One day in 1882, a British warship called Flying Fish docked at the port of Incheon in South Korea, and Koreans learned about modern football from that moment.

However, it was not until 1904 that the then National University of Foreign Chinese adopted soccer as an official sport, marking the beginning of the popularization of soccer in Korea.

After the North-South split, the Korean Football Association joined FIFA in 1948 and became a full member of the AFC in 1954.

In 1948, Korean football made its debut on the international stage and reached the London Olympics.

In 1954, South Korea made its debut in the World Cup and reached the World Cup finals in Switzerland.

In 1956, South Korea won the inaugural Asian Cup, and four years later, they successfully defended their title.

Since then, in various competitions at all levels in Asia, the South Korean team has been invincible and deservedly become the "football boss" of Asia.

But it was at the 1983 World Youth Championship in Mexico that South Korean football really shocked the world football scene, where they reached the semi-finals and earned them the nickname "Red Devils".

In the World Cup between Japan and South Korea the year before last, no matter how the South Korean team was criticized, they still had a place in the top four.

For a long time, when people mentioned the Korean team, they would praise them for their indomitable fighting spirit, superhuman start-up power and tireless physical strength.

Indeed, this is a typical strength team, and the lack of energy is the main reason why they have been able to thrive for a long time.

Under the call of Kim Ho-kun, the Korean team turned on the "mechanical mode". It is to use his abundant physical strength to honestly implement the referee's tactical intentions. In this way, he can not only block the interference of the outside world, but also rely on his excellent personal skills to slowly overwhelm the National Olympic Games.

In the 37th minute of the game, the ball was kicked to the midfield by the South Korean defenders, and Lee Tianxiu received the ball and quickly broke through with the ball.

Cao Yang immediately stepped forward to rush and slammed into Li Tianxiu hard. But Li Tianxiu's skillful foot technique and the sudden burst of force instantly crushed Cao Yang, and after kicking the ball hard, the stumbling body did not fall to the ground, and chased straight towards the ball.

"Ball protection! Hold the ball! Tang Wu had already retreated to the small penalty area and shouted at central defender Zhang Baofeng.

Since Zhang Baofeng ran between the ball and Li Tianxiu first, Tang Wu decisively gave the order after seeing the height difference between the two clearly.

But at this time, Zhang Baofeng, who was in front of him, had a numb scalp and a big head.

According to Tang Wu's order, he should escort the ball all the way out of bounds, and then Guoao gets the goalball; But at this time, Li Tianxiu was like a "mad dog", chasing after Zhang Baofeng and "biting wildly".

Li Tianxiu, who plays for Real Sociedad, naturally understands how to use his advantages against a "stupid big man" like Zhang Baofeng. In a position that the referee could not see, Li Tianxiu opened his legs left and right, pressing Zhang Baofeng, and at the same time, he also used small movements to hit the weak position on the body of the Guoao central defender.

Zhang Baofeng was in pain, and while holding back his body, he gritted his teeth and pushed the ball directly out of the bottom line.

Tang Wu couldn't help but sigh after seeing it, this ball can't be said to be Makelele or Terry, even if Glenn Johnson is the black boy, he can easily protect the ball out of bounds.

The personal level of the National Olympic Games is still too poor!

Li Tianxiu, who was running behind him, also immediately slowed down and stopped, and a breath grew out of his mouth.

Corner kick? Corners, corners! It's better than the opponent's goal.

The South Korean team once again gathered collectively in the penalty area of the national Olympic team, and every time they faced a corner kick, Tang Wu would direct the defenders to stand in different defensive positions according to the opponent's attacking players.

Compared with the other players on the field, Tang Wuren is tall and has the strongest air supremacy.

Therefore, Tang Wu usually asked his teammates to leave an empty seat in front of him, so that he could attack at any time.

Kim Doo-hyun took a relatively high outside-spin corner kick towards the penalty spot. Three South Korean players on the penalty line went forward to earn points, while Cho Jae-jin near the goal line chased back. There are only four attacking players of the South Korean team in the big penalty area, and the national Olympic team dressed in white has a full eight.

Everyone was looking up at the ball overhead, and those who felt they could touch it were heading towards the point where the ball landed. Tang Wu only glanced in front of him, then abandoned the door from the goal line, watching the ball in the sky run forward.

The camera lens in the air can see that Zhang Yaokun, Zhang Baofeng, and Xu Liang are stuck in the middle, isolating the Korean team members. At this time, Tang Wu had already run out of the goal line.

