Chapter 16: The First Half
At half past seven, as soon as the whistle sounded, the away team Suwon Samsung kicked off. Kim Do-hoon dialed the ball to Hwang Sun-hong, turned around and ran to the left of the frontcourt, and at the same time, it was obvious that all three lines of the Suwon team were pressing forward. Hwang Sun-hong passed the ball to Park Ji-sung on the left and himself mentioned the position of the forward midfield. Park Ji-sung took two steps forward with the ball, and Xie Feng, the right wingback of the Sun God, came up to meet him. Xie Feng, who was born in 1966 and is 30 years old, has a lot of experience, and is now the main right-back of the national team.
is worthy of being a veteran star, in the first head-to-head confrontation just opened, Xie Feng did not choose a more stable slow retreat, but when Park Ji-sung received the ball and did not adjust to make the next move, he posted it as soon as possible, which made the South Korean midfielder, who will be popular in Manchester United in the future, immediately lose the starting space for the breakthrough, and the opponent had to pass the ball to Kim Do-hoon, who ran to the position in advance and was ready to receive his feet. Kim Do-hoon received the ball and pulled it down, and it became a defense against Ballack, and this time it can still be seen that Kim has experience on the court, if he is facing the defense with his back, he is likely to pass the ball back to the back behind him.
Looking at Ballack, who was still a little childish in front of him, Kim Do-hoon immediately decided that the ball should rush to the opponent's penalty area by himself, instead of passing the ball to Hwang Sun-hong in front of the right. When the outside instep of the outside foot goes in the opposite direction of Ballack, Kim Do-hoon strides forward, so that the ball is at the far end of the opponent's body and is difficult to interfere with directly. Sure enough, Ballack's defense was immediately passive, although he was 7 cm taller than the opponent, but Kim Dohoon, who had been playing for many years, was obviously better at using his body. The first time you lose your position, the next thing you can only rely on the help of your teammates. Gattuso also let go of Huang Shanhong beside him, and went to grab Kim Do-hoon head-on.
At this time, Huang Shanhong immediately took a few steps forward, standing in the gap between the back and the central defender of the Sun God team, Kim Do-hoon also passed the ball to Huang Shanhong at the moment before Gattuso came up, and he ran towards the middle of Li Boen and the right central defender Huang Qinneng, everyone thought that the ball Huang and Jin could choose to play a two-on-two cooperation in the front court. As a result, Hwang Sun-hong ran forward with Kim Do-hoon to help him open up some space, and at the same time, passed the ball to the position of no player on his right side, and saw a tough South Korean player quickly cut in, and raised his foot to meet the ball and was ready to shoot.
Liu Xiang Tie! Old fans should be familiar with the long-range shot of South Korea's No. 6 iron waist Liu Xiangtie, which really brought a lot of trouble to the Chinese team. Just when everyone was about to fly towards the goal, a thick thigh came into view. This person threw himself from 3 meters away, and Liu Xiangtie's shot was blocked by a flying shovel as soon as he got off the goal. The ball flew to the right sideline of the Guangzhou team with this strange arc, and Wu Chengying and Goguryeo Tianxiu on the opposite side probably had the chance of getting this ball. If Wu Chengying chooses to stop the ball, it is inevitable that Li Tianxiu will have already grabbed it, so Wu Chengying decisively faced the incoming ball and kicked the ball behind Li Tianxiu with his right foot, and he bypassed from the other side of the opponent. What a ball!
As soon as this ball was successful, everyone noticed that the one who quickly got up and ran forward with Wu Chengying quickly after tackling the ball just now, shouted in Italian that people couldn't understand, not Gattuso Who else, this defensive awareness, the speed of filling the position is probably him.
Looking back, Wu Chengying used a smart man to divide the ball, not only got the ball, but also passed the first barrier of the opponent's right side defense, and the midfield in front of him was Peng Weijun, Hu Zhijun, Gattuso, who followed at the first time, and Trezeguet in front. A 4-on-5 situation has quickly formed. Li Tianxiu, who was chasing behind, and other midfielders of the South Korean team who returned to the defense, did not give Wu Chengying time to think at all, and when the ball was caught up by the opponent's right fullback, Wu Chengying had already passed the ball to Peng Weijun in the middle. Continue to run forward, waiting for a 2-by-1 with the middle to break through the wing. As a result, the ball hit Gattuso who was cutting forward at high speed, and the Italian didn't react, and the ball bounced to the feet of one of the remaining central midfielders on the opposite side. As soon as the other party saw that the left wing of the Guangzhou team was empty, Wu Chengying didn't have time to return to defense, so he had to go to the front to find Li Tianxiu. And then the Italians again! Gattuso stepped forward and pressed his opponent to the right side of his body, forcing the opponent to pass the ball back to the left-back, preventing this possible threat.
In less than 5 minutes of the opening game, the two sides have been playing so fiercely, and it is not said that they will first seek stability and then slowly test the other party's meaning. But the fans were happy to see it, and the two teams pulled out to play and play against each other, and this ball was exciting!
In the first 15 minutes of the first half, the two sides played back and forth, and the strange thing was that there was not a single foul or a set-piece, and the pace was too fast. Once the rhythm is fast, it is easy to increase mistakes and uncertainty, once the left central defender Li Wei's clearance hit the opponent Kim Do-hoon, and the result bounced to Huang Shanhong, at this time, because he saw Li Wei's big foot to clear the siege, the teenager had already made the first time to the premise, and Huang Qineng was still dragging two steps behind. If it weren't for the fact that Huang Shanhong didn't stop the ball for the first time when the ball landed, I'm afraid Suwon Samsung would have taken a 1:0 lead.
The boy shouted at Barak, "Michael, slow! Control!"
