"I take all the blame for this defeat. ”

"Here, I would like to apologize to all the fans and media who came to China for not being able to take away the points and for disappointing them from afar, and I apologize on behalf of the whole team. ”

At the post-match press conference, South Korea's head coach Stillik said with a lonely expression.

In the just-concluded game, his team lost 0-3 to the Chinese team in Changsha, which was a complete fiasco, both the result and the process, it was the biggest defeat for the South Korean team in decades of confrontation between China and South Korea.

Coach Stillik, on the other hand, said that he was willing to take all the responsibilities and that it was his responsibility.

For this match, the German said that he fell into the trap of alpine from the beginning, and at the same time, he was also disturbed by the outside world, which did not keep him calm and rational enough, which led to a major mistake for him and his team in the game.

"We had expected it to be a tough game before the game and we were ready to fight hard, but the Chinese team's tactics for this game surprised us, they played more relaxed and more patient, and we were a little too rushed in comparison. ”

"This bad mood affected us throughout the game, and I know that the game in Seoul six months ago is still interfering with us, and the situation in the group stage has forced us to be more proactive, but it is exactly what the Chinese team is trying to do. ”

"After more than half a year, the Chinese team has improved a lot, they have shown great tenacity, the execution of the players is higher than half a year ago, and there were no major mistakes in the whole game. ”

'In a game like this, one goal is enough to turn everything upside down. ”

Stillik believes that the Chinese team played at a very high level in both games, which represents how successful Gao Han's coaching in the Chinese team is, and he believes that Gao Han's pressing has led to a further imbalance in the mentality of the players.

"I haven't rewatched Hwang Hee-chan's foul yet, I'm not sure what happened at that time, but there's no doubt that we paid the price for our lack of calmness, which was unthinkable before. ”

'I'm not here to defend the players, but to say that we were under too much pressure in this game, which caused our players to get a little bit out of control and it led to the red card in the second half. ”

As for the two red cards that have resulted in Hwang Hee-chan and Lee Yong not playing in their next home game against Syria, Stillik said that it certainly had some impact, but he believes the team can overcome it.

There were many South Korean media at the scene, and some of them even openly asked Stillik that in the decades-long history of Korean football, there has never been a loss to China in two consecutive games like in the past six months, and both losses were so ugly.

The first was a home defeat and the second was even worse, with two red cards and three goals lost.

It can be said that the advantages of Chinese football that have been accumulated hard in the past few decades have been destroyed by Stillik and his players in just two games, and South Korean media reporters asked Stillik whether he would resign for this.

The German's face turned very ugly for a moment, but he still said very graciously that he was willing to take all the responsibility, and if the Korean Football Association believes that his resignation will be beneficial to the team's next game, then he is willing to accept it.

Stillik's predicament made Gao Han, who was sitting on the side, also full of sighs.

Professional football is so cruel, and sometimes a defeat is often a terrible price.

This made him keep excusing Stillik in his subsequent comments, saying that the South Korean team performed well in this game, which brought huge pressure to the Chinese team, and even after the Chinese team took a one-goal lead, it was the period when the South Korean team performed the best and had the most obvious advantage.

But, the red card changed everything.

Gao Han's meaning is very clear, this has nothing to do with Stillik, it is the player's own problem.

His words brought him Stillik's grateful eyes.

For this game, Gao Han said that this was a golden victory, which laid a key step for the Chinese team to qualify from the group, but more importantly, the national team played very overall in this game.

'It's arguably the best game I've ever played for the players since I took charge of the national team, the technique and tactics were very well executed, everyone had the same confidence and the same philosophy and they were all very involved in the game, which led to the win at home. ”

After this round of games, the Chinese team won all six games and scored 18 points to continue to lead Group A of the top 12, while the Chinese team was followed by Iran, which narrowly defeated Qatar 1-0 away in this round, which ranked second in the group with 13 points, while Uzbekistan made a mistake in this round and lost 0-1 to Syria away.

As a result, South Korea remained third in the group, while Uzbekistan failed to reverse and remained in fourth place.

Regarding the qualifying situation of the group, Gao Han said that the Chinese team is in a relatively advantageous position.

According to the rules of the top two teams in the group to qualify directly, with four rounds left in the group stage, the Chinese team is as many as 11 points ahead of the third-place South Korean team, and the qualification is basically a sure win.

But even so, Gao Han still refused to shout the slogan, and still cautiously said that the team still needs to continue to work hard, and continue to go all out in every game.

