The referee's sharp whistle sounded, and Kim Sang-young received a yellow card, and the Chinese team won a free kick at the front of the penalty area.

The right elbow rubbed the skin, and the blood gushed out quickly condensed, covered with a thin layer of frost, and the right arm also hurt bitterly. Long Tian rubbed it quickly, not caring.

Considering that Zhang Chang's mood fluctuates greatly, Guan Jian walked forward and prepared to take the penalty;

But Zhang Chang held the ball stubbornly, without any intention of giving in, even though he had lost the penalty kick that he was bound to score;

He was reluctant to let Xian go without any condition. Guan Jian was very dissatisfied with his corpse-positioning behavior, and a fierce quarrel broke out between the two.

Zhang and Guan are the best players in the team, and their skills in free kicks are also good at playing. Generally speaking, Zhang Chang is the exclusive frontcourt set-piece;

His teammates saw his sluggish state in this game, so because this time the set piece appeared again, Guan Jian, who was in good condition, naturally stood up to "seize power";

It seemed that Zhang Chang's persistence gave up Guan Jian's idea of ​​taking the punishment, and he turned around and left helplessly.

The Korean team's wall was quickly built, Zhang Chang bowed down and set the ball. His friend Li Xudong walked up and asked if he needed cover. He shook his head and refused his kindness;

"Where you fall, get up," at this moment he just wanted to prove to Han Guobai and to people all over the world that Zhang Chang can't be suppressed!

Long Tian walked up, staring at him with his eyes, and the two made simple eye contact: "Come on, you can do it!"

A warm current flowed through his body, staring at this teammate who was not astonishingly beautiful with a grateful look.

Zhang Changxiang stepped back, stood still, holding his breath, the noisy quarrel scene disappeared, and the whistling north wind stopped blowing;

The Korean team's human wall no longer exists, the whole world has quieted down, and only the right-angle area where the goal beam and the column are connected;

He held his head high and his body exuded an unyielding fighting spirit. He just dissatisfied. He was unwilling to wait for the shadow that others had to spend their whole life erasing. Now he had to completely clean up!

After the referee's whistle rang, he started running, with only a clear idea left in his mind;

The ball quickly turned in from the right side, and the strange arc contained a trace of resistance. Han Guobai was beyond the reach of the whip, watching the ball hanging in the dead corner;

In the second half, 77′, with Zhang Chang's free kick, the Chinese team changed the score on the field to 1:2.

The moment the ball entered, Zhang Chang leaned back, his arms bent up, and all the unhappiness in his heart was vented in that long roar, as proud as a general who turned the tide. The black mask on his face added a sense of handsomeness to his unrestrained cheers, just like the thief Zorro in McCulley's writing!

Ten minutes ago, he lost the penalty kick created by his teammates, which made the team fall into a lost way and lose himself;

Ten minutes later, he took back what he deserved and proved himself. This feeling of losing and regaining in a flash was the most touching!

Ma Kang and Luo Xiantu rushed forward, cheering for his goal, and venting their depression to the fullest;

Li Xudong and Liu Li and several other midfielders also surrounded him, with their excited expressions and exaggerated actions silently further exaggerating the importance of this ball.

Zhang Chang did not forget his roots. He quickly pulled out of the crowd surrounding him, ran towards Long Tian's direction, and gave him a bear hug: "Long Tian, ​​thank you so much!"

Long Tian happily answered the question and asked: "Zhang Chang, why are your free kicks so tricky? If you have time, teach me, haha!"

Zhang Chang's self-salvation action was finally successful, and Long Tian's curved way of saving the country was also effective.

Zhang Chang's goal greatly boosted the Chinese team's low morale, and his organizational talent that he had been sleeping for a long time was also awakened;

As the game ended, the Chinese team played the smoothest offensive football since the start of the game. The scene was exciting, and the few spectators in the onshore stadium kept cheering, adding a little bit of anger to the empty stadium.

In the second half, 84′, Wang Peng replaced Liu Li with the style of ​​June. The team played a clear offensive mark, making his playing style more aggressive, and continued to launch fierce attacks on the Korean team's backcourt.

Faced with the little time left, the Korean team further tightened its formation. The players deliberately passed the ball down as soon as they got the ball, consciously slowing down the pace of the game, and the intention to delay time was obvious;

Facing the Korean team that was defending with all their might, the Chinese team launched waves of impact, one wave higher and one wave higher, but failed to create enough good plans in a limited time.

Once one of the two teams with close strength takes the lead, they will inevitably adopt a defensive move to consolidate the hard-won results when the game is approaching. This strategy is called "strategic retreat" in military tactics: since the victory is decided, why chase and fight again? At that time, the loss of soldiers and generals will be more than worth the loss.

Today's football world has increasingly high requirements for defenders. We need to be strong, skilled, and mindful. The defense level has been greatly improved compared with other than that, and the direct consequences are pleasing goals and production cuts or even suspensions;

Facing a team that is determined to defend to the end, even strong teams that advocate offensive football such as Brazil, Spain, Mexico will have no choice but to have a chance, let alone a team that has been troubled by "forward weakness" for a long time! The performance of the Chinese team on the court has strongly proved this conclusion.

