Chapter 44 Seoul FC

"Muric made a selfless choice in a single-handed situation, he chose to cross to Li Qingshan, who was inserted, so that he got a chance to face the empty goal directly!!" Duan Xuan held his headset and said, "As the top scorer in the history of the AFC Champions League, he will not let go of such an opportunity!" ”

That's right, if it was Muric in the past, he would not have made such a choice when facing the goalkeeper alone, it can only be said that it was because the state of Jinlongda in this game was so good that Muric was not sure to score a single goal, but let Li Qingshan score an empty goal for the sake of safety.

In a way, Jin Yongda has done a pretty good job, and he can't be blamed for this goal.

And after seeing Guangzhou Evergrande's quick counter-attack goal, Choi Yong-so put his hand back in his pocket.

He knew that this was because he was too carried away, and after seeing Seoul FC attacking, he did not remind the players on the field to pay attention to the gap behind him in time, which caused the formation of the excited Seoul FC team to be more and more pressed. Of course, if you can score a goal during this time, then there is no doubt that the venture will be a success. But sometimes football is like that, and it's all about the other.

Choi Yong-so was in a very depressed mood right now, but it was completely unclear from the expression on his face that he was thinking. It's also a must as a football coach – you have to be mindful and not let your negative emotions affect the team.

Especially in the current situation of Seoul FC, when the offensive was in full swing, it was poured cold water on the head, and the original leading situation was equalized by the opponent. The blow to morale in this case is undoubtedly huge.

And Li Qingshan, who raised his arms and shouted after scoring to vent his previous accumulated frustration, now reacted and took the initiative to run to Muric's side, hug him, and thank him for his selflessness. It is completely reasonable for Muric to choose to push the ball himself, even if he doesn't score it, he can't complain about anything, but in the case of facing the goalkeeper alone, Muric chose to pass the ball.

Li Qingshan hugged Muric and rubbed Murich's bald head.

"Thank you, Luis!"

Muric is a person who is not good at words, and he just patted Li Qingshan on the back in response.

Immediately after that, more teammates rushed up and surrounded them!

The pressure on Guangzhou Evergrande just now is indeed quite large, the opponent's offensive momentum is quite fierce, and it is possible to be scored by the opponent if you are a little inattentive. Well, now it was a quick counter-attack to score a goal, not only to suppress the opponent's attacking momentum, but most importantly to equalise and score an away goal.

In this two-legged home-and-away format, the advantage of the side with more away goals can sometimes be as good as a one-goal lead.

"Ahhh It's a pity!! The Korean commentator said in frustration, "Kim Yongdae's goal was finally broken by the opponent." Our number one goalkeeper was in very good form in the first half and he had already blocked a couple of shots that were sure to happen. Unfortunately, it was scored by the opponent at the end of the first half. ”

The equaliser in the 40s and more minutes had a clear impact on a team's morale. This is also human nature, originally their own side could enter the Super League rest with a leading advantage, which Cheng wanted to be scored by counterattack in the end.

Choi Yong-so gestured from the sidelines, signaling the Seoul FC players to hold steady in the remaining minutes of the first half. Now it's just an equalizer by the opponent, which means that the two sides have come to the same starting line, but if you are in a hurry to press the attack after being scored by the opponent, and then the opponent scores in the same way, it will be worth the loss.

Choi Yong-so needs his team to maintain such a score before going into half-time, when he has 15 minutes to adjust the mental state of his players and salvage the morale of the team that was affected by the equaliser.

Not only Choi Yong-so, but Lippi also gave instructions from the sidelines, and it looked like the managers of both sides did not want too many surprises in the remaining minutes of the first half.

When the game resumed, Seoul FC launched a wave of harassing attacks, with only three of their foreign players trying to bring the ball to Guangzhou Evergrande's frontcourt, while the rest of the Seoul FC players did not choose to press the attack.

Of course, this attack could not threaten Guangzhou Evergrande's goal, Escudero successfully brought the ball to the bottom line with his dribbling ability, but his cross did not even catch a corner kick, nor was it passed into the penalty area, but was directly intercepted by Sun Xiang halfway and passed to Zheng Zhi, who came back to respond.

