The Chinese team's performance against the Hong Kong team in China was not good, and it attracted a lot of criticism from fans and media after the game.

Critics believe that the Chinese team underestimated the enemy too much.

In fact, there is such a reason at the beginning of the game that the Chinese team could break through the Hong Kong team's goal with this simple style of play, and lacked the mental preparation for the Hong Kong team to set up a bus. The result was that they were at a loss in the face of Hong Kong's defensive defense.

Of course, this is only one reason. It is wrong to say that the Chinese team beat Hong Kong with just one goal because it is underestimated.

After all, football matches are a sports event where many factors work together. Never determine the outcome of the game just because of the players' performance on the field.

Pre-match preparations are also very important.

But it is obvious that the Chinese team is not doing well in this regard, and the preparations before the game are not as good as those of the Hong Kong team.

So after the game, the South Korean head coach of Hong Kong team, Kim Sung-kun said at a press conference that he believed losing the game was an unfair result for his team, after all, they were prepared to the extreme in all aspects.

However, he also said that when both sides play in the next round, when the Hong Kong team is at home, their goal will no longer be a draw, but a victory.

Finally, he did not forget to mock the organizational work of the Chinese Football Association. He thanked the Chinese team for choosing Shenzhen as the home court, because this made his team feel like they were playing at their own home court. Such a close distance allowed the team to avoid the fatigue of running around the journey, and no longer had to adapt to the weather, and played like a fish in water.

The words of the Korean head coach made the Chinese journalists in a bad mood very unhappy because they only won one goal.

But what they said is correct. The organizational work of the Chinese Football Association in this game can be described as confusion.

After playing against Hong Kong, Gao Zheng followed the Chinese team to Shenyang and prepared to play against the Maldives.

At that time, when the Maldives could not be used at home, the Chinese Football Association held a bid in China, and Shenyang and Jinan signed up. In the end, the Chinese Football Association chose Shenyang. Because Shenyang had just played a national youth team game before this game, the venue did not need to be prepared again.

However, Shenyang is also farther from Shenzhen...

After winning only one goal from the Hong Kong team, the Chinese team urgently needed more goal difference, so the Maldives is a good target.

This time it is home games again. The Chinese team has only one task in this game, that is, to get enough goal difference from the Maldives.

The final score of this game was 5:0. After three games, the Chinese team won all three games, but the goal difference was only thirteen.

In this round of group stage, Qatar defeated Hong Kong, China 3-2 away, and also won all three games, with as many as 17 goals.

From this point of view, the Chinese team's five-goal home victory over the Maldives is still not satisfactory.

Of course, no one will criticize Gao Zheng. He completed a hat trick in this game and also had an assist. It can be said that he is the biggest contributor to the Chinese team being able to defeat the Maldives by five goals. If Gao Zheng had not been able to, the Chinese team would have struggled even to play the Maldives. Therefore, Chinese media generally have a concern after the game, worried that Gao Zheng could not lead the national team...

But Gao Zheng was optimistic. Before leaving China and returning to Madrid, he said to reporters: "Goal difference? I don't care about this. We have not had a direct conversation with Qatar. Goal difference is useless. For me, no matter how many goals are, it is not as good as points."

The implication is that as long as the Chinese team can defeat the opponent in the game against Qatar and take the lead in points, then the goal difference is not important at all.

But Chinese fans have little confidence in this. After all, judging by the performance of the Chinese team playing Hong Kong at home, it may not be easy to defeat Qatar...

The match between China and Qatar will be next month. On October 8, the Chinese team will challenge Qatar away.

This game is crucial. If the goal difference is worse than the opponent, if the Chinese team loses to Qatar away, even if they win home, they will inevitably enter the stage of competing for goal difference, which is a disadvantage to the Chinese team.

If the Chinese team can beat Qatar away, it will gain the upper hand in the competition with Qatar.

Or the worst is a draw.

After playing against the Maldives, Gao Zheng flew back to Madrid and left all the problems left to Chinese football in the past two games behind. He is just a player, and many problems are not his turn to consider, and it is useless to consider them. All he can do is to play well every time he comes back to participate in the game and show the best performance.

After returning to Madrid, he will usher in a tough battle in the third round of the league, with Atletico Madrid facing Barcelona at home.

This is the meeting again between the two teams after the Spanish Super Cup.

It's a coincidence that Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup last season and met Real Madrid again in the third round of the league.

And this season is the same, their opponent in the third round of the league is also the opponent they defeated in the Spanish Super Cup.

This makes this game full of revenge. After all, the Spanish Super Cup has not been long since passed, and Barcelona has not forgotten it. They will definitely work hard to fight Atletico Madrid.

Especially in this game, Atletico Madrid's home court, it will definitely make Barcelona feel moved. I remember how they lost the league championship in this stadium last season, and how they were beaten to the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, and they were beaten to no avail.

But Gao Zheng opposed the reporter's hype of "revenge". After returning to Madrid, he said this in an interview with reporters: "I don't think there is any statement of revenge or not. After a game is played, no matter what the result is, the past will pass. How to take revenge? Can Barcelona defeat us in the next league, and they can regain the lost league championship and the Spanish Super Cup championship? Of course it is impossible. If the championship is lost, it is lost. No matter what happens later, the previous championship will not be found."

When Gao Zheng first said this, the reporters thought he wanted to cool down the current tense atmosphere of the two teams, so they downplayed the statement of "revenge". As a result, they finally found out that Gao Zheng was not opening the pot, and he specially picked up Barcelona's wounds and spread salt in public...

This is simply trying to anger Barcelona!
