Chapter 177 Sun Xingmin's Consciousness
At this time, Son Heung-min was indeed looking at Gao Zheng, who interacted with fans in the distance with a very complicated mood and eyes. Bookmark this site
He held his energy before this game and wanted to compete with Gao Zheng.
He knew what South Korea had to think about this game. Although he denied the "revenge" statement, he really wanted to find Gao Zheng to take revenge.
He felt that he was in very good shape today, and he had a strong sense that he could score in this game.
But the first half was almost over and his goal did not come.
However, Gao Zheng has scored twice.
In order to curb Atletico Madrid's aggressive attack, Leverkusen adopted a very crazy foul tactic in this game: So far, Atletico Madrid, known for its tough style, has only made a foul once, and Leverkusen has made nine fouls, four of these nine fouls were used on Gao Zheng. For this reason, Spašic also received a yellow card and will miss the next game if there is another one.
Under such high intensity defense, Gao Zheng still completed two goals, turning Leverkusen's defense indifferent.
Where is yourself?
Of course, he also encountered the key defense of Atletico Madrid defenders, after all, he is the only arrowhead in Leverkusen's attack now.
But Atletico Madrid didn't even make a foul on him, so he couldn't score.
This gap is judged immediately.
When Gao Zheng celebrated the goal, Son Heung-min was particularly disappointed.
He seemed to see a huge gap between himself and Gao Zheng, which is very difficult to cross.
Anyone who faces this huge gap in strength will feel timid and thinks, "Forget it, why bother yourself?"
Son Heung-min almost had this idea in his mind, but he quickly strangled the idea to death in his heart.
South Korean player Son Heung-min is a person who refuses to admit defeat.
He and his compatriots were sent to the German Hamburg Club for training. He had a poor language, poor diet, and was far away from home and homesick... These became difficulties that hindered them from gaining a foothold in Germany.
Several teammates who came with him left one after another, but in the end he was the only one who stayed and successfully gained a foothold in Hamburg.
Just because he is a person who refuses to admit defeat, for him, those difficulties are objective and are indeed great difficulties.
If it were ordinary people, these difficulties could be their reasons for giving up, and it would be reasonable and no one would criticize them.
But Son Heung-min is unwilling to bow down to these difficulties and admit defeat.
He strives to improve his language, change his living habits, and make himself closer to those real Germans, both in body and in mind. Living in Germany is like living in Korea.
On the court, he focused on training and won the recognition of German coaches and teammates with better performance, so that they no longer looked at themselves with prejudice.
In the end, he broke into his own world in Germany.
He has also become a representative figure in Korean football after Park Ji-sung.
All he had to do was to surpass his predecessors, Park Ji-sung, Cha Bang-gen and others to become world-class Korean players.
At this moment, he met Gao Zheng.
Son Heung-min seemed to be back to the situation when he first came to Germany. Huge difficulties lie ahead of him. Should he surrender or give in, or grit his teeth and fight to the death?
Son Heung-min chose the latter.
Gao Zheng is indeed very powerful, and this has been fully verified in the Asian Cup. Not only in the game against the South Korean team, but in the entire Asian Cup, he was the player with the most goals, and his number of goals far exceeds that of the second place in the scorer list. So much so that although the Chinese team did not win the championship, the final Asian Cup Best Player Award was awarded to him, and there was no controversy at all. Even the host Australian media did not complain about their Cahill.
Gao Zheng has become a top-notch star in Asian football, and he is the only one in his own right.
In front of him, he, as a "top Korean star", seemed not enough to see.
But in front of such a powerful opponent, Son Heung-min suddenly found the motivation to continue to struggle.
He wants to defeat Gao Zheng and surpass Gao Zheng.
When he really did it, seniors like Park Ji-sung and Cha Bang-gen will naturally be surpassed by him...
He raised his head again, his eyes filled with a glimmer of determination.
The first half is about to end. In the second half, he will let Gao Zheng see his enlightenment in the second half!

The commentator and commentator of Korean TV stations are now super awkward.
Because they were still bragging about Son Heung-min before, they insisted on detrimental situations as favorable conditions for Son Heung-min.
When Atletico Madrid is pressing heavily, it is when Leverkusen fights back.
Atletico Madrid did put up a big push, but Leverkusen had no chance to fight back at all.
Moreover, before Son Heung-min had time to score, Gao Zheng scored twice.
Faced with such a situation, the two Koreans didn't know what to say for a moment, so nearly ten seconds of silence appeared in the TV broadcasts watched by Korean fans, which was embarrassing.
After silence, they could only push the blame to Leverkusen's defense: "How can Gao Zheng shoot in the middle with almost no one to guard the ball? How can he be so unserious!"
There was a kind of blame for Leverkusen's "hate to the iron but not the steel" in his tone, as if he thought that Leverkusen had dragged their Son Heung-min back.

During the break, Leverkusen head coach Schmidt was encouraging his players.
Originally, the overall score was ahead, but now it has become a backward, which will cause the players to suffer a lot. Moreover, the team's tactic is to play defensive counterattack, but now the score is behind. How to play defensive counterattack?
The players will definitely be shaken by continuing to execute the head coach's tactics.
Schmidt must make tactical adjustments, and at the same time, make players regain confidence in tactics.
The defensive counterattack is definitely not allowed to continue playing. If you continue to play like this, Leverkusen will definitely be eliminated.
So you must be bolder and choose more adventurous tactics.
Although he no longer plays defensive counterattacks, Son Heung-min will still be the main firepower point for Leverkusen's offense.
Schmidt had high hopes for Son Heung-min.
"Your speed is the best weapon to break through their defense. As long as you have a chance in the second half, you can firmly move forward!"
Son Heung-min nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, coach! I won't let you down!"
Schmidt was very satisfied with Son Heung-min's attitude. He said to all the players: "Although we are one goal behind, please remember that we are away games. As long as we can score a goal, we can take the initiative back into our own hands! So it's not time to give up yet! We have a full forty-five minutes!"
Chapter completed!
