In fact, Cui Kangxi "misunderstood" Chinese journalists.

Before that game, it was not only Cui Kangxi who was stimulated, but Lippi, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande at that time, was also deliberately arched by reporters.

At that time, a reporter asked Lippi: "The Italian team lost 1-2 to the host South Korea team in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup and lost the opportunity to enter the quarterfinals.

Such a problem is clearly set out to stir up the anger of both sides.

And Lippi was also extremely unhappy at the time, and he directly replied: "I was not the coach of the Italian team at that time, I played South Korea as an opponent in the AFC Champions League, and played against Jeonbuk Hyundai Team and Seoul FC Team many times, and the matches with these Korean teams left me with good memories." ”

Therefore, it can only be said that there are many S.B reporters in China, and a rat poop spoils a pot of porridge.

However, it can also be seen from Choi Kang-hee's answer that he is indeed a very character person, and when he was asked by the media whether he would go back to China to coach, he also replied affirmatively: "The agents of China and South Korea seem to have been operating this matter, but I want to say that I am not interested in coaching in China, and I want to build a tulou in Fengdong (a place name in Jeollabuk-do, which is also the origin of Choi Kang-hee's nickname Fengdong Village Chief)." ”

Compared with Cui Kangxi's attitude of ignoring Chinese reporters, although Zhang Sheng scolded this group of S.Bs in his heart, he had to answer their questions with a smile on the surface, after all, Cui Kangxi is a South Korean coach who can not dump Chinese reporters, but Zhang Sheng can't, these reporters have no other skills, but their ability to do things is very strong, especially people like "famous reporter" Zhao Zhen.

Not only did the Chinese side attach great importance to this game, sending a commentary combination of He Wei and Xu Yang, and the South Korean side also paid a lot of attention, as one of the three major TV stations in South Korea, SBS TV also sent their top commentary combination: host Bai Shengcai and South Korean football commentary industry top commentator Park Wencheng.

As the head coach, Zhang Sheng is still quite confident in this crucial battle, because now the Longteng team can be described as strong, no one in the team is absent, and the players' physical fitness is in the best condition after the last round of rotation.

In the starting position, the forward line is Nie Jiang, Pato and Ben Alfa, the midfielders are Tao Wentao, Lin Feng and Roque Gill, and the back line is Zhou Zhou, Xiao Yunfan, Lu Zhihui and Ma Yongli, only in the goalkeeper position, Zhang Sheng insisted on Huang Dawei, and Zhou Wei sat on the bench with a depressed face.

Regarding the arrangement of Huang Dawei as a goalkeeper, not only He Wei and Xu Yang questioned it, but even South Korea's commentator Park Wencheng pointed out that Huang Dawei is likely to be the key point in Jeonbuk Hyundai's victory this time, because this player is too young.

Xu Yang said very directly: "Letting such a young goalkeeper start to face Jeonbuk Hyundai to play the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, I am really worried about whether his experience is enough." ”

Park Wencheng also said: "The Longteng team arranged a player under the age of eighteen on the goalkeeper Huang Dawei, this is a player of the Chinese national youth team, in fact, they also have players like Zhou Wei who have been selected for the Chinese national team, but unfortunately the latter was arranged on the bench for his abnormal performance in the league some time ago, so we can try to shoot more in this game, and the lack of experience of young goalkeepers is a big drawback." ”

It seems that Park Wencheng has done a lot of homework before the game and carefully searched for the recent information of the Longteng team.

After the opening, the Longteng team began to take the initiative to attack very confidently, and did not play defensive counterattacks in the half like other Chinese Super League teams.

Bai Shengcai was also very surprised by the Longteng team's style of play: "Our opponent today, the Longteng team, is the upstart of the Chinese Super League, and they are called another 'Evergrande'." The team has world-class strikers like Pato and Ben Arfa in it, and according to the Chinese, they are a local tycoon. However, few teams in the Chinese Super League have adopted high-pressing tactics against Jeonbuk Hyundai, and it seems that they are very confident in their frontcourt strength. ”

And Park Wencheng mentioned Nie Jiang: "This team is not only strong in foreign aid, their striker Nie Jiang is not yet eighteen years old this year, and he is already the main player of the Chinese national team, and he scored two goals in one game when facing the Japanese team in the East Asian Cup some time ago." ”

"But against our K-League South Korean team, he didn't have much to do. Bai Shengcai proudly praised his national team.

