Chapter 30: The Great War between China and Korea (Savior)
The dressing room atmosphere for both teams is simply two extremes. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese team is full of lightness, and the South Korean team is full of depression. But that doesn't mean the atmosphere between the two teams is still the same after the game. Gao Hongbo instructed everyone to continue to maintain a defensive counterattack style, concentrate on it, and reduce their own mistakes. The head coach of the South Korean team, Splick, turned on the hair dryer mode, trying to wake up the dizzy South Korean players and let them know that the Chinese team is not a point boy.
The 15-minute break tends to pass quickly. As the second half was about to begin, the Chinese team did not make personnel changes, but the South Korean team made two personnel changes. Li Qinglong replaced Ji Dongwon, who did not perform well in the first half. Yoon Bigaran, the "former star of South Korea's hope" who plays for the Yanbian Changbaishan Club of the Chinese Super League, replaced Gu Zizhe, who was basically invisible in the first half. The German coach Splick made two changes in a row, obviously unhappy with his attacking line. But what people didn't expect was that they didn't replace Son Heung-min, who lost a single knife in the first half. Perhaps Splick wanted him to explode in this pressure.
At the start of the second half, South Korean fans also seemed to come out of their frustration and began to shout with the unique cry of Red Devils fans. The South Korean team kicked off, and central defender Kim Young-kwan directly looked for high school striker Shi Hyun-jun, but was pushed to the first point by Feng Xiaoting behind him. South Korea's Yoon Bigaran got the ball and held it near midfield for a passing opportunity. The Chinese team did not rush up and maintained a tight position. Yin Bigaran passed the ball back to captain Qi Chengyong. Qi Chengyong made a long pass to find the new Li Qinglong, but Li Qinglong stopped the ball out of bounds. Li Qinglong, who had just come on the court, obviously hadn't adjusted his body yet, and waved his hand to Qi Chengyong. The 10 minutes of the second half were spent in long passes to each other. Both sides seem to have abandoned the first half of the game and switched to a simple and rough type. Gao Hongbo signaled the players to slow down, but the back line did not dare to take the ball under the interference of the South Korean striker, so he had to kick forward. Gao Hongbo took advantage of the South Korean team's goal kick to make the first substitution of the game. He replaced Cai Huikang with Huang Bowen, and Gao Hongbo wanted to control the midfield. Huang Bowen is very familiar with South Korea, he played for South Korea's Jeonbuk Hyundai team before going to Evergrande, and performed well in Jeonbuk Hyundai. Gao Hongbo sent him on the court to take advantage of this, to familiarize himself with the rhythm of the Korean team, to stabilize his rhythm.
After Huang Bowen came on the field, the Chinese team really slowly regained possession, Huang Bowen used his physical advantage to desperately force the opponent and make them uncomfortable to take the ball. The South Koreans had to respond to the sudden rush of the Chinese team by running without the ball and passing the ball with one foot.
The game came to the 53rd minute. Gao Hongbo signaled his players not to press forward and the defense line was retracted, but his tactical change was too late. Goals often come from this moment. South Korea were in possession of the ball and suddenly took advantage of the change in tempo to quickly push into the box. Shi Hyun-jun used his body to protect the ball and gave it back to Son Heung-min next to him. Sun Xingmin calmly shook Huang Bowen who came to block, shot with his right foot, and Sun Xingmin made a curling ball and hung it in the upper right corner of the goal. Liu Xin has already tried his best to save, but he is helpless, the angle is too tricky. South Korea's goals came from their own control of the field. The Chinese team cannot continue this kind of pressure, and once there is a time to relax, it is when the South Korean team scores. For the goal just now, all the attention was on Shi Hyun-jun, ignoring Son Heung-min and Lee Qing-long on the line of the big penalty area. South Korea finally equalised in the 53rd minute. The Seoul Stadium reached its climax with this goal for the first time, and the sound of celebration was deafening.
Son Heung-min was excited to score a goal, and he interacted intimately with the South Korean fans in the stadium, encouraging everyone to cheer them on with greater enthusiasm.
The Chinese team kicked off in the middle circle, Liu Heng passed the ball to Hao Junmin, Hao Junmin looked for Zhang Yuning with his big foot, the ball was pushed back by Qi Chengyong, Yin Bigaran received Qi Chengyong's top ball, and then began to rush forward with the ball, and the surrounding Chinese players stepped forward to force it, but it was like going through the motions, Yin Bigalan easily wiped it over. Yin Bigaran had already dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and was knocked to the ground by Liu Heng, who was driven back from the front court. The referee awarded a free kick and gave Liu Heng a yellow card.
Yoon Bigalan took the free kick, but Yoon Bigalan did not help to run, and raised his foot to shoot. The South Korean team overtook the score, an absolute dead end!! Nice curved !! Yin Bigaran scored a goal, Liu Xin had already pounced on the goal and did not block the ball into the net. Yoon Bigaran ran with his hands outstretched with joy, enjoying the cheers of the fans. Behind him were the Chinese players with their heads bowed. Liu Xin was also helpless to fish out the ball from the goal again.
The South Korean team scored two goals in three minutes, completely blinding the Chinese team. Once again, the Chinese team experienced three black minutes!! Liu Heng looked at everything on this helplessly, he and the Chinese team still need to run in and be familiar with each other. Liu Heng is now at the same point as the rhythm of the Chinese team. He can only rely on his personal skills to help the Chinese team on the field, and such a force can be managed in front of South Korea for a while, and he can't control it for a lifetime.
