Chapter 026: A Historic Victory!
Tang Zheng passed a through ball with his left foot that was more than 30 meters in reverse, and the football flew quickly against the turf to attack the right rib, which was the left rib of the South Korean team's defense.
The live broadcast director switched the camera for the first time, but the Chinese fans in the stands had already created a deafening huge chant, so the fans watching the live TV broadcast were the first to hear the shouts from the Brisbane Stadium before seeing Sun Jingbo.
Kim Jin-so gritted his teeth behind Sun Jingbo and accelerated, but his absolute speed was completely incomparable to Sun Jingbo.
Because Tang Zheng's through ball advance is very large, it is suitable for Sun Jingbo to give full play to his speed advantage.
In the absence of left-back Kim Jin-su and midfielder Ji Chengyong, central defender Guo Taihui was attracted by Tang Zheng, and Kim Yingquan went all out to guard Gao Lin who accelerated towards the top of the arc of the big penalty area, which is equivalent to saying that Sun Jingbo can rely on his speed advantage to smash Huanglong.
Of course, this is highly unlikely.
The South Korean players on the field will respond according to the emergency, Kim Yingquan decisively gave up the marking of club teammate Gao Lin, chased Sun Jingbo along the diagonal line, and at the same time pointed his right index finger at Gao Lin, signaling his partner Guo Taihui to pay attention to Gao Lin's running.
In about three seconds, Sun Jingbo parked the football with the instep of his right foot during the high-speed run, and Kim Yingquan, who was not slow, also appeared in front of Sun Jingbo's left side.
If Sun Jingbo chooses to shoot directly, there is a chance that he will be blocked by Kim Yingquan.
So the clear-headed Sun Jingbo did not choose to shoot, but picked up his right foot to deceive Kim Yingquan into stretching his left foot in the high-speed defense to try to block the flight path of the football, but Jin Yingquan did not completely throw his body out.
The Korean fans in the stands watched it with great worry, for fear that Kim Yingquan would lose his center of gravity by Sun Jingbo's exaggerated fake shot and real dunk action.
Stillik, who was standing in the command area of the visiting coach, suddenly let out a long breath, but his breath was not fully exhaled, and his heart rose to his throat again.
Sun Jingbo didn't seem to make any action to dunk the football back at his feet, but it was actually for the next pass.
Kim Young-kwon retracted his left foot and kept a safe distance from Sun Jingbo, and at that moment, Sun Jingbo kicked the football towards the top of the arc of the penalty area with the arch of his right foot.
Because Guo Taihui's attention is completely on Gao Lin, the back has not returned to the core position, the broadcast picture given by the live director comes to the top of the arc of the big penalty area with the movement of the football, and the fans sitting in front of the TV can clearly see that a Chinese player wearing a red jersey appeared in front of the arc of the big penalty area of the South Korean team, and there was no Korean player around him.
The big Arabic numeral '10' on the back tells everyone in front of the TV who he is......
Suddenly, He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, shouted violently: "Tang Zheng-"
Tang Zheng stopped the football passed by Sun Jingbo forward with the outside of his right foot, and then picked up his right foot under the gaze of the fans.
In front of him, there are no defenders.
Goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun is facing Tang Zheng, and he is extremely panicked, facing Tang Zheng, who has scored the most goals in this Asian Cup, he has no bottom at all!
Tang Zheng didn't adjust too much, he was very decisive at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, and kicked the middle and lower part of the football with the instep of his right foot.
The soccer ball that was lifted into the air by force let out a crisp "Boom~" and then did not fly to the top left corner of the goal.
The football did not rotate at all, like a cannonball, and goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun stood in the middle of the goal without any movement under his feet except for turning his head to prevent his eyes from taking his eyes off the football.
It wasn't until the football crashed into the snow-white net in the upper left corner of the goal that Kim Jin-hyun lowered his head in frustration.
※※※
"Whoa—"
Tang Zheng scored with a powerful long-range shot at the top of the South Korean team's penalty area, and a deafening huge chant rang out over Brisbane Stadium.
At the same time, the voice of He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 Commentary, suddenly rose an octave, and he shouted almost frantically: "World wave! Absolute world wave! Tang Zheng's goal helped the Chinese team expand the score to three goals! With less than 20 minutes left in the game, it basically means that we have advanced to the semi-finals of this Asian Cup ahead of schedule!"
