Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 86 Suicide?
The Chinese and Korean teams can be said to be the most topical old enemies in Asian football.Although the historical record is strong and weak, and the strength is not comparable, but this does not affect the attention that each confrontation between the two teams can bring.

As Wen Zhihao said, historical records are just a reference. If they can be used as the basis for winning or losing, what is the need for competitive sports?

Korean-phobia?To be honest, Chinese fans have never been convinced in their hearts.

Since the World Cup in 02, the whole world has known that the South Koreans at home will use off-the-ball tactics to the extreme.Before the expedition, many media reminded the national football team to beware of opponents' outside moves.The Football Association's logistical support this time is also unprecedentedly strong.Chartered flights, self-provided chefs, special personnel to inspect the hotel situation and competition venues, etc., fully considered the various needs of the team.

Surprisingly, until the start of the game, the team's normal rhythm was not hindered too much, and the Koreans rarely upheld the "spirit of fair play."

Domestic netizens unexpectedly pointed the finger at the national football team: It's not because they play too badly!Even such a cunning stick doesn't need to be tricked outside the market, that's how confident we are in winning, okay?Hey, I hope they can lift their spirits this time.

The South Korean media encouraged the team from another angle.Judging from the number of returned players from both sides, the South Korean team has an overwhelming advantage of 10:2.Moreover, Wen Zhihao is the only Chinese team that can secure a strong position in Europe, and he is still in the Eredivisie, which has not belonged to the top European league for a long time.In contrast to the South Korean team, almost all returnees from Europe are in the Premier League, Bundesliga clubs, and the last time is the Portuguese Super League.Sun Xingmin, who plays for Tottenham, is the most valuable Asian player today, and is praised by the Korean media as a representative of Asian players in Europe.

The most interesting match between China and South Korea, is there really such a huge difference, is there no suspense?

Korean national team training camp.

Stillik, a German, was smoking a cigar and frowning. There were stacks of video materials on the table in front of him. He was staring at the screen, thinking.

How to deal with him?
Stillik has been asking himself this question over and over again, but he has never had an answer.

"Uli, here is what you want, Wen Zhihao's activity area heat map and main technical features." The assistant held a stack of bound papers and handed them to Stillik.

Stillik quickly took it over, he was worried that he couldn't find a good solution, this information was just in time!
That's right, what Stielike is worrying about is how to restrict Wen Zhihao.In his opinion, only Wen Zhihao can pose a huge threat to the South Korean team's defense.Everyone else is nothing to worry about.

But when he picked up the documents and looked at them, Stillik was dumbfounded.

The heat map shows that Wen Zhihao's active area can cover almost the entire midfield, and most of the hot spots are dark, which means that as long as Wen Zhihao is on the field, he can continuously focus on the defense of these areas.

Nima, how can we prevent this?
Send someone to guard against Wen Zhihao?

Give me a break!

He is younger than the defensive players on his side, not one or two years old, and his range of activities is so large. If he competes with others in physical fitness, wouldn't that be death.

"Uli, why don't we use normal strength to defend, anyway, we have an absolute advantage in the strength of other players." The assistant suggested.

"Nick, don't underestimate the enemy!" Stillik retorted immediately.

Stillik has won the Champions League and Europa League in his player career, and played for the super giant Real Madrid.After taking up the coaching position, he has coached in Spain, Germany, and Switzerland successively. He knows too well that ignoring any player may cause serious consequences.

Just like two armies confronting each other in a war, one side may have aircraft and cannons with sufficient ammunition, while the opponent may only have millet and rifles.But so what, as long as he was hit by a bullet, he would still die.

The same goes for football games.Regardless of the strength of the opponent, even if only one player is a threat, as long as the ball is kicked into your goal, then you are a loser.

Similarly, Wen Zhihao was holding back his energy.The grievances between China and South Korea football have been rooted in the bones of every generation of players since they were young.And Wen Zhihao also wanted to see how good Sun Xingmin, the "Asian representative" in the opponent team, was.

……

On the day of the game, the vast majority of football fans across China sat in front of the screen through various channels.The first match of the national team's return to the top Asian stage of the world preliminaries, the first performance of the "No. [-] Rising Star" Wen Zhihao's national team career...

Numerous highlights have made the national football team attract everyone's attention again.

An hour before the start of the game, the AFC officially released the starting lists of both sides, which immediately caused an uproar.

Wen Zhihao is not in the starting lineup of the Chinese team!
Chinese fans immediately began to spray Gao Hongbo's formation in the barrage comment area of ​​the live webcast.

Although He Wei, who was commentating on the spot in Seoul, had the same thoughts as the fans, but as a commentator, he had to express it more tactfully.

"Today's start of the Chinese team is indeed a little surprising. Wen Zhihao, who the fans are very concerned about, did not get the start. Perhaps the head coach Gao Hongbo has a special tactical arrangement..."

Wen Zhihao was a little surprised and disappointed.His national team debut does not look so smooth!

Stillik won the starting list of the Chinese team, not only did not breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned even deeper, and there was an inexplicable panic in his heart.

If Wen Zhihao came on as a substitute in the second half, would the defensive line, which consumes a lot of energy, be able to withstand the impact of this powerful new force?

In this game, the Chinese team formed a 5-3-2 formation that is rarely used in China. The old captain Zheng Zhi retreated to the center of the three backs, and the two fast horses Sun Ke and Wuqi Wang were on the front line.It can be seen from the formation that the head coach Gao Hongbo's guiding ideology of defending the counterattack.

A football field is a battlefield.Fans with a little common sense know that the confrontation between the two teams has always been that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.As soon as they come up, they put on the "bus" tactics of shrinking, first of all, they are weaker in momentum.

What's more, when the opponent's strength is obviously stronger, defending to the death is often equal to defending to the death!
Papa Wen, who is experienced in watching football, shook his head like many senior fans, feeling ominous.

This is committing suicide!

Unsurprisingly, the South Korean team had the upper hand from the start.The midfielder led by the returnees Gu Zizhe and Ji Chengyong firmly suppressed Huang Bowen, Wu Xi and Yu Hai. The defense of the national football team suffered round after round of strong attacks from the very beginning.

No. In the 201st minute, Zhang Linpeng was caught by Sun Xingmin's speed on the wing. In desperation, he could only pull down the opponent from behind. The South Korean team won a free kick from outside the penalty area on the right.

Sun Xingmin performed the knife himself, with an extremely flat arc, and the ball fell straight to the goal at an extremely fast speed. The players on both sides in the front and middle failed to reach the ball.

"Oh! Zheng Zhi accidentally scored an own goal in this set-piece defense! The Chinese team fell into a passive position in the score because of this accidental ball!"

He Wei's tone was full of regret.

The online barrage comment area was dominated again, fans expressed all kinds of dissatisfaction, and one of the most popular points was——

If Wen Zhihao doesn't control the midfield, he deserves it!The national football team is killing itself!
