The K-League is different from the Chinese Super League.

In the Chinese Super League and those leagues in Europe, the league champion is the league champion, there is nothing else to say. But South Korea's K-League is similar to the NBA in the United States, with regular season and play-offs. The regular season champion is just the regular season champion, not the K-League champion.

Generally, the K-League champion refers to the winner of the play-offs, that is, the overall champion of the league.

The teams that are able to participate in the play-offs are the top six teams in the regular season. The four teams from third to sixth play a knockout round, the winning team plays the knockout round, and then the winning team challenges the second team in the K League regular season.

The winner here will challenge for the K-League regular season champion.

FC Seoul is the regular season champion.

Therefore, Seoul FC, the champion of the regular season, has only one opponent in the play-offs. That's the final winner after their fight.

3 December 2008.

Seoul FC hosts Suwon Samsung.

Suwon Samsung finished second in the regular season, which is just that FC Seoul is too strong. According to its strength, Suwon Samsung is still a first-class strong team in the K League. In the play-offs, he was not afraid of any opponent and came to the final of the play-offs.

Old rivals, and bitter rivals.

Even though the K-League has a low status in South Korean sports, this match is the final of the Korean Football League after all. It has attracted the attention of major media and TV stations in South Korea. Unlike in the past, this game also attracted a lot of media attention in China.

These days, more and more students in South Korea come to the scene to cheer for Jin Ming.

This game is even more so.

Whether it is Seoul FC, Suwon Samsung, or even the Korean Football Association and the Korean local government, these people attach great importance to this group of Chinese fans. It's not that they like Chinese fans, it's that they have their own ideas.

There is really only one main reason.

Chinese economy.

The subprime mortgage crisis that began in the United States in '07 didn't pay much attention to it at first, or many people didn't think it was very serious. In 2007, the world economy was still very good, and it can be said that it was thriving. But no one expected that this subprime mortgage crisis would be so severe.

After 2008, the world economy immediately experienced major turmoil. Everyone understands that this subprime mortgage crisis is definitely not a small incident, and it has the potential to affect the world's economy.

South Korea is a small country and can only be dependent on some big countries.

After World War II, South Korea was the younger brother of the United States, and its economy and politics were dependent on the United States, and its development in those years was also very rapid. However, during the Asian financial crisis, South Korea was also hit hard.

At this time, it was an era of great economic development, and South Korea began to strengthen its ties with China.

At present, the relationship between China and South Korea in terms of economy is getting closer and closer, and it can even be said that South Korea is inseparable from China's big market and Chinese goods. This time, the subprime mortgage crisis had a relatively large impact on the United States, which immediately highlighted the position of China's economy in the world economy.

The influence of China and the United States on South Korea is also declining.

Although South Korea is still politically constrained by the United States, China has slowly replaced the United States in South Korea economically. Moreover, China's economic development is getting faster and faster, and no one can abandon China's big market.

Under such circumstances, those bigwigs in the South Korean business circles hope that the South Korean government will strengthen its relations with China.

They are also eyeing China's big market.

Therefore, they still attach great importance to Chinese fans' attention to the K League, although it is just to cheer for Jin Ming. Chinese have more and more spending power in South Korea, and even Jeju Island, South Korea's largest tourist destination, is difficult to find a job if you don't know some Chinese.

Because most of the people who travel to Jeju Island are Chinese.

So on the side of the Korean Football Association and Seoul FC, they are very generous. Because this is the final final, the tickets cannot be said to be as tight and tight as the World Cup finals and Champions League finals, but they are not easy to get.

But for Chinese students, they directly gave group tickets.

This group of international students received 4,000 tickets.

Very conspicuous.

The play-off finals are played in two rounds, home and away. This was the first game, but everyone was still very strict.

Jin Ming was also quite nervous.

The K League play-off final is not the same as the League Cup final played by Jin Ming. The League Cup final is the least expensive game in Korean football, while the K League play-off final is the grand final.

