There is a belief called football

Chapter 218

The sound of "bang" was very clear. It was the sound of a football hitting the goalpost. Li Qiao's instep ejection was very sudden and the angle was very tricky. Unfortunately, like Kim Young-kwon of the Korean team, he pursued perfection too much.

The football did not go out of bounds after hitting the inner post, but bounced back to the goal. At this time, Yu Dabao of the Chinese team and Hong Zhenghao, the defender of the Korean team, were closest to the goal.The two started together and rushed towards the bouncing football. Everyone knew the importance of this ball. If Yu Dabao touched the ball first, it would be an open goal. If Hong happened to touch the ball first, he could clear the ball.

Li Qiao didn't make the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. When the Chinese fans were about to let out a sigh, they found that it was not over yet, and the Chinese team still had a chance.

After running for two steps, Yu Dabao kicked his left foot and was about to fly out. Hong just saw the situation and knew that he had to slide. Both of them rushed towards the ball with unconventional movements.

This kind of action is very dangerous. Even if you hit the ball first, then the opponent's leg also arrives, it may be seriously injured, but neither of them is afraid. In the end, Yu Dabao hits the ball first. He is already sitting on the ground.

*****
The series of dangers that appeared in the penalty area of ​​the South Korean team just now made the South Korean fans hold their breath and watched the direction of the ball nervously. Now that the ball has passed the baseline, this attack is considered to be over, and the South Korean fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The players on the bench of the Chinese team saw that Yu Dabao's shot was blocked, and they sat back one after another. They couldn't hide their disappointment on their faces.

Only Stan didn't feel disappointed. He kept applauding and encouraging the players on the field, because he had already seen the weakness of the South Korean team. Although the midfield and forward line of the South Korean team were strong, the defensive ability of the two central defenders was average, especially the sense of position was not very good.

When Li Qiao shot, the central defender of the South Korean team actually stood with his forward Yu Dabao instead of blocking the goal. From this point, Stan saw the clues.

Stan stretched out a finger and circled it clockwise up and down, the meaning was very clear, the offensive routine just like that was repeated for me, a few more times.

*****
Cui Kangxi let go of the Chinese team's missed shot, but he understood that the Chinese team's attack just now was very sharp, even though it was just two people, but the timing of the pass and run was well grasped.

Cui Kangxi called the captain "Ji Chengyong" and asked him to remind his teammates to pay attention to defense, especially the two players just now. After receiving the coach's deployment, Ji Chengyong returned to the field. He first assigned the task to the two defensive midfielders to strengthen the interception of the midfielder, and then ran to the central defenders to remind them of corner kicks. Only two players can go up to a free kick. There must be enough people behind to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

After the redeployment, nothing changed for the Korean team, why?The main reason is that South Korea can solve problems in Asia by relying on its own sharp offense, and usually does not need to strengthen its defense, so after only a few minutes, South Korea began to attack again, especially the two flanks-Lee Qinglong and Sun Xingmin.

Sun Jihai has a relatively high success rate in defending Li Qinglong. After all, Sun Jihai has defended Messi in the Club World Cup, but it is very difficult for Qi Bing to defend Sun Xingmin. It is no wonder that Sun Xingmin once faced Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

Stan asked Wei Xiao to help Qi Bing defend together, but the middle lane was always a hidden danger. The older Li Weifeng felt a bit late in this fast-paced game. "It would be great if I had two Wei Xiaos," Stan thought.

There is another way, and that is to let Lin Zhijian come back to help defend, but that will abolish his side attack, so Stan will not consider it unless it is a last resort.

The South Korean team attacked on the right side of the Chinese team a few times, and it became more and more handy. The Korean fans are very professional. Every time Sun Xingmin got the ball, their cheering and cheering voices became louder and resounded through the sky. In this way, the pressure on Qi Bing was even greater.

Stan knew in his heart that if Qi Bing didn't adjust this point, it would be a matter of time before he was blown up by the Koreans. Finally, Stan made up his mind and signaled the right winger Lin Zhijian to step back and help the right back defend.

Lin Zhijian also played right back in Hamburg, and he is Sun Xingmin's teammate, so he understands his technical characteristics better. Although doing this will give up his right attack, it is better than being beaten by others.

Lin Zhijian's return to defense was immediate. The two had competed in the Hamburg team training before, and now they competed again in the national team, but this time they were evenly matched. Lin Zhijian also worked extra hard to defend Sun Xingmin.

