Fans across the country are very concerned about Gao Zheng's return to participate in the national team competition.

For this reason, Anshan held the competition, and many hotel rooms in the city became nervous. You should know that this is not the National Day Golden Week.

These people came from all over the country just to see Gao Zheng play football.

The Chinese team's poor performance in previous games made them pin their hopes on Gao Zheng. They hope that Gao Zheng can bring immediate changes to the Chinese team after he returns.

However, to these people’s disappointment, Gao Zheng, who was very popular, did not appear in the Chinese team’s lineup against Kuwait.

He sat on the bench!

"...I think head coach Perrin might have considered that Gao Zheng had just rushed back from Madrid and was tired all the way and his physical condition was probably not in the best, so he let Gao Zheng sit on the bench..." commentator Liu Hong guessed. He was not surprised when he got the list, but was very disappointed.

He could understand the hardships of Gao Zheng coming back from a long-distance flight, but he still hoped that Gao Zheng could get there.

Not only the commentator Liu Hong was disappointed, but the fans who watched TV broadcasts across the country and those who rushed to Anshan for this game were also disappointed.

The TV broadcast frequently targeted Gao Zheng, who was sitting on the bench. He wrapped in a cotton jacket and sat on the bench with his teammates, with his normal expression and no one could tell anything unusual.

The broadcast footage was pointed at head coach Perrin again.

The French coach had a serious expression and watched the game on the court with concentration.

In this game, Perrin adjusted the Chinese team's lineup and played 343. He did not play Gao Zheng on the front line, but chose another high center forward, Yang Xu, Gao Lin and Wu Lei, to form a forward line combination.

I have to say that after the previous three warm-up matches, the Chinese team performed well in the first half of this game, and everyone created a lot of opportunities in the face of Kuwait, who was not strong.

But he has always been in power but has not scored points.

In the 35th minute, the Chinese team also received a penalty kick, but in this game, Gao Lin, who wore the captain's armband, took the penalty kick, was saved by Kuwaiti goalkeeper Arcadi.

After this penalty kick, the Chinese fans in the stands finally couldn't sit still and began to shout: "Switch Gao Zheng!"

But amid such calls, Perrin was still unmoved and had a calm expression.

Liu Hong joked: "The stadium was filled with a shout of Gao Zheng, but Perrin was unmoved. Of course, this is a very independent head coach and will not change his mind easily. For example, he did not recruit Zheng Zhi for three consecutive periods, and it seemed that he thought Zheng Zhi was too old... But at present, no one in the domestic midfielder can beat Zheng Zhi..."

In fact, it would be fine if you don’t score a penalty kick alone. The Chinese team can still score goals with so many opportunities.

As a result, at the end of the first half, Kuwait won a corner kick, and they used this corner kick to score, which in turn broke through the Chinese team's goal!

"Oh! The Chinese team missed someone while defending!" Liu Hong shouted regretfully. "The Chinese team conceded the ball when the first half was about to end! This is really bad..."

The booing and the shouting of "changing Gao Zheng" in the stands became even louder.

The TV broadcast cut the camera to Gao Zheng when the Kuwait players celebrated. After finding out that he lost the ball in the Chinese team, he and his teammates all picked up their heads with regret.

As for Perrin, his face finally became less good this time.

He seemed to realize that if Gao Zheng was not replaced, things would probably become uncontrollable.

So during the halftime break, Gao Zheng did not stay on the court like other substitutes, and the assistant coach took the warm-up, but followed the players back to the locker room.

The reporters and audience members noticed this and became excited.

"Gao Zheng is going to appear!" This news quickly spread throughout Anshan Olympic Sports Center.

In the locker room, after criticizing the player's performance, Perlan made a substitution adjustment, and he replaced Yang Xu with Gao Zheng.

When Gao Zheng knew that he was about to be replaced, his expression seemed calm and composed.