"I'm not saying this modestly at all, but the truth. ”

"Three of the remaining four games are away from home and have to travel long distances to the Middle East, and the remaining one is against Uzbekistan, so I don't think we have any leverage to be proud of. ”

"What I would like to appeal to the players, fans and media reporters here is that since the round of 12, we have fought hard every game, and without this hard work, without the unity and hard work of everyone in the team, we would not have been in the current situation of six consecutive wins. ”

"And we can win six in a row, and then we could lose four in a row. ”

"So, I want everybody to be calm and sensible, and think about what we're getting to where we are today, and what we're going to do next. ”

"I want to say that the top 12 is not our goal, and it is not our ultimate goal to reach the World Cup in Russia, our goal is that Chinese football can rise, the Chinese team can participate in every World Cup, we can compete with many of the world's top teams without falling behind, so that Chinese football can rise among the world's top teams. ”

"Now, we have achieved only a small amount of results, there is nothing to be proud of and complacent, and even the slightest carelessness will likely lead to another fiasco. ”

Gao Han's remarks convinced all the media reporters present, and even many South Korean reporters were stunned.

…………

…………

The next day, South Korean media reposted Gao Han's bold remarks at the post-match press conference.

For the progress of Chinese football in the past six months, the South Korean media believes that Gao Han can be described as a great contribution, especially the six consecutive victories in the top 12 matches, each of which can be regarded as a manifestation of Gao Han's coaching ability, and has been observed and learned by countless professional coaches.

And now, Gao Han has clearly shouted the slogan of revitalizing Chinese football, which will undoubtedly mean that in the next few years, or even decades, Chinese football will usher in rapid progress.

"Koreanophobia has been completely shattered, and the battle in Changsha caused South Korea heavy losses. ”

Some South Korean media believe that this is a humiliating fiasco, not only because of the 0-3 score, but also because of the two completely unnecessary red cards.

Many Korean netizens have also left messages on the Internet, saying, "Koreanophobia has completely collapsed, and our confidence has also collapsed, this is a game with desperate results and content, and Korean football will usher in Sinophobia." ”

Although many South Korean media believe that the referee showed red cards to two South Korean players at the same time, and there is a suspicion of taking care of the home team, they basically do not deny that Hwang Hee-chan's foul is indeed too bad, and even many Korean fans and reporters believe that the Korean Football Association should impose additional penalties and severely punish these two villains.

But more media reporters pointed the finger at Stillic.

This year's South Korean national team is known as the strongest South Korean team in history, and it is also considered to be the strongest team in Asia, especially the emergence of European first-line stars like Son Heung-min, which makes South Korea have high hopes.

But what I didn't expect was that after a few rounds of games, the current South Korean team was only ranked third in the group, and the qualifying situation was precarious, which made South Korea unsatisfied, and they called on Stillik to resign and the Football Association should make a decision.

Compared with the mourning of the South Korean media, the Chinese media and fans have praised and praised the national team's outstanding performance.

The authoritative party newspaper even said in a high-profile manner that the three-goal defeat of South Korea completely witnessed the destruction of Koreanphobia.

"The start of the teenager Zhao Jun and playing the whole game is undoubtedly the best embodiment and proof of the Chinese team under Gao Han's rule. ”

This means that the technical and tactical play of the Chinese team has become mature and stable, and a group of young players led by Zhao Jun will gradually provoke the pillars and banners of the national team. ”

The media also believes that there is still a lot of potential for the attack in the midfield, especially in time, when a group of foreign players led by Zhang Yuning, Yang Xin, Wang Lei, Gao Ren, Wei Shihao and Lin Liangming mature, the overall strength of the Chinese team will be steadily improved, which will greatly enhance the competitiveness of the Chinese team in Asia.

The battle between China and South Korea in Changsha once again detonated the ratings of domestic football games, and also monopolized the Weibo hot search list, which can be said to have evolved into a national event, and the national football team was able to defeat South Korea 3-0 at home and let the opponent's two players get red cards, which can be said to have won all the inside and face.

After winning South Korea, the Chinese team can basically be sure to get the right to qualify, unless the next four consecutive defeats, and they are all fiasco, otherwise, with the current group situation, the Chinese team can at least get the third place in the group.

It can be said that this is the best World Cup situation in history.

"In tonight's battle, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is, it can't describe the mood and excitement of the Chinese fans, but a thousand words can't be confided, and in the end it can only be gathered into one sentence: Thank you, Gao Han!"
