"Barwell, do you see it? The person who just came in with Jung Mong-joon is Roh Moo-hyun, Jung Mong-joon's collaborator in next year's general election. It is estimated that they will push Roh Moo-hyun as the representative and compete with the other candidate with the highest demand right now. ”

Rist didn't expect to meet Jung Mong-joon and Roh Moo-hyun here. It seems that the two of them have an agreement to cooperate in private, of course, both of them are at a disadvantage, and only cooperation can have a chance. Compared with Zheng Mengjun, who has been mixed in the football world, Roh Moo-hyun has a greater advantage. Back when South Korea was still in a dictatorship, Roh Moo-hyun was hailed as a "human rights lawyer" for fighting lawsuits against vulnerable groups. He has a high reputation in South Korean politics. In terms of their cooperation, Jung Mong-joon has money and the fame brought by this Shijie Cup, while Roh Moo-hyun has more stable support ratings.

"Play football, elect president. Hehe. ”

Merkley shook her head. He used to think that only Berlusconi was the only one who did this, but he didn't expect that there were people in South Korea who wanted to play this game. It's a real way to look at those crazy Korean fans on the pitch. With this Shijie Cup, Zheng Mengjun, who has not developed much in South Korean politics, suddenly has a large number of supporters.

"What, Barwell. Do you also want to take a detour and run for president in a few years? ”

The Czech Republic is also in the general election, and although Merkley is only the president of the Czech Football Association, she also has a political party. With their family's connections in Czech politics, it is not impossible for him to jump out of the Czech Football Association and enter Czech politics. And once he does well in the Czech Football Federation, it is not without chance to challenge the president with this.

"Haha. Rist. I don't have that kind of idea, I just want to do my own FA work honestly. That's not a normal job, President. ”

While the two were teasing each other, the following game began.

"This is the Gwangju Shijie Cup Stadium, and now it's the Shijie Cup quarterfinals. The two sides were the host South Korea and the Czech national team from Europe. South Korea beat Italy 2-1 in the quarter-finals, while the Czech Republic comfortably beat Ireland 3-0 to reach the quarter-finals of the Shijie Cup. ”

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides. First of all, look at the starting lineup of the host South Korean team, the goalkeeper is Lee Yun-jae, the backline is Choi Jin-chul, Hong Myung-bo, Kim Tae-young, the midfielders are Song Jong-guk, Yoo Sang-tie, Kim Nam-il, Lee Young-pyo, and the forwards are Park Ji-sung, Xue Ki-hyun, Ahn Jung-hwan. ”

"Let's look at the starting line-up of the Czech Republic. The goalkeeper is Peter. Cech. The backline is Jankulovski, Ujfarusi, Rozenar, Grigra. The midfielders are Nedved, Rosicky, Senna, Gilberto. Silva, Poboski, Jankoler up front. ”

"The referee's whistle remembered. The game is on, the game is on. Let's look forward to a good game. ”

The match was the first to kick off in the Czech Republic. For the Czech Republic, the South Korean team is very unfamiliar. And South Korea's elimination of Italy, albeit controversially. But for the Czech players. Since South Korea can enter the quarterfinals, it cannot be underestimated. And it's right to play steady in such an important game as the quarter-finals. So after kick-off. There was no rush to move forward, but on the contrary, it was passed backwards. As soon as the game began, the South Korean players immediately pounced forward.

"Senna, smash the ball and shake it off Xue Qixuan. Senna handed the ball to Rosicky. Rosicky got the ball. ”

"Bang!"

"Toot-"

As soon as Rosicky got the ball, he was directly knocked over by Liu Xiangtie who came up from behind, and the action was not very small. The referee simply blew for a foul and made no further moves. This is just the beginning. South Korean players can run, especially on their home turf. Not only are they able to run, but they also move very much. When grabbing the ball, they all rush over, either breaking the ball or knocking people down.

The Czech players are generally jishu and very good. Even the midfielder likes to defend Gilberto. Silva, in terms of basic skills and feet, is far better than South Korean players, and even better than many English players. However, after the start of the game, the South Korean players grabbed the ball like mad dogs, and the action was too big, which made the Czech midfielder a little flustered for a while.

"Shit."

Seeing such a situation above, Lister couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zheng Mengzhun in the other box. Zheng Mengzhun promised a fair game, but he still played a small trick. He won't be as blatant as he was against Italy, but the home advantage he deserves is still there. That's to make some big moves, but you won't be penalized by the referee.

"It's really going to take advantage of the home advantage."

Merkley also found out about the South Korean team's intentions, so a sneer appeared on her face. However, this level of home care is available to everyone, and neither Merkley nor Rist can say anything.

