77. Incompatible
In the PowerPoint presentation submitted to the coaching staff of the Chinese national team by Matthaus during the preparation for the game, the German legend mentioned the problems in the set-piece defense of the South Korean team - they are still good in positioning, but the protection of the second point is not so good.
Although there are shortcomings such as stubbornness and conservatism, in general, Perran's level is still on the passing line. In the face of opportunities such as set-pieces, he still attaches great importance to always positioning himself as a weakling.
For this free kick, the Chinese team rarely sent as many as six attackers, and Li Yun, as a header in the penalty area, was also pushed up.
When Qin Minghao's corner kick came out, he looked for his most trusted teammate Li Yun, and Li Yun did not disappoint him, the latter succeeded in the front point, a beautiful header was rubbed, and the football flew straight to the top right corner of the South Korean team's goal.
Zheng Chenglong, as the starting goalkeeper of the South Korean team, did his best, reflexively jumped up to touch the ball, the speed of the football still far exceeded his reflex reaction speed, flew over the fist he stretched out after jumping up, just when Zheng Chenglong thought he was going to lose the ball, the football was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
"Li Yun's header!", Huang Jianxiang's roar almost broke his voice, "Oops." It's a shame that it's just a little bit higher. Good ball, good ball, from set-pieces, we have enough threats. ”
"It's still about playing effective offense and putting in enough attacking personnel. Li Gang made an analysis of the Chinese team's offense, "Li Yun's pass from the backfield, plus the three people in the front court, is still missing. If one more player came up just now, and Nie Jiang had one more point to get the ball, maybe there would be this ball. ”
'You can play with a back four, one more person in midfield. Yu Genwei directly put forward his own suggestion, "In the fullback, Shu Jun's assist ability is lacking, and now he still has a yellow card, it is better to replace a midfielder to strengthen the interception of the midfield." ”
However, the commentators' discussion can only be an itch in the boots, and Perrin did not make any adjustments because of this attack, and continued the previous style of play.
The South Korean team quickly came up with a countermeasure, and when Li Yun got the ball again, the person closest to Li Yun gave priority to attacking and interfering, even if it was a foul.
This kind of foul in the front court, generally given to the Chinese team is a free kick in the backfield, and it is far away from the opponent's half, and the Chinese team cannot invest too many troops for such a free kick, resulting in the next game, the Chinese team's counterattack has been repeatedly interrupted, and it cannot pose too much threat to the South Korean team at all.
The only offensive means was abolished, making the South Korean team's offense more and more unscrupulous.
In the 21st minute of the second half, Guangzhou R&F foreign aid Zhang Xianxiu, who has a strong ability to assist on the right wingback, desperately attacked Shu Jun's position, and Gu Zizhe and Ji Dongyuan also came to involve in the response, under such high pressure, Shu Jun's defense had problems again.
Zhang Xianxiu and Ji Dongyuan made a beautiful two-by-two cooperation, after passing Qin Minghao and Zheng Zhi who came to fill the position, Ji Dongyuan even played the action of pedaling a bicycle, Shu Jun couldn't help but get angry after being shaken a few times in a row, and the former suddenly changed to a bottom cross.
I don't know when, South Korea's defender Qi Chengyong has been inserted into the penalty area at this time, he received in the middle, knocked the ball with a beautiful heel, and transferred the ball to the back point, Son Heung-min has already run to this position, in the case of no defense, he easily pushed the empty goal successfully, and the South Korean team turned the score into 2:0.
After scoring the goal, Son Heung-min happily ran to the stands where the South Korean fans gathered, grabbed the team and kissed the national flag on his chest, which was met with a frenzied tsunami of South Korean fans.
A large number of fans who came to cheer for the Chinese team were silent at this time, and the extremely ugly scene, the two-goal deficit made them basically lose hope of equalizing.
If the fans' sluggish expressions were due to the bitterness of losing the ball, then Perran's calm expression as if nothing had happened made the commentators incomprehensible.
