Chapter 219 This is Life
Speaking of the tragic past of the national football team, this black 3 minutes is definitely an event that the older generation of fans still remember.
In the 1990 World Cup qualifiers in 3, the national football team scored the first goal in two consecutive games, and was conceded twice by the opponent within [-] minutes at the last moment of the two games.
But that was nearly 30 years ago.
Unexpectedly, on this day in 2017, I encountered such another time!
Gao Hongbo was numb, and so were all the fans.
The two conceded goals in these 3 minutes completely reversed the situation!
The national football players stood there in a daze, watching the Australian players celebrate ecstatically.
Only Chen Ming placed the ball at the kick-off point, and greeted his teammates loudly: "There are still 10 minutes left, we still have a chance!"
Wang Chu and Wu Lei also reacted, and they began to call their teammates to cheer up.
At this time, Gao Hongbo also set his sights on the old captain Zheng Zhi. He knew that a veteran with a stable military spirit was needed on the field at this time!
So he called Zheng Zhi, gave him a few minutes to warm up, and then prepared to come off the bench!
No. 707 minutes, Zheng Zhi came off the bench, replacing Wu Xi who just made a pass error.
Although Zheng Zhi is 37 years old, his technical ability is still in the forefront of the national football team.
If he only plays for ten minutes, he can definitely provide a very high level of competition!
Zheng Zhi knew what was on his shoulders. As soon as the old captain came on the field, he led the national football team to the front line.
However, the situation reversed at this time, and Australia began to withdraw its formation, preparing to fight back against the national football team.
But the national football team can't care so much at this time. Now they only have one way to Huashan, and that is to score goals!
No.80 In the second minute, Zheng Zhi controlled the football in the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Wang Chu.
Wang Chu dribbled past Jedinak and gave the ball to Wu Lei before another midfielder pressed up.
Wu Lei stopped and swung Becici away, and then made a cross!
Zhang Yuning resisted the defender and scored with a header!
Goalkeeper Ryan struggles to hold the ball out of the baseline!
Wang Chu took a corner kick, and central defender Sainsbury headed the ball out. Hao Junmin from outside the penalty area shot angrily at the ball, but the football was slightly higher than the crossbar!
No.807 minutes, Zheng Zhi drove straight in with the ball, but was brought down fiercely about five meters in front of the penalty area!
Wang Chu took the free kick and he chose to shoot directly, but unfortunately the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar!
In the last few minutes, the national football team completely controlled the situation on the field, but they just gained momentum and failed to score.
At this time, Liu Jianhong couldn't help saying the most classic and familiar words: "There is not much time left for the Chinese team..."
At this time, the game came to No. 90. Two minutes later, the national football team got a corner kick.
If nothing else, this will be the last chance for the national football team.
Many fans at the scene couldn't help standing up, they wanted to witness a miracle.
Wang Chu took a corner kick, and there was chaos in the penalty area. The ball bounced several times between the players, and finally fell to Wu Lei's feet!
At this time, Wu Lei was on the line of the small penalty area, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he stretched out his foot and poked it!
The distance is too close, and the goalkeeper Ryan has no time to react!
But the ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line!
Wu Lei fell to his knees in disbelief. He knew that this kick completely ruined the hope of the national football promotion!
The fans at the scene sat in their seats disappointedly. This one was so close that it meant waiting another four years!
Gao Hongbo also felt a chill in his heart, I'm afraid this is the end of it!
After Australia sent the goal kick, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
Australia won [-]-[-] at home, thus advancing to the next round with a total score of [-]-[-] and more away goals!
The national football team unfortunately stopped the play-offs!
At the moment of the whistle, the Australian players celebrated wildly, while the national football players fell to the ground lonely.
Zhang Chong was silent, and so were the young football players.
They had all seen hope, but reality gave them a slap in the face.
Zhang Chong only felt that his mouth was parched. He picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip to calm down.He clapped his hands and caught everyone's attention.
He said, "Boys, are you sad?"
Many young players nodded.
Zhang Chong pointed to himself: "I am also sad, even more sad than you. But we can't just be sad, we have to change!"
He pointed at everyone again: "And you are the ones who have the ability and the opportunity to change all of this. What you have to do is to work hard to improve yourself, and strive to be able to enter the national team four years later to replace the Some of the players on the field today! Do you have confidence?"
All the players shouted: "Yes!"
Zhang Chong patted himself on the chest again: "And what I have to do is to work hard to lead the team to achieve better results, and strive to coach the national team in the next World Cup cycle!"
Everyone was shocked.
Zhang Chong looked at them: "And if I really become the head coach of the national team, I hope that my soldiers will be you! Can you do it!"
All the little players shouted: "Yes!"
At this moment, some inexplicable connections were truly established between Zhang Chong and this group of young players.
These young players will eventually become his direct troops.
Losing to Australia, in fact, all fans have expected.
But losing in this way is really unacceptable to everyone.
Both Wang Chu and Zhang Yuning cried, and Wu Lei couldn't forgive himself even more. If his last kick could be more accurate...
Teammates went over to comfort Wu Lei one after another, but how could he heal his pain!
After being sad, an idea rose from Wu Lei's heart irresistibly.
I want to study abroad, I want to improve myself!
Chen Ming on the other side hugged his knees and looked at the carnival Australia in the distance, with tears of unwillingness in his eyes.
If it happens again, I will never let this happen again!
Cheng Sichu, who was far away in Bury, also turned off the TV in disappointment at this time. He hated himself for not being able to help the team in key games. Perhaps with him on the field in these two games, the results would be completely different...
The old captain Zheng Zhi also couldn't control his emotions during the interview. A 37-year-old veteran kept saying sorry to the fans in front of the camera.
This is the last time he hit the World Cup, and this failure means that he will miss the World Cup in this life.
He missed the 2002 World Cup, and the past ten years have been turbulent for the national football team. As the captain of the national football team, he has too many regrets.
Zhang Chong watched his interview and felt that this result was too cruel for him.
But this is football, this is life!
