The commentators in the commentary seat got the official starting list of both sides half an hour before the game, and many neutral commentators shook their heads again and again, the starting lineup of the Chinese team was too bullying......

The starting eleven of the Chinese team are all from overseas, goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei, four defenders are Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and Zhang Linpeng, the three midfielders are Zhao Xuri, Wu Xi and Chen Tao, and the three forwards are Ailuo, Gao Lin and Hao Junmin.

It seems that the lineup is full of strategy.

Therefore, in order to resist the strong attacking power of the Chinese team, the South Korean team discharged a formation of four or five formations that tend to defend, and Zhao Guanglai imitated Mourinho in the middle by Ji Chengyong, Lee Yong-rae and captain Park Ji-sung to partner with three backs, two wings are Lee Qinglong and Gu Zi-cheol, the striker is Ji Dong-won after 90s, and the four defenders are Lee Young-pyo, Cho Young-hyung, Lee Jung-so and Cha Duri.

After the start of the game, the South Korean team relied on its strong fighting spirit and full-court pressing at the expense of physical strength to fight with the Chinese team, and even used the soft whistle characteristics of the referee on duty to frequently make physical contact with the Chinese players.

That's right, Zhao Guanglai's strategy in this game is to fight with the Chinese team, and then use frequent fouls to interrupt the offensive rhythm of the Chinese team, so that the Chinese team does not organize the attack comfortably, as long as the first half does not concede the ball, then the second half is the opportunity for the South Korean team!

Although the Chinese team was prepared in this regard before the start of the game, it was really uncomfortable to really face the South Korean team's physical scrambling and destruction, and even Ailo encountered problems in this regard.

Originally, Iroh wanted to bully Che Duri, a defender who was about to turn 30 years old, but the other party was not fooled, calmly waiting for the support of his teammates to act together, and by the time Iroh wanted to play the ball, the other defenders of the South Korean team had already stood up, using each other's abundant physical strength to make up for the local disadvantage.

Football matches are sometimes like this, even though the gap between the two sides is obvious, but the slightly inferior side as long as each player runs two more steps between each other, the huge gap will slowly decrease with the efforts of the team.

There is also a certain reason why world football often breaks out in upsets.

Zhao Guanglai has studied the offensive routines of the Chinese team very deeply, knowing that once the Chinese team can't open the situation, it will use Iroh's super set-piece ability to find opportunities, so in this game he asked the players on the field to foul 35 meters away, but once they enter 35 meters, they must follow the strategy of collective defense.

In addition, the players of this South Korean team are very tactically disciplined, and they play completely according to Zhao Guanglai's arrangement.

Therefore, in the past fifteen minutes of the game, the Chinese team did not give full play to their technical advantages, and threatened Zheng Chenglong to guard the goal less often.

Huang Jianxiang, who commented on the scene, frowned and said: "The South Korean team is more tenacious than we thought before the game, they make up for the gap between each other through active running, and even have a certain advantage in the first fifteen minutes of the game, but their energy seems to be too focused on defense, and they can't form a fast attack ...... several times from defense to offense."

It is no wonder that the South Korean team can stand among the top Asian teams with its abundant physical fitness, rigorous tactical discipline and super willpower, but it also has a fatal flaw, once it encounters a strong team, it will be busy defending and have no time to take care of the attack, this is the case with the Chinese team in the Asian Cup semi-finals.

However, the head coach of the South Korean team and the Korean commentator in the on-site commentary seat did not blame the Korean players on the field, but silently cheered up the players on the field in their hearts.

The Chinese players on the pitch felt more and more impatient, and many of their players played in last year's World Cup in South Africa.

And it's the fifth place in the World Cup?

But it is a bit incomprehensible to have this kind of honor but not be able to break the goal of the South Korean team in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup!

In fact, Gao Hongbo, who is already standing in the technical command area, is also a little puzzling, it stands to reason that the overall strength of the Chinese team is much higher than that of the South Korean team, and the four-person attack combination of Ailuo, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Chen Tao is very tacit, and it should not be a problem to break the deadlock, but the South Korean team simply shortened the gap between the two sides in a short period of time by echoing each other......

※※※

With the passage of time, the Chinese team played more and more impatiently, and the result of impatience was a series of mistakes under the active scrambling of the South Korean team.

Park Ji-sung is worthy of being the most experienced player in the South Korean team, in the 21st minute, he grabbed a mistake of Chen Tao directly plugging Hao Junmin, cut off the ball and made a direct long pass to find Li Qinglong, who played in the Premier League, he had a very thorough understanding of the tactics of the long pass counterattack, and the two players who played in the Premier League formed a good echo, and the middle of the Gu Zi-cheol and Ji Dong-won followed very positively, and a three-on-three situation was formed in the blink of an eye.

However, at this moment, Zhang Linpeng, who was chasing back at high speed, came to a Premier League-style tackle three meters away from the side, forcing Li Qinglong to choose to protect himself and jump after the ball.

His jump also brought the control of football back to the feet of the Chinese team.

