Chapter 309: Koreanophobia!?
Although the South Korean team's side crosses and frequent long-range shots at the edge of the penalty area failed to break through the Chinese team's goal, the Chinese team was still obviously at a disadvantage in the face of the opponent's ferocious pressing and rapid offensive and defensive switching rhythm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And the most intuitive time to possess the ball, the South Korean team actually reached about 6 percent.
If it weren't for the excellent form of goalkeeper Zheng Cheng and the bad luck of the South Korean team, I am afraid that in the first 15 minutes of the game, the Chinese team's goal has been pierced by the opponent at least twice.
After seeing the embarrassing situation of the Chinese team, nearly 10,000 Chinese fans in the Seoul World Cup Stadium invariably made the same voice - "change the air"!
In fact, Fu Bo also has the consideration of replacing Feng Quan on the field. It's just that sending it out at this moment also requires a lot of risk.
First of all, to substitute a starter less than 20 minutes into the game would be an admission that you have made a major mistake in the selection of your starters. Moreover, the players who are substituted are bound to be under great psychological pressure.
Secondly, once Feng Quan can play an immediate role after appearing, it will be a happy person. But on the contrary, if his appearance still fails to improve the situation on the field, the Chinese team is likely to fall into a more passive situation in the game.
In the end, after some careful consideration, Fu Bo gave up the idea of making personnel adjustments immediately. Moreover, he did not wait too long, and the change in the situation on the court proved the correctness of Fu Bo's decision to temporarily give up the "change to the upper hand".
………………
Korean football has always been known around the world for its outstanding running ability, the courage of its players on the field, and the sharpness of its attacking wings.
Although the technical and tactical characteristics of the South Korean team do not seem to be in line with their goal of "advanced development trend of world football". However, in the case of almost the extreme development of physical fitness, scrambling, and player willpower, although Korean football has still not been able to enter the ranks of "the world's second-rate teams", at least within the scope of Asian football, it is firmly among the first-class.
Especially when they face their own "defeated team" for many years, the Chinese team, and the Japanese team, which has a deep historical grudge, the Korean players can often burst out with amazing fighting power.
However, the South Korean team's impactful style of play also has an obvious weakness. If their successive fierce attacks fail to achieve the desired effect (i.e. break through the opponent's goal), then their offensive momentum is likely to fall into a temporary stagnation.
In fact, for a team like the Koreans, who rely heavily on "momentum", it's like
The principle of "one drum and one blow" mentioned in the ancient Chinese art of war is the same. Once the first wave of fierce offensives fails to work, a process of "gathering momentum" will inevitably be required before the second and third waves of offensives come. After all, the human body is not a machine, and even if the biggest characteristic of Korean players is that they are full of physical fitness, it is impossible to maintain the same physical condition throughout the entire 90 minutes of the game.
As the saying goes, "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion". Even if the process of building momentum is not "long", when the South Korean team launches a second, third, or even more wave of offensive, their threat in the attack will inevitably be diminished over time.
At the same time, if the opponent takes advantage of the opportunity of the South Korean players to "get ready to attack" and launch a fierce counterattack against them, it will inevitably pose a great threat to their defence.
The Chinese team led by Fu Bo launched a rapid counterattack against the opponent after the first half of the game entered 20 minutes, when South Korea's offensive was significantly weakened.
………………
Just when the South Korean players slowed down the pace of their attack on the court slightly, in order to try to recover their physical strength and enter the momentum stage in order to launch a second wave of fierce attacks.
Suddenly, I was a little surprised to find that the Chinese players who had been huddled in their own half and struggled to support the stormy backline actually faintly appeared to want to launch a counterattack.
However, because the South Korean team has always been in an advantageous situation, the counteroffensive momentum shown by the Chinese team has not been able to attract enough attention from them.
Due to the first 20 minutes of the game, the Chinese team has been in a passive situation, so in order to stabilize his backline, Fu Bo did not let the players press in the front.
So, in the 26th minute of the first half of the game, when the South Korean team sent a throw-in near the middle line on the right side, the defender Park Jong-woo habitually thought that the Chinese team would not come forward to force it, so he did not observe the situation on the field in advance before receiving the throw-in thrown by the right fullback Li Rong, but only stood in place to observe the position of the players on the field on both sides after the ball was steady.
