Chapter 241: A Contest of Self-Esteem

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

At the World Cup stadium, fierce battles continue......

The further the game went, the more anxious the situation became.

"Now that the game has reached the seventieth minute of the second half, the FC team has been playing a little passively, and Güneshi has just taken the lead in making a personnel adjustment, replacing the attacking Li Xuyan player with Gao Mingzhen in the back and strengthening the thickness of the midfield, but it seems that the situation has not changed......" KBS commentator Han Jae-sheng at the game site was gushing about the shape on the field.

The TV screen suddenly shifted to the bench of the FC team, and Güneš was staring at the game with anxious eyes on the field. The row of substitute players behind him was also focused on the field, including Li Xuyan, who had just been replaced.

Li Xuyan's swing today is not good, except for the corner kick to assist Dejan to score, the table of the whole game is decent, there are no mistakes, and there are no bright spots.

For a defender, no mistakes are the greatest success, but for an offensive player, no bright spots are the biggest mistakes. In particular, Lee Wook Yan, who has been faintly starting to become the core of the team's attack since the derby with Suwon Samsung National, had no bright spots in this game, which made the FC team's offense lackluster and lacking.

The lack of ēixié in the team's attack also put more pressure on the backline in the face of Shandong 1N's crazy counterattack.

I don't know what the reason is, Güneshi always felt that Li Xuyan's jingshén today was a little unfocused, and his expression did not reach the best level he expected. So he replaced Li Xuyan with Gao Mingzhen when the situation became more and more passive in the second half, which means that he intends to give up the attack and want to keep the score of 1:O.

However, in football, when a team gives up attacking and only wants to win by defending to the death, it is often ruthlessly abandoned by Lady Luck.

Will this tragedy be played out on the FC team?

In the seventy-ninth minute of the game, seeing the time pass minute by minute, the Shandong 1N team, which had been unable to attack for a long time, finally won a corner kick opportunity by Wang Xiaolong on the right side. Shandong's free-kicks were basically covered by their Serbian foreign player Zhivkovic, and of course this corner kick was no exception.

To say that the Shandong team's offensive performance in this game is not much better than Le FC. In the face of the team's stubborn defense, they have not been able to create any absolute scoring opportunities.

So when positional warfare can't open the situation. You can only rely on set-pieces to change the score on the field.

Güneš knew this, too, so he got up from his seat and kept his eyes fixed on the team's penalty area.

He was nervous if he was equalized by Shandong 1n. The team's AFC Champions League journey will almost be sentenced to death......

I saw Zhivkovic standing in the corner area. The referee blows the whistle. Run, kick up, the ball arcs and passes to the middle of the penalty area......

"The goalkeeper is out!" Commentator Han Jae-sheng yelled.

There was a crowd in the penalty area. I saw the tall player in the orange jersey leap high and rush to meet the goalkeeper before he touched the ball......

At this moment, the hearts of everyone present rose to their throats.

Just listen to "Bang! The sound of ......

"Oh!! No!!!! Han Jae-sheng shouted in despair as he watched the ball fly towards the goal.

A second later, the referee's whistle sounded to announce the goal.

1:1……

Shandong 1n relied on their one-meter-high Colombian foreign central defender Cicero to equalize the score with a corner kick.

At the moment of conceding the ball, Günesh's tall body seemed to be suddenly so short when he stood on the sidelines, he didn't jump like thunder, he didn't beat his chest, he just stood there motionless, looking at the players and coaches of the Shandong 1n team who were celebrating wildly.

The score was levelised......

The rest of the bench was also wide-eyed, completely unable to accept the harsh reality. If the home team can't win Shandong 1N, then in the last two rounds of games, Shandong 1N only needs to win one more game, then even if the team wins the next two games, it will be eliminated because of the disadvantage of one draw and one loss in two games with Shandong 1N.

Now, the four teams in the K League participating in the AFC Champions League, Suwon Samsung and Pohang Steelers, have already qualified for their respective group tables, while Ulsan Hyundai, who have lost two consecutive games in the worst game, are now seeing their hopes of qualifying again after two consecutive wins against Beijing Guoan.

Only Er FC! This is the capital team that has gathered the most attention and support in South Korea, and the qualifying form is the worst. At the moment of conceding the goal, the fate of the team's elimination from the group stage seemed inevitable......

This is an unacceptable result! This is a humiliating ending that none of the supporters of the arrogant FC can accept!

So Güneshi thought of this, although he suffered a huge blow, but after a moment of distraction, he immediately came to his senses, and pressed the whole team with a wave of his big hand!

The situation on the field was reversed in an instant!

The Shandong team is defending with all its might, and the Er team is attacking on all fronts!

Shandong 1n also know that as long as they draw the opponent in this game, then their probability of qualifying will reach at least 90 percent, their remaining two games, one is at home against Gamba Osaka, which has already qualified, and the other is away against the Indonesian team Sriwijaya, who have lost all of the group so far, these two games only need to win one game, Shandong 1n will ensure that they qualify, and the premise is that FC must win all of them, otherwise the Shandong team does not even need to win a game to automatically qualify......

This is no longer expected by the national team in the Chinese football world, and the other three clubs in China have basically announced that there is no hope of qualifying for the AFC Champions League, Shandong 1n, as the Chinese champion team, will be able to use this to keep China and keep the last face of Chinese football! The meaning is heavy......

And this face will be saved by stepping on the face of the Korean metropolitan team.

So in order to keep this draw, the Shandong 1n team began to go all out......

