Al Saleh looked at Gao Zheng who fell to the ground with an incredible look.

He did push Gao Zheng, but he was 100% sure that the power of the push was not enough to make Gao Zheng fall to the ground with such a scream.

It’s like friends greeting each other and gently tapping their chests. Will friends fall to the ground and fall into a coma while covering their hearts?

But no matter whether he believed that he could easily push Gao Zheng, the referee's penalty had been made.

"Hey? Penalty?! Penalty!! Penalty!!" He Ping was stunned at first, then saw the referee's gesture clearly, and shouted excitedly. "Gao Zheng was pushed to the ground by Al Saleh in the penalty area. The referee decisively called him a foul! This was indeed a foul, and there was no doubt that it was 100% foul!!"

He Ping said so sure, but he hasn't even watched the slow-motion replay.

He didn't care whether Gao Zheng was a fake fall. To put it bluntly, even if it was a fake fall, he stood firmly on Gao Zheng's side at this time.

Football is a war in peacetime. Since it is a war, I don’t stand on my own side of my motherland and I stand on the opponent. Am I a traitor?

If it is an ordinary friendly match, it is a key game that concerns whether the Chinese team can advance to the World Cup. Everyone should know who they should support at this time.

Not to mention that Saleh really pushed Gao Zheng, how did the French team eliminate Ireland in the play-offs? Henry's handball assists can be seen clearly through TV broadcasts.

Now I can only say that Gao Zheng fell a little exaggeratedly, but it cannot be said that Saleh did not meet Gao Zheng, because Gao Zheng was born out of nothing...

He Ping has a firm position in this regard and a high level of awareness.

So when he watched the slow motion replay of multiple angles, he said with certainty: "Saleh had a pushing move, and there was no problem with the penalty! He did push Gao Zheng!"

As for whether Gao Zheng would be pushed down like this... he doesn't care.

The rules do not say that the opponent's player must be pushed to the ground to be considered a foul.

※※※

Saleh felt very wronged, and he ran to the referee to protest: "I just touched him lightly and would never let him fall! He was pretending to fall!"

However, the referee did not listen to his defense, but insisted on his own opinion and did not waver in the penalty kick.

Saleh was a little annoyed and became excited. He roared at the referee: "Didn't you hear it? I will never let him fall when I touch his strength! He is a fake fall! Can't there be physical contact between football games?!"

At this time, when he completely forgot how he fell to the ground when he was in contact with Wu Lei...

Seeing that Saleh not only disobeyed his punishment, he even had to argue with him. He took out a yellow card from his pocket and gave it to the opponent.

Seeing this yellow card, Saleh suddenly remembered the accusation of being the captain - I am the captain, I am the central defender, I cannot be impulsive at this time!

So he pushed it away helplessly, and at the same time he turned his head and glared at Gao Zheng fiercely. The look seemed to have a certain threatening meaning: You kid are waiting for me!

Facing Saleh's threat, Gao Zheng smiled and then made a card-taking action to remind him that you already have a yellow card on you, be careful to be sent off with impulse.

Saleh was completely depressed now.

As a central defender and captain, if he was sent off by a red card in the middle of the game, it would be a heavy blow to the team...

Forget it, at this time, you should put the overall situation first and never be impulsive...

Gao Zheng earned a penalty for the Chinese team, and he finally took the penalty for it himself.

In fact, the captain of the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi, was also present. He is usually the team's penalty kick handler, and Gao Zheng also wanted him to play. But no matter what he said, Zheng Zhi did not accept it, and in the end Gao Zheng had to come by himself.

Standing in front of the penalty spot, Gao Zheng was still thinking, wondering if Zheng Zhi did not accept the penalty, but thought of the past when he lost the penalty and the Chinese team missed the top ten games.

On the football field, everyone is more or less superstitious.

He may not want that psychological shadow to affect everyone's future.

So Gao Zheng did not continue to persuade him at that time, but simply walked towards the penalty spot with the football in his arms.

Since that's the case, then do it yourself.

You will bear any consequences yourself.

After he set the football down, he retreated to the right distance and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.

The chaos in the Syrian penalty area has passed, and it is useless for Syrian players to not accept this penalty. The penalty cannot be changed.

However, Syrian goalkeeper Alma was shouting to Gao Zheng in English with a strong accent: "You liar! That's a fake fall, you know! You know in your heart! You can deceive the referee, but you can't deceive the omniscient and omnipotent Lord! You will be retribution!"

He wanted to put psychological pressure on Gao Zheng in this way.

But his Middle Eastern accent English is really difficult to understand, with a strong tongue-rolling sound, and Gao Zheng actually didn't understand what he was calling at all.

When the referee blew the whistle, he started running and kicked the football into the upper right corner of the goal with one kick.

That is an angle that goalkeepers can hardly save, but it is also an angle that has great risk, because it is very likely to fly directly out of the goal range...

Alma judged the right direction, but when faced with such a tricky shot, he was out of reach and could only look at the ball and sigh, hoping that the omniscient and omnipotent Lord could really hear his voice, surrender his sins, and let Gao Zheng suffer retribution.

But this scene did not happen.

The football kicked by Gao Zheng crossed the goal line and hit the ball hard on the net!

"Gao Zheng!!! Beautiful -!!! Dead corner! Dead corner in the absolute sense! The Syrian goalkeeper is powerless, he can only watch the football enter the goal! The Chinese team equalized the score! In the 68th minute, the score was tied 1:1! We still have a chance, and we still have hope of survival!!!"

He Ping cheered excitedly.

In front of the TV, countless people cheered.

Gao Zheng's goal gave them hope to defeat Syria.

Uzbekistan has lost the game, and the Chinese team must defeat Syria to seize the opportunity!

Gao Zheng did not celebrate the goal, but rushed into the goal immediately and picked up the football.

When he ran over goalkeeper Alma, he shrugged at the other party, as Alma's previous response to him - although he didn't understand a word, in that case, he knew with his knees that what Alma spit out of his mouth was definitely not ivory, and this kid definitely didn't say anything good.

After the equalization, the morale of the Chinese team has been greatly boosted and the more they play, the more confident they are.

Originally, they actually had the advantage in the scene. If Syrian players had not been using the "grass-sleeping tactic", the Chinese team might have scored goals.

Now that the morale between the two sides is changing, Lippi's adjustment on the side has immediately achieved immediate results.

In the 78th minute, the Chinese team launched an attack on the left and passed the football into the penalty area.

Gao Zheng ran to the back point and jumped high.

The Syrian player thought Gao Zheng wanted to attack directly, so he did not dare to neglect, so he rushed forward to defend Gao Zheng.

Even goalkeeper Alma appeared in front of Gao Zheng again, blocking his shooting angle.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zheng did not shoot himself at all. He used his head to ferry the football back!

The attacks were caught off guard by all Syrian defensive players.

After the midfielder Wu Xi, who was ambushing in the penalty area, retreated, he happened to receive the ball that Gao Zheng blew over, and he twisted his body and volleyed!

This time Alma was too far away. Although he made a stubborn save, he could not touch the ball.

The football flew into the goal for the second time!
