Chapter 19: Each Shows His Magical Powers (Part 2)

After Wu Jie scored a goal, he rushed to the sideline again, running and making the iconic celebration of "shooting with a gun", which immediately caused the audience to burst into cheers like a mountain and a tsunami!

But the biggest contributor to the goal is actually Gu Guangming. His high-speed change of direction ability and emergency stop smash are not like those of an Asian player. At this level, he is fully capable of playing in Europe.

Many scouts from Europe have written down the name of this Chinese player in their books. It is of course impossible for a player of this level to go to a wealthy club, but he already has the ability to play for a mid-to-lower team.

If he is not too old, it is not impossible to go further in the future, such as playing the main role in a mid-to-lower team.

But Cha Bum-gen was leaning in to watch Wu Jie celebrating. His performance today was completely overshadowed by this 17-year-old guy.

But this cannot be blamed on his lack of effort, but on the lack of support from his teammates, which is completely different from when he played in Frankfurt.

The South Korean team's midfield obviously lacks control and the ability to find opportunities, nor does it have the initiative to break through like Rong Zhixing. They can't hold the ball in positional battles, and they can't break out of the encirclement when they rush.

Even he himself felt a lot of pressure. The Chinese defenders around him were like dog-skin plasters and almost destroyed the few opportunities he had.

Chi Shangbin's performance today was also remarkable. The few threatening passes the South Korean team's midfielder made were basically destroyed by him.

This defense general who was born in a military team will not mention the pitfalls he will face when he becomes a coach in the future, but he did make great contributions to the national team as a player.

Chi Shangbin suffered a lot when he faced Cha Bum-geun two years ago. Since then, he has been studying ways to deal with the South Korean star. In addition, he has played more and more games against strong Asian teams, especially in the past six months when he was defeated by Wu Jie.

After repeated education, this 30-year-old backcourt player actually made progress.

Of course, Cha Bum-geun is not famous in vain, but compared with Wu Jie, he definitely pales in comparison.

How could the defenders of the Chinese team not improve after being tortured by Wu Jie for half a year in team training?

In the 31st minute of the first half, Cha Bum-gen finally got the best chance of the game today.

Zhao Guanglai staggered and passed an overhead ball under the pressure of Zuo Shusheng, but I don't know if he was blinded. This random pass actually penetrated the Chinese team's defense from above.

Cha Bum-geun finally showed off the strength of the Bundesliga's top forward this time. He used his strong body and faster speed to receive this rare pass, and then carried Chi Shangbin's defense into the penalty area and immediately shot!

"Don't even think about scoring a goal!"

Li Fusheng, the Chinese goalkeeper, has been unable to show his strength in this Asian Cup.

This is because the Chinese team's frontcourt is too strong. In order to ensure that they don't concede the ball first and to prevent the Chinese team's defensive counterattack, their opponents basically do not dare to invest too many troops in the attack. This makes it difficult for him to show his saving ability.

.

Facing Cha Bum-gen's shot this time, the Chinese goalkeeper, who is less than 1.8 meters tall but reacts extremely quickly, made a wonderful save and fell down to block the football.

Cai Jinbiao kicked the ball out of the sideline before the South Korean players, and the crisis was over.

Cha Bum-gen knelt on the ground and covered his face with his hands, looking extremely annoyed.

His shot was already a one-shot, but Li Fusheng grasped the timing of the attack very well and reacted very quickly, and he actually blocked the ball.

Chi Shangbin breathed a sigh of relief. He was frightened half to death by the sudden ball.

He never expected that the South Korean team's long pass would be so accurate, hitting the middle between the defense and the goalkeeper. At this time, he was certainly not as fast as the 27-year-old Cha Bum-geun.

Fortunately, Li Fusheng helped him complete the remedy, otherwise the promise to freeze Cha Bumgen before the game would have turned into a joke.

The South Korean team's one-on-one kick turned into a corner kick. This threat to the Chinese team is not great. Chi Shangbin and Cai Jinbiao are both big men over 1.8 meters tall. The Chinese team is one of the best in terms of air defense ability among Asian teams.

The South Korean team's heading ability is very average.

Chi Shangbin pushed the ball out, and Zuo Shusheng immediately launched a counterattack after taking the ball.

Li Kangzhu stepped forward to press, Zuo Shusheng accelerated and suddenly dunked. Instead of passing the ball out as usual, he chose to use his personal skills to break through.

This choice exceeded the expectations of the South Korean players. Zuo Shusheng's previous performance has always been a defensive midfielder with abundant physical fitness, good at defense, fast ball speed, and non-sticky ball.

