Green giants

After four days of rest, the second semi-final will be played between China and South Korea.In the other semi-final that took the lead, Australia beat Japan 3-2.

"It's such a pity that the Japanese team lost. I'm still planning to meet an opponent who had a good life in the final." Wu Jin regretted.

"You're really confident. We haven't made it to the final yet?" Yang Xu looked at his swollen teammates and immediately cooled him down.

"I'll just look forward to it first, I have confidence in us." Wu Jin didn't care.

"Yeah." Yang Xu looked at the silent teammates around him: "The South Korean team is difficult to deal with. We have played against each other before."

Li Tianxiang looked at the depressing locker room. Is this a Korean-phobia, a fear of losing?

"Children, don't be under pressure." The head coach Chen Yaodong broke the silence at the right time: "We have entered the semi-finals and will participate in the World Youth Championship next year. You have already made history."

"The South Korean team is very strong. We have played against each other before, but you also said it was before. The last time when the national youth team, I remember well, we lost to Uzbekistan on penalties. This time we won 4 at halftime. One. You have to believe in yourself, the Korean team is not that scary."

"That's right, just now Tianxiang told me that he plans to score three in this game." Wu Jin interjected.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed.

Li Tianxiang glared at Wu Jin, this guy came as soon as he opened his mouth, but he thought it was a good opportunity to cheer everyone up, and hurriedly said: "It's not a big problem, we have completed the task, this game is over, and the South Korean team also that's it."

……

After reaching the semi-finals, Chinese fans can already watch the game with a peaceful mind.Although the South Korean team is very strong, and China is always afraid of Korea, but football is round, and if it didn't work in the past, it doesn't mean it won't work this time.

"This is the second game of the semi-finals of the Asian Youth Championship. Australia had already defeated Japan to enter the finals earlier. This game has been a long-awaited game. Our national youth team played well and reached the fourth round after 12 years. Strong, facing their old rival South Korea, this time they are also full of confidence. Before the game, our top scorer Li Tianxiang said that this game still has to score 3 goals, I don’t know what Director Zhang thinks.” Duan Xuan still partnered with Zhang Lu to explain the book games.

"What do you think, hey, I think it's okay." Zhang Lu said, "I also feel that he can get three."

"Hey, Director Zhang is not so low-key anymore." Duan Xuan smiled and said, "This is not your style."

"Yeah, maybe it's been a long time since we commented on our semi-finals. I'm a little excited." Zhang Lu added: "Besides, Li Tianxiang has scored 13 goals. This is the time when the feet are hot, and we can just watch."

"Okay, the players have entered the field. The starting lineups of the two teams have not changed much. The Chinese team is still the most familiar 433 formation. Frontcourt center Zhang Boyuan, right winger Li Tianxiang, left winger Wu Jin, center midfielder Yang Yilin, Liu Yuanbo, midfielder Huang Wenzhuo, defensive line left back Xu Haofeng, center back Yang Xu, Jiang Sheng, right back Sun Han, starting goalkeeper Peng Peng; South Korea's 343 formation, forwards Huang Xizhan, Huang Yizhu, Cao Guicheng, center Jung Woo-young, Baek Ho-sang, Lee Jae-sung, Na Sang-ko, defender Kim Young-jun, Kwon Kyung-won, Park Ji-soo, and goalkeeper Song Bum-geun."

About 4 fans poured into the game, including about 3 Chinese fans, and there are many Chinese and overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia.However, since the home colors of the two teams are both red, the stands look extraordinarily harmonious, all red, very festive and enthusiastic.

In this game, the South Korean team got the home team uniform and wore red, while the Chinese team had to wear white away team uniform.After presiding over the side selection, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

The South Korean team kicked off first, and Huang Xizhan passed the ball to Cao Guicheng, and then started to advance.

The South Korean team's advance speed is not fast, but they can effectively advance the ball to the Chinese team's half court, and the players' passing and receiving are very smooth.

In particular, the four midfielders of the South Korean team are worthy of participating in the national team's competitions since the youth team. They have a high degree of tacit understanding and a relatively solid foundation. Several attempts to rob all failed.

However, the players of the national youth team were not too frustrated. They knew the opponent's strength well in their previous matches with the South Korean team, and Chen Yaodong also arranged for a counterattack.The Chinese team did not intend to gain an advantage on the field immediately, but planned to gain a chance to counterattack through a solid defense.

Yang Xu and Jiang Sheng guarded the middle, and the midfielder Huang Wenzhuo became the busiest person in the National Youth Team. In order to prevent the South Korean team from passing the ball too comfortably, Huang Wenzhuo could only use non-stop running to force the South Korean team.

The three forwards of the Chinese team never returned to the defense, which made the defenders of the South Korean team dare not rush forward.

"The Chinese team started a little passively. The South Korean team deserves to be a powerful Asian team. However, the current defense of the Chinese team is still solid. The Korean team's possession of the ball has not been converted into effective scoring opportunities, and the Chinese team's three forwards have always remained in front. This is also a kind of containment for the South Korean team."

The game went on for 10 minutes, and neither side had any chances to score. South Korea's Huang Xizhan tried a long shot in front of the penalty area. Because the angle was too straight, it did not bring any challenge to the goalkeeper. The Chinese team has yet to shoot.

For the two teams with strong offensive firepower, this kind of opening is relatively peaceful.

The fans of the Chinese team felt a little anxious and began to cheer for the National Youth Team loudly.

Chen Yaodong felt that the situation was very good on the sidelines. Although the South Korean team controlled the ball, the Chinese team's defense was very good. South Korea's short pass could not penetrate the Chinese team's penalty area at all.No matter how the South Korean team passes the ball, they can only try their luck through long-range shots, but for the Chinese team with a meticulous defensive formation, such long-range shots are not threatening. Under the interference of defensive players, the quality of South Korea's long-range shots is not high. .

As for the high ball, the Korean striker can't take advantage of the tall Chinese defender. First stabilize the situation, and there will always be opportunities to attack.

Chen Yaodong has never doubted his team's offensive firepower, Zhang Boyuan's containment ability, combined with Li Tianxiang and Wu Jin's rush, even the South Korean team is not sure that this combination can be easily resolved.As long as there is a chance, Li Tianxiang's speed will definitely make the proud Koreans pay in blood.

If Zhang Boyuan is the bridgehead of the attack and Wujin is the transfer point, then Li Tianxiang is the absolute blasting point for the Chinese team.

These three will be the protagonists of this game. In Chen Yaodong's tactics, this is the key to defeating the South Korean team.
