At 19:00 on the evening of March 26, 2013 local time in South Korea, with the referee's whistle, the seventh round of Group A of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Qualifiers officially began.

Although it was the home field, in the case of Cheng Hai's start, the South Korean team did not dare to fight against the Huaguo team, so they could only shrink the defense and put on a 541 defensive counterattack formation, in order to hold the goal and see if they could rely on the sneak counterattack from the bottom cross from the side to score a goal.

In addition to the extreme defense in the formation, the Korean players also dare to fight, collide, rob and kick in their individual performance.

Of course, it is useless to just dare to fight, because it is easy to foul and give Cheng Hai a chance to take a free kick.

Cheng Hai's full value of shooting skills, arcs, and shooting power make his free kick goal rate very high.

Therefore, in order to avoid being threatened by Cheng Hae's free kick due to foul play during the scramble, the South Koreans also sacrificed a certain home tactic that they used in the 2002 World Cup.

I don't know what service they provided to the referee before the game, although the referee did not go too far in the game like in the World Cup, but the favoritism towards the home team can still be distinguished by ordinary fans.

In the 4th minute, the Huaguo team won a corner kick, and the corner kick sent by Yu Hai went straight to the top of Cheng Hai's head.

It would have been a good header on goal.

As a result, Cheng Hai had two players from the South Korean team around him to defend closely, and at the moment Cheng Hai jumped, one grabbed Cheng Hai's clothes fiercely, and the other hit Cheng Hai hard from the side, causing Cheng Hai to fail to jump to the predetermined height to reach the ball with full physique and bounce.

The ball flew past Cheng Hai's scalp and was pushed out of the penalty area by the South Korean team player at the back point, and Cheng Hai also lost his center of gravity and fell into the penalty area.

Cheng Hai and Huaguo players, who fell to the ground, suddenly raised their hands to the referee and shouted fouls in the opponent's penalty area, but the referee shook his hand without hesitation, signaling that there was no foul and letting the game continue.

At this time, the South Korean players seemed to know in advance that their side would not be blown foul, so they ignored the Chinese players at all, and after getting the ball, they firmly played a sharp counterattack from the side.

In just a few seconds, the situation reversed, and what was supposed to be an opportunity for the Chinese team to attack immediately turned into a good opportunity for the South Koreans to counterattack.

Because of the corner kick opportunity, the two central defenders rushed to the front to fight for the header, and the return defense was not timely, resulting in the South Koreans' counterattack after rushing through the center line to form a favorable situation of 3 to 2.

In the case of 3 to 2, three passes and two downs, the two Chinese team players couldn't defend at all, and the South Korean team quickly formed a shot.

Fortunately, the Koreans' shooting skills are not as perverted as Cheng Hai, and in the case of Chinese players chasing after him and quickly returning to the defense, South Korean striker Ji Dongyuan's shot failed to hit the angle, and he played more positively, and was saved by goalkeeper Yang Zhi, held him directly in his arms, and did not even give the Koreans the opportunity to make up the shot.

Although they didn't concede the goal, the players of the Huaguo team were still quite angry, and Zheng Zhi, who was closest to the referee, rushed to the referee and questioned loudly, but the referee showed Zheng Zhi a yellow card.

You know, it's only been 4 minutes since the start of the game!

How does Zheng Zhi, who is a midfielder, defend for a lot of time left? How to withstand the impact of the other party?

The stands suddenly resounded with the angry scolding of Chinese fans:

"Damn, what's going on?"

", Black Whistle!"

"If you don't foul the South Korean team, forget it, and give Zheng Zhi a yellow card, this home whistle is too obvious!"

"Black whistle, black whistle of the Koreans is here again."

In addition to the shouting and scolding of the Chinese fans, the Chinese players on the field were also quite dissatisfied.

was originally annoyed that the referee had just turned a blind eye to the foul of Cheng Hai by the Korean player in the South Korean team's penalty area, but now he gave himself a yellow card without saying a word, which suddenly made Zheng Zhi angry, and wanted to continue to approach the referee and push the theory.

Zheng Zhi is a more emotional player, although his quality is more outstanding in all aspects of Huaguo players, but there are also many people who foul and eat cards.

If no one stops him, he may really get involved with the referee in anger, and I am afraid that he will have to face a red card and an additional ban.

Fortunately, Qu Bo's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Zheng Zhi, and said in Zheng Zhi's ear while dragging it back: "Zheng Zhi, don't be impulsive, there is a black whistle, you are impulsive and be punished directly, we will have one less person to fight." ”

After struggling twice and failing to break free of Qu Bo's hand, Zheng Zhi gradually calmed down after hearing Qu Bo's advice.

Seeing the consequences of Zheng Zhi being shown a yellow card, the other players of the Chinese team did not rush forward to theorize, only Cheng Hai, as the captain and the party, as well as his own status in football, stepped forward to theorize a few words.

Of course, Cheng Hai didn't dare to get too close to the referee, but just stood three or four meters in front of him and told the referee that he fell in the South Korean penalty area just now, but it was not the result of a normal physical confrontation, but a deliberate foul by the opposing defender.

For Cheng Hai's protest, the referee really didn't dare to show a yellow card anymore.

On the one hand, Cheng Hai kept a cautious distance, so he had no reason to attack. On the other hand, Cheng Hai's status in football is indeed different, so that the referee does not dare to play cards easily.

If he dares to show Cheng Hai a yellow card in such an unjustified situation, then he will make headlines all over the world tomorrow.

He could only shake his head at Cheng Hai, indicating that it was not a foul, just normal physical contact. After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Cheng Hai, perhaps because he felt that he was also at a loss.