South Korea's head coach Sprick excitedly hugged and celebrated with his assistant on the sidelines after seeing Yoon Bigaran score the winning free-kick, and his two substitutions worked wonders and made decisive changes.
Yin Bigaran's goal completely shattered the self-confidence of the Chinese team, and fans across the country seemed to have begun to see the familiar Chinese team again. Through this period of time, they realized that one Liu Heng could not change the Chinese team at all. The joy of the first half paralyzed their ability to think, but the Chinese team was too fast, and they once again experienced a rollercoaster of excitement to loneliness.
Liu Heng applauded himself in the center circle, and he can be regarded as applauding his Chinese teammates. There is still half an hour left in the game, leaving enough time for Liu Heng and the Chinese team behind him.
The game restarted, but Liu Heng could no longer do anything. The South Korean team was firmly in control of the ball, while the Chinese team was powerless at this time, the defense staggered, and the attack was sloppy. Gao Hongbo also made a second personnel adjustment at this time, replacing Zhang Yuning, who was physically exhausted, with Gao Lin. He hopes to have a center forward who can control the ball and share the ball in the front court to cooperate with Liu Heng. And this person is undoubtedly Gao Lin.
After Gao Lin came on the field, the South Korean team's defense deliberately leaned back, they knew Gao Lin's strength, and Guo Taihui had experienced it personally. He personally watched Gao Lin and prepared to be ashamed.
In the 75th minute of the game, the Chinese team had a rare opportunity to advance with the ball, and Liu Heng withdrew to the midfield to take the ball to organize the attack. Liu Heng observed the running positions of the Chinese players around him, but he didn't have a good chance, so he had to continue to push forward by himself. At this time, the South Korean players were no longer engaged in pressing tactics, but relied on their overall defensive position to contain all the attacks of the Chinese team. Liu Heng had already advanced the ball to the left side of South Korea's big penalty area, but there was still no one to mark him closely. He decided to try his luck with a long-range shot. He took out an outside instep shot with his left foot, and the ball had a clear change of direction in the air, but Kim Jin-hyun stood in the near corner, sealed the far corner, and the ball finally flew straight to the far corner, and Kim Jin-hyun concentrated on making a save, saving the ball off the line. It was the first corner of the second half for China.
Hao Junmin takes the corner. The corner kick was driven into the penalty area, Gao Lin grabbed the first point and headed the goal!! It's a pity that the top is high.
The South Korean team did not rush to attack during the period after the goal kick was released, they wanted to use the ball control tactics to consume China's physical strength and willpower to maintain their 2-1 score. They are indeed moving slowly in this direction now, and the players of the Chinese team on the field are already a little unintentional, not active in fighting, not active in running, and all kinds of negativity have been shown on the field. This is similar to the Chinese team in the first half.
The game has now reached 90 minutes, and the last fifteen minutes have been consumed under the control of the Korean team. There really isn't much time left for the Chinese team! Liu Heng just shot a long shot again, and the ball touched Qi Chengyong's leg out of the bottom line, which was the only chance for the Chinese team. The goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Liu Xin, has also come to the South Korean team's penalty area, ready to fight to the death. This time, the corner kick was replaced by Liu Henglai.
Liu Heng sent a corner kick, and a rainbow-like arc passed through the crowd to the back point, and the rainbow found Liu Xin at the back point. Liu Xin jumped high and fought for the first point with Shi Xuanjun, who was defending him, Liu Heng grabbed the first point, and the header was ferried back to the small penalty area of the South Korean team, and the small penalty area of the Korean team was full of people, Wu Lei quickly turned sideways and shot the ball to the goal!! Are you going to enter!! Yes!! Kim Jin-hyun barely managed to make a sideways pounce, and the ball changed direction and hit the post before bouncing back into the box. Guo Taihui's big feet are cleared, my God, Guo Taihui's big feet are completely empty. His move also shook off the South Korean captain Qi Chengyong next to him. The ball is still in mid-air, who will grab this. Time seems to be imprisoned, Liu Heng watched all this near the penalty line, he couldn't help the Chinese team anymore!!
The ball went in!!!! China equalised in stoppage time!!!!! The equalizer for China was goalkeeper Liu Xin!! Incredible goal!! Incredible savior!!!
Time back to the first thirty seconds, the ball landed without any interference and bounced again, Guo Taihui was ready to clear again, at this time, a foot flashed out from behind him, kicked the ball hard, he turned around, and found that it was the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Liu Xin. A goalkeeper made a volley, which is a bit unimaginable to say. The movements are stretched and the strength is perfect. This time, no one could stop the ball from entering the door of the Korean team!!
Liu Xin couldn't help but celebrate, he took off his jersey, and there was still the vest inside, which said Liu Hengxian's vest. At this moment, Liu Hengxian was with him!! All the players pressed on top of Liu Xin and vented their emotions.
Gao Hongbo was also happy to hug everyone off the field, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably. The mood of the Chinese players has once again reached the peak of joy. South Korea held the ball for 30 minutes with ease, only to lose to a goalkeeper in a chaotic corner. The South Korean team also paid the price for their conservatism. The South Korean team on the field couldn't believe their eyes and walked off the court lonely. South Korea's head coach Splik's face has also been extremely bad.
The ball goes in and the game ends. The Chinese team scored a magical equalizer in stoppage time at the end, allowing the South Korean team to also experience the feeling of black stoppage time!!
At this time, all the Chinese fans present were already crying, although the Chinese team was passive throughout the game, but some players did not give up, so they pulled China back from the edge of the cliff and scored a valuable point in the away game.
