"They have nothing to be afraid of! We are just one goal behind!" In the South Korean team's locker room, South Korean captain Ji Chengyong was cheering his teammates.

However, judging from his performance of being completely suppressed by Gao Zheng in the first half, he was really inconvincing about what he said...

At this moment, Son Heung-min stood up and took the captain's words: "The captain is right. They had another goal to hit the crossbar in the first half. Perhaps in the eyes of the Chinese team, this means that their offense is a threat. But I don't think so: as long as there is no goal, it is not a threat. On the contrary, I think that the shot hit the crossbar is a good sign, indicating that their offense will end here! What's important is that we are only one goal behind, and as long as we work hard in the second half, we can change the situation! Just one ball is needed, and we can get the advantage back to our side!"

Son Heung-min said so many things that surprised his teammates, because in their impression, Son Heung-min is not the kind of person who likes to talk endlessly and talk nonsense in the national team. Sometimes, he is even a little shy.

Now, looking at his passionate look, it seems that the captain's armband is wearing on his arm...

"And the most important thing is that they have such a big advantage in the first half. The Chinese players must be very proud now and think it's only a matter of time to defeat us. Then let's give them some excellence in the second half, so that they know that 'Hong Kong-phobic syndrome' is not that easy to cure!"

Son Heung-min waved his hand vigorously and made a final decision.

During the intermission, the atmosphere in China was really relaxing.

The relevant leaders who accompanied Gao Zheng's parents to watch the game at Gao Zheng's home shook hands and talked with Gao Zheng's parents with a smile on their faces. They thanked them for cultivating such excellent players for the country, and made a decision on the spot that they could raise any difficulties and that they could solve them.

Gao Zheng’s parents said that everything is good now, and there is no difficulty, so they will not cause trouble to the government.

Then the leader and Gao Zheng's parents chatted about home. The reporters kept pressing the camera shutter around the three, and the camera lens recorded all this scene, and perhaps it would appear in local news tomorrow.

Feng Shiyao and Xiao Yingying were sitting in front of the TV, each holding a mobile phone and browsing Weibo. From time to time, the two were amused by the talented jokes from the sand sculpture netizens and the sand sculpture pictures they pried out.

Director Zhao and Guo Wei were also very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese team in the first half. They talked enthusiastically about the highlights of the Chinese team in the first half.

But when they were having fun chatting, Yang Wenlong suddenly snorted: "It's only half a game, don't be too happy too early! We only lead one goal. The Korean team is not a soft persimmon. I think the second half is the most important thing!"

"Oh, Lao Yang, don't be too serious. No matter how you say we are leading one ball, this is our advantage..." Guo Wei said.

Yang Wenlong shook his head: "No, just lead by one ball. If the opponent can equalize the score, the situation will immediately turn to them. Their morale will rise, and the Chinese team will be hit, resulting in a low morale or something. If you make another mistake, it will probably go from leading in order to falling behind one ball."

"Isn't that unlucky?" Guo Wei asked.

Yang Wenlong nodded: "It is better to be blindly optimistic than to be blindly optimistic. Of course, I don't want to be so unlucky, but who can tell the things on the football field right?"

Guo Wei, who was originally very happy, couldn't laugh after Yang Wenlong said this. He thought for a while and said, "I think Perrin can see such an obvious thing, right?"

"It's one thing to see whether the players can really realize it is another thing. Otherwise, there would be no word "underestimating the enemy" in this world." Yang Wenlong snorted.

In the locker room of the Chinese team, Perrin was warning his players with a serious look on his face: "The Korean team must think we will celebrate in the midfield and think we think we will win. If they are willing to think so, then let them want to go! But the most important thing is that we can't think so. Don't think so. Don't think so in the first half, but we only lead one goal, which is the biggest hidden danger. If the opponent scores a goal, the score will be equalized... So be careful in the second half and don't concede the ball first..."

How could Perlan not consider the issue that Yang Wenlong considered?

Naturally, he would repeatedly warn his players not to be too happy too early.

In fact, most of the time during the halftime break, Perrin was telling the team this until every player's expression became serious.

The only thing he was dissatisfied with in the first half was that he had the advantage but only scored one goal. It would be great if he could kill the game in the first half.

Of course, it's good to be able to lead one ball, but be careful not to give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Remember, always keep your focus and don't give them the opportunity to take advantage of it! We will celebrate after the game is over!"

Before the second half of the game started, Gao Zheng and Wu Lei stood in the middle circle while stepping on the football, preparing to kick off.

He found that someone in the opposite Korean team lineup seemed to be staring at him.

He soon saw the person staring at him, because among the group of people opposite him, the eyes of that person were the brightest, just like a cat photographed with a flash on.

The person staring at him was Son Heung-min, the leader of the Korean team.

Gao Zheng knew Son Heung-min, but he didn't know much about him, so he was only limited to knowing him.

Now this person is staring at himself with a very aggressive look.

If Gao Zheng had looked in the mirror while looking at Cristiano Ronaldo, he would have known that Son Heung-min's eyes were exactly the same as when he looked at the Portuguese, and he had a beast-like look.

Although the Chinese players did not look down on the opponent because of their advantage in the first half, an accident happened at the beginning of the second half.

Central defender Mei Yuan was injured in the confrontation with No. 7 Son Heung-min and could not hold on to the game. He was forced to replace him in the 49th minute.

So Perrin had to replace Mei Yuan with Jiang Zhipeng. Ren Xing, who played left-back in this game, returned to his familiar central defender position, and Jiang Zhipeng played left-back.

But Jiang Zhipeng had already received a yellow card before this game. If he received another yellow card in this game, he would be suspended and missed the next game. The premise is that the Chinese team can eliminate South Korea and reach the semi-finals.

Now all the Chinese team players who carry a yellow card are on the court.

Fortunately, no one in the Chinese team took the cards in the first half, but the South Korean team, who was one goal behind in the second half, will definitely strengthen their offensive. Faced with their full counterattack, everyone in the Chinese team will be under tremendous pressure. Under this pressure, can they still remain calm and not take the cards?

In addition, if you are worried about losing the semi-finals and are afraid to try your best in defense, what if the Chinese team loses the game?
