Section 218 South Korea elimination

In the course of this year's World Cup, there were many upsets, and the South Korean team's victory over the former World Cup champion France with a score of 1:0 was also a big upset.

In this game, it was not Park Ji-sung, who scored the only goal of the game, who was rated as the best player, but Lee Kyung-won, the young goalkeeper of the South Korean team, and this selection result is also very special.

Although Lee Kyung-won was named the best player, no one was surprised, needless to say, the members of the Korean team went without saying that everyone saw Lee Kyung-won's performance, and knew that if it wasn't for his outstanding performance, the Korean team would never have won this game, so everyone had no objections.

On the French side, at the press conference, they also praised Lee Kyung-won's outstanding performance, and the captain Zidane, who attended with the head coach, even used the word admiration to describe Lee Kyung-won, which also made the media, especially the South Korean media, excited.

What kind of person is Zidane, that is the 03 World Footballer of the World, such a person said two words of admiration to Li Jingyuan, it is not simple. In fact, Zidane's original words were to admire Li Jingyuan for having such an excellent level at such a young age, but the Korean media didn't care about that, anyway, just say admiration, as for how to report, it's not the media themselves who have the final say, this is also their consistent style.

After the match against France, the qualification situation of the South Korean team has basically been decided. Now after two games, they have 6 points and 2 goal difference, in the first place in the group, and the Swiss team behind after winning Togo, with 4 points plus two goal difference in second place, the French team is not too optimistic, they lost the game with South Korea, and now only 1 point in the third position, as for Togo, there is no need to think about it.

South Korea's qualification is a foregone conclusion, and it is still unclear that it will be Switzerland and France. France's fate is half in the hands of South Korea, who will not only have to win and score a lot of goals against Togo in their last game, but they will also have to hope that South Korea will win against Switzerland so that they can qualify with four points and rely on goal difference.

Such a situation was easily analyzed, and emotions immediately rose in South Korea, when did Koreans have such a status, and it was simply too wonderful to be able to take the future of France, the champion of the previous life, into their own hands. And the direct contributor to this result, Li Jingyuan is also a big scene, and now his personal homepage in S.m is about to be blown up, and it is full of praise and praise messages, which also makes Li Xiuman smile from ear to ear.

In the face of such a situation, the French team is also very helpless, but this is also a helpless thing, in order to get more hope of qualifying, they also started some peripheral work, and the captain Zidane had to call Li Jingyuan, the culprit who led to this situation, I hope that the South Korean team will not release water in the last game.

In the face of Zidane's request, Li Jingyuan will certainly not refuse, he will not think of deliberately losing the last game to let Switzerland qualify, because he knows that after entering the knockout stage, the first opponent in Group G is Ukraine, and the second opponent is the strong team Spain. If Switzerland get three points, then South Korea will finish second with six points, which is not a good thing for Spain.

And Li Jingyuan also knew that Zidane was going to retire after this World Cup, and he didn't want this new friend to say goodbye to this party so early, so he still promised Zidane that when he played against Switzerland, he would definitely defend with all his might. Of course, this is not free, Li Jingyuan, a funny guy, also made Zidane a treat to a French dinner as a condition.

A few days later, the next round began, with South Korea taking on Switzerland and France taking on Togo.

The result of the game can be said to be a great joy, the South Korean team, after Lee Kyung-won informed that Zidane would be treated, did not have the idea of releasing water, in the last round of the group stage, defeated Switzerland with a score of 2:0, and won all 3 games.

The French team, on the other hand, had a decisive attitude and won three clean sheets with a score of 3:0 against Togo. In this way, the last qualifying place in Group G was won by them with 4 points and 2 goal difference, while the Swiss team lost to South Korea by 2 goals, which was 4 points and 0 goal difference, so they had no choice but to go home. ,

After rushing out of the group stage, South Korea entered the round of 16. This is also a change brought by Li Jingyuan, in the history of this World Cup, the South Korean team did not qualify, let alone as the first in the group, seeing this result, Li Jingyuan also snickered for a long time.