However, the South Korean team’s frontcourt strength is indeed too strong. After defending Sun Xingmin, the "Ki Sung-yong" in the middle began to show his power again. If I want to make an analogy, I think Ki Sung-yong is very similar to Bayern Munich's "Harvey Martinez".

Ki Sung-yong has almost the same characteristics in the South Korean national team. He can play midfielder, defender, midfielder, and forward in the middle. This kind of player is Stan's favorite, because it is difficult for you to defend him. He is too comprehensive.

Now Ji Chengyong has become the metronome of the South Korean team's midfielder. He controls the rhythm of offense and defense. What is rhythm?For example, during a fast attack, when the ball reaches Ki Sung-yong, he deliberately pauses to break the rhythm of the Chinese team's return to defense. When you are stunned, he immediately raises the speed and catches you off guard.

In fact, on the football field, whether it is dribbling or passing, if the rhythm remains the same from the beginning to the end, then it is very simple to defend. The most difficult thing is to defend the opponent.

And such a metronome can be met but not sought after. Zheng Zhi of the Chinese team can also be counted as one, but it is far worse than Ji Chengyong.

Stan yelled in his heart that it was not good, because Sun Xingmin's breakthrough just now didn't look like a panic, but it was enough to add a defensive player. Now that the South Korean team is playing ball possession, the rhythm is in their hands, and the Chinese team is very uncomfortable.

So what to do?
It is simple and simple to say, that is to grab the ball back and regain control in your own hands, but it is easier said than done.

That requires full-court pressing, in other words, it requires a lot of energy.

Stan thought for a while, there was no way to go on like this, he had to gamble, and he ordered that the midfielders of the Chinese team - Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi, Zhang Xizhe, Lin Zhijian, Yu Dabao all joined the team to grab the ball, only one Li Qiao didn't need to return to defense, and was ready to counterattack at any time, just like the game against Uruguay.

The Chinese team speeded up, and the South Korean team obviously felt a lot of pressure, and Ki Sung-yong couldn't control the ball so calmly.

But don't forget, there is also Gu Zizhe in the midfield of the South Korean team. There is a lot of pressure. Gu Zizhe took the initiative to advance his position to help the captain, forming a formation similar to two attacking midfielders.

In this way, the effect of the Chinese team’s scrambling was not good. Seeing that the opponent’s midfielders were still in control under pressure, Stan yelled a few dirty words in his heart. He could lose to anyone. Stan just didn’t want to lose to the Koreans. The bullshit has already been blown out.Stan knows it without thinking. It can be said that Stan has a little problem with his mentality now.

Stan pressed his palms down to signal everyone to be steady, because it is really not a long-term solution to grab the ball like this.

But what I didn't expect was that as soon as the Chinese team slowed down, the Korean team's metronome, Ji Chengyong, suddenly accelerated. He made several short passes to find Li Qingyong on the right, and Sun Jihai was still tight.

Stan knew that the South Korean team was desperate this time. If they couldn't score this time, then the huge space left behind would be Li Qiao's racetrack, and Li Qiao could have fun.

Wei Xiao was the first to press up against Ji Chengyong. Ji Chengyong had seen Wei Xiao in the Premier League and knew how good he was. He gave the ball to Gu Zizhe, so that only Li Weifeng was behind.

Li Weifeng faced Gu Zizhe, Li Weifeng thought that if you dare to pass me this ball, I would dare to foul, but Gu Zizhe was still no match for Li Weifeng, so he passed the ball to He Dacheng. Fortunately, Sun Jihai predicted in advance, otherwise He Dacheng would have been a one-handed goal.

Sun Jihai stared at He Dacheng, what about the defeated AFC champion?
But Sun Jihai felt a gust of wind behind him, and his heart tightened, knowing something was wrong, Li Qinglong walked around behind him.

Sun Jihai did not turn his head to look at Li Qinglong, but turned to the right to look at Qi Bing. If Qi Bing was standing parallel to him, then there was nothing to worry about, because Li Qinglong would be offside if he walked behind him.

But Sun Jihai saw Qi Bing's position, and cursed in his heart: "Damn".

Qi Bing is further back than himself, which means that Li Qinglong is not offside!
Just when Sun Jihai wanted to understand, He Dacheng had already passed it directly to Li Qinglong, and Sun Jihai's heart sank, "Qi rate, it's up to you."
