In fact, Cui Kangxi "misunderstood" the Chinese reporter.
Before that game, Cui Kangxi was not the only one who was stimulated. Lippi, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande at the time, was also deliberately irritated by reporters.
At that time, a reporter asked Lippi: "The Italian team lost 1-2 to the host South Korea in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and lost the opportunity to enter the quarterfinals. Lippi's head coach is Italian, and of course there are still active players in the team.
Italian international Diamanti, what do you think of that game?"
It is clear that such an issue is intended to arouse the anger of both parties.
Lippi was also extremely unhappy at the time, and he directly responded: "I was not the coach of the Italian team at that time. I played South Korea as my opponent in the AFC Champions League, with Jeonbuk Hyundai and FC Seoul.
The teams have played against each other many times, and playing against these Korean teams has left me with good memories.”
Therefore, if others do not welcome all the questions from Chinese reporters, it can only be said that there are many S.B. reporters in the country who have ruined the whole pot.
However, it can also be seen from Cui Kangxi's answer that he is indeed a very characterful person. When he later asked the media whether he would return to China to coach, he also answered with certainty: "The agents of China and South Korea
People seem to have been manipulating this matter, but I want to say that I am not interested in teaching in China. I want to build an earthen building and live in Bongdong (the name of a place in North Jeolla Province, which is also the origin of Choi Kangxi's nickname Bongdong Village Chief).
"
Compared with Cui Kangxi's indifferent attitude towards Chinese reporters, although Zhang Sheng cursed these S.B.s in his heart, he still had to answer their questions with a smile on the surface. After all, Cui Kangxi is a Korean coach and can not abandon the Chinese reporters. Zhang Sheng
But no, these reporters have no other abilities, but they are very capable of getting things done, especially people like "famous reporter" Zhao Zhen.
Not only did China attach great importance to this game, sending out the commentary team of He Wei and Xu Yang, South Korea also paid great attention to it. SBS TV station, one of the three major TV stations in South Korea, also sent their top commentators.
Group: Host Baek Sung Jae and South Korean football commentator Park Moon Sung.
As the head coach, Zhang Sheng is quite confident in this key battle, because now the Longteng team can be said to be strong and strong, no one in the team is absent, and the players' physical fitness is in the best condition after the last round of rotation.
.
In the starting position, the forwards are Nie Jiang, Pato and Ben Arfa, the midfielders are Tao Wentao, Lin Feng and Roque Gill, and the backs are Zhou Zhou, Xiao Yunfan, Lu Zhihui and Ma Yongli. Only in the
For the goalkeeper position, Zhang Sheng insisted on taking Huang Dawei, while Zhou Wei sat on the bench with a depressed look on his face.
Not only did He Wei and Xu Yang question the arrangement of Hwang Dae-wei as the goalkeeper, but even South Korean commentator Park Moon-sung also pointed out that Hwang Dae-wei is likely to be the key to Jeonbuk Hyundai's victory this time because the player is too young.
Xu Yang said very directly: "To allow such a young goalkeeper to start against Jeonbuk Hyundai in the AFC quarter-finals, I am really worried about whether his experience is enough."
Park Wencheng also said: "The Longteng team arranged a player under the age of 18 Huang Dawei as the goalkeeper. This is a player of the Chinese National Youth Team. In fact, they also have players like Zhou Wei who have been selected for the Chinese national team. It is a pity that the latter
He performed poorly in the league some time ago and was placed on the bench, so we can try more shots in this game. The inexperience of the young goalkeeper is a big drawback."
It seems that Park Wencheng did a lot of homework before the game and carefully searched for recent information about the Dragons.
After the opening, the Longteng team began to take the initiative to attack very confidently, and did not stick to the half-court defensive counterattack like other Chinese Super League teams.
Bai Shengcai was also very surprised by the way the Longteng team played: "Our opponent today, the Longteng team, is an upstart in the Chinese Super League. They are called another 'Evergrande'. There are world-class players like Pato and Ben Arfa in the team.
According to the Chinese, they are a wealthy team. But few Chinese Super League teams adopt high-position pressing tactics when facing Jeonbuk Hyundai. It seems that they are very aware of their frontcourt strength.
Have confidence."
Park Wencheng mentioned Nie Jiang: "This team is not only great with foreign aid, their forward Nie Jiang is not yet 18 years old this year and is already a main player of the Chinese national team. He played in the East Asian Cup some time ago.
