The next day was the day of the race.

Morning.

After having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, all the members of the Chinese national team gathered and took a bus to the Capital Workers Stadium.

The game is played at five o'clock in the afternoon.

Duisevic and the coaching staff's plan was for the team to spend a day at the Workers' Stadium, where in addition to warm-ups, training and games, it was important to take a break, as continued training would certainly affect their fitness, and the stadium had rooms in the stadium for the players to take a personal break, as if they were staying at home and waiting for the opponents to arrive.

That's home field advantage.

On China's home turf, the national team can easily prepare and wait for the opponent to arrive and the game to begin.

The South Korean team also came early.

Yesterday morning, the South Korean team had already reached the capital, and they also went around the Workers' Stadium in the name of visiting the stadium, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the South Korean team also arrived at the Workers' Stadium in advance, so that the players could have a longer time to familiarize themselves with the field.

In the afternoon, the two teams met.

When two teams of teammates who are about to play each other meet and train on the same pitch together, they will inevitably talk about each other.

There is a lot of focus on the South Korean team.

At present, the number one star of the South Korean team is undoubtedly Park Ji-sung, who plays for Manchester United Club, and Park Ji-sung's recent news is also very focused, he successfully renewed his contract with Manchester United Club, and his weekly salary was increased to 70,000 pounds, which also means that his income has entered the middle level of Manchester United, on par with Wes Brown and other semi-main players, and has become the second highest-paid star in the history of Asian football (the first is Zhen Shaolong).

The South Korean media are very excited about this.

There is a star who has been compared by the Korean media to Park Ji-sung - Michael Irving.

Manchester United has just officially released the latest transfer news, they have signed free agent Michael Owen, who left Newcastle United, for free, with a new contract of £3.5 million a year, and Owen voluntarily accepted the request to take a pay cut to join.

So Park Ji-sung's salary is slightly higher than that of Michael Irving.

The Korean media kept mentioning this, "Park Ji-sung (income) is better than Michael Irving!" "When they do their reporting, they like to ignore the middle three words, because when they have to play against the Chinese team, the content of their report becomes, "Park Ji-sung is better than Zhen Shaolong's best partner." ”

A partner of a top star will also be a top star.

The Korean media just wants to tell the fans, "We have stars that are not much worse than Zhen Shaolong." ”

Other key stars in the South Korean team include young star Lee Cheong-ryong, who has just moved to Bolton, Lee Young-pyo, who has been very successful at PSV Eindhoven and Dodmund, and Lee Tong-kook and Lee Yun-jae, who play in South Korea.

The South Korean team is indeed relatively strong, their lineup configuration is nothing in the world, but they can definitely rank in the top three in Asia, and because of the strong strength of the team, they are very confident in the game.

Their topic focused on Zhen Shaolong--

"Zhen Shaolong is indeed very powerful, his transfer is the best news. It is said that it was the two clubs of Real Madrid and Manchester City who worked together to poach him to Real Madrid! ”

"I know, more than 200 million euros, my God! And three of Real Madrid's strikers!

"His salary is a little unimaginable, more than 20 million euros after tax, and almost 40 million euros before tax. earned more than 100,000 euros in one day, which is almost ten times the new contract of Park Ji-sung's predecessor. ”

"But the game has nothing to do with fame, it has nothing to do with income, we can definitely prevent him! The Chinese team is worth noting alone! ”

"That's right! We can do it! ”

"Come on! Come on! ”

When the players of the South Korean team were talking, there was one person who did not speak, that is, the central defender Cho Yong-hyung, Cho Yong-hyung played for Jeju United in South Korea, his performance has been very stable, and he also got the opportunity to enter the national team, but he only plays in the Korean domestic league, and without the resume of playing in the five major leagues, it is difficult to stand out in the Korean team, and at most he is counted as an ordinary player, Zhao Yong-hyung does not have much weight in his speech on weekdays, he is very dissatisfied with this status quo, and he also hopes that he can perform well in the game.

This is an opportunity.

Zhao Rongheng was arranged to start, and the player he was in place was Zhen Shaolong, and head coach Xu Dingmao also told him to pay attention.

Cho Yong-hyung is very much looking forward to the defensive work, "There are a lot of people who pay attention to this game, and it is said that there are live reports in Europe, because Zhen Shaolong will participate in the game. ”

"If I can prevent Zhen Shaolong, I can become famous in one fight! At that time, no one will look down on me, even if it is a team in the top five European leagues, they will take the initiative to invite me to join ......"

