As a top team in the continent, it is a painful thing to be completely suppressed on a bigger stage.
This kind of psychological gap, in fact, we also understand. For example, our Chinese men's basketball team is almost invincible in Asia, but when it comes to the outside, it is basically abused.
Asian football, in the face of strong European opponents, basically has no chance of winning.
But I can't see that others are powerful, so I just give up. Especially a strong-willed team like South Korea will fight to the death.
Lin: Koreans are still very bloody, and although they are behind by one goal, they quickly put themselves on the field.
The Croats are brave by nature, they are never satisfied with a short lead, and only a big enough advantage can ensure a real victory.
Wang: Their positive winning mentality is still desirable, after all, many teams have paid a heavy price for conservatism.
Even against a weak team, it is not safe to only lead by one goal when you have plenty of time.
Lin: It's safest not to give the opponent a chance to fight back, and Croatia is going to sacrifice the flag with South Korea today.
The Croats are a wolf-like attack, a combination of ferocity, speed and skill that is a headache for any team.
They were not as ferocious as the German tanks, but they were more resolute. They are not afraid of getting hurt and are not afraid of failure.
Wang: The three Ivan in the midfield, Rakitic, Perisic, and Mocinic, although they are not brothers, they have been working together for a long time, so that they have the same heart.
Three Ivans. Odd is divided into left, center and right, constantly passing the ball, infiltrating the South Korean penalty area.
Lin: The South Korean team's backline is dominated by Kim Chang-so, Kim Joo-young, and Kim Young-kwon, but in the face of Croatia's fierce impact, they had to withdraw Goo Ji-chul and Park Joo-ho to participate in the defense.
South Korea's formation had to be disrupted, in a dying struggle, hoping only that the first half would end quickly.
Forty minutes have passed, and the Croatians are still attacking the South Korean defence.
Every second is an ordeal for the South Korean team and their fans.
Wang: It's like a live frog roasted on an iron plate, and the feeling of wandering between life and death is really torturous.
The South Koreans were strong enough to survive waves of attacks, breaking the ball off the line and giving Croatia a corner on 43 minutes.
Lin: The Croatians, desperate to score again and extend the score. Therefore, they were quite careful in the arrangement of this corner kick, and there were actually eight players gathered in the front court.
The ball was served by Mocinic at the corner flag, only to see him rush forward, like stepping on the wind, rubbing his right foot forward, and the ball flew quickly towards the halfway line.
There are no less than 6 people gathered there, and there are players from South Korea and Croatia.
Whew, the ball was in the air, and everyone took off to grab the ball.
Wang: Don't look at the Koreans who don't have any advantage in height and strength, but their sense of scrambling is extremely good.
Under their interference, no one actually reached the ball, and the ball flew over Mandzukic's head.
Lin: Croatia's best stunt has failed. However, the ball, which did not fly far, was still controlled by the Croatians.
Brozovic won the ball and quickly delivered an overhead ball that fed back to Mocinic on the left, who was already back on the pitch to take part in the attack.
Wang: Mocinic's short pass transitioned to Mandzukic, and the Korean team was immediately surrounded by two people in front and back, but they were scared by Mandzukic.
Lin: Mandzukiqi didn't see how much he could do about it, and suddenly he made a clever backheel pass that rolled out of the gap and towards the left back.
A white shadow rushed up, swept with a swing leg, and the ball, diagonally pierced, went straight to the far corner on the right side of the goal.
Wang: It's Perisic! This shadow killer, after Mandzukic, suddenly flashed his sword.
Lin: Since the Korean team's defensive focus is on Mandzukic, Perisic plays freely.
Mandzukic's attack also confused the defenders, and most crucially, this shot was blocked by Mandzukic and two defenders.
When he found that the football was coming through the air, he went to pounce again, and he had already lost the opportunity.
I could only watch the football fly into the net and bounce off the ground.
Wang: At 44 minutes, almost the end of the first half, the Croatians opened the door to victory again.
At this time, the referee raised a card and signaled that there was 3 minutes of stoppage time for the injury. Once again, the South Korean team is in the abyss.
Lim: At the end of the first half, South Korea were two goals down, and in the second half, they will go all out and try to score a goal and fight for glory.

Koreans and Chinese come from the same origin, and with the popularity of Korean dramas and Korean entertainment in recent years, more Chinese people have learned about Korean culture.
