All-around substitute

Chapter 81
After two rounds of the group stage, the situation of qualifying for Group D is becoming increasingly clear.The South Korean team that qualified ahead of schedule will belong to the other qualifying spot in Group D.Compared with the Qatar team, the Chinese team holds four points, and the initiative to qualify is in their own hands.Qatar has accumulated one point in two games. In order to qualify, in addition to beating the Thailand team by a big score in the final round, it also needs to count on the South Korean team to beat the Chinese team in the final round.Therefore, the attitude of the Korean team in the final round of using troops has attracted the attention of all parties.

On February [-]st of the Gregorian calendar, the third day of the first month of the lunar calendar, there is still one day before the Sino-Korean battle. South Korean team coach Cui Zhiyong and young player Huang Xican attended the pre-match press conference.

Dozens of media reporters from the three countries of China, South Korea, and Qatar gathered at the press conference, which was the largest number of media present since the start of the group stage. This also reflected the attention paid to the China-South Korea battle from the side.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Director Cui is doing a great job!"

"The pride of the Republic of Korea!"

As soon as Cui Zhiyong appeared in front of the media, South Korean reporters stood up and applauded.

Cui Zhiyong waved with a smile on his face, and waited for Cui Zhiyong and his party to take their seats.After the press officer made a brief opening statement, he signaled the reporters on the scene to ask questions.

Dozens of reporters at the scene stretched out their right hands.

After scanning around, Cui Zhiyong chose the compatriots sitting in the front row to ask questions.

The selected South Korean reporter bowed slightly and took the microphone handed over by the press officer with both hands and said.

"Hello, Director Cui. I'm a reporter from Chosun Ilbo. My question is how does South Korea view its opponents in the knockout round after qualifying? What preparations did the South Korean team make?"

"The ultimate goal of the South Korean team is the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands in the second half of this year. As for the opponents in the knockout round, I don't pay much attention. Our preparations have always been carried out according to our own plan, and there is no special preparation." Cui Zhiyong said this paragraph When speaking, he seemed extremely confident, completely ignoring the feelings of his knockout opponents.

"Thank you Director Cui, my question is over!" Reporter Han bowed to Cui Zhiyong and sat back in his seat.

"Please ask the next reporter!" the press officer said again.

This time the scene was still full of hands, and Cui Zhiyong ignored the reporters from China and Qatar and chose his compatriots.

"Hello, Director Choi, I am a reporter from Seoul World Sports Daily. In the second round match against Thailand, five South Korean players were shown yellow cards by the referee. They are facing a suspension. I wonder if this will affect the final game. The first round of the game against the Chinese team?" Reporter Han asked this time the question that everyone present was concerned about.

The Qatari reporter on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. Reporter Han had to keep asking about the knockout round, and how the South Korean team used their troops in the final round was not known, so it was mentioned.

Cui Zhiyong stretched out his hand to adjust the distance of the microphone and said in a deep voice, "This time the South Korean team recruited 22 players, and each player is an elite of the same age group in their respective clubs. They are in very good condition and are no worse than suspended players. .So there will be no impact on the last round of personnel arrangements."

"Excuse me, Director Cui. The five main players of the South Korean team are suspended. Has the South Korean team made corresponding preparations?" As soon as Reporter Han sat down, a Chinese reporter got the microphone first and immediately asked Cui Zhiyong a question.

"I have just answered your question. The five suspended players will not affect my use of troops. The players in the same position have excellent abilities and conditions." Cui Zhiyong did not directly answer the Chinese reporter's question.

"Director Cui! I'm Qatar's Middle East sports reporter. The South Korean team has already qualified. Will the South Korean team use substitutes in the final round?" The Qatari reporter grabbed the microphone and asked immediately after the Chinese reporter put down the microphone.

"We have already suspended five starters. In the last round, the South Korean team's starting will naturally change to a certain extent. As for whether we will use substitutes to fight, I can't tell you yet."

"Then will the South Korean team stay ready for the knockout round?" the Qatari reporter asked again.

"There are many factors that determine the game, but the South Korean team will not give up any game easily."

Receiving Cui Zhiyong's answer, the Qatari journalist's hanging heart was a little relieved.

"Hello, Director Cui. I'm the special correspondent of Busan Sports. Just now you mentioned that there will be a certain change in the personnel for the last game. May I ask whether Sun Xingmin is within the range of change? And what is his current state?" Sun Xingmin was selected by the Korean people as the first of the top ten rising stars in South Korea a year ago, and he was highly expected by the Korean people. His performance on the court affected the nerves of the entire Korean people.