Now he suddenly becomes an attacking midfielder like Rong Zhixing, which is really unexpected.

Zuo Shusheng usually keeps a low profile, but with so many scouts today, he also wanted to show off his personal abilities!

But he did not intend to pass people continuously. This is not his area of ​​expertise. Facing another South Korean player Park Kyung-hun's defense, he passed the ball to Shen Xiangfu who was left open on the left in time.

Shen Xiangfu's talent is somewhat lower than that of Gu Guangming, but he has his own characteristics. Compared with Gu Guangming, who can rush forward with his big feet and make sudden stops and starts and sharp changes of direction during the breakthrough, this guy from Beijing

The team's wingers are better at dazzling people in a rhythmic manner.

Zhang Wailong saw that Shen Xiangfu wanted to penetrate into the penalty area, so he had no choice but to give up guarding Wu Jie with Park Chenghua and go to defend Shen Xiangfu, who was more threatening in this attack.

When Shen Xiangfu was dribbling at high speed, facing Zhang Wailong who was rushing toward him, he first slowed down and made an outward step with his left foot to interfere with the opponent's center of gravity. Then he quickly moved to the right with the outside of his right foot, using his excellent sense of rhythm to successfully change direction.

He passed Zhang Wailong who was on an unsteady footing.

The South Korean players were shocked. As soon as Zhang Wailong was passed, a three-defense and four-defense situation was formed near the penalty area.

Now they either have to let go of one of Wu Jie, Zhao Dayu, and Gu Guangming, or they have to look forward to Wu Yanjiao's duel with Shen Xiangfu. He must block this one-on-one ball like Li Fusheng.

But unfortunately, Cha Bum-gen had to take a shot immediately when faced with a quick defense, and did not have enough time to find an angle.

Shen Xiangfu got so much space this time that he could even consider rushing to the small penalty area and shooting again, because Wu Yanjiao didn't dare to attack at all, otherwise his casual pass to his teammates would result in an empty goal.

This made Wu Yanjiao curse in his heart. Sure enough, Shen Xiangfu rushed to the small penalty area with the ball, and then shot a powerful shot.

South Korea's head coach Kim Jong-nam had closed his eyes at this time. He knew that at such a close distance, no matter how bad his footwork was, it would be difficult to miss!

As long as Shen Xiangfu doesn't hit the goalkeeper, he won't have time to make a save from this distance.

But Wu Yanjiao still tried his best. He predicted a direction in advance and fell to the ground to save.

It's a pity that Shen Xiangfu's shot was from the upper third. Wu Yanjiao could only watch the football pass over him and finally fall into the goal!

The audience's applause and cheers this time were not as loud as when Wu Jie scored, but Shen Xiangfu's goal was actually more beautiful than before. He penetrated the entire left wing by himself, killing two people in a row. It is definitely a very classic long-distance attack to score a goal in the small penalty area.

The European scout quickly wrote down another name in his notebook. This offense had nothing to do with Wu Jie. It basically relied on the performance of Zuo Shusheng and Shen Xiangfu.

Both of these people look good, especially Shen Xiangfu, the left midfielder, who also showed very good offensive ability on the wing. His ball feel and foot skills look very good. This is an offensive winger worth investigating. /Wide midfielder.

Cha Bum-gen now wanted to curse: "You're having a bad time!"

He now finally knows why the South Korean team lost so miserably in the first game!

When he played against the Chinese team two years ago, Shen Xiangfu was still a substitute. Gu Guangming, Zuo Shusheng, and Zhao Dayu had not yet entered the national team, and Wu Jie didn't even know where he was.

Therefore, the South Korean team at that time could still hold a 50-50 draw with the Chinese team without him. Once he was added to the team, they would definitely have the upper hand.

But let’s not talk about Wu Jie now. These two wingers alone can pose a great threat to them. Our own center and back line are not as good as the opponent. It is useless to call him back in this kind of game!

Now isn't this giving away the only fig leaf?

There is nothing wrong with Cha Bum-gen's idea. The South Korean team's current overall strength does have too many shortcomings. Relying on an outstanding forward alone cannot cause a qualitative change, but it has become a mess!

The South Korean team was able to enter the World Cup in 1986. In addition to the old and strong Cha Bum-geun, the key was that they also had the grown-up Choi Chun-ho, and the newcomer Wang Jinzhi who played on the left, and the amazing right-winger at that time. The golden bell husband.

With such a lineup, coupled with a tenacious midfield and defense, the South Korean team truly has the strength to be the number one in Asia. The Chinese team has never defeated South Korea since then.
