Chapter 341 Must win the game

When the Chinese team players appeared, they did not hear tsunami booing, only some sporadic booing. This is not because the Indonesian fans are polite. But because there were 500 fans on the scene. Some of them were fans of the Chinese team.

You should know that the home court of the Indonesian national team, the Gorolapeng Kano Stadium is a famous devil's home court. Every game, nearly 90,000 fans will flood here, creating a huge momentum. The crazy Indonesian fans make this stadium a problem stadium while becoming the home court of the devil.

In the Asian Cup qualifiers in March this year, Saudi Arabia met with Indonesia here, and Indonesia finally lost 1:2. After the game, the disappointed home team fans threw fireworks into the stadium. This led to the AFC's new and old accounts of the Indonesian Football Association, and also included the riots of home team fans in the u22 Asian Cup qualifiers held in Indonesia in July last year. The two cases were punished together, and the Indonesian team was severely punished that one spectator was not allowed to enter the stadium to watch the game in the next two home games.

In the end, after the struggle of the Indonesian Football Association, the AFC was relieved and allowed 500 fans to enter the stadium, including 450 VIP and VVIP spectators sitting in the private room to watch the game. The remaining fifty tickets were given to Chinese fans.

Because of the small number of places, the tickets are extremely expensive. VVIP's ticket is 3.5 million IRR, which is about 2,500 RMB, and the ticket price of VIP is 2.5 million IRR, which is about 18 million RMB.

Those fanatical and extreme fans often don’t have much money, so this fare basically shuts out all the fans who are best at creating a home atmosphere.

In this game, Indonesia's most terrifying home court was basically destroyed by the AFC.

The Chinese team plays here without any pressure.

This is also why domestic media and fans think that the Chinese team should win in this game. First of all, Indonesia is not strong, secondly, Indonesia's devil's home advantage is gone because of the AFC's punishment. Thirdly, because the great man has just visited Indonesia and expressed his concern for the development of football in China and Indonesia in his words. Therefore, the away treatment of the Chinese team this time is also very good. The hotel they stayed in is the best and the food is the most delicious. Even the training grounds use the Indonesian national team's own training grounds, and training is also given priority. The Indonesian national team arranges their own training based on the training time of the Chinese team...

With so many favorable factors put together, how can the Chinese team not win?

But this kind of natural victory is also a huge burden - since everyone thinks you should win and you will definitely win, why can't you win?

It's like a penalty kick.

Why do people generally recognize that the penalty kick is not the skill, but the will. Because of the fact that the penalty kick is the easiest method to score, many people who stand on the penalty kick are under tremendous pressure. After all, it is natural to score a penalty kick, and it is your problem if you can't score...

For those who watch the game, Indonesia without spectators has a great advantage over the Chinese team at home.

But for every player who walks into the stadium, he will only find it strange and will not be secretly happy.

The stadium was too quiet, which made them very uncomfortable.

Gao Zheng looked around privately. Although there were fifty Chinese fans who came to watch the game, their voices also seemed very clear in the air-conditioned stadium. However, the atmosphere was still far from a normal game.

In a trance, he thought he had come to the game of Sampdoria reserve team.

In fact, for professional players, the warm atmosphere on the scene can help them get excited as soon as possible.

If the atmosphere is too cold, it will inevitably make people feel a little unpleasant.

But then again, the previous situation was for ordinary professional players. For those top professional players, this external factor is difficult to affect them.

Considering that the Chinese team had Gao Zheng in this game, the Indonesian team, who played at home, adopted the defensive counterattack tactics.

Southeast Asian teams are actually very suitable for defensive counterattacks because their players have relatively good personal abilities and fast speeds, and are good at counterattacks.

As long as you can withstand the Chinese team's attack with strict defense, after the Chinese team is impatient, it will be an opportunity for Indonesia to counterattack.

In fact, Indonesia's head coach Jackson Thiago is very confident about this.

Before the game started, there was so much good news for the Chinese team, and China was very optimistic about the Chinese team's away defeat to Indonesia. I believe that the Chinese team players themselves think so.

Then when the game begins, once the Chinese players with this mentality find it difficult for them to break through the Indonesian goal, their mentality will begin to become unbalanced, become restless, and their performance will also decline.

By then, it will be the turning point for the Indonesian team to reverse the situation.

Although Gao Zheng mentioned not to underestimate the enemy in an interview at the airport, Thiago felt that on the one hand, this is likely to be a polite statement. On the other hand, even if Gao Zheng really thinks so, he alone cannot represent the entire Chinese team.

Thiago is also very clear about what Chinese football is. After all, he has coached in Southeast Asia for a long time and has heard of the development of football close to China.

This team had lost 1:5 to the Thai team, which had the youth team as its main team.

He is not as arrogant as Indonesian fans and does not expect to defeat the Chinese team 8-0. He will be satisfied as long as he can win 1-0 at home.

※※※

Gao Zheng was not surprised that Indonesia would use defensive counterattack tactics. He didn't even care about what tactics Indonesia used, just kicked at his own pace.

As long as you do your best, you don’t have to worry about others.

Not long after the game started, Gao Zheng made a long shot outside the penalty area. The muffled sound of the football echoed in the open stadium, which was particularly clear, as if a heavy hammer hit the drum.

However, the shot hit high and did not threaten Indonesia's goal.

Indonesian head coach Jackson Thiago snorted on the coach's seat, with heavy thunder and little rain, which is OK to scare people. If you want to score a goal... You can see that the Chinese team is already in trouble, and there is no better way except long-range shots.

But this will make Indonesian players more at ease because they know that the Chinese team can't do anything to them.

Just when Jackson Thiago was thinking this way, Gao Zheng pulled out of the penalty area and retreated to catch the ball.

Then he turned around and passed one of the Indonesian players who came to defend him and dribbled the ball towards the Indonesian goal.

Just after he took two steps, he suddenly swung his foot and shot while running!

This time, it was not a powerful and heavy volley, because it was suddenly kicking while running, but it was actually a rubbing shot!

The football drew a very obvious arc, flew high across the crowd in the penalty area, and bypassed Indonesian goalkeeper Verawan. The goalkeeper, who was only 1.80 meters tall, was powerless to Gao Zheng's shot that was running towards the dead corner, and could only watch the football fly into the goal he guarded!