Next, Cheng Hai and his teammates experienced the shamelessness of Koreans more deeply.

Cheng Hai finally kicked the ball from teammate Deng Zhuoxiang into the goal of the South Korean team through an anti-offside position in the 27th minute, but the referee immediately said that the goal was invalid on the grounds of offside.

Amid the deafening boos and shouts of more than 10,000 Chinese fans, Cheng Hai and his teammates seemed very calm, because this was exactly what they expected.

Since it was understood that the referee was blowing the black whistle, everyone could have a premonition that such a scene had occurred.

Next, the Chinese team began to use passing tactics as much as possible to avoid physical contact.

Because once there is physical contact, the referee will make a decision in favor of the Korean team.

For example, when the Chinese team is attacking with the ball, the referee will generally choose to turn a blind eye to the defense of the South Korean player who breaks the ball, as long as it is not too obvious to foul the action.

Once the ball is not broken, the Chinese team's offense is threatened, and the referee will blow the South Korean team for a foul, not to give the Chinese team a free kick, but to interrupt the Chinese team's threatening attack, and provide time for the Korean team's players to return to defense, resulting in Cheng Hai's Chinese team's many threatening attacks were destroyed by the referee, and they failed to score a goal after half an hour.

Similarly, in the attack, the referee will also make a decision in favor of the Korean team according to the situation, so that the Korean team has created several threatening attacks.

If it weren't for the South Korean team's forward shooting skills not being as good as Cheng Hai's, I'm afraid the Chinese team would have fallen behind in the score.

However, although the referee's penalty scale is darker than the average home whistle, it is not as dark as the 02 World Cup.

After all, it's only a World Preliminary Tournament, not an official World Cup, so it's not worth doing that.

Therefore, when the Chinese team strengthened the transmission and pseudonym physical contact, they finally knocked on the door of the South Korean team in the 42nd minute before the end of the first half.

This is an opportunity created by Cheng Hai using his super personal ability.

Cheng Hai first pulled the side to the right side, and then faced the opponent's interception after the ball, Cheng Hai did not plan to fight alone at all, but did a collision with his teammates to avoid physical contact and was blown by the referee.

Then, after drawing the attention of the Korean team to the right flank, Cheng Hai deceived all the Korean defenders with a genius pass and sent the ball to the feet of Qu Bo on the left wing.

When Cheng Hai passed, Qu Bo was obviously not offside, and the referee had no way to destroy the attack of the Huaguo team even if he wanted to.

Qu Bo did not waste the opportunity created by Cheng Hai this time, smoothly stopped the ball, and dribbled into the penalty area with almost no one to defend to form a single shot to score.

The referee reluctantly blew the whistle for the goal, and the players and fans of the Chinese team fell into an excited celebration.

The Chinese team finally scored an effective goal and took the lead in the score.

A few minutes later, at the end of the first half, the two sides entered the break with a score of 0-1, and the away team Huaguo led by one goal.

At halftime, the Huaguo team made tactical adjustments, Cheng Hai retreated, played the front midfield, and used his vision, passing, and creativity to deliver cannonballs to his teammates.

After the start of the second half of the game, Cheng Hai's retreat really made the South Koreans scratch their heads a little, and they couldn't come up with effective corresponding adjustments for a while.

As a result, in the 53rd minute, Cheng Hai passed another good ball, and with a wonderful straight stopper, he avoided as many as three Korean players along the road, allowing Gao Lin to successfully counter offside and receive the ball and send it into the goal of the Korean team.

Hua Guo took a two-goal lead.

The Koreans went a little crazy and started to attack aggressively, and under the care of the referee, they really pulled a point back in the 66th minute with a controversial free kick.

But the price of the aggressive attack was that their backfield leaked into a sieve, and Cheng Hai broke through the goal with an assist and a long-range shot in the 74th and 85th minutes respectively.

Even if South Korea pulled another point back in the 90th minute, it would not help.

In the referee's whistle and extremely unfavorable away situation, the Huaguo team defeated South Korea 4-2 away with Cheng Hai's hat trick of assists and a goal, and won all six games in the first seven rounds of the top 10 (with one bye).

In the other match in the same group and in the same round, Uzbekistan beat Lebanon 1-0 at home and Iran had a bye.

As a result, after this round, the points situation in Group A is that the Chinese team has won all 6 games and has 18 points to top the list, Uzbekistan is second with 8 points, Iran is third with 6 points, South Korea is fourth with 4 points, and Lebanon is at the bottom with 4 points of goal difference.

Uzbekistan only has two rounds of matches left, and the maximum number of wins is 14 points.

Iran still has three games left, but they have won all of them to accumulate 15 points, which is still a full three points behind the Chinese national team.

As for South Korea and Lebanon, there is no need to mention them anymore.

Therefore, after the seventh round of the top 10 matches, the Chinese team has firmly locked the top position in Group A of the top 10 matches and qualified from the Asian zone of the World Preliminaries in advance, becoming the first team in the world to come out of the qualifiers after the host Brazil.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the entire stadium became a sea of Chinese people's revelry, and the Koreans could only leave the field in a hurry while cursing jealously, so as not to stay on the scene to watch the Chinese people celebrate and get angry.

Huaguo CCTV-5, which broadcast the game live, also immediately typed the words "We have qualified" on the screen.

The entire land of China was in full swing of celebration.

After 2002, the Chinese men's football team finally broke into the World Cup stage again.

And this time, under the leadership of Cheng Hai, everyone believes that it is absolutely impossible for the Huaguo team to go home without scoring a goal, scoring a point, and losing all three games in the group stage.

All Chinese people are looking forward to Cheng Hai being able to lead the national football team to make a historic breakthrough on the stage of the World Cup.
