South Korea, one of the Chinese team's arch-rivals, is also a team that has brought a lot of painful memories to Chinese fans. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe Chinese team and the South Korean team have played each other 32 times in history, and the Chinese team has 2 wins, 13 draws and 17 losses. The most recent victory was when Gao Hongbo led the team to the East Asian semi-finals for the first time, defeating the South Korean team 3-0, which was not the main team at the time, breaking the long-standing Koreanophobia. At that time, this game was hailed as the first battle to break South Korea, but in the past few years, we found that the gap between us and our neighbor South Korean team has become wider and wider, and the first game of South Korea can only become a joke for fans after dinner. The nature of the round of 12 is different, and the South Korean team will definitely play the main team. South Korea has a large number of players who play overseas, the most famous of which is Son Heung-min, who now plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and then Ki Seong-yong, the captain of the Premier League team Swansea, these excellent overseas players make up most of the main positions of the South Korean team. On the other hand, the Chinese team only has two players who play in the five major leagues, these two are Liu Xin and Liu Heng, followed by Zhang Yuning, who plays for Vitesse in the Eredivisie. The rest of the squad is playing in the Chinese Super League. The comprehensive strength of the Chinese team is far inferior to that of the South Korean team. The Chinese team went to South Korea for this battle, and the road was long and dangerous. The 23-man squad of the Chinese team is like this goalkeepers Liu Xin, Zeng Cheng and Wang Dalei. Defenders Zhang Chengdong, Zhao Mingjian, Wang Tong, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Li Xuepeng, Ren Hang. Midfielders Wu Xi, Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Cai Huikang, Yu Hanchao, Hu Rentian, Jiang Ning, Wu Lei, Yu Hai. Forward Yang Xu, Gao Lin, Zhang Yuning, Liu Heng.

The Chinese team arrived in Seoul, South Korea on the 29th, and then rushed to the stadium to prepare for training. But when I arrived at the stadium, I was told that the stadium was being protected and that training could not be carried out. The Chinese team understands that this is a special treatment. The Chinese team had no choice but to return to the hotel for a simple physical training session in the hotel's gym. Although China and South Korea were underdogs at national team level, at club level, China were not lagging behind, with Shanghai SIPG beating South Korea's Jeonbuk Hyundai 1-0 at home in the first leg of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals at the end of August. Shandong Luneng drew 1-1 away with Seoul FC, which had bloodied itself in the group stage. These two games can be regarded as adding a lot of confidence to the players of the Chinese team. Liu Heng doesn't have much impression of the South Korean team, and his only impression is only the unique World Cup in 2002. For Liu Xin, the South Korean team is already an old rival. He will meet the South Korean team in the national youth and national Olympic games, and of course he has no wins. He really felt the gap between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, but he also understood that when the South Korean team was not strong enough to be defeated, as long as the team tried its best, the South Korean team could also be defeated, and now Liu Heng was already in the team, which also added more important winning weight to Liu Xin's heart.

The Chinese team finally started normal training on the 30th, and the head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, specially practiced the set-piece tactics, Gao Hongbo hoped that the Chinese team could use the set-piece opportunity to break through the door of the South Korean team when the situation could not be opened. Liu Heng was also placed in the main lineup by Gao Hongbo, and he had great hopes for Liu Heng, and he hoped to use Liu Heng's technology to help the Chinese team achieve a greater advantage. But judging from today's training, the quality of the Chinese team's shots is still as pitiful as ever, and Liu Heng is also a little surprised by this. At the end of the morning training, the Chinese team carried out a small range of counter-robbing and short passing. The Korean team is known for its tenacious spirit and outstanding physical strength. Their foot skills are not as skilled as those of the Japanese team, but they make up for it with their ability to run endlessly. Therefore, this is something that China should pay special attention to.

The Chinese team met many Chinese living in South Korea around the training ground during these two days, and they all came to cheer for the Chinese team. They hope that the Chinese team can beat the South Korean team. Among them, the most popular among fans are undoubtedly the Roma twin stars Liu Heng and Liu Xin. Liu Heng also felt the enthusiasm of the fans of the Chinese team for the first time, he enjoyed this enthusiasm very much, and he also brought this enthusiasm to tomorrow's game, he wants to fight for China, he wants to fight for the fans, and he wants to fight for Brother Axian.

The pre-match press conference of the Chinese team and the South Korean team was held as scheduled. The head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, took Liu Heng to attend the press conference, and the South Korean team Sprik took Sun Xingmin to attend the press conference.

Q&A session with journalists.

A South Korean reporter asked Liu Heng a question: "What do you think of the Chinese team's "Koreanophobia" against the South Korean team, as far as I know, the fans in China are not optimistic about this game, do you have the confidence to beat this South Korean team." ”

Liu Heng didn't think too much about it, and said: "First of all, I don't have Koreanophobia, I am the same for all teams. Our Chinese team also does not have Koreanophobia. South Korea are not invincible, they are also playing with 11 men, and when they get to the court, they play hard. I don't have the feeling of losing when I play, I just win. So is our Chinese team. ”

The Chinese reporters off the field also felt Liu Heng's innate domineering for the first time, and praised Liu Heng, a Chinese teenager, for his different self-confidence from other Chinese players.

A Chinese reporter asked Sun Xingmin: "What do you think of the Chinese team, and Liu Heng." “

Sun Xingmin thought for a while and said: "The Chinese team is a very good team, and we will do our best to defeat the Chinese team." Liu Heng is a very talented player, I have watched his games, and I am looking forward to tomorrow against him. “

On September 1st, the time to come is finally coming. Seoul Stadium, this venue has too many memories of the Chinese team. The 2002 World Cup match between China and Turkey was played on this field. As for the clubs, there have been a number of games played at this venue, most recently last month when Shandong Luneng held Seoul FC to a draw.

In the locker room of the Chinese team, the atmosphere was very high. Gao Hongbo signaled his teammates to maintain a high level of attention, not to let the South Korean team find opportunities in the middle and the ribs on both sides, and to defend well and counterattack.

"Come on, Liu Heng, you take the ball more in the middle to attract the opposing defenders, and then distribute the ball to the side, if they don't defend, cross to find the center, and if the defense passes back to Liu Heng." Gao Hongbo carefully instructed the team members again. In Gao Hongbo's heart, this 18-year-old player is already the core of the future Chinese team. This kid has a bright future.
