Chapter 171: Set-Piece Wins!

The boos in the stands soon stopped, because the Chinese team was ready to take a free kick again!

Lippi also stood up, for Lippi, set-pieces are the key tactics of the Chinese team!

Because reaching the World Cup finals is already a high probability event for the Chinese team, for the Chinese team, the opponent encountered in the World Cup is not the weak team on the Asian side.

Asia is a football desert, and the football level of Asian countries is not to mention that compared with Europe and South America, even compared with North America and Africa, it is also at an absolute disadvantage...

North America has a strong team like Mexico, and even a team like the United States that is not a strong team has also reached the round of 16 in the World Cup, not to mention Africa, African giants such as Côte d'Ivoire and Nigeria have considerable strength!

Even North American and African teams are so difficult to deal with, let alone South America, which has no weak teams, and Europe, which is the center of gravity of football!

Although the World Cup is the most watched football competition, when it comes to the level of the teams participating in the World Cup, it is really quite a big gap.

For example, if the German team forms a team to come to Asia, even if they come to Asia with three or four teams, they can easily dominate Asia!

Football culture, league development level, training philosophy, etc., Europe is a lot higher than other places, and it is no wonder that some people think that the technical level of the World Cup final is not as good as the Champions League final...

Lippi knows best the gap between Chinese football and world-class teams, so for the Chinese team, the only thing that is likely to be cheap against a world-class team like Germany may be set-pieces!

Because no matter how strong other teams are, the Chinese team has an absolute breaking point, this is Li Qingshan!

However, the football game is a game of 11 people, and Li Qingshan alone will definitely not be able to make up for the low overall strength of the Chinese team.

Don't look at the South Korean team in the face of the Chinese team midfield, there is no way to completely control the situation, this is because even if South Korea has a few players who remain in Europe, but his main player framework is still dominated by players who play in the K League and the Chinese Super League, even if the South Korean team has a little advantage in individual strength and overall, but it has not reached the level of being able to completely suppress the Chinese team, in the final analysis, the South Korean team is already a first-class team in Asia, but it is only at the Asian level, compared with the strong teams in Europe, they are still far behind.

The fact that the Chinese team can get a little advantage in the match against the South Korean team does not mean that they can still play a counterattack against the world's best teams.

The more likely outcome is that the counterattack will not be played, and the back line will be destroyed by the opponent first!

Therefore, Lippi has now begun to focus on what approach the Chinese team should take against the world's top teams.

In fact, there is no too advanced way, even a team like the German team, when facing a team that is dedicated to defense, it will have to waste some tricks.

For the Chinese team, if it is unlucky to meet a strong team like the German team, 99.9 percent will not be able to win, if there is still a 0.01 percent probability of winning, it may be necessary to give full play to the advantage of Li Qingshan!

Set-pieces are the best time to give full play to Li Qingshan's power!

The foul was committed on the right near the touchline, about 10 metres from the penalty area.

This position is a bit farther away from a corner, but it is also a position where you can play a set-piece attack.

Sure enough, the attacking players of the Chinese team came up, Yu Hanchao, Wu Lei, and midfielder Wu Xi.

This time, it was Zhang Xizhe who took the penalty for the ball, and Hao Junmin stood in the middle to prevent the attack from being counterattacked by the opponent.

The South Korean team is like a big enemy, and this time they still put the key defensive strength on Li Qingshan.

Because of this goal, the Chinese team is unlikely to shoot directly, it is too far from the goal...

Sure enough, Jang Hee-cheol passed the ball, and the football turned into a big arc in the air, with a violent spin, turned a corner in the air, and flew towards the South Korean penalty area.

Helong Stadium suddenly fell silent, and the fans couldn't take their eyes off the football that flew towards the penalty area.

This is to the top of Li Qingshan's head!

Somehow, the players of the South Korean team felt relieved.

After all, after so long of preparation, if the other party plays another routine, then how should the Koreans deal with it...

Although the threat of sending the ball above Li Qingshan's head is the greatest, the Korean players are ready anyway!

Kwon Chun-tae was standing on the goal line, his eyes were staring at the football flying towards the penalty area, and he didn't dare to attack!

Because there were too many people in the penalty area, the ball was sent near the penalty spot, if Kwon Chuntai wanted to go out to get the ball, he had to rush out of the crowded small penalty area, which was too risky, so he simply stood on the goal line, his whole body muscles tensed, ready to make a save at any time!

Kim Shin-wook and Hong are just two players with excellent headers, and they nervously put their hands on Li Qingshan.

They were ready to jump at any time and interfere with Li Qingshan in the air.

Gao Mingzhen and Ji Chengyong didn't plan to jump, they just waited for Li Qingshan to jump, and then immediately pasted it up, and used their bodies to arch off Li Qingshan's center of gravity in the air!

Of course, Li Qingshan also knows that he is now completely in the encirclement, he is a human being, not a god, if it is really a jump to fight for the top in this situation, he is confident to grab the point, but if it is said to complete a high-quality header, this is not realistic.

Li Qingshan is no longer the stunned young man he was a few years ago, he is now playing more "smart".

Because he doesn't stand still and get completely caught up in the preset defensive tactics of the Koreans – it's not bravery, it's stupidity.

Li Qingshan was originally standing in the forbidden area, and the encirclement of the Koreans had also been formed.

However, after Zhang Xizhe helped him run, Li Qingshan slammed out to the side and jumped out of the four-person encirclement of South Korea.

When the players of the South Korean team were ready to reorganize the defense immediately, Li Qing went straight forward first!

Hong happened to follow in a hurry, and Kim Shin-wook also moved forward.

Li Qingshan, who didn't run straight forward, immediately changed direction and ran backwards after Zhang Xizhe passed the ball!

Kim Shin Wook and Hong just didn't get ready and were got rid of it by Li Qingshan!

However, the South Korean team in the penalty area still has a lot of defenders.

But they immediately found out that the position of the other Chinese team players.... It's completely to help Li Qingshan block a line to the football landing point!

Although this road was quickly disrupted by the more numerous South Korean players, Li Qingshan had already jumped high in the middle and the football had already flown into the penalty area!

It's hard to create a completely undisturbed header opportunity for Li Qingshan, but it's not too difficult to keep him from being surrounded so much!

Zhang Xianxiu and Li Qingshan competed for the header, and the result was naturally a complete defeat......

Li Qingshan smashed the ball to the ground with a hammer! After the football bounced off the ground, it flew into the net from the armpit of goalkeeper Kwon Chun-tae!
