Chapter 181
BJ时间2013年3月26日19时，巴西世界杯亚洲区预选赛十强赛第7轮比赛，中国队客场挑战韩国队的比赛在韩国首尔打响。

For the Chinese and South Korean teams, this is a game that cannot afford to lose. Before this game, the South Korean team had 7 points in one less game, while the Chinese team had 10 points. If the Chinese team can win this game away, It will be very likely to firmly lock the second position in the group and get the right to qualify for the World Cup.

And if the South Korean team beats the Chinese team, with one game less, the points will be tied with the Chinese team, and it is very likely that they will eventually surpass the Chinese team in the standings.

In this game, the South Korean team played at home in a 4-4-2 formation. No. 1 Jung Sung-ryong was the starting goalkeeper, No. 19 Park Won-jae was the starting right back, No. 15 Oh Bum-seok was on the left, and the two starting central defenders were Jung In-hwan and Kwak Tae-hui .

In terms of midfield, the South Korean team can be said to be full of strong players. Ki Sung-yong and Koo Ja-cheol are the starting double midfielders, and Ji Dong-won and Lee Qing-yong are separated from the two wings.

On the front line, Lee Geun-ho and Kim Shin-wook formed a combination of high and fast.

For the Chinese team, a standard 4-2-3-1 formation was formed, and the goalkeeper position was still Yang Zhi from the BJ Guoan team.

On the defensive line, Jiangsu Sainty's Liu Jianye Juyou served as the starting right back, and Evergrande's Sun Xiang served as the starting left back.

The starting central defenders are Feng Xiaoting and Li Weifeng.

In the midfield, captains Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen started as double defensive midfielders, Chen Tao stepped forward, Yu Hai and Qu Bo divided the two wings on the left and right, and Jing Xuan served as the single center forward of the Chinese team.

The game had just started, and the players on both sides were a little nervous and made frequent mistakes.In the second minute of the game, Jin Xinyu received a long pass from Ki Chengyong in the penalty area, and his well-positioned chest stopped the ball 2 meters in front of him.

On the field, all the teammates of the South Korean team looked at Jin Xinyu sadly. Only the defenders and midfielders of the Chinese team kept their expressions calm, and there were rare taunts towards the South Korean players in their eyes.

You know, this kind of stoppage is quite common in the daily training and competition of the Chinese team.

In the 3rd minute of the game, the Chinese team launched a long pass attack from the backcourt. Feng Xiaoting drove the ball directly into the penalty area of ​​the South Korean team. Jingxuan ran for 20 meters to try to catch the ball, but the long pass was too strong and was blocked by the South Korean team defender. Guo Taihui easily headed the ball out of the penalty area.

In the 6th minute of the game, the South Korean team attacked from the right side. Li Qinglong made a bold move of pulling the ball and turning to get rid of Sun Xiang, and broke through along the side.

In desperation, Sun Xiang pulled Li Qinglong, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, from behind, and was shown the first yellow card of the game by the referee.

Korean midfielder Ki Sung-yong took a free kick into the middle of the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, and Feng Xiaoting failed to reach the ball after jumping.

At the next point, Li Genhao headed the ball to the top, but the goalkeeper Yang Zhi instinctively reached out to block it, and it popped out of the baseline. The Chinese team escaped.

Ji Chengyong passed the ball with a large arc, and the two defenders of the Chinese team missed the top, which gave Lee Geun-ho a good chance to shoot.

In the 9th minute of the game, Jingxuan retreated to the midfield to ask for the ball because he could not get the ball for a long time.

After Huang Bowen controlled the ball in the midfield, he passed it to Jingxuan. Jingxuan saw the space and instinctively passed the ball out, wanting to play two-on-one with Huang Bowen.But Huang Bowen didn't run, and the ball was passed to the South Korean player.

In the 10th minute of the game, the South Korean team attacked from the side. Chi Dongyuan took the ball from the side and made a breakthrough. Liu Jianye rushed up bravely with a flying shovel from the side and rear, and knocked Chi Dongyuan out of the boundary with the ball. The South Korean team protested Liu Jianye's malicious foul , the referee showed him a yellow card.

Gu Zizhe sent a free kick to the front point, Jin Xinyu ferryed the ball with his back, and Chi Dongyuan, who grabbed the second spot from the back point, was half a beat slower and failed to hit the ball, otherwise it would be a must.

In the 12th minute of the game, Jingxuan returned from the midfield. At this moment, he faced Gu Zizhe's close press. How could Jingxuan, who is used to the confrontation between strong men in European competitions, take the thin Korean players into his eyes?
There is no need for any tricks and designed extraordinary moves, Jingxuan opened his arms, wanting to turn around and crush his opponent with strength.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jingxuan raised his arm, Gu Zizhe immediately fell to the ground covering his face.Fortunately, the referee was aware of the details and signaled the game to continue.

Jingxuan took the ball to the top of the penalty area of ​​the South Korean team. Everyone in this position knew that he had entered the shot.

