Prominence in Football Community

The performance of the Chinese team against the Chinese Hong Kong team was not good, and it attracted a lot of criticism from fans and the media after the game.

Critics believe that the Chinese team is too underestimated.

In fact, there is such a reason-the Chinese team thought at the beginning that this simple style of play could break the Hong Kong team's goal, and they lacked the mental preparation to bust the Hong Kong team. The result is that they are a little helpless in the face of Hong Kong's stubborn defense.

Of course, this is only one aspect of the reason. It is wrong to say that the Chinese team's small victory over Hong Kong is all because of underestimating the enemy.

After all, a football game is a sport in which many factors come into play. The result of a game has never been determined just because of the performance of the players on the field.

Pre-match preparations are also very important.

But it is obvious that the Chinese team did not do well in this regard, and the pre-match preparations were not as good as the Hong Kong team.

So after the game, the Korean head coach of the Hong Kong team, Kim Pankun, said at the press conference that he thought losing the game was an unfair result for his team, after all, they were prepared to the extreme in all aspects.

But he also said that when the two sides play in the next round, when the Hong Kong team is at home, their goal will no longer be a draw, but a victory.

Finally, he did not forget to ridicule the organization of the Chinese Football Association. He thanked the Chinese team for choosing Shenzhen as their home stadium, because it made his team feel like they were playing at their own home stadium. Such a short distance saved the team from traveling. Tired from running around, no need to adapt to the weather anymore, kicking like a duck to water.

The Korean coach's words made the Chinese reporters who were in a bad mood because they only won one goal very upset.

But what they said is correct. The organization of the Chinese Football Association in this game can be described as chaos.

After the match against Hong Kong, China, Gao Zheng went to Shenyang with the Chinese team to prepare for the match against the Maldives.

At that time, when the home court in the Maldives could not be used, the Chinese Football Association conducted a domestic bidding, and Shenyang and Jinan signed up. In the end, the Chinese Football Association chose Shenyang. Because Shenyang had just played a national youth team game before this game, the venue does not need to be re-prepared.

But Shenyang is also farther away from Shenzhen...

After only one goal win over Hong Kong, China desperately needs more goal difference, so the Maldives are a good target.

This time it is a home game again. The Chinese team has one and only one task in this game, and that is to get enough goal difference from the Maldives.

In the end, the score of this game was 5:0. The Chinese team finished three games and won all three games, but the goal difference was only 13.

In this round of the group stage, Qatar defeated Hong Kong, China 3:2 in an away game. It also won all three games, but the goal difference was as many as 17.

From this point of view, the Chinese team's five-goal victory over the Maldives at home is still unsatisfactory.

Of course, no one would criticize Gao Zheng. He completed a hat-trick in this game, along with an assist. It can be said that he is the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's five-goal victory over the Maldives. Without Gao Zheng, the Chinese team would have struggled even to play against the Maldives. So the Chinese media generally had a kind of worry after the game, worrying that Gao Zheng would not be able to lead the national team...

But Gao Zheng was very optimistic. Before he left China and returned to Madrid, he said to the reporters: "Goal difference? I don't care about this. We haven't had a direct dialogue with Qatar. The goal difference is useless. Yes. For me, no amount of goal difference can compare to points."

The implication is that as long as the Chinese team can beat the opponent in the game against Qatar and take the lead in points, then the goal difference is not important at all.

But the Chinese fans have no confidence in this. After all, judging from the strenuous performance of the Chinese team playing against Hong Kong at home, it may not be easy to beat Qatar...

The match between the Chinese team and Qatar will be next month, on October 8, the Chinese team will challenge Qatar away.

This game is very important. When the goal difference is not as good as the opponent, if the Chinese team loses to Qatar in the away game, even if they win at home, they will inevitably enter the stage of the goal difference competition, and this is not good for the Chinese team. Case.

And if the Chinese team can beat Qatar away, it will gain the upper hand in the competition with Qatar.

Or at worst a draw.

After the game against the Maldives, Gao Zheng flew back to Madrid, leaving behind all the problems left to Chinese football by these two games. He is just a player, and many issues are beyond his turn to consider, and it is useless to consider them. All he can do is play well and give his best every time he comes back to play.

After returning to Madrid, he will usher in a tough battle - the third round of the league, Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona at home.

This is the second meeting between the two teams after the Spanish Super Cup.

It is also a coincidence that Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup last season, and they met Real Madrid in the third round of the league.

The same is true this season, their opponents in the third round of the league are also the opponents they defeated in the Spanish Super Cup.

This makes this game full of revenge. After all, the Spanish Super Cup has not passed long, and Barcelona has not forgotten it. I will definitely try my best to fight Atletico Madrid.

Especially since this game is the home court of Atletico Madrid, it will definitely make Barcelona feel emotional, remembering how they lost the league title at this stadium last season, and how they were overwhelmed by Atletico Madrid in the first round of the Spanish Super Cup Eight yuan, was beaten helplessly.

However, Gao Zheng opposed the reporter's hype of "revenge". After returning to Madrid, he said this in an interview with reporters: "I don't think there is such a thing as revenge or not. It doesn't matter if a game is over. What is the result, the past is the past. How to get revenge? Can Barcelona beat us in the next league, can they regain the league title and the Spanish Super Cup that they have lost? Of course it is impossible, the title is lost Once it is lost, it is lost, and no matter what happens afterwards, the previous champion will never be found again."

When Gao Zheng said this at the beginning, the reporters thought he was trying to cool down the tense atmosphere of the two teams, so they played down the term "revenge". At the end of the hearing, Gao Zheng found out which pot was not opened and which pot to pick up. He specially picked up Barcelona's wounds, and then sprinkled salt in public...

This is simply trying to anger Barcelona!

Everyone looked at Gao Zheng's sincere expression, wondering whether he didn't realize the effect of what he said, or did it on purpose at all...
