Chinese champion

Chapter 42
Unfortunately, yesterday's game was lost, but I didn't feel so sad, it's nothing else, 11 goals in four games, or in such a world series, no matter the national team can't do it Yes, we have reasons to be proud. The Chen Taos in reality have come back proudly, but the Pei Weis in the book are still going on. Let us continue our dream.

———————————————————————————————————

After three days of recuperation and adjustment, on November 2000, 11, the China Youth Team ushered in the first and biggest opponent in the group stage:

Korean team.

As long as you are a Chinese fan, you will know what "Koreaphobia" is all about, and almost all national football teams in China have anti-Korea as their goal. Unfortunately, there are very few teams that achieve this goal. Pitiful.

When playing against South Korean teams, nervousness is generally a common problem of Chinese teams, but this phenomenon cannot be seen in this Chinese youth team.

On the bus, Zhu Jun was listening to MP3 leisurely, Pei Wei and Hu Yong were chatting, Zhang Qi was rubbing his chin and thinking about something, Wu Qi went too far, he was snoring on his back—he actually fell asleep caught.

He Jin is very satisfied with the mental state of the players - they are not going to participate in a game related to qualifying, but like playing an irrelevant warm-up match.

As for Wu Qi, He Jin is very relieved, he is basically a nervous guy, he can do anything when he is not in the game, but he becomes a fierce tiger when he is on the field.

A responsive tiger.

In a leisurely atmosphere, the bus arrived at the match venue. As the highlight of Group A of this year's Asian Youth Championship, many reporters and fans have already rushed to the scene to watch the match.

Also in Group A with China and South Korea are Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq.

When the Chinese team got off the bus, the Chinese reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward and took pictures one after another.

Xiao Jun was also caught in the middle. When he saw Pei Wei, he asked loudly: "Hey! Pei Wei! How many goals are you going to win today?"

Pei Wei paid attention to his reputation. He recognized Xiao Jun. He remembered that in the past three years, this reporter was the most enthusiastic about reporting on the then unknown National Youth League.

He had a good impression of this reporter, he smiled and raised three fingers: "Three should be no problem!"

The reporters were in an uproar.

Who is this guy?Open your mouth so wide?
The other reporters began to ask other colleagues one after another, and after getting no news, they all focused on Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun was angry at first. He was walking with a South Korean reporter on the way just now. After learning that he was a Chinese reporter, the small Korean man almost turned his tail to the sky, bragging desperately about the South Korean youth team. Several stars of hope in the group: Park Ji-sung, Lee Cheon-soo, Lee Cheon-shu, and Park Zhixing, also uttered their words in front of Xiao Jun: "This Korean youth team is the strongest in recent years. The players have all received invitations from European teams, and the championship of the Asian Youth Championship this time is definitely in the bag of the South Korean team. Against the Chinese team, they must win at least two goals..."

If he hadn't seen Arab mounted police patrolling around, Xiao Jun would have wanted to flush that petty Korean Diba Diba down the toilet to the Mediterranean Sea.

Didn't you just receive an invitation letter from a European team?Who doesn't know that you Koreans will rely on cheating in sports to restore your own poor national self-esteem?It's just an invitation letter, I don't know which third-rate team it is from, but we have the genuine Inter Milan youth team main player Pei Wei!

The more he thought about it, the more angry Xiao Jun couldn't help shouting when he saw Pei Wei.

Then he felt that Pei Wei was really cute.
Three balls, hehe!It seems that the Chinese youth team is full of confidence!

He was laughing wildly in his heart while telling his colleagues everything he knew about Pei Wei.

He can already imagine how wonderful the Koreans' faces were after the game.

At seven o'clock in the evening local time, the game began.

The lineup of the Chinese team is: goalkeeper Wu Qi, four defenders from left to right are Sun Ru, Li Min, Du Wei and Yang Bing, midfielder Hu Yong, left midfielder Zhu Jun, right midfielder Zhang Qi, front midfielder Gao Ming Wei, the two forwards are Zhan Feng and Zhong Yan.

Pei Wei was sitting on the bench, but he didn't show any disappointment. He was chatting and laughing with Yao Le, Zhao Lin and others beside him, and he didn't seem to care about his absence at all.

