Xu Xin still chose to pass the ball. He passed the ball to the captain Zheng Zhi, and he took out a ground ball with his left foot, drawing a C-shaped arc on the lawn, cleverly bypassing Kim Young-kwon and

Zhang Yuning.

It accurately landed in front of Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi almost had a last confrontation with Li Qinglong on the line of the penalty area.

The two people still couldn't push each other away, but Zheng Zhi was able to kick the ball!

I saw the arch of Zheng Zhi's left foot pushing up against the ball, and the shot was quite decisive.

Li Qinglong could do nothing more and could only watch the ball roll towards his own goal.

Standing on the goal line, South Korean goalkeeper Kim Sung-kyu couldn't tell which way Zheng Zhi shot when he shot. As a result, when the ball flew against the turf toward the lower left corner of the goal, his reaction was still slow.

Half a beat.

Zheng Zhi aimed the shot at the lower left corner of the goal, and the force was exerted on the inside of his left foot. Although the ball speed was not fast, the angle was tricky enough.

In the end, when Korean goalkeeper Kim Sung-kyu lay down on his side, the ball had already flown under his armpit. He had no time to save the ball and the ball went into the net.

The stadium boiled instantly. It was louder than ever before, and the Chinese fans were very excited.

The reason is very simple, because it was shot by Zheng Zhi.

The same is true for Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu.

"Zheng Zhi!"

"Zheng Zhi! The great Zheng Zhi!"

"He completed the fourth goal of the Chinese team. Before the end of the first half, he rewritten the score to 4:3. What I didn't expect was that it was him who completed this goal. It was really unfortunate.

It’s easy. He, who is about to turn 39, was actually able to run all the way from the backcourt to the opponent’s penalty area and complete a fatal blow!”

"Old soldiers never die, they just wither away!"

"Zheng Zhi is a veteran in football and an evergreen tree in football. His role on the court is no worse than anyone else. He has now used his goals to prove that even though he is 39 years old, he can still continue to fight.

, just can score goals!”

"Lian Po is old, can he still make a living? For Zheng Zhi, the answer is no!"

This time, even Luo Wu excitedly rushed up from the backcourt. When he counterattacked just now, he didn't run forward, he just passed the ball to Zhang Yuning, but now after seeing Zheng Zhi score, he also became crazy.

Who wouldn't be excited? This is Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi scored a goal. What a great moment.

Luo Wu finally jumped on Zheng Zhi's back, and other teammates also rushed over crazily, all looking very excited.

Even Zhang Linpeng ran up, leaving Yan Junling standing on the goal line with his arms raised in celebration.

The surrounding Korean players were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes. Our goal was actually scored by a 39-year-old veteran who rushed up from the backcourt. It was really embarrassing.

South Korean fans have been scolding them. Of course they are quite familiar with Zheng Zhi. When Zheng Zhi was at his best, it was he who led the China Evergrande football team to defeat the Korean team in the AFC Champions League.

To be able to score a goal against South Korea at such an advanced age is a joke.

"It's really intolerable. It's really intolerable. An old man actually scored a goal. What on earth are these guys doing!"

"Are you just taking a walk? Look at Zheng Zhi, I really can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it!"

"Even if I went up to kick, I wouldn't let Grandpa Zheng Zhi rush to the penalty area and shoot. What on earth happened!"

South Korean fans have forgotten the wonderful performance of South Korea's players before, and now blame them for all the goals conceded.

They are forgetful and harsh. Now that the Korean team is falling behind, they feel even more ashamed.

It looked like the game was about to end, but the ball was lost again.

How can this be explained? Zheng Zhi just scored the goal. He rushed up from the backcourt, participated in the attack, and then completed the final blow.

The score became a cruel 4:3. The Korean team finally fell behind for the first time, while the Chinese team took the lead for the first time.

The process was painful, but the result was perfect, even though it was only the first half. And the time came to the 45th minute. The fourth official started to raise the stoppage time sign at the side of the court, adding two minutes of stoppage time.

What can we do in these two minutes? Nothing can be done. As long as China's Gou is in the backcourt, it is impossible to give the Korean team a chance to equalize.

The Portuguese Pinto finally became angry. He looked up at the sky fiercely, as if he wanted to blame God? God had played a huge joke on him.

His team worked hard for 45 minutes and tried their best, but the result was this.

Anyone who puts it in their heart will feel uncomfortable, and anyone who puts it in their heart will feel angry.

This isn't fair.

Yes, Pinto felt unfair.

Then he wanted to vent his anger on Luo Wu. At least he stared at Luo Wu's back again. He felt that all this was caused by Luo Wu. If Luo Wu had not intercepted the ball from Son Heung-min's feet and passed the ball to the front

, this ball does not exist.

Everything was caused by Luo Wu.