"If you keep playing like this, you're going to lose the ball. Huang Jianxiang said conclusively, "The team has no desire to attack, or there is no effective offensive arrangement at all, and it is ineffective to rely on such a rigid defense." ”
"We've played against South Korea before. It's hard to win, but at least it's back and forth. Li Gang still has a very strong say in the former Chinese team, "I also believe that the current Chinese players are capable of playing a good offense." ”
"I'm afraid that conceding goals like this will lead to the collapse of the team. Yu Genwei raised his concerns, "You want to say that the Chinese team lost 0:5 to Thailand because of the gap in strength, which is obviously wrong." The main thing is that the heart is gone, and the situation on the field is very dangerous now. ”
After conceding the second goal, the Chinese team hit Yu Genwei's worries, the players obviously had some problems with their mentality, the defense on the field seemed to be in a hurry, and there were several mistakes in a row, but fortunately, the South Korean team's Li Qinglong and Ji Dongyuan shot too positively, and were blocked by Zengcheng, who has been playing very well until now, otherwise, the South Korean team would have killed the game.
By the thirtieth minute of the second half, Zheng Zhi and Lin Feng received yellow cards again, and the entire defense line of the Chinese team was already in jeopardy, especially Shu Jun was broken through on the side again, but fortunately, Hassan's men showed mercy and did not give a second yellow card, at this time Perrin also knew that he had to make substitution adjustments.
Xiao Yunfan was sent on the field by Pei Lan, and he made an adjustment to Shu Jun, but the overall tactics still did not make any changes.
Then Xu Mingyu replaced Lin Feng, who had a card on his body, and continued to strengthen the defense of the midfield.
Fortunately, these two substitutions came in time, and after more than 70 minutes of high-tempo confrontation, the physical fitness of the South Korean team also declined significantly, and they were already smart enough to play control the ball with two goals in hand.
The pressure on the defense decreased slightly, and Li Yun noticed that in the 35th minute of the second half, he suddenly dribbled forward from the backfield.
Li Yun's timing of the forward insertion was well controlled.
At this time, the South Korean team was just on the verge of physical decline, and the score of 2:0 and the little time left also made them relax. Players with good fitness certainly want to continue to attack and score more goals, while players who have reached the physical limit want to control the ball a little and slow down the pace of the game.
Tillick had given the players a special advice to the players before the game about Li Yun's attacking characteristics, and previous matches have proved to be his signature attacking style.
But the Chinese team, which has been suppressed, still made the players of the South Korean team a little carried away by the attack that was not threatening, and when Li Yun keenly seized the opportunity to break through with the ball, the South Korean team was a little caught off guard for a while.
At the same time, I was very surprised and Li Yun's teammates on the field, although everyone knew that Li Yun was unwilling to lose, but it was still rare to come up without saying hello.
The only one who reacted was Qin Minghao, a good friend who had been playing with him for a long time.
Li Yun came up with the ball, Qin Minghao chose to run to answer for the first time, and at the same time he greeted Xu Mingyu and Nie Jiang loudly: "Mingyu!
At this time, Li Yun had already dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the center circle, and successively threw Gu Zizhe and Ji Chengyong behind him, directly facing the defensive back of the South Korean team, Han Rong.
At this time, the Korean team woke up like a dream, Han Rong hurriedly came up to rob, and Ji Chengyong also desperately began to chase back.
Li Yun decisively passed the ball out before the opponent approached, and it was still Qin Minghao who received the ball.
Next, Qin Minghao handed the ball to Xu Mingyu, who ran up from the middle, and the latter, as a qualified wingman, did not let the football stop the ball at his feet, and quickly transferred the ball out, and it was Nie Jiang who got the ball.
The Chinese team's series of passes were very fast, and they passed from the left of the midfield to the right of the midfield, and it was Wu Jae-seok who was hit.
Like the Chinese team a few minutes ago, the South Korean team also encountered this disturbing situation at this time, and Oh Jae-suk, who was carrying a yellow card, did not dare to make big defensive moves.
Oh Jae-suk's cowering defensive stance gave Nie Jiang great convenience, and the latter also completed the breakthrough on the side with a passing move of the oil balls, and then entered the penalty area, which was more threatening than Ji Dongyuan's previous bicycle bottom cross.
Li Yun's back insertion, continuous pass in front of the penalty area, beautiful pass, Nie Jiang entered the penalty area. Huang Jianxiang, who had been depressed for a long time, finally had the opportunity to raise his voice to explain the attack of the Chinese team.
Nie Jiang, who entered the penalty area with the ball, soon discovered the embarrassment, that is, no one answered in the penalty area except Zou Weijia, and at this time, Zou Weijia had long been blocked by the central defenders of the South Korean team, and there was no way to pass the ball.
