"Look at the Chinese team's attack this time. ”

"Wu Lei on the left side, take the inside line, and cross low to the penalty area. ”

"There is a chance! Zhang Yuning grabbed the ...... directly in front of the door"

"Dangerous !!!"

Kwon Soon-tae made a flying save at the critical moment and blocked Jang Yuning's shot into the far corner. ”

"The South Korean goalkeeper's save was crucial and timely. ”

Zhang Yuning looked very depressed. ”

"He's had a couple of chances to score in a row, but unfortunately he was left speechless either by the post or by the goalkeeper. ”

"But we have to admit that the Chinese team played very sharply on several counterattacks in the first half. ”

"The current situation of the South Korean team is indeed a little anxious, especially the mentality of the players, which should be a point that the Chinese team can take advantage of next, after all, our pressure is not as great as that of South Korea, even if this game is drawn, we are still the first in the group, and we have an absolute advantage in the qualification. ”

Many players have come over to comfort Zhang Yuning, the popular Ajax shooter seems to have some deviations in his feet in this game, and he is always a little short of a goal. ”

…………

…………

Gao Han also applauded vigorously on the sidelines, applauding the team's counterattack.

Hao Junmin's sudden insertion just now definitely reflects the wisdom of this midfielder, not only pulling away a defensive player for Wu Lei, but also greatly enriching the Chinese team's frontcourt attack.

At that time, Wu Lei had three choices, he could pass Artemisia Junmin, cross from the bottom, or go inside, cut inside or pass into the penalty area, and finally Wu Lei chose the last one, which was a choice made in line with the development trend of the game.

Sometimes that's how the attacking opportunity comes up.

If there was no Artemisia Junmin's sleeve at that time, it would not be too simple for the Korean team to defend.

Therefore, Gao Han used to hear people say that the lack of offensive strength of the national team was due to the lack of strength of the players, and he didn't believe it at all.

"Don't feel any pressure, keep up that rhythm and stay focused. ”

"Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, pay attention to defense. ”

Gao Han was not carried away by several sharp counterattacks in a row, on the contrary, he kept his calm, because he knew that defense in this game was the most important thing, as long as he held it, the opportunity to score would come sooner or later.

With the current mentality of the South Korean team, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the Chinese team.

Especially going into the second half, they will collapse sooner or later.

By that time......

Gao Han's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

…………

…………

Thirty minutes into the clock, the South Koreans began to press forward and unleashed a wave of dangerous attacks.

Gao Han quickly saw the team's problems, especially the back line, which was pressed too far back, so he immediately reminded Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting again, and then let the three offensive players in the front court press out, don't go back.

The defensive position is interlocking, the front trident is the shield of the midfield, and the midfield is the barrier of the back line, as long as the front court withstands the pressure, the midfield is relatively much easier, and in turn, the midfield is also a strong support for the front field.

The three lines complement each other and are closely combined, which can form a solid defensive position.

With the passage of time, especially after the first half entered the closing stage, the offensive intensity of the South Korean team continued to rise, especially in the 41st minute, the Korean team's right side passed and received the ball and penetrated into the Chinese team's penalty area.

After the South Korean team took a corner kick, Zhao Jun grabbed the first landing point and cleared the ball with a header.

But soon, the South Korean team was not willing to give up and immediately made a comeback, this time playing on the left side.

Son Heung-min used his personal ability to force the ball into the penalty area on the left side, but the subsequent cross was taken by Feng Xiaoting and pushed out of the bottom line, not allowing the opponent's high school striker Kim Shin-wook to have a chance to create a threat with a header.

South Korea also realized that this was the last attack of the first half, and all the tall players pressed into the Chinese team's penalty area, even the goalkeeper pressed to the halfway line.

But as a result, after the corner kick was taken, Zeng Cheng quickly attacked, took off the ball, firmly protected the ball, and did not let the South Korean team have the slightest chance, and directly dragged the game to halftime.

Tied at 0-0, the two sides eventually shook hands and ended the first half.

But from the looks of the players on both teams as they walked off the pitch, it was clear that the mentality of the two teams was very different.

The Chinese players were somewhat happy and happy with the result, while the South Korean players were more irritable and depressed.

Even the number one star Son Heung-min looked a little restless and returned to the locker room without looking back.

…………

…………

"Well done, guys!"

In the home team's locker room after the game, Gao Han looked at the eleven internationals in front of him with a smile and praised loudly.

"I'm very proud of the way you did in the first half, you managed to fend off the South Korean attack, and everybody knows how difficult it was, but you did it and you did it well. ”

The praise and affirmation from the head coach made all the players in the locker room look a lot more relaxed, and some players couldn't help but laugh, and their mentality was still relatively relaxed.

