Chapter 1135: A Good Change
The game restarted, and the Chinese team, which had a two-goal lead, played exceptionally relaxed.
They don't have any baggage at all, so the local players who play in China's domestic league are also playing a lot better than before.
Confidence is injected into them, giving them more strength on their feet, faster running, and more accurate movements.
So for a while, everyone saw that the Chinese team's table had improved significantly, they regained the initiative on the field, firmly controlled the football at their feet, passed back and forth, advanced and retreated freely, and turned Uzbekistan around.
Uzbekistan's reckless foul gave the Chinese team a lot of space to play an amazing game.
Chinese fans watched dumbfounded in front of their televisions and computers.
"Holy! Is this really the Chinese team? ”
"Are you sure this isn't Barcelona?!"
There are many more exclamations like this.
And these collaborations have one thing in common, that is, they are all related to glory.
Rong Guang was withdrawn from the position of striker and became a striker, he was no longer the finisher of the attack, but the playmaker of the attack, using his passing and his experience and awareness in the high-level football league in Europe to lead the entire Chinese team to play wave after wave of beautiful attacks.
So that Uzbekistan can only be beaten passively.
The Chinese players they looked down on suddenly turned into first-class players in Asia, skilled at their feet, coincidental and coquettish.
Sometimes Rongguang can organize an attack even if he doesn't touch the ball at all, that is, he can use him to attract two or three Uzbek players, so that the vacancy will come out, and the other players of the Chinese team will quickly occupy and take advantage of the vacancy.
Gao Lin scored the third goal of the game for China towards the end of the game, which was created by a series of beautiful running passes through Guò.
“3:0! The Chinese team completely locked up the victory! The Chinese team will qualify from this group as the first in the group! And it's a three-game victory! This is the best group stage result in the history of the Chinese team since participating in the Asian Cup! He Ping said excitedly.
Gao Lin and his teammates hugged and celebrated the goal.
From the celebrations, it can be seen that this Chinese team is different from the previous Chinese teams.
This time, as long as the Chinese team scores a goal, everyone will hug each other to celebrate, which fully shows that the team is united and there are no problems.
Gao Hongbo is not a very famous coach, but the atmosphere within his team is indeed much better than that of previous national teams. This shows that he resolutely rejected some veterans with old qualifications at the beginning, although recruiting more newcomers will make the national team less experience, but the team is united, and the combat effectiveness can be improved.
Experience or something, and playing more games will also be available. The atmosphere of unity within the country is not something that can be created by playing more games......

In the end, Uzbekistan didn't even score a face-saving goal in front of the Chinese team, and was beaten 0:3.
After the game, Rongguang was blocked by reporters in the mixed zone, and everyone had to say why his personal watch was so different before and after the goal.
Rong Guang did not answer this question directly: "We scored three goals in this game and I only scored one of them, so I think it is better to focus on my personal table than to focus on the whole team." We played a good table today and deserved to win. ”
After saying that, he waved his hand directly to reject the reporters who asked questions, and then quickly left.
He hid himself in the face of the overall victory, unwilling to let himself stand out too much.
The media who couldn't interview Rongguang had to interview other Chinese team players, and everyone seemed very happy, excited, and excited.
And said, "He led us to this victory!" ”
Rongguang's appearance in the Chinese team's attack in the second half, the reporters all saw it, and naturally knew the role of Rongguang on the Chinese team's attack.
But the words of these Chinese team players made them think: Could it be that the difference between Rongguang's appearance before and after his goal was not because he was injured, nor because he was curbed by Uzbekistan's foul tactics, but because he took the initiative to make this adjustment, from a scoring machine to a person who made a wedding dress for his teammates and connected the whole team?
If that's the case...... Then this glory is too powerful, right?!
Not only can he shoot and score on his own, he can also be the playmaker and the core to lead the team to victory.
Everyone knows what level the Chinese team is, but glory can make the Chinese team's watch go directly to a higher level!
The glory is even greater!
This used to be something that people joked that even God couldn't do......
When playing in Europe, the European media had an evaluation of Rongguang, saying that he seemed to have some kind of aura in himself, and he was able to apply buffs to the players around him, and anyone who played with him would be better.
In Werder Bremen, in Bayern Munich, in Manchester City, it all proved it.
Now, Rongguang has brought his aura to the Chinese national team......
The table of the national team players in this match is a strong proof of this.
So it's really not some superstition or an internet joke.
Although everyone doesn't know why, the facts are true, and others can't believe it.

