Chapter 909: Breaking the Deadlock
As Gao Lin was pulled out of the penalty area to outside the penalty area, the overall back line of the South Korean team ran a few steps forward with Gao Lin out of defensive instinct.
It just so happened that the first back line of the South Korean team was built in the defensive 40-meter area, which means that the ten players of the South Korean team were compressed into a short 20-meter area, which was very dangerous for the defensive team.
Because they left a huge gap behind the backline.
At this time, Zhao Guanglai couldn't wait for a timeout in football and basketball games, so as to inform the players on the court of the latest defensive strategy.
Of course, this is not possible!
And the South Korean player's mind is all on defense, and there is no extra focus on the outside of the stadium at all, so he can only continue to wait.
I don't know if the Chinese team's attack was deliberately against him, the attack lasted for a very long time, and there was no reckless forward pass or side cross at all......
In this situation where the Chinese team had no way to attack forward, Wu Xi, who controlled the rhythm of the field, passed the ball to the captain Aylo.
This is the favourite tactic of the team with Elo, using his superior individual ability to create chances.
But at this time, the formation of the Korean team was compressed very tightly, and he had no way to bring the ball in the crowd.
At this moment, Gao Lin approached this side to prepare to respond, and at the same time brought out the central defender Li Zhengxiu, Yu Guang just saw Hao Junmin slowly running sideways, and Zhang Linpeng was also sticking to the right sideline, ready to step forward, and a route that could open the gap suddenly appeared in Arlo's mind.
In the face of Park Ji-sung and Ji Chengyong's defense, Ailuo suddenly shook a shot at his feet, played a rhythm difference on the outside of his right foot and passed the ball to Gao Lin, and then ran sideways, which is the most common wall-hitting coordination in offensive routines.
Even though Ji Chengyong, who was close to the middle, followed Ailuo very fast, Gao Lin and Ailuo's passing and running were very tacit, coupled with the distance of space, they could only watch Ai Luo receive Gao Lin's ball and continue to dribble horizontally, so Li Ronglai, who was standing on the left side of the defense, had to leave his defense area, and hurriedly stepped forward to defend, preparing to close the door with Ji Chengyong to defend the captain of the Chinese team, Ailuo.
At the same time, Hao Junmin, who was jogging in the corner of the penalty area on the right side of the South Korean team, suddenly accelerated and sprinted diagonally around Lee Young-pyo, aiming for a large gap behind Lee Jung-so.
Li Rongpyo is thirty-three, neither speed nor explosiveness can be compared with the 24-year-old Hao Junmin, and he can't even pull people between the lightning and flint.
Fortunately, Li Rongbi has extremely rich experience in the game, he knows that he is the last defender of the team, and Iroh is still in possession at this time, if Hao Junmin stands up half of his body according to the current running rhythm, he will be blown offside, so he is not in a hurry to run with Hao Junmin in parallel.
What he didn't notice, however, was that right full-back Zhang Linpeng started at the same time, running diagonally from 25 meters from the baseline to the sideline towards the position left by Li Rongpyo.
In general, the full-back is taken away by the winger, and the attacking full-back must be filled by the defending full-back.
Li Qinglong has been paying attention to Zhang Linpeng's position when the Chinese team is attacking, so he realized the opponent's intention at the same time as the latter accelerated and accelerated.
However, Zhang Linpeng has the advantage of being the first to start, and his explosiveness is stronger than Li Qinglong, and Li Qinglong can only eat dust behind him......
Iroh stopped Gao Lin's return football and picked up his right foot.
Ji Chengyong and Li Ronglai, who defended Ailo in this game, have slowly become familiar with Ailuo's offensive routines, in their subconscious, the Chinese team is impatient when they can't penetrate the ball in the continuous organization of attacks, and long-range shooting is one of the channels to vent, so the two of them are ready to block Ailuo's long-range shot with their backs at the same time.
But...... It can only be said that Ji Chengyong and Li Ronglai are thinking a little too much.
Instead of a direct shot with his right foot, Iroh sent a penetrating through ball that rolled quickly to the left of the South Korean defence about 30 metres from the middle of the South Korean goal.
Oh oh !!
Looking at Zhang Linpeng, who was running at high speed, the Chinese fans in the stands shouted fiercely.
They knew that the long-awaited offensive opportunity of the Chinese team had finally arrived!
As the sound erupted from the stands became louder and louder, South Korean head coach Cho Guanglai's heart thumped......
Zhengyin's left full-back Li Rongbi did not continue to pay attention to Hao Junmin, who ran to the middle, but forcibly twisted the center of gravity of his body, wanting to interfere with Zhang Linpeng's handling of the ball, otherwise Zhang Linpeng would be in more trouble if he took the ball into the penalty area.
Actually, what he didn't know was that it was much better to stay in the middle of the box......
Because Hao Junmin, who was originally in an offside position, was inserted by Zhang Linpeng's high speed and became offside, Li Rongbi gave up Hao Junmin, who was outflanked in the middle, and turned around to go out to defend Zhang Linpeng, who was ready to play the ball, which was completely a failure in a failure.
