"...Because Syria beat Qatar 3-1 at home in the penultimate round of twelve, the situation of the Chinese team is still not optimistic. They not only have to win Qatar in the final round, but also pray for Uzbekistan Neither Syria nor Syria can win big scores even if they win. It seems that whether it is Uzbekistan or Syria, it is difficult to beat their respective opponents, especially Syria. Their final round is to challenge the Iranian team on the road... …"
"...But Iran has already qualified early, and their appearance after making it early makes it very difficult to give them any hope. From the perspective of the game, Iran, which has advanced early, has obviously relaxed. And Iran and Syria are both Western Asian teams. Ghost knows if there will be any underground trades at that time? Never underestimate the dirtyness and darkness of West Asian football. In order to kill the Chinese team, the Iranian team might dare to lose to Syria at home. And also It’s just staring at the game between the Chinese team and Qatar. If it’s not too much, it will ensure that Syria has one more goal difference than the Chinese team..."
"Currently in the goal difference, the Chinese team has two goal difference, Syria is zero. The goal difference is two ball lead, but this is not enough. I think if the Chinese team last game and Qatar If you want to play, try to win as many as possible...I don’t believe Iran really dares to lose to Syria at home!
Although the Chinese team defeated Uzbekistan, the dark clouds that enveloped all Chinese fans have not dispersed.
At this time, everyone did not care much about the results of the South Korean team and Uzbekistan. They were more concerned about the results of the game between Syria and Iran.
At the same time, South Korean media and fans also began to pay attention to this game.
Because if they lose to Uzbekistan on the road and Syria wins Iran at the same time, the South Korean team, the Chinese team and the Syrian team have 14 points and have a better goal difference.
The Chinese team now has two goal difference, Syria has zero goal difference, South Korea lost one.
As long as the South Korean team loses, the goal difference will only become fewer and fewer, definitely not more and more.
In this way, as long as the South Korean team can lose to Uzbekistan, it will definitely be eliminated, even without the qualification for the play-offs.
The South Korean team, who was originally considered to have no difficulty in qualifying for the World Cup and was definitely able to take part in the World Cup, was forced to the edge of the cliff. This is really unthinkable to many Korean media and fans.
In the final round of the Twelve Finals, the situation in this group is complex.
※※※
After finishing the game with Uzbekistan, the next day, the Chinese team flew to Doha to prepare for the final twelve match with Qatar.
In an interview with Gao Zheng at the airport, he appeared very confident: "I don't care about the other two games because the situation is more favorable to us now."
Unlike the media's worries, Gao Zheng believes that the situation is more powerful for the Chinese team: "Because it is very simple, we only need to score as many goals as possible to win, as long as we can win by a large score, then no matter the other two games It doesn’t matter what the outcome of the game is, whoever wins or loses, we will all qualify for the play-offs."
A reporter wanted to remind Gao Zheng that the road ahead was dangerous: "But it is difficult to win a big score on the road to win opponents..."
"We do our best." Gao Zheng smiled and waved his hands, waved off the reporters, and turned to the security checkpoint.

After finishing the last training at the Caliph Stadium, the Chinese team returned to the hotel where they stayed for dinner.
In order to prepare for this game, the Chinese Football Association specially stayed from the domestic chef team, they also brought a lot of Chinese ingredients, just to ensure that in the days here, the Chinese team players can get used to it.
There is no problem with eating.
Of course, these things do not necessarily meet the health standards of athletes' diets in everyone's mind.
But it is too cruel to require athletes to eat white water boiled chicken all the time.
While paying attention to nutrition, we must also pay attention to psychology. After all, the eating habits of Chinese people from small to large are partial to the Chinese style. Forcing Chinese players to eat exactly according to the Western style will cause the players to have no appetite at all and do not want to eat.
The result is that when you eat dinner in the restaurant, everyone pretends to eat it, eats it casually, and returns to their room to start boiling blisters of instant noodles...
