At 5 p.m. today, the Zhejiang team of the Chinese League One will have a warm-up match with the national football team in Shanghai. The "City Express" reporter interviewed Zhejiang team goalkeeper Gu Chao before the game. The former international goalkeeper believes that he should warm up with the national football team with a learning attitude, hoping that both sides will not be injured, and also hopes to help them reduce some pressure, play a wonderful game, and finally reach the Qatar World Cup.
Gu Chao wishes that the national football team will enter the World Cup, which should be full of sincerity, after all, he was also the number one goalkeeper of the national football team. But as soon as Chinese fans heard that It was Gu Chao who said that the national football team had entered the World Cup, they naturally couldn't help but think of the scene of the last Round of 12, when the Chinese team played against Syria at home - it was Gu Chao's rash attack that led to the national football team losing 0-1 to Syria. At that time, Chinese fans thought that the national football team was upset at home and lost to Syria.
In the last Round of 12, the Chinese team finally scored 12 points, while Syria finished third in the group with 13 points to advance to the play-offs. If the Chinese team does not have Gu Chao's mistakes and can win Syria at home, then the Chinese team will accumulate 15 points and may eventually qualify for the World Cup in Russia, so Gu Chao's mistakes are eternal pain in the hearts of Chinese fans.
Gu Chao also admitted after the game that the attack was his own mistake. In that game, the Chinese team still had the advantage in the scene, but only 8 minutes after the opening of the second half, Syria played a sharp counterattack, when there were many players in the Chinese team's backline, as long as Gu Chao did not attack, Syria's counterattack was not much of a threat, but because Gu Chao's attack and defensive teammates collided together, giving the opponent the opportunity to shoot the empty goal. After scoring this goal, Syria shrank in defense, and the Chinese team drank 0-1.
Therefore, when fans saw the news that Gu Chao hoped that the Chinese team could qualify for the World Cup this time, the comment area was in an uproar. Many fans have said that if it were not for the mistakes of Gu Chao in the last session, the Chinese team may have a chance to qualify for the World Cup!
Objectively speaking, in the last round of 12, the Chinese team completely lost in the 2 matches with Syria. Not only was it a 1-0 loss at home, but the 2-2 away one was a shame (it was a draw by a Syrian free kick). If the Chinese team can score 6 points instead of 1 point in these 2 games, the Chinese team will advance to the World Cup in Russia in the second place in the group!