"It's a pity it won't work out."

Rist pouted. South Korea's physical strength may be really good, and their movements are not small. But the Czech players are definitely not really afraid of South Korea's style of play.

In the current Czech team, Rosicky, Poborski, and Jankulovski all play in the Bundesliga. And Senna and Gilberto. Silva and Ujfarusi have both worked out in the Premier League. As for Nedved, needless to say, he was kicked out of Serie A. The Bundesliga is known as a track and field arena, and the players who play there require absolute physical strength, from the beginning to the end. Needless to say in the Premier League, the most physically confrontational league in Shijie football, and actions that would blow into fouls in other leagues are not fouls in the Premier League.

South Korea's collision and running are not worse than in the Bundesliga and the Premier League. If the brutality of the Premier League is now far more than ten years later, the current fouls in the Premier League are unlicensed. This point Senna, Gilberto. Silva, Ujfarusi, they know very well. South Korea's style of play could have an impact on a team like Spain, but not so much for the Czech Republic.

Because the Czechs are not afraid of ramming. And in terms of control, South Korea is no match for the Czech Republic at all. The Czech Republic has a player who has a lot of control, and that is Senna, who is currently linking the front and back courts. Senna has excellent ball control, excellent fundamentals, and even better passing.

At first the Czech Republic was very uncomfortable. Because the South Korean players were too ferocious, the Czech side made frequent mistakes in passing. But after slowly getting used to South Korea's pressing, Jishu's advantage came out. After about fifteen minutes, the Czechs slowly controlled the tempo of the game.

"Uyi Farusi, Ahn Jung-hwan came up to interfere...... Senna came back to pick up and Ujfarusi handed the ball to Senna. Park Ji-sung came up, Senna smashed the ball, and Senna passed. ”

Ahn Jung-hwan, Park Ji-sung, and Xue Qi-hyun are actively running and pressing in the front court, but they are just pressing, and they are all average in terms of defensive ability. Senna's simple actions passed Park Ji-sung, but Park Ji-sung's biggest feature is that he can run and not give up. Although he was passed by Senna, he still followed Senna. Senna isn't very fast, so Park Ji-sung will soon have to keep up with him.

"Senna, the long pass was handed to Jankole...... Jankoller, header back to the spot. ”

Jankoller is a representative of high school strikers in European football, and he has a huge advantage against Asian teams. Hong Myung-bok is one of South Korea's best centre-backs, but he is already 33 years old and is only 1.82 meters tall. Therefore, on the high ball is not a match for Jankoller at all. Jankohler leaned in on Hong Mingfu and then accurately fed the ball back to Nedved, who cut in on the left.

"Nedved, Nedved went straight to the ball, he was going to be tougher than Cui Zhenzhe."

Nedved's pace can't be said to be outstanding, but it's not bad at all. He often had moments like that when he was at Lazio and Juventus. Instead of dribbling through the opponent like Poboski, he took the ball forward and then went with the opposition defender to grab the ball. Nedved's height is only 1.77 meters, but his physical fitness is not bad at all, otherwise he would not be known as the "Iron Man".

After taking the ball forward this time, Nedved went to grab the ball with Choi Jin-chul. Cui Zhenzhe's speed is not very slow, but when he grabbed the ball side by side with Nedved, Nedved used his body to squeeze Cui Zhenzhe away.

"Nedved, Nedved has got the ball. Choi Jin-chul has already followed, and Nedved smashes the ball...... Choi Jin-chul hooked Nedved, which was a foul ......"

Nedved is a Czech player, and Czech players are generally good. However, their jishu is not as gorgeous as South American, so it just looks unpretentious. This time, Nedved saw that Choi Jin-chul had been following up, so he dunked the ball back with his left foot, and Choi Jin-cheol hooked Nedved during the run.

If it was any other player, it would have gone straight down and asked for a penalty. But Nedved wasn't, and although he stumbled a little after the hook, he didn't lose his balance yet. So Nedved didn't go down, but just as he was about to lose his balance, he fired a straight shot with his right foot.

"Nedved, shoot! This ball...... The ball hit Hong Mingfu's leg and changed direction. ”

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Luck, luck. Nedved's choice was not smart in this ball, in fact, it was the smartest way to fall down at the moment of Choi Jin-chul's foul. However, it was a good luck and Nedved's shot was not dangerous except for Liliang because of the small angle. But it hit Hong Mingfu's leg in disguise, so Li Yunzai had no choice. It's a balloon. ”

"But anyway, it was a goal. Although I don't know if this ball should be counted on Nedved's body or Hong Mingfu's body. However, the Czechs took a 1-0 lead at the 21st minute of the first half. (To be continued......)
