It is often said that football is a war without gunpowder.

If today's duel is a war, it must be the most blood-pumping one.

Li Liang has already personally felt the difference from the games between clubs he has experienced, and at this moment all his comrades-in-arms have the same blood, speak the same mother tongue, and think the same way-

The outcome of this war is related to whether the dream of impacting the World Cup can be continued, and it is also about the glory of the entire country and nation!

After Li Liang returned to the stadium again, the audience at the Marshal Sports Center was united and all stood up and shouted with all their might.

Everyone has clearly felt that the Chinese team has shown unprecedented momentum on the field!

The audience is willing to contribute all their strength, hoping to help the Chinese team, which has risen sharply, to break the door of the Koreans in one go!

The players of the Chinese team also felt the amazing change in each other, and many of the players suddenly realized - how long has it been since they have been so wholeheartedly eager to win the game?

Don't rely on strong foreign aid, don't rely on the "help" of the referee, don't rely on the "greeting" of the opposite side in advance, today is to rely on yourself to win the powerful opponent in front of you!

The Koreans, of course, felt the amazing momentum of their opponents, and unlike in the past, this time the so-called psychological superiority and ample self-confidence of the Koreans have begun to waver.

Before a panicked Stielik could give his command, the South Korean players had begun to shrink as they hoped to hold on to a 0-0 draw with less than 10 minutes left in the first half.

After all, not counting the game with the Chinese team, there are still 4 games in the World Preliminaries, and it is a completely acceptable result to get 1 point in today's game.

The Chinese team is the opposite, and not getting 3 points means completely losing hope!

Because of the sharp improvement in the combat effectiveness of his teammates, Li Liang felt the pressure on his body drop sharply, although the South Korean contracted the formation and set up the bus, but his movement in the front court was more calm.

He Wei said in surprise: "Li Liang doesn't seem to have much of a problem, his persistence has greatly inspired his teammates, and now the morale of the Chinese team is getting higher and higher, forming a siege on the South Korean team before halftime!" ”

Xue Yang was also full of praise: "It seemed that Li Liang was the only one in the state before, which also gave the Korean team a clear goal when defending.

Now that the Chinese team is firing more in the frontcourt, Li Liang is facing a lot less defensive pressure!

The South Koreans are currently very difficult on the field, of course, this has something to do with the fact that the two South Korean midfielders have received yellow cards, all in all, it is a rare opportunity for the Chinese team, I hope the boys can turn the advantage into goals! ”

The game has come to the 40th minute, China's midfielder is relaxed, South Korea only left Gu Zizhe and Lee Tingxie in the front, and the rest of the team all retreated to the half.

In the wave after wave of calls, Li Liang began to take the initiative to ask for the ball, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that even though he still felt that the movements under his feet were not so handy, because his teammates were playing better and better, everyone won enough time and space for themselves to adjust.

Madanilo was a little worried: "Are we pressing too high?" ”

Lippi replied quietly: "I don't think there's a problem!" ”

When formulating tactics before the game, Lippi and his assistants agreed that it was extremely unwise to attack South Korea head-on, so he asked the two wingers Wang Yong and Wen Lei to run at all costs, which actually played the role of two full-backs.

In this way, with the addition of the original 3 people in the midfield, the Chinese team actually discharged 5 people to fight with the opponent in the midfield.

De Rosso and others were worried that the five technical midfielders would not be able to cope with the South Koreans' strangulation, but Lippi was stubborn and resolutely disagreed with adding defensive sappers to the midfield.

He told his aides firmly: "If we only have Lee as a point that can hold the ball, then the Korean team can easily separate him from everyone!"

If we can have a few people to share the pressure at the same time, we will definitely be able to take the midfield! ”

Lippi Li overrode the public opinion to formulate a way of playing for the Chinese team to insist on passing through the midfield quickly on the ground, and made it clear that Li Liang would not be the main direction of attack in the early stage of the game - according to the original plan, it was necessary to make immediate adjustments according to the situation on the field, but he repeatedly warned the players not to press too easily to avoid being played by the Koreans to play a quick counterattack.

Every run, every touch Li Liang got more time to adjust, which made his confidence skyrocket all of a sudden.

Because of the excessive consumption in the hard battle against Manchester City, and the fact that the new skills seem to be in too long a cooldown time, Li Liang has not been able to find his form in training after returning to China.

After he made a huge contribution at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in another way, when he gritted his teeth and persisted in the two lottery draws, not only all the spectators were deeply moved, but all his teammates were also deeply inspired, and all the knots in their hearts were opened!

The players of the Chinese team not only played at the normal level in training on the field, but it can be said that almost all of them played the best performance of their careers under heavy pressure!

If Gaudino thinks that Li Liang's "magic" is to make the audience excited in a very short time, then Lippi now believes that this "magic" is far more than that-

Li Liang used his best efforts, as well as sweat and blood, to make his teammates all enthusiastic!

In a sense, until the game has been going on, Li Liang has been gritting his teeth and pushing the team to help everyone get out of the huge pressure!

Lippi couldn't hold back any longer, as if he had returned to the days when he had just started coaching decades ago, striding towards the command area and yelling at the field.

His assistants were a little taken aback, and then immediately shouted excitedly, and the other internationals on the bench were also cheering desperately.

He Wei said with emotion: "I really can't remember how long I haven't seen such a Chinese team, playing such a performance, I believe that no matter what the result is, the fans will be proud of you!" ”

Xue Yang followed: "That's true, but we hope that the Chinese team can use a victory today to repay all the fans who have never given up and have always cared about and supported them!" ”

In the case of a great situation, Li Liang began to consciously retreat to ask for the ball. He understands that if he blindly compresses the opponent's defense, then the offensive space left for the Chinese team will become smaller and smaller.

Facing the opponent's two tall central defenders Zhang Xianxiu and Hong Hao, as well as Ji Chengyong and Ji Dongyuan, who are also close to 1.9 meters tall, Xu Bao, who is 1.82 meters tall, cannot take advantage of anything when competing for the top, so that it is impossible to use rushing tactics to break the dense defense.

Ji Chengyong's foul in a hurry just now almost let Zhao Linpeng win a free kick vigorously, and Stillik immediately emphasized on the sidelines that he must not give a free kick near the penalty area of the Chinese team, and the South Korean team has all watched Li Liang's game video and has a clear understanding of his set-piece skills.

As soon as Li Liang himself entered the 30-meter area, at least two South Korean players were immediately with him, and their defensive strategy was very clear, resolutely not allowing Li Liang to turn around and face the goal to attack or organize directly.

Li Liang did not dare to force a breakthrough, but was more worried that he would pose a great threat to his teammates after losing the ball.

The other Chinese players on the field are not good at getting rid of and breaking through in positional battles, and the South Koreans obviously took advantage of the characteristics of the Chinese team, and simply gave up the midfield to defend the 30-meter area.

Their goal was very clear, to hold on to the last few minutes of the first half, and it would be a surprise if they could take advantage of the Chinese team's mistakes to play a counter-attack.

The ball was never able to penetrate into the South Korean team's penalty area, and Li Liang knew that if he wanted to break the dense defense, there was only one last way left.
