Chapter 364 Motivation to Fight (Fill)
The ball hit the goalpost and bounced outward, and was cleared out of the sideline by the Korean team player.

"Ah, the goal post! Didn't make it again... oops!" Liu Jianhong's tone fluctuated, showing how much he regretted the missed opportunity.

But Zhou Tiancheng didn't regret this opportunity. He touched his head after getting up from the ground. He hadn't shot with a header for a long time, and he felt pretty good. He was more confident about his next performance.

The South Korean team was still in shock. Goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong bared his teeth and yelled at the two central defenders: "What are you doing! Two people, can't hold him?"

The two central defenders were very annoyed. Although they didn't say anything, they secretly gave Zheng Chenglong a supercilious look: You come out and try?
Although the Chinese fans in front of the TV were sorry, they were still looking forward to the game after seeing Zhou Tiancheng's performance just after reaching the front.

"Bangzi is optimistic, Chengda still has no solution to play as a striker, hahaha!"

"It is estimated that after playing this stick, there will be collective doubts about life. This is the rhythm of preparing to abuse the midfielder and then abuse the defender."

……

Park Zhixing first realized that it would be impossible to continue playing like this, even he didn't know that Zhou Tiancheng also had this ability on the front line.After making gestures with the head coach Zhao Guanglai, Park Ji-sung gathered everyone together and said, "This is not going to work. Now that Zhou Tiancheng is not in the midfield, we should attack. The Korean team must rely on offense to win! This It's the Asian Cup, not the World Cup, everyone Smecta, it's time to work hard."

Park Ji-sung's words are still very appealing. He is the absolute soul of the Korean team, slightly better than Zhou Tiancheng's current position in the Chinese team. After all, he is facing a group of young people, and dissatisfaction is okay. Go straight to it, and Zhou Tiancheng faced a group of big brothers in the national team. More importantly, he had to stimulate the team's state by uniting his teammates.

The players of the South Korean team are aware that they have to be nervous now. This is the semi-final of the Asian Cup. If they continue to play like this, they may really lose. At that time, not only will they miss the first major championship in their national team career, but they may also be in the finals of the Asian Cup. Park Ji-sung’s national team career left a regretful final touch.

No matter which one, there are enough reasons for them to start to improve their status.

The South Korean team stepped up the pressure in the midfield, and the Chinese team quickly felt the strong pressure. Although Deng Zhuoxiang did have skills at his feet and was very agile with the ball, his physical confrontation ability was not at the same level as Zhou Tiancheng. Facing Kisung Zhou Tiancheng can handle the extremely tough defense, but he is still a little bit worse.

The midfield was disrupted, the Chinese team was forced to withdraw its formation across the board, and the South Korean team's offense began to show its strength.

The situation of the game confirmed a concern of the Chinese media before the game: the Chinese team's defense may be unstable.

In the group stage and the quarter-finals, the Chinese team relied on Zhou Tiancheng's presence to completely control the midfield. The defense line was not really tested. The line of defense immediately exposed loopholes.Especially the area where the central defender Dewey is located was thoroughly beaten by the fast horse Chi Dongyuan of the Korean team.Dewey is the only Chinese team player who has World Cup experience. There is nothing to say about his experience, but his slow speed of turning around and chasing back has always been his biggest loophole. The defense line quickly exposed loopholes.

South Korean reporters and SBS TV commentators gradually showed smiles. They finally saw the "normal" situation, and the South Korean team gradually began to accumulate scene advantages.There was a sneer at the corners of their mouths. Compared with the powerful attack group of the Chinese team, the defense line was really scumbag, like window paper, which could be broken with one poke.

Seeing the Chinese team's defensive players scrambling to fill their positions, they believed that breaking the Chinese team's goal was not far away.

Chi Dongyuan once again broke through Dewey's defense on the right side of the penalty area. This time he chose not to dribble, but looked up to observe Mingtao's position approaching the corner, so he was going to shoot with his left foot directly to the far end .

Ming Tao didn't expect this sudden kick. Although he tried his best to fly out, he was obviously far away from the ball. No matter how long his arms were, he couldn't cover the goal with a width of 7.32 meters.

The hearts of all the Chinese fans were raised in their throats, and Ming Tao's heart was already cold a lot. The ball slowly rotated to the inside. Judging by this trend, it will definitely hit the goal directly.

But at the same time that the ball flew past Ming Tao's limit, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly appeared in the camera, sped up to the point, and pushed the ball over the goal line.

"Hey! Beautiful, Zhou Tiancheng succeeded! But did he come back from the frontcourt? Need to watch the replay again, if so, this is amazing!"

But now the broadcaster has no time to replay, and the Chinese team's offense quickly overwhelmed the South Korean team's halftime.

During the counterattack, Zhou Tiancheng followed up to get the ball, transferred it to Chen Pengfei at the far end, made the same gesture as before, and then quickly came to the penalty area to resist the Korean team defender to seize a favorable position.

Chen Pengfei still made a pass as before. This time, Park Zhixing was prepared and blocked it with his body. Although the ball was coming in this direction, it was obviously not high enough.

Seeing the situation, Zhou Tiancheng took the initiative to step forward to meet the ball. Hong just hugged Zhou Tiancheng with his whole body to prevent him from jumping. In fact, Zhou Tiancheng could forcibly turn around at this time and use the inertia of his body to fall down. It is very likely that he will be sentenced to a point The ball, but Zhou Tiancheng disdains relying on the referee to opportunistically. This is also a disrespect for the efforts of his teammates.

So he was completely in Hong Zhengzheng's "embrace", grabbed the ball the moment it passed by, quickly stretched out his feet and hooked it, relying on his excellent sense of direction to hook towards the goal.

Everyone did not expect this shot, Zheng Chenglong was stunned in place, he never thought that someone would touch this shot, and his own defender had already taken a favorable position in front of the goal.So he didn't move at all.

Fortunately, the ball brushed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Liu Jianhong couldn't help feeling a little regretful: "Ah, if the ball is deflected two centimeters inward, the ball will be there. Zhou Tiancheng is already very accurate. To be able to score like this when he can't see the goal at all, probably scared the opponent into a cold sweat."

This is also the last chance in stoppage time in the first half. The Chinese team showed a different look from the previous China-Korea wars throughout the first half. They had an advantage on the scene. It can be seen that although the opportunity was missed, the scene played by the team was enough to satisfy the fans.

When he walked off the court, Ming Tao ran over and gave Zhou Tiancheng a high-five: "Brother Cheng, thank you just now, I almost blame myself."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "It's meaningless to say that, between us, even if we lose the ball, it's not your fault alone. But you have to make some adjustments. Even if it's for Haozi, this game is also worth it. You have to work hard, and the second half probably depends on you."

Ming Tao's eyes froze, he gritted his teeth and glanced at the South Korean team, patted his chest and assured, "Brother Cheng, look at me, these grandchildren, just come!"
