Chapter 520 Breaking the Curse of Koreanphobia!(1/2)
Author: Ant who loves watching football
After Hwang Hee-chan was sent off, Stillik could only move the two wingers Koo Ja-cheol and Ji Dong-won closer to the center, but the overall formation did not change much, it just became one.
There is no way around this. Even if there is one less player, the Korean team can only fight hard. After all, it is still one goal behind!
The Dragon Country team also made an adjustment, which was to let Yu Hanchao play, replacing Lin Liangming who worked hard today, and continue to maintain pressure on the Korean team from the wing.
Of course, this is also because Lin Liangming was kicked by Huang Xican just now. Although it seems to be nothing serious, it is better to let him come down and take a rest just to be on the safe side.
Yu Hanchao, who just came on the stage, was already known for his "fighting hard" energy. Now that he has finally come up, he is even more energetic and wants to show off.
After only three minutes, he showed his value as a substitute!
He played a one-two with Zhang Linpeng on the wing, broke into the baseline, and then made an accurate cross to find Zhang Yuning in the middle.
Zhang Yuning shook his head to attack the goal again, but this time Quan Chuntai failed to save his shot.
The ball hit the post again, but this time it bounced into the net!
2:0!
Zhang Yuning finally scored!
Under such circumstances, wouldn't it be a good thing to try to gain as much goal difference as possible from the South Korean team that currently has no fighting spirit, and at the same time reduce their goal difference?
This is the real "taking advantage of his illness to kill him"!
Moreover, the historical grievances with Korean football also determine that there is no friendship between the two. Even the Italian coaching staff has no friendship to talk about with them. The more wins they can win, the better!
Only by beating them hard can the three words "Korean phobia" be completely dug out from the depths of the hearts of national football players!
"Every team in this group is very close in strength, and every team is difficult to deal with. And our Dragon Country team faces great difficulties."
So, amidst the shouts of "Three to zero!" "Three to zero!" and "Three to zero!" that filled the entire stadium, the Dragon Kingdom team actually launched attacks against the South Korean team again and again.
Although Pan Yi said at halftime that it didn't matter that Zhang Yuning didn't score, everyone actually knows that goals scored by forwards, especially goals by the center, are still very critical for a team.
With the referee's whistle, the Long Guo team finally defeated the South Korean team 3-0 at home with the goals of Zheng Zhi, Zhang Yuning and Yu Dabao!
"You seem to have made a mistake upstairs. Even though Keke was bleeding profusely and was bandaged before he could continue playing, the elbow was actually not a foul, at least that's what the referee Moreno thought."
For them, this game is not just about three points, the most important thing is to defeat the Korean team, completely breaking the curse of Korean phobia!
Especially the three goals, it is so exciting! Who would think that he scored too few goals when playing against a rival that has suppressed him for many years? If he can score ten, he will definitely not only score nine!
As for the fight for the right to qualify for the group... they believe in Lippi's coaching staff and Pan Yi.
At the bottom of the list is Qatar, which has only 3 points with 1 win and 5 losses.
Pan Yi and Lippi on the sidelines also looked at each other with relief.
"Fuck, the more you talk about it, the angrier I get. Did the referee forget to bring his whistle?"
"Among them, Wu Lei and Lin Liangming were promoted and taught directly by Pan Yi, and they have made such rapid progress!"
"This is still thanks to the efforts of the players. Their technical and tactical execution on the field was very good. Every player held the same confidence and philosophy and was extremely devoted to the game. This ultimately led to our victory at home."
I heard that the Chinese Super League team Tianjin TEDA is looking for a new head coach, why not give him a lead?
Of course, we’ll have to talk about this later when we have time.
At that time, thanks to Yu Genwei's goal, Long Guonan defeated the opponent 1:0 to qualify for the group two rounds in advance, realizing the World Cup dream of several generations of Long Guo football players.
"Without this hard work, without the unity and hard work of everyone on the team, we may have lost hope of qualifying long ago, and we would not be in the current situation."
Their goal is to reach the top 16 and quarterfinals in the World Cup!
However, after six rounds, the Korean team failed to stand out from the group at all.
But the most important thing is the unprecedented confidence they bring to the team.
"25-year-old Wu Lei, 20-year-old Zhang Yuning, and 19-year-old Lin Liangming! They are also outstanding representatives of Dragon Kingdom players playing overseas. They have been influenced by the most advanced football concepts and are more in line with the current country than anyone else.
The team’s requirements.”
"Wrong, he took it. In the 104th minute of overtime, South Korean player Song Jongguo tripped Prince Totti of Rome in the penalty area. Moreno's whistle finally sounded! Everyone thought Italy would get a penalty kick and finally won this game.
In the most difficult match in history, Moreno directly punished Totti for diving and sent Totti off the field... Instead, Italy fought with 10 men..."
Especially the Long Guo team, which they have always looked down upon, not only achieved a 3:0 victory in the direct confrontation between the two teams, but also narrowed the points gap between the two to 3 points, only one game away!
