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!
"Iran is a strong team in Asia and is still undefeated in Group A. It will be very difficult to face them away from home."
Iran remains undefeated with 4 wins, 2 draws, and still tops the list with 14 points. South Korea is still ranked second, but their results are 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, with only 10 points.
With one less player and now two goals behind, this basically declares that the Korean team's defeat tonight is a foregone conclusion!
"...Crap, just in this game alone, the Koreans have done so many bad things, let alone the next game they play in Spain."
The national team has gone from being a weak team that suffered repeated defeats (one draw and three losses) to an invincible strong team today (two consecutive wins). The difference during this period is not too big.
After the Dragon State team defeated the South Korean team today, they were only three points behind them. Considering that there are still four games to come, the points between the two may become the same.
Now, the Dragon Country team has regained hope of qualifying, and the hearts of all Dragon Country people are also full of hope!
"Not to mention the changes in tactics and psychology, what is even more gratifying is that the national team's offensive firepower is getting stronger and stronger, and such an offensive line is also composed of young players."
The Korean team was a little stunned.
"No matter how much you talk, it's useless. Let's meet at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran!"
——
The next day, major media in Asia retweeted Stillik and Pan Yi's remarks after the game.
If this side does not control the ball, the control will naturally be transferred to the Dragon Country team.
"It's strange that yesterday's game was not held in South Korea. If it was like the 2002 World Cup, it would probably be said that Lin Liangming was lying on the ground blocking the progress of Korean players and committed a foul..."
Uzbekistan failed to seize the opportunity to overtake South Korea after losing, ranking third with 3 wins, 2 losses and 9 points.
"It's very simple. I now think that the Dragon Nation team is very competitive in this group. It is not that simple for Iran to score points on the Dragon Nation team now. I even think that the Dragon Nation team will join the battle from now on to compete.
A quota for direct qualifying from the group.”
This current South Korean national team is called the strongest Korean team in history by the Korean media because it has many players who have played in the five major European leagues. It is also known as the strongest team in Asia. All Koreans place their hopes on this team.
They have high hopes and believe that competitions within Asia can no longer satisfy them.
Losing both games and losing people, the Korean team can definitely be said to have suffered a crushing defeat.
Of course, this was also authorized by the coaching staff.
There is no doubt that they have no intention of stopping.
Defeating the South Korean team with three goals, it completely witnessed the end of Koreanphobia and the rise of this Dragon Country team!
"So, as long as we persist and fight with this belief, we can defeat any opponent, at least within Asia."
Finally, Stillik said that he was willing to accept the decision to be dismissed, and he now felt relieved that he had not seen for a long time.
Of course, this is also a way for the Koreans to shirk responsibility: the loss is all because of you, an incompetent German coach, and has nothing to do with me, the Korean players!
In an interview with reporters, Stillik said generously that the loss to the Dragon Country team was all his responsibility, and he had long been prepared to be dismissed if he did not win.
"I had a problem with my formation from the beginning, so I tried to correct it at halftime, but I couldn't."
"Yes, after the direct confrontation with the Dragon Kingdom team, I have a new understanding of the overall strength of the Dragon Kingdom, especially the deployment of the coaching staff and on-the-spot command capabilities. Um... Okay, I won't pretend anymore, I
I have always been a fan of Pan Yi!"
Of course, Longguo domestically scoffed at such remarks, and then started to criticize them online!
"Yeah, Lin Liangming didn't bleed, so how can it be considered a heavy kick? It has to be like what happened when South Korea played Italy in the 2002 World Cup, when Yoo Sang-cheol broke Italian defender Keke's brow bone with an elbow during a corner kick, causing Keke to have a headache.
Breaking the blood stream is considered a foul."
After the game last night, the streets were filled with fans carrying big flags, singing and dancing.
Almost every corner was celebrating this hard-won victory.
Jin Xinyu, a high center forward, has very obvious advantages and disadvantages. In this game against Long Guo, his advantages were not fully utilized, but his disadvantages were fully exposed.
"At present, the Iranian team is relatively stable, but whether it can qualify in advance will have to wait until they play the Dragon Kingdom team in four days."
For the Korean media, of course they first pointed the finger directly at Stillik.
