Chapter 243: The Great War between Korea and Japan
January 25th
It is destined to be an unforgettable day for the fans of the Asian Red Devils, whether it is the fans in South Korea, the fans who like South Korea all over the world, or the fans who want South Korea to beat Japan, cheering for the Korean team in front of the TV and the computer.
At 9:30 p.m. Korea time, the bus of the Korean team appeared on the TV of the three major broadcasting bureaus, and the bus door opened, starting from the coach to the team doctor, starting from Jung Sung-ryong to ending with Park Ji-sung, and the players all entered the stadium where they were going to play tonight with a strict expression.
Bai Canhao is also a rare person who did not smile at the camera, and the moment he got out of the car, to be precise, before setting off from the hotel, Bai Canhao felt that the atmosphere around him was completely different.
Korea Olympic Center
Thousands of fans gathered in a corner of the square, in addition to the Olympic Center, there were also fans gathered near the Guanghua Gate and the City Hall, each wave wearing red cheering uniforms, and the time happened to be the most leisurely time of the night.
All idol groups poured out of the nest and performed in three different places, among them, the artists of SH Entertainment Company also poured out of the nest, in addition to FT and CN, JYJ was exceptional, it was really an exception to the support stage, and then the five signed models also sang a song, this song was specially for the five-a-side zuò, and the rest of the artists also came to the scene, including Kang Ho-dong, Cha Seung-won, Kim So-yeon, Baek Jin-hee, etc.
In the crowd, Jiang Hudong's big head and big voice are still so conspicuous, since the problem of taxes has been solved, Jiang Hudong's 2 days and 1 night are still a national variety show, and the running man hosted by Liu Zaishi goes hand in hand. Contender's weekend ratings.
Next to it is Cha Seung-won. And right next to Cha Seung-won. It's not an artist from SH Entertainment, but Yoo Jae-seok.
"Brother Hudong, when will I see Chanhao."
Jiang Hudong pouted and said, "Don't worry, I'll come out in a while." ”
Che Shengyuan was caught in the middle and said a little unpleasantly: "Brothers, if you want to speak, you can change your position, don't nag like this on the left and on the right?" ”
Locker room at the Garafa Stadium in Qatar
"Today's tactic is to play steadily, the Japanese side will definitely control the rhythm, don't rush to steal, and start to press all over the court after 20 minutes in the first half. We had to hold on until the 70 minutes of the second half, remembering that our strength was in our body. ”
"Got it"
pinched the shoulders of the team members one by one, and when it was Bai Canhao's turn, Zhao Guanglai's eyes showed an expression of please, and Bai Canhao also nodded unconsciously.
Here he is not the oldest, he is not the oldest, but he is the most valuable and famous in the team, just because of this. Bai Canhao must shoulder the responsibility of winning and losing, which he should and must bear. It used to be like this in the World Cup, when everyone didn't pay attention, and on the way back to the locker room after the game, Bai Canhao secretly touched a handful of tears, he was just a 23-year-old child.
5 minutes before the start of the game, the starting players of the second team gathered in the passage of the entrance to the field, and next to Bai Chanhao stood Shinji Kagawa, a star known as Japan's rising star and hope for the future, in front of him was Keisuke Honda, and next to Keisuke Honda stood the rising star of the Korean team, Son Heung-min.
Officially entering the field, the expressions of the players of the second team are very strict, which can be seen from the time of waiting just now, there will be some communication between the previous teams, but there is no between these two teams, the reason is very simple, they don't want to lose to each other, and it is also the reason why the media gave these people pressure before the game.
After the end of the national anthem, the two teams lined up to take pictures, and after taking a group photo, the two sides returned to their own half to prepare for the game.
On the broadcast station, the anchors and commentators of the three major broadcasting bureaus passionately commented on today's starting 11-man list, which is still the strongest lineup, and also proposed that the Japanese team is also the strongest lineup sent today.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began
Like the tactics arranged by Zhao Guanglai before the game, the South Korean team contracted as a whole after the opening, did not try to control the rhythm, and gave the ball to the Japanese team, but only contracted the defense in the middle of the side, allowing the opponent to go back and forth to find an opportunity to attack.
This arrangement Zhao Guanglai also thought about it for a long time before deciding, firstly, the rear of the South Korean team can get experience in this game, how to play when facing a technical team, and second, once the Japanese team makes a mistake in attack, on the front line, Son Heung-min and Baek Chan-ho have speed, technology and momentum, and can look for opportunities to sneak attack each other.
Of course, such a plan can only be applied to a small part of the time, and if it continues like this for a long time, the momentum of the Korean team will definitely be hit.
The fans couldn't understand what was going on, they only knew that the South Korean team handed over the initiative after the opening, Olympic Plaza, Jiang Hudong and others all stared at the screen and sighed, in addition to them, the fans present and the artists who watched the game at home were very anxious.
20 minutes later, the situation on the field suddenly changed, the South Korean team, which had just contracted the defense, suddenly began to counterattack, directly forced the rhythm to speed up, and began to press all over the court, when facing the team controller, the feet were not soft, and they were all cooperating with the defense, Bai Canhao also participated in the defense on the right side, and Kagawa Shinji, who was opposite him, was miserable, and he suffered completely, losing to Bai Canhao in height and weight, focusing on foot technology, speed and prediction ability also lost.
I have been complaining in my heart, when the coach arranged for him to be against Bai Chanhao, Shinji Kagawa was like a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis, and Honda, the only one who understood him, was not easy to say, and he had a lot of pressure, facing Park Ji-sung, as for the back line, so far he has not suffered the impact of the young player Son Heung-min is slightly better.
From the first half to the end of the game, the South Korean team slowly regained possession, and when they did not find the best opportunity, the players on the field were also patiently chamfering.
At halftime, the game started again 15 minutes later, and the coach of the Japanese team had expected that the South Korean team would definitely start strongly at the beginning of the second half, and at the same time implement full-court pressing, arranging the players to collectively shrink their own half of the defense, and sure enough, the South Korean team launched a crazy tide of attacks at the beginning of the second half.
From the 45th minute to the 70th minute for a full 25 minutes, the South Korean team got a total of 5 chances to hit the goal, but unfortunately 5 times did not break the deadlock, the most threatening one touched the middle of the way, after getting rid of the opponent's two defenders, he suddenly got up and shot coldly, the ball went out against the turf, and was finally blocked by the goalpost, the fans were very sorry, and the goalkeeper of the Japanese team, Kawashima Eiji, was shocked into a cold sweat.
Soon, both sides made personnel changes, with Kim Shin Wook replacing Son Heung-min with Kim Shin-wook and Yeon Ki-hoon with Lee Cheong-ryong, allowing Park Ji-sung to pull down the position of the organization's forward midfield, and Lee Cheong-ryong was responsible for attacking on the left wing.
After the substitution adjustment, the Japanese team began to counterattack, and their coach told the players that the Korean team's body was no longer known, and now was the best time to attack.
Who knew that the Korean team was still the same as just now, continuing to press all over the court, the point was that no one saw a big pluck on the physical side, although they were covered in sweat, but none of the 11 players on the field showed fatigue or couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
"Republic of Korea, pop!"
The fans will always be the 12th player on the field, not only because they give the players the courage to attack and the perseverance to defend, but also in Bai Canhao's view, the fans' support is to give them the belief and determination to win.
The Olympic Center also began to support en masse, and I don't know who started singing, "Oh, win Korea!" Then everyone started singing, and it was a shocking scene. (To be continued......)
