Section 924 Li Jingyuan, who is just red
South Korea beat Argentina 2-1, while Greece and Nigeria drew 1-1 in the other Group B match.
So after the second round of matches, the ranking of Group B changed again. South Korea has six points from two wins and two games, Argentina has three points with one win and one loss, and Greece and Nigeria have one draw and one loss.
In other words, South Korea have secured a place in the group and only need to draw with Nigeria in the last game to finish top of the group.
Argentina would need to draw at least with Greece to qualify with four points, and if they lose their last game, Greece could overtake Argentina and qualify with four points. Of course, if Argentina and Greece draw, it will still depend on the result of the match between South Korea and Nigeria. If South Korea lose to Nigeria by a big margin, Argentina may lose to Nigeria on goal difference and thus lose qualification from the group.
As for the last Nigerian team and the Greek team, they can only qualify if they win the last game and try to increase the goal difference on the premise of obtaining four points.
In other words, in the final round of the group stage, except for the South Korean team, the other three teams will use their strength to eat.
In this case, of course, the South Korean team can't be too careless. Although they have already qualified, there is a huge difference between the first and second in the group, because after entering the knockout stage, the opponent of the first group of Group B will be the second of Group A, and in turn, the second of Group B will face the first of Group A.
There are not many dark horses like the South Korean team, so the second place in Group A is definitely weaker than the first place in the group, even if it is to pick a soft persimmon as an opponent, the South Korean team must get a point in the last round of the group stage.
Nigeria will give it their all, South Korea can't lose, obviously. This last game won't be too easy.
The situation that reporters speculated that 'regardless of the victory or defeat, the whole team supports Li Jingyuan to hit the Golden Boot' is unlikely to appear.
In fact, in the game played on the 23rd, Lee Kyung-won returned to the goalkeeper position again. Think about it too. As long as you don't concede the goal, you can at least get a draw, which is the most important thing for the South Korean team.
After putting Li Jingyuan in the goalkeeper position, this game was much easier.
Although the Nigerian team has the title of 'African Eagles', the world ranking is also above the South Korean team. However, it is undeniable that they still have the common problem of African teams, that is, they do not cooperate well enough and rely more on the individual ability of the players.
No matter how good your personal abilities are, there is still not much of a threat. At the end of the day, not every player can play the same long-distance run as Maradona and Ronaldo. Trying to break through the entire South Korean defence on the basis of one-man ability is not something that the Nigerian players can do.
If you can't break through with one person's ability, you can only cooperate with your teammates while looking for opportunities. But the players of the Nigerian team are not tacit enough to understand each other. Therefore, it is impossible to play a smooth coordination under the pressure of the backfield players of the South Korean team, and it is impossible to get a chance to hit the goal from close range through penetration.
In desperation, the Nigerian team had no choice but to attack the South Korean team's goal with a long-range shot.
For Li Jingyuan. The least threatening thing is the long-range shot. A shot from such a distance, the time it took for the ball to reach the goal was enough for him to react.
How easy is it? With his reflexes, Lee Kyung-won will start moving when the opponent gets up, so he doesn't even have to make much movement when he pounces on the football. …,
As long as the opponent shoots from a distance, Li Jingyuan will confiscate the ball directly, and there is no such thing as 'lifting the ball out of the bottom line for the sake of stability'.
Unable to break through with individual ability, the cooperation was not tacit enough to penetrate the defense of the South Korean team, and the long-range shot could not pose a threat to Lee Kyung-won. After all the attacking methods were ineffective, the end of the Nigerian team was already doomed.
I saw that Li Jingyuan's performance was very stable. The rest of the South Korean team was much more relieved and put more energy into attacking.
The Nigerian players were a little anxious because they couldn't get on the scoresheet, while the South Korean players didn't have any psychological baggage. The mentality is different, the play is different, and the strength of the two teams is about the same, so after the South Korean team invested troops to attack. Nigeria is in some danger.
After a half-hour stalemate, the South Korean team finally scored their first goal. I won't mention who scored the goal, anyway, it's not Li Jingyuan.
After this goal, the Nigerian team was almost on the verge of breaking down. Come to think of it, not to mention not being able to create a threatening attack, and being scored first by the opponent, the current situation is completely contrary to what the Nigerian team expected, and it is not difficult to understand that these players will be frustrated as the qualification for qualification becomes more and more slim.
The more discouraged you are, the more you can't show your strength. The worse the performance, the more noisy it becomes, and the more ugly the game becomes, which leads to the lower the mentality of the players. The Nigerian team is thus caught in a vicious circle.
Even after halftime adjustments, Nigeria could not recover, so in the second half, they conceded two goals in a row, and finally lost 0-3 to South Korea.
