Since the 2001 Top 10 qualifier against Oman, there has been no match that has been as much of a national attention as this one.

Lippi, Wen Zhihao, Koreanophobia...... The suspense is enough to attract all the attention.

Expectations were high for the match ahead of the game. In the last round, the Chinese team just won its first victory in Qatar, and its morale is in the recovery stage. Today, the magical blessed land of Helong Stadium will be the best chance for the Chinese team to get rid of the shadow of Koreanophobia in one fell swoop.

In addition to the fans who are lucky enough to cheer on the stadium, there are also a larger number of fans who choose to crouch in the major bars, restaurants and tea houses, or stay in front of their own screens. Hundreds of millions of Chinese hearts in the north and south of the river are closely connected to the Helong Stadium every minute and every second.

More than half an hour before the official start of the game, all the media stationed in front of the front announced the starters of both sides.

Considering the overall strength of the South Korean team, Lippi settled on a 4-2-3-1 formation. Zeng Cheng returned from injury and continued to guard the Dragon Gate. In the backline, the Evergrande Gang is the mainstay. Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang played as the double central defenders, and the assisting ability of right-back Zhang Linpeng and left-back Jiang Zhipeng is second to none in China. Thanks to the addition of Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin, the midfield has changed from the weakness of the Chinese team to the strongest link. Lippi opted for Zheng Zhi and Liang Xin, a combination of experience and dynamism. In the previous training, Lippi consciously arranged for Zheng Zhi and Liang Xin to partner, so the tacit understanding between the two was not a problem. Wen Zhihao appeared in the middle of the three attacking forwards, similar to a forward midfielder, flanked by Wu Qiu Wang and Wang Yongpo. In the single arrow position, Lippi chose the fortune of the national football team for many years. Compared with Zhang Yuning, he is more like a swimming No. 9 and a half player, who can form more varied coordination routines with Wen Zhihao behind him.

The South Korean team's starting line-up is still the main force. In addition to Son Heung-min, who could not appear, several major European players Ji Chengyong, Gu Zizhe, and Ji Dongyuan all appeared.

It is also worth mentioning that the AFC sent an Australian referee team for this match. Referee Peter Green has previously officiated the matches of Chinese Super League teams such as Evergrande and Luneng in the AFC Champions League, and the Chinese team has only lost one of these games, which can be said to be a big plus for the Chinese team. After learning about this meme, most fans have more confidence.

……

At 7:35 p.m. Beijing time, Green blew the much-anticipated opening whistle on time, and the cheers of the audience brought the atmosphere into the first "gaochao".

CCTV commentary partners He Wei and Xu Yang were passionate: "The game begins!" This is Changsha. In the sixth round of the top 12 of the Asian region of the World Cup in Russia, the much-watched showdown between China and South Korea officially began. ”

In the first half, South Korea, who were playing away, kicked off first. South Korea took advantage of the first possession, and Ji Dongwon's shot from outside the box in the 10th minute went just wide of the goal, shocking Zeng Cheng into a cold sweat.

Wen Zhihao walked over to Liang Xin in the gap between the re-kick-off after the shot: "Steady!" You just think it's me! ”

Playing for the national team for the first time, Liang Xin didn't expect that he could be entrusted with a heavy task so quickly, and his mentality inevitably fluctuated.

Liang Xin subconsciously glanced at the coach's seat at this time, he was worried that his negligence would make Lippi dissatisfied. However, Lippi's expression did not change, and his conscience secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He Wei is still more inclined to encourage Liang Xin: "Fans who have been following the Eredivisie this season know that this is not Liang Xin's true strength. After all, the responsibility of representing the national team is greater, and it is inevitable that the mentality of young players will fluctuate. I hope that Liang Xin will adjust his mentality as soon as possible and play his due level. ”

In fact, not only Liang Xin, but also many players on the field are under a lot of pressure. The confrontation between the two teams of China and South Korea at all levels, from the national youth to the national Olympic team and the national team, every group of players was suppressed by the South Korean team, and it was such an important world preliminaries, everyone was holding back a momentum that they had to win. However, if the obsession in my heart is too heavy, it will affect the normal technical performance.

In the first 20 minutes of the opening game, although the Chinese team worked hard, there were also many mistakes in the midfield, and the South Korean team seized these opportunities to create a threat attack far greater than the Chinese team.

Wen Zhihao saw that the situation was unfavorable and wanted to take it back to stabilize his position first, but as soon as he stepped back, Lippi immediately commanded his assistant Maddaloni to shout: "Go forward!" Forward! Don't go back! ”

Wen Zhihao chose a compromise approach, interspersed with more lateral runs in the midfield, tried to contain Ji Chengyong's offensive input, and at the same time added a point to the ball from defense to attack.

He Wei fully affirmed Wen Zhihao's choice: "Zhihao is really a player with a very clear mind to play football, as long as he keeps running, whether it is Ji Chengyong or Zhang Xianxiu, it is impossible to devote himself to the attack. ”

Although the field is relatively passive, the Chinese team has always insisted on landing cooperation, rather than blindly driving big feet. Otherwise, Wen Zhihao had no ability, and he could only stare at the ball flying around.

Twenty minutes later, dodging the opponent's opening three-board axe, the players' mentality slowly calmed down, and the Chinese team's offense began to threaten. Wu Qiuwang's diagonal pass to Yu Dabao's half-single knife almost helped the Chinese team rewrite the score in the 30th minute.

After one or two chances, the atmosphere on the scene was revived again, and the Chinese team instigated several threatening counterattacks while the iron was hot. In the 34th minute, Zhang Linpeng's burst shot after rushing into 50 meters with the ball was blocked by Hong Zheng with his body, and the Chinese team got a corner kick opportunity.

Wen Zhihao and Wang Yongpo discussed for a while and then came to the corner kick area at the same time, seemingly to play a tactical corner kick, which subconsciously distracted the attention of some defenders of the opposing side for a moment.

After the referee Green whistled, Wen Zhihao made a quick gesture, and then a ball with a very flat arc drove to the front of the penalty area.

"Corner kick, to the front point, Yu Dabao!" He Wei saw Yu Dabao running forward from the middle lane for the first time, and his voice suddenly increased.

Wen Zhihao's corner kick happened to coincide with Yu Dabao's running line, just poking out most of his head from the crowd, and Yu Dabao rubbed the ball directly into the far corner. South Korea's goalkeeper Kwon Soon-tae misjudged the mistaken view of the dense line of sight, only moved a slight step to the left, and then watched in despair as the ball flew off his left hand side and into the goal.

Helong Stadium suddenly resounded with an earth-shattering shout, echoing the madness of fans from all over the world.

Xu Yang roared emotionally: "Beautiful! Pretty! Yu Dabao! ”

He Wei stated with sincerity: "Four years ago, Yu Dabao was also here, and he killed Iraq at the last moment in the heavy rain. Today, he stood up again to break the deadlock for the Chinese team, which is really a blessing! ”