He didn't have time to look at Tang Wu in front of him, and suddenly felt something stumbling under his feet.

Based on the memories in his mind of the other person's position just now, Tang Wu immediately judged whose foot it was.

"Fake, this stick actually gave me black feet!"

But the arrow is ready to be sent.

Tang Wu, who was just about to jump, stumbled and threw his body forward. "Not good!" Tang Wu's heart tightened, gritted his teeth and risked his foot, kicked down hard with his twisted left foot, and forcibly jumped up.

Tang Wu, who was in the air, ignored the momentary pain, straightened his arms, and continued to make movements according to his previous judgment.

Tang Wu, who was stretching out his arms, suddenly felt something in his hands bump in, and suddenly clenched his hands inward, grabbed the ball tightly in the air, and put it into his arms with force. With a "plop", Tang Wu and Cao Zaizhen fell to the ground one after another. Because there was a meat pad underneath, Tang Wu didn't suffer any damage.

After falling to the ground, Tang Wu suddenly looked back, and behind him, Park Ji-sung was standing there alone, and there was not a single defender within two meters of him.

Seeing this, Tang Wu broke out in a cold sweat.

Perhaps this ball had changed its fate and that of the National Olympic Games since it was picked up in the air by Tang Wu, who held it tightly in his arms and refused to let go for a long time.

After the players walked out of the penalty area, Tang Wu got up. After moving his ankle and finding that there was nothing serious, he ran two steps with the football and kicked the ball out with his big foot.

Perhaps, this is just an ordinary corner interception, even with the commentary Huang Jianxiang, this ordinary corner kick is very ordinary.

Tang Wu didn't have any brilliance to praise for this goal, but what the goalkeeper expected was that there was no danger at the back? Goalkeepers don't like to defuse danger themselves, because at that point, it may mean scoring a goal.

Seeing that the National Olympic Games once again controlled the ball at their feet, the fans chanted again.

At the very front of the stands, there stood a row of five shirtless middle-aged people. A national flag was drawn on each side of their faces, a large drum was placed in front of the leader, and a long flagpole was waved in the hands of the people next to him, and the red flag on it fluttered in the wind. Each of the five people wrote a word on Fa Fu's belly. Together, it is "Advance to Athens." "The last one drew a big stop at his navel, which was quite funny.

The appearance of these five people was deeply imprinted in Tang Wu's mind, and in the next ten years, these fans changed the words on their stomachs to Athens, London, Rio, Japan and South Korea, Germany, South Africa, Brazil and other places. Their faces grow old, but their spirits live on. They all have white beards, but the red flags on their faces are still red. They hunched their waists, but they still waved the flags in their hands like rainbows. He has supported his beloved team for decades, and has been playing with the national football team in all directions. No matter what the outcome is, never forget the original intention.

In first-half stoppage time, South Korea used a sharp attack to create the most dangerous attack of the opening day.

Park Ji-sung went down to chase the ball, and Sun Xiang, the younger brother of the "auspicious brother", followed closely. The experienced Eindhoven full-back did not carry the ball and continued forward, with a light knock on his back. The ball that rolled backwards successfully avoided Sun Xiang, who failed to brake. Kim Dongjin, who followed at the back point, directly crossed the middle with his left foot from 2 meters outside the corner of the penalty area.

The South Korean team used the ball to change direction twice and played a pause. While the defenders of the National Olympic team had not turned back because of inertia, the anti-offside position was successful. Li Tianxiu headed the ball on the line of the small penalty area and sent the ball to the gate of the National Olympic team.

Tang Wu subconsciously raised his arms and knocked the ball off the crossbar the moment he raised his fist. Seeing this, Li Tianxiu jumped up angrily on the spot, squatted down and slammed his hands on the ground.

When Tang Wu reacted from the horse step, he subconsciously felt a chill behind him.

Many things are like this, and the more I think about it, the more scared I become. If it weren't for Kim Dongjin's pass in the middle, if it weren't for Li Tianxiu's header, it would definitely be a goal. God seems to want to return one to the South Korean team, which is the same as Xu Liang's header in the first half, both of which are to push the ball towards the goalkeeper.

The difference is that Jin Rongguang was hit by the ball and his nose bleeded, while Tang Wu held the ball out with both hands.

The ratio of goalkeepers between China and South Korea is high and decisive.
