Chapter 331 A Little Effort

"Dear viewers and fans, welcome to watch the final round of the Group A quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup Asian Qualifiers in Germany. The Chinese team will face the South Korean team at home."

"The current situation in Group A is very unclear. The South Korean team drew with Uzbekistan last week, and China won against Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia was eliminated early. The remaining three teams all have the opportunity to directly qualify. In the final round Only then can we separate the first, second and third place in the group. As long as the Chinese team draws, they can advance to the group stage..."

"Because Saudi Arabia was eliminated early, it is very likely that Saudi Arabia will lose to Uzbekistan without any intention of playing. If this game is a draw, the South Korean team will become third in the group, and the Chinese team will be ranked second because of their home and away record. So in this game, South Korea will definitely fight to the death of China, and once the Chinese team loses, it will become third in the group, provided that Uzbekistan wins."

"Same as the last game, the Chinese team's lineup has not changed. Krauchen believes that this is the most perfect lineup of the Chinese team. As for the Korean team, you have all the players in Europe. This is to compete with The Chinese team has a decisive battle. Of course, whoever loses the game will still have the opportunity to fight for a spot with the third place in Group B and continue to play in the play-offs with the teams from Central and North America, but the two teams are definitely not willing to take the chance. This risk..."

"Dong Fangzhuo will face off against Manchester United teammate Park Ji-sung."

After finishing last in points in the East Asia semi-finals and losing to China at home, the South Korean team recalled all players who played in the European leagues in order to win this battle to clear their name.

The atmosphere at the home court where Shenyang fans faced off was very intense, with almost the entire stadium awash in red. The fans were beating gongs and drums, making it very lively.

"I can beat South Korea on the road, wouldn't it be easier to win at home?"

"In this game, Xiao Dong will probably score another hat trick."

"The score may still be 3:2."

The fans are full of confidence, especially after defeating Saudi Arabia 4:1 at home. They do not believe that there are any Asian teams that can prevent the Chinese team from going to the World Cup in Germany.

The live footage was shown to the VIP seats. Almost all the leaders of the Football Association appeared, as did the leaders of Shenyang City and Liaoning Province.

Since 2002, the Chinese team has once again reached an important moment to qualify for the World Cup. Today, nothing is bigger than qualifying.

Park Ji-sung officially took over the captain's armband of the South Korean team in this game and became the new captain of South Korea.

Seeing Dong Fangzhuo, Park Zhixing smiled and gave Dong Fangzhuo a hug.

"Oh, you look like a boss." Zhao Xuri smiled.

Park Ji-sung's respectful look seemed a little funny. It is a very rare scene for the dignified captain of the Korean team to be so polite and courteous to Dong Fangzhuo.

"That is, in Manchester United, Park Ji-sung has no status at all. Brother Dong is the third captain of Manchester United and the proper third leader. How can Park Ji-sung not pretend to be a grandson?"

On the South Korean team, when the teammates saw Park Ji-sung like this, their faces were obviously a little ugly.

Maybe they all think their captain is too humble...

Then everyone also saw another big boss of the Korean team, Ahn Jung-hwan, who stole the show in the 2002 World Cup...

The referee's whistle from Bahrain starts the game.

The Koreans immediately pressed forward and implemented a full-court pressing defense, which did not surprise the Chinese team. Koreans, who are said to be immortal, now like to compete physically with their opponents and fight them to death.

The Chinese team can only speed up the passing of the ball. In the past, when the Chinese team was pressed by the opponent, it was easy to lose the ball, and the opponent seized the opportunity to counterattack. The South Korean team has learned a lot by beating the Chinese team like this.

But since the last match, this trick has basically become unusable, because Dong Fangzhuo poses too great a threat to South Korea in the front and dare not press in the backcourt. Naturally, the Chinese team's midfield pressure is much less.

In today's game, the Chinese team even changed its coach. Ali Han has become Krauchen, and the tactics have also changed. The three midfielders ensure that the Chinese team will never suffer in the backcourt.

Therefore, the game is still very stable!

"Stay steady, that's right. South Korea put a lot of pressure on them, but the Chinese team performed very well."

"Focus on the Korean team's fierce attack in the first fifteen minutes of the game, so that the Chinese team can take a breather and must not give the Korean team any loopholes."

"To prevent South Korea from breaking through on the two wings, Lee Dong-guk must be closely guarded in the center."

"The defense in the midfield must be tougher!"

Only a few minutes into the game, Huang Jianxiang was already chirping a lot. This is also a habit he has had for many years. When playing against a team like South Korea, even the host would often feel a chill in his heart. He is used to being worried about the Chinese team.

"Damn, does South Korea have to be so fierce?"

"Will I lose the ball?"

After only three minutes, the Chinese fans began to become uneasy, because it has always been difficult to beat the Korean team, and conceding goals is even more common.

However, just 4 minutes into the game, the Chinese team got a chance to break through on the right. Zhao Xuri quickly passed the ball, but the opponent's defender kicked the ball out of the baseline. The Chinese team got a corner kick on the right.

"There's something wrong with this style of painting."

"This first wave of offense was brilliant."

Huang Jianxiang murmured, "The corner kick is a very good scoring opportunity for the Chinese team. If the Chinese team can win the header... because we have Li Jinyu, Dong Fangzhuo and Li Weifeng in the middle, and even Zheng Zhi ran to the South Korean team's big goal In front of the penalty area, Zhao Xuri and he were both standing there."

Dong Fangzhuo, Li Jinyu and Li Weifeng are all in the middle. It is obvious that they are going to use collective bombing tactics, using three people to focus on grabbing points. Although South Korea has many defensive players, the strength of the three people still does not fall behind in the confrontation.

In addition to the large number of people, bounce must also be considered. These three people will definitely not lose to Korean players.

Dong Fangzhuo was defended by his old rivals Liu Qinglie and Jin Zhengui, but Li Weifeng cunningly pushed away Jin Zhengui and helped Dong Fangzhuo share the pressure. Dong Fangzhuo and Liu Qinglie struggled for a long time, but their movements were not excessive, and Dong Fangzhuo confuses Liu Qinglie by constantly moving back and forth. Liu Qinglie There was obviously some panic on his face.

As soon as Shao Jia ran to take a corner kick, he looked up at the penalty area and then quickly served the ball.

The first point was cleared by the South Korean defender, but Zheng Zhi was waiting on the left. He passed the ball into the penalty area again. Dong Fangzhuo jumped high in the chaos and headed the ball to the lower right corner. Li Yun was on the opposite side. There is nothing this ball can do...

After all, Liu Qinglie was one step behind Dong Fangzhuo. He still doesn't know how to deal with Dong Fangzhuo.

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

"The Chinese team took the lead."

"After scoring the goal, Dong Fangzhuo raised his left hand and waved it gently in the air."

"What do you mean, it takes a little effort?"