This also made the Korean media feel very depressed and even a little scared!
Combined with Pan Yi's cautious and confident speech, many Koreans began to worry that the current Long Guo team, which had won consecutive victories, was really starting to pose a threat to their qualifying qualifications.
This old German man is quite cute. Even though he has good things to say about Long Guo and Pan Yi, he doesn't even care about the Koreans' blaming behavior. He is really a good old man.
After this goal, the Long Guo team made another substitution.
"It can be said that the emergence of Lippi and Pan Yi has changed the current Dragon Country team. This is no longer the Dragon Country team we knew before."
A complete victory!
——
Four hours after the match between Dragon Kingdom and South Korea ended, the other two games in Group A also ended.
This has already happened, why are you still like this?
Pan Yi and Lippi both know that according to the rules of the World Cup qualifiers, if the points are the same in the group stage, the priority is the goal difference.
"So, for their second confrontation, even though Long Guo is playing away from home this time, I have more reasons to be more optimistic about the Long Guo team."
"Then South Korean player Huang Shanhong was not kind at all. He kicked Zambrotta directly in the crotch and kicked him out of the field, almost annihilating his descendants. In the end, Zambrotta was seriously injured and was replaced. Then... there was still no foul."
The reporter asked him to comment on the current qualifying situation of Group A, and he was finally able to analyze it from a neutral perspective:
Next are Syria, ranked fourth, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, with 8 points, and Dragon Country, ranked fifth, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, with 7 points.
At the reporter's request, Pan Yi first commented on the match between Dragon Kingdom and South Korea. He said that this was a golden victory, and at the same time, it also preserved the Dragon Kingdom team's chance of qualifying for the group stage.
This is because the current Korean team has lost confidence and they no longer have the strength to organize an effective offensive.
"Huang Xican's foul? I can only say that it was a microcosm of our anxiety throughout the game. There is no doubt that we paid the price for our lack of composure."
As for the current qualifying situation in Group A, Pan Yi said that every team still has a chance, and the Dragon Country team needs to continue to work hard and continue to go all out in every game.
"This bad mood affected our entire game. On the other hand, the Dragon Kingdom team played more relaxed and patiently. In comparison, we were a little too hasty."
As expected, the Iranian team defeated Qatar 1:0 in the away game, but Syria also defeated Uzbekistan 1:0 at home!
As a result, after the sixth round, the ranking of Group A did not actually change.
"But I also believe that the national football players are well prepared. They know that the previous two victories were achieved through hard work."
After all, after they entered the national team, the changes in the national football team were obvious to all.
Wu Lei completed the assist, and Fu Yu Dabao also made contributions after coming on as a substitute!
When the free kick was taken, Yu Dabao grabbed the most advantageous position, shook off the defender and headed the ball from close range into the South Korean team's goal.
"What a group of lovely people!" Pan Yi smiled slightly and murmured to himself.
Four days later, the South Korean team had to face a crucial match against Syria at home. At this moment, they fired their head coach, which showed how intolerable they were about the defeat against the Dragons.
With four games left in the game, the situation of this group is actually not very clear yet. Any team may still qualify or be eliminated.
Of course Stillik was talking about using Jin Xinyu in the starting lineup.
"With Pan Yi here, the Dragon Country team has the ability to create miracles!"
——
When reporters brought Stillik's remarks to Pan Yi, Pan Yi smiled.
Although the Dragon Country team did not qualify today and was even ranked fifth in the group, the possibility of not qualifying is still greater;
But this game is of great significance to Dragon Country fans, not even much less than qualifying.
"In addition to tactics, I also admire their ability to adjust the players' psychology. Our players were overly optimistic about the group's situation at the beginning, and became very impatient after encountering difficulties."
They were celebrating this rare victory against South Korea, and it was a big victory! It was a very relieving victory!
This is true in Changsha, and it is true throughout the country.
First of all, it is easier for national football fans to be satisfied. Let alone winning the championship, it is just a win in a game and not even the right to qualify, but everyone is happy from the bottom of their hearts;
It’s really 3:0!
"Yes, we are very happy to have achieved two consecutive victories, but it is not time to be proud. We must now start thinking about the away game against Iran."
Of course, many Korean media also believed that the referee was taking care of the home team in this game. Although Huang Xican's actions were big, he did not deserve a red card.
"Of the remaining four games, we only have one home game against Uzbekistan, and the other three are away games in West Asia. The long journey and the climate there are all a challenge for us."
"Yes, but even with 10 men in Italy, their defensive counterattack is still the sharpest weapon. In the 111th minute, Tomasi received a pass from Vieri, broke into the penalty area and scored a goal! Moreno's
The whistle blew again! Tomasi was offside and the goal was invalid."
That was October 7, 2001, the night when the national team entered the World Cup.
All the friends rushed to him and congratulated him.
This also allows them to accept the applause of the fans in the audience!