But in Perrin's eyes, Gao Zheng's calmness and calmness seemed to reflect a kind of fearlessness. This made Perrin think a little too much, would he have been thinking about seeing me make a fool of himself?

But Perrin quickly drove this idea out of his mind, which was too naive.

Judging from his contact with Gao Zheng over the past few days, Gao Zheng is still a very easy person to contact.

Because the substitution was made during the half-time break, Yang Xu did not play at all after the start of the second half, and Gao Zheng had already replaced him and stood on the court.

The fourth official raised a sign on the sidelines and told the fans and the TV broadcast: The Chinese team substitution, Gao Zheng, No. 9, came on the court, and Yang Xu, No. 27.

The fans who saw this scene cheered loudly, and they finally saw the scene they had been looking forward to.

In fact, this kind of cheer was a harm to Yang Xu who was replaced, but no one cared about his thoughts at this time, even the CCTV commentator. Liu Hong was saying, "Gao Zheng is on the field!" When he said, "The whole tone became different, his voice was octave higher, which made people feel energetic.

Yang Xu probably won’t have any ideas. Even if he has, no one cares about it...

There is no way, who asked the substitute to appear on the bench is Gao Zheng.

Although Gao Zheng is very young, in terms of his achievements in football, everyone in this national team is not as good as him. The reason why the Chinese team can prepare for the Asian Cup is entirely because of Gao Zheng. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether the Chinese team can reach the Asian Cup finals.

Gao Zheng's change on the field was very immediate. In the 53rd minute, Wu Xi broke through in the right rib of the penalty area and made a cross. Gao Zheng leaned against Kuwait's central defender in the penalty area, then turned around and shot. The football crawled between the legs of Kuwait goalkeeper Arcadi and rushed into the goal!

"Gao Zheng! The ball is in! Beautiful! He equalized the score for the Chinese team! It can be seen that Gao Zheng's physical condition is very good and there is no sign of fatigue in the journey. He just made the shot by leaning against Kuwait defender Ali. When he was physically fighting against the opponent's defender, he was not at all inferior!"

The Olympic Sports Center in Anshan finally burst out with the biggest cheers of this game.

Some fans pointed at Perlan, who was also celebrating the goal and shouted: "Will you just let Gao Zheng be finished?"

※※※

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng smiled and hugged his teammates with a high-five and celebrating the goal. He was not very excited, but his teammates were very excited.

His goal sounded the clarion call for the Chinese team to counterattack.

The main reason is that he gave the Chinese team a clear direction when attacking in the frontcourt. He knew who to pass the football to. If he didn’t know who to pass it to, then pass it to Gao Zheng, that’s right!

In the 64th minute, Gao Zheng received a cross from his teammate Feng Xiaoting in the penalty area and shot. Kuwait goalkeeper Arcadi took the opportunity to make a comeback during the save, giving Yu Hanchao, who had just come out of the bench, a chance to make a shot. Yu Hanchao volleyed from the side and the football flew into the Kuwait goal again.

2:1, the Chinese team overtook the score!

Although this time it was not the goal scored by Gao Zheng, no one would think that the goal had nothing to do with Gao Zheng.

However, just when the Chinese team was preparing to make a big move and win at home, Ren Xing received his second yellow card in this game because of pulling a Kuwait player in a defense and was sent off with a red card.

The Chinese team, which was one less, suddenly became passive, while Kuwait had a morale battle and planned to equalize the score.

The fans of the Chinese team watched this period were frightened, although it was a warm-up match and a friendly match, no one wanted to see a failure.

Fortunately, the Chinese team withstood Kuwait's fierce offensive this time and gradually took the initiative after the 85th minute.

In the 90th minute, Gao Zheng retreated and sent a long pass to help Wu Lei fight a quick counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Wu Lei quickly rushed to Kuwait's penalty area, passed a defensive player, and then shot the football into Kuwait's goal, completely killing the game.
Chapter completed!
