Chapter 177 The South Korean Team's Counterattack
One day in 1882, a British warship called FLYING FISH docked at the port of Incheon, South Korea, and Koreans knew modern football from that moment on.

But it was not until 1904 that the National University of Foreign Studies adopted football as an official sport, which marked the official start of the popularization of football in South Korea.

After the North-South split, the Korean Football Association joined FIFA in 1948 and became a full member of the AFC in 1954.

In 1948, Korean soccer made its debut on the international stage and entered the London Olympics.

In 1954, South Korea participated in the World Cup for the first time and entered the finals of the World Cup in Switzerland.

In 1956, the South Korean team won the first Asian Cup, and four years later, they successfully defended it.

Since then, the South Korean team has been invincible in all kinds of competitions at various levels in Asia, and has deservedly become the "football boss" in Asia.

However, Korean football really shocked the international football world in the 1983 World Youth Championship in Mexico. They reached the semi-finals in one fell swoop, and thus gained the reputation of "Red Devils".

In the World Cup in Japan and South Korea the year before last, no matter how the South Korean team was criticized, they still had a seat in the semi-finals.

For a long time, when people mentioned the Korean team, they would praise them for their unyielding fighting spirit, superhuman motivation and tireless physical strength.

Indeed, this is a typical strength-based team, and their abundant physical strength is the main reason for their longevity.

Under the call of Kim Ho-kun, the South Korean team started the "mechanical mode".It is to use one's abundant physical strength to honestly implement the referee's tactical intentions.In this way, he can not only shield the interference from the outside world, but also rely on his excellent personal skills to slowly overwhelm the National Olympics.

In the 37th minute of the game, the ball was kicked towards the midfield by the defender of the South Korean team. After receiving the ball, Li Tianxiu dribbled the ball and broke through quickly.

Cao Yang immediately stepped forward to force him, and rammed into Li Tianxiu with force.But Li Tianxiu's skillful footwork and sudden burst of strength instantly crushed Cao Yang. After kicking the ball hard, his stumbling body did not fall to the ground, and he went straight to chase the ball.

"Protect the ball! Protect the ball!" Tang Wu had retreated to the small penalty area and shouted at the central defender Zhang Baofeng.

Since Zhang Baofeng ran between Pi Qiu and Li Tianxiu first, Tang Wu gave the order decisively after seeing the height difference between the two.

But Zhang Baofeng, who was rushing in front of him at this time, felt his scalp tingling and his head was getting bigger.

According to Tang Wu's order, he should escort the ball all the way out of bounds, and then the National Olympics will get the goal kick; but at this time, Li Tianxiu is like a "mad dog", chasing after Zhang Baofeng and "biting wildly".

Li Tianxiu, who plays for Royal Sociedad, naturally understands how to use his own advantages to fight against a "big guy" like Zhang Baofeng.In a position where the referee couldn't see, Li Tianxiu opened his legs left and right, oppressing Zhang Baofeng, and at the same time used small movements to attack the weak position of the Olympic center back.

Zhang Baofeng endured the pain, and while holding back his body, he gritted his teeth and pushed the ball directly to the bottom line.

Tang Wu couldn't help sighing after seeing it, let alone Makelele or Terry, even that black kid like Glenn Johnson could easily protect the ball out of bounds.

The personal level of the National Olympics is still too bad!

Li Tianxiu, who was running behind, also slowed down and stopped immediately, letting out a sigh of relief.

corner kick?Take a corner kick!It's better than a goal kick.

The South Korean team once again gathered together in the penalty area of ​​the Olympic team. Every time they faced a corner kick, Tang Wu would direct the defenders to stand in different defensive positions according to the opponent's offensive players.

Compared with other players on the field, Tang Wu is tall and powerful, and has the strongest air dominance.

Therefore, Tang Wu would usually leave a space for his teammates in front of him so that he could attack at any time.

Kim Doo-hyun took a relatively high outspin corner towards the penalty spot.Three South Korean players on the penalty area line advanced to earn points, while Cho Jae-jin near the goal line chased back.There are only four South Korean offensive players in the penalty area, while the Olympic team in white has a total of eight players.

Everyone was looking up at the high-altitude ball above their heads, and those who felt that they could touch the ball all moved towards the ball's landing point.Tang Wu only glanced in front of him, then walked out from the goal line, watching the ball in the sky run forward.