Although Koreans have a bad problem of intentional adultery, let's not laugh at others, this is a common problem all over the world.
Japanese people are not good at sports, but other people's comics are great, didn't they create classics such as "Slam Dunk" and "Football Player"?
Even the Americans also created Superman and Batman to satisfy vanity.
They are not like ours with 5,000 years of history, which is broad and profound, and some have culture to show off.
Even so, don't people still like to use literary works to seek comfort, there are Jin Yong and Gu Long as far away, and there are three young people and three uncles in the world they build, and countless people are tired of it.
However, it must be admitted that the efforts and persistence of Koreans are something that many Koreans need to learn.
Lin: Koreans are in a situation where China is juxtaposed with China in all kinds of sports events in Asia.
For example, Sun Yang, Park Taehuan swimming hegemony, and earlier men's basketball competition, all make Chinese remember it vividly.
It's a blessing to be able to find a rival in an area. It has played a good role in the improvement and supervision of Chinese sports.
In particular, the willpower of Koreans is not possessed by other Asian opponents.
Just like the current situation on the field, Croatia's airtight defense is as solid as an iron plate, and it is as if it has been sealed with ice.
Therefore, the South Korean team must find a weapon to break the ice.
South Korea's midfield, known for its dexterity, is like a dagger, although short, but extremely sharp.
In particular, Lee Qinglong, Son Heung-min, and Lee Eun-ho can be said to be the only hope for the South Korean team to counterattack.
Wang: The Korean Mbas are very experienced in running, and their running positions are unpredictable, and they make the tall Croatians tired, but it is difficult to catch up with the rolling football.
Lin: The Koreans copied our footwork. This is Duan Yu's 'Ling Bo Weibu'!
Wang: Well, it seems that in the first few years, Duan Yu in the filming of "Dragon Babu" was played by a Korean Oba, and it seems that he was an undercover agent, who came to us to learn from the teacher. Lin: If Croatia is good at using artillery, South Korea is good at using pistols. Croatia is a giant axe and a hammer, and South Korea is a dagger and a knife.
Wang: This is your Lin Jiaotou's profession, and it seems that South Korea still has some means.
Lin: As the saying goes, 'it's easy to dodge in the open, but it's the hardest to defend against in the dark', and the Koreans can still make surprise attacks with their flexible positioning and clever maneuvers.
Looking at this goal, South Korea covered and interspersed in the midfield, and Li Qinglong cut the goal from the middle, he swept it from the corner of his eye and nudged it with his right foot.
The ball stealthily passed through the backs of two defenders and landed straight in front of Son Heung-min on the left.
What a wonderful pass! Broke the Croatian defense in an instant, making Son Heung-min face the goalkeeper directly.
Wang: The goalkeeper roared and attacked directly, raising his arms high to block Son Heungmin's shot angle.
South Korea's son, bold enough, but smarter, shook his ankle in an instant, changed his shot to a pass, and the ball flew sideways in front of the goalkeeper.
Horizontal passing, but it's a big taboo, it's easy to be broken by defenders.
Lin: Li Qinglong has already chased the ball, and at the same time, Croatian defender Pranic has already kicked the ball.
The ball seemed to flicker in the air, and Pranic pushed too hard and slid past it.
Li Qinglong waited for a positive moment, he had already adjusted the angle during the run, at this time, his right foot swept, dribbled with all his strength, and the ball was launched!
Wang: The ball is in!! Beautiful cooperation, the Korean team relied on unremitting efforts and exquisite cooperation to win back a city.
Lin: 2:1! The South Korean team is worthy of being the top team in Asia, and it still dares to attack in the face of difficulties.
If they use a counter-attack, they may not be able to take advantage, so they give full play to their flexible characteristics, and finally tear a crack open and plunge a dagger into the opponent's heart.
They are the pioneers of icebreaking, and they naturally have a weapon for breaking ice-breaking - icebreakers.
......
Lin: After 90 minutes of battle, Croatia won 2-1 against South Korea to take the lead in the first round.
However, although the South Korean team lost, they were still honorable despite the defeat and did not lose too many goals, and still kept their hopes of advancing to the knockout round.
Wang: It's already 3 o'clock in the morning, thank you for your waiting, that's all for today's live broadcast, the wonderful World Cup, all in "Extraordinary Sports".
