Chapter 128: The same threat
Ji Chengyong received a yellow card, which would result in his automatic suspension of the next game. But this is the next game after all. If the Korean team cannot win the Chinese team at all, then naturally there is no need to worry about the suspension of the next game.
The most important thing is that less than twenty minutes after the game started, Ji Chengyong, the main midfielder, actually had a yellow card. How did he play in the next game?
If you take another yellow card and get sent off directly if you turn two yellows and one red, will you be finished?
So for Ji Chengyong, this yellow card is like playing a Monopoly game. The character carries a time bomb. Every time he rolls the dice, the character will be closer to the result of the explosion.
This will make him unable to do his best to defend Gao Zheng in the next game, thus making him a breakthrough for the Chinese team's offense.
In fact, all this may be avoided if Ji Chengyong did not step on Gao Zheng's foot...
"Ji Chengyong may think that he can provoke Gao Zheng to anger him and make the strongest player in the Chinese team lose his calmness. But in my opinion, he is just tempting crazy on the verge of committing death. It is obvious that he succeeded in committing death. Ha!" This sentence came from Wang Xiang, a commentator of Sina's live broadcast platform.
The environment of online live broadcast platforms and CCTV is completely different. There is not much attention to commenting on the game. You can laugh at Korean players as much as you like, regardless of whether it will cause diplomatic events.
So what Wang Xiang said was very sarcastic.
However, many Chinese fans who choose to watch this game online like to listen to such sarcastic commentary.
※※※
In the first 17 minutes, the Chinese team had threatened the Korean team's goal many times, and even gave their captain a yellow card.
The South Korean team has no decent offensive at all. Son Heung-min is also the top star in the team, so he basically has no performance.
During this period, the Chinese team has completely gained the upper hand.
The Chinese fans in the stands were also very powerful, and kept singing to boost the morale of the team.
This makes the Korean team look very embarrassed.
The captain was completely suppressed under the single fight with Gao Zheng, and he was like a clown who was fooled by Gao Zheng.
The morale of the South Korean team was hit very seriously.
In the next game, when Gao Zheng got the ball, he was kicked down by another midfielder Park Joo-ho, the Korean team.
This is a foul that can't play football at all, it's a foul that rushes to someone.
So the referee showed Park Joo-ho another yellow card, and Park Joo-ho, who received the yellow card, seemed very angry and dissatisfied. If his teammates had not come up to pull him up, he might have received the second yellow card immediately because of his verbal confrontation with the referee and was sent out...
However, the results are not much better now. In this game, the two Korean midfielders both received a yellow card on Gao Zheng early. As an important midfield barrier, this result made every Korean fan worried.
Because if the midfield barrier cannot play its due role, the South Korean team's defense will be forced to face the Chinese team's offensive directly...

In the 27th minute of the first half, but when Gao Zheng got the ball in the middle, he faced Ji Chengyong again.
After several previous contests between the two, everyone can't help but wonder if Gao Zheng came to Ji Chengyong on purpose again.
When facing Gao Zheng, Ji Chengyong also acted as if he was facing a great enemy, but he did not rush forward quickly.
However, this time Gao Zheng did not play tricks on him anymore. Instead, after attracting Ji Chengyong to his side, he distributed the football to Ren Xing who was stuck on the side.
After Ren Xing got the ball, he directly crossed to find Wu Lei in the penalty area.
The football was pushed out by Kim Young-kwon and flew to the top of the free throw arc where Gao Zheng was.
Gao Zheng, who was originally planning to get into the penalty area, stopped and turned around to catch the ball.
Ji Chengyong hesitated for a moment and decided to lean on it, keep a reasonable distance from Gao Zheng and prevent him from turning around. He didn't have hands and feet and put it on the ground. He was worried that once he had physical contact with Gao Zheng, the Chinese would fall to the ground again, and then he would have another yellow card. This game was completely in a mess...
But he didn't put it on as soon as possible, but Gao Zheng had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Ji Chengyong, behind Gao Zheng, saw Gao Zheng lift his right foot and go around the left foot that supported his body, knocking back the heel of the football that fell to his left!
The football flew past him, but because the distance was too close and too suddenly, he didn't react at all and could only watch the football jump behind him.
He quickly looked back and saw a scene that scared him. The football rushed into the space in the penalty area, where there was Wu Lei, the No. 7 striker of the Chinese team, and at the same time, there was not a single Korean player by his side!
He raised his hand reflexively and signaled the referee and linebacker Wu Lei to offside.
But he didn't hear the whistle, and instead was a huge cheer.
"Gao Zheng! Beautiful heel pass! Wu Lei!!"
In the place where Ji Chengyong didn't see, his teammates were actually standing further back than Wu Lei. Although they rushed up after seeing Gao Zheng passing the ball, it was too late to go back when Gao Zheng passed the ball, which led to Wu Lei not offside at all. And now they pressed up, which gave Wu Lei the opportunity to face goalkeeper Jin Zhenxuan directly!
This is an excellent one-on-one opportunity!
Wu Lei stopped the ball and turned around, and saw the Korean goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun who had just abandoned the goal.
Obviously, Kim Jin-hyun didn't expect Gao Zheng to suddenly pass the football to Wu Lei with his heels, and he was not prepared for this.
So now in front of Wu Lei, there is a huge goal and a goalkeeper who is attacking.
Kim Jin-hyun opened his arms, but he couldn't cover the entire goal area.
In Wu Lei's eyes, even those with big goals can drive.
He kicked the ball and he kicked the ball to the upper corner of the far end.
The football flew over from the attacking goalkeeper Kim Jin Hyun. Kim Jin Hyun was powerless and made a save, but it was too late that the ball had already passed by him and rushed towards the goal!
Then, in the horrified eyes of all Korean fans, the football plunged into the net.
"Wu Lei! Wu Lei!! Beautiful! The Chinese team took the lead in the 28th minute! Wu Lei took the lead for the Chinese team! 1:0!" He Ping and Xu Yang shouted excitedly.
Ji Chengyong was still holding his hand, but the referee clearly gave the gesture of "the goal is effective" and pointed to the middle circle!
Chapter completed!
