Chapter 363: Li Datou’s Awakening(1/3)
As for the form and score on the field, they were not within the plans of both coaches.
Then the attrition of both sides at the 70th minute greatly exceeded the expectations of the two coaches.
As South Korea's full-back, Kim Tae-young's role is huge.
With a height of 1.87 meters, he has no fear in facing any Chinese players competing for the top.
It was precisely because of him and Cui Zhenzhe sitting in the clinic that Li Yun, who was 1.82 meters tall, dared to leave the door and attack.
Now, one of the twin defense towers of South Korea has collapsed.
Cui Zhenzhe on the other side is alone, and it is easy for the Chinese team to seize the opportunity in the vacant position.
Hiddink was so anxious that he was bald now.
Who can fill the vacancy of Kim Tae-young has become the biggest problem for the South Korean coaching staff at the moment.
"Xiao Zeng, Tie Zi is gone, what should we do?"
Facing the questions from Jin and Chi, Zeng Zheng pointed at Zheng Zhi, who was running all over the field.
"Tiezi is gone, we have him!"
"Otherwise, why would I go up in his place?"
For the Chinese team, Yang Chen took the initiative to retreat and formed a double attacking midfielder with Sun Jihai.
In terms of defensive midfielder, Zheng Zhi took over Li Tie's position.
"Looking at it from a red and yellow card perspective."
"Li Tie had a yellow card on his body, but Kim Tae-young had no card on him."
"Both of them dyed red and left the field at the same time, so we took advantage!"
Jin and Chi looked at each other.
They knew that Zeng Zheng was protective of his shortcomings, but they didn't expect that Zeng Zheng would be so protective of his shortcomings.
Li Tie gave Kim Tae Young a bruised face with these punches, and there might be political issues after the game.
But looking at your calm demeanor, do you still think this is a fight between primary school students?
After the conflict between Li Tie and Kim Tae-young, it was difficult for both sides to remain calm.
Conflicts and quarrels continued.
The 10 people standing on the field were either injured or had cards on them.
It can be said to be a complete lose-lose situation!
Taking advantage of the power of the home field, South Korea gradually launched an offensive.
Zheng Zhi gritted his teeth, resisted with a high pitch, and retreated forward.
It was surprising that after Li Tie came off the field, he supported the Chinese team's backcourt.
In order to stabilize the defense and provide supporting firepower for the offense, Hiddink substituted two players in a row.
Replaced Ryu Sang-cheol with Lee Cheon-soo, and replaced Hong Myung-po with Hwang Seon-hong.
For the Chinese team, Zeng Zheng also played the last substitution card without hesitation.
Xie Hui, who was limping with both legs, was replaced by Zhang Yuheng, who was still tall and tall.
At this point, both sides have exhausted their substitution cards.
If an injured person appears again, the players on the field will have to work hard to support them.
In the 72nd minute, Seol Qi-hyun and Ahn Jung-hwan played a clever one-two at the front of the penalty area.
Park Ji-sung knocked on the instep of Seol Ki-hyun's pass from the street, and Song Jong-kook volleyed with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area and missed the near post.
In the 73rd minute, Sun Jihai took a free kick from the right side. Goalkeeper Li Yun injured his right thigh while jumping up to hit the ball and fell to the ground to rest for nearly a minute.
In the 75th minute, Ahn Jung-hwan threw a sideline ball from the left. Park Ji-sung headed the ball 8 meters in front of the goal, trying to knock on the door guarded by Ou Chuliang with a fantasy back-of-the-head attack.
As a result, the ball went over the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
In the 76th minute, Wu Chengying received the overhead ball and broke into the left side of the penalty area. Facing Cui Zhenzhe who struggled to defend, Wu Chengying forced the ball down, but was severely knocked away by the opponent and fell heavily to the ground. After resting on the sidelines, Wu Chengying
Return to the field and continue playing.
At this point in the game, not to mention the anger, both sides wanted to see the red bayonet.
The ball was out of control.
The two sides inadvertently crossed the midfield directly and used fast long passes to attack each other.
The competition is endurance, and the struggle is perseverance.
It depends on who falls behind in this roundabout run.
The national players fought hard and many of them had their eyes wet with sweat.
In the end, even though my willpower was strong, my lead-filled legs were no longer in control.
In the 79th minute, Zhao Jun broke into the penalty area from the middle and tried to shoot. The ball hit the opponent's leg and jumped up high. Li Yunzai, who was injured and persisted, hugged him high.
I thought that the South Korean goalkeeper would take this opportunity to rest, but unexpectedly, after receiving the ball, Li Yun took two steps forward with his injured leg, put his right leg on the ground, and opened his body like a fully drawn bow.
The ball was thrown instantly.
Whoosh!!!
Seeing the trajectory of the ball in the air, Zeng Zheng on the sidelines also broke into a cold sweat.
"Follow back, chase back!!!"
Chi Shangbin shouted anxiously.
There is no need to arrange how to defend the players.
Just looking at the three-on-two situation in the frontcourt, you know that something is going wrong!
Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi were at the end, forming the last defensive line.
Park Ji-sung and Ahn Jung-hwan hit Huang Shanhong, who had just been replaced, like three steel knives, piercing the heart of the Chinese team.
Behind the three men were four international players desperately chasing after them.
But even Sun Jihai and Zhao Junzhe are far from the above three.
There is nothing we can do about this.
The moment Li Yun threw the ball vigorously, all the players with defensive tasks had to fight back as fast as possible.
At this moment, the South Korean players fully demonstrated their long endurance on the field.
No matter how bad their style of play is and how bad the reviews are.
His tenacity at the end of the game is worth learning from his opponents.
"Stick the position first!"
"Keep your feet off!"
"Don't get passed over!"
"Middle! Middle!"
Ou Chuliang shouted while retreating.
He knows very well.
What does it mean to lose the ball at this juncture?
But facing the menacing South Korean three strikers, Ou Chuliang himself didn't feel confident.
Counting myself, it's only three against three.
This time, it’s really a disaster!
Soon, Park Ji-sung, who was dribbling forward with the ball, passed the first ball.
The ball rubbed Zheng Zhi's heel and rolled sideways to An Zhenhuan's feet.
Upon seeing this, Li Weifeng quickly stepped forward to make up for it, but An Zhenhuan scored with his left foot and quickly distributed the ball to the other side.
At the same time, Ou Chuliang, who had long been ready to attack, moved forward like a tiger descending a mountain and pounced on Huang Shanhong who had not yet got the ball on the other side.
In addition, even Zheng Zhi turned around and ran from the side, trying to form a corner with Ou Chuliang, double-teaming and breaking the ball from Huang Shanhong's feet.
Facing the two Chinese players who desperately rushed towards him, Huang Shanhong, who came on as a substitute, was still not too excited and thought calmly in the shortest time.
Don't expect to knock on the door.
Ou Chuliang tried his best to block the ball even though his face was injured.
Extraordinary?
If he pulls further to the side, even if he passes Ou Chuliang, Zheng Zhi can continue to keep up with the defense.
At that point, this fast attack might fail because of this!
To be continued...
