six finger demon

Chapter 114

On March 3, the Seoul Meteorological Observatory forecasted a minimum temperature of -2 degrees and a maximum temperature of -6 degrees for the next day.

Yang Yimin and Shen Xiangfu issued a "cold resistance" order: Do not go out at will, you must wear down jackets when you go out!
Shen Xiangfu also jokingly said to the players: "Tomorrow we will have a double "anti-han", cheer me up!"

On March 3, the Han stream arrived as scheduled.The northeast wind that is unique to Seoul this season is like a knife, and it hurts my face when it blows.

At 11 o'clock, all the Olympic staff were asked to "go downstairs and take a walk to get some air, but keep warm!"

The players walked out of the gate one after another, and at the gate, there were staff who specially checked the players' wear.

At 16:[-], the whole team held a "pre-war mobilization meeting" in the restaurant on the third floor.

Shen Xiangfu announced the tactical plan and personnel combination that the coaching staff had worked hard to launch. Hu Zhaojun in the midfielder position was indeed replaced by the stronger Wang Dong.

"It's been six years since we formed the team, and it's for this moment. We have everything we should have, and it's too late to practice now. For you, for me, it may be the last time! Don't hesitate too much, let go Just do it!"

Yang Yimin's speech was much simpler: "We must win! We must win!"

The 21 players roared like wolves: "We must win! We must win! We must win!!!"

Hu Zhaojun was the first to walk out of the house, his face was as red as his eyes.

"Xiao Hu, didn't you rest last night, did you?" asked the staff on the side.

"No, I rested well!" Hu Zhaojun replied.

"In my heart, there was once a dream." An Qi came out, wearing a headset, humming Zhou Huajian's "True Hero".

Then came a group of players from Dalian.When everyone came out one after another, Wu Pingfeng was the last to come out, with a piece of white toilet paper stuck under his nostril.He has a nosebleed!
At 17:10, the "anti-Korean" Olympic Games marched towards Shangyan in the cold current.

At 17:30, three words suddenly appeared in the West Stand: "Korean Fear".

The night before, Cha Bum-geun confirmed with a smile at the dinner table that this sentence has become a foreign word in the Korean market.

26 years ago, it was Cha Bum-geun's goal that became the beginning of "Korean Fear".

Seeing the South Korean team entering the stadium, the fans of the home team became loud again.

Before the game, Korean fans were dissatisfied with two things: First, at the Sangam Stadium, no Korean national team has been able to win for several years, so the fans asked to change the venue, but it didn't help.

The second is that the new version of the Korean Olympic jersey has been strongly opposed by 90.00% of the fans. They think that a circle outside the number looks like a bargaining chip in a gambling house, which will always lose to the dealer in the end; The restricted sign means that the Korean team members cannot take off.

Fans voted on the official website to ask the home team to wear the World Cup jersey from the year before the meeting, but it was not until the players entered the stadium that the fans discovered that they were still wearing this "chip jersey" and "speed limit" on the field.

In addition, Korean fans have no other dissatisfaction with the players and coaches.

"The South Korean fans look very excited!" Shen Xiangfu wiped the snot from his nose with the back of his hand, and sighed as he watched the roaring fans in the west stand.

Yang Yimin said: "Maybe he is cheering for the home team! I saw reports on the Internet before, and everyone was unanimously optimistic about our National Olympics. Some bookmakers even offered odds of "half the ball". Old Shen, don't be surprised At first glance, we have been preparing for such a long time, even if we can't win, we can at least have a draw, and let the burden go to the opponent first."

"I hope so!" Shen Xiangfu sniffed his nose, the weather in Seoul is indeed a bit cold.

Shen Xiangfu frowned when he saw the Korean starters.

"No. 16 Cui Duixu didn't play?"

"Who knows! I wonder too!" The teaching assistant on the side also scratched his head.

As early as noon, Kim Ho-kun predicted the starting lineup for the Olympic Games to Chinese reporters, which was exactly the same as Shen Xiangfu's actual lineup.

This matter was suppressed by Yang Yimin and others, just as Xiangfu said before the game: "Now neither side has any tactical secrets, and everything will only be known after the game."

The meeting that night was very deep and detailed. A member of the team told the reporter: "Every link, every member, every blade of grass..."

After tossing the coin, Captain Dewey decisively chose the south side of the court.

Due to the design of the Sangam Stadium, the southern half is sunny because of the sunshine, while the northern half is blocked by the stands, turning into frozen soil.

