Although He Ping felt sorry for Hengyuan's failure to score, he also praised Hengyuan's performance and believed that they showed courage.

Especially Zheng Zhi, he kept praising him.

"Zheng Zhi is the key figure in this counterattack. First, he cut Yan Min's dribbling. He gained the upper hand in the competition with Yan Min. Then, his dribbling and straight pass were very decisive, which is very important - if he is hesitant during the counterattack, Hengyuan will lose the best counterattack opportunity, and Muric will be in an offside state... Although he is 33 years old, veteran Zheng Zhi is still young. He has been diligent in the defense in the first half and is very hard-working. In the second half, when the team started to try more offenses, he became a key hub for defensive to attack..."

Although he didn't directly talk about the national team, the implicit meaning of each sentence of He Ping was "Why can't such an excellent player be selected for the national team?"

Although Gao Hongbo led the Chinese team to the second place in the Asian Cup and qualified for the World Cup finals, there has always been a lot of controversy about him. The controversy that arose before the Asian Cup almost made him unstable in his position.

Even if he has reached the World Cup finals, there is also a voice that worried that Gao Hongbo will find it difficult to lead this team to make a difference in the World Cup finals, because Gao Hongbo's own strength is not recognized. Some people think that it is already very good for him to lead the Chinese team to the World Cup finals. If the Chinese team wants to go a longer-term path in the future, with Gao Hongbo's ability, he may not be able to achieve it.

Some people believe that the biggest contributor to the World Cup finals is not the head coach, but the overseas players led by Zhou Yi. This group of players is too excellent. Any qualified head coach can qualify from the Asian qualifiers as long as he doesn't mess around. The evidence is that when the Chinese national team had only one Zhou Yi, the top ten matches were not very smooth. Later, Sun Pan, He Ying, Yang Muge, Guo Nu and others were recruited. The national team got on the right track in the top ten matches. Moreover, there was a game where Qatar, which had weak strength, Gao Hongbo did not choose to recall overseas players. As a result, the Chinese team lost the game at its home court, which made the qualifying situation suddenly become confusing.

The failure of this game is also considered important evidence that Gao Hongbo has limited ability and cannot lead the Chinese team to achieve great success in the World Cup.

The Chinese team without overseas players faced the second-to-last team in the group at home, and there was nothing we could do about it. Gao Hongbo's on-the-spot command was criticized after the game.

So later, although the Chinese team qualified for the World Cup, many people felt that the players in it had the greatest contribution. The head coach's contribution cannot be said to be lacking or the smallest, but at least it is not as great as everyone thinks...

Now his insistence on not recruiting Zheng Zhi to join the team has also caused dissatisfaction among many Zheng Zhi supporters in China. He has also put him in a whirlpool of controversy...

Zheng Zhi's outstanding performance helped Hengyuan get a chance to threaten Dortmund's goal. This is Hengyuan's most threatening attack since the beginning of the game.

This offense really scared Dortmund fans very much - when Muric shot and Groskreuz made a tackle, they were really worried that either the football was shot into the goal, or Groskreuz tackled the opponent and gave the opponent a penalty, and they were sent off by a red card...

The Dortmund players were also shocked. Unexpectedly, the opponent could hit their goal so easily and smoothly, and the troops were at the city.

With the temper of a European champion, it is certainly impossible to be speechless after being shocked by others.

Next, they took advantage of this goal goal opportunity and launched an attack.

Zhou Yi retreated to the central defender to ask for the ball, so Zheng Zhi couldn't follow him all the way. After Zhou Yi got the ball, he turned around and led him forward.

Facing Murichi's defense, he easily broke through and sent the football out.

Unlike Hengyuan's counterattack, Dortmund played short passes and infiltrated. After all, Hengyuan had already retreated and did not get entangled with Dortmund in the midfield and frontcourt.

Zhou Yi was not in a hurry, and slowly passed the ball with his teammates to push the offense forward. At the same time, he kept observing and looking for opportunities in this process.

However, Hengyuan's contraction defense is still pretty good, and it does not leave any obvious room for Dortmund.

Zhou Yi observed several gaps, but after analyzing them in his mind, he felt that it was not a good choice.

When Dortmund was passing back and forth, Zhou Yi noticed that Guangzhou Hengyuan might be worried that the space in their penalty area would be taken advantage of, so they all contracted more fiercely, which means that there is a chance at the front of their penalty area.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi decided to shoot directly from a long distance and caught the opponent off guard.

He passed the football to Yan Min.

