Coaches like Zheng Weifeng were right. The South Korean team fought so hard for the midfield because they wanted to score points right from the start.
The Chinese team never thought that they would meet the South Korean team in the semi-finals, and the South Korean team actually didn't expect it either.
They are not first in the group?
What a shame!
How to cleanse this shame?
Just win!
Beat the Chinese team, win the final, and win the entire competition!
This is easier said than done, especially since the Chinese team is so incredibly strong this year.
How come a player like Wang Yajing appears?
Well, there is no point in discussing how it happened, but rather, what are they going to do?
Several members of the Korean coaching team have held many meetings in the past few days, and finally decided on the current policy - to fight for the midfield!
They did not allow the Chinese team's ball to pass the midfield and contained Wang Yijing from the beginning. On this basis, they took the ball as much as possible. If they could score points at the beginning, they would open up the situation.
Both sides were trying to score points, so the game was full of tension from the very beginning.
The Chinese team failed to get into the front court after several attempts. The South Korean team wanted to take the ball but was well protected by the Chinese team.
The ball came to Yang Mo again. She tried to dribble it forward but failed. She then passed the ball to Che Yitong with a side kick. Che Yitong received the ball, but almost immediately, she found herself surrounded.
Fighting for the midfield is only the first strategy of the South Korean team. If they cannot compete for the midfield, there will definitely be loopholes. Any long kick or long pass can pass the ball to the front.
But we can only let the ball go here, and we must not let the Chinese team have any time to relax.
Che Yitong's position was already relatively forward, and the South Korean team could not let her score again. She took two steps with the ball and passed a South Korean player, but could not pass the second one. Seeing that the ball was about to be lost, she had no choice but to pass the ball again. She wanted to pass the ball to No. 11, but at the same time she passed the ball, No. 16 of the South Korean team squeezed her. Although she still kicked the ball out, it was a little high, and the ball went directly past No. 11. Yang Mo wanted to step forward to grab the ball, but was headed by No. 6 of the South Korean team.
The ball immediately reached the frontcourt of the South Korean team!
South Korea's number 10 got the ball.
At this moment, the ball is on the right side. At this moment, Xu Aidi is the only one defending here!
Number 10 was about to move forward with the ball, Xu Aidi kept blocking him, Zhang Sheng was chasing him from behind, followed by other Korean and Chinese players. Seeing that the main force was about to come over and it was difficult to break through, Number 10 kicked the ball directly, and the football went straight to the goal. The goalkeeper jumped but failed to stop it.
The ball goes in!
At the sixth minute and eleven seconds of the game, the South Korean team took the first point!
Moreover, this ball was scored in the penalty area. Although it was a straight ball, it was still a highlight!
Number 10 jumped high and shouted something. The South Korean team cheered and some even shouted "World Wave"!
Well, this ball cannot be called a world wave, but the combination of this goal is indeed very beautiful.
The South Korean team's head coach Choi Se-ho was grinning from ear to ear. They scored a point, they scored first!
After getting this point, the morale of the Korean team soared, and they ran more actively. The head coach rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Keep going! Keep going--"
In the 13th minute, they almost scored again.
That ball was almost a replica of the previous one.
This time, Yang Mo made no mistakes in passing the ball, but the Korean team's No. 9 intercepted the ball first and then made a long pass directly to the far end. It was also because Xu Aidi controlled the ball more tightly this time, otherwise he might have scored another goal.
"The speed of the South Korean team..." Jiang Hua frowned, "It seems a little different from previous games."
"It's a little different." Brother Wei said.
Unlike the players, they don't have to train, so they will not only watch the Chinese team's games, but also the games of other countries if they can catch up.
They don't have special instruments, but it feels like the Korean team is faster overall this time.
They can all feel it, not to mention coaches like Zheng Weifeng. Although for various reasons she cannot attend every game of the Korean team, she has watched the videos of all the games this time and can feel the difference now.
“Coach—” Coach Li frowned and wanted to say something.
"Don't be impatient." Zheng Weifeng said.
"but--"
"Don't be impatient."
Coach Li said nothing more. She couldn't sustain such a fast speed. But looking at the current situation, she couldn't help but feel anxious. Especially the Korean team consumed a lot of energy, but the Chinese team also consumed a lot of energy in the opponent's rhythm. If they score another goal...
She shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and just stared at the arena nervously.
The game was in a stalemate. The South Korean team failed to score the previous goal, but they managed to grab the ball. Although the Chinese team blocked tightly and did not let them score again, they also got the ball twice, but it was quickly snatched away by the South Korean team again.
In the next ten minutes or so, the South Korean team continued to attack the Chinese team's defense line with speed.