However, the two commentators in China are very low-key, and He Wei analyzed several threatening players in Jeonbuk Hyundai: "The main striker of Jeonbuk Hyundai today is Li Tongguo, this is a very experienced veteran, and he is a very big threat in the front line. As for their midfield, they have Asia's top foreign players like Leonardo, and the Dragons must pay attention to his midfield organization and set-pieces, and finally their other midfielder, Lee Jae-seong, a player of the South Korean national team, is another rookie who has emerged from South Korea. ”

The three players He Wei pointed out are indeed very good.

Speaking of Li Tongguo, many fans may not be familiar with this name, but as long as he talks about the name before he changed his name, let alone being familiar with the South Korean team, even fans who are familiar with the Chinese national team have to say that it is like thunder, Li Tongguo was called Li Dongguo before he changed his name, and the Chinese team, whether it is a club or a national team, has not suffered his losses.

Lee Tong-guk, born in 1979, played in the 1998 World Cup in France, making him the youngest player in the history of the South Korean team to play in the main World Cup.

He has not only won the MVP and top scorer of the K-League, but also won the title of the best player in the Asian Cup.

However, he had a very bad experience in the middle of his career, too many games made him suffer from injuries, the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup because he was not liked by the then South Korean coach Hius Dick was excluded, and in the 2006 World Cup, he was in good form as the main center forward of South Korea, but a serious knee injury caused him to miss the World Cup again, and it was not until 2010 that he was selected for the national team to participate in the World Cup again.

And his name was changed in 2007 when he was at the lowest point of his career, supposedly to change his "luck", when he joined Middlesbrough in the Premier League and failed to score a single goal in nine appearances, but hit the post many times, and was rated by some British media as one of the worst signings in the Premier League.

In addition, in 2007, he and his teammates secretly ran out of the team at night to drink and were caught, so they were kicked out of the national team, which made him determined to change his name.

However, after he changed his name to Li Tongguo, his luck was really much better, and after transferring to Jeonbuk Hyundai in 2009, he has always maintained a high attendance rate and scored a lot of goals, and in the AFC Champions League, he also played against Guangzhou Evergrande for three consecutive years, scoring three goals in a row.

And Li Tongguo also performed very well in this game.

In the eighth minute of the first half, the Longteng team was destroyed by Jeonbuk Hyundai in the front court, Leonardo found him with a beautiful pass after receiving the ball on the left side, he stopped the ball in the penalty area and got rid of it, and then Li Tongguo shot straight to the upper left corner of the goal, Huang Dawei, who came out of the AFC Champions League for the first time, was very concentrated, kicked his legs hard, and dragged the ball out of the crossbar with his palm.

A sharp counter-attack from Jeonbuk Hyundai almost resulted in a goal.

This attack reflects the tactic that Choi Kang-hee wants to play the most - a long pass after counterattacking, and Leonardo and Lee Tongguo also played this tactic.

Although Lee Tongguo's shot did not score, it still scared Jang Sheng, because the South Korean player was too good at scoring against the Chinese team.

When Zhang Sheng was still in the magic water youth team, he had learned his power.

At that time, Zhang Sheng, Li Gang, and Li Jinyu were all teammates, although Zhang Sheng later left the Magic Water Youth Team, but he still remembers the South Korean center who scored two goals in one game of the National Olympic team.

Seeing this attack, South Korea's commentator Park Wencheng felt very sorry: "Shot, Lee Tongguo, oops! was saved." The goalkeeper of the Longteng team is a player who is less than 18 years old, and this save is too crucial. ”

As for the Chinese commentator He Wei, he felt extremely happy: "Li Tongguo unloaded the ball beautifully in the penalty area and shot the goal. Huang Dawei, Huang Dawei made a meritorious service, and the youngster made a beautiful save in the AFC Champions League for the first time. ”

Xu Yang also said: "Before the game, the Longteng team arranged the main players in various positions, and the only one was Huang Dawei in the goalkeeper, although he is the main goalkeeper of the national youth team, but he is too young, and I was still worried about the starters in this position." Now it seems that Coach Zhang Sheng let him play with his own considerations. ”

In the corner kick that followed, Zhang Sheng loudly kicked the players on the field to wake them up, telling them to pay attention to Li Tongguo's header.