Entering the first stage of the knockout round, the South Korean team avoided Spain and the opponent was Ukraine from Eastern Europe. When attacking, the South Korean team's forward line had no way to find opportunities in the Ukrainian Spartari, and they were completely suppressed one by one, but fortunately, Li Jingyuan's goalkeeping skills were good, which ensured that his goal was not breached, and after 120 minutes of fierce battle, the two teams entered a cruel penalty shootout with a score of 0:0.

The penalty shoot-out was brutal for everyone, not only the spectators were terrified, but the players on the field were also under tremendous pressure, and among these players, especially the goalkeeper, the burden was the heaviest.

Fortunately, Li Jingyuan is also a character who has seen a lot of the world, and because he is not a professional player, he also feels that he is careful to play in the World Lu World Cup, so his mentality is much easier than that of the other party, and it is in this state that Li Jingyuan let go of the pressure and responded to this challenge with a positive attitude.

After relaxing, Li Jingyuan was really not human, and he only spent three saves to solve the battle. In the case of the South Korean team's first three penalties, none of Ukraine's top three players kicked the penalty into the goal guarded by Lee Kyung-won, one was lifted off the crossbar, one was shot off the bottom line, and the other was directly confiscated by Lee Kyung-won. In this case, even if the last two of the South Korean team do not score, and the last two of Ukraine score, it is only a score of 3:2, which is meaningless at all, so there is no continuation. The penalty shootout ended with a score of 3:0, and Lee Kyung-won, who saved three penalties in a row, once again made headlines in the newspapers.

After beating Ukraine, South Korea reached the last 8 and their World Cup journey came to an end. Because they met the Italian team, the last champion of this World Cup, in the battle of 8 into 4.

In the match against Italy, the South Korean team was almost completely unable to parry. Compared with the French team, Italy's overall cooperation is higher, and the average level of the players is also higher, coupled with the hatred of being eliminated by the South Korean team with the help of the referee in the 02 World Cup, the Italian team completely used its strength to eat milk, and the South Korean team suppressed no temper at all.

The final score of this game was 1:0, and the Italian team won, but Italy's victory was not easy, because of Li Jingyuan's perversion.

In the 90-minute game, Li Jingyuan was like a divine helper, saving countless shots from the Italian team, and relying on the strength of one person to drag the game into overtime, this magical performance is almost helpless Italy, if it is not for a revenge to support Italy, it is estimated that they are unlikely to break through the goal guarded by Li Jingyuan in overtime.

may also think of the three penalties that Li Jingyuan saved in a row against Ukraine, and Italy itself is often a tragic figure in penalty shootouts, so Italy doesn't want to drag the game to a penalty shootout at all. In overtime, the Italians all turned into Roman gladiators, and near the end of the 120-minute game, they finally relied on a crazy attack to break through Li Jingyuan's ten fingers.

At the post-match press conference, the head coach of the South Korean team also brought Lee Kyung-won to attend for the first time, and the Wonder Boy's performance on the field also won the enthusiasm of the media. The amount of film that Lee Kyung-won murdered was no less than that of an Italian superstar.

At the press conference, the managers of both teams commented on the performance of their players and opponents in this game, Advocaat's speech for the time being, but the statement of Italian coach Lippi surprised everyone again. In Lippi's speech, he praised the performance of Lee Kyung-won as a goalkeeper, and even praised him as a figure at the same level as Italian goalkeeper Buffon, which also made the South Korean media as proud as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. You must know that Dao Buffon is recognized as the first gate in the world, and Li Jingyuan can be on the same level as him, which is definitely the highest praise.

And Lippi's words did not end there, he also asked Li Jingyuan if he had the idea of playing in Italy, when he learned that such a good goalkeeper was not a professional player, he was also very surprised, this kind of surprise with a pity expression on the face of the silver fox Lippi is rare, which shows how much shock Li Jingyuan brings.

In this way, Li Jingyuan became the protagonist of the press conference, and spent half an hour blinded by the flash before he was able to leave the venue.

This is the end of the World Cup for the Korean team, and everyone will be leaving Germany in a few days to go home, but Lee Kyung-won's business is not over, he still has to sing the theme song of the World World Cup with Shakira in the final, so he walked around Germany by himself.
