After today's training, Gao Zheng participated in a warm-up match against Palestine with the team.

Unlike Perrin's frequent starting lineup in the previous warm-up matches, Perrin's starting lineup this time is considered by domestic media to be the main force with practical significance. If nothing unexpected happens, this lineup should be the main lineup of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup.

Even if there is a writing position to be adjusted, it will be fine-tuned and will not adjust the entire main framework.

For example, Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi play double midfielders, this combination should have been fixed.

What everyone is most concerned about is the arrangement of the attack lineup.

Gao Zheng must be the main force that cannot be defeated, so who will partner with him?

Perlan gave the answer that Gao Zheng was at the forefront as the center, and Wu Lei was ambushing behind him as the shadow striker. Gao Lin sat on the bench.

In this game, the Chinese team's warm-up opponent Palestine also entered the main match of this Asian Cup, which is their first time in history to participate in the Asian Cup.

So they took this warm-up match very seriously from the Chinese team, completely different from the Thai team.

After the opening, Palestine played very proactively and did not shrink its defense just because it was weaker than the Chinese team in terms of strength.

However, their state did not last long, after all, there was still a gap in strength.

The Chinese team gradually gained the initiative through frontcourt pressing.

The Chinese team took the lead in the 24th minute, and Gao Zheng assisted Wu Lei to break the deadlock.

Watching the two people hugging each other to celebrate the goal made many Chinese fans in front of the TV sigh.

Thinking about the two of them debuted one after another, and won praise and expectations from fans one after another. Wu Lei first became the youngest league player in Chinese football, and Gao Zheng then shone brightly on the AC Milan Youth Team.

At that time, everyone was looking forward to seeing these two talented young men be able to fight side by side in national teams and lead the Chinese team to the World Cup finals.

Even if we compare them with each other, it is because we love each other deeply and hope that the two can form a partner.

But unexpectedly, luck made people so badly that Gao Zheng's serious injury disappeared, making the cooperation between the two of them so many years before they came. It was not until 2013 that Gao Zheng was selected for the national team for the first time and became a teammate of the national team with Wu Lei, wearing the same jersey.

And this will also be their first joint participation in an international competition.

The once highly anticipated Golden Boy combination has not been formed until now. Think about it, if Gao Zheng was not injured at the beginning, maybe Chinese football would not be just a spectator in the 2014 Brazil World Cup just now...

After scoring the goal, the Chinese team took the initiative in the first half and kept rushing to the Palestine defense line. Even if Palestine occasionally counterattacks, most of them fell into the offside trap.

However, the Chinese team did not take advantage of the victory and strive to score more goals and have a big victory.

For the Chinese team, even if it is 10:0 in this last warm-up match, it doesn’t make much sense to play 10:0. Using the opponent to test the effect of various tactical combinations is the way to maximize benefits.

According to Perrin's pre-match arrangement, after leading Yixue, the Chinese team consciously reduced their dependence on Gao Zheng's shots, and changed Gao Zheng to the organizer. After attracting the opponent's defensive attention, he passed the football more to his teammates and let them shoot and score.

I have to say that this change does not require too high a requirement for Gao Zheng, and the tests are all on his teammates.

Gao Zheng created many opportunities for his teammates, but his teammates failed to seize it.

Seeing that the Chinese team has not scored again, commentator Duan Xin raised his question: "What about others except Gao Zheng? I think the Chinese team should not rely too much on Gao Zheng. We cannot once Gao Zheng is stared at by someone, our offense will be deadlocked, right? The thunder is loud and the rain is small. It seems that there are many attacks, but there are few threatening shot opportunities. You must know that Palestine is not a strong team. They rank 113th in FIFA. And every team we encountered in the Asian Cup is better than them. I think Perrin should still solve this problem well..."

By the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, and the Chinese team only led by one goal.

The Chinese team still played like this in the second half, Gao Zheng attracted the opponent's defensive attention and then passed the football to his teammates.

But not everyone can get to the right position, and not everyone can seize the opportunities that Gao Zheng created for them.

Wu Lei was able to run to the position, but his last kick was really terrible.

Zheng Zhi can cooperate with Gao Zheng, but he is a midfielder after all, so he can't frequently go forward and attack, right?

So the match between the Chinese team and Palestine became a collection of various waste opportunities in the national team, which reminds people of the game in which the Chinese team played against Saudi Arabia at home in the Asian Cup qualifiers.

In that game, Gao Zheng was restricted by Saudi Arabia and was forced to change his role, from an offensive terminator to an organizer, passing the ball to his teammates.

But as a result, a group of international players presented a "bread spitting highlight" to everyone, just not eating the cakes that Gao Zheng fed to his mouth.

In the end, Gao Zheng took the battle himself and broke the deadlock with one shot.

At that time, the head coach of the Chinese team was still interim coach Fu Bo. Now it seems that although the head coach was changed, foreign coach Perrin was unable to fundamentally solve this problem.

When there were sporadic booing in the stands, Perrin made a tactical adjustment and no longer asked Gao Zheng to make a ball for his teammates, but instead put Gao Zheng in the main attack direction again.

Even if Palestine defends Gao Zheng strictly, it will use Gao Zheng's personal ability to tear the Palestine's defense line.

The effect will be immediate after adjusting the tactics.

Gao Zheng became active again, and even if Palestine double-teamed him, it would be difficult.

In the 67th minute, Gao Zheng finally scored a goal in this game.

There was a thunderous cheer on the scene, and sporadic booing sounds disappeared.

The pressure that had lingered above the heads of many Chinese players was immediately swept away, making the international players feel refreshed.

※※※

Gao Zheng's goal not only gave the Chinese team a two-goal lead in the score, but also liberated the internationals and helped them relieve the pressure.

The rest of the Chinese team's players performed better next time because they were more relaxed.

Finally, before the end of the game, Gao Lin, who came on the bench, locked the score for the Chinese team at 3:0.

The Chinese team ended all their games in 2014 with a complete victory, and next we are going to set off for Australia to prepare for the Asian Cup.

Although the process in between was a little tortuous and caused dissatisfaction among the fans, the final result was good, so everyone was not so concerned.

There is a saying that works well in the football world, that is: "What is a good ending is a good thing."

As long as you can win, nothing is a problem.

As for the situation where other players are weak, this is not the first time. Chinese fans have long been used to it. They have not expected Gao Zheng to lead the entire team to break through to the Super Saiyan realm since then.

The biggest highlight of this Asian Cup was originally Gao Zheng's personal performance.
