Seeing the way the Dragons played on the field, Shao Shengyi was also a little strange: "The Dragons are 21 in this game. It's very strange. I have commented on the Dragons games several times before. They are a team with very strong attack power."
As a team, most of the time they will rely on their strong footwork to control the rhythm of the game and then attack. Although the Longteng team can still hold the ball in the midfield and backcourt today, they rarely break into the opponent's backcourt.
In the 3o meter area, it seems that the injuries to Ivo and Shu Jun have put a lot of pressure on the Longteng team."
There were not many fans from Ulsan Hyundai who came to watch the game. Only less than 5,000 fans came to the entire Ulsan Munsu Stadium. Many of them were Chinese students studying in South Korea and migrant workers in South Korea, so it was very clear on the court.
Hear the cheers of "Go Long Teng" and "Long Teng will win".
This is also the current situation of the Korean K-League.
In fact, whether in South Korea or Japan, football is not the number one sport. As a country that has long been influenced by the cultural export of the United States and has long had American troops stationed, it is obvious that the development of sports has also been influenced by the United States.
Among all professional sports in the United States, American football or rugby ranks undisputed first, while baseball, as the "national pastime" of the United States, ranks second. As for basketball, it has been competing with ice hockey for the third place.
As for the third position, football is considered more of a "girls' sport".
American football is not suitable for Asians to participate because it requires a very strong physique and physical fitness, while baseball does not have so many physical restrictions. Therefore, whether it is Japan or South Korea, baseball is the unshakable number one sport in their countries.
, football can only take second place.
The Korean Football League actually followed the Japanese Football League. In the early days, before football was professionalized, the Korean Football League was also established after the Japanese League. After professionalization, the K-League was also established second after the J-League.
It was established in 2001 and can be said to be following Japan's footsteps.
So when it comes to the choice of sports, the baseball league that once won the Olympic championship has taken away a large number of viewers, and football can only be ranked second.
Another point that is very fatal for the K-League if you want to imitate the Japanese J-League is that Japan has a large number of powerful companies, and they can provide financial support to many J-League teams, while South Korea has very few large-scale companies.
, Samsung, Hyundai, LG, SK, Hanjin, Lotte and Posco, several large consortiums basically monopolize most of the Korean market. Even if these companies all like football and participate in investment, they can only feed a few.
There are only professional teams, and other teams are very citizen-oriented teams. Without financial support, there will be no good results, and without big-name foreign players, there will not be many spectators.
Then there is the small area and insufficient population of South Korea, which means that the cities where the K-League teams are located do not have enough population base to watch the games. At the same time, Korean people are famous all over the world for their dedication to work, and they like to work overtime very much.
, and the K-League kick-off time is basically 7:30 in the evening, which makes it not allowed for those fans who want to go to the game, so unless it is a rest day, most of the K-League games are students who have finished class in the morning
.
Finally, because the Korean league has not had a promotion and relegation system for a long time, some small clubs mainly live in dawdling, do not care about winning or losing, and even engage in gambling and selling balls. This has also directly affected the attraction of professional leagues.
strength and attendance. Except for Zhang Wailong’s successful counterattack led by Incheon United in 2007 and Zhao Guanglai’s rise to power with Gyeongnam FC in the first half of 2010, citizen teams rarely have outstanding results. This can explain why Zheng Mongkui served as the president of the Korean Professional Football League in 2012
Since then, the "disclosure of club wages" has been collectively boycotted by citizen clubs, because they have no determination to compete and are only trying to maintain local self-esteem. This is terrible, and it is also the key to affecting the attendance of Korean football.
factor.
However, the low attendance rate of the Korean K-League has also given the Chinese team a great convenience. Unlike South Korea, which has very fanatical opposition to Japan, when the Japanese team comes to South Korea to play the AFC Champions League, there will be a large number of Koreans.
Come to the stadium to cheer for the team. Because China and South Korea do not have much grievances, and the Chinese team rarely performs well against the Korean team, and the game is not exciting, and it is difficult for Korean fans to watch and face each other.
The Chinese team is not interested in playing games. On the contrary, a large number of Chinese studying and working in South Korea will come to the stadium to help the Chinese team cheer.
The same is true for this game. Amid the cheers of Chinese fans, the Longteng team controlled the ball very calmly in the midfield and backcourt. Facing the high-position pressing of Ulsan Hyundai players, the Longteng team players used a very beautiful kick to release the ball.
Passing and receiving the ball firmly controlled the ball at his feet. Although Ulsan Hyundai's players seemed to be very fierce in grabbing and running very actively, the effect was not very good.