On the other hand, Xiao Jun on the sidelines scolded: "Damn! What are you doing? If I can't hit three balls, how can I laugh at that guy!"

His complaints were ignored because the game had already started.

The South Korean team took the lead and passed the midfield after a few kicks. Li Tianxiu took the ball in the midfield and Hu Yong forced it up.

As a midfield genius of the younger generation in South Korea, Lee Cheon-soo does have something to be proud of, so he didn't take Hu Yong seriously.

Out of a natural superiority, the South Korean youth team did not pay attention to the Chinese youth team. They didn't even have basic pre-match preparations, and they didn't even know who was in the Chinese youth team.

So Li Tianxiu suffered a big loss.

Hu Yong beautifully broke the ball from under his feet, and then used his best trick.

"Thousands of waters and mountains"!
Hu Yong's beautiful long pass crossed the South Korean team's half. Zhanfeng grabbed the header in front of the South Korean youth team captain Cao Bingju. Zhong Yan took advantage of his acceleration and instantly sent another player The central defender threw away three or four meters, single-handedly!
There was a huge sigh from the Chinese reporters on the sidelines. The China Youth Team created an excellent scoring opportunity in less than two minutes, but it was a pity that Zhong Yan was a little anxious and rushed to hit the goal just after entering the penalty area. , the result was saved by South Korean goalkeeper Jin Rongguang, and the China Youth Team won the first corner kick of the game.

Sun Ru ran up to take a corner kick, Zhan Feng stood out from the crowd, grabbed this point, shook his head and hit the goal, but unfortunately he was a little unlucky, the ball hit the lintel and bounced off the baseline.

In the opening game, the China Youth Team created two very threatening attacks, which made the South Korean team coach Zhao Zengxue on the sidelines unable to sit still. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled a few times, until the fourth official came to intervene. Sit back to your seat.

A sneer appeared on the corner of He Jin's mouth. He didn't know the enemy's situation, was arrogant, and didn't even know the enemy's first opportunity. This level is also worthy of being a coach?
As early as more than a month before the start of the Asian Youth Championship, He Jin had already sent several members of the coaching staff to inquire about the main opponents, and he also knew that all the offenses in the Korean youth team were carried out by Li Tianxiu and Park Zhixing. Initiated, especially Li Tianxiu's organization in the middle is very good, so he sent Hu Yong to stare at him. Sure enough, Hu Yong broke Li Tianxiu's ball at the beginning and launched a beautiful attack.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Zhao Zengxue's shout played a certain role. The South Korean team members put away their contempt and started to attack continuously.

The formation of the South Korean team is 4-3-3, which is also the formation that the South Korean team is best at. Lee Cheon-soo is in charge of organizing the three midfielders.

Li Tianxiu got the ball in the midfield again, and Hu Yong pushed it up again.

Li Tianxiu was very uncomfortable with Hu Yong's close-fitting press. You must know that Hu Yong, who was defending with all his strength, even felt a headache for Pei Wei.

As a last resort, he had to pass back to the defense.

Just when he passed back, a figure rushed over like an arrow and broke the ball!
It was Zhu Jun who stole the ball.

Li Tianxiu was shocked. When he passed the ball, he clearly saw that Zhu Jun was still five meters away, but after a while he rushed to his passing route. What an amazing speed!

Immediately after Zhu Jun stole the ball, he played a one-two with Gao Mingwei, and then moved the ball to the right with a big foot.

Zhang Qi received the ball, before Park Ji-sung could return to the defense, Zhang Qi shook several times in a row, threw off the left back of the South Korean team, and made a pass!
This cross was very beautiful, Zhan Feng leaped high, Cao Bingju was unwilling to let him hit the ball so easily, and jumped up close to him, Zhan Feng couldn't shoot, so he swung his header, The ball flew into the center of the penalty area.

Zhong Yan's sudden start once again got rid of the central defender of the South Korean team, and before the ball landed, he shot a wonderful volley!

