Chapter 519: Breaking the Curse of Koreanophobia!

After Hwang Hee-chan was sent off, Stillik could only let the two wingers, Goo Ji-cheol and Ji Dong-won, move a little closer to the middle, but the formation as a whole did not change, just became a 4-3-2.

There is no way to do this, even if there is one less person, the South Korean team can only fight, after all, it is still one goal behind!

And the Dragon Country team also made an adjustment, that is, to let Yu Hanchao play, replace Lin Liangming, who fought fiercely today, and continue to maintain the pressure on the Korean team on the side.

Of course, this is also because Lin Liangming was kicked by Huang Xican just now, although it seems that there is no big problem, but for the sake of insurance, let him come down and take a rest.

And Yu Hanchao, who just came on the field, was originally known for his "desperate Sanlang" energy, but now he finally came up, and he was even more energetic to show it.

It only took three minutes for him to show his value as a substitute!

He hit Zhang Linpeng on the side and made a one-two with Zhang Linpeng on the side and then broke into the bottom line, and then found Zhang Yuning in the middle with an accurate cross.

Jang Yuning flicked his head again, but this time Kwon Chun-tae couldn't save his shot again.

The ball hit the post again, but this time it bounced into the net!

2:0!

Zhang Yuning finally scored!

All the friends rushed to him to congratulate him.

Pan Yi and Lippi on the sidelines also glanced at each other with satisfaction.

Although Pan Yi said at halftime that it didn't matter if Zhang Yuning didn't score, everyone actually knows that scoring goals from forwards, especially from centers, is still very crucial for a team.

The center has the confidence to score goals, and only when he kicks the ball can he have energy, and the attack in the front court can really come alive!

And for the South Korean team, this goal is tantamount to a catastrophe.

With one less player and now two goals behind, this is basically a foregone conclusion that the defeat of the Korean team tonight is a foregone conclusion!

And after this goal, the Dragons made another substitution.

This time, the goal-scorer Zhang Yuning was replaced and replaced by Yu Dabao.

At the same time, he also replaced the captain Zheng Zhi, who scored the first goal, with Cai Huikang to maintain the interception ability of the midfielder.

It's also for them to receive the applause of the fans!

It's just that after the substitution is over, the Dragon Country team is still holding the initiative to attack.

This is because the current South Korean team has lost confidence, and they no longer have the strength to organize an effective attack.

If you don't have the ball here, then control will naturally shift to the side of the Dragons.

As a result, the "three to zero!" "Three to zero!" "Three to zero!" In the shouting, the Dragon Country team actually attacked the South Korean team again and again.

Of course, this was also instructed by the coaching staff.

Pan Yi and Lippi are well aware that in the rules of the World Cup qualifiers, if the group stage has the same number of points, the priority is goal difference.

The Dragons are only three points behind them after beating South Korea today, and considering that there are still four games to go, it is possible that the two will be equalized in points.

In such a situation, wouldn't it be a good thing to try to get as much goal difference as possible on the now combative South Korean team, while reducing their goal difference?

This is the real "take advantage of his illness and kill him"!

Moreover, the historical grievances with Korean football also determine that there is no friendship between the two, and even the Italian coaching staff has no friendship to talk about with them.

Only by doing them hard can we completely dig out the three words "Koreanphobia" from the depths of the hearts of the national football players!

The South Korean team was a little stunned.

It's all like this, why are you still like this?

Finally, near the end of the game, almost in the last minute of injury time, Wu Lei interspersed to the right side, and then was fouled and got a free kick opportunity.

At this time, the set-piece tactics practiced by the Dragons before the game also came in handy.

From a free kick, Yu Dabao grabbed the most advantageous position, shook off the defender and headed the ball into the South Korean goal from close range.

It's really 3:0!

Wu Lei completed the assist, and Fu will also make a contribution to Dabao after coming on as a substitute!

Losing and losing, the South Korean team can definitely be said to be defeated in this game.

With the referee's whistle, the Dragon Country team finally defeated the South Korean team 3-0 at home with the goals of Zheng Zhi, Zhang Yuning and Yu Dabao!

This is the second time that Yongguo has beaten South Korea by such a scoreline, but it is the first time that they have won against their opponents in a major tournament such as World Cup qualifying!

A complete victory!

——

Four hours after the end of the match between Dragon Country and South Korea, the other two matches in Group A also came to an end.

Iran unsurprisingly beat Qatar 1-0 on the road, but Syria also beat Uzbekistan 1-0 at home!