Luo Xian and Ma Kang were completely frozen by the South Korean team's sea of ​​people tactics. In more cases, Luo Xian's rampage directly drifted the ball out of the bottom line. Ma Kang's soft long-distance head hammer was easily resolved by Han Guobai or Korean defenders;

When Zhang Chang was unable to easily turn around and deal with the ball, Qu Feng, who was on the bench, finally played the role of midfield commander. His breakthrough, passing and organizing, activated the entire midfield. Qian Cheng received more support from him and frequently stepped forward assists, which also alleviated Zhang Chang's dilemma of being restrained to a certain extent;

However, the frontcourt failed to open up the situation smoothly, and no matter how hard the midfield was, it would only result with twice the effort, or even be useless!

The cleverness of the Korean team's defense lies in the fact that they are desperately pressing the middle lane, and they will fight for an inch of land in the middle lane. The traditional Korean-style siege is fully displayed. The Chinese team cannot gain a foothold in this critical area and is forced to advance from the wing again and again.

Everyone understands this truth: if you insert a knife into the rib, it will only cause serious injury at most, and you may not die;

If this knife moves a few inches upwards and penetrates directly into the heart and atrium, you will definitely die.

There are two typical offensive routines in football. One is to open a gap in the opponent's defense line and drive straight into the Huanglong, which is called "middle penetration". This kind of attack is undoubtedly the most threatening, equivalent to the stab that penetrates the heart;

One is to avoid the opponent's defense line head-on, pass the long pass and rush the ball, and transfer it to a simple way to get the ball out of the ball. It uses a large open area with weak defense power on the side road opponent to advance quickly, pulling the opponent's defense line to create a chance for the team's frontcourt players (somewhat similar to the rural surround city strategy in the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base area back then), which is called "wing offense". The threat of this offense is greatly reduced compared to the middle road penetration, which is tantalizing to others' ribs.

As mentioned earlier, modern teams have greatly enhanced their defensive strength. Many teams are willing to spend more effort to reclaim one acre of three-point land on the side road when they are trapped in the middle. The side road offense still occupies a considerable market share, and there are even professional side road offensive users like the Chinese national team;

If you think about it carefully, although the wing offensive harvest is not good or stable, you can kill people as long as you succeed once. Moreover, the technical requirements are low, and a fast horse can solve it. It is much simpler than the operation of penetration in the middle. Why not do it?

Qian Cheng's breakthrough on the wing was "high thunder and low raindrops", and did not pose a substantial threat to the defending South Korean defense line. The Chinese midfielder could only look at the Korean team's goal with Li Xudong's continuous long-range shots.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the situation was already very serious for the Chinese team. While Zhang Chang's goal retained the last fire of hope for his teammates to fight, it further stimulated the conservative Koreans' determination to resist to the end. The iron barrel formation organized was like an extremely solid dam, allowing the Chinese team's tide-like offensive to slap, and remained unmoved.

Facing Quan Tieyou who was stuck, Li Xudong guided the ball to the right side on the outside of his right foot, intending to use his speed to wading away from this clingy candy;

As soon as he accelerated suddenly, he seemed to have stepped on some powdery objects when his left foot touched the ground. His feet slipped and lost their center of gravity. Li Xudong fell to the ground, gnawing on the grass clippings and snow moss all over his mouth, looking very embarrassed!

The ball was naturally obtained by Quan Tieyou. He looked at China No. 9, who fell to the ground, smiled contemptuously, and quickly rushed forward with the ball;

Looking at the opponent's contemptuous expression, Li Xudong was so upset that he could have fallen into a state of incompetence in front of Koreans. He was really cowardly!

He sat up with support, and his left arm, which had just touched the ground, was in great pain, as if it was broken;

The hard and cold wound was already numb and there was no trace of pain when touched. What really hurt was his heart;

Sitting on the ground, scanning the entire ground, bringing a vast white area, snow floated unknowingly, and snowflakes kept falling on his head, shoulders, and thighs, and his heart became more and more gloomy!

He has tried his best and his teammates have worked very hard, but he still cannot change the defeat in the end. Thinking that the team is about to face the tragic fate of disbanding and reorganization, Li Xudong is very unwilling to give up, but he is more discouraged: he can't even go to the Asian Youth Championship, so what are the faces he has to represent China in the Olympics?

Four minutes ago, the whole game had ended, and five minutes of stoppage time. When he witnessed the "5" displayed on the electronic card raised by the assistant referee, Li Xudong gritted his teeth and stubbornly refused to give up;

With this unforgivable fall in the last minute, it felt like the whole world had left him. He did not stand up tenaciously and chase the ball as usual;

Instead, he sat helplessly on the ground, staring at the half-time with his eyes blankly, looking at the Korean who was about to celebrate, his heart was broken in an instant!

He was not a person who was easy to give up, but in the last thirty or forty seconds, the cruel reality forced him to give up, so he did not stand up and directly did the movements he wanted to do in a few dozen seconds in advance, without intending to change them, so as not to make people feel sad when he got it.
