Chapter 134: Ending Koreanophobia (Part I)

What makes Gao Jun and the other boys all have high morale is that the old enemy South Korean team can only rank second in the group after Saudi Arabia because of the goal difference, and they have become the first opponent of the Chinese team in the knockout stage, and the dark history of nearly 30 years of "Koreanophobia" has finally come to an end!

Although China actually sent the national Olympic team this time, the real strength of the Chinese Olympic team, which can be called the strongest in history, may not be much inferior to the national football team, and the oriental players have swept the South Korean team in the AFC Champions League, so everyone is full of confidence in the shame of the first game.

Although the South Korean media continue to turn out the history of the South Korean national team that has not lost to the Chinese team for nearly 30 years to cheer up the team, the South Korean team is generally bottomless, and others are okay, but Gao Jun and other five players of the Dresden Dynamo team make them extremely jealous, not to mention Gao Jun, who has just made history in the Bundesliga and is called "Che Fangen No. 2" by the South Koreans. However, the result of focusing on these two is that they are somewhat unaware of the rest of the Chinese team

Although "Koreanophobia" was originally completely maliciously hyped up by media reporters, but over the years, it has gradually formed a shadow over the heads of Chinese international players, and some of the national Olympic team members on the field are afraid of it, and some people are eager to win, which is not conducive to their performance in the game, but fortunately, not everyone can't let go

Although the Chinese team is recognized as stronger, in the first ten minutes of the game, it was the South Korean team that dominated the field. Fortunately, the South Korean team has never been good at positional battles, and a very threatening set-piece attack was also saved by the Chinese goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, who was in good form, and in the end it was only thrilling. However, such a performance of the Chinese team still caused anxiety among Chinese fans in the stands. The cheers became louder and louder,

It is said that there is an advantage to this game being held in Malaysia, there are a lot of overseas Chinese here, and most of the stadium stands are cheering for the Chinese team, which is no different from the home game, but on the other hand. The psychological pressure of some players in the Chinese team has become greater as a result

After Gao Jun noticed the problem on the field, he immediately frowned, and Crouchen, who was on the sidelines, also looked at the bench and was about to make adjustments, but what they didn't expect was that the Chinese team, which was not good, actually scored first

After discovering that the Chinese team was not as good as they had originally thought, the South Koreans were obviously emboldened, and they actively pressed in the midfield to try to score as much as possible. Then the game will enter the Korean team's favorite anti-counter rhythm. But just when the South Korean team was about to play a quick counterattack after the midfielder broke the ball, the Chinese team's defender Yang Hao actively counter-grabbed the ball and immediately handed the ball to the left-back Rong Hao, who had already started, without delay.

After Rong Hao got the ball, he did not pass the ball straight to Lu Lin, a bantam tiger who reached out for the ball in front of him, but there were Korean players approaching, but passed the ball to Deng Zhuoxiang, who retreated to the top of the arc in the middle circle at this time, and at the same time began to accelerate forward. The tacit understanding formed between the two for more than ten years is really not simple, Deng Zhuoxiang, who has his back to the direction of the South Korean team's goal, received the ball and passed directly back to the left side without adjustment, and the amount of advance was just enough for Rong Hao, who accelerated forward, to receive it, and the latter received the ball and sent it forward. directly got rid of the guy who left Lu Lin to defend himself, and rushed directly to the bottom line of the South Korean team like a hurricane.

Due to the containment of Gao Jun and Xue Lin. The South Korean team's back line couldn't draw people to make up for it for a while, and because Rong Hao was too fast with the ball, the guy who was divided by his ball didn't have time to catch up with him after turning around, so Rong Hao was able to send a cross comfortably in an unguarded state.

At this time, the South Koreans were keeping a close eye on Gao Jun and Gao Lin, and the other two Chinese players who had entered the penalty area, Hao Junmin and Deng Zhuoxiang, were not good at headers, and it seemed that Rong Hao's cross did not pose any threat at all. However. Just after Rong Hao passed the ball out, a tall figure rushed into the South Korean team's penalty area like a heavy truck running on the highway!

Rong Hao crossed, Yu Hai in the middle inserted a high jumping head, and the ball went in! The header was powerful and had a change of direction after bouncing off the ground. Li Yun has no way, the Chinese team is 1:0! Get a head start on this game! CCTV's commentator He Wei exclaimed excitedly.

