Chapter 689: Whose home is it?

Gao Zheng flew directly from Madrid to Shenzhen. As soon as he came out of the cabin and stepped on the trestle, he was confused by the oncoming heat wave.
In just one second, he felt himself covered with a film of water all over his body, even in his nostrils and alveoli.
He went a few steps further, and finally felt the coolness from the air conditioner, and the sticky feeling on his body faded.
In fact, he is not unfamiliar with this kind of feeling, because the place where he stayed before is similar to the climate in Shenzhen, and the air humidity is very high.
But not unfamiliar does not mean you like it.
He will not get used to this feeling every time he comes.
I feel that three baths a day is not enough.
He was particularly curious when he knew that the Chinese team had arranged home games with the Hong Kong team in Shenzhen. I wonder if the brains of the leaders of the Football Association were also covered with a film of water...
Shenzhen!
Just across the river from Hong Kong, neither climate nor food is much different from Hong Kong.
So is this the home of the Chinese team or the home of Hong Kong?
He feels that the players on the Hong Kong team may be more adapted to the climate of Shenzhen than they are...
To say that at the beginning, because I wanted to go to the Maldives to play away, so I arranged the home stadium in Shenzhen, in order to shorten the trip. The problem is that now Maldives has no home, next we are going north to Shenyang to play against Maldives. So why not adjust the host of this match against Hong Kong?
Gao Zheng heard that the reason why the Football Association did not replace the home game with the Hong Kong team is because the tickets for this game have already been sold out. If the venue is temporarily changed, they will compensate the fans for their financial losses. The Football Association is not willing to lose this money, and feels that the strength of the Hong Kong team, even if they are more adapted to the climate here, may not be the opponent of the Chinese team.
So they decided to continue the game in Shenzhen.
To put it bluntly, is to stumble and despise the Hong Kong team.
I feel that even in Shenzhen, I can beat my opponent.
※※※
But when the game started, everyone realized they were too optimistic.
The Hong Kong team of China, taking a bus to play away games, is indeed more adaptable to the sultry and humid weather of Shenzhen than the Chinese team.
Facing the Chinese team, the Hong Kong team of China put up a bus in front of the door.
It's easy to understand, for them to play away, the draw is completely acceptable, even if the game gives up the offense is justified.
So at the beginning of the game, the Chinese team attacked with full force and hit the wall built by the Hong Kong team in China.
Although the Chinese team's offensive is fierce, their chances are not very good in front of the defense of the Chinese Hong Kong team Chen Cheng.
In addition, the Chinese team's luck seems to be too bad-ten minutes after the opening, Gao Zheng returned, Zheng Zhi's right foot shot outside the penalty area hit the post on the left side of the goal. Just one minute later, Zheng Zhi sent a straight stop from the front of the penalty area. After Wu Lei passed the goalkeeper in the penalty area, he pushed his right foot into the empty goal. After that, there was a slight line change, and then hit the door post on the right to pop up...
"Ahhh! Two consecutive goalposts! The Chinese team's offense was blocked by the goalposts!" The commentator Liu Hong shouted angrily.
He had a hunch in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it-two consecutive shots were blocked by the goal post. Is this a bad sign?
You know, this is our home court, but the goal of our home court is not on our side...
The development of the next game seemed to gradually confirm Liu Hong's bad thoughts.
In the thirty-sixth minute, the Chinese team countered after stealing the ball. Wu Xi sent a precise overpass in the frontcourt. Gao Zheng, who inserted the ball, directly fell to the ground and fired the ball. As a result, the football hit the left goal post again. !
In the forty-fourth minute, I saw that the first half was about to end. The Chinese team's continuous offensive created chaos in the restricted area of ​​the Hong Kong team in China. The Hong Kong team's players did not play well and the football fell to the top of the penalty area. Zheng Zhi received there, followed by a long shot from the right foot.
But this foot hit the beam!
"Ah--! The fourth time! The fourth goal post! The Chinese team's home goal prevented our goal four times in a row!" Liu Hong issued a soul-touching question: "Is this our home?" "
This question sounds very unreasonable, but in fact, it may actually accidentally tell the truth-although the schedule is the home team of the Chinese team, from the player's performance, this may be more like Hong Kong, China Home.
After all, there is only one river between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and the climate is the same. The distance between Hong Kong players in China and China is much closer than that of the Chinese national team. Hong Kong players in China may not feel like they are playing away.
So they are very confident when defending, and their tactical discipline is very good.