Because this is the last round of the group stage, the final decision will be made on the qualifying team. Therefore, in line with the principle of fair play and to avoid tacit cooperation, the two group games in the last round must be played at the same time.
At the same time that South Korea played against Nigeria, the match between Argentina and Greece also started at the same time in the other stadium.
After some tearing up, the Argentine team finally won with a score of 2-0.
At this point, the two qualifying spots in Group B have all been decided. South Korea topped the group with nine points from three wins and three wins, while Argentina finished second with two wins and one loss.
After qualifying for the first place, the media in South Korea were boiling. Although it is not the first time that South Korea have reached the knockout stage, it is the first time that they have been able to qualify with a complete group victory. What's more, the Argentine team, a world powerhouse pressed behind them, made those media even more excited.
After a long period of singing praises, for a while, these players of the South Korean team became heroes again. The popularity is not much worse than in the 02 World Cup.
Among all of them, Li Jingyuan is the most popular. First, because of his status as an artist, the number of fans is far more than other players, and on the other hand, because of his outstanding performance. Anyone who knows about penalty kicks knows that if it weren't for Lee Kyung-won's outstanding performance in the first two games, the South Korean team would definitely not have achieved such good results.
In the Korean entertainment industry from 09 to 10 years, there was a very interesting phenomenon. Because of the popularity of Girls' Generation, many artists will be proud to have the contact information of a member of Girls' Generation in their mobile phones, and they will proudly say to their friends in private, 'I know Girls' Generation'.
And when Li Jingyuan made an outstanding performance in the World Lujie Cup, there was one more name on the lips of the artists. In addition to saying 'I know the XX of Girls' Generation' and 'I am very close to XX of Girls' Generation', more often they will say things like 'I am very familiar with Li Jingyuan' and 'Li Jingyuan is my close brother'. …,
Don't look at it as just a sentence, but it has already explained Li Jingyuan's status from the side. Although he was already very weighty before this, it was not enough for people to show off his name, 'you are popular, you have nothing to do with me' is what most artists think.
And now, artists are proud of being 'very close to Lee Kyung-won', which already shows that he has subconsciously won everyone's approval.
Artists have this mentality. Driven by them, ordinary people will naturally be affected. Suddenly, Lee Kyung-won became the number one star in South Korea. Even Zhang Dongjian, Yuan Bin and others, who have always been sought after, are not as brilliant as him.
The World Cup will last for a month, and in this month, four episodes of a weekly variety show will be broadcast.
This is true for "Infinite Challenge", "Two Days and One Night", and the same is true for "Champagne".
In the program "Champagne", there is a fixed link called "Ideal World Cup", and Li Jingyuan has also received invitations to the program before, but there were too many trips at that time, so he did not participate.
The members of Girls' Generation once participated once, and the representative who came to the stage to make a choice was Yuna, and she did not choose Lee Kyung-won as the first place. Instead, he chose Yeon Jung-hoon.
This time, because of Li Jingyuan's popularity, and because Girls' Generation itself has attracted a lot of attention, the "Champagne" program team sent them another invitation during the World Cup and recorded a special program.
In the 'Ideal World Cup' session, the person who came to the stage to make a choice on behalf of everyone was replaced by Jessica. So, unsurprisingly, Li Jingyuan was finally elected as the first place of the ideal type.
It is not surprising that Jessica was chosen as the first place, after all, the two are a 'couple' both in the show and in private, so this result is also expected by the program team.
And the next few episodes of the program exceeded the expectations of the program team.
After Jessica selected Lee Kyung-won as the first place, Lee Kyung-won was elected the best ideal type twice in a row. In the episode after Girls' Generation, the choice was made by a male guest, that is to say, in addition to that episode, in this month, as long as the female guests on the show were on the show, when they played the 'Ideal World Cup', they all chose Li Jingyuan as the best ideal type.
This has never happened before in the history of Champagne. Not to mention whether the program team will arrange artists to make different choices in order to ensure novelty, even the artists themselves will try to avoid making the same choices as others.
To use an inappropriate analogy, ten artists watch a movie together, and nine of them like the main character in the movie, and only one person likes the supporting role, in this case, the nine artists who like the protagonist will definitely not be remembered for their names, but the artist who chooses the supporting role will receive more attention.
If you want to get more attention and make yourself more topical, when artists play the 'Ideal World Cup', they will rarely choose someone who has been chosen by others as their ideal type, let alone make the same choice in a short period of time.
That's why Li Jingyuan's situation of being selected as the best ideal type three times in a row is so special. It is no exaggeration to say that just this link of the 'Ideal World Circle Cup' can already show how popular Li Jingyuan has been during this time, and naming this month 'Li Jingyuan Month' will not make people feel excessive.