'It's a shame we didn't take a couple of good chances, otherwise the result would have been better. Zheng Zhi laughed.

"Isn't it? If you can score a goal, you can see how those Korean sticks play in the second half. ”

"The draw is like that, if they are really behind, I guess they will go crazy. ”

"Hah, who's to say it's not?"

The players, you are talking word by word, but the face of the center forward Zhang Yuning is a little not good-looking.

"I'm sorry, guys, I'm going to work hard in the second half. ”

It was only at this time that everyone realized that they had accidentally stimulated the young player just now.

"Don't be stupid, a post, a great save from the goalkeeper, you can't do anything about it, you've done enough. Feng Xiaoting, who was sitting near Zhang Yuning, smiled and comforted.

"yes, don't take it personally, the goal will come sooner or later. Zheng Zhi also persuaded.

The other players also immediately followed the two captains and comforted Zhang Yuning.

Although the center forward who plays for Ajax is younger, he has good strength, and now he can be said to have established himself in the national team, and is regarded as the current number one center forward in the team, and his teammates also recognize his strength.

"Well, I don't need to say anything else. Gao Han clapped his hands vigorously.

"As I have repeatedly stressed to you before the game, in the whole of Asia, we are not weaker than any other opponent, even South Korea and Japan, we are confident enough to compete with our opponents. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Han smiled confidently and swept the international player in front of him, "I don't know if you believe what I said before, but now, no one should doubt it anymore, right?"

All the internationals nodded their heads.

The top 12 matches have been played to this, and if anyone still doubts Gao Han's words, it is definitely a brain problem.

In the past few games, the Chinese team has played very hard in every game, it can be said that they have fought hard all the way, and every player has been constantly polishing their minds and improving their confidence in this kind of arduous battle.

"I have always said before the game that this game is not important, but I believe that you all understand the importance of it, and I always believe that this kind of game does not require any mobilization, and each and every one of you will do everything you can to give it your all. ”

All the players nodded their heads incessantly.

They once thought that the national football team would miss the top 12 again, but what they didn't expect was that at the last moment, Gao Han turned the tide and led the team all the way to the top 12, and won five consecutive victories in the top 12.

It can be said that now they have not only reached the round of 12, but even see the hope of rushing to the World Cup.

In this case, each and every one of them is full of eagerness, because this is their first, and probably even the last, to reach for the World Cup.

If you miss it, I'm afraid you won't have a chance anymore.

This is not only true for veteran Zheng Zhi, but also for players such as Feng Xiaoting.

The World Cup that countless of them have dreamed of is right in front of them, and if they can't catch it, it will become their lifelong regret.

"After the first half, everyone knew very well that playing the Korean team was to maintain patience, first grasp their own defense, make themselves invincible, and then slowly wait for the opponent to make mistakes. ”

After a pause, Gao Han held up an analysis report that had just been sent by assistant coach Sergio Garcia in his hand, and said with a smile: "South Korea made a lot of mistakes in the first half, whether it was from the line-up, or from the on-field performance, or the mental outlook of the players, I believe you all know very well that the opponent is determined to win this game, they must win three points, and I can guarantee that they will give their all in the second half." ”

"Never underestimate the mental will of the Korean players, but never underestimate ourselves, I believe that you can let go of all the pressure and fear, overcome all kinds of difficulties, and stay calm and rational enough. ”

Gao Han walked among the players, his eyes sweeping over each player one after another.

"What I ask of you is very simple, play at our level, play the defensive tactics and formations that we have practiced in training, and our counter-attacks, I believe that as long as we hold on, the opponent will make mistakes, and more than once, and if we catch one of them, then they will die. ”

"Guys!" Gao Han shouted vigorously.

"The opponent needs these three points to save their lives, but we need these three points to qualify for the World Cup, and as long as we win these three points, we will not only completely break the nightmare of Koreanophobia that has been hanging on the head of Chinese football for decades, but we will also be one step closer to the World Cup. ”

"In the stands behind us, there are 40,000 fans, who have been cheering for us since the beginning of the game, and there are hundreds of millions, even billions of Chinese compatriots sitting in front of the TV, you ......."

Gao Han stretched out his hand and pointed at each player, "You wear this jersey, it means that they are going to fight, you carry their wishes, they are eager to see the rise of Chinese football, they are eager to watch their national teams enter the World Cup like fans in other countries." ”

"I promise, as long as you do what I say, as long as you meet my requirements, I promise you that you will definitely be able to win the opponent tonight, so that the invincible South Korea will leave China with a historic fiasco!"

"And we will step on the corpse of South Korea and enter the World Cup!"