Commentator Xu Yang went on to say passionately: "Tang Zheng is in excellent form! He scored his second goal of the game! He is further ahead of his top scorer in this Asian Cup! If his super form can continue to the semi-finals and even the final, breaking the record of Iranian legend Ali Daei scoring eight goals in a single Asian Cup! If Tang Zheng really surpasses Ali Daei, we are very likely to make history and win the Asian Cup!"
The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV listened to He Wei and Xu Yang singing and harmonizing, and their hearts were not only excited, but also a little more expectant.
Last year, the Chinese team entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Brazil and won the Asian Cup this year, which seems to be ...... It's not impossible!
Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team in front of the home team's coach's bench, raised his arms in a rare way to vent the excitement brought by the three-goal lead.
On the contrary, Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, looked extremely calm, standing in place with his arms raised, and his handsome face looked unruly and uninhibited.
But Chinese fans at Brisbane Stadium and in front of the TV think that Tang Zheng is now the most handsome man in the world, and no one can compare!
Under the leadership of the 'Dragons Fan Club', the huge chant at Brisbane Stadium turned into the crowd chanting Tang Zheng's name: "Tang Zheng! Tang Zheng!
Tang's father and Tang's mother, who stood in the stands of the families of the Chinese team players at the Brisbane Stadium, listened to the overwhelming shouts and looked particularly proud.
More than 20,000 Chinese fans chanted at the scene.
Even with your toes, you can imagine that every Chinese fan sitting in front of the TV is chanting Tang Zheng.
Zhao Lina, who is preparing for the French Women's Football League, has no way to cheer for her boyfriend Tang Zheng at the scene, but sitting in front of the TV, she seems to be there in person, raising her arms to vent the pride that has sprouted in her heart.
Her man, that's it!
Tang Zheng is used to seeing the big scene, and it is normal to be very calm, but other players are not, they hugged Tang Zheng excitedly, and at the same time shouted loudly with the huge chant over Brisbane Stadium, venting the pressure brought by the goal.
Immediately, the on-site director gave Tang Zheng a slow-motion replay of the entire goal, and the commentators sitting in the on-site commentary seat did not hesitate to say any words of praise and witty words.
After a while, the expressions of the Korean players who appeared on the broadcast screen were almost the same, and it was very appropriate to describe them as dead ashes.
In addition to showing a 3-0 disparity, the scoreboard at Brisbane Stadium also showed that the game time was 71'06", which means that there were less than twenty minutes left in the game.
Despite this, the South Korean players on the pitch looked to have completely lost confidence.
If there is any hope of an equaliser from two goals down, then three goals down means that the rest of the game is garbage time.
With the current mental outlook of the South Korean team, let alone falling behind by three goals, it is difficult to equalize even if it is one goal behind.
※※※
Falling behind by two goals has put Stillik under pressure, and now falling behind by three goals basically means that the South Korean team is eliminated early, but he doesn't want to admit defeat easily!
But after looking at the Korean players on the field, he could only shake his head helplessly, because the game could not use tactical adjustments to solve the score behind, and relied more on the players' unyielding spirit when they fell behind to wrestle with the opponent.
As the saying goes, the brave wins.
However, the South Korean players have no confidence now, and the impact on form is naturally very large.
The South Korean team, which is in good spirits, can't break through the Chinese team's goal, let alone now?
However, as the head coach, Stillik still has to make a response and adjust to the adverse situation of the game.
With 20 minutes of stoppage time left in the game, there was no point in defending, and Stillik replaced left-back Kim Jin-so with Gu Ji-chul before the start of the game to increase the number of attackers up front.
By this time, Lippi, who had previously remained unmoved, finally made the first adjustment of the game with his first dead ball after the restart.
Defensive midfielder Cai Huikang replaced the starting right midfielder Sun Jingbo, a substitution to strengthen the defense in the middle.
But...... Is this substitution really a defensive reinforcement?
No!
Cai Huikang's play can directly liberate Tang Zheng and give him more space to play freely.
Instead of strengthening the attack, Steelk's substitutions increased the pressure on the defense under Lippi's adjustments.
Gu Zizhe replaced the defender on the field, which directly weakened the backcourt defense of the South Korean team, and the tough offensive defense of the Chinese team looked shaky.
The South Korean fans at Brisbane Stadium have lost their voices, and many fans have even chosen to leave the stadium early to vent their dissatisfaction with the team.
In the minds of many South Korean fans, it is okay to lose to anyone, but you can't lose to the Chinese team.
And it was a big loss to the Chinese team, which is completely incomprehensible.
The Chinese fans in the stands were excited like children, and the shouts they created were higher and higher, and the frenzied atmosphere even infected the neutral fans, making them can't help but join in the frenzied atmosphere creation.
