Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great War between China and South Korea
The South Korean team kicked off in the middle circle, although the South Korean team was one goal behind, but it was still not impatient on the field, controlled the ball steadily, and used the passing control to find opportunities on the field. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info South Korean team head coach Sprick is also very clear that as long as Liu Heng's play is contained, the Chinese team is basically on the edge of the cliff. And the way to deal with Liu Heng is the way to deal with Messi, the king of football in the world today, zone defense and fierce steals. zone defense, compressing Liu Heng's activity space; The second is a ferocious steal, blocking Liu Heng's forward route and passing action, and the ball passes people. In the past five minutes, the players of the South Korean team have implemented this tactic very well, and Liu Heng basically fell to the ground as soon as he got the ball. Liu Heng put pressure on the referee and complained about the rude foul of the Korean player, but the referee only gave Han Rong a yellow card. Liu Heng's dumb fire on the court was expected by Gao Hongbo before the game. At this time, the core of the Chinese team shifted to another person on the field who could control the ball. This person is Hao Junmin. Hao Junmin is a rare organizational core in China, and when all important positions in the Chinese Super League are occupied by sky-high foreign aids, such players are already valuable. The Super League, which is full of sky-high foreign aid, now I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Gao Hongbo took advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball and called Liu Heng to the front to teach the opportunity.
"Xiao Heng, you don't want to control the ball, use your awareness and skills more to run without the ball in the front court and open the defense of the South Korean team."
After listening to Gao Hongbo's words, Liu Heng nodded.
The game restarted, and just now it was the captain of the South Korean team, Qi Chengyong, who knocked down Liu Heng. Feng Xiaoting takes a free-kick in the Chinese half. He didn't choose a long pass, but a short pass to Zhao Mingjian on the right. Zhao Mingjian took the ball through the half court and passed the ball to Wu Lei, who came to answer, at this time Wu Lei and Yu Hai changed positions. Wu Lei did not choose to break forward, but crossed the ball to Cai Huikang. At this time, the Korean team was very close, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it. The Chinese team had to fall on the periphery, and Liu Heng did not appear in his position in the middle at this time, but cruising behind the striker, and he now raised his position to the front and became a shadow striker. Hao Junmin got the ball at this time, and Han Rong stepped forward to interfere but was unsuccessful, but was erased by Hao Junmin using his speed. But Hao Junmin passed a Korean player and another Korean player was waiting for him, and the Korean captain Qi Chengyong and the core of the front court Gu Zizhe formed a siege for him. Hao Junmin unhurriedly protected the ball and distributed the ball to the foot of Yu Hai on the left. Yu Hai won the ball and dribbled along the left sideline, when he suddenly made a sharp stop and passed a cross. Yu Hai was in a hurry. Kim Tae-hui had already predicted that the ball would appear in his control and was ready to clear it with a header. The ball was getting closer and closer, Guo Taihui jumped up and was about to clear the siege, and suddenly he saw a figure flash next to him, so fast that he couldn't see who it was, he only felt a gust of wind passing by. Liu Heng!! Liu Heng found the right time, and then plugged in and competed with Guo Taihui for the top spot. Guo Taihui is 185 cm tall. Liu Heng is 178 cm tall, and his height has an obvious disadvantage, but Liu Heng snatched this landing point from Guo Taihui's head with his bouncing advantage. Liu Heng scored with a header!! The ball flew out of the bottom line slightly against the post!! Did Kwak Taihui think about that game 6 years ago? In that game six years ago, it was its clearance mistake that created China's second goal. Will the scene be repeated today?
Liu Heng's header shocked the head coach of the South Korean team, Splik, in a cold sweat. He found that the young Chinese teenager could not stop him no matter what he did. And the background emperor Guo Taihui was also shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't want to make a big mistake in front of the home fans. But he really couldn't stop Liu Heng, Liu Heng was a little faster than him every time, and it was that little bit that made him lose his defensive position. South Korea's head coach Sprick slowly lost his seat. He stood on the sidelines and loudly signaled the South Korean players to open up the formation and give full play to the advantages of the two wings. But judging from the 40 minutes of the first half, the two star wings did not have a particularly outstanding performance, basically disappeared in the Chinese team's backline, and the star player he expected Sun Xingmin was also not active in running, and he looked isolated on the field. With less than 10 minutes of stoppage time left in the first half, South Korea will be hoping to equalise before half-time. This will make their tactical set-up in the second half look easier.
