There is a belief called football

Chapter 582 Fighting South Korea ([-])

"Is this the end of football in the Republic of Korea?"An old man's hands were trembling, and his daughter was sitting beside him. She tried to turn off the TV several times because she was afraid that her father would be stimulated and get sick, but was stopped by his father.

"Stop Yingji, if you don't want me to die of anger",
The daughter was helpless, and dropped the right hand she just raised, "Then you promise me not to be angry, your heart is not good."

"Don't worry, I can't die, I'm a person who experienced the rule of that bastard Park Chung-hee, and my life is hard."

That's what he said, but the old man's face was gloomy, and at this moment, the whole of South Korea is similar.

On the street, there were people swearing, complaining, online spraying, all kinds of things, and all of this was because of the top 12 World Cup Asian qualifiers, the match between South Korea and China, the first half was only 15 minutes, and the South Korean team was already 0-2 behind, and the scene was even more "miserable" can be summed up.

Even the KBS commentary at the scene had to admit that the South Korean team and the Chinese team are no longer at the same level.

In fact, in this game, the head coach of the South Korean team "Stielike" was very aggressive. His goal was to beat the Chinese team at home. He also sent the strongest lineup at hand:
Goalkeeper - Kim Jin Hyun
Defenders - Kim Jin-soo, Kwak Tae-hui, Kim Young-kwon, Park Joo-ho
Back midfielder - Gu Zizhe, Ji Chengyong
Front line - Son Heung-min, Yoon Bigaran, Lee Chung-yong
Forward - Ji Dongwon
It is not an exaggeration to say that this lineup has no problem sweeping Asia, but it is a pity that they met the Chinese team today.

For the Chinese team, the starting lineup sent by Stan is:

Goalkeeper - Qi rate

Defenders - Chen Fei, Wei Xiao, Zhou Dun, Qi Bing

Back midfielder - Wang Kong, Liao Lisheng
Avant-garde line - Lin Zhijian, Zhang Yuning, Li Qiao

Forward - Ding Mu

It is also the strongest lineup. If nothing else, this is likely to be the main lineup for the Chinese team to participate in the 2018 World Cup.

Five minutes before the opening, the South Korean team took advantage of the home court to play against the Chinese team, especially their three forwards-Sun Xingmin, Yoon Bigaran, and Li Qingyong were very active in running, which also posed a certain threat to the Chinese team.

But after 5 minutes, the strong and weak situation began to differentiate. In fact, the difference between a strong team and a weak team is that a strong team can play hard for 90 minutes, but a weak team can only play hard for a few minutes.

After the 5-minute attack failed, the Chinese team's defensive midfielder Wang Kong controlled the ball. Once Wang Kong got the ball, the three players in the frontcourt of the Chinese team could spread out and invest in offensive runs.

Because in Asia, when Wang Kong has the ball, there is no team that can grab it, and the South Korean team is the same.

Yin Bigaran and Ji Chengyong surrounded Wang Kong, but Wang Kong still controlled the ball. After half-turning to face the opponent half-court, Wang Kong handed the ball to Zhang Yuning.

When Zhang Yuning faced Gu Zizhe, he didn't dare to pass directly, but protected the ball. Li Qiao looked at it and cut diagonally from the left to the center, but Li Qiao was the key target of the South Korean team. Zhang Yuning looked at it. If the ball passed to Li Qiao was likely to be blocked, he passed the ball to Lin Zhijian on the right.

When the situation changed, Li Qiao immediately readjusted his running position. He ran to the left. Lin Zhijian dribbled the ball and passed it to Ding Mu in front of the penalty area. Ding Mu is the king of the small penalty area. Outside the penalty area, Ding Mu handled the ball very cleanly.

Ding Mu’s intention was very clear, that is, Li Qiao passed it back to me, and Li Qiao understood it. As soon as he accelerated, he passed the Korean team’s right back "Kim Jin-soo".

Under such circumstances, the cross was like a training session for Li Qiao. The half-high ball was passed into the penalty area. Ding Mu's erratic movement played a role. He inserted between the two central defenders of the South Korean team.

Ding Mu lightly pushed the ball to slightly change the direction of the ball, and the ball flew to the back post. At this time, the goalkeeper of the Korean team "Kim Jin-hyun" could only watch the ball into the net. The Chinese team led 1-0, and the first half had just passed 10 minutes.

After Ding Mu scored a goal, he rushed to Li Qiao and knelt down in front of Li Qiao. He wanted to do the celebratory gesture of shining his shoes, which was a kind of tribute.

Li Qiao put his feet on Ding Mu's knees and "wipe, wipe" twice. Ding Mu's sneaker-shining action made his teammates laugh, and everyone hugged together.

At this time, the Korean fans in the audience were quiet. The first conceded goal was predictable, but it still made the Koreans find it unacceptable to appear so early.