On the other hand, Lippi, the coach of the Chinese team, is standing on the sidelines of the court, clapping his hands crazily. He wants to give applause to his favorite player, this legend of Chinese football, this veteran who is fighting on the front line.

He proved with actions that his hiring was correct. Before the start of the Asian Cup, when Zheng Zhi's name entered the Chinese team's roster again, many people criticized Lippi, but Lippi still ignored all the opinions.

He recruited it.

Zheng Zhi is one of the best midfielders in the Chinese team, so this was a last resort. And the facts proved that Lippi's decision was right.

He really hopes that Zheng Zhi can stay a few years younger and continue to compete in the next World Cup.

beep,

The referee's whistle finally blew. In the last minute or so, the Korean team could not advance to the Chinese team's penalty area to complete the shot. The Chinese players held on to the victory.

At halftime, the Chinese team temporarily led the South Korean team with a score of 4:3.

The expression on Zhan Jun's face finally relaxed, and then he sighed repeatedly: "Oh, I really don't know what words to use to describe it. It was such an exciting half, and the score of the game was both expected and unexpected, and the last thing I expected was

It’s Zheng Zhi, his performance is really wonderful, if he were a few years younger, that would be great, maybe he can participate in the next World Cup.”

Amid the cheers of the fans, Zheng Zhi happily walked off the court surrounded by his teammates.

After returning to the locker room, Lippi couldn't help but praise Zheng Zhi.

And regard Zheng Zhi as a model to inspire the team.

"We all saw our captain crush the Korean team's dream with a goal."

"I always say that in a real competition, there is no team that cannot be defeated. We have defeated the Korean team before, and we defeated them by a big score, but today's Korean team is the real Korean team in terms of strength.

We are still ahead of them."

"This shows that we can do well. Although our defense is very poor and our personal abilities are not as good as our opponents, we have a strong will and determination to win. These are all reflected in the captain. I hope

Everyone must learn from him.”

"But we can't always let him stand up, and we can't always let Luo Wu stand up. We need more people to stand up. In the second half, I believe the game will be more intense. I also believe we still have people who can stand up and be able to

Bring us more surprises!”

"But I must criticize the defensive end. Our defense has not improved and is still so bad. I think some of the things I said before and some of the defensive tactics we have failed to do will hinder us from going further.

This is just an Asian competition. What will we do if we get to the European competition or the world competition? This is far from enough. Even if we win the Asian Cup in the end, it doesn't mean anything."

Lippi unceremoniously criticized the team's defense. Although he did not criticize anyone by name, everyone knew it must be Zhang Linpeng, this terrible guy.

At this time, Zhang Linpeng could only hang his head and listen feebly. He really did not dare to raise his head. But at the age of thirty, he had already listened to what he could listen to, and that was what he couldn't listen to.

If the Chinese team didn't have a good defender, how could Lippi still have him with him?

After the training, Luo Wu and Zheng Zhi sat down together, and Luo Wu couldn't help but start teasing.

"Captain, did you take expired pure medicine? Otherwise, why would you be so good at running? To be honest, by that time, I could barely run physically. What supported you to keep running forward?"

"Will, absolute will. When I saw that no one came up to respond, I just gritted my teeth and rushed forward. I happened to find that the Korean team's defense was very empty. I felt that if Zhang Yuning could top the ball, then maybe I would

I was able to catch the ball, so I rushed forward."

"But to be honest, I am really exhausted. I really feel that I am getting old. Although I can still play for seventy or eighty minutes easily, if the pace of the game is too fast, I still feel that I can't handle it.

Alas, maybe I can’t wait until 2022.”

"Hey, don't think too much. Even if you can't play for that long, it's not a problem to play as a substitute for twenty or thirty minutes. You absolutely can't retire so soon. In my opinion, even if you are playing in Europe now

Qiu Qiu is also capable of playing as the main force. Even if he can't play as the main force, he can come on as a substitute. You are the best midfielder in the history of the Chinese team." Luo Wu quickly consoled him.

He didn't compliment Zheng Zhi, he really thought that Zheng Zhi was so awesome.

You can definitely keep playing.

"Actually, I'm not depressed, haha. I just realized that I am old. I realized from the bottom of my heart that I am old. If I play in the Chinese Super League, I can still play for a few years. If I play outside, it will definitely not work.

.Okay, don’t worry about me. You should work harder in the second half and score more goals. I found that you were actually lazy in the first half. If you don’t think of ways to attack and want to score goals, why are you running behind to defend? But

To be honest, your defense is also very good. Sometimes I even wonder if it would be terrible if you played as a defender? At least in the midfield position, I know you are also top-notch. I watched your game at Arsenal and you

It’s a good position to play.”

Then Zheng Zhi secretly lowered his voice and said something in Luo Wu's ear: "Actually, you are much better at playing than some of their defenders. I can't compare to you at all. You don't think this is sarcastic, but what about this?

I can't say it."