At this time, Nie Jiang only had two choices, either to shoot by himself, or to pass the ball back to Li Yun outside the penalty area to let him shoot, and finally Nie Jiang chose to come by himself.
Under the pressure of Hong Zheng, Nie Jiang at this time was infinitely close to the bottom line of the penalty area, and after making up his mind to shoot, Nie Jiang struggled to shoot after taking another step.
In such a small space, Nie Jiang has mastered the action of accelerating and changing direction and flashing out of the space to shoot, Hong is not as good as Nie Jiang's explosive power after all, and he is one step away from stopping Nie Jiang's shot.
The ball flew straight to the top right corner of the South Korean goal along a narrow line under Nie Jiang's heavy blow.
"Nie Jiang's shot!", Huang Jianxiang shouted, "Oops! ”
"The angle is too small. Yu Genwei also looked regretful, and then he applauded Nie Jiang, "Not bad, this shot is very beautiful." Li Yun's insertion is very timely, and we still have a chance to attack. ”
"The main thing is that there are too few people who are involved in the attack. Li Gang pointed out the shortcomings of this offensive sharply, "It's still too conservative." Li Yun's forward insertion was wasted, and the South Korean side will definitely not give such a chance again. ”
After all, he is a person who has been a head coach, and Li Gang does see the problem much more deeply now than before, and sure enough, Li Yun's forward insertion almost went wrong.
After the failure of the last forward insertion, in the 41st minute of the second half, Li Yun stepped forward again, but unfortunately in the middle of the field was broken off by the South Korean team's back Han Rong, and then the South Korean team played a very beautiful counterattack, Li Zaicheng and Huang Xican, who had just been replaced, took advantage of their physical strength and forcibly started to beat the Chinese team a counterattack.
In the end, Xiao Yunfan pulled Lee Jae-seong down with a forced back pull in front of the penalty area, took a yellow card himself, and gave the South Korean team a super well-placed free kick.
From the two substitutions of Lee Jae-seong and Hwang Hee-chan, you can see the gap between Stillik and Perran.
When the team was leading, Stillik did not change the defenders to defend it, but supplemented the fresh blood in the midfield to ensure the strength of the midfield.
"It's a difficult game. Huang Jianxiang had already admitted defeat at this time, "I hope I can guard this free kick." ”
At this moment, the Chinese team was replaced, and Du Zhenyu, a young player of the Longteng team, came on the field to replace Li Yun, and Li Yun, who walked down from the field, buried his head, and it was difficult for everyone to see his expression.
But Zhang Sheng, who was very familiar with Li Yun, knew that Li Yun was already very unhappy at this time, and the object of the unhappiness was about to come out - when Li Yun and Pei Lan passed by, neither side had any intention of reaching out to shake hands and celebrate.
Seeing the scene on the field, Huang Jianxiang also frowned, he was about to tell this scene, but he was really afraid of causing controversy, so he immediately skipped it.
But this way of covering your ears and stealing the bell is useless, this scene was broadcast to thousands of households by the camera, and the idea of discord with the handsome man rose in the hearts of countless fans.
Li Yun's departure also made the Chinese players on the field a little stunned, Du Zhenyu, who had just come on the field, looked at Li Yun a little puzzled, as an iconic figure from the Longteng team, Li Yun is not just a central defender on the field.
In the indescribable chaos of the Chinese team, the free kick of the South Korean team came out, and the football flew up under the rubbing of Sun Xingmin, and at this time the Chinese team's human wall obviously had a problem, and Du Zhenyu and his teammates were not tight. Gaps are exposed. The football just got through this gap and flew straight to the goal of the Chinese team.
Zengcheng's vision was blocked by the human wall, and by the time the football flew over, it was too late for him to make a save, and finally the football flew over Zengcheng's palm and into the net.
South Korea extended the score to 3-0 just before the end of the game, which meant that the next few minutes were garbage time.
"Alas. A fiasco. Huang Jianxiang was depressed and wanted to vomit blood.
"If you play in the top 12 with this kind of performance, you don't have a good chance of qualifying. Li Gang said bluntly, "There are too many problems to summarize after the game. ”
"There is a clear disunity of thought on the field, and that's the biggest problem. Yu Genwei, who was not very brilliant in the commentary of the whole game, completely put the discord of the team on the table.