I scored two goals in one game against Japan."
"But facing our Korean team composed of K-League players, he had nothing to do." Bai Shengcai proudly praised his national team.
However, the two Chinese commentators seemed very low-key. He Wei analyzed several threatening players of Jeonbuk Hyundai: "Today Jeonbuk Hyundai's main forward is Li Tongguo. This is a very experienced veteran. He
The threat on the front line is very great. As for their midfielder, they have Asia's top foreign players like Leonardo. The Longteng team must pay attention to his midfield organization and set pieces. Finally, there is their other midfielder, South Korea.
The national team player Lee Jae Sung is another rising star coming out of South Korea."
The three players pointed out by He Wei are indeed very capable.
Speaking of Li Tongguo, many fans may not be familiar with this name, but as long as we talk about his name before he changed his name, not to mention the fans who are familiar with the Korean team, even the fans who are familiar with the Chinese national team have to say that Li Tongguo was very familiar with it before he changed his name.
His name is Li Dongguo, and Chinese teams, both club and national team, have suffered from him.
As a star who became famous at a young age, Lee Tong-guk, who was born in 1979, played in the 1998 World Cup in France, making him the youngest player in the history of the Korean team to play in the World Cup.
He not only won the MVP and top scorer of the K-League, but also won the title of best player of the Asian Cup.
However, he had a very bad experience in the middle of his career. He suffered a lot of injuries from participating in too many games. He was excluded from the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan because he was not liked by the then Korean coach Hiddink.
He was in good form in the 2006 World Cup and was expected to participate as South Korea's main center. However, a serious knee injury caused him to miss the World Cup again. It was not until 2010 that he was selected for the national team to participate in the World Cup again.
And his name was changed in 2007, when he was at the lowest point of his career. It is said that it was to change his "luck". At that time, after joining Middlesbrough in the Premier League, he failed to score a single goal in 9 appearances.
However, his shots hit the goalpost many times, and he was rated as one of the worst signings in the Premier League by some British media.
In addition, in 2007, he and his teammates were caught sneaking out of the team to drink at night, so they were kicked out of the national team, which made him determined to change his name.
However, after he changed his name to Li Tongguo, his luck really improved a lot. After transferring to Jeonbuk Hyundai in 2009, he has always maintained a high attendance rate and scored a lot of goals, also in the AFC Champions League.
Against Guangzhou Evergrande for three consecutive years, he scored three goals in a row.
And Li Tongguo also performed very well in this game.
In the eighth minute of the first half, the Longteng team's high press in the frontcourt was destroyed by Jeonbuk Hyundai. Leonardo received the ball on the left and found him with a beautiful pass. He made a beautiful stop in the penalty area.
The ball got rid of Lu Zhihui in an instant, and then Li Tongguo shot a powerful shot straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Huang Dawei, who was making his first appearance in the AFC Champions League, was very focused. He pushed hard with his legs and dragged the ball with his palms.
Out of the crossbar.
A sharp counterattack by Jeonbuk Hyundai almost resulted in a goal.
This attack reflected the tactic Cui Kangxi wanted to play most - long pass after counterattack, and Leonardo and Li Tongguo also used this tactic.
Although Li Tongguo's shot did not score a goal, it still shocked Zhang Sheng because this Korean player was so good at scoring goals against the Chinese team.
Zhang Sheng had experienced his prowess when he was still in the Magic Water youth team.
At that time, Zhang Sheng, Li Gang, and Li Jinyu were all teammates. Although Zhang Sheng later left the Magic Water Youth Team, they were against this South Korean who scored two goals for his previous home team in one game in the qualifiers of the National Olympic Team.
The center's memory is still fresh in his mind.
Seeing this attack, South Korean commentator Park Moon-sung felt very sorry: "The shot, Lee Tong-guo, oh! It was saved. The goalkeeper of the Longteng team is only a player who is less than 18 years old. This save is too crucial."
Already."
As for the Chinese commentator He Wei, he felt extremely lucky: "Li Tongguo unloaded the ball beautifully in the penalty area and shot. Huang Dawei, Huang Dawei made a contribution. This young player made a beautiful save in his first appearance in the AFC Champions League.