As Zhang Sheng expected, even if the defenders of the Longteng team stepped up their defense against him, Li Tongguo still grabbed the first point of Leonardo's corner kick in the penalty area, fortunately, Lu Zhihui followed him very closely this time, Li Tongguo's header was slightly out of the goal under Lu Zhihui's interference, and the Longteng team escaped again.

For the continuous missed opportunities to score, Park Wencheng felt particularly sorry, and at the same time praised Li Tongguo: "Li Tongguo's header, shoot! Oops, it missed the goal again, and the two consecutive attacks came from Li Tongguo, it seems that he has an extremely good state." Although he is as old as the head coach of Yongteng, he is still very dangerous in terms of performance, which is the glory of our Korean football. ”

He Wei expressed his concern: "The Longteng team has been grabbed by Li Tongguo in the penalty area twice in a row, so it shouldn't be, we mentioned before that he is a very dangerous player, but now it seems that the players of the Longteng team don't pay attention to him, making him too relaxed." ”

Zhang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, felt that the real threat was Leonardo, the foreign aid of the Jeonbuk Hyundai team who passed the ball twice.

Lee Tongguo and Leonardo are the two people with the highest salaries in the Jeonbuk Hyundai team, Lee Tongguo's annual salary is 1.11256 billion won (about 6.119080 yuan), which is the highest among South Korean local players, and Leonardo's annual salary is 1.29634 billion won (about 7.129870 yuan), which is the highest among South Korean foreign aids.

Lee Tong-kook is because of seniority (South Korea's special national conditions, the older the seniority, the higher the salary), fame and household register, while Leonardo is completely relying on his own ability to speak.

However, this also largely reflects the status of the two of them in the team, as well as Jeonbuk Hyundai's position in the K-League - an absolute giant.

As the No. 1 foreign player who received his first annual salary in the Korean K-League, Leonardo's strength is undoubted.

Leonardo was also selected as one of the world's top 100 rising stars when he first debuted in Brazil, and he was also an absolute selected player for the Brazilian national youth team, scoring five goals in the Brazilian U20 national team.

After that, Leonardo transferred to the Greek giants AEK Athens, where he was the team's top scorer in the league and also performed well in the Europa League.

Previously, the Chinese Super League team Changchun Yatai wanted to buy him in the 2012 season, and in the middle of the league, he also sold the absolute core of the team Du Zhenyu to make room for him, but Jeonbuk Hyundai bought it with an extra 50,000 euros in the offer, and it can be said that his strength is still very strong.

And a large part of the progress of his own ability depends on Cui Kangxi's training.

His progress has been gradually transformed in his Jeonbuk career in the past few years.

When he first came to Jeonbuk Hyundai, at first he only showed that he was fast and skilled, but his confrontation ability was very poor - mainly because of his poor physical fitness.

And now under the tutelage of Cui Kangxi, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and the balance of his left and right feet makes him very difficult to defend on the field, whether it is cutting inside the ball or hitting the goal, or his left-footed cross is of a very high level.

In terms of right foot, Jeonbuk's fixed tactic is that he starts at 45 degrees on the left side and finds a landing point, with the two previous foreign strikers Edu and Eninho plus Lee Tongguo grabbing the point.

And Leonardo also took all the set-pieces in Jeonbuk, repeatedly scoring when the team couldn't open the deadlock.

Historically, in the 2016 season, when he played SIPG, Jeonbuk Hyundai, who had been attacking unsuccessfully, scored his first goal, which reassured the team, and then played Seoul FC in the AFC Champions League semi-finals, he scored twice in the first half, and in the final, he scored two goals alone, so this is a skill, physical confrontation, and a player with a very big heart.