As a result, after the end of the sixth round, there was no change in the ranking of Group A.

Iran are unbeaten with 4 wins and 2 draws, and are still at the top of the table with 14 points, while South Korea is still in second place, but their results are 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses with only 10 points.

After losing, Uzbekistan failed to seize the opportunity to overtake South Korea, ranking third with 3 wins, 2 losses and 9 points.

Next is Syria, which is in fourth place, with 8 points from 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and the Dragon Country team in 5th place, with 7 points from 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.

At the end of the list is Qatar, which has only 3 points with 1 win and 5 losses.

With four games remaining, the situation in this group is not particularly clear, and any team can still qualify and all of them may be out.

In particular, the Dragon Country team, which was the most hopeless, was only 3 points away from the second Korean team after two consecutive wins, although it could only rank fifth!

And the South Korean team obviously didn't expect that they would fall into such a scuffle in this group, especially the 0:3 defeat to the Dragon Country Team was unacceptable to all Koreans!

So, just two hours later, the latest news came: the head coach of the South Korean team, Stillik, was out of class!

Four days later, South Korea have a crucial game at home to Syria, and the fact that they sacked their head coach at this juncture shows how intolerable they are to lose this game against the Dragons.

Of course, this is also a way for Koreans to shirk their responsibilities: the loss is all because of you, the incompetent German coach, who has nothing to do with my Korean players!

In an interview with reporters, Stillik generously said that it was his responsibility to lose to the Dragon Team, and he was ready to leave the class if he didn't win.

'I had a problem with the line-up from the start, so I tried to correct it at half-time but it didn't work out.

What Stillik is talking about is, of course, the use of Kim Shin-wook as the starter.

The advantages and disadvantages of Kim Shinyu, a high school striker, are very obvious, and in this game against the dragon country, his advantages were not brought into play, but his disadvantages were vividly exposed.

This led to Stillik replacing him in midfield to make up for his tactical shortcomings in the starting line-up.

Then Stillik added: "I would also like to say that the coaching staff of the Dragon Country obviously knows my players very well, whether I use Kim Shin Wook or Hwang Hee-chan as a center forward, they always have a way to deal with it. ”

"Suffice it to say, they set a trap for me to drill from the beginning. I can only say that whether it is Lippi or Pan Yi, their abilities are indeed far above mine. ”

"In addition to the tactics, I am also impressed by their ability to regulate the psychology of the players. Our players were overly optimistic about the situation in the group at the beginning and looked very impatient after the difficulties. ”

'This bad mood affected us throughout the game. On the other hand, the Dragons played more relaxed and patient, and we were a little too hasty in comparison. ”

"It can be said that the appearance of Lippi and Pan Yi has made the current Dragon Country team have been reborn, and this is no longer the Dragon Country Team we knew before."

"That foul on Hwang Hee-chan? All I can say was a microcosm of our anxiety throughout the game. There is no doubt that we paid the price for our uncoolness. ”

'I'm not here to defend the players, but to say that we were under too much pressure in this game, which made our players a little bit emotionally out of control, which led to the red card in the second half.

In the end, Stillik said that he was willing to accept the decision to be removed, and that he now felt a sense of relief that he had not felt in a long time.

The reporter asked him to comment on the current qualifying situation in Group A, and he can finally analyze it from the perspective of a neutral:

"At present, the Iranian team is still relatively stable, but whether they can qualify early will have to wait for their match against the Dragon Team in four days before it can be determined."

"It's very simple, I think the Dragons are very competitive in this group right now, and it's not that simple for Iran to get points against the Dragons right now. I even think that the Dragons will join the fray from now on to compete for a direct place in the group. ”

"If a few months ago I said that I would be more optimistic about the Dragons in this group except for Iran to finish in the top two, you must think I'm crazy, but that's true."

"After the transformation of Lippi and Pan Yi, the Dragon Team has made great progress in the past few months. They were very tenacious in the game, very tactical and had a lot of individual qualities. ”

"These are the key elements that can make them stand out in the group. And let's not forget that before they could make that much progress, they drew with Iran in the first round. ”

"Then, for their second meeting, although the Dragon Country is playing away this time, I have more reason to be more optimistic about the Dragon Country team."

"Yes, after a direct confrontation with the Dragon Country, I have a new understanding of the overall strength of the Dragon Country, especially the deployment of the coaching staff and the ability to command on the spot. Well...... Well, I don't pretend, I've always been a fan of Pan Yi! ”

"With Pan Yi here, the Dragon Country Team has the ability to create miracles!"