However, before Park Jong-woo could complete his observation, Sun Ke, the starting left forward of the Chinese team, suddenly made a ferocious snatch and broke the ball from Park Jong-woo's feet.
The next moment, Sun Ke turned on the main horsepower and quickly dribbled the ball along the left side towards the direction of the opponent's penalty area.
However, just after Sun Ke dribbled the ball into the 30-meter area of the South Korean team, Li Rong, who quickly chased back, reached out and pulled him down on the turf.
Although Sun Ke's sudden attack made the South Korean team pay the price of a yellow card. But I have to admit that the Korean players' rich game experience and ability to observe the situation on the field are indeed above the Chinese team.
In fact, if Li Rong did not choose to end the Chinese team's offensive by fouling, Sun Ke, who had already started at a pace, was likely to pose a great threat to the South Korean team's goal. Because after Sun Ke successfully broke the ball, Yu Dabao and Gao Lin quickly hit the South Korean team's penalty area, and at this time, there were only 4 defenders near the South Korean team's penalty area, including goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong.
Therefore, even if Li Rong's yellow card price was paid to avoid the South Korean team's conceded goal, it is not excessive.
However, although Sun Ke's attack failed to really threaten the goal of the South Korean team, his sudden robbery not only made the opponent pay the price of a yellow card, but also completely sounded the horn of the Chinese team's counterattack.
………………
Just after Sun Ke's sudden rush caused Li Rong's foul and won a free kick in front, the Chinese team not only completely reversed the passive situation on the field. And it also made the situation on the field form a 180-degree change.
In the 36th minute of the first half, Wang Yongbo, who missed the second penalty kick in the last game against Japan, received a pass from Zheng Zhi in the front court, and then made a wall-hitting cooperation with Huang Wenbo to get rid of Han Rong, who was marking himself.
However, just when Wang Yongbo was about to continue to break through with the ball forward, he was blocked by Park Jong-woo, the defender of the South Korean team, and Jang Hyun-so, the central defender. In desperation, Wang Yongbo had to hastily transfer the ball to the feet of Gao Lin on the right side of the front court.
Although Gao Lin debuted mainly in the center forward position, when the legendary Italian coach, Marcello Lippi (Marcello Lippi) came to coach the Suicheng Evergrande team, he transformed him into a "shadow striker" who is more adept at wing activities.
Moreover, under the "edification" of several outstanding foreign aides from Brazil and Argentina, the two major football powers of Suicheng Evergrande Club, Gao Lin's passing and ball control skills have also been significantly improved. Although the number of goals scored by Gao Lin has decreased as the active area gradually "moves to the side", his importance in the team's attack is gradually revealed.
Gao Lin, who plays very selflessly, not only often pulls to the side to create space for his teammates, but also as long as his teammates are in a better position than him, and he can see it, he will definitely pass the ball to his teammates' feet in the first time.
It is precisely because of Gao Lin's breakthrough on the side and the role he plays in the team's attack that a world-class coach like Lippi is often praised for him.
Although Wang Yongbo's hasty passing power was a little too much, Gao Lin, who was standing near the right sideline, stopped the ball beautifully under the pressure of South Korea's left full-back Kim Min-woo. And after holding the ball steady, he made a wall-hitting cooperation with Huang Wenbo to get rid of the opponent's entanglement.
However, Kim Minyou's reaction was really not slow, Gao Lin had just advanced less than 3 meters with the ball, and he quickly completed the turn and chase. Moreover, after getting close to Gao Lin, he began to use small defensive actions such as pulling and pushing to try to prevent the opponent's breakthrough.
In the face of Jin Minyou's various defensive small moves, Gao Lin did not feel afraid at all. After all, compared with South American players who are good at using small moves when defending, this "little trick" of the South Koreans is not very enough.
Didn't you tug at my jersey? No problem, then I'll "knock your hand off".
So, in the process of breaking through with the ball, Gao Lin not only increased the swing amplitude of his left arm, but also deliberately swung towards Kim Minyou's arm when swinging backwards.
