Chapter 180: Champion: Looking forward to it
Chinese team lineup: 2-Wang Dalei; 2-Ren Hao, -Meng Fang, 5-Peng, 17-Zhu Dong; 10-Zheng Zhen, 15-Wu Xi; 8-Cai Huikang, 7-Wu Lei, 16-Sun Ke, 9-Jiang Chenxi.
South Korea line-up: 2-Kim Jin-hyun; 5-Kwak Tae-hui, 19-Kim Young-kwon, 20-Jang Hyun-so; - Kim Jin-so, 6-Park Joo-ho, 16-Ji Sung-yong, 10-Nam Tae-hee, 22-Cha Duri; 7-Sun Xingmin, 18-Li Tingxie.
"Jiang Chenxi !!" In the roar of He Wei's elongated voice, Jiang Chenxi deducted the goalkeeper of the attacking South Korean team, Kim Jin-hyun, and then volleyed, and the football flew up...... Flew into the empty door!
"The ball is in! The ball is in!! Come in! Come in! He Wei took a deep breath and continued to roar, "We- we're two goals ahead now!" Two to zero! We're two goals ahead of the Koreans! He Wei jumped up directly from the commentary seat, and he spoke incoherently with excitement.
"Jiang Chenxi! Jiang Chenxi! Jiang Chenxi! Two to zero! Jiang Chenxi scored twice! Two to zero! Two to zero! We lead South Korea by two goals! In the final of the 16th Asian Cup, we temporarily led the South Korean team by two goals in the first half of the game! Duan Xuan was also roaring, he even almost knocked over his water cup because of his emotion, and finally grabbed the water cup that was about to fall to the ground.
In the face of a goal like this, it was really hard for him to contain his emotions.
In fact, even if the first half of the game could only end with a score of 1-0, including He Wei and Duan Xuan and the Chinese fans in front of the TV were enough to be happy, the Chinese team has never won South Korea in international A-level events such as the Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers, but Jiang Chenxi was full of firepower and scored another goal in more than 30 minutes of the game......
Two goals ahead!
It was a score that no one expected.
Even, at this moment, in the minds of He Wei and Duan Xuan, they are already imagining and looking forward to the Asian Cup championship, because in a game like the Asian Cup final, few teams will be overturned by their opponents with a two-goal lead.
Therefore, judging from the current score and situation, the Chinese team is really very close to the Asian championship.
However, He Wei and Duan Xuan wisely did not mention the words 'lock the champion', they were afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, they wanted to save character, neither of them was superstitious, but they were more and more cautious, they were too much to look forward to this Asian Cup champion, so that they suffered from gains and losses.
Chinese football, the Chinese team has never been so close to the Asian Cup championship, which is even more promising than the Asian Cup final in 2004, and now it is 2-0 ahead of the South Koreans!
……
It was not only He Wei who was excited, but also countless Chinese fans in the stands, in front of the TV and the computer.
When I saw the football fly into the goal, some people were cheering and shouting, and some people seemed to can't believe their eyes, before the half of the game was over, we were leading the South Korean team 2-0?
Are you sure it's not South Korea leading us 2-0?
Happiness came so suddenly, they couldn't believe it.
In the live screen, the score changed:
China 2:0 South Korea!
Everyone erupted in loud cheers, and the televisions clenched their fists, shouted, and jumped and jumped.
Some raised the beer glass in their hands, some held the wine glass, some picked up the drink, and countless people raised their glasses to congratulate!
The Chinese fans at the scene were singing loudly:
"This is the beautiful motherland
It's where I grew up
In this vast land
Bright scenery everywhere"
Li Xiaoming waved the five-star red flag in his hand, his mouth was blowing a small trumpet, his whole face was red, and his father Li Jianguo was blowing suona: tick tick ......
Suona sounded the melody of 'my motherland'!
Li Jianguo's eyes are red, he is very satisfied now, he feels that he is right to take his son to Sydney to watch the Asian Cup final with a hot head, yes, it is very distressing to spend so much money, but now he knows that he is so happy, so enjoyable, enjoying the feeling of happiness now, this day, this moment, he will never forget it for the rest of his life.
……
Jiang Chenxi and his teammates high-fived each other.
All the players of the Chinese team were extremely excited, and they took the lead by two goals!
Of course, they know what it means to be two goals ahead, although it can't be said that they are locked in the championship, but at least with two goals in hand, everyone's hearts are more confident.
Jiang Chenxi scored twice to help the Chinese team rewrite the score to 2-0.
The South Korean players were completely unresponsive, and the second goal was more devastating than the first.
The first goal was a penalty, and many Korean players thought that the lost goal was an accident, and even because of the referee's partiality, it was Jiang Chenxi who faked a fall, and they were not convinced.
However, the second goal was lost, Jiang Chenxi dribbled the ball all the way, passed three people in a row, and finally even the goalkeeper passed and scored an empty goal.
Such a goal is so beautiful, such a goal is so embarrassing!
Under such a conceded goal, the stars of the South Korean team who secretly vowed to fight to the death with Jiang Chenxi before the final and defeated Jiang Chenxi in front of the whole of Asia were all disgraced at this time.
Previously, they had never played against Jiang Chenxi, and they didn't know Jiang Chenxi's strength, of course, like Ji Chengyong and others had played against Jiang Chenxi in the Premier League, but they would subconsciously tell themselves that Jiang Chenxi was indeed very strong, but there was also the strength of the whole Liverpool team, but at this moment, in the face of the score of 0-2 behind, they had to admit that Jiang Chenxi was strong, and they had to admit how big the gap between themselves and Jiang Chenxi was......
