Park Joo-young's heart was in turmoil.
In the 13th minute of the game, after he took the initiative to avoid Liu Yi in a 55-open scramble, not only the coaching staff of the South Korean team, the players, but even the Korean audience in the stands and in front of the TV discovered a fact: Park Joo-young is very afraid of Liu Yi and Qin Xiong!
Park Joo-young was in very poor form from the first minute of the game, and the center forward himself was operating in a dense area, and it was inevitable that he would be caught in the middle of the box, and if he did not have the courage to fight his way out of the encirclement, then this center forward would never come out.
Others don't understand what Park Joo-young is afraid of, and he looks and thinks like two people.
But Liu Yi and Qin Xiong understood in their hearts, but they were just not interested in thinking about those boring things.
Park Joo-young ran in front of the penalty area looking for opportunities, but he felt that his game rhythm had been thrown out of order, and his attention was drawn to Liu Yi and Qin Xiong from time to time.
He kept replaying a game from more than two years ago in his head.
He can be said to be the best player in this age group, ambitious and arrogant, when a Chinese team of the same age group came to South Korea to play a friendly match, he was confident, and it should be easy to lead the South Korean team to abuse the Chinese team.
But that game became his nightmare.
Qin Xiong and Liu Yi's double midfield not only perfectly controlled the midfield at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Liu Yi's defense made Park Joo-yong almost disappear, and almost injured Park Joo-yong in the confrontation, while Qin Xiong led the team to defeat the South Korean team, which should be stronger than the Chinese team at that time.
More than two years have passed, Liu Yi has become more mature in the German arena, and Qin Xiong has become a blockbuster. is writing his own myth.
And what about Park Joo-young?
Although there are small achievements. But compared to these two, it is still a lot worse.
Psychological gap plus psychological shadow. made his performance fall to a low point in an instant when he met these two people, especially Liu Yi and Qin Xiong were more confident than before, and they were more aggressive in the confrontation, which inevitably made Park Zhouyong have a subconscious choice to retreat.
South Korea's center forward is unable to play its due tactical role, which greatly reduces their offensive efficiency, even if they can control the attack smoothly and push the attack into the danger zone, but the center is invisible. Especially if they can't even play the role of a fulcrum, then it means that their front line is torn apart!
Then the Chinese team will be able to cut the South Korean team's attack into two halves at the back, left and right, without the center!
After a long attack, and without even a few threatening shots on goal, the South Korean team began to become agitated, and the two full-backs, Lee Young-pyo and Cho Won-hee, began to assist forward.
Qin Xiong has been judging the situation, and the Chinese team's attack in this game is extremely simple, and they have been playing English long passes until 30 minutes, occasionally trying to push on the side. But none of them worked well.
It wasn't until the 32nd minute of the game that Qin Xiong noticed that two of the South Korean team's fullbacks were aggressively assisted in the front court. One of their crosses failed, and the football cleared by Li Weifeng's header also fell to the feet of Zhao Junzhe, this time, the opportunity came!
Qin Xiong turned his head as he ran forward, and looked at Zhao Junzhe fiercely: It's now!
Zhao Junzhe will definitely observe Qin Xiong's movements as soon as possible, because Qin Xiong is the soul of the team, but the test is whether he can pass the ball cleanly and neatly, and ensure the quality of the pass.
When Zhao Junzhe decisively sent a through ball, Qin Xiong applauded in his heart!
He does not have harsh requirements for his teammates, when the Chinese team is suppressed by the South Korean team, then when the Chinese team counterattacks, there is an open area in the midfield, and Qin Xiong's running awareness is absolutely fine, he will look for space, and ensure that his teammates have a passing vision, so as long as Zhao Junzhe plays at a normal level and does not be nervous, then he will be able to pass the ball to the ideal position.
Qin Xiong touched the ball in the middle line and went straight forward, like lightning!
"The Chinese team is three against three! The failure of the South Korean team's attack gave the Chinese team a good opportunity to counterattack, Qin Xiong and Zhang Pengfei are both fast players, although Shao Jiayi did not follow up, he dragged it back in order to defend Zhao Yuanxi's position, but now the Chinese team plus Li Jinyu is facing only a back of the South Korean team, Kim Nanyi, and two central defenders! ”
Kim Nam-il is definitely a low-key and lethal midfielder.
As we all know, the defending champion France team in the 02 World Cup set a shameful record of returning home in the group stage, and fans also know that it is because of Zidane's injury and absence that the strength of the French team has been affected.
And it was Kim Nam-il who injured Zidane in the warm-up match!
This counterattack opportunity couldn't be better, of course Qin Xiong wouldn't break through, passing the ball is a faster way to advance.
When Kim Nam-il did not retreat back, but moved sideways to defend Qin Xiong, seemingly ready to bring down Qin Xiong at any moment, Qin Xiong crossed the ball diagonally to the right two meters in front of him.
The football rolled to the front of Zhang Pengfei's running position, with Qin Xiong's familiarity and understanding of him, coupled with his own focus on observing his teammates.
Zhang Pengfei will have an easy time receiving this ball, however, he is not good at dribbling and breaking through.
After Qin Xiong came out of the ball, he broke out with the acceleration of crushing Jin Nanyi head-on, which is a very simple speed competition, that is, a sprint, and Qin Xiong is frontal, and Jin Nanyi has to turn around.
So when Jin Nanyi's hand tried to pull Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong waved his hand away without hesitation, and he didn't look at Jin Nanyi, and Qin Xiong had already formed a habit, he shook off his opponent's hand, he would not raise it very high, but he would take the initiative to swing his arm, just to avoid fouls.
Jin Nanyi gritted his teeth, and when he turned around, he was fiercely opened by Qin Xiong, and he raised to pull Qin Xiong's arm, it seemed to be just a normal contact, but only he clearly understood that Qin Xiong definitely did it on purpose!
The pain in his arm was nothing, it was definitely not as painful as he could only look at Qin Xiong's back after he turned around!
Zhang Pengfei quickly passed back to Qin Xiong, and in the acceleration, Qin Xiong had already surpassed him.
Three to three, became two to two!
Qin Xiong, who had a perfect combination of man and ball, came to the penalty area, and the two central defenders of the South Korean team were forced to stop to block Qin Xiong and the Chinese striker Li Jinyu in the continuous retreat.
Song Jong-kook blocked Lee Jin-woo, and Choi Jin-chul intercepted Qin Xiong head-on.
In front of Cui Zhenzhe, Qin Xiong slowed down, slowed down, took a step to the left with the ball, facing the direction that Li Jinyu might insert diagonally into the running position, Cui Zhenzhe pasted it, Qin Xiong raised his right foot, Cui Zhenzhe stretched out his foot to block Qin Xiong's passing line, and they were already very close.
Qin Xiong's right foot swayed half a circle in front of the football, and while his right foot landed, his left foot pulled the ball and broke through from the left side of Cui Zhenzhe's body!
Cui Zhenzhe's mind rumbled at the moment when he passed by Qin Xiong!
Disgrace!
As a veteran approaching the age of 34, he was cleanly broken through by the players of the Chinese team who were not yet 20 years old!
Qin Xiong went to the meeting alone! (To be continued......)
