Chapter 170: The Cautious Korean Team

Before the start of the battle between China and South Korea, the first match of the quarterfinals was played between Australia and Uzbekistan.

Hosts Australia comfortably beat Uzbekistan 3-0 to advance to the semi-finals.

After this game, the war between China and South Korea officially began.

Brisbane Stadium has almost completely turned into the home of the Chinese team.

In the three group games, the Chinese team played at Brisbane Stadium, which is the third largest city in Australia, with a large number of Chinese, and because the Chinese team's base camp is stationed here, many overseas Chinese in Australia have gathered, making the Chinese faces on the streets of Brisbane more and more.

The South Korean team almost had the illusion that this was China, not Australia, when they entered the stadium.

In addition to the tickets given by the organizers of the event to the fixed positions of the two football associations, in the individual passenger area, almost all of them were red, and the five-star red flag was displayed at the Brisbane Stadium, and the Chinese fans almost occupied all the seats except for the tickets in the hands of the Korean Football Association, which made the security personnel on the scene have to let a small number of Korean fans who also bought loose tickets be arranged to the gathering area of Korean fans to avoid accidents.

When Li Qingshan, who was behind the team, appeared, the scene exploded with a bang.

Li Qingshan raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and greeted the Chinese fans in the stands.

It was such a simple action that completely detonated this stadium.

There is no doubt that Li Qingshan is the biggest star of this game, even if the game has not started, his light is already extremely dazzling.

"Li Qingshan is really becoming more and more superstar." Duan Xuan sighed.

He sat in the commentary seat at Brisbane Stadium, and although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this scene.

He had to wear a headset, keep the microphone close to his lips, and shout with all his strength to make his voice heard by the audience in front of the TV.

"Look at such a crazy scene, how many years have passed, Chinese football has finally given birth to a real superstar, Li Qingshan! I believe that in a few years, not only in China's football circle, but even in China's sports circles, he will be able to become the first person and become China's number one sports star. It's like Yao Ming back then. ”

"I don't want to say that Li Qingshan is Yao Ming in the football world, because, Li Qingshan is Li Qingshan, Yao Ming is very great, but Li Qingshan's road has just begun, you know, he is not yet twenty-two years old, he is a rising sun in the Chinese sports world, in the end, Li Qingshan can develop to what extent, no one knows, but one thing is certain, what he has achieved now is already standing at the peak of the history of Chinese football, he is now the legend of Chinese football. AFC Champions League champion, Club World Cup champion, Champions League champion, this series of heavy honors, hanging on this young man under the age of 22, his future is still long, we don't know what championship medals he will have on his body in the future, but at this moment, what we are most looking forward to is that he can lead the Chinese team, for Chinese football, for himself, and add another trophy - Asian Cup, this honor we have longed for! ”

Under such an atmosphere, before the start of the game, Duan Xuan made the above speech emotionally.

By the time he finished speaking, the game had already begun.

In the face of a strong opponent, Lippi arranged for Li Qingshan to play a single striker, and five players were discharged in the midfield, and the captain Zheng Zhi started with the captain's armband.

The back line is still a fixed Guangzhou Evergrande combination, in the midfield, five midfielders lined up in two lines, Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen formed a back partner, on the front line, Yue Hai, Hao Junmin, Yu Chao three rows from left to right, Hao Junmin plays the position of the midfielder.

The South Korean team shouted fiercely before the game, but when it came time to play, they appeared more cautious.

After kick-off, the South Korean team has been passing the ball in the backfield and does not pass the ball forward easily.

It seems that they are still quite afraid of the Chinese team's attack.

Ji Chengyong sits in the midfield and controls the rhythm on the field.

As the captain of South Korea, Ji Chengyong's role at Swansea City is more of a defensive player in the midfield, but when it comes to the South Korean team, Ji Chengyong is the core of the midfield.

It's also normal for players to play different roles for club and country.

Just like the former Korean football legend and Manchester United player Park Ji-sung, in the Manchester United team, Park Ji-sung is a role player, but in the South Korean team, he is the core of the team and the hub of the team's attack and defense.

The cautious South Korean team only started their first tentative offensive in the fourth minute of the game.

Sun Xingmin swept in front of the goal after breaking through Zhang Linpeng's defense with the ball on the side, and Feng Xiaoting grabbed the ball in front of Li Tingxie and cleared the ball.

The South Koreans' first tentative offensive immediately gave the Chinese a chance to counterattack.

Li Qingshan controlled the landing point, put the ball to the side for a point, Yu super speed odd block, caught up with the football, and then the curve ball crossed, passed to the side of the player Yu Hai who inserted on the other side, Yue Hai made a slight adjustment and shot, and the football was confiscated by the South Korean team goalkeeper Kim Jin Hyun.

The goal did not score, which made the Chinese fans at the scene hold their heads and regret, and then applause rang out, applauding the Chinese team's counterattack this time.

The first tentative attack allowed the Chinese team to complete a threatening counterattack after breaking the ball, making the South Korean team appear more cautious.

They carefully controlled the ball, did not easily pass the threat, and slowly transmitted and advanced, trying to press the Chinese team back into the half through the overall attack.

They did succeed, and most of the Chinese players were pressed back into their own half by South Korea. If you compete for the overall strength, the Chinese team is of course inferior to South Korea.

But Li Qingshan didn't go back, because it was useless for him to go back, his contribution to defense was limited to high-altitude ball clearance, and if he stayed in the front, the two central defenders of the South Korean team plus the back Park Ju never dared to pass the half, he alone contained the opponent's three players, such a deal is of course calculated.

Moreover, Li Qingshan's stay in the front court also means that the South Koreans' goal is threatened at all times, so even if the South Koreans advance through the half, they do not dare to pass the ball forward easily, and they are also afraid that the Chinese team will break the ball and successfully counterattack.

Ji Chengyong passed the ball to Sun Xingmin, Sun Xingmin faced Zhang Linpeng one-on-one, if it was an ordinary game, Sun Xingmin would try to pass one-on-one at this time, but after he saw that Zhang Linpeng was stuck in the position of the inner line, Sun Xingmin did not dare to hold it up, and then passed the ball back to Ji Chengyong, and Ji Chengyong was transferring to the other side.

The caution of the Koreans can be seen.
