Chapter 336: The Jedi Strikes Back

Li Liang has been thinking nervously, if he is on the field? How should the competition be played?

After only half the game, he realised that if he was on the pitch, he could not have played any easier than when he was representing Monaco.

In the games he has played, he has always had the likes of Tiemoue Bakayoko and Fabinho behind him.

He didn't seem to be too worried about what serious consequences would happen if he made a mistake or lost the ball, and he couldn't help but think of Caldeira's arrangement in the tactical class: as long as he plays, Bakayoko and Fabinho will never be allowed to press at the same time.

Substituted himself into the first half of the national team, Li Liang suddenly realized that the difficulty of the game against the South Korean team was really not ordinary.

When the configuration of the team-mates around you is not up to the level of Monaco, it is impossible not to consider the mortal danger after a mistake or a goal.

Although he thought that he was still far away, Li Liang suddenly understood why some superstars in the professional league have always struggled to make breakthroughs in the national team.

So he has to go a few rounds, and if he plays as a member of the Chinese team, he will definitely have to work harder to play his true level in the game.

The second half of the game began, No. 17 Hao Jingmin, who had not recovered from a cold before the game, went into battle with illness to replace No. 15 Wu Dong, Gao Bohong's intention was obvious: to continue to strengthen the attack.

Li Liang was still worried, and from the first half, he found that South Korea had been concentrating on attacking the right side of the Chinese team.

Left wingback No. 3 Oh Jae Suk, left winger No. 7 Son Heung-min, and even second striker No. 13 Gu Ji-chul and center forward No. 10 Ji Dong-won are often attacking on the left flank.

Before the game, there were rumors that the Chinese team's right fullback No. 5 Zhao Linpeng's injury was not completely healed, and in the first half, Li Liang saw that Zhao Linpeng often appeared in the camera, and he couldn't help but kick Zhao Linpeng a little worried, in the face of such a dense attack by the opponent, Zhao Linpeng's consumption must be very large.

In the 47th minute, Wen Lei was tripped behind South Korea's captain Ji Chengyong in possession of the ball on the right side and won a free kick. Hao Jingmin took a free kick from the right, and Zhao Linpeng jumped up from the back post and headed the ball high into bounds.

Li Liang always felt that Zhao Linpeng didn't seem to dare to fully exert his strength, and it seemed that the impact of the injury on him had not been completely eliminated. He became more and more worried, the game time was just over halfway, can Zhao Linpeng persevere to the end?

In the 49th minute, the Chinese team's midfielder successfully broke the ball, and Wu Jae-seok kicked Su Ke who got the ball behind his back, ending the Chinese team's threatening counterattack with a yellow card.

In the 50th minute, Zhao Linpeng vigorously threw a throw-in outside the right sideline of the front field, and after a continuous aerial header relay by Xu Hai and Su Ke in front of the point, the ball fell near the penalty spot.

Ji Chengyong was a little big and wanted to stop and deal with the ball, but Wen Lei on the side suddenly appeared, stretched out his foot like lightning and poked the ball out, and then rose into the air and completed the volley with a very difficult sideways flying kick!

South Korea's goalkeeper No. 1 Jung Sung-ryong broke out in a cold sweat and flew up to make a save, and the ball flew out of bounds a little over the crossbar.

In the 53rd minute, Hao Jingmin took a free kick on the right side, Su Ke's header in front of the penalty area rubbed back, and Cheng Hang, who stepped forward to assist, risked injury, and desperately hooked the ball to the goal with his left foot under the opponent's scramble, Zheng Chenglong attacked to get the ball and save the day.

Seeing that the Chinese team's offensive is becoming more and more prosperous, the South Korean team has changed its attacking tactics, and the South Korean team's Bundesliga partners Ji Dong-won and Gu Zi-cheol, as well as two Premier League players - Son Heung-min and Li Qinglong, who plays for Crystal Palace, have obviously strengthened their mutual exchange and running, which has brought huge pressure to China's defense.

Ji Dongyuan, a high school striker who played with Gu Zizhe in the Bundesliga Augsburg, began to pull out of the penalty area to receive and run, and the Chinese team's back line was obviously unable to respond.

In the 55th minute, Ji Dongyuan got rid of Zhou Zhi's defense in the middle and distributed the ball to Son Xingmin, who was transferred to the right side, who took the ball into the penalty area and volleyed the ball high from a small angle.

Li Liang immediately felt a huge danger, these Korean players who were obviously one level higher on the field finally showed their fangs when the Korean team was at its most difficult, the Chinese team's morale was high, and the offensive was at its peak.