Xu Yang, who was a guest commentator, also praised, "Although Yu Hai changed to play central defender, there is still an incomparable tacit understanding between him and Rong Hao, the former golden partner, and Rong Hao's cross is just like a calculation, just enough to make Yu Hai, who is inserted in the back, completely top the power"

In order to avoid attracting unnecessary pressure from public opinion, Krauchen has not disclosed his true positioning of Yu Hai to the public, only saying that he is a central defender. But as a Dutch coach and the head coach of the South Korean team, Pym. Welbeck still saw the subtlety at a glance, "Free man, this is a free man tactic?" I can't imagine that the German head coach of the Chinese team dares to use the retro tactic of the free man, isn't he afraid that the huge rear air defense left by the free man after the attack will be used by us? ”

On the sidelines, Crouchen applauded Yu Hai's excellent performance, and at the same time encouraged the players on the field that the goal came too timely, and the players who were nervous or overexcited should be able to return to their normal game conditions in the future, so that the Korean team has nothing to fear

In the previous ten minutes, although the fans of the Chinese team in the stands were also trying their best to cheer for the boys of the National Olympic team, because the Chinese team on the field was not good, everyone's enthusiasm was obviously insufficient, so the cheering sound inevitably sounded a little strong and competent. But Yu Hai's goal immediately aroused the passion of the Chinese fans in the stadium, and the sound that broke out in an instant suddenly enveloped the entire stadium, even compared with the domestic home stadium, it was not inferior. With the cheering and encouragement of the fans, the fully restored Chinese team quickly regained the initiative in the game, and the situation of being pressed and beaten by the South Korean team at the beginning of the game is gone forever

However, on the sidelines of the South Korean team head coach Pym. Welbeck was not in a hurry at all after seeing his team's passive situation, because neither the South Korean team nor he himself was good at positional attack, and now he was controlled by the Chinese team in the midfield, which was conducive to playing its defensive solidity and sharp counterattack.

As an experienced German coach, Krauchen is also familiar with the Korean team's style of play, which is similar to that of the old German team. But he knew that it was more advantageous to play defense after taking the lead, but he did not discourage the boys' desire to attack, because they were still very young, and over-suppressing their nature was not conducive to growth. The results of the Asian Cup are important, but the real battle of this national Olympic team is the Olympic Games next year, compared to the Asian Cup champion, Krauchen hopes that the boys can grow further in this year's time, not to mention that out of the understanding of the strength of these disciples, even if it is a positive offensive tactic, the Chinese team's chances of winning are not small

In the 18th minute, Yu Hai stepped forward to participate in the attack There was a fatal passing error, the South Korean team's counterattack was very decisive, and the ball entered the Chinese team's half in less than three seconds, but after Yu Hai stepped forward, Yang Hao, the back for his fill-in, made a key tactical foul, and at the cost of a yellow card, the South Korean team's threatening rapid counterattack came to an abrupt end. Yu Hai, who was scared out of a cold sweat, returned to the backcourt and patted Yang Hao on the shoulder, thanked him, and at the same time looked at the head coach Krauchen on the sidelines a little uneasily, worried about being scolded by him, but when he saw the old German man using his gesture to signal that he was relieved to play freely and boldly, his heart suddenly became hot, and his fighting spirit became more and more high

However, the previous fatal mistake still made Yu Hai obviously more cautious, but he was more active and brave in defense, and Yu Hai's physique, which was now finally fully grown, helped him a lot

Because Yu Hai was completely idle after Magath left Bayern, he didn't even have to play the game of the second team, and he devoted all his free time to physical training, even harder than when Magath was there, and completely controlled his mouth, and strictly followed the plan that Gao Jun asked Xia Chuan to make for him in his meal. Now Yu Hai's weight has increased to an astonishing 88 kilograms, and the fat content is extremely low, but at the age of 20, he has reached the most suitable physique, and the height that finally stopped growing has finally been fixed at about 1.90 meters. Even if Yu Hai's muscle type and body shape are not as superior as Yu Lin, but after practicing Cheng DΓΉ like this, his physique is still quite good, and he can take advantage of it in the Asian arena, and the physical confrontation ability of Korean players can be regarded as the middle and upper level in Asia, but no one can take advantage of Yu Hai one-on-one, whether it is offensive or defensive

Seeing Yu Hai's increasingly excellent table on the field, the head coach of the South Korean team, Pym. Welbeck's face gradually became solemn, "I see, physically, technically, and consciously, and both offensive and defensive, and the habit of playing football, it is said that he is still a generalist, such a player is simply a natural free man, at least in the low level of Asian football." And even if he leaves a gap after he inserts forward, his teammates who cooperate with him will fill him in time, at least he can buy time to wait for him to return to defense, and it will be even more difficult to catch it" (to be continued......
