The Chinese team's side is usually 4231 configuration, double back, three midfielders, single forward, the top is Zhang Yuan, before this game, since Perrin has made up his mind to attack his brother and hand it over to Zhang Yuan, then he will naturally give Zhang Yuan unlimited freedom and the right to fire, whatever you want, anyway, don't set yourself on fire.

On the Korean side, Stillik naturally sent his own 352, because everyone was equivalent to hoarding heavy troops in the midfield, so when the game started, the core area of the two teams fighting was in the midfield.

What did Zhang Yuan do, retreat, like a midfielder, so the Chinese team actually has 6 players in the midfield, which can not be wiped out by five midfielders, Sun Xingmin actually doesn't like to retreat to the middle of the road, he is very used to involving the side, which may have something to do with his habits in the club.

In a short period of time, there were a lot of fouls on the court, and everyone could only use this opportunity to hit within the core 25 meters of the opponent, but it didn't work.

Stillik frowned on the sidelines, no wonder, the Chinese team said that the Chinese team had less time to rest than the South Korean team, but this morale started really well, especially the defense was relatively tight, and the interception success rate in the midfield was relatively high.

The South Korean team can't do anything with the Chinese team for a while, of course, the Chinese team because of Zhang Yuan's retreat, the pressure on the South Korean team is even less, and there is no threat, but the three defenders of the South Korean team dare not be careless, dare not rush up, have seen Zhang Yuan A lot of beautiful goal highlights, not smart will learn smart, Zhang Yuan uses his fast-paced dribbling and super ball control ability, and it is not rare to practice several people to stage a good goal.

The rash upward pressure may be caused by Zhang Yuan's sudden frenzy, so that the defender has no chance to retreat!

Perrin was also nervous, like a student going through the college entrance examination, but as the situation stabilized, his heart was still relieved a lot.

The Chinese team is indeed in good shape today, especially the regional joint defense arranged by Perrin is in place, and the players of the South Korean team will face the bag of several players of the Chinese team as soon as they get the ball, and the route to the front is basically cut off.

In the face of such a situation, there will always be a few powerful breakouts and passers in the top teams, either using breakthroughs to seek variables, or opening up the width, running long pass scheduling to mobilize the opponent's defense, of course, if there is a high school striker, there is another kind, directly looking for the center point, and the midfield follows up to find the second landing point.

But the South Korean team is not so powerful, the level of passing is not top-notch, and there are really not many good players who break through, so they can only fight hand-to-hand with the Chinese team.

Helping his teammates adapt to the atmosphere on the field, Zhang Yuan no longer retreats, but moves sideways smartly, dodging the marking of the South Korean team's back, finding space to catch the ball and killing forward, his mentality today is indeed very relaxed, and he is really so comforting himself, once every four years, I have at least three more times, I will always catch it.

The more relaxed he is, the better his sense of the ball, defending his Ji Chengyong is quite difficult, Ji Chengyong is about the same size as Zhang Yuan, and a little taller, currently playing for Swansea, is the absolute main force in Swansea, his long pass is actually not bad, but Stillik is a bit of a failure to use him as a defensive back, his speed can't keep up with Zhang Yuan, and he is not as dexterous as Zhang Yuan.

In the 12th minute, Zhang Yuan flashed, and quickly received a pass from his teammates, Ji Chengyong was half a beat slower, and it was too late to rush down the shovel, Zhang Yuan had already taken him, and then he didn't raise his head, directly in the midfield more than 40 meters away, and directly shot at the door of the South Korean team.

This is another negligence of the South Korean team, their central defenders did not dare to press forward, and they couldn't stand the courage of goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun, and their footsteps unconsciously moved to the front of the big penalty area.

Zhang Yuan has been observing for a while, and this time he made such a bold attempt, Jin Zhenxuan watched the ball come straight to the goal, and hurriedly ran back, but unfortunately Zhang Yuan's big foot shot was still a little bigger, slightly higher than the goal beam, but Jin Jinxuan's performance was very embarrassing.