"So you have to work hard in the game!"

"It's a good opportunity, a good opportunity that no one else has!"

The Chinese team was relatively quiet.

During the afternoon training, everyone was warming up, and few people commented on the Korean team, the main and biggest focus was Zhen Shaolong, compared with Zhen Shaolong, the so-called star of the Korean team, can continue to retain the title of 'star', it can already be regarded as great, and the players are talking about Zhen Shaolong, and the stars of the Korean team also have something to say.

In addition, the Chinese players are also feeling the pressure.

In fact, when facing the game, the Chinese team is much more stressed than the South Korean team, because the Chinese team is reported to have 'Koreanophobia', and of course they want to get rid of this bad name and hope to beat the South Korean team to win.

The players are also under pressure.

It would be fine if we could beat the South Korean team in the end, otherwise because the game was very concerned, every detail of the game would be amplified by the media, and a player who did not perform well could become a 'sinner for losing', or even a 'sinner for the Chinese team'.

In such a situation, there is pressure on every player.

Theoretically, Zhen Shaolong is under the greatest pressure, because he is the number one star and shoulders the responsibility of winning and losing, and if he loses the game, there will definitely be a lot of people talking about him, even if it is just that he does not score in the game, he will receive a lot of criticism.

Zhen Shaolong was very relaxed.

After a period of simple warm-up training, Zhen Shaolong went to the sidelines for an interview, one was CCTV and the other was Seoul TV in South Korea.

The reporter didn't ask any targeted questions, but just asked Zhen Shaolong to talk about the game.

Zhen Shaolong said casually, "This is the first time I have entered the national team, the first time I have represented the national team, and I have participated in international A-level competitions." It's just a warm-up game, but it's also very meaningful for me. ”

'All I have to do is try to perform, try to perform well, score a few more goals and help the team win.'

"For the whole team, it's definitely going to win."

Zhen Shaolong said very casually, and his expression was very relaxed, and there was really nothing wrong with what he said, and saying some words of hard work and striving for victory before the game was just an ordinary morale boost, but every sentence of the focus will become the focus, and it will also be used by the outside world to do various analyses.

The Chinese media did not do well, and South Korea was not satisfied in the first place.

"Trying to score a few more goals?!"

What does that mean? He's just saying he's going to score goals, the difference is how many you score, right? ”

"Zhen Shaolong underestimated the strong Korean team!"

The CCTV report also followed the train of thought of the South Koreans, and some jokingly said, "Because of Zhen Shaolong's participation, the Chinese team has taken a one-goal lead in advance." ”

Korean media, "Zhen Shaolong is talking!" He actually looked down on the strong Korean team! ”

Chinese media, "Zhen Shaolong is telling the truth, for him, scoring goals is not a problem at all, and it is impossible for South Korea's defense to prevent him." ”

South Korean media, "We are also very strong in South Korea and have a lot of stars. ”

Chinese media, "All of your stars together are worth less than a fraction of Zhen Shaolong's." ”

The pre-match was spent in a very gunpowder report.

Soon.

As the time for the game approached, the stadium was recognized as overcrowded in the capital, and the fans in the spectator stands began to shout out their anticipation of the game with exciting shouts.

Players from both sides enter.

Whenever the players enter, the sound in the audience will become higher, and the situation at the scene is a little special, the fans in the stands around them, many people only shout one name, "Zhen Shaolong!" "The same tone, the same voice, it feels as if the game is to welcome Zhen Shaolong, and the others have completely become foils.

Other players are also prepared, their fame is too different from Zhen Shaolong, and they are not on the same level at all.

This fueled the motivation of the Korean players to play, they felt that they were being slighted, and they also felt very resentful, hoping to come to the game and prove that they were welcome.

Some of the ceremonial pre-match processes passed quickly.

"Beep~~~~"

Referee Jahari from Singapore blew the whistle, and the match between China and South Korea officially began.

The first to kick off was the South Korean team.

The South Korean team thinks that its strength is relatively strong, and its style of play is still a bit offensive, and their midfield is indeed an advantage, Park Ji-sung and Lee Qing-ryong on the left and right sides can be called a Premier League-level combination, and Lee Tongguo and Park Joo-yong on the front line are also very efficient players, and the offensive ability of the South Korean team is worthy of recognition.