After Yan Min received the ball from the left, he dribbled the ball and cut in again.

Although he was cut off by Zheng Zhi just now and almost lost the ball because of dribbling. Yan Min was not affected. He still launched an attack on Hengyuan's penalty area with high spirits.

His breakthrough attracted Hengyuan's defensive attention, and even Zheng Zhi leaned against him again, as if he was planning to use the same trick again after intercepting the ball.

But this time, Yan Min did not choose to force a breakthrough when facing a frontal interception, but suddenly passed the football out.

He passed it to Zhou Yi!

After Zhou Yi received the ball, he made a little adjustment and did not waste time. He directly shot!

About thirty meters away from the goal, he straightened his instep and drew the football!

Seeing Zhou Yi shooting, Hengyuan's players rushed up to block the game, but it was too late.

The football passed by them and went straight to the upper back corner of the goal.

Although goalkeeper Zengcheng had already made a save, Zhou Yi's shot suddenly and tricky shot. He was out of reach and could only watch the football penetrate the goal from a blind corner!

"Zhou Yi—!!" Marcel Lef chanted in a long voice.

"Zhou Yi's kick... is a good ball!" He Ping was also cheering for Zhou Yi. "World Wave! This ball is really impossible. It's played too beautifully and has no solution. This lost ball... makes people have nothing to say!"

"After the Guangzhou team created a threat, Dortmund quickly retaliated. Zhou Yi used his long shot to hit the counterattack flames that had just raised in Guangzhou again!"

After scoring the goal, Zhou Yi turned around and ran to the corner flag area. The pigs celebrated, but after just halfway through, he was hugged by his teammates and could not run anymore.

Although Zhou Yi is a Chinese and Guangzhou Hengyuan is a Chinese team, he has never played in Guangzhou Hengyuan before. Hengyuan is not his old club, so he naturally has no feelings for this team. There is no saying that he does not celebrate after scoring the goal.

He can celebrate as much as he wants.

His goal also made the Chinese fans in front of the TV feel a little better - since Hengyuan cannot enter the finals no matter what, Zhou Yi's outstanding performance still makes this showdown without losing players, because whether it is Dortmund's win or Hengyuan's win, it is a victory for Chinese football.

Dortmund did not relax because he had already led three goals. They threatened Hengyuan's goal many times.

Groskreuz and Reus both missed the shots. Another time, Aubameyang shot in front of the penalty area and was blocked by Guangzhou Hengyuan's forward Feng Elkeson - a forward retreated to the goal, which shows how unfavorable the situation in Guangzhou Hengyuan is.

However, what makes people stand out is that in such an unfavorable situation, Guangzhou Hengyuan has not given up on the offense.

In the 62nd minute, Guangzhou Hengyuan's South American Trident created a threatening attack. After Muric passed the ball and started the offensive, Elkeson passed the ball outside the left side to the empty spot behind the penalty area. Conca had already run to the receiving position and was about to catch the ball, but the football made Piszczek try hard to block it!

"Good! When we were behind three goals, Guangzhou Hengyuan did not give up any opportunity to attack. They were still looking for goals... This spirit itself is worthy of our admiration - not every team can still perform like this when they are in a desperate situation. Just from such performance, we can know how much improvement it has been for the Chinese team to participate in the Club World Cup..."

In the subsequent matches, both sides kept getting up like this. Dortmund had a chance and Hengyuan had a chance.

Dortmund won consecutive free kicks in the frontcourt, forcing Zengcheng to make a wonderful save.

On the other side, Zheng Zhi suddenly made a national pass, crossing behind Dortmund's defense line. Muric inserted into the penalty area, but was destroyed by Groskreuz's first kick...

However, such a wonderful offensive battle did not last long. Dortmund, who was more relaxed, still gained the upper hand. His strength and psychological advantages completely suppressed Guangzhou Hengyuan.

In the 81st minute, Reus scored his fourth goal for the team.

After leading four goals, Klopp replaced Zhou Yi.

In the eyes of many Chinese fans, this game is equivalent to the end.

Guangzhou Hengyuan fell behind four goals and was completely suppressed from the score to the scene. It was impossible for any decent performance.

Now Zhou Yi has been replaced again, and the biggest highlight is gone.

What else is there to see in this game?

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the score was 4:0, Dortmund beat Guangzhou Hengyuan.

Although Guangzhou Hengyuan worked very hard in the game and chose the right tactics, the huge gap in strength between European champions and Asian champions can still not be compensated by the spiritual victory method.