——

And when the reporter brought Stillik's remarks to Pan Yi, Pan Yi smiled.

This old German man is quite cute, he doesn't say good things about Long Guo and Pan Yi, and he doesn't care about the behavior of Koreans, he is really a good man.

I heard that the Chinese Super League team Tianjin TEDA is looking for a new head coach, why don't you draw him a line?

Of course, I'll have to talk about that later.

At the request of reporters, Pan Yi first commented on the match between the Dragon Kingdom and South Korea, saying that this was a golden victory, and at the same time, it also kept the chance of the Dragon Country team to qualify from the group.

'It's thanks to the hard work of the players, they executed the technique and tactics on the pitch very well, and everyone had the same confidence and philosophy and they were all very committed to the game, which ultimately led to our home win.

As for the current qualifying situation in Group A, Pan Yi said that every team still has a chance now, and the Dragon Country team needs to continue to work hard and continue to go all out in every game.

"The strength of each team in this group is very close, and each team is not easy to deal with, and our Dragon Country team is still facing great difficulties."

"Of the four games we have left, we only have one home game against Uzbekistan and the other three away games to West Asia, so the long journey and the climate over there are challenges for us."

'Yes, it's nice to have two wins in a row, but it's not a time to be proud and we have to start thinking about the away game against Iran now.'

"Iran are a strong team in Asia and are unbeaten in Group A, so it will be very difficult to play them away."

"But I also believe that the national football players are ready. They know that the previous two victories were all won by them through hard work. ”

"Without this hard work, without the unity and hard work of everyone in the team, we would have lost hope of qualifying a long time ago, and we would not have been where we are now."

"So, as long as we stick to it and fight with that belief, we can beat any opponent, at least in Asia."

"It's useless to talk too much, let's see you at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran!"

——

The next day, major media outlets in Asia retweeted Stillik and Pan Yi's post-match remarks.

For the South Korean media, of course, they first pointed the finger directly at Stillik.

This year's South Korean national team, due to a number of players who played in Europe's top five leagues, was called the strongest South Korean team in history by the Korean media, and also known as the strongest team in Asia.

Their goal is to reach the round of 16 and the last 8 in the World Cup!

However, after six rounds, the South Korean team did not make it out of the group at all.

Although it is still in second place, it has not opened up a gap with the next few teams.

In particular, the Dragon Country team, which they have always looked down on, not only won 3:0 in the direct confrontation between the two teams, but also narrowed the point gap between the two to 3 points, only one goal away!

This also made the Korean media feel very depressed, even a little frightened!

Combined with Pan Yi's cautious and confident speech, many South Koreans are beginning to worry that the current Dragon Nation team, which has won consecutive games, is really starting to threaten their qualification.

Of course, there are also many South Korean media who believe that the referee is suspected of taking care of the home team in this game, and although Huang Heecan's action is very big, he is not guilty of giving a red card.

"Just give a yellow card warning, didn't that Lin Liangming play again later? It means that the kick is not so heavy! ”

For such remarks, of course, the dragon country scoffed, and then began to spray on the Internet!

"Yes, Lin Liangming didn't bleed, how could he be considered a heavy kick? Like in the 2002 World Cup when South Korea played Italy, Yoo Sang-teol broke the eyebrow bone of Italian defender Koko with an elbow in the corner kick attack and defense, and made Koko's head bleed. ”

"You seem to be mistaken, even if Koko was bleeding at the beginning, and he could only continue to play after being bandaged in the end, this elbow was actually not fouled, at least that's what Moreno, the referee on duty, thinks."

"Tut, speaking of that game, it's not just that there was no foul. South Korea's Kim Tae-young knocked him to the ground with another elbow when defending Prince Pierrot's breakthrough, but referee Moreno still said it didn't matter and the game continued. ”

Then South Korean player Hwang Sun-hong was not good at all, and flew up and kicked Zambrotta in the crotch, kicking him out of the field and almost killing his grandchildren, and finally Zambrotta was seriously injured and was substituted. And then...... Still no fouls. ”

"What I remember the most was Maldini falling to the ground after clearing the ball in the box, and South Korea's Lee Cheon-so shot Maldini directly to the head with the power of the shot when he was obviously unable to kick the ball, and Maldini immediately fell to the ground in pain. In the face of such an almost murderous action, referee Moreno still signaled no foul, and the game continued. ”

"Grass, the more I talk about it, the more angry I become, did the referee forget to bring a whistle?"