The first wave of the South Korean team's offensive was also good, quickly sending the ball to the bottom line on the right side, and when the cross was transferred, it was destroyed, and Lee Qinglong 'struggled' to get the ball again, but the ball was still handed to his teammates by Hayang.

The Chinese team controlled the ball steadily.

Duisevic's style of play is still based on defense, in fact, it is also a very helpless choice, he hopes that his team can play an elegant, gorgeous attack, but the ability of the players is a big problem, even if the player's ability is enough, he is only the head coach of the national team, but there is no time to integrate training tactics, can only be the simplest, the easiest tactics for players to adapt to, as the basic tactics of the team's game.

The tactics of the Chinese team are to stabilize the defense and attack, and it is good to organize the playing style of each position, and the players go to the field to see the situation play, and if they need to defend, they will do more defense, and if they need to attack, they will do more offense, and there is no special direction in tactics.

Dujshevic's only arrangement is to let the players pay attention to cooperate with Zhen Shaolong.

This doesn't really need to be emphasized.

Zhen Shaolong's fame and ability are overwhelming, and some people in the team are not convinced by him, so they can only continue to keep it in their hearts, and they don't even dare to say it. Everyone will take the initiative to cooperate with Zhen Shaolong, and everyone will show a positive attitude.

When the Chinese team launched an attack, Zhen Shaolong did not insert very high, and he had a chance to get the ball.

In the third minute, Zhen Shaolong received the ball for the first time.

The football was kicked over with a diagonal pass in the middle, Zhen Shaolong was restricted by the opponent, and it was possible to grab the ball by reflexively, but because the pass was not very accurate, he reluctantly stopped the ball with the instep of his foot, but he could not fully control it, and the two players on the other side grabbed the ball directly on the left and right.

"The ball was taken away by Kim Jong-woo ......"

"Kim Jong-woo and Cho Yong-hyung completed a package against Zhen Shaolong, and this time the defense was very successful!"

"Zhen Shaolong touched the ball for the first time, but he couldn't control it!"

It's just a very ordinary scene in the game.

Under the bag of the two players on the other side, it is normal to not be able to grab the ball that is 'crooked' by his teammates, and it seems to be given a special meaning to Zhen Shaolong, and Korean fans feel very excited, they feel that their players have successfully prevented the opponent's core star.

The players involved were also very excited.

For example, Cho Yong-hyung.

Zhao Yongheng is a player opposite Zhen Shaolong, he knows that there are many opportunities to defend, the game is his chance to perform, and a good performance will definitely attract the attention of the world, and it is a good start to complete a successful defense with his teammates.

"There is a first time, there is a second time!"

Zhao Rongheng thought firmly, "Try to prevent him, limit him, as long as I can succeed continuously, many people will definitely notice me!" ”

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong didn't care about being robbed at all, because the ball just now was not stealed, and the position was not very good, and it was difficult to find opportunities.

His definition of chance is 'possible goal'.

It is impossible to complete the goal and even the opportunity is not called a chance, and it is nothing to be snatched by the opponent, the important thing is that the opponent has completed a successful tackle, and it has accumulated a temporary effect of 'being accused of possession of the ball' --

Passive ball effect accumulation: Once.

"Once, two seconds."

Zhen Shaolong carefully did mathematical thinking, "It's not realistic to get the ball close to the goal, I have to retreat, the position of receiving the ball is a little far from the goal, and the time of two seconds is still a bit ......."

"If you can accumulate three effects, two seconds will become six seconds, and even if you receive the ball in the middle, you can directly threaten the goal, right?"

Zhen Shaolong suddenly looked forward to it, he looked at Zhao Rongheng who was walking by, and suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to be defending himself just now?

"Come on!"

Zhen Shaolong gave Zhao Rongheng a thumbs up.

Zhao Yongheng stood stunned, and his heart was suddenly moved, "No one in the entire Korean team recognizes me, even the head coach doesn't take me seriously, and giving me the chance to start seems to be a reward...... Zhen Shaolong actually gave me a thumbs up and recognized my defensive level because of one of my successful defenses......"

"I'm so impressed!"

Zhao Rongheng had an urge to be recognized and wanted to cry, and he suddenly thought firmly, "It seems that you still have to work hard!" Try harder! I not only want to be recognized by Zhen Shaolong's predecessors, but also to get more people, and even the world......"
