Chapter 365: Crying Gwangju(1/5)
"Well played!"
"Well done!"
"come on!"
"Hold on for another thirty minutes!"
"Victory is definitely ours!"
During the rehydration time, which was not considered a break at all, the substitute players and masseurs came to the battle to massage the cramped muscles of the players.
Jin Chi and other coaching staff also grabbed their respective players and nagged them.
Everyone looked at Zeng Zheng, waiting for him to say something.
It wasn't until the referee's whistle sounded, urging all the players to return to the field, that Zeng Zheng slowly took out his right hand from his pocket.
"No matter what the outcome is."
"You are all heroes."
"Go for it!"
"For your persistence and the vision in your heart."
"Go and fight for another thirty minutes."
"World Cup..."
"Don't give me any regrets!"
...
"Okay, fans and friends in front of the TV."
"What you are watching now is the overtime match between China and South Korea in the quarter-finals of the World Cup."
"After 90 minutes of competition between the two sides, the result of the game was a 2-2 draw."
"According to the rules of the World Cup, the game will enter a 30-minute golden goal overtime."
"As long as a goal is scored in overtime, the winner will be determined immediately."
"Golden goal overtime is also called sudden death overtime."
"Both warring parties dare not be careless about such rules."
Since the start of the World Cup, this is the second overtime game played by South Korea and the first game played by the Chinese team.
In terms of physical reserves, the Chinese team still has an advantage in this aspect.
In the 93rd minute, Sun Jihai broke through from the right and passed from the bottom line. Zhang Yuheng jumped up from the back post and headed the ball into the near corner from the edge of the small penalty area.
But the linesman raised his flag early, indicating that the ball had already crossed the baseline before Sun Jihai passed the ball.
However, judging from the slow-motion replay of the scene, the ball was only pressed on the baseline and did not go out of bounds as a whole.
In the 96th minute, referee Meike stopped the game and asked Li Tianxiu to take off his metal necklace.
It was the necklace around his neck that caused a seven to eight centimeter scratch on Zhao Junzhe's arm.
After emergency treatment by the team doctor, the bleeding was stopped.
Subsequently, Zhaojun's direct free kick from 30 meters away missed the left post.
In the 98th minute, Zheng Zhi fouled Ahn Jung-hwan 20 meters in front of the goal.
Li Tianxiu's free kick went over the wall, but also went over the crossbar.
After that, Jin Tou Lao Mao's long-range shot from outside the penalty area was weak and was tightly hugged by Li Yunzai.
In the 101st minute, Yang Pu threw the ball hard from the right, and Yang Chen volleyed with his right foot 10 meters away from the goal.
The ball hit the far post and bounced into the field. Zhang Yuning shot over from a small angle. The Chinese team once again missed a golden opportunity to end the game.
A few minutes later, the two teams changed sides and entered the second half of overtime.
In the 109th minute, Huang Shanhong turned around and shot low at the front of the penalty area. Ou Chuliang fell to the ground in time and dived sideways to confiscate the ball.
In the 110th minute, Li Tianxiu counterattacked and passed from the right.
Huang Shanhong shot at the back post, but Ou Chuliang dived hard and blocked the ball.
In the 111th minute, Zhang Yuheng's high-speed intervention was once again mistakenly judged as offside by the linesman.
If looks could kill, this Nico would have been dismembered into pieces by now.
At this point in the game, the two sides have already passed the conflict stage.
You must know that conflict is extremely mentally and physically draining.
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
As long as they are not really injured, no one will waste their energy by speaking.
Looking at the performance of the South Korean players, it is obvious that Hiddink did not arrange any more "delaying time" tactics.
In the eyes of the Dutch coach, a formation like 343, which is full of offense, is too shameful to play lying grass tactics!
In the 115th minute, there was finally a turn for the better.
Taking advantage of the Chinese team's failed free kick, South Korea once again launched a quick counterattack.
After the ball came to Park Ji-sung's feet, facing Oh Sung-young who was panting and just defensive, Park simply changed direction and accelerated and passed the former.
At the same time, Park Sam-fei's long-lasting physical ability was vividly highlighted.
In a zoomed out shot.
The Chinese players were indeed trying their best to chase back and defend, but they just couldn't close the distance with Park Ji-sung.
After another change of direction to pass Zhang Yuheng, Park Sanfei cut into the middle and was about to rush into the penalty area.
At the critical moment, Zheng Zhi rushed over from the side.
This villain with a national reputation directly knocked Park Ji-sung, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, to the ground.
"Beep!!!"
The whistle sounded.
The moment they heard the whistle, all the South Korean players gathered around.
"Penalty kick!"
"Penalty kick!"
"Referee, this is a penalty!!!"
Park Ji-sung pressed half of his body on the penalty area line.
Even most of his body was in the penalty area of the Chinese team.
Judging from the situation on the scene, what is this if not a penalty kick?
But the problem is that Park Ji-sung rolled on the ground several times after being hit.
You can’t really count this, can you?
Faced with the aggressiveness of the players on both sides, Meike, who was involved in many controversial penalties in this game, was also one of the top two players.
Just when he was about to make a penalty.
Park Ji-sung, who was knocked to the ground, suddenly got up from the ground.
He pointed to the place where Zheng Zhi committed the foul before and shook his head to express his position.
"Beep!"
This time, Meck, who found the backbone, blew the whistle directly.
Seeing that it was a free kick, all the Chinese fans breathed a sigh of relief.
On the coaching bench, Jin and Chi were still yelling.
"Go to hell!"
"If you dare to award this ball a penalty kick."
"I'll blow up your international bead curtain!"
...
However, even if it is a free kick, this position is extremely dangerous.
Close to the penalty area line, the straight-line distance from the goal is less than 20 meters.
Ou Chuliang leaned against the far goal post, holding hands in the air and directing the wall.
The six tall Chinese players standing on the human wall were tightly packed together, covering their crotches with their hands.
Not only must he listen to Ou Chuliang's command behind him, but he must also use small steps to retreat little by little under Meck's urging.
Every time he takes a step back, Ou Chuliang will update his positioning requirements.
