Chapter 1 Twelve Rounds

The Seoul World Cup Stadium was crowded with people, as if a sound wave bomb was dropped, and suddenly exploded, making people dizzy.

Looking around, the red waves in the stands were surging, and the Tai Chi flag was rolling, and the scene was very lively.

Korean players wearing red home jerseys are running towards the corner flag area to celebrate the goal.

This is their third goal in this game.

The one who ran in the front was their goal-scoring hero, No. 13 player Ju Zizhe.

"Gu Zizhe--!! We scored two goals in three minutes!! Well done! We will win!!" The Korean TV commentator slapped the table excitedly in the commentary seat.

The reason he said this is because after this ball, the live score became 3:0, and the South Korean team was leading at home.

At this time, it was already the 66th minute of the game.

What it means to lead three balls at this time? Anyone who is watching the game understands.

CCTV's Chinese commentator He Ping sighed: "...We were panicked after we lost the ball, and there were too many loopholes in the defense line... and our opponent is the Korean team. As long as we give them a chance, they may catch it..."

This is the first game of the top 12 Asian qualifiers in the 2018 Russia World Cup, with the Chinese team challenging the South Korean team away.

This is also the second time that the Chinese team has once again competed in the top 12 games after fifteen years.

Before the game, facing South Korea, which had been defeated in the Asian Cup, China's domestic morale was high. It was believed that under the leadership of Gao Zheng and Wu Lei, the Chinese team could defeat South Korea from the away game, at least tie the South Korean team. In this way, when they return to the home court, the Chinese team can gain an advantage...

Unexpectedly, just two minutes into the game, the team's captain Zheng Zhi accidentally hit the ball into his own goal during a free kick defense, causing the Chinese team to fall behind unexpectedly.

In the 63rd minute of the second half, the Chinese team was not in a tight position on the defense line. The South Korean team took the opportunity to score another goal and rewritten the score to 2:0.

The Chinese team, which was already two goals behind, was completely panicked, so the scene just now came into being.

Son Heung-min broke through the Chinese team's defense line by relying on speed and technology on the left, and Ju Zizhe successfully pushed the ball into the empty goal. The South Korean team scored two goals in three minutes and led by three goals in the 66th minute.

Many Chinese fans were stunned when they saw this scene. They really didn't expect that the Chinese team, which they had high expectations, would perform so badly in front of the Korean team. Where did the Chinese team that eliminated the Korean team in the Asian Cup?

The coach is still the same coach and the people are still the same. Why is the situation completely different?

Many people thought desperately: How can I play this game?

Seeing the ball lost, Wu Lei held his head and looked very guilty.

He had three very good opportunities in the first half. Even if he could seize one of these three opportunities, the situation of the game might be completely different.

But he didn't catch it.

Gao Zheng saw Wu Lei like this while waiting for the kickoff in the middle circle, so he comforted him: "Look forward, the game is not over yet."

Wu Lei looked at Gao Zheng, and a habitual smile appeared on his face.

He felt that no matter when, the tall and thin center forward would have a smile on his face. Whether in the club or in the national team, he would rarely see him frowning and frowning.

It seems that he has a solution to anything.

In this game, he was under the focus of the Korean team and basically couldn't get any chance. But it was precisely because Gao Zheng was stared at by the Korean team that he got so many opportunities.

But he didn't even seize a chance...

"Sun Heung-min!! Be careful!! It's so dangerous!"

In the 69th minute, the South Korean team's frontcourt combination made continuous cooperation in front of the Chinese team's penalty area. Finally, Son Heung-min volleyed on the right side of the penalty area, and the football flew out against the far post.

This attack scared He Ping very much.

"The Chinese team played too chaotic during this period..." Commentary guest Xu Yang also shook his head. "It was a heavy blow to our players' spirit in a short period of time... Gao Zheng was stared to death, Wu Lei was not in the form of this game, and missed the single shot in the first half, which had a certain impact on his confidence..."

"It's still a lack of experience. No one in the entire team has the experience of participating in the Top 12." He Ping said. "The last time we participated in the Top 12, that is, the Top 10, was in 2001, and it's been fifteen years. Fifteen years have been almost the entire career of some professional players... After all, the Top 12 is the highest-level football event in Asia, and it's more valuable than the Asian Cup. But we haven't participated in this event for too long. Although we performed well in the Top 40, the Top 12 is a completely different event from the Top 40..."

Maybe we should take our time... He Ping didn't say this sentence, for fear that it would stimulate Chinese fans, because we were already walking too slowly and other opponents were running. The Chinese team not only stood still, but even retreated. When will it take time to wait?

Everyone thinks that this is the best opportunity.

We have two La Liga strikers with sufficient offensive firepower, which solved the problem of the previous weak striker.

So you can't take it slowly... Whether it's Chinese fans or Chinese football, there is no time to squander or waste it.

In the 70th minute, Chinese team head coach Perrin made a substitution and replaced Zhang Linpeng with defender Zhang Ming, who made frequent mistakes. The three goals of the Korean team were launched and scored on their left side, that is, the Chinese team's right side, and Zhang Linpeng was the right back guarding this side.

Obviously, he is in poor form and has become a breakthrough for Korean players in offense.

During the substitution, Gao Zheng slapped hard on the court and shouted loudly about his teammates' names.

"They are relaxed!!" he shouted loudly. "They are relaxed after leading three balls! This is our opportunity to cheer up!"

Although he is not the captain, only his words can work at this time, because only his words can make people feel that they are just some nice but useless words.

"We want to attack! Hit them on the wing!"

He continued to direct his teammates.

The three goals of the Korean team in this game were all scored by the wing attack. They had a strong offensive on the wing, but after leading three goals, their players relaxed their mentality, so after the full-backs participated in the offense, they did not actively return to defense like before.

The experienced Gao Zheng saw this and pointed out the direction for his teammates.
