In last night’s China-Brazil battle, head coach Hongbo Gao of the Chinese team made frequent substitutions in the last ten minutes, giving birth to a series of farcical big jokes.
Peng Zhao from Henan Jianye replaced captain Wei Du, also from Zhengzhou, in the 80th minute; this was the fifth substitution used by head coach Hongbo Gao in this match. Considering that Gao had declared before the game that he would be making a large number of substitutions, this personnel adjustment was not unexpected. Du handed the red captain's armband over to Qu Bo, who had scored first in this match. No one expected that this captain's armband seemed to bring bad luck from there on out.