In the hearts of the Koreans, they admit that there is a gap between the strength of the Korean team and the Chinese team, but they don't think the gap is so big.

*****
The game restarted, and the South Korean team, which lost the ball, obviously felt demoralized, and the players ran slower.

The Chinese team played very maturely, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue after scoring a goal. They still played steadily and steadily, and the three lines still maintained their positions at the beginning.

Facing the world-class defense of the Chinese team, the South Korean midfielder had no choice but to pass the ball back and forth, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes to the middle.

The striker of the South Korean team "Ji Dongyuan" was as transparent as an innocent child beside Zhou Dun. Zhou Dun seemed to be able to see through him. Every time Zhou Dun cleared the ball in front of Chi Dongyuan, the striker of the South Korean team hadn't touched the ball until 10 minutes into the game.

In this way, the South Korean team's midfield pass is getting slower and slower, and it is becoming more and more purposeless. In this case, it will be a matter of time before they lose the ball.

Gu Zizhe passed the ball to "Yoon Bigaran". Yoon Bigaran is a new generation of organizational midfielders in South Korea.

But at this time, Yin Bigaran looked left and right, and the ball under his feet just couldn't get out, because the attacking route was blocked by the Chinese team.

Yin Bigaran was hesitant, but the Chinese team was not polite. Liao Lisheng strode up to shovel "Yin Bigaran".

Stillik was taken aback.
The South Korean players on the field were shocked.
The Korean fans in front of the TV were shocked,
Because they saw that Li Qiao was already running in the South Korean team's half with the ball like an arrow off the string.

The first person I encountered was "Gu Zizhe". Gu Zizhe was the iron gate of the South Korean team's midfielder, but now Li Qiao's speed has been filled up. At this time, not to mention the iron gate, even the titanium alloy gate can't stop Li Qiao.

Facing Gu Zizhe, Li Qiao flicked the back of his instep, the ball passed by Gu Zizhe's side, and Li Qiao passed by Gu Zizhe's other side, yes, the ball passed!

A beautiful ball was scored, and Li Qiao wiped away Gu Zizhe like a storm. Next, Li Qiao had two choices-first, the same as the first ball, go to the side, and then make a pass from the bottom, and second, directly break through.

Without thinking too much, Li Qiao rushed towards Guo Taihui and Kim Young-kwon, 1v2, but it was the Koreans who were nervous, and the fans in the stands held their breath, they knew that with Li Qiao's ability, it would be no problem to play one against two in Asia.

And Li Qiao was still the same, he didn't make any fake moves, but relied on his incredible speed-changing ability to mess up the opponent's footsteps between deceleration and acceleration. In this way, Li Qiao broke through, facing Kim Jin-hyun, Li Qiao lightly lobbed the ball past the goalkeeper and rolled into the goal.

2 to 0! !
And just 15 minutes into the first half.

During the first ball, the Koreans were able to deceive themselves and think it was an accident, but during the second ball, the Koreans were completely speechless. Many fans cried, and a beautiful Korean girl cried like tears. This scene was just captured by the cameraman on the scene. Many years later, this scene is still being played back, hurting the hearts of Koreans. This night was later called "Heartbreak Night" by Koreans.

*****
"Stilik go away, Korean football must be led by Korean coaches",
"Fuck, it's worse than 4 years ago",
"My heart is broken, don't ask me to watch the national team's games in the future, oh, yes, you can ask me to watch the Chinese team's games together in the future",
In the bar, the slightly drunk fans spoke unscrupulously, and they cursed out their anger.

"What the hell, there are only 4 spots in the Asian region. When the Chinese team didn't rise up before, our Korean team was recommended. Now that the Chinese team is so good, can I still see the Korean team enter the World Cup in my life?"
A middle-aged man beside him chuckled, "Yes, unless we hold another World Cup and be the host."

After speaking, everyone laughed, but they laughed. Some people cried. There is an idiom in China called tears to smile. Now Koreans are crying out of laughter. After waiting for 4 years, the Korean team was defeated by the Chinese team, but this time it became an instant kill. It was only 4 minutes into the first half.

*****
On the court, young players like Sun Xingmin and Yoon Bigaran were already crying. They lamented that they were born at the wrong time. It is probably impossible for Korean players of their generation to participate in the World Cup. The older Ki Sung-yong looked at a loss, and he had to go to comfort those younger brothers.

Stillik on the sidelines also looked bewildered. The current situation is beyond the ability of a head coach. The possibility of the head coach's mediation should be based on the fact that the strengths of the two sides are similar, but this is obviously not the case now.

He could only cheer up and applaud the players in the singing, "It's okay, we still have a game against Iran. Even if we lose to China, it won't be the end of the world. We can still qualify if we beat Iran."

"Qualify? Let me show you a big-headed ghost", the player thought to himself.

When a coach loses trust, it is often when the results are dismal. At this time, the test facing Stillik is not just as simple as losing the game. What he has lost is the trust of the players.
