Chapter 87 Attacking Jeonbuk Hyundai

No.16 Jeonbuk Hyundai Attack

On March 3, at 12:[-] p.m. local time in South Korea.

Outside the Jeonju World Cup Stadium in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, fans from all directions began to gather. Of course, the fans wearing the green jerseys of the home team Jeonbuk Hyundai accounted for the majority.The Guangzhou Evergrande fans wearing red jerseys are like a little red in the green.

At this time, a group of fans in red jerseys came singing along the street outside the Jeonju World Cup Stadium.

They are the Korean Expeditionary Force of the Guangzhou Evergrande Fan Club flying from Guangzhou.They will contribute their own strength to the team away from home.

In addition to the fans flying from Guangzhou, Guangzhou Evergrande officials also gathered Chinese fans studying and working in South Korea in advance, and distributed more than 1000 Guangzhou Evergrande jerseys for free.Many Chinese in South Korea may not be fans of Guangzhou Evergrande. They may support Jiangsu Sainty, Shandong Luneng, BJ Guoan and other domestic clubs in China, but when it comes to the AFC Champions League, most people will let go The grievances and grievances in the country are unanimously supported by Guangzhou Evergrande.

This may be the big difference between Chinese and European football cultures. China does not have a community football culture accumulated more than 100 years ago like England. They can clearly separate "supported clubs" and "my national team". .Manchester United fans will never support Liverpool when they go to the Champions League, and they will even curse Liverpool for a disastrous defeat.But when Gerrard played on behalf of the England team, Manchester United fans in England can turn into England fans and shout for Gerrard.

But in China, it seems that as long as it is an external "outside station", even the competition between clubs must be crowned with such serious words as "national honor".This is more or less the case among the three countries in the East, China, Japan and South Korea.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see Chinese people in South Korea wearing Guangzhou Evergrande jerseys to cheer for Guangzhou Evergrande.Among them, they don't even watch football at all, but at this moment, they are willing to stand up and support their country's team.

The Jeonju World Cup Stadium is a newly built football stadium for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, and it is now the home of Jeonbuk Hyundai.The audience can accommodate 43348 spectators.

There's still an hour to go until the game starts, but the stadium is packed with green Jeonbuk Hyundai fans.Guangzhou Evergrande fans wearing red jerseys sat in the narrow visiting team stands, almost submerged in this sea of ​​green.

The players and coaches of Jeonbuk Hyundai want revenge, and the fans of Jeonbuk Hyundai are no exception.

In fact, South Korean clubs rarely sell all their tickets in the AFC Champions League.Because the AFC Champions League match is in the middle of the week, Koreans are under a lot of work pressure, and many Korean fans will not choose to come to the stadium to watch the game on a weekday night like the middle of the week.But for this game, Jeonbuk Hyundai Club sold out the tickets early.Even many Korean fans entered the stadium by buying high-priced scalpers.

Before the game even started, the home fans made a huge noise. They waved the South Korean flag in their hands. The white, red and blue Taegeuk flag of South Korea and the green jerseys of Jeonbuk complement each other, making this stadium completely isolated from North Korea in March. The bitter cold of the peninsula.

When the players from both sides entered the field, on the stand opposite the player tunnel, the home fans pulled up a huge South Korean flag. demonstration.

Li Qingshan stood in the queue of Guangzhou Evergrande without looking sideways, and walked into this fiery stadium. In his ears, there were the huge voices of more than 4 Korean fans at the scene.

During the handshake of players from both sides, the expressions of the South Korean players in the Jeonbuk Hyundai team seemed to be portrayed in the same mold—they all pursed their mouths tightly, and their eyes were fixed on every Guangzhou Evergrande player who shook hands with him. players.In this way, they expressed their determination for this game.

At this moment, Lippi looked very relaxed. After shaking hands with the acting head coach of the opposing team, he returned to his seat and leisurely lit a cigar.

For Lippi, both the Champions League final and the World Cup final have been mentioned. An ordinary game like the AFC Champions League can hardly cause any waves in his heart.

If there must be something, he has some regrets. The registration rule of the Chinese Super League is 4+1, which means that 4 foreign players can be registered plus one Asian foreign player. The registration rule of the AFC Champions League is 3+1, and there are fewer foreign players than the Chinese Super League. One registration quota.In this case, the team's new foreign players will have no way to register in the AFC Champions League, and naturally they will not be able to play in the AFC Champions League.But now due to Barrios' injury, Lippi can only send two foreign aids in the frontcourt attack group: Conca and Muric.This also frustrated Guangzhou Evergrande's offensive strength a lot.

Fortunately, he still has the player Li Qingshan in his hands, who can more or less make up for the impact of Barrios' injury.It is even possible that because of Barrios' injury, Guangzhou Evergrande's offense will become more direct and sharp.

In this game, due to the lack of Barrios, Lippi arranged a 4231 formation. The goalkeeper is still Zeng Cheng, the central defender Feng Xiaoting partnered with Jin Yingquan, the left defender Sun Xiang, the right defender Zhang Linpeng, captain Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen partnered double midfielders, The front midfielder Kongka, the left midfielder Muric, the right midfielder Rong Hao, and the center position is naturally Li Qingshan.

In Lippi's mind, if the attacking combination of Elkeson, Kongka, Muric, and Li Qingshan in the frontcourt is four, then he doesn't have to worry too much about the offensive strength in this game.And now Rong Hao is assigned to play the position of right forward, so the offense on the right side is obviously not as good as that of Muric on the left.But there are also benefits to deploying Rong Hao-at least the defense on the right will make Lippi feel more at ease.Rong Hao was born as a defender, so he has a certain defensive ability and awareness.

The first kick-off in the first half was from Guangzhou Evergrande. Li Qingshan and Kongka stood in the middle circle and prepared to kick-off.

Following the whistle of the referee, Li Qingshan lightly passed the football to Kongka, then turned and ran forward.After the Jeonbuk Hyundai players kicked off Lee Qingshan, they rushed forward like tigers descending the mountain.

Kongka could only pass the ball back to Zheng Zhi behind him. After Zheng Zhi took the ball, he had no time to adjust. Jeonbuk Hyundai striker Lee Dong-guk had already pounced on him. Zheng Zhi could only give up the option of keeping the ball under his feet. , and pass the ball back.Li Dongguo's speed did not mean to stop at all, he continued to chase the football.

Zheng Zhi passed the ball to the goalkeeper Zeng Cheng. Zeng Cheng saw that Li Dongguo was throwing so fiercely, he could only face the football rolling towards him with a big kick, but he didn't control his footwork well, and raised the right sideline.

Jeonbuk Hyundai came up aggressively, pressing across the board.

Guangzhou Evergrande lost the ball without even organizing an attack.

This game doesn't look optimistic.
