stated the goal in his heart.

When both of them finished the interview and returned to the locker room, Zheng Zhi wanted to have a good talk with Gao Zheng about this issue.

But he didn't expect Gao Zheng to find him before he spoke: "Captain, do you think what I just said to the reporter will bring psychological pressure to the teammates?"

Zheng Zhi wanted to talk to Gao Zheng about this topic. He originally wanted to persuade Gao Zheng to be more careful when speaking, so as not to be hyped up by the reporters, which would be detrimental to him.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng was thinking about whether his words would bring pressure to his teammates...

Hearing this question, Zheng Zhi temporarily changed his mind. He shook his head and said, "No, how can there be pressure? Participating in the World Cup is the common wish of each of us. If there is pressure because of participating in the World Cup, then he should not stay. In the team."

Hearing what Zheng Zhi said, Gao Zheng laughed: "Captain, I feel relieved when you say that."

Zheng Zhi patted Gao Zheng on the back: "Don't worry, who doesn't want to participate in the World Cup? I want to too!"

Gao Zheng looked at the person in front of him, he was very familiar with Zheng Zhi's experience.

In 2002, the Chinese team participated in the World Cup,

He is the Chinese Footballer. But the Chinese Footballer was awarded at the end of the year, and the World Cup was in June, and he was not selected for that national team.

But at the time, everyone thought that he could win the Chinese Footballer at the age of 22, and Zheng Zhi's future must have a bright future. It’s okay not to participate in the World Cup this time, and there will be opportunities in the future.

We have both reached the World Cup finals once, and will only participate in the World Cup more times in the future.

But at that time, who would have thought that what was thought to be the beginning of a glorious period was already at its peak?

After the World Cup in Japan and South Korea in 2002, not only did the Chinese team never participate in the main match of the World Cup, they even did not participate in the final stage of the World Cup Asian qualifiers...

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, in the key match of the top ten match, the Chinese team played match-fixing and never played against a West Asian team, and missed the top ten match with a goal disadvantage. And Zheng Zhi missed a penalty in that game. Later, someone said that if Zheng Zhi scored that penalty, the Chinese team might have entered the top ten.

But this is a misunderstanding. Because the root cause of this incident was a problem with the Chinese Football Association's mathematics, the goal difference was underestimated. So even if Zheng Zhi scored the penalty, it would not change the final score of the Chinese team defeating the Hong Kong team, and the Chinese team would still miss the top ten match by one goal.

In the South Africa World Cup qualifiers that started in 2008, the Chinese team failed in the top 20 and missed the top 10 for the second consecutive time. In the last battle of honor for the national team, Zheng Zhi missed a penalty again. But that penalty has nothing to do with the overall situation of the World Cup.

In the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, because the Chinese Football Association changed coaches and replaced the local coach Gao Hongbo with the foreign coach Camacho, the Chinese team was in turmoil. In the end, the "famous coach" Camacho did not bring any change to the Chinese team. The Chinese team missed the top ten for the third consecutive time and was eliminated in the top twenty. Zheng Zhi failed for the third time in the World Cup.

Some people say that Zheng Zhi is the "broom star" of the Chinese team, and he clashed with the Chinese team. Their basis is that Zheng Zhi missed a key penalty kick in 2006. This question has been said before, and it is complete nonsense. And even if the Chinese Football Association's math is not wrong, Zheng Zhi's penalty kick was also scored, and Kuwait will definitely score another one on the other side. They are just watching the Chinese team play. As many as the Chinese team scores, they will guarantee to win. The Chinese team scored one more.

Although the Chinese football fans called out that Chinese football match-fixing was rampant at that time, but in terms of real match-fixing, Chinese football is really far behind West Asia.

But I have to say that Zheng Zhi's national team career is full of tragedy. In the early years, because he tackled Cisse's leg, many people scolded him, and all kinds of "ball bully" hats were put on his head.

But after so many years, when Chinese football was still the same, everyone discovered that Zheng Zhi was the most stable and trustworthy person in the team. Without him, the Chinese team's midfield would not function well.

When Pei Lan first took office, he once wanted to give up Zheng Zhi, but after playing a few warm-up matches, he found that the Chinese team could not play well without Zheng Zhi, so he had no choice but to call him back.

And Zheng Zhi also changed from the 22-year-old Chinese Footballer to the Asian Footballer, but his age has also become 35 years old.

He is still on his way to the World Cup.

A miss in 2002 could become a lifetime miss...

Gao Zheng asked Zheng Zhi: "Captain, will this be your last time to compete in the World Cup?"

Zheng Zhi didn't expect Gao Zheng to ask this question. He froze for a moment, then nodded: "I should be. In 2018, I will be thirty-eight years old. In another four years, I should have retired at the age of forty-two." .”

Gao Zheng said with a smile: "So this time we will definitely be able to participate in the World Cup!"

Zheng Zhi smiled, and he patted Gao Zheng: "Then let's work hard together."

Soon Gao Zheng's words appeared in the reports of the TV media and the Internet.

"...Gao Zheng gives the national football fans peace of mind!"

"Gao Zheng vowed to lead the team to the World Cup!"

"Goal for the World Cup! The most aggressive goal of the national football team!"

...

This topic is also hotly discussed on the Internet.

Although there are still three years before the World Cup, with the start of the Asian qualifiers, the fans feel that they have entered the rhythm of the World Cup.

This level of attention even exceeds that of previous World Cup qualifiers.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the joining of Gao Zheng this time that everyone has more expectations for the World Cup-in the past, we stopped before the top ten games. Can we enter the World Cup finals this time?

Because of Gao Zheng, everyone's expectations for the national team have also increased a lot.

During this heated discussion, Gao Zheng received a call from his teacher Yang Wenlong.

On the phone, the old man scolded him: "You're showing off again, look at what you said! It's only the top 40, and you're talking about the World Cup finals!"

"This is not a lie, old man, I am speaking the truth."

"Nonsense! Really big talk! Is the World Cup so easy to advance?" Yang Wenlong said on the phone, blowing his beard and staring, "Football is a team sport. Do you think you can bring the Chinese team into the World Cup by yourself? Do you know the virtues of the Chinese team? ? What did the two warm-up matches in March look like, have you forgotten?"

Gao Zheng said with a smile: "Of course I remember, old man. But no matter how hard it is, I still have to participate in the World Cup. I don't want to wait another four years."

"If you say you don't want to wait, you don't want to wait? Don't talk too much, and I will recruit you for no reason..."

"Old man, if I can't participate in the World Cup in the end, why should I join the Chinese team?" Gao Zheng interrupted his teacher. "The reason why I chose to join the national team is to participate in the World Cup. And it's not my business alone, it's Lao Zhao's wish..."

Hearing these words, Yang Wenlong couldn't help turning his eyes to Director Zhao who was answering inquiries from parents in the distance.

So he sighed: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It is not your mission to hit the World Cup alone, nor is it a responsibility that you can shoulder alone."

"Don't worry, old man, am I the kind of person who will force myself?"