The goalkeeper was injured. The team doctor enters the field......

The players cramped and the team doctor came in......

The player was injured and the team doctor came in......

The game could no longer be played in a coherent rhythm......

It wasn't until the referee's final whistle that the last ten minutes of the game ended in such fragmentation.

Shandong 1n's players, coaches, and fans are starting to party! FANGFO has already stepped into the AFC Champions League round of 16 knockout stage with half of its feet......

On the other hand, there was no sound at all, and the players and coaches walked quickly to the players' tunnel in silence, as if they didn't want to stay in the stadium for another second.

The disappointed fans in the stands either dispersed quietly or stayed on their own èizhi, unwilling to accept this result for a long time.

Li Xuyan also walked back to his lounge quickly. When passing by the mixed interview area, I was not hindered too much by the reporters. Most of the Chinese reporters who came to cover the focus of the match were very interested in Li Xuyan before the game. But at this juncture, it is clear that it is more meaningful to interview the players of their own country's team, so the Chinese reporters have forgotten about Li Xuyan for the time being, and surrounded the players and coaches of Shandong 1n.

The South Korean reporters wanted to stop it, and the whole team was not in the mood to be interviewed at this time. All ignored the reporter's outstretched microphone. Therefore, these Korean footmen can only go to the press conference hall stupidly. Counting on some content at the post-match conference.

……

in the locker room.

Günesh's face sank like water, all the players were silent, and the atmosphere was quite heavy......

Leonardo, the assistant coach who had been standing beside Güneš and didn't speak, exploded: "What are you doing?!" Lift your head up! There are two rounds left in the group stage. Are you going to give up now? We still have a chance, we haven't been eliminated yet! ”

"Cheer up, boys!" Leonardo clapped his hands and said, "I know that although the shape of the group qualification is very unfavorable to us now, even if Lady Luck does not favor us in the end, even if we still fail in the end, we must do our best before this, and do not give up on the chance of a miracle!" Miracles only favor those who never say die! ”

At this time, Güneshi raised his head and took over the conversation loudly: "I don't care if we can create a miracle in the end, I just want you to work hard!" Never be a coward who gives up on his own before the opportunity is completely lost! Even if you are going to be eliminated, I hope you can face the elimination with a victorious attitude! I want you to tell everyone with practical actions, we didn't give up, we fought until the last moment, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" shouted in unison, and the players who were still immersed in defeat just now were finally aroused to the bloody and unwilling in their hearts, and everyone understood that if they really gave up now, then they would be truly nailed to the pillar of shame in the Korean football world, and they would never be able to raise their heads and be human again.

"Li Xuyan!" Güneshi suddenly shouted, which couldn't help but startle Li Xuyan.

Güneš said in a deep voice: "You get ready for me to jingshén!" In the next round of the AFC Champions League against Sriwijaya, you will be the captain! ”

……

On the bus back to the hotel from the stadium, Lee Wook Yan received a call from Kim Tae-yeon.

"Hello, Brother Woo Yeon, I'm Kim Taeyeon." Kim Taeyeon said hello very formally, originally she didn't want to make this call, but she felt that it was still necessary to remind Li Xuyan about Zhao Tae-ho, so she still hit hard, but Li Xuyan's first sentence made her half angry......

"Hey, why are you?" It sounded a little surprised and cold, as if I didn't want her to make the call.

She was so angry that she hung up the phone.

She seems to be a little impulsive with this Li Xuyan recently, and when facing him, she will always lose her cool lightly, and her temper will become very bad......

This damn guy!

Originally, Kim Taeyeon thought that the other party would say something like "Ah, hello" when she picked it up, but she didn't expect it to be an unexpected cold "How are you", just like pouring a basin of cold water on her head. It's like a hot face on a cold ass, and it's very unpopular.

If I hadn't been kind, I wouldn't have called you!

……

Li Xuyan looked at the phone that suddenly hung up, a little inexplicable. Kim Taeyeon hadn't called him for a long time, and of course she would be surprised when she picked it up. Isn't that normal?

But he didn't think that the girl's delicate thoughts, and what he thought was a normal reaction might be another meaning in people's hearts?

"It's your rumored girlfriend calling, Xu Yan!" Xu Shengxun, who was sitting next to him, said jealously.

Li Xuyan didn't know how to answer, so he ignored him, but this made Xu Shengxun think that Li Xuyan was acquiescing, so he was even more envious and jealous.

Li Xuyan thought about it and broadcast the phone over......

"Hey, Taeyeon, you just looked for me......" Li Xu didn't finish his words, only to hear the hard man say......

"It's nothing, hang up."

Then all that was left on the phone was the beeping sound......

……

Originally, Li Xuyan was in a very irritable mood recently because of Zhao Taihao's affairs, and he was very depressed in the game just now, and now he encountered an inexplicable phone call, and Li Xuyan, who was more and more depressed, was even worse this time, and he was so angry that he almost wanted to drop the phone.

But fortunately, he still managed to hold on.

At this time, Xu Shengxun, who looked dead just now, seemed to suddenly come to jingshén, leaned over and asked, "What?" Got into a fight? ”

Li Xuyan, who was trying his best to control his feelings, couldn't help but turn his head and scold the guy who didn't have any eyesight at all, but suddenly the phone came again, and he picked it up and saw that it was still Kim Tae-yeon......

Li Xuyan, who has always been good-tempered, finally burst out in constant depression, picked up the phone and blurted out without thinking: "Hey, are you sick?" (To be continued......)
