Vol 5 Chapter 23: Desperate Korean fans?

The Chinese team became the key content of the Chinese media after the three consecutive victories in the group, because the Chinese team won three consecutive victories in the group stage for the first time since participating in the sixth Asian Cup in 1976. The best result achieved was also the unbeaten result of the group stage.
In addition, the Chinese team passed 462 times in the third round of the group match against Palestine, which is the most in the current half of the Asian Cup group match. With the strong and weak stage of the group stage, the game ended in full, four games 1 / 4 finals, two semifinals, two three, four finals and one final are unlikely to have a team can pass more than 462 halftime passes, which means the Chinese team and Palestine halftime pass The number of will become a major record in this Asian Cup.
Coupled with the end of the curse of winning Saudi Arabia, the Chinese team's Asian Cup group stage is a record after another.
The record may not be a bonus to the Chinese team's impact on the Asian Cup champions, but it is a great encouragement for Chinese fans.
The 2014-2015 season continues in La Liga. During the three group matches held by the Chinese team, Real Madrid drew 1-1 away from Valencia after the winter break. The next two league games and a King of Spain The Cup 1/8 finals all won, and Tang Zheng also gave a lot of stability, so that he can put all his thoughts on the Asian Cup.
According to the schedule, if the Chinese team can enter the final, Tang Zheng will miss all of Real Madrid's January games, and Real Madrid's remaining opponents in January are not enough to threaten Real Madrid's position in La Liga and the King's Cup.
They were the second round of the 1/8 final with Granada's King's Cup, consecutively challenged Getafe and Cordoba away, and then faced the Royal Society at home.
Affected by the World Cup, the league schedule was squeezed. A week of double matches is a normal result. Fortunately, Tang Zheng ’s teammates in Real Madrid are in good shape, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just won the FIFA Golden Ball, is a Real Madrid winning streak. The biggest hero.
In this way, the pressure on Tang Zheng's body naturally dropped a lot, and he can pay more attention to the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo and other teammates also used text messages to tell Tang Zheng that national glory ... is above all else!
The first quarter-finals to be played were Australia and Uzbekistan. By virtue of home advantage, the host Australia finally defeated the Central Asian wolf Uzbekistan with the veteran Cahill alone in a two-for-two to win the semifinals.
The quarter-finals of the Chinese team and the South Korean team are the second quarter-finals of the current Asian Cup. The venue is the Chinese team ’s two-game victory at the Brisbane Stadium, which is also used by the media and fans. Call it the blessed land of the Chinese team.
But in the end, whether they can beat the South Korean team to advance to the semi-finals depends on the specific play of the players.
What is very different from the two group matches that won the game is that the Brisbane Stadium, which can accommodate 52,500 people, is no longer occupied by Chinese players, but it has formed a resistance against the Korean fans under the division of Australian local fans. .
However, the color of the home jerseys of the two teams is red. If you do n’t distinguish between the national flag, the banner and the flag, you ca n’t see that the stand players belong to the two camps.
However, it is impossible for the teams to wear the same color jersey, because that will cause the game to become extremely chaotic and directly increase the referee's judgment.
Of course, there is no need to worry about this aspect. The Chinese team has a certain advantage in qualifying for the group first, that is, they can wear traditional home color jerseys, while the South Korean team has to wear away white jerseys.
It is worth mentioning that the coach of the South Korean team, Stielik, was very low-key before the regular press conference. He said in an interview with the Chinese media: "The Chinese team with three consecutive victories is very strong, and they met in the quarter-finals. It is very unfortunate for us, but fate has chosen us, and we should fight. As for the final outcome, it can only be decided by God. "
The Chinese media are satisfied with Stilik's low profile, but the Korean media and fans are very dissatisfied.
Even if the overall strength of the Chinese team is now stronger than the South Korean team, they do not allow the head coach of the national team they support to admit.
What if the strength is not enough?
Can't you just do it?
※※※
The second quarter-finals of the Chinese team and the South Korean team took place at the Brisbane Stadium two hours after the quarter-finals of Australia and Uzbekistan. It can accommodate 52,500 people in Brisbane The stadium was fully occupied two hours before the game, and the entire stadium was almost occupied by fans in both sides wearing red shirts.
Only neutral fans wearing shirts of different colors in the middle serve as the middle demarcation point, but on closer inspection, it is still possible to distinguish which side is Chinese fans and which side is Korean fans.
An hour before the start of the game, the starting lineup of the two sides appeared on the official website of the AFC, and the major media also got the starting lineup of both sides of the game for the first time.
