Chapter 166: The battle of life and death for the Korean team

The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 Beijing time, a time period that is all too familiar to Chinese players, as most of the Chinese Super League games played in the evenings are basically played at this point.

The temperature in Hunan in March is still not high, and the humidity in the south is even higher than in the north.

The clammy and clammy weather may not be too comfortable for South Koreans on the Korean Peninsula.

But such weather did not affect the performance of the Korean players, and with the referee's whistle, the game began. The South Korean team took advantage of the opportunity to kick off first and immediately launched an attack on the Chinese team.

Stillik basically doesn't think about how to deal with Li Qingshan now, because this problem is basically unsolvable. Stillik could only try to cut off Li Qingshan's contact with other Chinese players when the South Korean team players were on defense, so as to minimize Li Qingshan's threat to the goal.

And the weakness of the Chinese team is in defense!

Although Li Qingshan is powerful, he is only one person, so if the South Korean team can give full play to its overall strength, it remains to be said whether the Chinese team's backline can stop it.

In fact, the South Korean team came up with a difficulty, and Ji Chengyong directly came to a long shot on the periphery, allowing the goalkeeper Zeng Cheng of the Chinese team to make a save.

The Chinese fans in the stands were shocked, and even Lippi was not calm.

"Be careful!!! Duan Xuan on the commentary seat was so frightened that he stood up directly! The game has just begun, and the commentators haven't had time to announce the starting lineups of both sides in this game!

Zeng Cheng flew to make a save, then immediately stood up from the ground and roared at the backline.

"The players of the Chinese team are !! focused" Xu Yang's tone was a little solemn. Despite the existence of Li Qingshan, in Asia, the overall strength of the Chinese team is not cheap against Iran, South Korea, Japan, and Australia, which are Asian powerhouses!

Ji Chengyong did not plan to score with the first shot, but his shot undoubtedly boosted the morale of the players of the South Korean team, and now there are not many people mentioning Koreanphobia in South Korea, counting, from 2014 to the present, the two meetings between the Chinese team and the South Korean team ended with the defeat of the South Korean team. If two consecutive defeats insist on saying that the Chinese team has Koreanphobia, even with the face of the Korean media, they can't say it.

However, many self-media on the Chinese side swore that the South Korean team had suffered from Sinophobia!

Of course, this is just a headline party made by some self-media in order to attract traffic. In the mainstream media, no one has ever said that the South Korean team is Sinophobic.

These exaggerated words of Chinese online self-media were reprinted back to South Korea by South Korean media as a joke for South Koreans.

"With such a disparity in combat record, the Chinese dare to say that the South Korean team is afraid of China, which is probably the biggest joke of the 21st century!"

Koreans are watching jokes, and many Korean players laugh when they see such news.

However, when they walked into the Helong Stadium, they were indeed calmed by the atmosphere of the scene, and even many players were wondering if there was really a shadow of Sinophobia in their hearts...

Ji Chengyong's long-range shot at the beginning made the players of the South Korean team sober up, despite Li Qingshan, but the Chinese team's midfield and backfield are still the same as before!!

Sinophobia?

It's really a joke!!

This is a life-and-death battle for the Korean team!

If they lose this game, South Korea will be nine points behind China, and Iran will play Qatar, the weakest team in the group, and this round Iran will play away to Qatar, which is the weakest team in the group, and this game is very likely to be won by Iran.

If both China and Iran win, South Korea would be nine points behind them, and with three rounds of the group remaining, South Korea have only a theoretical chance of finishing in the top two of the group.

Even if the Chinese team and the Iranian team are all defeated in the next three rounds, and the South Korean team wins, the South Korean team is only on the same points as these two teams, not to mention that there is an Uzbekistan with a hope of qualifying.

Therefore, this game is a game that must not be lost for the South Korean team.

The importance of the game put a lot of pressure on the Korean players.

Son Heung-min made a special trip to Tottenham to ask for leave to return to South Korea ahead of schedule for this game, which can be imagined that the South Korean team attaches great importance to this game.

In fact, even if he took a leave of absence, Son Heung-min's calf muscles were actually a little injured, and in order to catch up with this game, the Koreans played closed!

Ji Chengyong's long-range shot was saved, and Son Heung-min ran to take a corner.

Instead of passing the ball directly into the box, South Korea played a tactical corner.

Son Heung-min passed the ball to Gu Zi-cheol, who came to pick him up, and then started to run forward himself.

The left fullback of the Chinese team, Li Xuepeng, followed Son Xingmin closely, and Gu Zizhe, who received the ball on the side, was handed over to the full-back Yu Hanchao to take care of.

The Chinese players are very close, and the South Korean team is not the kind of team that can play such fine work as threading the needle in a small area, Son Heung-min and Gu Ji-chul failed to develop the ball into the danger zone several times, so the South Korean team's attack once again ended with a long-range shot.

This time, it was Son Heung-min who bypassed behind Gu Zi-cheol, and after receiving a pass from Gu Zi-cheol, he shot directly from a distance, and as a result, the football flew out of the bottom line from the other side.

Stillik looked at Lippi, who was sitting in the dugout on the other side, looking confident.

There is no doubt about the Italian coach's ability, especially his tuning in defence!

Being able to adjust these materials to the level they are now, Lippi deserves to be a handsome!

Stillik didn't expect a single offensive to break through the Chinese team's defense, and he also straightened the collar of his suit and sat back in the coach's box.

However, his behavior made the South Korean commentator very dissatisfied: "Now at the moment of the team's life-and-death battle, Stillik can still sit in his position with peace of mind!" He should be standing on the sidelines and fighting with his team!! ”

Koreans are all wishing for Stillik!

If it is the first time to meet the Chinese team in the world preliminaries, Stillik will definitely stand on the sidelines and roar loudly, allowing the South Korean team to pull up the rhythm of the game and drag down the physical fitness of the Chinese team with a fast-paced game.

But the first round of the World Preliminary Tournament proved that the physical fitness of the current Chinese team is not weak at all!

With the boom of the Chinese Super League for several consecutive years, the chaotic management situation of Chinese football has improved, and Lippi's entry into the Chinese national team largely relies on Lippi's prestige in the football world to help the national team eliminate a lot of administrative interference.

This allows Lippi to choose players according to his needs, and the ruffians who used to be in the national team don't want to enter the national team again to continue to mix.

As for the South Korean team, due to the sudden announcement of the three foreign aid policy by the Chinese Football Association at the beginning of this season, many South Korean players who are playing have lost the opportunity to play, which almost makes most of the players of the South Korean team in a situation where they have no ball to play for most of the season.

In this way, the advantages of the South Korean team in terms of physical fitness are not obvious.

Stillik knew that it would not work to play the Chinese team in the old way, and they had to play another advantage of the Korean team over the Chinese team - the overall coordination and individual skills of the players!

In this game, the South Korean team must win, because this is their battle of life and death!
