Prominence in Football Community

Chapter 20 Ready to play

After a 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game began. Everyone saw that the Chinese team did not make any substitutions.

There are forty-five minutes left in the game, and Gao Zheng can't play yet, so when will he play?

The Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TVs were desperate.

The intermission lasted fifteen minutes. During these fifteen minutes, all kinds of rumors were flying all over the Internet.

Some people swear that Gao Zheng has not healed from his injury, but in order not to lose confidence in the other players of the Chinese team, the Football Association still insists on recalling Gao Zheng. Although Atlético de Madrid agreed to let the Chinese team recall Gao Zheng, they firmly disagreed with Gao Zheng's appearance in the game, so the two sides signed a secret agreement, which stipulated that Gao Zheng must not play in the game against the South Korean team, otherwise The Chinese Football Association will compensate Atletico Madrid with a huge amount of money, and the specific amount is not too much, and it happens to be Gao Zheng's salary for the past seven months at Atletico Madrid and all his surgical expenses.

Combined with Gao Zheng's wild words at the airport, why did he dare to provoke the South Korean team? Aren't you afraid of being injured again by South Korean players? Wasn't it because he was sure that he couldn't play at all, so he laughed at the South Korean players. Anyway, no matter how angry he was with the sticks, as long as he didn't play, the sticks would have nothing to do with him.

Some people compared the fact that Gao Zheng was unable to participate in the competition after returning to the team with the incident of Liu Xiang in the Beijing Olympics that year, thinking that they were the same thing.

Everyone knows that Gao Zheng can't play, but because of the pressure of sponsors, fans, and public opinion, Gao Zheng must appear on the sidelines of this game.

From this, it can be concluded that the Chinese Football Association has played with all the Chinese media and fans. These bureaucrats will do everything for their own careers, and they don't care about Gao Zheng's health at all.

...

There are still many rumors like this, and there are people with nose and eyes. Among them, there are even some football sports reporters with real-name certification, which deepens everyone's trust in these rumors. After all, they are all sports reporters. There are all kinds of inside information, and since they said so swearingly, it must be true!

Xiao Yingying was also checking Weibo during the intermission, but it didn't take long before she was annoyed by the miasma above and quit.

"It's all nonsense! It's about Wang Qinbo, who listed more than 20 reasons to explain that the handsome guy will definitely not be able to make an appearance today. As for... some reasons are very nonsensical at first glance, they are all made up and made up out of nothing. It came up. Just like this, there are still many fools who say that someone finally talks about the problem calmly and rationally... calm and rational!" Xiao Yingying complained endlessly in anger.

"What about 'all players are at risk of injury, and Gao Zheng, who has just suffered a serious injury, has a higher chance of injury, so he will definitely not play, this is a normal operation', do you see what he said is human? It seems It’s not normal for the handsome guy not to get hurt this time, it sounds reasonable, but in fact, just think about it, you can know what he’s thinking in these words..."

Feng Shiyao interrupted Xiao Yingying's complaint: "I'm also worried about Gao Zheng..."

"Fart! He's just using handsome guys to criticize the system! This person has always been like this, his ass is so crooked! When Chinese athletes were insulted by the Australian media for taking banned drugs, he said that because there is indeed a precedent for taking drugs in China, so It is reasonable for people to be suspicious... The problem is that Australia and the United States are the ones taking the most banned drugs, okay! He is a man with wrong views!"

Feng Shiyao knew Xiao Yingying's temper and who she didn't like, so she didn't refute.

"Hey, Sister Feng, didn't the handsome guy tell you that he was on the ground or not?"

"No, I didn't ask either."

"You didn't ask? Then if he doesn't play, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

"How could it be a waste of time?" Feng Shiyao pointed to the audience and said, "Isn't this a close encounter with Gao Zheng?"

Xiao Yingying visually measured the distance between the VIP box and the coach's bench of the Chinese team. The straight-line distance may be more than 20 meters.

That being said, it's really close enough...

She rolled her eyes.

※※※

Seeing that Gao Zheng was still sitting on the bench and did not play, the South Korean team gathered their minds, stopped thinking about when Gao Zheng would play, and whether he would play or not, and focused on attacking the Chinese team's goal.

The head coach is right, as long as they can score goals in the game, it is not a problem whether Gao Zheng will play or when he will play.

Son Heung-min is particularly active.

He's a fast player who is good at counter-attacking, but that doesn't mean he can't play a role in positional battles.

In Asian football, even if he is a center forward, he is still a very threatening scorer.

Just five or six minutes into the second half, he already had two shots that threatened the goal guarded by Zengcheng.

If Zengcheng hadn't continued his excellent performance in the first half, maybe the team would have conceded the goal.

But despite this, every Chinese fan is still worried, because they can see that if the game continues, the Chinese team will lose the ball sooner or later.

CCTV commentator He Ping also said worriedly: "We were too passive on the scene. I still think our tactics are a little conservative. We can't just choose such a conservative strategy just because Gao Zheng can't play in the game...It's meaningless to stick to it. This kind of defense will concede the ball sooner or later. And even if we don’t concede a goal, the game will be 0:0 by us, so what? Can we gain hope of qualifying for the World Cup finals with one point?”

He came close to directly criticizing Lippi for inconsistency.

He said to the outside world that he has confidence in the Chinese team's advancement to the World Cup, but in the end he arranged such a conservative tactic...

To be honest, he was a little disappointed with this world famous coach.

Could it be that before Lippi said this, he was quite confident that Gao Zheng could come back in time. Only now did he realize that the situation was far more complicated than he thought, so he had to make such a discrepancy between words and deeds?

But this also proves from the side that Gao Zheng's situation may be really not optimistic...

※※※

"I think it's almost the same. The boys on the field performed very well, but we can't put pressure on them anymore." Assistant coach Madaloni said to Lippi.

Lippi nodded: "It's time."

After speaking, he got up and walked to the bench.

Seeing this, the director, who had been paying attention to the Chinese team's bench, quickly ordered to cut the live broadcast to the camera signal that was always facing the bench.

So all the fans watching the live broadcast saw Lippi walking up to Gao Zheng, shaking his head at him, and Gao Zheng stood up from the bench.

"Ahhh! Is Gao Zheng about to appear?!"

"Didn't it mean that Gao Zheng couldn't play?"

"No, forcibly let Gao Zheng, who is still not well, play in the game, what if he is seriously injured again?"

The Chinese fans were really brainwashed by the revelations of those sports reporters. They really thought that Gao Zheng's body was not strong enough to support the game, thinking that Lippi was being forced into a hurry, and put all his eggs in one basket, regardless of whether Gao Zheng's body could bear it or not. , to force Gao Zheng to play.

Amidst their wailing, Lippi put his arms around Gao Zheng, then covered his mouth with his hand and whispered something in Gao Zheng's ear.

A smile appeared on Gao Zheng's face, and then he nodded and covered his mouth with his hand, not knowing what to say.

"I don't know what Lippi said, but Gao Zheng laughed after hearing it..." The commentator He Ping naturally also noticed this situation.

In fact, what Lippi said was: "Isn't it very meaningful to use the victory to commemorate your first game back from injury?"

Gao Zheng smiled: "The game is not over yet, coach."

The Italian old man is really confident.

"Did you forget that request?"

"Where can I forget this?"

"So, now is the time for you to play, this game must be won!"

"Don't worry, coach. This game must be won!"

Gao Zheng repeated, and then took a step forward to the fourth official, ready to appear.