"Sun Xingmin has performed very well in the last two games. In the first game against Qatar, it was his outstanding performance that allowed the South Korean team to score a valuable three points. In the second game, he scored a hat-trick, which is very important for the entire Korean team. For him, he is very important." Cui Zhiyong's answer was like saying nothing.

"Excuse me, Director Cui, will Sun Xingmin appear in the final round?" Director Cui's nonsense just made the Qatari reporter feel relieved.Hang up again.Whether the ace in the team plays or not determines the level of the Korean team's striker. With Sun Xingmin in the Korean team's striker is the top in Asia, without Sun Xingmin it can only be said to be first-class.Therefore, Qatar reporters are very concerned about whether Sun Xingmin will appear on the stage.

"Whether Sun Xingmin will appear on the stage, I don't know at the moment, it may or may not be!" Cui Zhiyong gave an ambiguous answer, it doesn't matter if he answered, all the reporters present whispered to each other.

"How can you not know? As the head coach of the team, don't you even know whether your own players can appear on the field?"

"Who says it's not? This Korean stick is intentional!"

Two Chinese journalists sat together and "exchanged" their opinions.

"Allah! Please punish these heretics."

"In the first match, Qatar should not let the South Korean team go!"

The Qatari reporter was very dissatisfied with Cui Zhiyong's answer, and accused Cui Zhiyong together with his compatriots.

"Haha! The Qataris and the Chinese are in a hurry! The Republic of Korea must always be in the leading position in Asia, and let these people always be in the role of chasers."

"The Republic of Korea influences Asia all the time, and so does football!"

The South Korean journalists were all pleased with the anxiety of the Chinese and Qatari journalists.

Cui Zhiyong sat in front of the rostrum, looking at the chaotic press conference with a sense of contentment. The current situation was exactly what he had imagined.The more panicked and overwhelmed the enemy is, the happier he is.

"In addition to Sun Xingmin, Ji Chengyong is also not sure whether he will be able to play in the next game." Unable to ask questions from reporters, Cui Zhiyong threw another blockbuster.

This time, the media at the scene completely blew up the nest. Who is Ki Sung-yong, the core midfielder of the Korean National Youth League, and ranked second among the top ten rising stars in South Korea.Second only to Sun Xingmin.If he misses the last game, it will greatly weaken the Korean team's midfield strength.The voices of journalists discussing at the scene became louder and louder, and the journalists from Qatar were the most intense among journalists from the three countries.The Chinese reporters were secretly delighted. After all, the absence of the two aces of South Korea and Youth at the same time benefited the Chinese team.The South Korean reporters expressed concern. Although the 22 players are very good, compared with the ace players, they still lack a lot.The reporters from the Three Kingdoms were frothing, and the press conference was not much different from the vegetable market for a while.

"Haha! Just guess wildly! The muddier the pool, the better!" Cui Zhiyong sneered in his heart. He knew that under the pens of these media reporters, what he said would change in all kinds of ways. It's done, the biggest secret before the third round.

……

South Korea's pre-match press conference spread to China, and it aroused great concern about how the South Korean team used troops in the final round.

Most of the fans agree that in the last round of the South Korean team's game against the Chinese team, substitute operations will be used.There is no other reason, that is, the South Korean team has already qualified ahead of schedule, and there is no need to fight recklessly with the Chinese team.

From this point of view, the fans also extended that the National Youth Team challenged the Korean National Youth Second Team in the last round and ushered in a good opportunity to qualify.

Some fans also took the opportunity to boo, thinking that if the Chinese National Youth League cannot even win the second team, it proves that Chinese football has no hope.

In this "hot view" mood, there are also a small number of fans who believe that this is the South Korean team deliberately confusing the Chinese team, which is a suspicious strategy by the Koreans.

But this view has been opposed and ridiculed by many people.It was believed that the Chinese team did not have the strength to make the South Korean team bother, but when it happened later, it proved once again that the truth is always in the hands of a few people.

……

After the war with Qatar, the national youth ushered in a rare respite.The previous two games were played within three days, which was a great consumption for the national youth players.It was very obvious at the end of the second game. Several players with good physical strength in the National Youth Team lost the physical strength to continue running. They can only defend in place.