Seeing three South Korean players stretch their legs to intercept from different directions at the same time, Jingxuan didn't want to confront the South Korean players so early, so he quickly picked the ball to Yu Hei who was unguarded on the left.

After Yu Hai received the ball, with his body as the center, there were no defensive players within a radius of 4 meters.Yu Hao took a leisurely look at the situation on the court, and then slowly dribbled the ball into the penalty area of ​​the South Korean team.

Yu Hai didn't understand why the South Korean players stayed in the middle and didn't come to defend him, so he could easily form a one-handed goal.

He also did the same. The South Korean team's defensive players were all guarding around Jingxuan except for one who stood symbolically between him and the goal.

I saw that Yu Hei's shot from 14 meters away from the goal was powerful and flew to the upper left corner of the goal, and was finally blocked by South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong with a single punch.

Yu Hei wanted to go forward to make a follow-up shot, but South Korean defender Park Won-jae got ahead of him and blocked the position. Yu Hei pushed him to the ground, but was warned by the referee with a yellow card.

Jingxuan's temper and psychological endurance are much better than before. Before, he must be full of complaints, complaining that Yu Hai didn't pass the ball.But now he applauds his teammates, at least Yu Hi's shot is within the goal range.

In the 15th minute of the game, the South Korean team pressed forward to attack. Ji Chengyong saw the Chinese team's defensive loopholes in the middle, and sent a 20-meter ball to the penalty area. In the lower right corner, fortunately, Lee Geun-ho was limited by his short legs and the ball was not touched accurately. His shot finally hit the post and flew out of the baseline.

Yang Zhi, who was in a cold sweat, got up, pointed to his head and yelled at his teammates, hoping that the defensive players would cheer up.

In the 18th minute of the game, after Zheng Zhi received the ball from the midfielder, he made a beautiful fake move, turned around and got rid of Gu Zizhe's defense, and then passed it directly to Jingxuan.

After receiving the ball, Jingxuan quickly gave the ball to the unmarked Yu Hai on the left. If Yu Hai can successfully take the ball into the penalty area and cross the middle, Jingxuan has a great chance to outflank and score.

However, Yu Hai made a mistake in stopping the ball and directly stopped Jingxuan's pass out of the boundary.

After the mistake, Yu Hai raised his hand to apologize to Jingxuan with a face full of guilt, Jingxuan walked over and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said in a low voice:
"Don't mind, everyone will make mistakes, as long as you don't make mistakes next time, it will be fine."

In the 21st minute of the game, Ki Sung-yong hoisted into the penalty area of ​​the Chinese team, and Yang Zhi abandoned the goal, but Jin Xinyu jumped higher. Before Yang Zhi reached out to catch the ball, he headed the ball towards the Chinese team's goal. At the critical moment, Feng Xiaoting made a clearance from the goal line and kicked the ball with all his strength, but then he fell to the ground, obviously straining his leg muscles.

The team doctor entered the field and carried Feng Xiaoting out of the field. Zhang Linpeng had already warmed up on the sidelines.

Fortunately, after a simple treatment, Feng Xiaoting returned to the court.

In the 25th minute of the game, Zheng Zhi broke into the Korean team's penalty area with the ball, played a two-on-one cooperation with Jingxuan, wiped Zheng Seung-hwan and kicked the goal.

This powerful shot from 15 meters away from the goal was very threatening. Korean team goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong tried his best to block the ball out of the goal area. The Chinese team won the first corner kick after the opening. .

Huang Bowen took the corner kick, but the ball was fast, but it was too close to the goal. Goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong jumped high and easily caught the ball.

In the first half an hour, the South Korean team led the Chinese team in terms of ball possession rate and number of shots. If it weren't for Jingxuan to take the ball in the frontcourt, it would be difficult for the Chinese team to create a substantial threat.

In the 31st minute of the game, Li Qinglong dribbled the ball from the side to the center, played a wall kick with Lee Geun-ho and then entered the penalty area. His right-footed shot was blocked by Chinese goalkeeper Yang Zhi with his leg, but Chi Dong-won followed A supplementary shot scored the ball into the Chinese team's gate.

The stalemate on the court was finally broken, and the Chinese players will need to work harder on the court.

In the 35th minute of the game, Jingxuan dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and hit the wall with Qu Bo. Unfortunately, Qu Bo’s ball was a bit small. After Jingxuan received the ball and adjusted his pace, he had lost the best shooting angle. Under the circumstances, he could only choose to force the kick to shoot, but the ball was hit high.

In the 39th minute of the game, Ki Sung-yong moved his midfielder with a big foot. Ji Dong-won picked up Liu Jianye after receiving the ball from the left, and swept the ball to the goal. The shot was defused by Feng Xiaoting again, and finally Gu Zizhe fired an anti-aircraft gun from a long distance.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Chen Tao's midfield pass from Huang Bowen stopped a little too much, but he still grabbed the ball before the South Korean player stretched out his foot. As a result, the South Korean player kicked Chen Tao's calf.