In the 27th minute, the Korean team's No. 10 passed the ball at a small angle, and Xu Aidi jumped up and blocked the ball with her chest;
In the 29th minute, Zhang Sheng brushed the ground and kicked the ball out.
The South Korean team got a corner kick. Xu Aidi had the advantage in headers and headed out the penalty shot by No. 10. However, No. 6 of the South Korean team was quick-eyed and quick-footed and made another direct shot from the penalty area. Fortunately, Yang Mo blocked it with his knee and it did not go in. However, the South Korean team got another corner kick.
In the 33rd minute, South Korea's No. 10 stood at the corner kick penalty area for the second time.
She swung her feet first, then looked towards the playground.
On the bench, her teammates were cheering her on loudly, while the Chinese team was saying the opposite.
Number 10 licked her lips and glanced at her teammates and opponents opposite her. When she saw Wang Yijing, her gaze lingered for a moment, and then she kicked hard.
She wants to go straight in!
At this time, many players of the Chinese team made the same judgment. Zhang Sheng made an angled run inside, and the goalkeeper went to block the upper right corner.
But this ball is a long way off!
The ball went straight to the far end, where the Korean team members were lying in ambush. She kicked the ball directly to the left. Number 11 received the ball and kicked it directly into the goal!
The goalkeeper is really helpless!
Some Chinese players tried to save the ball, but in the chaos, they were unable to form a good defense, and the ball went in again!
In the 34th minute of the first half, the South Korean team scored another goal!
2:0!
The head coach of the South Korean team almost jumped up, and all the players cheered together.
Two goals!
They got two balls!
The South Korean team replaced a defensive player.
"Coach!" Coach Li couldn't help but speak again. Zheng Weifeng nodded and said nothing. She also felt that the current situation was not very good, especially after the South Korean team strengthened its defensive player, but she always felt that she needed to wait a little longer, and at this moment, the ball came to Wang Yijing.
The methods used by the South Korean team against Wang Yijing can be said to be the culmination of all the methods used by Wang Yijing's opponents in the past.
There is no need to talk about the competition for the midfield, and then it comes to positioning.
Australia found a tall and strong player to defend Wang Yijing, while the South Korean team found a player with extremely fast speed to do the job. However, she did not press Wang Yijing closely, but instead made steals from a distance. Whenever there was a possibility that Wang Yijing could get the ball, she would rush to get the ball first, even if the ball was not Wang Yijing's, she would rush to get it first.
In terms of speed, Wang Yijing was no worse than her, but in terms of awareness... sadly, she was really a little behind, so she was often ahead of her, so in the entire first half, it could not be said that Princess Wang did not get a single ball, but it was almost the same.
Needless to say, Princess Wang was very angry!
If this were in a comic, your hair would stand up.
During this process, she kept trying to find opportunities, but there was no way. The ball rarely leaked to the front court, and if it did, it might not leak to her. If it leaked to her... she might not be able to react as quickly as others.
But this time, Wang Yijing got it!
After losing two goals, some players on the field felt uncomfortable, some were worried, and some were depressed, like Zhang Sheng!
Her repression is not the repression of frustration, but the repression of anger, which is somewhat similar to Wang Yijing. She did touch the ball many times, but as a midfielder, she was unable to break apart the opponent and failed to mobilize the team!
She kept running on the court, running when she had the ball and running when she didn't. The Korean team couldn't help but be led by her, and then she found an opportunity. At that time, Yang Mo had the ball. When Yang Mo couldn't break through, she waved her hand and Yang Mo immediately passed the ball to her.
Zhang Sheng turned around as soon as she received the ball, and almost at the same time, South Korea's No. 17 blocked her. She made an emergency stop, and No. 17 failed to stop in time and ran over. Zhang Sheng changed direction and started running, and the South Korean team's player stuck to her to defend her.
Zhang Sheng was fast enough, and those from the Korean team were not much slower either. They both ran to the sidelines. Just as Zhang Sheng was about to go out of the baseline, she suddenly stopped and passed the ball back!
And behind her is Wang Yijing!
The Korean players on the field were stunned, and those off the field were also a little dumbfounded. They had only one common question at this time - Wang Yajing, how did she get here? !
The author has something to say:
There was a bug in Chapter 121. The first goalkeeper of the Chinese team was Ma Qing, who had appeared before, but I forgot about it. Embarrassing... Then, a classmate mentioned a draw. There was another draw in the group stage, but no draw in the knockout stage. If the game can’t be decided in normal time, it will go into overtime. If it still doesn’t work in overtime, it will go into penalty shootouts. The winner must be determined. In 1999, China played against the United States and lost in a penalty shootout... In fact, the home court was in the United States, not only did they toss us back and forth, but one ball was called offside, otherwise...