This is also one of the few Chinese sentences that Ballack has recently learned to train his three foreign helpers, so Guangzhou Suns, who once again won possession, began to suppress the rhythm, and the midfield patiently poured his feet, trying to pull the opponent's formation out of the air.
In the 27th minute of the first half, midfielder Gattuso made a steal and passed the ball to Peng Weijun in front. Peng Weijun was going to distribute the ball to Hu Zhijun in front of the penalty area on the right, but suddenly saw Trezegai between the two central defenders of the opponent move, and when he had already made a pass to Hu Zhijun, he pulled the ball back in the face of Liu Xiangtie, who was blocking with his outstretched foot, and then flicked Liu Xiangtie to the left, and at the same time made a pick pass with his right foot, and the ball flew into the penalty area from the head of the right central defender. The ball was passed very comfortably, and the position of the drop was just three steps into the penalty area, and the goalkeeper was too late to attack, only to see Trezeguet stop the ball on his chest, raise his right foot and volley, the ball flew straight to the top left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper was really out of reach, but the "dang" hit the post and bounced out, and the fans in the stadium also collectively cried out of regret.
Although the goal was not scored, the Guangzhou team has obviously controlled the midfield now, and it is only a matter of time before the goal continues to be scored in this way.
The ball bounced out of the box and landed at the feet of Oh Seung-ying on the left. Seeing that there was no chance, Wu Chengying passed the ball back to Ballack, who responded in the middle, and the ball was transferred to the feet of Xie Feng on the right side before the opponent posted it, and the ball was always controlled at the feet of the Sun God team for the next five minutes. After 19 consecutive passes, the teenager cut in from the back. First, he and Ballack 2-1 passed Liu Xiangtie, and then the ball was distributed to Peng Weijun on the left, and he continued to kill the opponent's penalty area, Peng Weijun passed the ball to Trezeguet on the penalty line for the first time, and the Frenchman turned his back to the defender, but at the same time knocked the ball back to the penalty area with his back heel, and the teenager followed up to make a long-range shot. A central defender came up to block. Lee Bern flicked the outside of his right foot to the outside of his foot and then picked up the ball to the back post of the right wing.
The ball crossed the penalty area line and everyone at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and when he just came out of the big penalty area, Xie Feng, who could run for 11 seconds in 100 meters, burst in and received the ball. did not stop the ball, Xie Feng directly passed the ball past the opponent's fullback, and he also rushed over at the same time, passing the ball to the middle before the ball was about to go out of the bottom line, Xie Feng, who couldn't stop the car, also lost his balance and fell out, and at the same time did not forget to stare at the football that flew to the goal.
The moment Xie Feng just broke in, everyone on the penalty line moved, Li Boen, Hu Zhijun, Peng Weijun, and Barak who was in front. Good guys, plus the opponent's retreating players, the small penalty area is full, and a good sports cross is the feeling of kicking a corner kick. Because the ball was about to go out of the bottom line, Xie Feng didn't control the power of the ball, the ball flew over the front point and the middle, and went straight to the back point.
One of the opponent's central defenders jumped up and pressed Hu Zhijun half a head high, the ball saw that there was no chance, and suddenly rushed in from behind the big penalty area A figure jumped high, under him was the opponent's central defender and Hu Zhijun, a powerful header, the ball grazed the post and flew into the goal. The goalkeeper fell to the ground, and then Hu Zhijun and the opposing central defender were also unbalanced and fell into the goal line by the powerful impact just now.
With a "beep" whistle, everyone could see Trezeguet as he raced out of the crowd to celebrate his goal. This young Frenchman is also interesting, rushed to the corner flag, turned around and held the corner flag with one hand and aimed it at his big mouth, as if holding a microphone, and pointed at the people in the restricted area with the other hand, and kept saying something in his mouth. Then a group of teammates rushed up and threw the big man to the ground.
The fans at the scene were also noisy at this time, and the fans in the stadium shouted Trezeguet rhythmically, but the people here shouted not Trezeguet, but Chasgut. I have to complain here, as soon as the unified name of the whole country arrives in the Cantonese-speaking area, it will completely change, such as the well-known Beckham, Lang Nadu....
Back to the topic, Suwon Samsung, who lost the ball, pressed a lot of hard in the next time, and the central defenders almost pressed to the halfway. Guangzhou Suns, who led by one goal, were not in a hurry to control the rhythm and occasionally counterattacked.
Suwon Samsung, who does not dominate in the midfield, also began to move bigger. In the 39th minute of the first half, after Gattuso made another steal, he was directly reversed by Li Tianxiu. When the Italian stood up and saw that it was this goods, the fire rushed upward, rushed to the face, and directly knocked Li Tianxiu to the ground. Now you can see how good this Korean newcomer's performance is, what a celestial show! Obviously, Gattuso hit him in the chest, and the kid fell to the ground covering his face and screaming. Angry, Gattuso half-crouched on the ground and shouted in Italian: "Pretend!" You give me the hell to get up, there's no egg!"
After the last two let their teammates pull away, the referee also played 20 boards each, and each person got a golden yellow card.
After receiving the yellow card, the South Korean team's actions were slightly restrained, but they were also small actions. Can't get a header against you Ballack? Then I'll have to give you an elbow, don't you Germans love to eat elbows! Can't outrun Xie Feng at speed? The pants were about to be pulled off, and there happened to be a live broadcast camera next to it, which made Xie Feng blush, scolded and blocked the camera with his hand, and then stood on the sidelines with one hand to change into a new pants.
The remaining seven or eight minutes of the first half were so fragmented that they had to be stopped once in a minute or two. In the end, as Suwon Samsung Yoo Xiangteol hit a long-range shot from 45 meters away, the referee also blew the whistle at the end of halftime.