The Chinese fans in the stands let out exclamations and cheerful applause, and Kim Jin-hyun's expression was more embarrassed and embarrassing.

Stillik didn't say anything with a cold face on the sidelines, and at this time he realized that he had actually had the upper hand over the Chinese team for a long time, even if there was more Zhang Yuan now, the players of the South Korean team still unconsciously despised a little psychologically, and the South Korean team, commonly known as the undead, couldn't fight the Chinese team's midfielder, which was unreasonable, right? !

A goalkeeper like Kim Jin-hyun dares to take it lightly in front of Zhang Yuan?!

Zhang Yuanyuan watched the ball fly off the crossbar and had to hold his head with both hands, such an opportunity is hard to come by, and it will be difficult to get such an opportunity next time.

Zhang Yuan's threat to the South Korean team is more than once, every time he gets the ball, it does not bring a huge deterrent to the South Korean team, but the Chinese team's pressure is very irresolute, and the support of teammates for Zhang Yuan is far from enough, this is Peilan's suppression, he doesn't want the midfield to be pressed, timid!

Zhang Yuan was not discouraged after several helpless passes or lost the ball, this game is about perseverance, whoever makes a defensive mistake first, then whoever has a 70% chance of being unlucky, Peilan's choice is timid, but I have to say that this will minimize the possibility of the Chinese team making mistakes, so Zhang Yuan does not complain, he still does what he can as always, even if he can temporarily control the ball at the feet of the Chinese team.

After 20 minutes, Stillik first squatted a little bit and began to look for changes, he asked the players to strengthen the breakthrough when the time was right, and when the penetration method did not work, he began to force such a method, the breakthrough ability is not good, but now it is necessary to be bold.

When the South Korean team strengthened its attempts in this regard, the Chinese team's life began to become difficult, not that they were so powerful, but it gave the Chinese team a feeling of unreasonableness, whether they were encircled or not, or dared to hold the ball forward, Son Heung-min and Lee Ting-sub were making such attempts, and the midfielders behind them got a few long-range opportunities in the chaos, allowing Wang Lei to make two wonderful saves.

It's fair to say that the South Korean team is not in very good shape, otherwise Stillik would not have taken such an extreme approach.

But when such a way is delayed in opening the door to the Chinese team, what Stillik can do is to stop as soon as possible, and in such a final atmosphere, he will not be under less pressure than Perran.

That's the story of the whole first half, everyone played 0:0 into a dull draw, the Chinese team was at a disadvantage, the ball control shots were lower than the South Korean team, only Zhang Yuan's long-distance hanging shot was an extreme threat, as for the South Korean team, they had a few wonderful shots, all of which were opportunities to get in the chaos, but the shots were slightly hasty, and the threats were resolved by Wang Lei.

At halftime, the players of both teams were very tired, they had experienced so many games in a month, the time interval was so short, it was no wonder that they were not tired, the Chinese team's training after the victory over the United Arab Emirates was a few days of recovery training, and there was no high-intensity practice, and there was no internal confrontation, and it was not easy to play in such a state in the first half today.

In the first half, the Chinese team did a better job in interception, but the quality of the attack was really not good, and the facts also told Perrin that it would not work to rely on Zhang Yuan for the least support at least in the offensive side, Zhang Yuan did not play badly, on the contrary, he was very active, and every time he got the ball, he could make the players of the South Korean team nervous, but in the end it was still a dead end.

Zhang Yuan can also recognize this, and at halftime he boldly suggested to Perrin that we can also try to attack at the beginning of the second half, try to attack first, this move must be unexpected by the South Korean team, and Stillik would not have thought that the conservative we would attack at all.

This idea is very tempting, Perrin hesitated again, why did he engage in defensive counterattacks, because in his opinion, the strength of the Chinese team is very weak, and in this Cup, the Chinese team's defense and counterattack play is quite good, which also gives him a lot of confidence, so at the level of the final, he can't help but be more conservative.