In order for the players to have a better rest, Kerry did not arrange any training content on the first day after the game, but simply resumed training, and did not start tactical drills until the next day.

It was only on the third day that the preparations were made according to the characteristics of the South Korean team. However, the training content of the national youth team was quickly stopped by the national youth coaching staff. The reason was that Sun Xuhai watched the press conference of the Korean team.

"I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Cui Zhiyong's gourd? One will say that it is a small rotation, and another will say that both Sun Xingmin and Ki Sung-yong may not appear. Whether the Korean team has Sun Xingmin and Ki Sung-yong is completely different. !" Sun Xuhai looked at the video of the press conference and couldn't figure out what Cui Zhiyong was going to do.

"Jiang! What do you think?" Kerry asked Jiang Chao for his opinion. The Korean team didn't follow the routine, and Kerry was also confused.

"Sun Xingmin is the core of the South Korean team's frontcourt and is the guarantee of the Korean team's scoring. Ki Sung-yong is the core of the midfielder. It is very difficult to have him in the midfield of the Korean team. The two of them have a great influence on our formation... "Jiang Chao frowned tightly, and he had no good idea if he couldn't confirm the opponent's posture.

"Kerry! Could this be a suspicious strategy by the Koreans to deliberately confuse our sight?" Ross guessed.

"It's very possible! When they played against Thailand, five players deliberately ate cards. The suspicion of shuffling the cards is very high!" After Rose reminded, Sun Xuhai remembered watching the Korean team's video yesterday.

"If this is the case, then there is a great possibility for the Koreans to stay in the knockout round! This is very beneficial to us!" Jiang Chao said.

"No, no, no! If Cui Zhiyong deliberately showed such a false appearance, luring us to underestimate the enemy, and let them appear again in the real game!" Kerry guessed in reverse.

"It's not impossible! Mr. Kerry! We can make two-handed preparations!" Jiang Chao quickly opened his mind after discussing with several people.

"Jiang! If you have any good ideas, you can tell them!"

"Mr. Kerry, please move! The five players suspended by Han come from the front, middle and back respectively, but they have the core of the three lines, so there will not be a big discount in strength. This also gives Cui There is great flexibility in the wise and brave use of troops. If we stay focused on knocking out South Korea's three-line core, we will definitely have a truce. Then we can continue to use 4231. If the core plays, we will use 541 to compress the offensive space of the Korean team and defend and counterattack!" Jiang Chao said. Li took it to the tactical board on the sidelines, and quickly set up two formations by running up and down.

"The five defenders lined up in the 541 formation, try to compress the space on the side, and don't give Sun Xingmin the opportunity to attack. The four midfielders adopt a diamond-shaped position, cut off the connection between the midfield and the side, and lose the support of the midfield. No matter how strong Sun Xingmin is, he is no match for our backcourt siege!"

"What do you think about personnel?" Kerry asked looking at the tactics.

"The midfield diamond position is rarely used in football recently. It has high requirements for a single midfielder. The strongest running and intercepting abilities in the team are Jin Jingdao and Xu Xin. My idea is that Jin Jingdao, By running without hesitation, prevent the effective advancement of Han's midfielder! Xu Xin protects behind. Xu Zangyi moves to the side to counter Sun Xingmin's attack with offense! On the other side, Liu Bing and Li Yuanyi have not yet decided! The forward's words are still the same Zhao Zihao will take the post!" Jiang Chao gave his opinion on employing people.

"I basically agree with the candidates for other positions. For the forward position, I want to replace Zhao Zihao with Wang Shangyuan!"

"Wang Shangyuan? Mr. Kerry's last game..." Jiang Chao had concerns about changing forwards. In the first two games, Zhao Zihao completed the tasks assigned by the coach very well and played well. Wang Shangyuan's last game as a substitute was impressive. Very disappointed.

"Jiang! Believe me! Wang Shangyuan will surprise you!" Kerry looked at Jiang Chao with a smile. Kerry was very confident in Wang Shangyuan's use.

"Ok! Mr. Kerry, I believe in your choice! Just now is the response to the presence of Han's core players on the field. If Han Guoqing plays as a substitute, we don't need to make any adjustments. The problem now is that we have hardly played the 541 formation. This requires We take risks."

"There is still time now, and there are still 24 hours before the game. No matter what the opponent's intentions are, we must defeat the opponent! Sun! Rose! Jiang! Prepare separately!" Kerry looked down at his watch and made up his mind. After the strategy, arrange everyone to train separately.
