Chapter 134 Only ten minutes left
After the game started again, Perrin walked to the sidelines and kept making gestures, requiring the Chinese team to push forward the overall formation, putting pressure on the South Korean team.
However, the South Korean team took advantage of the Chinese team's formation and had many empty opportunities in the backcourt, and continuously played to allow diagonal passes to penetrate.
Wu Xi made a mistake when protecting the ball in the middle and was intercepted by the Korean team and launched a counterattack directly.
Cai Hui tackled Son Heung-min while returning to defense, which gave him a yellow card.
In the previous game, he had already received a yellow card, and the latest information was also played at the bottom of the TV screen. Under Cai Hui's name, a line of words was played: "Absent the next game."
"Cai Hui is going to miss the next game! If we can still make the next round"
"Now I'm afraid there is no way to consider whether it will be suspended in the next game. We can first enter the next round of the game!" Xu Yang said anxiously.
The Chinese fans in front of the TV are both anxious and helpless. The anxiety is because the team is behind, and the helpless is because they can't help much. Moreover, according to the game situation, the South Korean team still has the advantage.
Soon Son Heung-min passed the football diagonally to the left side of the penalty area, Lee Tingxie headed the ball to the front of the goal, and Lee Gen-ho shot against Wang Xiaolei who was attacking, and the football was slightly higher than the crossbar. It scared the Chinese fans out of cold sweat. If this ball was scored, the Chinese team, which was two goals behind, could basically be declared dead.
A minute later, Son Heung-min got a chance in the Chinese team's penalty area again. He suddenly turned and shot with his back to the goal. Zhang Chengdong, who was defending closely behind him, did not expect Son Heung-min to shoot like this. He didn't react at all and just watched the football fly over him.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaolei, behind him, focused, fell to the ground and rushed to the side, and thrust the football, and finally got out of the bottom line.
After this corner kick was taken, the Korean central defender Kim Young-kwon headed the ball in front of the goal and was saved by Wang Xiaolei again!
"Wang Xiaolei made a contribution! He saved the Chinese team's goal again! The South Korean team's offensive was very strong during this period. The Chinese team did not create a threat after pressing forward. Instead, it allowed the South Korean team to seize the opportunity. It would be very dangerous to continue to launch threatening attacks like this!" He Ping said worriedly.
"But at this time, we cannot shrink the defense again because we need to score goals," said Xu Yang. "If we shrink the defense because we are afraid of being scored, then even if the South Korean team does not score in the next round, their tactical purpose will be achieved, so we must grit our teeth and hold it back during this period!"
The Chinese players on the court were indeed frightened by the Korean team's repeated bombings, so when the ball fell to their feet, they were a little hesitant and refused to step forward. If they didn't pay, they would give less support to the frontcourt, and basically they only rely on Gao Zheng to fight the entire Korean team alone.
Seeing this, Gao Zheng waved his arms and asked his teammates to press forward.
Zheng Zhi understood why Gao Zheng did this, and he could not be pushed back by the Korean team's counterattack momentum.
So he pretended to pass the ball, but suddenly pulled the ball forward, then accelerated forward, and threw away the Korean team's defensive player!
Zheng Zhi's sudden forward jump immediately attracted the attention of other Korean players. Two more players came up to block Zheng Zhi. Seeing this, Zheng Zhi passed the football forward and passed it to Gao Zheng.
When Gao Zheng was about to catch the ball, he adjusted his body towards him and pretended to catch the ball, but he swung a shot and gave the football in front of him. At the same time, he turned around. Then he did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the football!
"Gao Zheng's long-range shot!!"
The football flew towards the goal, and there was a significant drop, forcing the Korean goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun to fly up and leaned back to lift the football out of the crossbar!
"What a pity!!" He Ping shouted. "Gao Zheng shot beautifully! But Jin Jin-hyun made a wonderful save!"
Xu Yang quickly said from the side: "Although the ball was not in, Gao Zheng's shot was like a war drum, which would surely inspire the fighting spirit of other Chinese players and let them see that we can still threaten the Korean team's goal, rather than being passively beaten!"
Although the ball did not enter, Gao Zheng, who had shot the goal, did not feel sorry at all. He raised his arms and kept waving to the stands, signaling the Chinese fans not to remain silent, shouting, cheering for them, and stirring up the atmosphere.
Sure enough, the Chinese team fans, encouraged by his shot, won consecutive victories in the stands and shouted: "Chinese team! Chinese team! Chinese team! One!"
The Chinese players also gained courage from Gao Zheng's performance. Gao Zheng's condition is still online. So what else do they have to be afraid of?
Gao Zheng's shot not only boosted the morale of the Chinese team, but also told the Korean team not to forget him. He could still threaten the Korean team's goal. If they continue to besiege the Chinese team's goal unscrupulously, it depends on who is the first to score the ball.
The Korean team can look down on the Chinese team, but there is no way to look down on Gao Zheng.
They can use the space behind the Chinese team, and the Chinese team can also use the space left by their attack.
So next, their offensive slowed down a lot compared to before.
They were strictly guarding Gao Zheng, trying not to let Gao Zheng enter the penalty area, and not giving him the opportunity to directly threaten the goal.
Gao Zheng doesn't care about this. Anyway, he is not the kind of player who can only threaten the opponent's goal in the penalty area. He can pull out long shots or organize an offense.
He is an all-rounder in the frontcourt.
Seeing this, Perlan made a substitution and replaced Gao Lin with Yu Hai and asked Yu Hai to play the center, but did not arrange a specific position for Gao Zheng. Everything depends on his own performance and he can go wherever he wants.
In this way, even if Gao Zheng withdraws from the penalty area, the Chinese team will not have a single support point in the penalty area.
Gao Zheng can also find the target pass if he wants to pass the ball.
Moreover, Yu Hai has good heading ability, which is really urgent. The Chinese team directly crossed the ball from the side, and someone can also grab the header in the middle.
Sure enough, after the retreat, Gao Zheng became more active after leaving the intensive defense of the South Korean team in the penalty area.
It is difficult for South Korean defensive players to keep up with his pace.
Gao Zheng is not a player with absolutely fast speed. His feet are very good, so he doesn't need to have much space to play. Even in a small place, he can move around and keep the football from losing.
And most importantly, he also has excellent free kick scoring ability. If a Korean player is impulsive and fouls against Gao Zheng, then Gao Zheng will get a very good free kick in front of the Korean team's penalty area.
Therefore, when the Korean players defended Gao Zheng, they were careful and did not dare not to step on their feet, but they did not dare to step on their feet easily.
Facing Gao Zheng, the South Korean team can only tie the fences at the front of their own penalty area, and neither football nor Gao Zheng people are allowed to come in easily.
Force the Chinese team's offense to develop to the wing, and even if the Chinese team crosses the wing, the threat to the South Korean team's goal is much smaller.
At the same time, under the leadership of Son Heung-min, the South Korean team also fought back from time to time, threatening the Chinese team's goal, making the Chinese team's full-back dare not frequently intervene in assists.
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate.
The scene was very stalemate, and the score seemed to be stuck in glue, and never changed again.
In this stalemate, the game time has come to the last ten minutes.
In the 80th minute, the Chinese team was still behind with one goal.
Chapter completed!