The ball stuck to the inside of the goal post and went into the net. No.13 minutes in the first half, the China Youth team took the lead!
After conceding the goal, the South Korean team launched a counterattack, but Li Tianxiu couldn't even get the ball under Hu Yong's defense, which also made the South Korean team's offense repeatedly frustrated in the midfield.

Li Tianxiu was once again forced into a panic by Hu Yong, and suddenly he heard someone shouting: "This way!"

Li Tianxiu didn't think much about it—in fact, he didn't have time to think about it. If he didn't pass the ball, he would lose it. He distributed the ball to the left.

It was Park Ji-sung who caught the ball, and he started to break to the left.

As soon as he got the ball, South Korea's two forwards, Choi Sung-guk and Cho Jae-jin, started to move towards the center. They were confident in Park Ji-sung's breakthrough. The 18-year-old has already received PSV Eindhoven, one of the top three players in the Netherlands. Invitation, after this Asian Youth Championship, I will go to the Netherlands to report.

Park Ji-sung dribbled the ball to the corner of the penalty area on the left. At this time, a defender of the Chinese youth team who was not very tall at all stared at him.

Park Ji-sung didn't take him seriously, he believed that there was probably no one in the China Youth Team who possessed the man-marking skills of No. [-].

He first made a fake move to break through to the bottom line, but the opponent was unmoved, and then he shook a few times in a row, kicking up and preparing to cross.

The opponent has quickly followed up and raised his leg to block his pass out of the baseline.

Only now did Park Ji-sung start to be serious. He raised his head to see the opponent's face, but the opponent had already turned around and walked into the restricted area, and he only saw the big "2" on the opponent's back.

Although Yang Bing's comprehensive strength is not very strong, when it comes to one-on-one marking, even Hu Yong is willing to bow down.

Lee Cheon-soo came up to serve a corner kick, Park Ji-sung gestured to him, and Lee Cheon-soo passed the ball to him knowingly.

Park Zhixing dribbled the ball into the penalty area, Yang Bing blocked his inward cutting route again, Park Zhixing suddenly sent the ball forward, ready to pass through his back, Yang Bing turned around very quickly and blocked him with his body, Park Zhixing could only stare blankly Watching the leaked ball, Du Wei rushed out and kicked it out.

The South Korean team continued to attack. The two defensive midfielders Park Zhixing and Cui Yuanquan teamed up to watch Gao Mingwei die, which made the Chinese youth team lack a driving button for midfield transition. Li Tianxiu also slowly showed his strength. Hu Yong's Most of the energy is involved by him, and he has no spare energy to participate in the offense. In the case of weak offense, it is inevitable to be passive on the scene.

However, Lee Cheon-soo and Park Ji-sung, the two major offensive weapons of the South Korean team, were closely watched by Hu Yong and Yang Bing, and their effect was reduced to the minimum. , Li Min and Wu Qi, under the protection of the defensive triangle, did not pose any threat to the goal of the China Youth Team.

The South Korean team attacked for nearly half an hour. Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, they had nothing to do with the tenacious Chinese youth team. They were even hit by the two fast fullbacks of the Chinese youth team with several extremely threatening counterattacks. , if not for bad luck, I am afraid the score will be further widened.

In the stoppage time of the first half, the South Korean team finally launched the most threatening attack since the opening. After consecutive breakthroughs, Li Tianxiu finally got out of the gap under the defense of Hu Yong. Park Zhixing accelerated to get rid of Yang Bing's defense. Li Min came up to make up for it, and Park Ji-sung cleverly distributed the ball to the penalty area

Cui Chengguo, Cui Chengguo stopped the ball, and when he was about to hit the goal, his foot suddenly lightened. Wu Qi started to attack when he got the ball, and took the ball away from his feet very lightly.

Cui Chengguo fell to the ground, and several South Korean team members next to him raised their hands, signaling Wu Qi to make a foul. The dark Vietnamese referee ignored them—he could see clearly that Wu Qi was completely beautiful. Instead, Cui Chengguo deliberately leaned on Wu Qi after Wu Qi got the ball. He did not judge Cui Chengguo for diving or colliding with the goalkeeper.

After Wu Qi kicked the ball, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the China Youth Team took the lead and entered the second half.