As Li Jingyuan's closest person, seeing him so popular. The girls of Girls' Generation were just as happy for him.
Of course, in addition to being happy, Jessica will also be a little jealous. Although it was a choice made by others, it had nothing to do with Li Jingyuan himself. But a little girl is still a little girl in the end, and she won't be so calm at this time, and there will always be an inexplicable sense of crisis. …,
During the World Cup, the Korean players were not allowed to go out to play, and there were no restrictions on their other leisure activities.
After the group stage, there are still a few days before the knockout stage is played, and in those days. In addition to training on time, the players can still use their mobile phones or the Internet to keep in touch with their family and friends for the rest of the day.
Of course, Li Jingyuan is the same, in his free time, he often connects with the girls of his girlhood and other friends.
On this day, after the end of training, Li Jingyuan looked at the time. It was about ten o'clock in the evening on the Korean side, thinking that the girls should have finished their trip by this time, so he sent a text message to Jessica.
Not for a while. The text message came back, and after confirming the situation, Li Jingyuan immediately dialed the phone and contacted the girls of Girls' Generation.
"Kids, what are you doing now?"
"Brother-in-law~~! It's me~! We're having a late-night snack~! There was a vague voice on the other end of the phone, although it was the girl Xiao Jing who could be heard from the title, but Li Jingyuan didn't hear what she said later, so he could only ask again: "What?" ”
"Swallow what is in your mouth and talk in the afternoon, you kid is really not worrying, call me." Because Xiao Jing pressed the speakerphone when she answered the phone. So Li Jingyuan heard another voice.
"OPPA, it's me, are you okay?" The call was transferred to Jessica's hand, and this time she heard it clearly, and after Li Jingyuan was greeted, he immediately felt warm in his heart. Unconsciously showed a smile.
"Pretty good, how about you, how are you doing?"
"She's very bad~! OPPA~! I'll tell you, Jessica has been very angry these two days~. Before Jessica could answer, someone on the side immediately leaned over and yelled into the phone, and the voice seemed to be that of Little Sun.
"What are you doing? What's wrong? Xiao Sun's tone was a little naughty, but after hearing the 'very bad' answer, Li Jingyuan had the heart to distinguish it, so he could only ask immediately with some worry.
"Let me tell you, about ten days ago, we participated in the filming of "Champagne", and in the "Ideal World Cup" link, Jessica chose OPPA as the ideal type...... "Li Jingyuan asked, Xiao Sun was even more energetic, and immediately took out a storytelling tone and explained to the phone.
Jessica was a little confused at first, thinking, 'Haven't I been doing well these two days, I'm not angry?', but when Little Sun started to explain, she immediately understood.
The matter of jealousy can't let Li Jingyuan know, otherwise it will be too embarrassing. Jessica, who was shy, had the same strength as Yun'er, and pounced on Xiao Sun to cover her mouth, preventing Xiao Sun from continuing at that time.
There were others besides Little Sun, so Jessica's resistance was doomed to be ineffective. received a desperate call from Little Sun, and Xiuying, who was more eloquent, continued to speak.
"OPPA, it's me, are you listening?"
"Eun, I'm listening, just now Shun-gyu said that so-yeon chose me to be the ideal type? And then what? After only listening to half of it, Li Jingyuan was in a very good mood at this time, and his tone couldn't help but drift a little.
"Hehe, then, and the day before yesterday, we heard another news, after Sika chose you, another person chose you to be the ideal type. OPPA, this is a very serious matter, do you know? Before the show aired, Sika was already jealous, if the news came out after the show aired, what kind of reaction do you think Sika would have? After Xiuying finished speaking, she laughed a few more times, and it sounded like she was waiting to see the excitement.
"Ugh." Li Jingyuan was a little speechless now, although Jessica's jealousy made him a little happy, but then again, he still didn't want to see Jessica in a bad mood.
If you are in South Korea, then you can directly appease it, but now Li Jingyuan's people are in South Africa, and it is impossible to persuade them, thinking of this, Li Jingyuan is a little depressed, so he can only say to Xiuying: "Hey, what is this called, so let's do it, Xiuying, OPPA please, if Xiuyan is in a bad mood, you and others can help me persuade you......"
"Stop~!" Before Li Jingyuan finished speaking, Xiuying suddenly shouted 'stop', and then heard the girl laugh a few more times, and said into the phone: "OPPA, even if we don't persuade anything, it's better for you to show some performance yourself, I have a very good suggestion here, as long as you can make it, Sika will definitely be very happy, how about it, do you want to listen to it?"