However, the South Korean team did not stand still because this counterattack did not work, but quickly turned around and ran back to participate in a new round of defense.

For them, keeping the goal clean in the first half is the task to get the job done, and as for whether they will score, it depends on God's arrangement.

At this time, commentator Huang Jianxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, Zhang Linpeng's recovery speed is very fast, and the defensive action is selected correctly, and the timing of the tackle is also very good." ”

It didn't take long for the Chinese team's pass to be kicked out of the sideline by Gu Zizhe.

Interestingly, the on-site director explained a very interesting shot, South Korea was previously a quick counterattack from defense to attack, Zhang Linpeng left the ball at Li Qinglong's feet behind the side, and after he passed the ball out, he deliberately bent over and glared at Li Qinglong, and stretched out his index finger to shake it in front of Li Qinglong's eyes, the meaning is very obvious.

Seeing the footage of the on-site director, Huang Jianxiang said with a smile: "I remember that before the semi-finals, the South Korean midfielder Li Qinglong said that he couldn't find Zhang Linpeng in this season's Premier League, looking at the footage that appeared just now, I thought...... Li Qinglong doesn't have this strength yet! ”

Chinese fans tuning in to the live TV were thrilled.

Those who offend my Chinese prestige will be punished even if they are far away!

And with the direct dialogue between Zhang Linpeng and Li Qinglong, the two seem to be a little bit on the same page.

As long as Zhang Linpeng is on the right side of the Chinese team's attack, then Li Qinglong will actively participate in the defense, but as an offensive player, where is Zhang Linpeng's defensive ability?

So Li Qinglong suffered a big loss in defending Zhang Linpeng, and even kicked Zhang Linpeng down behind in a defense in the 26th minute, which almost caused a conflict between the players of the two sides, so he also received a yellow card.

The commentator of China Network TV satirized Li Qinglong's foul: "Do Koreans only speak out to be ashamed? If you say that you can't find the north? But now that our Zhang Wuye can't find you in the north, but you start to lose your temper, can you still have a good time? ”

At the same time, Ai Luo ran to Zhang Linpeng's side and whispered: "Li Qinglong has received a yellow card now, and the next defense will definitely be restrained, and when Hao Junmin attracts the defensive attention of the driver Duri, you must be active and decisive to insert it, I believe that Li Qinglong will never dare to foul!" ”

※※※

Zhang Linpeng has always been obedient to the words of captain Iro, and the 2010-2011 season can quickly integrate into Chelsea, in addition to his strength, it is related to Iro's influence in Chelsea, so he has great respect for Iro, and Li Qinglong also has a beam with him, and he must do two things with one stone!

As the game entered half an hour, the smile on the face of South Korean head coach Zhao Guanglai became more obvious, and the live director also took advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball to switch the camera to his face, and the Korean commentator said knowingly: "It seems that the whole game is in the hands of Zhao seniors, if there is no accident, it must be our Republic of Korea who will finally advance to the finals!" ”

And the frown of Chinese head coach Gao Hongbo is becoming more and more obvious, it is very dangerous to be scoreless on the football field, and if you are not careful, it is very likely to be stolen by the other party.

Another five minutes passed in the game, and this time the Chinese team did not rush forward to attack, but patiently passed and received the ball in the midfield, and Gao Lin left the penalty area with the Chinese team's offensive changes and responded.

After more than ten consecutive passes, the formation of the South Korean team was compressed very tightly by the Chinese team, and the three lines that were very obvious before were compressed into two lines.

Zhao Guanglai's rich coaching experience was reflected at this time, and the intentions of the Chinese team could be seen at a glance.

But the game is going on fiercely, the players on the field have no extra mind to put on the sidelines, Zhao Guanglai, who is standing on the sidelines, has to wait for the dead ball, and then adjust the team's defense, he knows that if this formation is compressed, it will be very dangerous.

The football did not create enough threat after passing more than ten feet in a row, and soon handed it to the feet of Iroh, which is the usual offensive routine of the Chinese team.

The South Korean defenders understood that the defensive task of defending the right rib was completed by Park Ji-sung and Ji Chengyong, and the full-back and right central defender respectively prevented Ailo from making a two-way choice, which means that Ailo attracted four defenders of the Korean team when he got the ball.

Gao Lin, who pulled out of the penalty area, continued to retreat and brought out central defender Li Zhengxiu.

Without hesitation, Iroh passed the ball to Gao Lin, and then ran sideways, a typical wall-hitting coordination.

Even though Ji Chengyong, who was guarding near the middle, paid special attention to the connection between Ailuo and Gao Lin, he was helpless because of the tacit understanding between the two of them, and he couldn't stop breaking the ball.

Central defender Li Zhengxiu was even more afraid that Gao Lin would turn around directly with the ball, and he didn't dare to risk grabbing it at all.

At the same time, right winger Hao Junmin suddenly accelerated sideways in the corner of the box on the right side, and then tried to go around in front of Lee Young-pyo and behind central defender Lee Jung-so.