The Chinese team and the South Korean team both offered the strongest lineup, and the official formation submitted by the Chinese team was 451.
The goalkeeper is Yan Junling who plays for Dortmund. The four defenders are Li Xuepeng, Feng Xiaoting, Ren Hang and Zhang Linpeng. The five midfielders are Zheng Zhi, Tang Zheng, Lu Liang, Hao Junmin and Sun Jingbo. Gao Lin is at the forefront of the striker.
The South Korean team submitted an official formation of four, three, three, the goalkeeper was Jin Zhenxuan, and the four defenders were Jin Zhenzhu, Jin Yingquan, Guo Taihui and Jin Changzhu.
The three midfielders are Park Zhuhao, Ji Chengyong and Nan Taixi, and the three forwards are Sun Xingmin, Li Tingxie and Li Genhao.
"Aoao--"
As time passed, the frenzy of the Brisbane Stadium became more and more fanatical, and the loud deafening cheers could even be heard clearly in the residential buildings a few kilometers away.
It is not difficult to see that the fans of both parties are looking forward to this game.
Previously, the Chinese team had two group matches at the Brisbane Stadium, and the first knockout stage game was played in this 'blessed land'. It also brought some psychological advantages to the Chinese fans, so the cheers erupted than South Korean fans are more confident.
Although South Korean fans are full of confidence in the South Korean team, they are also worried that the Chinese team will play a normal level, or even play at a super level. At that time, it will be very difficult for the South Korean team to win the game.
You know that the Chinese team was sixth in the Brazil World Cup last year, while the South Korean team did not qualify.
In addition to the Chinese team's front attacker, except Gao Lin, he is playing in the five major European leagues. Lu Liang, Hao Junmin and even the Bundesliga giants are the main force. Sun Jingbo also basically stabilized Celta at the age of 18 The starting right-wing position.
Tang Zheng, the biggest star of the Chinese team, was the winner of the 2013 FIFA Golden Globe Awards. If it wasn't for the 2014 FIFA Annual Awards Ceremony that Tang Zheng had no way to go to the scene, it is likely to defend the FIFA Golden Globe Award.
Tang Zheng is also the biggest star in Asian football and has the ability to absolutely determine the outcome of the game.
In this case, the South Korean team's odds of winning do not seem high.
"Aoao Aoao--"
The chief referee of the China-Korea Warfare Enforcement was the Asian Golden Whistle Ilmatov from Uzbekistan. Under his leadership, both players entered the stadium from the player channel. The fans on both sides of the stands subconsciously created a huge cheer for this knockout. The enthusiasm of the fanaticism is added.
"Beep ~"
A series of necessary procedures of the international competition are completed. When the referee, Imatov, blew his whistle after the watch, indicating that the China-Korea war officially started!
"CCTV, CCTV, viewers and friends, welcome you to watch the live broadcast of the second quarter-final of the 16th Asian Cup in Australia in 2015, wearing a red jersey and red shorts is the Chinese team , They attack from the left side to the right side of the broadcast ... "
At the same time, Yang 5 commentator He Wei blurted out.
The Chinese team with a kick-off advantage did not rush to drive the ball to the frontcourt, but played control football under the deliberate control of Tang Zheng.
Stilik seems to have targeted deployment early in the game, and did not oppress in the first place, choosing to retreat to halftime defense.
The defensive midfielder composed of Tang Zheng and Zheng Zhi has strong frontal defensive abilities and an obvious organizational role on the offensive end. Especially when the football is at the foot of Tang Zheng, his broad vision and passing accuracy are torn by the Chinese team. An important offensive method of the opposing defense.
South Korea ’s head coach Stilik naturally knows that, so the four, three, and three formations he played are more like a variant of the forty-one formation. The positions of Sun Xingmin and Li Genhao are not like wingers. In fact, they are more like two wing guards. Degree is more defensive than offensive.
The Chinese team ’s offensive organization is smoother than last year ’s World Cup in Brazil. The midfielders, Tang Zheng, Zheng Zhi, and Hao Junmin are very close together, plus Lu Liang and Sun Jingbo, South Korean players There is no way to hit the football near the midfield even with high pressure.
Instead of consuming a lot of physical energy to do useless work, it is better to focus more on the defensive end and wait for the opportunity to fight back.
Sun Xingmin has made rapid progress in the Bundesliga these two seasons, and has gradually become a Leverkusen core offensive player. He has a strong counterattack ability. If the South Korean team has a chance to break the Chinese team's goal, Sun Xingmin's chance is the greatest.