This led Stillik to replace him in midfield to make up for the shortcomings of his starting tactics.
This time, Zhang Yuning, the hero of the goal, was replaced and replaced by Yu Dabao.
Finally, before the end of the game, which was almost the last minute of injury time, Wu Lei crossed to the right, was fouled, and got a free kick.
Especially the Dragon Country team, which was originally the least promising, after two consecutive victories, although it is still ranked fifth, it is only 3 points away from the second-place South Korean team!
The Korean team obviously did not expect that they would get into such a melee in this group, especially the 0:3 loss to the Dragon Kingdom team, which was unacceptable to all Koreans!
So, just two hours later, the latest news came: South Korean team coach Stillik was dismissed!
Although it is still ranked second, it has not opened up the gap with the following teams.
For the South Korean team, this goal was tantamount to disaster.
"Just a yellow card warning will be enough. Didn't Lin Liangming play again later? It means he didn't play so hard!"
"Tsk tsk, talking about that game, there was more than just this one without a foul. When Korean player Kim Tae-young was defending the breakthrough of Zebra Prince Piero, he knocked him to the ground with another iron elbow. The referee Moreno still said
It doesn’t matter, the game continues.”
"The thing that impressed me the most was when Maldini fell to the ground after making a clearance in the penalty area. South Korean player Lee Cheon-soo, who obviously couldn't kick the ball, hit Maldini in the head with the force of his shot. Maldini immediately fell to the ground in pain.
For such an almost murderous move, referee Moreno still signaled no foul and the game continued."
"No amount of gorgeous words can describe our current excitement. In the end, we can only condense it into one sentence: Thank you, Pan Yi!"
——
Pan Yi opened the curtains in the hotel room and looked out at the street.
Sprayed back and forth, thousands of words condensed into one sentence, that is "stick is shameless, stick is SB"!
In addition to criticizing the Koreans, the fans of the Dragon Kingdom also praised their national team.
"It can be said that they set a trap for me from the beginning. I can only say that whether it is Lippi or Pan Yi, their abilities are indeed far superior to mine."
"If a few months ago I had said that I would be more optimistic about the Dragons getting the top two spots in this group besides Iran, you would have thought I was crazy, but it's the truth."
However, after the substitutions were completed, the Long Guo team still took the offensive initiative.
"These few elements are the key to making them stand out in the group. In addition, don't forget that before they made such great progress, they drew with Iran in the first round."
Only when the center has the confidence to score goals can he kick the ball with energy, and can the frontcourt offense really come alive!
Then Stillik added: "What I also want to say is that the coaching staff of Longguo obviously knows my players very well. Whether I use Jin Xinyu or Huang Hecan as the center, they always have corresponding ways to deal with it."
This is the second time that the Dragon Kingdom has defeated South Korea with such a score, but it is the first time that it has defeated its opponent in a major event such as the World Cup qualifiers!
In addition, the other player who scored the first goal, the captain Zheng Zhi, was replaced at the same time, and replaced by Cai Huikang to maintain the interception ability of the midfielder.
Even though the night has passed, you can still see celebrating fans on the street. Some of them party all night long, while others only come in the morning.
"Here, I am not trying to defend the players, but I want to say that we were under too much pressure in this game, which made our players lose control of their emotions, which ultimately led to the red card in the second half."
Such a popular scene has only appeared once in the history of Dragon Country football.
"After the transformation of Lippi and Pan Yi, the Long Guo team has made great progress in the past few months. They performed very tenaciously in the game and were very capable of tactical execution. They also have many players with strong personal abilities."
Although he would see fans celebrating all night long when he won the championship in Milan, Hamburg, and Chelsea, the feeling was completely different from now.
At this time, the set-piece tactics practiced by the Long Guo team before the game also came in handy.
Secondly, the emotion here is stronger than that of club fans, because it is the kind of emotion with national pride. It can be said that there is more to it than just football.
"So, keep working hard!" Pan Yi said secretly, and then prepared to go downstairs.
As a reward for yesterday's outstanding performance, today's international players can move freely in the hotel and meet their families by the way.
The team will take a lunch break after lunch and then take a charter flight directly to Tehran in the afternoon to prepare for the game against Iran four days later.
This will be another key battle that can determine the fate of both sides!
