Chapter 33 Opponents and Expectations
While the fans in England were crazy about Li Qingshan's senior year, Li Qingshan had already appeared at Dalian Airport at around [-]:[-] noon the next day. The team's training location was chosen in Dalian, a football city close to the Korean Peninsula.Outside the exit of the airport, crowds of fans were here to welcome Li Qingshan's return early on.

Li Qingshan's reputation in the domestic football world has already broken through the peak. After helping Manchester United win the historic treble last season, Li Qingshan has become indisputably the number one star in the hearts of Chinese domestic fans.

After all, Manchester United is a bigger giant than Atletico Madrid, and in Asia, Manchester United's influence far exceeds that of Atletico Madrid.Unlike Messi and Ronaldo, who have been arguing for the number one star before, Li Qingshan is the number one in the hearts of Chinese fans at this time - even though he has not yet been certified by the Ballon d'Or.

Outside the airport, the logistics staff of the national team sent a minibus to meet Li Qingshan.With the help of the airport security personnel, Li Qingshan boarded the car and went to the national team's training base in Dalian.

The South Korean team is not an easy opponent. In order to prepare for this game, the Chinese Super League has been suspended for two weeks. Most of the Chinese players are from the Chinese Super League. To be precise, except for Li Qingshan , the other players are all from the Super League.

Therefore, except for Li Qingshan, the players of the other national teams have been training at this training base for two weeks. When Li Qingshan arrives, the team will leave for Seoul, the capital of South Korea, to conduct adaptive training away from home.

This is the top 15 of the World Preliminaries of the National Football Team after 12 years: In 2001, the National Football Team won the tickets for the World Cup finals in Korea and Japan 10 rounds ahead of schedule in the top 2 matches. In the top 32 and top 20 matches, they never made it to the final stage.On the stage of the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese team has not played against the top Asian teams for too long.

After a lapse of 15 years, they entered the final stage of the qualifiers again. The whole Chinese team was quite cautious about the away game against South Korea.

When it comes to South Korea as an opponent, Chinese fans always have various bitter memories in their minds.

Although in the Asian Cup two years ago, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team [-]-[-] with Li Qingshan's goal, but to be honest, when facing the South Korean team, the Chinese team's record was completely at a disadvantage—— Otherwise, there would be such a thing as Koreaphobia.

According to FIFA official statistics, the Chinese men's football team and the South Korean men's football team have faced each other 33 times in history. The Chinese team has 3 wins, 11 draws and 19 losses, scoring 22 goals and conceding 45 goals.In the 33 matches with South Korea, the Chinese team's winning rate is only 9.1%.

In the world preliminaries, the Chinese team faced South Korea once. It was in the 1 World Cup qualifiers held on October 1989, 10. The Chinese team lost 20-1990 to South Korea in Singapore. Jin Zhucheng scored the only goal in the game. ball.The two sides have faced each other 0 times in the warm-up match. The national football team has 1 wins, 27 draws and 2 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 15 goals.The Chinese team defeated South Korea for the first time in the warm-up match in January 19, when the Chinese team defeated South Korea 38-1949.The second victory over South Korea was in the East Asian Championship in 1. At that time, the national football team defeated South Korea 3-2 with the goals of Yu Hai, Gao Lin, and Deng Zhuoxiang, breaking the curse of being invincible against South Korea for 2010 years.The third victory over South Korea was in the 3 Asian Cup. The Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 0-24 in the quarter-finals. Counting the previous victory in the East Asian Cup, this is an international A-level event. The Chinese team faced the South Korean team. The only two victories.

Although China and South Korea are close neighbors, at the level of the national men's football team, there are not many matches between the two sides in major competitions, and most of them appear in friendly matches.

This South Korean team is an out-and-out strong team at the Asian level-even though Li Qingshan is in the Chinese team, this does not mean that the strength of the Chinese team is superior to the opponent.

In the first round of the World Cup qualifier against the Chinese team, the South Korean team announced their 21-man roster.
And this time facing South Korea again, in addition to having 4 backcourt players currently playing in the Super League, South Korea's midfielder can be described as star-studded.In addition to South Korea's beast waist, South Korea Rong, who is currently playing for Galafar SC, there is also Sun Xingmin (3000 million euros), who is currently playing for Tottenham and has created the second highest transfer record for Asian players, and is currently playing for Crystal Palace. There used to be Korean genius boy Lee Ching-yong and Ki Sung-yong who played for Swansea and was hailed as Korea's Gerrard by the Korean media.In addition, there are two players who played for Augsburg in the Bundesliga and Zheng Yourong of the Chinese Super League.In the midfield alone, the nine players of the South Korean team are all overseas players in Europe. Such a luxurious configuration has to make it difficult for the Chinese team to face the South Korean team with ease.

Lippi said in an interview that the South Korean team is a strong opponent. If they want to break through in the top [-], the first match against South Korea is quite crucial. If the biggest opponent of the Chinese team breaks through the group, if they cannot score points on their direct competitors, then the Chinese team will undoubtedly not be too optimistic about the form of the group.

Lippi said that an away game against South Korea must be a difficult game. In Seoul, the Chinese team should at least be guaranteed to get one point.

Unlike Lippi's low-key, the fans of the Chinese team seem very confident about this away trip.

The source of their confidence is naturally Li Qingshan.

Compared with Li Qingshan's starlight, those Korean players in Europe seem to be a foil one by one, like Yinghui compared to Haoyue, even the biggest Korean star Sun Xingmin, compared with Li Qingshan, it seems that he can't stand up.

And the 2014 Asian Cup champion gave the Chinese team fans great confidence.

As long as there is Li Qingshan, the Chinese team can beat all the opponents in Asia - the Asian Cup champion is the proof!
Therefore, in the public opinion of Chinese fans, in this battle between China and South Korea, the fans are more confident than before.

Some media sent out a questionnaire on the website, and the topic was: What do you think of the outcome of the September 9st Sino-Korean war.

As a result, 80.00% chose the Chinese team to win, more than ten percent chose the tie, and only a few percent believed that the Chinese team would lose.

If such a survey had been conducted a few years ago, it is estimated that the results would have been reversed.It can be seen from this that the appearance of Li Qingshan has brought great confidence to the fans.

The fans are full of expectations for the Chinese team to break through the group this time and reach the World Cup finals for the second time.