From the high-altitude camera lens, it can be seen that Zhang Yaokun, Zhang Baofeng, and Xu Liang are stuck in the middle position, isolating the Korean players.At this time, Tang Wu had already run out from the goal line.

He didn't have time to look at Tang Wu in front of him, and suddenly felt something tripped under his feet.

According to the memories of other people's positions just now in his mind, Tang Wu immediately judged whose foot it was.

"Falke, this stick actually gave me a black foot!"

But the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired.

Tang Wu, who was about to jump, staggered and threw his body forward. "Not good!" Tang Wu's heart tightened, he gritted his teeth and risked spraining his feet, kicked down with his twisted left foot, and jumped up compulsively.

Tang Wu, who was in the air, ignored the momentary pain, straightened his arms, and continued to move according to his previous judgment.

Tang Wu, who was outstretched with both arms, suddenly felt something hit in his hands. He clenched his hands inwards, grasped the ball tightly in the air, and put it into his arms with all his strength. With a "plop", Tang Wu and Cao Zaizhen fell to the ground one after another.Because there was a meat pad underneath, Tang Wu didn't suffer any injuries.

After falling to the ground, Tang Wu suddenly looked back, and behind him, Pu Zhixing stood there alone, and there was no defender within two meters around him.

Seeing this, Tang Wu broke out in a cold sweat.

Maybe this ball has changed the fate of it and the Olympic Games since it was picked up by Tang Wu in the air. Tang Wu held it tightly in his arms and refused to let go for a long time.

Tang Wu didn't get up until the players had all walked out of the restricted area.After moving my ankles and finding nothing serious, I took two steps with the football in my arms and kicked the ball out with my big feet.

Perhaps, this was just an ordinary corner kick interception. Even the commentator Huang Jianxiang regarded this ordinary corner kick as ordinary.

For this ball, Tang Wu doesn't have much glory to praise, but what the goalkeeper expects is that the defense is safe from danger?Goalkeepers don't like to defuse danger by themselves, because by then, it may mean a goal.

Seeing that the Olympic Games once again controlled the ball at their feet, the fans shouted again.

In the frontmost position of the stands, a row of five shirtless middle-aged men stood.A national flag was painted on each side of each face. A big drum was placed in front of the leader, and the person next to him was waving a long flagpole with the red flag fluttering in the wind.Five people each wrote a word on their fat stomachs.The combination is "Advance into Athens." The last person drew a big full stop at the navel, which is quite funny.

The appearances of these five people were deeply imprinted in Tang Wu's mind. In the next ten years, these fans changed the words on their stomachs to Athens, London, Rio, Japan, South Korea, Germany, South Africa, Brazil and other places.They gradually look old, but their spirit lasts forever.All of them had white beards, but the red flags on their faces were still fluttering red.They bent their backs, but still waved the flags in their hands like a rainbow.He has been supporting his beloved team for decades, and has played with the national football team all over the world.No matter what the result is, never forget the original intention.

In the stoppage time of the first half, the South Korean team used a sharp attack to create the most threatening attack so far.

Park Ji-sung went down to chase the ball, and Sun Xiangzai, the younger brother of "Auspicious Brothers", followed closely.The experienced PSV full-back did not take the ball and continued to move forward, and tapped his heel lightly.The ball rolled backwards successfully avoided Sun Xiang who was unable to brake in time.Jin Dongjin, who followed behind, used his left foot to pass directly to the center 2 meters outside the corner of the penalty area.

The South Korean team used the ball to change directions back and forth twice, and there was a pause.While the Olympic team defender hadn't turned around due to inertia, the anti-offside was successful.Li Tianxiu flew the header on the line of the small penalty area and sent the ball to the gate of the Olympic team.

Tang Wu raised his arms subconsciously, and the moment he raised his fist, he hit the ball off the crossbar.Li Tianxiu jumped up angrily when she saw this, squatted down and beat the ground with both hands.

It wasn't until Tang Wu reacted from the horse stance that he subconsciously felt a chill down his back.

Many things are like this, the more I think about it, the more afraid I become.If it weren't for Jin Dongjin's pass in the center, if it wasn't for Li Tianxiu's header that went too far, this would definitely be a goal.God seems to want to return one to the South Korean team. It is the same as Xu Liang's header in the first half, and the ball is headed towards the goalkeeper.

The difference is that Jin Rongguang's nose bleeds when he was hit by the ball, while Tang Wu held the ball out with both hands.

The ratio of goalkeepers between China and South Korea is decisive.
