Chapter 42: Hell Down

"Be careful!!! Duan Xuan, who was commentating the game at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, said with some horror after seeing Molina send out the free kick quickly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey.... Note... Alas.."

From Molina's quick free kick, Gao Yaohan directly to Deyang, and then to Deyang's cross, Escudero broke the goal, Duan Xuan only had time to make these three sounds.

Seoul FC's counterattack this time was too fast, from Molina's quick free kick to Escudero's knocking the ball into the goal in just a few seconds, Guangzhou Evergrande was caught off guard, and even Zhang Linpeng did not return to the half until this time.

Lippi stood on the sidelines with a frown, and he only felt a pang of helplessness in his heart now. His team besieged the opponent for ten minutes, and even had a chance to score infinitely close, but unfortunately Huang Bowen's tackle shot in the face of the empty goal actually hit the post. And the opponent's first shot of the game broke through their own goal.

But what's the solution, that's football.

Zhang Linpeng raised his hand to apologize to his teammates, a large part of the responsibility for the loss of the goal should be on his head, because he lost his defensive position, which led to a big hole in Guangzhou Evergrande's defensive system.

By this time, the Seoul World Cup stadium had turned into a sea of cheers for South Korean fans, whose team scored in the 10th minute of the match, and in the final, there was nothing more joyful.

Choi Yong-so was relieved to see Escudero smash the ball into Guangzhou Evergrande's goal, he didn't celebrate much, he wasn't a fan watching the game, he was the team's head coach.

As soon as his team took the lead, he summoned the Seoul FC players who had run to the sidelines to celebrate.

Now that he has a one-goal lead, Choi Yong-so has become more determined in his defensive counterattack tactics.

Zeng Cheng frustrated and fished the football out of his goal, and before this goal, he didn't even have many opportunities to be on camera.

Feng Xiaoting walked over and patted him on the head to comfort him. There is nothing the central defender and goalkeeper can do about this goal, and it is difficult for three people to take care of such a large defensive area when the opponent is playing four.

Guangzhou Evergrande's players silently walked back and prepared to kick off again. This goal was like a basin of cold water poured on their heads, making them understand that this is the AFC Champions League final, the opponent is definitely not a weak team without resistance, this is a 180-minute final, and they will never be able to kill the game in 30 minutes.

Guangzhou Evergrande's players did not have much fluctuation in psychology, and in the AFC Champions League, they did not try to concede the goal first, but they were able to overtake the score with strong attacking power.

This time is not surprising, this season's strength has given Guangzhou Evergrande players more confidence.

When the game resumed, Seoul FC defended more thoroughly, and all their players on the field retreated to half the pitch to defend, even striker Deyang returned to midfield to participate in the siege of Conca.

However, their defence was not a big bus in the usual sense - if they retreated into the box and let Guangzhou Evergrande cross, they had no one to keep Li Qingshan's header at bay.

Seoul FC's defense is a defense that is aggressively pressed in the half, and every Guangzhou Evergrande player who receives the ball will be posted by at least one Seoul FC player, making it difficult for him to pass forward, even on the wing.

This suffocating pressure did make it difficult for Guangzhou Evergrande's attack, but with skillful passing, Guangzhou Evergrande still mobilized the Seoul FC defence through constant passing to create some chances.

In the fifteenth minute, Muric managed to get past a defender on the flank, and before the opponent's second defender could come up to defend, he rubbed the ball into the box. Li Qingshan jumped high in the box and headed home from close range. The ball is refracted in the air and flies towards the near corner of the goal.

Even many Guangzhou Evergrande players are ready to celebrate the goal, Zeng Cheng can see clearly in the backfield, he has raised his hands high, ready to celebrate the team's equalizer.

However, the golden dragon jumped forward and used his fingertips to shoot this close header out of the bottom line!

"Ahhh!!!hh Golden Dragon !!!!!!! The Korean commentator shouted frantically, "Look at it! The strength of the Republic of Korea's number one goalkeeper!! ”

Just a minute after that header, Elkeson fired another cold shot from outside the penalty line, which was saved by the Golden Dragon.

After falling to the ground and saving the ball, Jin Longda stood up and clenched his fists and roared, judging from his several saves, he was in very good shape today.

As the saying goes, a good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team, the goalkeeper is the last line of defense of a team, and a goalkeeper who is in full form is definitely a striker's nightmare.

If a goalkeeper goes crazy, it seems that any shot can be saved. In a game, there are not many absolute chances to score, and if the goalkeeper saves a few must-score chances because of his state, then this can greatly affect the trend of a game.

Lippi's brow is now furrowed even deeper, Seoul FC's tactics are no different from what he expected, except for the surprise move in the opening game that he expected, Seoul FC's overall tactical tendency is still defensive and counter-attacking.

It's nothing, and what he's worried about now is that the goalkeeper looked quite excited today, with a couple of thrilling saves so far in the opening period.

A goalkeeper played well, enough to top the previous team. If it's just a few saves of the ball, it's nothing, there is no problem with their tactical arrangement, the team's attack is well organized, the only problem is that if the opponent's goalkeeper continues to play bravely, this will greatly enhance the defensive confidence of Seoul FC, once their confidence is raised, Guangzhou Evergrande will be difficult to play this game. That's what worries Lippi, and what he hopes most now is for the team to equalise as soon as possible, otherwise the game may have to be complicated and full of twists and turns.

But it backfired, and the game went on for almost 30 minutes, and Guangzhou Evergrande still couldn't break through the goal of the Golden Dragon's big handle.

In the thirty minutes of this half, people saw that Jin Longda kept making saves and constantly blocked Guangzhou Evergrande's shots.

"Golden Dragon!! Pretty!!! ”

In the thirtieth minute, Li Qingshan rarely pulled out of the penalty area and made a long shot, he adjusted slightly and then picked up the primary color of his right foot, and the football flew to the tenth corner of the goal like a cannonball, which was a theoretical dead end. But I saw the golden dragon flying and pounced, blocking the football with both arms!

And this shot has been the only shot of Guangzhou Evergrande in the last five minutes, due to the brave play of the golden dragon, so that Seoul FC's defense momentum, under the advantages of the other, Guangzhou Evergrande's attack began to become timid.

Li Qingshan, who was saved again, kicked the air depressedly, he has been very active today, but the opponent's goalkeeper is like a ghost, no matter what kind of attack he makes, he will always be saved by the opponent.

He muttered a national curse in a low voice, venting his depressed mood.

Then run back into the box to meet the corner.

Lippi's brow furrowed deeper.

What the hell.......
