In fact, after Feng Quan turned on the skill of [Great God's Light] to increase the ability of his teammates, the overall strength of the Chinese team was no longer below the old rival South Korean team, and even slightly better than the opponent.

The reason why it fell into a passive situation in the opening stage was because the South Korean team put on a desperate posture as soon as it came up, which caught the Chinese team off guard, and the Chinese team rarely won against the Koreans, which made the players' game mentality somewhat nervous.

However, when the backline led by Feng Hyo-ting defused the South Koreans' menacing onslaught several times in succession, it also indirectly prompted the rest of his teammates to return to a normal state of mind.

When the Chinese team returned to normal, the situation on the field gradually formed an equilibrium, and as the situation on the field was balanced, the Chinese team's attack also began to make the opponent's defense feel enough pressure.

In the 17th minute of the first half of the game, Hao Junming, Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi successively collided with the wall to get rid of the entanglement of many South Korean players, and sent a precise through ball to the empty space near the corner of the big penalty area on the left side of the opponent.

Just as Hao Junming and other three midfield teammates continued to cooperate, Feng Quan, who was originally ambushed near the left midline, had already begun to accelerate and run forward.

Although the right back of the South Korean team, Cha Dury, has been sticking to Feng Quan's side inch by inch, how can he be an opponent when Feng Quan has already completed the start?

So, even if Che Duri took the risk of taking a card and pulled Feng Quan's shirt behind his back, he couldn't stop Feng Quan from taking the lead and then sent a straight cross to the front of goal before the three South Korean defenders formed a circle.

Although Gao Lin, who was outflanked in place, grabbed the first point, but under the interference of club teammate Kim Young-kwon, he still regrettably flew out of the bottom line by grazing the crossbar.

Although Gao Lin's header failed to break the deadlock on the field, it greatly boosted the morale of his teammates, after all, the Chinese team almost broke the goal with their first shot, if they can continue to maintain such an offensive, will they be far from the goal?

Not only that, the effective tandem of Hao Junming, Zheng Zhi, and Wu Xi in the midfield, as well as Gao Lin's goal-grabbing goal, also forced the South Korean team to send more defensive troops to guard against it. In this way, the South Koreans' defense against Feng Quan could not be as tight as in the opening game, so Feng Quan's chances of receiving passes from teammates in the front court gradually increased, and as Feng Quan won the ball more often, the Korean team also became loud in front of the goal.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Feng Quan received Zheng Zhi's ball on the right side of the front court and first pretended to break through the bottom, and when Park Joo Ho was fooled, he suddenly made a sudden stop and changed direction to complete the inward cut to the middle.

Feng Quan, who completed the inward cut, immediately swung his right leg to make a long-range shot after a slight adjustment, but when Ji Chengyong at the edge of the penalty area fell to the ground and shoveled towards him, Feng Quan's high right foot did not hit the football hard, but lightly jumped over Ji Chengyong's head, and then passed the ball with his left foot into the space on the left side of the penalty area before the football landed.

The next moment, Wu Lei, who has the top running ability in Asia, received a wonderful pass from Feng Quan before Zhang Xianxiu, who was about to clear the siege, without any suspense, and then directly aimed at the far end of the goal to complete a volley after a slight adjustment.

Although Zhang Xianxiu failed to stop Wu Lei from completing the shot, his fierce defensive momentum still affected Wu Lei's strength when shooting, so even if goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun looked a little embarrassed when he saved, he still blocked Wu Lei's shot from the bottom line after all.

Although Hao Junming's subsequent corner kick accurately found Gao Lin who was ambushed at the front point, under the interference of Kim Yingquan, Gao Lin's header still flew out of the bottom line again against the crossbar.

5 minutes later, after receiving Gao Lin's return in the middle of the front field, Feng Quan forcibly broke through the defense of Gu Zizhe and Ji Chengyong to near the top of the arc of the penalty area, and suddenly shot the ball to the left side of the opponent's goal.

Although the power and angle of Feng Quan's long-range shot were excellent, Kim Jin-hyun, who was very well prepared, still flew to block the ball off the bottom line.

…………

Although the pressure on the back line has doubled after the Chinese team's midfield returned to normal operation, South Korean coach Stillik has no intention of giving up the high-pressure pressing in the frontcourt.

If Stillik chooses to let the South Korean team give up the high-pressure pressing in the frontcourt, although it can relieve the pressure on the back line to a certain extent, but at the same time, it also makes the offensive organization of the Chinese team more calm.

The reason why the Chinese team was able to enter the final very smoothly in this Asian Cup was precisely because the Australian and United Arab Emirates teams were forced to choose the defensive position due to the strong deterrent force of the wind, which led to the Chinese team being able to organize the attack very calmly and continue to deliver shells to the three attackers in the front court.

Once the Chinese team takes the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field, and the Chinese team, which has two counterattack weapons at the same time, Feng Quan and Wu Lei, can calmly choose anti-counterattack tactics and further expand the advantage of the score lead.

It is precisely because he saw through the root cause of the defeat of the Chinese team's previous opponents that Stillik will still choose the high-pressure pressing in the front court despite the sharp increase in pressure on the backline, forcing the Chinese team to be unable to organize the attack relatively calmly like the previous two knockout games.

Although the midfielder led by Zheng Zhi can still pass the ball to the feet of the attacking core Feng Quan, under the fierce pressing of the South Koreans, their passing quality is still a little behind the previous two knockout games. As a result, the time left for Feng Quan to handle the ball for the first time was not as calm as in the first two games.

Although Feng Quan can create killing opportunities for his teammates with his superior personal ability, and he can also force the attack, his offensive threat is still a little behind the previous two games, and his physical strength is more obvious than before.

In this way, in order to distribute his physical energy more reasonably, Feng Quan relatively reduced the number of individual breakthroughs after entering the last 15 minutes of the first half of the game, and chose to pass the ball to his teammates more.

…………

Although Feng Quan's reduction in breakthrough led to a decrease in the offensive threat of the Chinese team, and also gave the South Korean team more offensive opportunities, Lippi, who was standing on the sidelines with a serious face, silently praised Feng Quan's choice in his heart.

Although the Chinese team's performance in this Asian Cup can be called the most eye-catching team, as a world-class coach, Lippi is very clear that the South Korean team, which also did not concede a goal to reach the final, is by no means as easy to deal with as many opponents it has encountered before.

For a long time, the capital of Korean football in Asia and even the world is their abundant physical fitness and the fighting spirit of never admitting defeat. Even in the World Cup, it will not be easy for those world-class European and American teams to defeat South Korea in the first half when they are relatively energetic. What's more, Lippi's native Italy was dragged to death by South Koreans in the 2002 World Cup.

Therefore, Lippi's pre-match request for the Chinese team was to put pressure on the opponent's goal on the basis of keeping the goal in the first half of the game, and then wait until the South Korean team's physical strength dropped, and then suddenly attack.

And the course of the first half was as Lippi expected, ending 0-0.