The head coach of the South Korean team, Stillik, was a little confused, the current score of the game was unexpected, and now he was a little at a loss, he knew that he had to deal with the current situation as soon as possible, however, his mind was now blank, so to speak, for this final, Stillik did a lot of homework, of course, he also considered how to defend Jiang Chenxi, of course, in fact, Stillik did not find a good way to limit Jiang Chenxi, but, This does not mean that he is mentally prepared to fall behind 0-2 in the first half of the game, in Stillik's consideration, he has been prepared to concede the goal, but the worst case is just 0-1 down, or in other words, Stillik estimates that the biggest possibility is that the South Korean team leads 2-1, or a 1-1 draw with the Chinese team at halftime.
But, now, 0 to two?!
This is unacceptable to Stillic!
You must know that before the Chinese team scored the first goal, the South Korean team completely grasped the initiative on the field.
The Chinese team has no chance at all, and no one dares to think that there will be such a sudden change in the future!
The Chinese team took the lead with a counter-attack and then scored a penalty.
Even after conceding that goal, Stillik was adamant that South Korea would be able to equalise before the end of the first half, and even a 2-1 comeback if they were lucky.
It can be said that the second goal conceded was a great blow for Stillick!
Now he was standing on the sidelines, he was a little at a loss, he didn't know how to deal with it, and the original tactics were all decorations.
Stillik and the South Korean team have thought about the plan of going 0-2 in the first half!
Chinese team lineup: 2-Wang Dalei; 2-Ren Hao, -Meng Fang, 5-Peng, 17-Zhu Dong; 10-Zheng Zhen, 15-Wu Xi; 8-Cai Huikang, 7-Wu Lei, 16-Sun Ke, 9-Jiang Chenxi.
South Korea line-up: 2-Kim Jin-hyun; 5-Kwak Tae-hui, 19-Kim Young-kwon, 20-Jang Hyun-so; - Kim Jin-so, 6-Park Joo-ho, 16-Ji Sung-yong, 10-Nam Tae-hee, 22-Cha Duri; 7-Sun Xingmin, 18-Li Tingxie.
……
When facing Jiang Chenxi, two goals behind, how to play this game?
Stillik racked his brains, he didn't know.
He was even a little discouraged.
How to contain Jiang Chenxi, this is not only a problem faced by the South Korean team, so many excellent coaches around the world, including Mourinho, Wenger, Ancelotti and other championship coaches, they have not found a solution to the problem, is he Stillick more powerful than those people?
Stillik took a deep breath.
He made a decision.
Don't think about getting a goal back in the first half of the game, now in this situation, the South Korean team will do a good job of defending first, don't press out to attack, the two goals of the Chinese team are counterattacked, if the third goal is scored by the Chinese team's counterattack before the end of the first half, this final can be declared over in advance.
Stillik decided to look for a solution to the problem at half-time.
Subsequently, it was noticed that after the game restarted, the South Korean team did not press out and attack as before, and the South Korean team began to shrink the formation.
"South Korea has slowed down the pace of the game." "They need to breathe a sigh of relief and avoid conceding more goals!" ”
Hearing He Wei say this, there was a burst of laughter in front of the TV, which was just like the sentence He Wei said when he was commenting on the game with Australia before, "There is not much time left for Australians", which made fans laugh, these words were originally the words of the Chinese commentator who routinely complained about the Chinese team.
The South Korean team contracted the front and did not press out again.
On the Chinese side, in the face of the relatively neat defense of the South Korean team, there is no good offensive means, and at the same time, with a two-goal lead, there is no need for the Chinese team to risk pressing out to attack.
The two sides were at a stalemate, each other was more cautious, and the game became calm for a while.
In this way, until the end of the first half, the score did not change again.
The Chinese team led the South Korean team 2:0.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the Chinese fans in front of the TV let out a burst of cheers, and some people hurried to the toilet to release water, the game was so exciting that they did not dare to walk away in front of the TV at all, for fear of missing an important moment.
Although the Chinese team did not score again, the game was still 2-0, but this was enough to satisfy the fans of the Chinese team.
On the stage of the Asian Cup final, leading the South Korean team 2-0 at halftime is sweeter than a dream!
……
During the intermission, in the studio in Beijing, the commentators and commentators had excited expressions on their faces, and the joy was not suppressed at all, and everyone was laughing.
CCTV's famous host Bai Yisong showed a rare smile.
He said about the first half of the game, "Jiang Chenxi is too good, too strong, maybe there is a suspicion of arrogance, but, in fact, in the current Asian arena, Jiang Chenxi is an almost bug existence, rumors say that the players of the South Korean team have said before the game that they want to win Jiang Chenxi, but, it turns out, it is really difficult for them to stop Jiang Chenxi." ”
Bai Yisong is the most famous fan among the many hosts of CCTV, and he has participated in the CCTV Sports Channel's "Three Flavors Chat Zhai" program many times, which is a special interactive talk show, hosted by Liu Jianhong and Bai Yisong, inviting a mysterious guest every day to talk about a special topic every day.
Of course, Bai Yisong is also known for his sharp words, in 2008 the Chinese Olympic team did not qualify, the Chinese Football Association gambled on the 08 National Olympic team strategy after a comprehensive fiasco, Bai Yisong has publicly said that the Chinese Football Association should be disbanded, Chinese football is gloomy, although this is too pessimistic under the anger, but this is enough to show his disappointment in Chinese football.

"China has produced a Jiang Chenxi, which is a blessing accumulated in several lifetimes."