It's a pity that Gao Lin and Lu Liang, who were in a relaxed state, missed the opportunity to expand the score to four goals one after another, otherwise the Chinese fans in the stands and the Chinese fans in front of the TV would have fallen into an endless carnival.
Gao Hongbo once led the Chinese team to defeat the South Korean team by three goals in the East Asian Cup, but later it was revealed that the South Korean team had players playing match-fixing, and the controversy continued.
But now it's different, the three-goal lead is entirely due to the efforts of the Chinese players.
If it weren't for luck, the Chinese team would have led by at least four goals.
In the blink of an eye, the game came to 80 minutes, and the scoreboard still showed the score 3:0
The Chinese team is in front, and the South Korean team is behind.
The Chinese fans in the stands, led by the 'Dragons Fan Club', created waves of chanting, which became louder and louder as the time diminished by second.
Many Chinese fans have hoarseness in their throats, but they don't care!
Defeating South Korea by a big score in the Asian Cup must be a hysterical catharsis.
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, the live director deliberately gave a long shot of the stands where the Korean fans were.
Compared with the dense situation in the stands where Chinese fans are located, there are already many empty seats in the stands of South Korean fans, and there are still many empty seats that are increasing at a visible rate.
It is not difficult to see that more and more South Korean fans are dissatisfied with the performance of Korean players on the field.
The game time was running short, and the South Korean team never threatened Yan Junling to guard the goal with limited offensive opportunities, and Stillik shook his head helplessly.
He knew that there was no suspense in the game.
In the last minutes of the regular game, the Chinese team made the last two substitutions.
One of the adjustments is Liao Lisheng to replace Hao Junmin, and the other substitution adjustment is also used for newcomer training, it is Li Kui, who only emerged in the second half of the 2014 Chinese Super League season, the position is a defensive midfielder, strong but sensitive, excellent positional sense, playing for Guangzhou R&F.
The most important thing is that Li Kui is young enough, only nineteen years old, and he is replaced by captain Zheng Zhi.
Captain Zheng Zhi was substituted, and the captain's armband followed Tang Zheng's left arm.
When Li Kui came off the bench, the fourth official just held up the electronic card for three minutes of stoppage time, which means that there are three minutes left in the game.
Of course, there was no suspense in the game itself, and the referee Ilmatov did not sound the whistle for the end of the game in advance considering the importance of the game, coupled with the high mood of the Chinese fans at the scene, if the whistle for the end of the game was blown in advance, it was likely to be booed by the Chinese fans.
In the eyes of many Chinese fans, winning against South Korea is not enough goals.
Because...... The more the merrier.
The game continued, the South Korean team switched from defense to attack, and the football came to the feet of Son Heung-min.
The Chinese fans in the stands subconsciously made a huge boo: "Woo woo woo-"
If you ask the South Korean players on the field who are still fighting spirit, the fans watching the live broadcast of the game will definitely say 'Son Heung-min' in unison, so the Chinese fans in the stands will boo Son Heung-min when he gets the ball.
Sun Xingmin, who received the football, looked at his teammates who had no sense of answering and shook his head, ready to go it alone.
Facing the slightly immature Liao Lisheng, he easily shook his upper body to gain breakthrough space, and then accelerated forward.
Just past the middle line, Sun Xingmin saw Li Kui, who was dark-skinned and burly, and made up his mind to repeat his old tricks.
As a result, just after making a feint to pluck the ball, the ball was missing at his feet......
Sun Xingmin turned his head to see that the football had been passed by Li Kui to Tang Zheng, who turned to face his goal, while three big question marks appeared in his brain.
My heart trembled!
He didn't have the extra heart to think about how the ball at his feet was cut off by Li Kui, and was more worried about whether goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun would be broken by the Chinese team again......
At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of the Central 5 Campaign, praised Li Kui who completed the frontal defense: "Beautiful steal! Very clean! Li Kui, who is only 19 years old, is an outstanding representative of R&F Academy, and he can successfully freeze most of the foreign players in the Chinese Super League in the midfield, and he is inseparable, so R&F fans give him a very apt nickname 'A Ghost', and he cling to the opponent's core players like a fool......"
Ten seconds later, what Sun Xingmin feared became a reality, and Gao Lin, who had repeatedly wasted opportunities, finally received Tang Zheng's pass and scored, expanding the score to four goals.
And this goal is also the last goal of the game, and it also means that the largest point difference between China and South Korea was born.
