Chapter 354 Olympic Men's Football Quarter-finals

"CCTV! CCTV!"

"Good evening, audience friends!"

"Now broadcasting for you is the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Men's Football Quarter-Match!"

"China vs. South Korea!"

"The two teams had previously faced each other in the U23 Asian Cup. Now that they meet again after six months, what kind of sparks will be created?"

"Let's wait and see!"

"By the way, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams. Both teams have fielded their full main players!"

South Korea (4-4-2): Goalkeeper: Song Bum-keun Defenders: Seol Young-woo, Jung Tae-wook, Kim Min-jae, Kang Yun-sung Midfielders: Lee Dong-jun, Lee Kang-in, Kim Dong-hyun, Kim Jin- ji Midfielder: Lee Dong-kyung Forward: Hwang Eui-jo China (4-3-3): Goalkeeper: Chen Wei

Defenders: Zhao Jianfei, Zhu Chenjie, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Boxuan Midfielders: Huang Zhengyu, Wu Xi, Cao Yongjing Forwards : Wu Lei, Chu Feng, Lin Liangming "Although Son Heung-min, Jung Woo-young and others are not here, this South Korean team is still full of threats. I hope the boys of the National Olympic Team can guard against arrogance and take this game seriously!"

“I also hope that they can realize their dreams and achieve good results!”

At this moment in the Saitama 2002 Stadium, the Chinese team wearing red jerseys and the South Korean team wearing white jerseys are at the two ends of the green field.

The clear white midfield line seemed to be the boundary between Chu and Han on the battlefield.

Everyone was on high alert, waiting for the shrill whistle to sound and then start the war.

Beep!!! The whistle echoed in the grand stadium, Chu Feng kicked the ball back to Wu Xi, who continued to pass it back.

The knockout stage is different from the group stage, everyone is obviously more cautious.

Why? Because there is no chance to make up for it in the knockout rounds, and losing means packing up and going home.

For the Korean players, going home means serving in the army. The Korean army pays attention to seniority, so it is normal for seniors to bully juniors.

Asking them to wash their underwear is considered good. Some perverted veterans like to play with the new recruits, or let them clean the toilet with their hands, and then force them to suck their fingers.

Therefore, for any normal Korean, military service will have a huge psychological impact.

Fight! This emotion is expressed on the court by fighting for the ball every time.

Bang! With a beautiful arc, the football fell into the heart of the South Korean team.

Kim Min-jae is very positive! When he returned to Korea, he made it clear in an interview with the media: "The level of the club's defenders is not good enough, and I often have to do the work of two or three people."

Well, that's indeed true.

Kim Min-jae, who transferred for 5.2 million euros, has now seen his value skyrocket to 15 million euros. His ability is naturally top-notch in the Chinese Super League.

But when facing the top player in active football, he felt unprecedented pressure.

It was like facing off against a mad tsunami; the strong impact force was shocking and made him retreat uncontrollably.

After an intense physical confrontation, Chu Feng's body shook slightly, and he quickly regained his balance and controlled the ball.

Zheng Taiyu on the side, Li Gangren in front of him, and Kim Min-jae who rushed over, the three of them surrounded him and wrapped him like a dumpling.

Without getting entangled with the three players, he passed the ball back to Wu Xi who was making a forward run, and the latter made a light pass to him.

The target is not the two wings, but the front of the penalty area.

Chu Feng turned around immediately after passing the ball back, and carried Kim Min-jae to the top of the penalty area. When Kim Min-jae held him with his hands and feet, he unexpectedly shook his head and rubbed back.

After being passed, the football flew into the sky and landed right in front of the running Wu Lei.

No one expected the opportunity to come so quickly.

Including Wu Lei.

The high-level game left him little time to adjust, and his hasty shot before Kang Yun-sung could intercept it did not pose a threat to Jeonbuk Hyundai goalkeeper Song Fangen.

Song Fanggen knelt on one knee and scooped the ball into his arms, yelling at his teammates to hurry up and get into position because they were going to launch a counterattack.

Wu Lei had no time to feel upset and quickly returned to defense with Chu Feng.

"The National Olympic Team played very actively at the beginning! In contrast, the South Korean team seemed to be defensive. Did they want to use the space to launch a quick counterattack?"

"But from a bird's eye view, the Chinese Olympic team's backcourt was indeed a little empty. Fortunately, the pressing intensity in the midfield and frontcourt was strong enough, otherwise it would have been easy for the Korean team to pass the ball, which might have posed a threat."

"Hey, it seems like there's a chance! Lin Liangming breaks through the wing and falls to the ground and sweeps across the middle!"

On the court, Chu Feng caught the ball and turned around gracefully, but fell to the ground the next moment, with sharp pains in his waist and abdomen.

Damn, the stick is so dirty.

The moment he turned around, he noticed Li Gangren's action, secretly raised his elbow and hit him in the ribs.

But from a visual point of view, it looked like he bumped into it himself.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to make accurate judgments.

The referee didn't say anything, so the South Korean team naturally didn't stop and launched a counterattack.

"Tsk——" Chu Feng spat, looked back at Li Gangren, and said nothing.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Similar to Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, South Korea has already regarded fouls as a conventional weapon.

It's impossible to reason with them, so we can only give them an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Then, just seven minutes later, he found an opportunity.

Bang! In the camera, Li Gangren was knocked to the ground, and his head happened to hit Chu Feng's knee, making a crisp sound that made people's teeth ache.

The broadcaster even showed slow-motion footage, in which the two players tripped over each other and fell down while fighting for the half ball.

It was just that Li Gangren was unlucky and unfortunately hit his head while rolling.

Of course, he certainly didn't think so, so he lay on the ground wailing in pain, trying to attract the attention of the referee.

But unfortunately, the referee who responded to him was with his arms crossed.

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows at Li Gangren, trying not to make the provocation too obvious.

Don't think of him as anything good.

At the beginning, he fought with Atletico Madrid players and elbowed Tottenham players . The things Li Gangren played with were all his leftovers.

The anger between the two gradually spread, making the Saitama 2002 stadium become irritable.

Coupled with the hot weather, it is difficult for the players, whose hormones are overflowing, to control their emotions.

Beep, beep, beep, beep The rhythm of the game was cut into pieces like a cake, and there was still no goal until the 34th minute of the first half.

It’s just that there are a lot of warnings and yellow cards.

"Hey, Huang Zhengyu knocked down Li Dongjing directly, and the referee showed a yellow card!"

"This is an unnecessary foul! Even if he gets there, he won't pose a threat. Getting a card too early will affect the rhythm of substitutions!"

"I think Lippi's angry look in the coaching booth just now should be to let the players control their emotions!"

"I think the young man from the National Olympic Team should really calm down. Judging from the first 30 minutes, the outcome of this game should be decided in the second half."

“.”

He Wei's guess was correct, Lippi was indeed angry. Young people are prone to getting angry, and since the opponent was South Korea, everyone was emotional.

However, everyone quickly regained their senses after hearing Lippi's roar.

Suddenly, two short whistles sounded, and the first half of the game came to an end.