Chen Tao fell to the ground, and the referee awarded the Chinese team a direct free kick 25 meters away from the goal, and showed a yellow card to Ki Sung-yong who committed the foul.

Jingxuan stands in front of the penalty spot, and the chance of free kick can be said to be the offensive weapon of the Chinese team. The national football team with extremely poor sports combat ability wants to overwhelm the South Korean team, and the set-piece tactic is very important.

Jingxuan started and shot. Unfortunately, the ball was too angled. It was just a little unlucky. It hit the right post and bounced out. Qu Bo got the ball from the right side of the penalty area and passed it into the penalty area. !
With the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game ended like this. Although there were twists and turns, the result of the game was as expected.

After the start of the second half, the two sides did not rush to make substitutions and adjustments.

In the 48th minute of the game, after receiving the ball with his back at the front of the penalty area, Jingxuan suddenly turned sideways and took a cold shot from a corner. Zheng Chenglong was unprepared and only had time to reach out to block the ball out of the baseline. The Chinese team won a left corner kick.

This time, Jingxuan personally took the corner kick. I saw him rubbing a pass with his right foot. The ball slid through a very large parabola in the air, and finally flew into the upper right corner of the goal. Jingxuan scored directly from the corner kick. The score on the field was rewritten to 1:1.

Korean team goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong blamed himself for the conceded goal. He covered his face with his hands and squatted on the ground silently. It was useless for his teammates to comfort him.The moment the ball flew over just now, his position selection was a bit forward, otherwise he should be able to hit the ball out of the goal range.

In the 52nd minute of the game, the South Korean team attacked, and Ji Dongyuan's inside cut missed the goal.

After that, the South Korean team made substitution adjustments, and Lee Dong-guk came on the field to replace Ji Dong-won, who wasted opportunities.

In the 57th minute of the game, Deng Zhuoxiang came on the field to replace Yu Hai, who had been dull in the game, and Chen Tao's position was changed to the side.

The situation on the field became very anxious. The South Korean team must win this game, otherwise they are very likely to end up third in the group and can only play in the play-offs.

In the 62nd minute of the game, the South Korean team attacked in the frontcourt. Ki Sung-yong hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

In the 72nd minute of the game, the Chinese team counterattacked. Zheng Zhi took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Jingxuan.

After Qu Bo took the ball, he stared at it for a long time, and then swept the ball half-high to the goal. Unfortunately, the ball never formed a tacit understanding with Jingxuan, and passed behind Jingxuan. The Chinese team missed a rare attacking opportunity.

In the 75th minute of the game, the South Korean team took a set kick, and Jin Xinyu overwhelmed the Chinese team defender with a header that went over the crossbar again!

Then the South Korean team made a second substitution adjustment. The supernova Sun Xingmin came on the field to replace Lee Keun-ho, whose strength had declined significantly. The South Korean team was ready to break the boat.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Sun Xingmin passed Liu Jianye in a one-on-one on the wing. The latter was not used to it and stretched out his hand to pull Sun Xingmin's arm. The referee showed Liu Jianye a second yellow card without hesitation and sent him off. field.

In this way, the Chinese team, which was originally at a disadvantage, became more passive. In the 85th minute of the game, Ki Sung-yong took a corner kick. The score became 2:1, and the South Korean team took the lead again through hard work.

The current situation on the court is extremely unfavorable to the Chinese team. The Chinese team will face a strong enemy like the Iranian team in the next game. If they lose to the South Korean team, they may lose the initiative to qualify for the group stage.

In the 89th minute of the game, Jingxuan took the ball from the side of the frontcourt. At this moment, there were three Chinese players in the penalty area of ​​the South Korean team.

The big head's header was powerful and heavy, but it's a pity that South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong's performance was perfect.

He jumped up steadily to block Li Weifeng's header, and then jumped high into his arms.

After the game entered stoppage time, the South Korean team deliberately took the ball on the side to waste time.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Korean defender Oh Beom-seok was forced to pass back to the goalkeeper under the pressure of the Chinese team. At this moment, Jingxuan rushed to the goal, trying to steal the ball from the goalkeeper.

After Zheng Chenglong stopped the ball, facing Jingxuan's upsurge, he calmly kicked out with a big foot. As a result, his foot slipped, the ball was kicked, and it hit Jingxuan's back and bounced into the goal. Jingxuan's "forced" goal The ball helped the Chinese team tie the score to 2:2, and the situation was fundamentally reversed.

After conceding the goal, the South Korean players generally shook their heads and sighed. Zheng Chenglong once again sat in front of the goal and bowed his head in silence.He played bravely all day today, but two mistakes caused the South Korean team to fall short.

In the end, with two unconventional goals from Jingxuan, the Chinese team drew with the South Korean team 2:2 in the away game, and continued to rank second in Group A of the top 10 match.
