In the second half of the game against Standard Japan, Chen Zhuo not only rehearsed the lineup, but also lived up to expectations and added another goal to his Champions League goals. This was also the result of the offensive system that came into play in the second half.
In the second half, Chen Zhuo arranged for Torun, Ze Roberto and Trokhovski to come on, replacing Ruud van Nistelrooy, Berg, Teshe and Ogo to return to the left back position. Ze Roberto served as a midfielder and Toro
Len and Elia partnered up front, and Trokhovski replaced Tescher.
This adjustment was made because the Standard Leeds team had changed their goalkeeper again. They had completely spent the remaining time rehearsing their lineup, and defensively they had also made specific arrangements for Elia's pass from the left.
Therefore, Chen Zhuo made corresponding adjustments.
The only goal in the second half was scored by Chen Zhuo in the 89th minute of the game.
Ze Roberto and Trochowski cooperated to penetrate from the right, and Torun quickly inserted from the right rib. Torun passed back from the bottom line, and Elijah was involved in the front point and leaked the ball to the center.
Chen Zhuo seized control of the ball during the pinch and hand-to-hand combat between the two defenders, and reluctantly poked the ball 9 meters away from the goal. The ball bounced into the goal.
The final score was locked at 3:1, and Hamburg had a double-player at home and away to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

The eight-to-four matches of this Europa League have ended, and Hamburg won the most easily.
Wolfsburg was defeated by the Premier League team Fulham at home with a goal, plus a 1:2 away defeat, and was eliminated with a total score of 1:3.

In the other two games, Liverpool lost 1:2 away from home, but showed great strength after returning to home, defeating Benfica 4:1 and advancing with a goal difference advantage.
Benfica's Cardoso did not score in the second round, and his number of goals was fixed at 9. Chen Zhuo was only 2 goals behind them.
Liverpool's opponent in the semi-finals was Atletico Madrid. The eight-to-four match was between two La Liga teams. In the end, Atletico Madrid eliminated Valencia with two draws 2:2 away and 0:0 at home.

For Chinese fans, the banner held up by a few Korean beauties at Standard's home stadium stimulated them, and there was a wave of initiatives on the Internet calling for Chen Zhuo to join the Chinese national team.
The Chinese Football Association has not given a clear reply to this initiative, but according to relevant parties, the Football Association basically does not have much interest in "older youths" like Chen Zhuo.
"He is already 33 years old this year, and he will be 33 years old by the next World Cup. What is the purpose and significance of letting him join the national team?" There were also many "Li" fans on the Internet who opposed that proposal.
"Never join the Chinese national team, just play outside. Even if you play in the Bundesliga 2, don't come back. Once you come back, you'll be finished!" The person who made this statement is a complete pessimist.
"In the 1990 World Cup, Cameroon's uncle Mila, who made it to the quarterfinals, was 38 years old. He also scored a goal in the 1994 World Cup in the United States!" Those who say this are "idealists" and they are quite idealistic.
"In short, Chen Zhuo is not allowed to become a Korean national, otherwise he will be a traitor!" Most people with this view are deeply immersed in the thinking of certain eras, and they often label and use slogans.
At the "closed meeting" of the relevant departments of the Football Association, they did discuss whether to call Chen Zhuo to join the national team and prepare for this year's Guangzhou Asian Games and next year's Asian Cup. The conclusion was negative. The most important thing is the age issue. The top four in East Asia
Games, East Asian Games, Asian Games and Asian Cup, we need to leave more opportunities to young people...
"As for the selection of players for the 2011 Asian Cup, we will convene the new coaches after the candidates are determined. Of course, we will tend to leave more opportunities to young people..." The final official statement of the Football Association is as follows
All departments in this country have the same style, neither explicitly rejecting nor recognizing.
But the phrase "tends to leave more opportunities to young people" basically blocks Chen Zhuo's door to the national team.