Zhang Linpeng's speed was very fast, he glanced at the penalty area during the run, and saw Hao Junmin who was in the lead, and behind him was the South Korean central defender who gritted his teeth and chased back.
This is...... Great opportunity!
In order to be able to pass the ball to the penalty area faster, Zhang Linpeng fell to the ground and swept the ball towards the penalty area when he was still more than a meter away from the football.
Lee Young-pyo fell to the ground and slid the tackle without tackling the football, and Lee Jung-so, who was chasing back at the front point, also made a falling action, but did not tackle the football.
Goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong's afterglow saw that his teammates did not touch the ball, and his heart was cold.
Hao Junmin, whose football was outflanked in the middle, easily pushed the arch of his right foot into the bottom right corner of the goal.
※※※
As the ball rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal, the cheers of the Chinese fans in the stands reached the extreme.
The entire stadium was filled with the voice of Chinese.
At the same time, Huang Jianxiang of the on-site commentary seat said in high spirits: "The ball is in!" Entered! Zhang Linpeng assisted Hao Junmin to send the ball into the lower right corner of the goal, the Chinese team's attack was very clear, by the small range of Ai Luo and Gao Lin attracted the attention of more than five South Korean defenders, and then passed the ball to Zhang Linpeng, who was unmarked and inserted at high speed, and the next pass also showed the basic quality of the main right-back of the Premier League giants Chelsea, and swept the ball to the penalty area, this goal is definitely the most team-coordinated goal in this Asian Cup! ”
Hao Junmin, who scored the goal, was very happy, he turned a corner and ran to Zhang Linpeng who got up from the turf, and 90% of the credit for the goal just now was attributed to Zhang Linpeng.
Gao Hongbo, who was standing on the sidelines, could breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he could break the deadlock first, then the South Korean team could easily pass this hurdle.
The Chinese team took the lead in the 37th minute of the first half, and the fans who watched the live broadcast in China were excited.
The fans who watched the live broadcast on the Internet expressed themselves more directly, that is, scolding the Koreans.
"Thirty-three years of Feng Han is invincible, go to hell!"
"Ma Dan, from today on, Korean sticks will not be invincible in China for a century!"
"Kudos upstairs, long live the Chinese team!"
At this moment, the satisfaction of Chinese fans is getting stronger and stronger.
Before the game, the Korean media and Korean fans were extremely arrogant, what is the great thing about not leaving China in three sentences? Isn't it invincible in South Korea?
It's unfortunate to think about it, but now it's okay, the Chinese team has been attacking for nearly 40 minutes and finally scored a goal, which means that the South Korean team must press out with the Chinese team if they want to maintain their hope of advancing to the finals, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that if the South Korean team presses out and fights against the Chinese team, it will definitely be dead or dead!
※※※
"There was a clear gap in the strength of the two teams, and now the Chinese team took the lead in breaking the deadlock before the end of the first half, which is definitely a huge blow for the South Korean team...... At the same time, it means that they need to increase their investment in the offensive end, the super offensive ability of the Chinese team is well known, scoring an astonishing 14 goals in four games, which is the most in this Asian Cup, if the South Korean team invests too many offensive forces to be converted into effective goals, then the score on the field will likely be expanded......
The neutral commentator said.
In fact, Cho Guanglai, the head coach of the South Korean team, is already about to become an ant on a hot pot -- a group of turns.
He really didn't expect that the team would be attacked by the Chinese team after holding on for nearly 40 minutes, which is not scientific!
According to his idea, the team kept a draw in the first half, and the Chinese team, which had the advantage in the second half, would definitely not be able to help but increase the strength of the attack, and then it would be a good opportunity to counterattack.
But the Chinese team's goal shattered his hopes at once.
However, he is still relatively calm, there is not much time left in the first half, it is good to invest properly in the attack, if the big pressure fails to convert into a goal, but is successfully counterattacked by the Chinese team, that is the two-goal gap.
Even if Zhao Guanglai thinks about the problem with his toes, he knows that he will be two goals behind the Chinese team in the first half......
Or the biggest point difference in the history of China and South Korea will most likely come in the semi-finals of the 15th Asian Cup.
When the game restarted, the South Korean team consciously increased the number of attackers, but they did not invest as many troops as Gao Hongbo imagined, and the defensive players involved in the attack still paid more attention to the defense, they were more like a transfer station, and the offense mainly relied on the trio of Lee Qinglong, Gu Zizhe and Ji Dongwon.
If the troops invested are not enough, it will naturally not be able to achieve good results, so the situation on the field is still controlled by the Chinese team.
The score was behind but he didn't dare to press out to attack, which directly caused the dissatisfaction of the commentator of South Korea's national television: "What does Senior Zhao think about the problem?" Now it is we who are behind, at this time we should increase the strength of the attack, the defense is unable to solve the problem of falling behind, only the offensive goal can make our score equal! ”
As the game time passed quietly, the Chinese fans in the stands became more and more excited.
The crimson color that belongs to Chinese fans is almost a sea of joy......