Five minutes before the game, the Chinese team had an absolute advantage on the field, and the ball control rate reached 75%. The South Korean team had a poor 25% ball control rate, and most of the ball control time was in the midfield and backcourt, but Brice Korean fans at Ban Stadium did not lose their confidence because of this. They firmly believed that the national team they supported could find a chance to fight back quickly with very little ball control, and then defeated the Chinese team in one fell swoop to advance to the semifinals ...
People have dreams, especially Korean fans.
In the seventh minute, the Chinese team won the first shot of the game.
Tang Zheng suddenly accelerated and stopped abruptly about 40 meters from the bottom line of the attacking right rib. He opened Chengyong to get a pass, and then lifted his right foot to make a long pass.
The football has a clear arc from outside to inside in midair, flying to the South Korean team's restricted area, bypassing the heads of the double centrebacks Guo Taihui and Jin Yingquan, and falling to the right rib of the South Korean team's restricted area. The dive drove the ball towards the goal.
Fortunately, goalkeeper Jin Zhenxuan was very focused and flew sideways to block the ball from the goal post on the left side of the screen.
Corner kick!
Lv Liang, who did not score a goal, was a bit frustrated, but instead of being discouraged, he raised his fists and fought for himself, striving to help the national team break the deadlock in the next opportunity!
Tang Zheng made a killing pass with a precise long pass. This time, the Korean corner defense team became extremely nervous.
Because Tang Zheng is not only capable of passing the ball, but also the positioning ability of the ball.
In the Bundesliga, La Liga, UEFA Champions League, and even the World Cup, there have been records of scoring and scoring goals, so Korean players did not dare to neglect, and even head coach Stilik couldn't help standing at the edge of the coaching command area.
If it weren't for the fourth official's reminder, he didn't know that his nervous upper body had touched the sideline.
The corner kick taken by Hao Junmin was too far behind and too far away from Tang Zheng's position. Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, who were ambushing at the back point, failed to grab the landing point. The football was pushed out of the penalty area by Sun Xingmin who was not dominant in height.
Korean fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief, while Chinese fans subconsciously hugged their heads with both hands, and looked very sorry.
Indeed, in the face of the South Korean team's more conservative half-time defense, long-range and set-point offense is a rare goal opportunity for the Chinese team. It is almost once less wasted when there is a clear advantage in height.
Of course, this time Tang Zheng failed to get to the football and Hao Junmin ’s footwork was not controlled well. After all, the CIA started less than ten minutes, and the foot feeling has not been completely found. : "With the deepening of the game time, I think our players will be getting better and better, and there will be more and more chances of scoring, so fans in front of the TV don't have to worry!"
In the subsequent games, the Chinese team won multiple shots, while the South Korean team only got one shot.
This attacking opportunity can be said to be a hard-won opportunity for a quick counterattack. The football quickly passed from the backfield to Sun Xingmin who participated in the attack in time, but Sun Xingmin did not take the ball for a long time, and it didn't feel good. Zheng Zhi of China chose a blind long shot 35 meters from the door.
Since the long shot is blind, the effect naturally goes without saying, flying directly to the second floor stands.
"Hahaha--"
So much so that the Chinese fans at the Brisbane Stadium laughed hugely, mocking Sun Xingmin's "clearance" shot.
Feeling the laughter coming from the face, Sun Xingmin was very upset, but he had no choice but to deal with the ball just because he didn't think about how to do it after all.
But ... if there is a chance ~ EbookFREE.me ~, the Chinese fans in the stands must be desperate!
But the game hasn't waited for the Chinese fans to despair, but the Korean fans who were worried about watching the ball were the first to despair ...
Tang Zheng, who has delayed organizing the offense, rarely had the opportunity to directly participate in the attack forward, so South Korean players committed the problem of watching the ball but not watching the people.
Lu Liang suddenly passed Li Genhao and Park Zhuhao on the left side of the attack and suddenly passed the ball with his right foot to the middle. The live guide suddenly switched the camera. A Chinese player wearing a red number ten jersey appeared on the broadcast screen. .
Tang Zheng led the ball forward with his right foot, stopped the football without making any adjustments, and lifted his right foot 28 meters away from the door.
"Tang Zheng!"
"damn it!!"
At the same time, central 5 commentator He Wei and South Korean SBS sports TV commentator Li Minhao spoke in unison.
The only difference is that He Wei shouted and Li Minhao exclaimed.
