Chapter 2 Disadvantages of being a teacher
In the 74th minute, the Chinese team launched an attack from the wing, and Hao Junmin switched the football to the right side of the penalty area. South Korean team's full-back Wu Jae-shuo did not kick the football far when he cleared the ball.
The football fell next to Gao Zheng who was ambushed in the penalty area. He stretched out his long legs and hooked the flying football over, then shot with his feet, stopping and shooting. The whole set of movements was very coherent, and he did it in one go, without giving other Korean players in the penalty area a chance to react.
When they realized it, Gao Zheng had already shot!
The force of this high slam shot was heavy, and the football flew towards the Korean team's goal like a cannonball.
Although South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong fell to the ground and touched the football, the ball hit him and jumped into the goal!
"Gao Zheng!!!" He Ping cheered loudly. "Good ball!!! The Chinese team scored a goal!"
"The hero stood up!" Xu Yang was also very excited. "The Korean team neglected a little in the defense and seized this opportunity for Gao Zheng!"
The Seoul World Cup Stadium sent a sporadic boo, and the boo was naturally given to Gao Zheng.
In South Korea, Gao Zheng’s image is not very good. The scene of eliminating the Korean team in the Asian Cup made many Korean fans feel uneasy.
In addition, in the current competition for the number one Asian football player, their hero Son Heung-min is suppressed by Gao Zheng, and Korean fans have already felt angry.

After scoring the goal, Gao Zheng did not celebrate, but instead asked his teammates to pick up the football and go back quickly.
Now that I am still two goals behind, I will at least get a draw in this game.
Wu Lei rushed into the goal, picked up the football, and ran back.
Gao Zheng is right, look forward, the game is not over yet.
He really has a way!
He recovered a lot of confidence in his heart.
After the game restarted, the morale of the Chinese team, which regained a goal, increased greatly and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Korean team's goal.
The Korean team didn't know if there was a physical problem or if they were too relaxed before, but now they can't get tight for a while.
Faced with the impact of the Chinese team, they were in a hurry and looked very embarrassed.
In the 76th minute, Wu Lei dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and was tackled by South Korean defender Zhang Xianxiu. He received a yellow card himself, and the Chinese team also got a free kick opportunity with a good position.
"The opportunity for the Chinese team is here!" Seeing this scene, He Ping's voice was octave higher and he said excitedly.
He knew that Gao Zheng had the ability to score a free kick.
Sure enough, after Gao Zheng pulled Wu Lei up from the ground, he stood at the free throw spot with the football in his arms.
The Koreans became nervous and booed in the stands.
Amid the booing, Gao Zheng leaned over to place the football.
※※※
The Korean team's human wall was finally built, with as many as eight people, and except for the goalkeeper, only two people were not in the human wall.
The eight-man wall blocked two-thirds of the goal, and the remaining one-third was guarded by goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong.
But in front of Gao Zheng, this is useless.
After the referee whistle sounded, he helped him run.
After the football crossed the top of the far left side of the human wall, it rushed straight to the goal near the upper corner!
That is the farthest place to go from goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong.
So even though Zheng Chenglong strides hard to get over, it is too late. He jumps up in vain and fails to stop the football.
The ball drilled into the goal between the goal post and the crossbar!
"The second ball is here! Hahahaha!" He Ping laughed happily. "Gao Zheng scored twice! The Chinese team is only one ball behind the South Korean team 2:3!"
"Gao Zheng! It's still up to Gao Zheng when he is in a desperate situation! The Chinese team also scored two goals in three minutes, and he got the color back!"
The Korean commentator was wailing: "I've lost the ball again! Gao Zheng! There's nothing I can do!"
The booing at the Seoul World Cup Stadium briefly broke for about a second when the football flew into the goal, and then rang again, making it even more violent.

Xiao Yingying jumped up in front of the TV and cheered: "There is hope! There is hope! Sister Feng, we still have hope!"
"Yes, as long as you don't give up, there is hope." Feng Shiyao smiled.
This person became a hero again...
※※※
"We have only one goal behind in the game, and we have the hope of equalizing the away game...
…” He Ping also said, “Come on, grit your teeth and hold on, the guys of the Chinese team! You must know that there is something wrong with the South Korean team’s physical fitness! They were too excited before and played too hard…”
"Yes! The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road! At this time, we must be that 'brave one'!"
Every Chinese fan in front of the TV is looking forward to the Chinese team completing an amazing reversal when they are three goals behind.
Even if it is not a real reversal, as long as you can tie the opponent, it is an amazing victory and can be regarded as a "reversal"!
Perlan also quickly made a substitution, replaced Sun Ke with Gao Lin, lined up the lineup of three forwards, and made a last-ditch effort.
The South Korean team was obviously panicked by Gao Zheng's two balls within three minutes. Now it was their turn like the Chinese team before, making mistakes and in a mess.
"If this continues, you won't be able to continue. Be careful of losing the ball!" The Korean commentator said anxiously without caring about the possibility of being scolded by Korean fans.
But in fact, whether he said this or not, everyone can see that the Korean team may even concede the goal.
After being blocked by them for 74 minutes, Gao Zheng released all the energy he had urgently needed before, and the Korean team could not stop him.
Now his defense against Gao Zheng is obviously not as good as before, and Wu Lei has also recovered his confidence. His off-ball run and counterattack speed make the Korean defenders have a headache.
This is a La Liga forward combination!
Gao Zheng just helped Atletico Madrid win the Champions League last season, which was at its peak.
If you continue to play like this, the Chinese team can really equalize the score while falling behind by three goals!
But the game did not go on like this.
※※※
In the 84th minute, the midfielder Park Changji, who had just been replaced, collided with Gao Zheng in a fight. Although Gao Zheng had already dodged for a while, he still did not dodge this clearly was for someone else.
When it landed, Gao Zheng twisted his right knee and then fell to the ground.
The referee's whistle sounded.
But what is more harsh than the whistle is the booing on the scene.
Korean fans cursed Gao Zheng who was procrastinating time while pretending to fall, but they didn't need their pitiful minds to think about it. They were only one goal behind. The counterattack situation was very good. Why did Gao Zheng delay time?
Gao Zheng did not get up, but covered his knees with pain with his hands.
"Park Changji was a deliberate foul! Gao Zheng was hit hard, but he didn't get up, and the situation was a little bad..." He Ping said in the end, his voice was already very small.
His heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't dare to continue talking.
Gao Zheng had been attacked and fell to the ground before, but he still had his first encounter with his knees with such painful expression. This was so unusual.
"No?" Xiao Yingying exclaimed in front of the TV, and then she heard something coming from the coffee table beside her falling to the ground.
She turned her head to see that Sister Feng had already stood up from the sofa. She ran into the snack box on the coffee table. The box filled with various nuts and snacks was buckled on the ground, and the snacks were spilled all over the floor.
※※※
On September 1, 2016, in the first game of the top 12 match of the Chinese team, they lost to the South Korean team 2:3 while falling behind by three goals. The team's main core Gao Zheng was seriously injured.