"
Xu Yang also said: "Before the game, the Longteng team arranged main players in various positions. The only goalkeeper was Huang Dawei. Although he is the main goalkeeper of the National Youth Team, he is too young. I was still thinking about this before.
The starter in his position is worried. Now it seems that coach Zhang Sheng has his own considerations in letting him play."
In the ensuing corner kick, Zhang Sheng loudly kicked the players on the field to alert them to Li Tongguo's header.
As expected by Zhang Sheng, even if the Longteng team's defenders tightened their surveillance on him, Li Tongguo still grabbed the first point of Leonardo's corner kick in the penalty area. Fortunately, Lu Zhihui followed him very closely this time.
, Li Tongguo's header missed the goal slightly due to Lu Zhihui's interference, and the Longteng team escaped another disaster.
Park Moon-sung felt particularly sorry for the consecutive missed opportunities to score goals. At the same time, he also praised Li Tongguo vigorously: "Li Tongguo's header, shoot! Oops, it missed the goal again, and he hit the goal twice in a row."
They all come from Li Tongguo. It seems that he is in extremely good condition. Although he is as old as the head coach of the Longteng team, from the performance point of view, he is still very threatening. This is the glory of our Korean football.
.”
He Wei expressed his concerns: "The Longteng team was grabbed by Li Tongguo in the penalty area twice in a row. This shouldn't be the case. We mentioned before that he is a very threatening player. Now it seems that the Longteng team
The players on the team didn't take him seriously and let him take it too easy."
Zhang Sheng on the sidelines felt that the real threat was Jeonbuk Hyundai's foreign aid Leonardo who passed the ball twice.
Li Tongguo and Leonardo are currently the two highest-paid players in the Jeonbuk Hyundai team. Li Tongguo's annual salary is 1.11256 million won (approximately 6.119080 yuan), which is the highest among local Korean players.
Leonardo's annual salary is 1.29634 billion won (approximately 7.129870 yuan), which is the highest among Korean foreign players.
Li Tongguo did it because of his seniority (South Korea’s special national conditions, the older the seniority, the higher the salary), fame and household registration, while Leonardo completely relied on his own ability to speak.
However, this also largely reflects the status of the two of them in the team, as well as Jeonbuk Hyundai's position in the K-League - an absolute giant.
As the first foreign player with the first annual salary in the Korean K-League, Leonardo's strength is beyond doubt.
Leonardo was also selected as one of the top 100 rising stars in the world when he first debuted in Brazil. He was also an absolute selected player for the Brazilian national youth team and scored 5 goals in the Brazilian U20 national team.
After that, Leonardo moved to the Greek giant AEK Athens. He was the team's top scorer in the league and also performed well in the Europa League. If AEK Athens hadn't been relegated due to various complicated reasons, he might not have come to Asia.
.
Previously, the Chinese Super League team Changchun Yatai wanted to buy him in the 2012 season, and in the middle of the league, they sold the absolute core of the team Du Zhenyu to make room for him. As a result, Jeonbuk Hyundai paid 50,000 euros more than the offer price to buy him.
, it can be said that his strength is still very strong.
Moreover, a large part of his own improvement in abilities was due to Cui Kangxi's training.
His progress is due to the gradual transformation of his career in Jeonbuk over the past few years.
When he first came to Jeonbuk Hyundai, he only showed that he was fast and skilled, but his confrontation ability was very poor - mainly because of his poor physical fitness.
Now, under the training of Cui Kangxi, his physical fitness has been greatly improved. At the same time, the balance advantage of his left and right feet makes him very difficult to guard on the court, whether he is cutting in and hitting the goal, or he is crossing with his left foot.
They are all of a very high standard.
As for the right foot, Jeonbuk's fixed tactic is that he starts with his right foot at a 45-degree angle on the left to find the landing point, and the two previous foreign aid forwards Edu and Eninho plus Li Tongguo grab the spot.
Moreover, Leonardo also took all set kicks in Jeonbuk, often scoring when the team could not break the deadlock.
Historically, when playing against Shanghai SIPG in the 2016 season, Jeonbuk Hyundai, which had been attacking without success, scored the first goal, which gave the team reassurance. In the next AFC Champions League semi-final against Seoul FC, he scored a goal in the first half.
He scored twice, and in the finals he scored two more goals. So this is a player who is both technically and physically good, and he is also a player with a very big heart.