After the game, the Chinese media were cheering for the Chinese team's unprecedented victory in all three games in the group stage, and the Chinese fans were all happy.
Of course, the changes between the Chinese team and Rongguang in the game are also the focus of discussion.
Rongguang suddenly transformed from a goal machine to the core of the organization, and everyone was pleasantly surprised by the change in between.
In the past, the Chinese team was actually just a glory and ten other people.
They are happy that the Chinese team won, but there is also a saying circulating on the Internet, that is, the Chinese team is too dependent on Rongguang, if Rongguang has something long, two short, the Chinese team will be finished, this is actually Rongguang's one-person team. Even if such a team wins the championship, it does not prove that the level of our Chinese football has improved, it is the championship of one person, not the whole team.
But now, the game has given an answer to that fear.
The Chinese team is not a Chinese team with Rongguang alone, and Rongguang has no intention of being in the limelight alone.
He tries to make the team possible as a whole.
This has given many Chinese fans hope and the hope of improving the strength of the national team. In this way, they have more expectations for the World Cup qualifiers, not only looking forward to the glory of the table, but also the improvement of the strength of the entire Chinese team, which can also make them more confident.
The World Cup qualifiers are more Manchester City, unlike the Asian Cup, where everyone can gather together for training for a period of time, and then play all of them in more than half a month.
There will be intermittent qualifiers and there will certainly be players who have been injured in the league or are not in good form during this period. The Chinese team's lineup will be adjusted frequently, and Rongguang may also be subject to the European league and the table is different.
So there is more uncertainty in the World Cup qualifiers.
If the overall strength of the Chinese team is strong, many of these uncertainties can be offset.

To the disappointment of Manchester City fans, the Chinese team did not return home after the group stage, and they will have to wait a while longer for Glory to return to the club.
The Chinese team not only qualified from the group, but also won all three games and won the first place in the group.
In Group A, although the host Qatar defeated Kuwait 3-0 in the last game, it could not change the fate of their elimination, and the host country was eliminated without qualifying in the group stage, which will inevitably affect the box office and broadcast.
However, the AFC doesn't have to worry too much, because the Chinese team's performance is unexpectedly good, so it is said that there are many travel agencies in China that are advancing to Qatar to watch the Asian Cup. The response from the market has been very good, and many Chinese fans have decided to come to Qatar to watch the Chinese team play live, supporting the best national team in the past decade.
In terms of televising, the ratings of the Chinese team's games are getting higher and higher.
So as long as the Chinese team is not eliminated, the loss of the AFC is not big.
Although Uzbekistan lost to the Chinese team, it still finished second in the group and qualified from this group.
A day later, all four groups were over.
In Group B, Japan defeated Saudi Arabia 5-0 in their last game, and Jordan defeated Syria 2-1. Japan and Syria both qualified from the group, and Japan won two wins and one draw to top the group with seven points. Jordan is also two wins and one draw to accumulate seven points, in the relationship between the two sides, Japan and Jordan originally played a 1:1 draw, the relationship between the two teams can not distinguish between the advantages and disadvantages, comparing the goal difference of the two teams against each other, it is also the same, and then compare the number of goals in each other's games, of course, it is still the same. In this case, Jordan have four fewer goals than Japan in this regard, and Japan relied on a 5-0 goal difference against Saudi Arabia in the last game......
Group C topped the group with Australia, who beat Bahrain 1-0 in their last game. South Korea finished second in the group, and although they beat India 4-1 in their final game, they still had one less goal difference than Australia, which also made them second in the group......
The top team in Group D is Iran, who, like China, have won all three games and have nine points. These two teams are also the only two teams to have won all three games. Runners-up in the group are defending champions Iraq, who have six points from two wins and one loss, with a 2-1 defeat to Iran.
After all eight teams have qualified, it will be the knockout stage.
According to the rules of the competition, the first pair in Group A is the second pair in Group B, the first pair in Group B is the second in Group A, the first pair in Group C is the second in Group D, and the first pair in Group D is second in Group C.
As the first team in Group A, the Chinese team will face Jordan in the quarterfinals against Jordan, the second team in Group B.
The game kicks off at 9:15 p.m. CST on January 21.
This is the prime time of the official evening in China, which is the peak of TV ratings.
The Chinese team's match is scheduled at this time, which will definitely attract more Chinese viewers to watch the game.
Among them are many people who are not fans at all, who are attracted by the excellent results of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, and are curious to see how the Chinese team performs in the Asian Cup. There are also some people who just came to watch this game for the purpose of supporting China, and these people must not even understand the rules of football, just to watch the fun.
But whatever the reason, it's going to give this game a huge boost in viewership.
In the past, the game in the early hours of the morning could only attract real Chinese fans, but this game can get a lot of non-fans or pseudo-fans to join in.
Will the in-form Chinese team be able to make it past the quarterfinals and reach the semi-finals?
In a survey conducted by CCTV in conjunction with Sina, Tencent and other portals, more than seventy percent of the respondents are very optimistic about the Chinese team breaking into the top four.
The results of such a survey have never been seen before, which speaks volumes about the confidence that the Chinese team's recent performance has not only gained confidence for the players, but also for the fans.