It is said that instant noodles are junk food, but the Chinese Olympic champions did not eat this kind of "junk food", nor did they prevent them from competing for gold and silver.
Gao Zheng just sat down with the dinner plate and was ready to eat, and saw the captain Zheng Zhi also came over with the dinner plate, and then asked him: "Is there anyone next?"
Gao Zheng shook his head: "No."
"Can I sit down then?" Zheng Zhi asked again.
"Okay."
Zheng Zhi put down the dinner plate and sat down opposite Gao Zheng.
"Thank you." The first sentence after he sat down was this.
"Captain, you are here again..."
"I just think it's not enough to say it again."
"Then you didn't know what you said to me two or three times. It's really unnecessary. You are too polite. The World Cup is the goal of all of us, and I am also for myself." Gao Zheng said.
"Then I want to thank you too."
"The last game hasn't been played yet, and even if we get the qualification for the playoffs, we have to play two games with Australia or Saudi Arabia first. After playing, we have to play with the North and Central American teams... Skimming." Gao Zheng waved his hand.
"I want to thank you regardless of whether you can make it to the World Cup at the end. At least this time we fight to the last moment. Since I joined the national team, this is the first time I have had such an experience." Zheng Zhi laughed.
Gao Zheng couldn't laugh.
The captain emerged in 2002 and got a Chinese footballer, but he was out of luck. He made it in the second half of the year and failed to catch up with the last train of the World Cup.
At that time, the captain might think it was nothing. He was so young. He got a Chinese footballer at the age of 22, and his career has just begun. The Chinese team has once again entered the World Cup historicly. The football boom in the whole society will surely make Chinese football better and better. But he has just caught up with the golden age of Chinese football. His future will surely be ambitious.
I didn't take part in the World Cup this time, so I will take part in it next time.
Any idea that he caught up was not the golden age of Chinese football, but the dark age.
Since the Chinese team defeated Syria 3:1 in the Bahrain Four Nations game on December 7, 2002, Zheng Zhi has played 97 games for the national team so far, only three games away from the 100-game mark. In the next game against Qatar, it was only two games away.
However, of these 97 games, none was the World Cup, nor was it the final 12 of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers.
Not only did he miss the World Cup, he didn't even play in the top twelve.
A national football icon, a well-deserved core and captain, has not even played in the top twelve.
This is really incredible.
In the darkest time of Chinese football, it can even be said that Zheng Zhi is the only face of Chinese football. He won the honor of an Asian footballer when Chinese football was the worst. This is after Fan Zhiyi won this award in 2001, there is a Chinese player.
Many people scolded him because he "kicked" Sissy's leg. Many people scolded him because he kicked the penalty against Hongkang, which caused the Chinese team to fail to reach the top ten.
But so many people scolded him, and later did not scold, because they found that only Zheng Zhi was left in Chinese football...
They are scolding this only pillar.
The captain born in 1980 had just finished his 37th birthday.
Before this, which professional Chinese players can still play for the country at the age of 37? Which one can still be the core of the Chinese team's midfield at this age?
Before finding a successor, he has been struggling to support.
In this kind of arduous trek, he still has the dream of participating in the World Cup deep in his heart.
Not for Chinese football, but for himself, to give an explanation to the younger self.
So why did Gao Zheng rush to return to China to participate in the top 12 against South Korea? Why is it necessary to sing a counter-attack with the team medical team of Atletico Madrid?
Because he knew that he shouldered the dreams of many people, there were Zhao Bureau, old men, and captains.
"You can rest assured, captain, we will definitely participate in the World Cup. Your hundred national team games can not be messed up." Gao Zheng said.
If all goes well, the last game of the Chinese team in the Asian play-offs will be the 100th game of the captain.
That game will determine whether the Chinese team is eligible to compete with the North and Central American teams for the final World Cup quota.
"Thank you." Zheng Zhi said with a smile.
Gao Zheng didn't have any condoms this time.