In order to change this situation, Ulsan Hyundai players began to think of various ways to find opportunities. At the 11th minute of the first half, Ulsan Hyundai forward Ryu Junsu tried to find opportunities through a breakthrough in the second half of the Longteng team. Facing
Ryu Junsu's breakthrough and Kanter's blocking were very accurate. Ryu Junsu's breakthrough was easily blocked by Kanter. However, faced with such a clean steal, Ryu Junsu deliberately fell to the ground and then got up.
He complained to the referee and wanted to cheat a free kick in the frontcourt, but this performance was too childish. The referee shook his head and rejected his request, and warned him not to dive.
But Ryu Junsu did not stop there. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Ulsan Hyundai once again hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Ryu Junsu made an exaggerated move and fell to the ground during the fight with Ma Yongli, trying to cheat a penalty kick.
.This action was seen through by the referee again, and he was decisively shown a yellow card.
Thinking of what head coach Cao Minguo said before the game about the lack of experience of the Dragons players, Liu Junxiu felt that he had been deceived. The opponent's players moved very cleanly on the court and had rich experience in the game. They did not try to fake their own moves at all.
With the shaking, I didn't suffer at all in the physical confrontation. I really had no good solution.
After overcoming Ulsan Hyundai's opening three blows, the Longteng team found that the opponent was not as strong as they were in the league and AFC Champions League, and began a tentative attack.
In the 27th minute of the first half, the Longteng team reached Ulsan Hyundai's half through a series of quick passes in the midfield. Once they reached the 30-meter area of Ulsan Hyundai's backcourt, the Longteng team suddenly accelerated their attack speed and passed the half-time.
Midfielder Lin Feng suddenly accelerated the pass and played a one-two against the wall with Mahrez on the right. Then Lin Feng very suddenly transferred the ball to the left. Yu Bo, who had the ball on the left, gave the ball to
Xiao Yunfan stepped forward from the edge.
Now Xiao Yunfan had the opportunity to attack. As a forward who had played for ten years, Xiao Yunfan was very experienced in facing the opponent's defender alone. He decisively chose to break through into the penalty area.
Xiao Yunfan's breakthrough was very decisive. Ulsan Hyundai's right back Li Rong did not expect that Xiao Yunfan, a player who the head coach told him before the game would be hit hard, would play so decisively. Li Rong seemed a little prepared to face Xiao Yunfan's inward cut.
Not enough, Xiao Yunfan made a breakthrough and suddenly entered the penalty area.
Seeing Xiao Yunfan entering the penalty area so easily, Ulsan Hyundai's entire defense was shocked. Right center back Jiang Minshou quickly came over to fill the position, and Jiang Minshou's choice was very reasonable, which was to come and block Xiao Yunfan's near-corner shot, because
Wenkai was guarded by Park Donghyuk in the middle, but he underestimated Xiao Yunfan's determination to attack. Xiao Yunfan didn't even think about passing the ball. As a player who has played so many forwards, he directly made an arc with his right foot.
Xiao Yunfan showed the striker's good shooting skills. The ball went through a very beautiful arc and went straight to the right post of the goal.
Facing Xiao Yunfan's shot, Ulsan Hyundai goalkeeper Kim Seung-kyu had no reaction at all. When he saw the ball was about to fly into the goal, Kim Seung-kyu, who was still standing, gave up, but the ball actually hit the goal post and bounced.
After coming back, Jin Chengkui, who only reacted at this moment, quickly hugged the ball that bounced over.
Seeing the Longteng team's attack on the court, Shao Shengyi also felt very sorry: "Xiao Yunfan's attack was very good. He attacked from the side and directly penetrated Ulsan Hyundai's right side. In the end,
That shot was completely a striker’s shot. If this goal can be scored, the game for the Longteng team will be very good.”
Zhang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, also applauded Xiao Yunfan vigorously, then gave Xiao Yunfan a thumbs up and shouted: "Well done, this shot is very beautiful!"
Xiao Yunfan nodded to Zhang Sheng with a smile on his face.
After the Longteng team's attack, the Ulsan Hyundai players immediately became more vigilant, because the Longteng team was obviously not as weak as head coach Cao Minguo said. They were extremely stable in defense and very well-organized in offense. They were completely
This is not the strength that a team ranked fourth from bottom in China should have.
Cao Minguo also clearly noticed the error in his judgment. He made a downward gesture to the team, asking the team to play steadily and stop rushing to attack. The players on the field also responded.
After the kick-off, Ulsan Hyundai's players no longer attacked the Longteng team's defense so directly, but patiently moved in the midfield to look for the Longteng team's openings.
At this time, the Korean team's strong tactical execution ability came into play. After receiving instructions from the coach, their defensive stability was well demonstrated. Although the Longteng team had certain advantages in the midfield, they faced
Ulsan Hyundai players' stable positioning and good defense ability did not give them many opportunities, and Lin Feng, who was at the core of the midfield connection, was also looked at badly. Although Lin Feng ran a lot, he still could not have as good results as before.