After receiving the ball, Zheng Zhi did not rush to pass the ball forward, but turned around and passed the ball to Huang Bowen on the other side, and Huang Bowen passed it back to Feng Xiaoting.

At this time, the three players of Seoul FC who pressed through the half court did not come forward to press, but symbolically harassed them and then slowly retreated to the half.

Guangzhou Evergrande began to slowly pass the ball through the half court in the backfield.

Although it is said to stabilize the situation, when the opponent gives up pressing, he will still pass the ball across the half court. At the very least, it's safer to pass the ball in the opposition half than to pass the ball in your own half. Moreover, if you are lucky enough to have a gap in the opponent's defense, it is not impossible to suddenly change the rhythm and play an attack.

After Guangzhou Evergrande equalized, the originally fast-paced situation on the field calmed down suddenly, and both sides did not seem to have great objections to the score in the first half. Guangzhou Evergrande slowly passed the ball in the midfield, passing the football from left to right, and then from right to left, occasionally trying to pass forward on the side to test the defensive attention of Seoul FC.

And Seoul FC didn't seem to be in a hurry to get the ball back, as long as Guangzhou Evergrande didn't pass the ball into the danger zone, they let their opponents' non-stop passes turn the ball back. They have been out of possession for almost two minutes, and Guangzhou Evergrande's non-stop crosses have also caused the fans at the scene to boo, and it is unknown whether they want to use boos to interfere with Guangzhou Evergrande's possession or are dissatisfied with Seoul FC's initiative to give up pressing.

It wasn't until the fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign for stoppage time that the decibels of boos rose sharply.

The first half of the game was very smooth as a whole, with both sides playing a high-quality game, with no frequent fouls, falling to the ground, not many cards, and no time to besiege the referee for an explanation. Overall, the quality of the game is the highest level of Asian football. However, given the two goals and celebrations from both sides, it makes sense to give two minutes of stoppage time on the sidelines.

However, the Korean fans at the scene were not happy, although the pace of the two sides slowed down during this time, the ball was controlled by Guangzhou Evergrande. If the stoppage time is long, who knows if there will be accidents.

The worries of South Korean fans are justified, when more than a minute of stoppage time passed, Guangzhou Evergrande tried to attack, anyway, there are only a few dozen seconds left in the first half of the game, take advantage of the last dozens of seconds to attack, success is success, not cost side and there is no loss.

This attack was initiated by Conca, when Conca received the pass in the middle, he did not pass back or horizontally as before, but led the ball forward a few steps, attracting the attention of Seoul FC's midfield defenders, and then passed directly diagonally to the side, Elkeson cut inside with the ball after receiving the ball on the side, and brought the defender to the middle, and at this time Zhang Linpeng, who had not come up for a while, set the edge.

After attracting the attention of the defender with the ball, Elkeson did not continue to cut inside, but pushed the ball to Zhang Linpeng, who was on the side. This time, Zhang Linpeng did not stop the ball, but chased the ball and crossed it directly, and the football drew an arc in the air and flew to the penalty area.

And Li Qingshan, who had already been prepared in the forbidden area, jumped high.

"Li Qingshan!!" Duan Xuan had already stood up.

"Be careful!!! This is a Korean narrator.

And Jin Longda was already staring at Li Qingshan, who was jumping high at this time, and he had no way to attack now, so he could only stay in front of the door. He saw Li Qingshan jump high and shake his head to attack the goal. He could only rely on his intuition to judge one direction to pounce. At this time, he couldn't wait for Li Qingshan to finish shaking his head and get up to save - at such a close distance, it was too late for him to react.

Jin Longda, who was already jumping in the air, watched the football being thrown in the air by Li Qingshan, but flew in the opposite direction of his save!!

His pupils dilated instantly, and he looked in horror at the soccer ball flying in the other direction.

When he fell to the ground, he glanced into the goal.

What about football?

Then he turned his head to look at Li Qingshan, who was holding his head regretfully, and the cold sweat was left.

At the last minute of the first half, FC Seoul escaped!