There was no danger in taking a corner kick from Hao Junmin, who was cleared out of the box by South Korean centre-back Kim Young-kwon. The second landing point is still controlled by the Chinese team. Cai Huikang got the ball, and he was ready to pass it to Zhao Mingjian, who had been inserted on the side. But it backfired, Cai Huikang's passing power was small, and he was easily stealed by the captain of the South Korean team next to him, Qi Chengyong. It was a good opportunity for South Korea to counter-attack quickly. All three of South Korea's frontcourt are there. Qi Chengyong immediately made a long pass to find Sun Xingmin, who was already in an empty position on the left. Sun Xingmin unloaded the ball perfectly, ready to look at the penalty area to break through, he slowly rushed forward, Feng Xiaoting in front of him was defending, Sun Xingmin suddenly accelerated and continued to rush to the left side of the penalty area, Feng Xiaoting was caught off guard, and hurriedly turned around and prepared to chase Sun Xingmin. But Son Heung-min suddenly stopped at this time to send the ball to his right foot and changed to the edge of the penalty area. This change in rhythm shook Feng Xiaoting. By the time Feng Xiaoting turned around, Sun Xingmin had already pulled him half a position. Son Heung-min got the chance to shoot, but he wanted to face the goalkeeper directly. Son Xingmin and Liu Xin were already old rivals when they were in the Bundesliga. Their one-on-one battles are already countless. Sun Xingmin had strong confidence at this time to be able to shake Liu Xin and complete the goal.
Sun Xingmin was the only one left in front of him. Zhang Linpeng, another central defender of the Chinese team, lost his position because of the defense of Gu Zizhe, and it is too late to fill the position.
Liu Xin's heart was extremely calm at this time, he did not attack rashly, but quickly recalled Sun Xingmin's previous single-knife habits in his mind. Son Heung-min has reached the small penalty area line, and Son Heung-min is ready to kick the goal!! Sun Xingmin is betting that Liu Xin will definitely attack!! Sun Xingmin bet right!! Liu Xin really pounced on him at this time. Sun Xingmin was secretly proud in his heart, as long as Liu Xin was lying on the ground, he could easily shake Liu Xin and break the door. But Sun Xingmin's wishful thinking was a little wrong. Liu Xin squatted and pounced on him quickly. He leaned back with his hands to seal the top corner of the left side of the goal and the far corner of the goal, while his crouching body prevented Son Heung-min from getting the ball through. Liu Xin perfectly blocked Sun Xingmin's shooting angle, and the two of them were getting closer and closer. Sun Xingmin was already a little hesitant when he saw this, looking at Shi Xuanjun, who had been outflanked in the middle, but Sun Xingmin still immediately started to shoot. Sun Xingmin's shot rushed straight to Liu Xin, Liu Xin lowered his center of gravity and struggled to block the ball from the bottom line with both palms. After Liu Xin made the save, he got up and roared in the direction of Sun Xingmin, he was telling Sun Xingmin who was the winner of this duel. Shi Hyun-joon in the middle complained that Son Heung-min didn't pass the ball to him.
"Liu Xin came out, Sun Xingmin dribbled a little too much, Sun Xingmin shot!! Liu Xin!! Liu Xin once again denied South Korea's shot. Liu Xin, once again made meritorious service!! He is worthy of China's No. 1 goalkeeper!! Liu Xin saved the Chinese team again!!" It was the hoarse voice of excitement from the Chinese commentary booth, corresponding to the lonely Korean fans in the audience.
Sun Xingmin covered his face with his hands and left the gate of the Chinese team in annoyance. South Korea's head coach Sprick looked at this single knife with hope, but in exchange for anger. He slammed the water bottle in his hand to the ground. The corner kick of the South Korean team was cleared by the Chinese team. The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The Chinese team temporarily led the South Korean team 1-0. This was probably something that no one expected before the game. But that's the beauty of football. You never know what's going to happen in the next second.