Although Gao Lin's left arm was also painful when he hit Kim Min-woo's arm, the opponent's right hand on his jersey was finally released.
After getting rid of Kim Min-woo's defense, Gao Lin burst into the South Korean team's penalty area. However, due to the small angle of the shot, and Kim Young-kwon's quick defense, Gao Lin sent an inverted triangle pass towards the penalty spot.
The next moment, Yu Dabao, who was arranged by Fu Bo in the center forward position in this game, appeared near the penalty spot at the right time. And before Jang Hyun-so flew over to block it, he shot the ball into the top left corner of the South Korean goal.
Immediately afterwards, when the national TV commentator sitting in the broadcast seat, Liu Jianhong excitedly raised his arms and was about to celebrate the Chinese team's goal, but goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong was like a god descending from heaven, stretching his body to the extreme, and holding the ball out of the bottom line with one palm with his right hand.
Although the corner kick sent by Huang Wenbo was pushed out of the penalty area by the South Koreans, the football that was pushed out of the penalty area by the opponent was still grabbed by Wang Yongbo, who was waiting at the top of the arc of the penalty area.
Because the players on both sides in the South Korean team's penalty area were too dense, Wang Yongbo chose to pass the ball to Zheng Zhi behind him, and he reorganized the attack.
However, because the South Korean team has already arranged a defensive formation, and several frontcourt attackers of the Chinese team are also closely guarded by the opponent. Therefore, Zheng Zhi had to continue to pass the ball behind him, in the hope of being able to pull away the opponent's defense.
However, as the continuous offensive of the Chinese team posed a considerable threat to the South Korean team's defense, Zheng Zhi's "strategic return pass" did not seem to have the desired effect.
As a result, in the last ten minutes of the first half, although the Chinese team took the initiative on the field, most of the players of the South Korean team retreated to the vicinity of the penalty area, and they were unable to knock on the opponent's door after all.
The reason why the Chinese team has an obvious advantage on the field, but has never been able to really tear apart the opponent's defense, is actually related to the starting lineup of Fu Bo.
Originally, Fu Bo was going to continue to send Qu Bo, who had performed well in the last game, on the right side, in order to use his speed advantage to attack the left side of the South Korean team's defense.
Unfortunately, not long after Fu Bo announced the starting list against the South Korean team in the team, the news came that Qu Bo fell and injured his right arm when he took a shower after training.
In desperation, Fu Bo had to put Sun Ke, who was also prepared as a "secret weapon", into the starting lineup in advance.
Although Sun Ke and Gao Lin are two players, they have a certain ability to break through with the ball. However, due to the absolute speed of the two, they do not have much advantage compared to the Korean players. Therefore, when the opponent has set up a defensive formation, it will be difficult for the two of them to break through the opponent's side defense.
Therefore, when the first half of the game was about to enter injury time, Fu Bo found Feng Quan.
"Daquan, after the first half of the game is over, you will stay on the field to warm up." After a pause, Fu Bo continued: "If the South Koreans continue to choose to retreat to the vicinity of the penalty area like this in the second half of the game, you will use your long-range shot to blast the goalkeeper of the South Korean team into the goal like you did in the last game against Japan." ”
………………
Although before the end of the first half, Fu Bo told Feng Quan to prepare for the second half of the substitute. However, before the restart of the second half, Fu Bo did not immediately arrange for him to play.
It wasn't until the 7th minute of the second half that Gao Lin forced a breakthrough on the right side and created a corner kick for the Chinese team, and Fu Bo replaced Wang Yongbo, who was slightly injured, with Feng Quan.
Just when Huang Wenbo, who was in charge of the corner kick, was about to drive the ball to the penalty area, Zhang Linpeng, who had been responsible for grabbing points in the penalty area, suddenly ran in front of Huang Wenbo. Then whispered a few words to it.
Immediately afterwards, when Zhang Linpeng ran back to the penalty area, Huang Wenbo, who was standing near the corner kick area on the right side, suddenly raised his arms high, and made a "index finger pointing to the sky" action.
The next moment, when the Chinese player standing in the penalty area saw Huang Wenbo raising his arms, he quickly rushed from his position in the direction of the small penalty area.
