Prominence in Football Community

Although Gao Zheng told the old man that he was not the kind of person who would force himself.

But this time, on the issue of the World Cup, he was serious.

The most important thing to come out to play is to keep your word. If you say you want to participate in the World Cup, you will participate in the World Cup.

He doesn't care if football is a team sport or not.

If his teammates are not good enough, then even if he carries the team alone, he will carry them into the World Cup.

Teammates' lack of strength is an objective difficulty, but it is definitely not a reason to give up subjectively.

After training for a period of time, all members of the Chinese team moved to Kunming, Yunnan Province to adapt to the plateau in advance and prepare for the first game against Bhutan.

After everything was ready, the Chinese team flew from Kunming to Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan.

Before departure, under the leadership of the coaching staff, all the players of the national team watched the first round of the top 40 match, where Bhutan challenged Hong Kong, China.

In that game, Hong Kong, China defeated Bhutan 7:0.

In terms of strength, Hong Kong, China is definitely not as good as the Chinese team. Since Hong Kong, China can beat Bhutan 7:0, why can't the Chinese team win by double digits?

Whether it is a player or a fan, everyone is full of confidence in the Chinese team's away game in Bhutan.

But when the players arrived in Thimphu and walked out of the cabin, they were dismantled by reality.

"Xiao Lei, aren't you? You have only walked a few steps, why are you panting like this? I said that although you are a goalkeeper, your physical fitness is not so bad, right?" The teammates of the national team joked about goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei.

Wang Xiaolei kicked his luggage and gave him a panting look: "Aren't you better?"

"Damn, why am I suddenly out of breath..."

Having said that, everyone suddenly found that their breathing was different from usual.

They all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"This is altitude sickness." Captain Zheng Zhi appeared behind the team members.

"Altitude sickness? Can't you? Didn't we adapt after a week of training in Kunming?" Everyone was quite surprised.

"That's right, the altitude of Kunming should be more than 1,000, right?"

"What more than one thousand, eighteen thousand, almost two thousand!"

"Yeah, then why didn't I have such an obvious reaction when I was in Kunming?"

"Because the altitude of Thimphu is 2,500 meters." The voice of Li Te, the Chinese assistant coach of the national team, sounded.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and someone's eyes widened: "Two, two thousand five hundred meters?!"

Li Te made a gesture to shut up: "Don't get excited, do everything in the plateau area slowly and calmly."

Gao Zheng jokingly said: "Do you know why the whole country of Bhutan believes in Buddhism? In plateau areas, non-Buddhism is life-threatening."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Li Te waved his hands anxiously: "Quiet, quiet! Keep quiet!"

But for Gao Zheng, the culprit, he really has nothing to do, he can only give Gao Zheng a blank look. I just said to be calm, aren't you adding to the trouble?

Facing the accusation from the assistant coach, Gao Zheng just smiled.

He felt that being too nervous would do the team no good.

Is there less time for the Chinese team to be nervous?

Take it easy, it's not a bad thing.

Despite a week of training in Kunming, the high altitude in Thimphu still made many Chinese players feel uncomfortable. Some people fell asleep at night because of altitude sickness, and the training status was naturally not much better.

And what's worse, because of the poor pre-match preparations by the Chinese Football Association, the Chinese team arrived in Thimphu only to find out that the football field was artificial grass, not natural grass.

And they have been training on natural grass courts in Kunming.

The altitude is wrong,

The turf on the pitch was also wrong, and the week of adaptive training in Kunming was completely wasted.

Despite this, Perrin still developed a tactic of attacking at the beginning, requiring the Chinese team to beat Bhutan in the first half.

In the face of the Bhutan national team, which is almost composed of students, Perrin feels that his request is not too much.

But when the game really started, everyone found that this amateur team was not easy to deal with.

I don't know if it's the incompatibility of the high altitude, or the artificial turf, or the emotion of underestimating the enemy, or a combination of the three.

In short, the Chinese team's offensive was raging, but with little effect.

Because of the eagerness to score goals, the Chinese team has maintained a high-tempo offensive, but there is a lack of change. Bhutan can easily adapt to this attack of the Chinese team.

The Chinese commentators and fans watching the game were anxious.

Originally they thought that the Chinese team could take the lead within five minutes of the game.

Some people even think that this game is nothing to watch, because it is won by a big score anyway. Just watch the game highlight video after the game is over.

Who would have thought that this game would be so exciting...

Until the 30th minute of the first half, the score did not change, and the Chinese team still failed to score.

All eyes were on Gao Zheng.

But even Gao Zheng was obviously affected by the high altitude.

Otherwise, why didn't the Chinese team score in the first 30 minutes?

However, in the 31st minute, Gao Zheng finally broke the deadlock for the Chinese team.

He turned around and volleyed with a kick outside the penalty area, hitting the Bhutanese defender and changing the line. The Bhutanese goalkeeper couldn't make a save, and the football shot into the net.

"The Chinese team finally scored a goal!" The commentator Liu Hong let out a long breath. "Although this goal has an element of luck, as long as it is scored. I believe this goal will definitely help the Chinese team relieve pressure. They don't have to be so anxious... ..."

Obviously, Perrin on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was originally planned to launch a quick attack, but it turned into a frontal attack abruptly, and finally won the opponent's position after paying a painful price...

Zhao Ju and Yang Wenlong were also watching the game in front of the TV. When he saw that the Chinese team hadn't scored a goal, Zhao Ju scolded his mother anxiously in front of the TV. Now that Gao Zheng scored the goal, he is also quite dissatisfied with the performance of other Chinese team players: "It's just a bunch of pig teammates! It's so hard to beat Bhutan!"

Yang Wenlong glanced at him, but said nothing.

He thought of what Gao Zheng had said to him.

This kid has already uttered his big words. It seems that this road is very difficult to walk...

I'm afraid he really has to turn football into a one-man event...

After Gao Zheng broke the deadlock for the Chinese team, the situation suddenly became clear.

The Chinese team is no longer just thunder but no rain.

Before the end of the first half, the Chinese team entered the intermission with a 2:0 lead after Wu Lei scored another goal.

In fact, the result of a two-goal lead is not satisfactory, but against the background of not being able to score in the previous half an hour, the current 2:0 is not unacceptable...

In the second half, the Chinese team seemed to have changed teams. They were no longer in a hurry to send the football directly to Bhutan’s penalty area. Instead, they took control of the situation and organized the attack slowly, pursuing success rather than quantity.

And the effect of this attack is even better.

In the second half, Gao Zheng scored two more goals and completed a hat-trick. At the same time, other players also scored three goals.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Bhutan with a score of 7:0.

Got off to a good start in the World Cup qualifiers.

However, the victory and the score did not satisfy the fans. After all, after having Gao Zheng, the Chinese team only won seven goals and did not win by double digits. In their opinion, it was considered a failure.

After working so hard, the goal difference is the same as that of Hong Kong, China...but the question is, are the Chinese team and Hong Kong, China, the same team?

After the game, there were criticisms of Peilan and other Chinese players except Gao Zheng in the media and on the Internet. Fu Pin Chinese