"It's not like I have never been young. It seems that I didn't wait for the opportunity they gave me when I was young..." Chen Zhuo was very depressed when Heidi reported the attitude of the Chinese Football Association.
No matter how bad the Chinese men's football team is, it is still the highest level competition a player can participate in. It is also an honor!
This week's "Football Story" focuses on the issues between players and the national team, and incidentally talks about the issue of naturalized players.
"If South Korea really wants to naturalize you and participate in the World Cup, will you consider it?" Heidi asked.
Chen Zhuo hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether it was appropriate to say it. It was not that South Korea was interested, but that the Korean Football Association had already asked someone to call Chen Zhuo!
It's not just a few Korean female fans hanging banners outside the stadium to say a few words, this is actually a real thing!
Shaking his head, Chen Zhuo said: "I am very grateful to them for their recognition and affirmation of me, but I am sorry..."

"What? South Korea admitted that it had extended an invitation to Chen Zhuo?" Wei Di, director of the Foot Management Center, was shocked.
"Why don't you know, Director Wei? The CCTV Korean reporter station said that South Korea has already issued an exclusive interview on this matter!" said Director Ma from CCTV Sports Department.
Wei Di said: "Do you have any information there? Send it to me quickly."
After putting down the phone, Wade took out his phone and looked up the phone number, muttering: "Why is it so complicated? If I had known better, I shouldn't have continued this mess!"
South Korea, Sangmu Football Team coach Lee Kang-suke admitted in an interview that he had been entrusted by the Football Association to call Chen Zhuo in a private name. Although Lee Kang-suke thought the matter was very difficult considering Chen Zhuo's family background, Lee Kang-suke
I still called him, and Chen Zhuo politely expressed his thanks and declined.
"Excuse me, Coach Li, have you known Chinese player Chen Zhuo before? Why did the Football Association entrust you to call him?" the reporter asked.
"We have known each other for a long time. In 1998, when I led the Shangwu football team and China's Bayi team to conduct sports and cultural exchanges between the two [***] teams of South Korea and China, the Chinese officer in charge of liaison was this Chen
The player's father..." Li Kangzhu said.
That was a thing of the past. South Korea has a national military service system. Many players of the right age will also enlist in the army for two years of military service. In order to allow these professional players to receive strict and scientific training during their military service, the Korean [***] team and
The Korean Football Association jointly established the South Korean "Sangmu" football team. Since 1989, Lee Kang-soo has served as the head coach of the Sangmu football team, guiding the training of players, leading the team in friendly matches with national teams and military football teams of various countries, and also
I participated in some military sports games with football matches.
1998 was the fourth year of professionalization of Chinese football. Chinese football was eager for all advanced foreign things and talents. In 1999, Li Kangshu helped Liu Guojiang organize training and games as a consultant for the Bayi Football Team. In the Bayi team last year, Li Kangzhu had the right to decide the lineup.
"During the time when I served as a consultant for the Bayi Team in China, I often organized the Bayi Team's first team to play against the youth team. At that time, Chen was in the Bayi Youth Team. At that time, he was playing as a forward and he was very promising. One of our team members was unfortunately seriously injured in a match. At that time, I even thought that he could no longer play professional football..." Li Kangshu was obviously deeply impressed by Chen Zhuo's injury.
"I returned to South Korea in the second half of 1999. In the next two years, the Bayi team will arrange for some young players to come to South Korea to train with the Shangwu team for about ten days every winter. Every year, I will also specially notify Chen Lai. He recovered quickly and switched to guard. After the severe SARS in 2003, the joint training between the two teams was interrupted. However, Chen still occasionally called me and sent me videos of his games... ..." Li Kangzhu is not secretive about his personal relationship with Chen Zhuo. Indirectly, he is also one of Chen Zhuo's technical advisors.
"Coach Li, when you talked about Chen in a public interview, can it be regarded as the Korean Football Association officially extending an invitation to Chen through the media?" the reporter asked.
Li Kangshu shook his head and said: "This is my personal opinion. In fact, I also know that with Chen's military family background, it is almost impossible to leave Chinese nationality and join South Korean nationality, but I sincerely hope that Chen can seriously consider South Korea. The platform and football atmosphere are ahead of the rest of Asia. If Chen is willing to consider it, I believe there is a place for him in the Korean national team..."

"If Chen Zhuo really considers becoming a Korean national, will the Chinese Football Association object? Also, Director Wei, a player openly invited by the Korean national team, why has the Chinese national team not summoned him for training..."
Wei Di pushed away the microphone in front of him, got into the car and sped away. He didn't know how to answer these questions. Those Koreans were really capable of causing trouble!
