Prominence in Football Community

Just two days after Atlético Madrid were eliminated from the King’s Cup, the Chinese team ushered in their last match in the Asian Cup.

Three or four finals against the UAE.

As the West Asian team, the UAE is one of the few Chinese teams that can dominate the history of confrontation.

After all, Saudi Arabia and Iran, the traditional strong teams in West Asia, are the main victims of Chinese football.

However, in the UAE, the Chinese team is still somewhat confident.

In the history of the Chinese adult national team and the UAE have played eleven times, the record is five wins, four draws and two losses, the results are superior.

The last time the Chinese team played against the UAE was in a friendly match in 2011, when the Chinese team defeated the UAE 2:1.

The last time the Chinese team lost to the UAE went back to the friendly match in 1993, the Chinese team lost to 1:2.

Despite the nature of the friendly game, in the official game, the Chinese team and the UAE played a total of six times, the Chinese team won four games, one draw and one loss, occupying an absolute advantage.

In addition, this is not the first time the Chinese team has played against the UAE in the Asian Cup.

The last time the two teams played in the Asian Cup was exactly the same as it is today, also in the third or fourth finals.

It was also the 1992 Asian Cup in Japan. The Chinese team and the UAE met in the finals of the third and fourth places. After the penalty shootout, the Chinese team defeated the UAE and won the third place in the Asian Cup.

Thirteen years later, the two teams met again.

Today's Chinese team has Gao Zheng. At the same time, Cai Hui and Zheng Zhi, who were suspended before, have returned to the lineup. The Chinese team has all the main forces and strives to gain third place.

Although the third place is not the best result of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, but since the local Asian Cup in 2004, the Chinese team can not even pass the first round of the knockout, let alone take the third place.

For today's Chinese football, the third place in the Asian Cup is already a remarkable result.

Although they have Gao Zheng, no matter how strong Gao Zheng is, he can't turn the Chinese team into Asia's top strong team.

Just like Portugal has a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal hasn't even won the European Cup until now, and the World Cup qualifying rights have to play with Sweden in play-offs.

So superstars are not everything.

There are still a lot of people watching the game between the Chinese team and the UAE, and the attention is very high, but the game itself is not as exciting as the game of the Chinese team and the Korean team.

The Chinese team took the lead in the sixteenth minute, and Gao Zheng scored for the Chinese team.

This is his eighth goal in the Asian Cup. Although he has definitely won the best scorer in the Asian Cup, no one on the shooter list can threaten him, but he did not stop his pace.

Although the UAE evened the score in the 28th minute.

But the second half completely entered Gao Zheng's performance time.

He scored twice in the 51st minute to help the Chinese team once again lead the score.

Assisted Gao Lin in the 57th minute and changed the score to 3:1.

This score has been maintained until the midfield.

When the head referee blew the whistle at the end of the match, He Ping shouted: "The game is over! The Chinese team defeated the UAE in the third and fourth finals 3:1 and won the third place in the Asian Cup. Congratulations! Right guys in China! Anyway, this result is already the only honor that Chinese football can win in the darkest era!"

Later, the TV broadcast to Gao Zheng's close-up shot, looking at Gao Zheng's appearance in the close-up shot, He Ping said with emotion: "The reason why the Chinese team can achieve such results, Gao Zheng contributed. And after playing this three four In the semifinals, he will bid farewell to the national team tomorrow morning and fly back to Spain alone. Atletico Madrid have just been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Kings Cup, highlighting the importance of Gao Zheng. As a club and national team Important players who are inseparable, I hope that Gao Zheng can take a good rest, do not have injuries, and be healthy. After all, starting in June, the Chinese team’s 2018 World Cup Russia Russia qualifying journey will begin. We need a healthy Gao Zheng, take care of our bodies!"

Xu Yang laughed: "In fact, from the Asian Cup, Gao Zheng has already contributed to the World Cup qualifiers-we finally won the third place in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team can participate in the world as a seed team The draw for the top 40 of the preliminaries."

On the commentary table, He Ping and Xu Yang glanced at each other, and they both knew what the other meant, but they didn't say what they were saying, because they were afraid that it would not work.

That is based on the performance of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup this time, and the rest of the time will be well-run, come up with a more mature tactics, firmly with Gao Zheng as the core, there may be surprises in the World Cup qualifiers.

Maybe this time we can really reach the World Cup finals again?

They look forward to it, but they dare not talk about this topic.

Although he didn't make it to the finals, he finally got a third place, plus the victory against the South Korean team, which brought the third Chinese team back to Beijing when they were greeted by thousands of fans at the airport. .

In addition to fans, there are countless media and leaders.

This scene is often seen in the news after the Olympic champions return home after the Olympic Games.

How can the Chinese football team enjoy such treatment?

So almost every Chinese team player was obviously not comfortable when he just saw this scene.

Someone even whispered: "Are they here to welcome Gao Zheng?"

Wu Lei, who was next to him, didn't look at who was saying this, but these words made him lost.

In fact, the media has long reported that Gao Zheng will not return to the country with the team, because he has to rush back to the "savior", without him, Atletico Madrid has just been eliminated in the King's Cup, and then face the Madrid derby.

So their team and Gao Zheng broke up at the Australian airport. Gao Zheng flew back to Spain by himself, and they took the opportunity to return home.

While at the airport, Gao Zheng walked first, and they walked afterwards, so they also sent a trip to Gao Zheng.

In the terminal, everyone collectively bid farewell to Gao Zheng. Gao Zheng waved at them and turned to pull the suitcase into the security channel.

Wu Lei still remembers the picture clearly: beside him, the teammates playing on the national team discussed how to play after returning home. It was very lively. After taking the third place, everyone was very happy. But Wu Lei looked at Gao Zheng's back, but suddenly felt that figure was very lonely.

He went to Europe alone, not waiting for his holiday, but the fierce and brutal La Liga.

I can't rest at all, so tired.

But Wu Lei was a little envious of Gao Zheng.

Because he went to another new world that is completely different from domestic football, where there are the best players in the world, there are the most technical games in the world, there is huge pressure, but there is also huge room for improvement, and glory .

If you can, who doesn’t want to go to Europe to play?

Perhaps, except for those who do not have their own strengths, they would feel better to stay and play in the country. After all, they earn much more than they do in Europe.

But as long as there is a pursuit of football, they should all go to Europe.

He thought of what Gao Zheng said to himself before leaving—he once again emphasized that he wanted Wu Lei to go to Europe to play, because "at least he has a companion."

Not to mention, if he also went to Europe to play football, it is now two people flying to Europe together, which is really a companion.

If you go to Europe, you will miss today's grand welcome ceremony at Capital International Airport. Look at the enthusiastic fans and reporters, and the leaders have laughed at the flowers... What a rare scene.

But if you can really play in Europe, miss it.

Wu Lei had such an idea in his mind.

He wanted to go to Europe, never like it now.