The Olympic coaching staff also has countermeasures. Shen Xiangfu regards the second half as the key period of "anti-Korea", so when picking sides, he regards the southern half with a good field as the offensive area.

So on the issue of side selection, Dewey did not hesitate at all.

At 18 o'clock, with the whistle of Shang Chuance, the game started amidst the cheers of the fans.

The process of the game can be described in such simple words: "The Olympic Games spent 89 minutes trying to complete their own ideas, but it took only one second to subvert all their hard work."

The accident happened in the 86th minute. The South Korean Olympic goalkeeper took a corner kick and quickly launched a hand throw to counterattack. Wang Dong, who was sitting at the back, slipped his foot when he grabbed the midfielder.Cui Chengguo, who was dribbled, ran from the backcourt and rushed into the Olympic penalty area single-handedly.

An Qi came out, but he was still a step behind.Cui Chengguo kicked horizontally and passed the ball to the back point, and the back point followed the unmarked Cao Zaizhen with an easy shot to the empty goal.

1 to 0, the fans of the home team shouted "Da-Han-Ming-Guo" in unison, which shook the hearts of all Chinese fans and players at the scene.

After 2 minutes of stoppage time in the second half, Shang Chuance's whistle to end the game announced that the Chinese Olympic team's seventh Olympic Games first game ended in defeat.

Tragedy or comedy happened within a second. Afterwards, Xu Liang sighed to the camera: "It shouldn't be like this! If you can't catch the ball in front, there is nothing you can do about that ball. In fact, it can be a tactical foul at all." Yes, alas!"

Wang Dong was expressionless as he walked back to his room through the long lobby after the game.

In fact, no one blamed him. In nine and ten minutes, he was very conscientious.But "One Second's Fate" is like an octopus always trying to catch some unlucky guy in the Chinese team. This time it was Wang Dong's turn.

It is the same as many Chinese and Korean historical dramas in the past: the South Korean team is as active as mercury, and the Chinese team is as dull as a puppet;The passionate embrace of red and blue, the despair of white and red.

After the game, Shen Xiangfu walked into the locker room and said: "It's a pity that we lost the first game. We still have future games. Go back and summarize."

It was like a consolation to the team members.

Yang Yimin said: "We still have 5 games to play, and no one can tell the final result."

Outside the hotel lobby, a voice suddenly came: "Attacking Korea Syndrome"

When Shen Xiangfu looked angrily, he saw the smiling faces of two or three gentle Korean students.

The team members walked into the hotel with their game uniforms, without the legendary frustration on their faces.The expressions of these young players who were born in the 80s are just empty, a kind of suddenness of being carried from one world to another.

This is the second time for Dewey to experience the "Shangyan Soldier Defeat" - he has a bruise the size of a coin on his left cheek, whether it was bumped by Cao Bingju, who challenged him.

An Qi also lost to Shangyan for the second time - except for the ball bounced because of the deformation of the permafrost on the field, he performed well, but he just wanted to flash into the elevator quickly, but the inside had already been flashed in faster His teammates are stuffed like tuna cans.The No. [-] Olympic goalkeeper had no choice but to stay and accept questions from reporters.

Wang Jianying was also defeated in Shangyan for the second time. This person who was extremely loyal to his cause wanted to smile at the reporters, but his smile was bitter and confused.

Lee Jang-soo appeared in the lobby wearing a gray windbreaker. He came to Seoul from Jeonnam, 400 kilometers away, to watch the game.

"It could have been a tie, the goal was sudden! Jin Rongguang is very good at throwing the ball, his throw is fast and accurate, and Choi Sung-guk is also very good, his dribbling is fast and smart."

Lee Jang-soo's students counterattacked, and Cha Bum-geun's students ended the game.Two Korean coaches who have taught in China are really good at teaching students!This is how they passed on a certain bloodline from generation to generation, continuing to write a certain family tree, from 1978 to 2004, and maybe forever.

Yang Yimin and Shen Xiangfu finished the interview with the reporters on the side of the lobby.In the flickering corridor, Li Chengpeng, a good friend of Huang Jianxiang who was watching the game with the team, asked: "When we have tried our best to do everything, when every failure is caused by a very small mistake-what on earth?" What to do? Is this a kind of fate?"

A wry smile flashed across Yang Yimin's old and desolate face like sparks, but he didn't give an answer.

In the dim corridor, Shen Xiangfu suddenly thought of a person, and murmured: "I don't know if it is fate, but if there is him, the result of this match will definitely not be like this!"