In the 63rd minute, Ji Dongyuan broke through on the left side, Zhao Linpeng kept retreating in the face of the opponent, and Ji Dongyuan sent a cross with his left foot after shaking it.

The ball was high and floating, not fast, and didn't look threatening.

However, Li Qinglong, who was at the back point, suddenly rushed up, he just jumped up at the back point, and beat Cheng Hang, who failed to get stuck in the position, and directly headed the goal!

The distance was too close, the ball speed was too fast, Zhong Cheng had no choice, and after making a save, the ball had bounced from under him and jumped into the bottom of the net! 2:0, the South Korean team successfully extended its lead!

The one-sided people on the barrage believe that the Chinese team is bound to lose.

Li Liang was dumbfounded, the high school striker pulled the side cross, and the winger grabbed the point in the middle, and the Korean team almost killed the game with such a simple routine!

He also noticed that Zhao Linpeng had obviously not been able to keep up with Chi Dongyuan's pace just now!

The morale of the Chinese team, which had just been boosted, was hit hard, and the faces of the players on the field were all dazed and at a loss.

When Ko Bohong hadn't come up with a countermeasure on the sidelines, the South Koreans made another comeback, and in the 66th minute, this time it was Son Heung-min who attacked on the left flank.

In the face of Zhao Linpeng's defense, he suddenly accelerated after shaking on the corner of the left penalty area, forcibly shook off the defense and broke through to the bottom line, and passed a low flat ball with his left foot in the moment before the ball went out of bounds.

The ball passed through Zhao Linpeng's sliding tackle and Feng Xiao's interception, and was refracted after being touched by Chi Dongyuan at the front point, and happened to pass over Zhou Zhi and Liu Xuepeng who were returning to defense.

Gu Zizhe squeezed past Cheng Hang's defense and completed the scramble at the back post again, and the ball hit the inside of the back post and bounced into the net!

3:0, the South Koreans seized the loopholes of the Chinese team's two wing defenses in a passive situation, and scored two goals in 3 minutes, almost completely killing the game!

Someone on the barrage is already praying that the Chinese team will not concede any more goals!

Li Liang looked up to the sky and sighed, the game has reached this point, and the hope of the Chinese team to get back the score is getting slimmer and slimmer.

Gao Bohong finally made an adjustment and replaced Zhao Linpeng, who was not in good shape, with No. 13 Zhang Mingjian.

After 3 goals behind, the Chinese players on the field completely let go of their burdens. Zhang Mingjian's arrival also had an immediate effect, and the South Koreans' left offensive was immediately effectively contained.

There was a noticeable relaxation in the South Koreans, with most of the players on the pitch believing victory was within reach.

The Chinese team did not give up, in the 74th minute, Hao Jingmin took the ball in the left corner of the penalty area, and then crossed with his right foot, Wu Jae-suk's header cleared directly to Xu Hai, Xu Hai got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and scored with his left foot to volley into the near corner, 1:3, the Chinese team pulled back a goal!

When Li Liang and netizens had not yet reacted, 1 minute later, Wen Lei was brought down by Zhang Xianxiu on the left side in front of the penalty area, and the Chinese team got a free kick opportunity.

Li Liang suddenly became nervous, this free kick with a distance of about 26 or 7 meters is undoubtedly a great opportunity to get back the score again!

Hao Jingmin lived up to expectations, kicked a perfect arc with his right foot, and the ball grazed the near post and hung straight into the dead corner to break the goal!

2:3, the Chinese team scored two goals in less than 2 minutes!

After a breakthrough on the field, South Korea coach Stillik immediately made personnel adjustments, replacing Gu Zi-cheol with Hwang Hee-chan, a 20-year-old young striker who plays for Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian First League, and changed to a double striker to continue to maintain the pressure on the Chinese team's backfield.

Gao Bohong also Geng Lin replaced Su Ke, who was exhausted.

In the 79th minute, Zhang Mingjian threw a strong throw-in on the right side to cause chaos in the penalty area, Xu Haiqian nodded the ball back, Geng Lin took away the defense of the central defender, Wen Lei and Zhang Xianxiu did not spray the ball in the scramble.

Cheng Hang swept the ball towards the gate with a volley of great difficulty at the back point, and Zheng Chenglong subconsciously lifted the ball out, causing the audience to exclaim.

In the 81st minute, Hao Jingmin took a corner kick from the right side, and Xu Haiqian nodded the ball out of bounds.

In the 85th minute, Feng Xiao broke the ball in the middle of the field and went straight to the ground, Geng Lin broke through to the penalty area near the line and fell to the ground and crossed, Hong just grabbed the ball before Wen Lei fell to the ground to destroy the ball, and the Chinese team missed the last good opportunity to equalize.