If you win this game, then you are the K-League champion.

This is the real final.

"Jin Ming, play well. There will definitely be some European scouts watching this game. ”

Jin Ming sounded what Wen Dongfang said to himself before the game. Of course, European scouts are paying attention to this game, and they definitely don't come for Jin Ming. It's because of Li Qinglong and Ji Chengyong.

The two of them played in the Beijing Olympics in August, and as soon as the Olympics ended, they were pulled into the national team by Xu Dingmao.

And Xu Dingmao is quite serious about the two of them.

Li Qinglong is only twenty years old, and Ji Chengyong is only nineteen years old. However, after Xu Dingmao announced that they had entered the national team, he immediately entrusted them with important responsibilities in the next games. The two of them have just entered the national team and have become the main players of the national team.

If Li Qinglong is a wide player and an attacking player, as long as he has enough talent, there is no problem in becoming the main force. But Ji Chengyong is only nineteen years old, and he still plays the core of the midfield, but he has become the core of the midfield in Xu Dingmao's national team.

After that, the Korean national team played several games, and both of them played very well.

Such a table immediately attracted some European scouts.

However, such an opportunity, Jin Ming can also take a free ride. After all, European scouts are concerned about Li Qinglong and Ji Chengyong, but if Jin Ming is outstanding, he can also attract their attention.

"Why, nervous."

Seeing Jin Ming inhaling and exhaling there, Ji Chengyong smiled and patted Jin Ming's shoulder.

"Sort of. Aren't you nervous? ”

"I'm a little bit too. But not much, Suwon Samsung is our defeat. ”

Listening to Ji Chengyong's answer, Jin Ming was speechless for a moment. Because Jin Ming spoke quietly, Ji Chengyong couldn't wait for everyone to hear it. Those international bigwigs of Suwon Samsung, looking at Ji Chengyong's gaze, immediately looked very bad.

Ji Sung-yong is a rising star in South Korean football, but he has risen quickly.

But even so, it shouldn't be so arrogant. Whether it is Korean football or other industries, they all have their own rules. But Ji Chengyong, who grew up in Australia, is completely different from those young players in South Korea. This made many veteran players dissatisfied with him.

Jin Ming shook his head.

I don't want to continue to talk to Ji Chengyong. Because Ji Chengyong, this kid doesn't understand the occasion at all. So he immediately turned his head, but found that someone was staring straight at him. So glanced at it to see who it was.

Zhao Yuanxi.

The one who looked straight at them was Zhao Yuanxi. Seeing Zhao Yuanxi, Jin Ming smiled at him.

However, seeing Jin Ming smiling at himself, Zhao Yuanxi was angry. Because in Zhao Yuanxi's eyes, Jin Ming's smile is ridicule. Cho Won-hee has been in the K League for many years, and he has not failed once or twice, nor has he been passed by someone once or twice.

But no one has left himself with a huge shame like Jin Ming.

Yes, it's a shame.

In the past two seasons, he has been humiliated by Jin Ming several times, which is a shame in Zhao Yuanxi's eyes, a shame that cannot be washed away.

Since Suwon Samsung met Seoul FC again, Zhao Yuanxi has been cheering himself in his heart, and he must make Jin Ming's little bad look. Jin Ming must not be given a chance this time.

Therefore, from the moment the players on both sides stood in the players' tunnel, he kept staring at Jin Ming.

Just now, if there was no one in Ji Chengyong's eyes, the other Suwon Samsung players were very angry, but Zhao Yuanxi went in the left ear and out the right ear. Because in his eyes, except for Jin Ming, no one else is in the scope of attention.

Now Jin Ming dares to laugh at himself, is it tolerable or unbearable.

Zhao Yuanxi kept calming himself down, but he got angry when he thought of Jin Ming's little mistake.

"Players from both sides started coming in. It was the final of the 2008 K-League play-offs, with Seoul FC and Suwon Samsung FC in the final. ”