It seems that the goalpost helped Hong Kong, China four times in the first half, but besides that, their defense was also well organized.
In particular, they did not give Gao Zheng too many opportunities in the first half.
From their defense against Gao Zheng, it can be seen that Hong Kong, China really did a lot of homework before this game. The defense is very strict, completely separating Gao Zheng from the other players of the Chinese team.
Wherever Gao Zheng takes the ball, there will be three players from the Hong Kong team around him, using both hands and feet to stop him.
Gao Zheng's best chance in the first half was when his foot shot, and he hit the door frame.
In this way, when the first half of the game was over, the Chinese team and Hong Kong were still 0:0.
This score naturally dissatisfied the Chinese fans.
After all, with the strength of the Chinese team, the victory should be locked in the first half. As a result, the Chinese team still has the possibility of losing to the Hong Kong team.
After the halftime break, the Chinese team was still on the offensive, and this time the Hong Kong goalkeeper Ye Honghui came out to grab the limelight.
In the 54th minute, Gao Zheng took a long shot near the top of the penalty area and the ball was lifted by Ye Honghui with a single palm.
Then Ye Honghui began to delay the time, with the boos of Chinese fans, he put the football on and off until the referee showed him a yellow card.
A minute later, Gao Zheng made a cross on the right side of the penalty area, and Wu Lei, who followed in the middle, pushed the football with his right foot and raised the crossbar.
Then Zhang Linpeng crossed from the right, Gao Zheng jumped the header and Ye Honghui held the crossbar with one hand.
Three minutes later, the free kick taken by Gao Zheng was also punched out by Ye Honghui. Zheng Zhi stopped the football with his chest outside the penalty area and directly volleyed, hitting high.
Then the offensive of the Chinese team slowed down because of the physical problems of the players.
The sultry and humid weather is obviously more adaptable to the Hong Kong team players, they seem to be more at ease, and the Chinese team players have greatly reduced their speed when they need to fight for the ball.
Hong Kong even had a chance to fight back. In a counterattack in the 70th minute, striker McGee hit the football high. Although it didn’t score, and it’s ridiculously high, it surprised the Chinese fans in cold sweat-this is just the beginning, the first time there is the second time, this time we are lucky, they played high, then Next time?
※※※
Just before the TV and Chinese fans on the scene began to feel anxious, the deadlock was finally broken.
In the 73rd minute, Gao Zheng stopped his teammate's pass in the penalty area and turned to shoot.
Ye Honghui, a Hong Kong goalkeeper who performed well this time, was helpless. Although he made a save, he failed to touch the football.
Gao Zheng's turn-around shot had some unreasonable meaning. At that time, four Hong Kong players from China surrounded him. Gao Zheng ignored them completely, first stopped the flying ball with his right foot, and then volleyed his left foot while turning around.
Because his line of sight was completely blocked, Ye Honghui's fighting action was obviously slow.
"Gao Zheng!!! Gao Zheng! Beautiful!!! Beautiful!!! This is the key goal!!!" Liu Hong shouted his arm on the commentary. His previously suppressed emotions can finally be vented.
Not just him, all Chinese fans in front of the scene and in front of the TV jumped up and cheered.
Gao Zheng's ball is like opening a pressure relief valve.
Although this goal came a little late, it is better than not to be late-this is everyone's mood at this moment.
※※※
Ye Honghui is lying on the ground, and like him there are several other players from Hong Kong, China. Although the game is not over yet, looking at their performance at this moment, it is as if the referee has blown the final whistle.
In fact, their performance in this game is already very good. The defense against Gao Zheng can be said to be very successful. Considering their strength, it is even more valuable to be able to do this.
But unfortunately, there is still a gap in strength, otherwise their defense will not be penetrated by Gao Zheng.
Even Liu Hong praised the fighting spirit shown by Hong Kong players.
Of course, he has this leisurely praise for his opponent, also because Gao Zheng scored to help the Chinese team to lead. Otherwise, Liu Hong would not be so elegant.
※※※
In the end, with the goal of Gao Zheng, the Chinese team defeated Hong Kong, China 1:0 at home, and achieved two consecutive victories in the top 40, but this did not help the Chinese team become the first in the group.
The first in the group is Qatar.
Despite the first group match, Qatar only beat the Maldives 1-0 away, but in this group match, they beat Bhutan 15:0 at home and saved enough goal difference. In the case of six points with the Chinese team, became the first in the group.
Although the Chinese team won Hong Kong, China, they only got a goal difference, which put them in a temporary disadvantage when they competed with Qatar for the first team.