"No, he brought it. In the 104th minute of extra time, South Korean player Song Jong Kook tripped Prince Totti in the penalty area, and Moreno's whistle finally sounded! Just when everyone thought Italy would win the most difficult game in history, Moreno sent Totti off the pitch with a fake fall...... Italy instead became a 10-man ......"

"Yes, but even with 10 men against Italy, their counter-attacks are still the sharpest weapons. In the 111th minute, Tomasi received a wonderful pass from Vieri and burst into the penalty area to score a goal! Moreno's whistle is going off again! Tomasi was offside and the goal was disallowed. ”

“…… Hastily, just in this game, the Koreans have done so many bad things, not to mention the next game they played in Spain. ”

"It's no wonder that yesterday's game wasn't held in Korea. If it is blown like the 2002 World Cup, I am afraid that Lin Liangming will be blown to lie on the ground to block the South Korean players and then foul......"

Spraying back and forth, a thousand words converge into one sentence, that is, "Stick shameless, stick SB"!

In addition to spraying Koreans, the fans of Dragon Country are of course even more praising their national team.

The three-goal defeat of the South Korean team completely witnessed the destruction of Koreanophobia, and also witnessed the rise of this dragon team!

Now, the Dragon Country team has regained hope of qualifying, and the hearts of all Dragon Country people are also full of hope!

"Not to mention the tactical and psychological changes, what is even more gratifying is that the offensive firepower of this national team is getting stronger and stronger, and such an offensive line is also made up of young players."

"25-year-old Wu Lei, 20-year-old Zhang Yuning, 19-year-old Lin Liangming! They are also excellent representatives of the Dragon players playing overseas, and they have been influenced by the most advanced football concepts, and they are more in line with the requirements of the current national team than anyone else. ”

"And among them, Wu Lei and Lin Liangming have been directly promoted and taught by Pan Yi, so they have made such rapid progress!"

"No amount of flowery rhetoric can describe our excitement now, and in the end it can only be gathered into one sentence: Thank you, Pan Yi!"

——

Pan Yi opened the curtains of his hotel room and looked out at the street.

Since the end of last night's game, the streets have been filled with all kinds of fans carrying big flags, singing and dancing.

They are celebrating this rare victory against Korea, and it is a big victory! A particularly relieving victory!

This is true in Changsha, and it is also true in other parts of the country.

Almost every corner is celebrating this hard-won victory.

And such a popular scene has only appeared once in the history of Dragon Country football.

It was October 7, 2001, the night the national team rushed to the World Cup.

At that time, with Yu Genwei's goal, Long Guonan was enough to defeat the opponent 1:0 and get the right to qualify from the group two rounds in advance, realizing the World Cup dream of several generations of Dragon Country footballers.

Although the Dragon Country team is not qualified today, and even only ranked fifth in the group, it is more likely that it will not qualify;

But this game means a lot to Dragon Country fans, and it is not even much less than qualifying.

This game for them was not only about three points, but the most important thing was to beat the Korean team and completely break the curse of Koreanphobia!

Especially the three goals, it's just so cool! Who would think that they scored too few goals when they played against a bitter enemy who had crushed them for many years? If you can get ten, you won't just get nine!

As for the fight for the right to qualify from the group...... They believe in the Lippi coaching staff and believe in Pan Yi.

After all, after they entered the national team, the changes in the national football team are obvious to all.

The national team has changed from a weak team that has been defeated repeatedly (one draw and three losses) to an invincible powerhouse (two consecutive wins), and the difference during the period is not too big.

But the most important thing is the unprecedented confidence they bring to the team.

Even after the night, you can still see the celebrating fans on the streets, some of them partying all night long, others coming in the morning.

No doubt they have no intention of stopping.

"What a lovely bunch of people!" Pan Yi smiled slightly and muttered to himself.

Although he sees fans celebrating all night when he wins in Milan, in Hamburg and at Chelsea, it is a completely different feeling than it is now.

First of all, it is easier for national football fans to be satisfied, not to mention winning the championship, this is just winning a game, and they didn't even get the right to qualify, but everyone is happy from the bottom of their hearts;

Secondly, there is the feeling here, which is stronger than that of the club fans, because it is the kind of feeling that carries national pride, and it can be said that there is not just football in it.

"So, keep it up!" Pan Yi said secretly, and then prepared to go downstairs.

As a reward for yesterday's performance, today's internationals will be free to move around the hotel and meet their families.

After lunch, the team will take a lunch break and fly directly to Tehran in the afternoon on a charter flight to prepare for the game against Iran in four days.

This will be another crucial battle that can decide the fate of both sides!
