Godfather of national football

Chapter 455 Fighting South Korea ([-])
At the beginning of the second half, the Chinese team made a substitution, and Li Heng replaced Yin Di.

The score of 1 to 2 made the South Korean players sit on pins and needles during the 15-minute intermission. They knew that the football between the two countries had been competing.

There are two countries that Koreans absolutely cannot lose, one is Japan and the other is China.

If they beat China, then this group of players will have everything, fame, money, and can be exempted from military service.

But if they lose to China, they can only be cast aside. It has to be said that the pressure brought by the narrow national character is also huge.

Park Joo-young has already warmed up on the sidelines, and it seems that the young Li Tingxie still has a hard time finding opportunities, especially Zhou Dun who is defending him.

The two sides of the South Korean team are still good. Li Qinglong on the right and Sun Xingmin on the left are both at the European level.

Gu Zizhe pushed Li Qinglong obliquely with his foot. The ball was deliberately passed with more force, and it reached behind Geng Chong.

Geng Chong turned around and competed with Li Qinglong for speed. Both of them were very fast. Li Qinglong got the ball first, and Geng Chong was not shaken away. Li Qinglong was delayed for a few seconds. The two defenders in the middle of the Chinese team were all in place.

After the Chinese team replaced the injured Yin Di, the defense in the middle was better, especially Li Heng, who had just played in the second half, and his physical fitness was at a good time.

The South Korean team took the lead in the second half and consumed a lot of physical energy. They just wanted to score one, but the effect was not good and they couldn't score at all.

Another way to break the dense defense is to set the ball.

If the positional battle cannot be played, it can only rely on set kicks, and the teammates go together. Gu Zizhe understands this very well, so when he shoots, he deliberately kicks the Chinese players to cheat corner kicks.

When the South Korean team gets a corner kick, one of Kim Young-kwon and Kwak Tae-hui must go up and attack.

This time it was Kim Young-kwon's turn, and Guo Taihui protected near the midfield.

The South Korean team's corner kicks were all taken by Sun Xingmin. He looked at the situation in the penalty area and kicked back.

The ball was cleared by the Chinese team, and when it reached Chen Gelin's feet, the hearts of the Korean fans thumped, and the Chinese team counterattacked!

"Fight back, fight back, fight back!"

Some people in the Chinese fan camp couldn't help shouting out that now the South Korean team only has 3 people behind to defend, which is not counted as goalkeepers. They are left back Park Joo-ho, midfielder Ha Dae-sung, and Guo Taihui.

As long as Chen Gelin quickly passed Guo Taihui, it would be a single-handed opportunity for the Chinese team.

Of course Guo Taihui also knew what was going on behind him, so he went backwards. After Chen Gelin adjusted his pace, he began to change speed to prepare to pass.

The moment Chen Gelin changed his line, Guo Taihui stepped on Chen Gelin's ankle. In order to cause enough lethality, Guo Taihui finally increased his strength and chopped down.

Guo Taihui was no longer just a tactical foul, but wanted to abolish Chen Gelin with vicious intentions.

The ankle is the most vulnerable part of a player, and it is also the place where there is no protection. Chen Gelin's ankle was deformed in an instant.

"Doctor, doctor."

The players of the Chinese team were calling the team doctor to play, and Chen Gelin was about to pass out from the pain. After Chen Gelin was carried off on a stretcher, a conflict broke out on the court. The Chinese players knew that Guo Taihui did it on purpose, although he pretended to be innocent.

The problem was before Irmatov. It should be said that Guo Taihui is a thief and he understands the rules. If this foul happened from the side or behind, there would be no suspense for his red card. But Guo Taihui kicked someone from the front, and it looked like a tactical foul.

On the football field, tactical fouls and intentional kicks are two different things, and the standard of punishment is much worse. Irmatov thought for a long time, and finally gave Guo Taihui a yellow card.

The Chinese team was furious. Captain Zhou Dun was reasoning with the referee. The ball was a deliberate kick and should be a red card.

Irmatov said: "I can see clearly that it was a frontal tackle, and the red card has not yet been received."

"But didn't you see that my teammate's ankle was seriously deformed?"

Irmatov shook his head again.

Everyone knew that Guo Taihui did it on purpose, but there was no way to prove it, and the referee could only follow the rules.

The Chinese players were angry. Although Li Guo had reminded everyone to be careful of the opponent's black feet during the intermission, he did not expect the opponent to be so black.

After the protest was invalid, Zhou Dun could only appease his players, don't be too aggressive, the opponent just wants to hurt both sides, and the fish will die and the net will be broken.

After replacing Ji Ke, Li Guo lowered his head, and he looked very calm throughout the whole thing, because he knew that this was the opponent's purpose, to anger the Chinese team. After 5 minutes, the doctor came back. Li Guo could guess the general idea just by looking at his expression, without asking.

"Fractured?"

The doctor nodded.

In other words, Chen Gelin's Asian Cup was over, and the healing potion in the system could only relieve muscle pain, but there was nothing to do if he broke a bone.

"Doctor, do you think the other party did it deliberately?"

In fact, an excellent doctor is similar to a forensic doctor. You can judge something through the injury situation.

"99% yes, there are signs of chopping."

Li Guo nodded, the anger in his heart was already raging. In the post-match press conference, he will definitely tell the world and appeal to the AFC. Guo Taihui must pay the price.

*****
On the court, most players have calmed down and refocused their attention on the game, but there is one person who is not, and that is Fonso.

I have to say that he is really like Manchester United's Keane in this regard, with a character of revenge. He has been staring at Guo Taihui, but unfortunately he has never had a chance.

But a few minutes later, the opportunity finally came. He Dacheng passed back and the ball slowly rolled towards Guo Taihui. Fang Suo was desperately chasing this irrelevant ball.

And Guo Taihui wanted to stop the ball, and when Fang Suo was approaching, he passed back to the goalkeeper. Playing Fang Suo could also consume his energy.

The authorities were obsessed with the onlookers, and when Guo Taihui was triumphantly implementing his plan, the other teammates could see that something was wrong, because Fonso looked like an angry Spanish bullfight, he didn't seem to be trying to grab the ball.

The moment Guo Taihui stopped the ball, Fang Suo took off with speed, his legs left the ground, and stepped firmly on Guo Taihui's calf.

After hearing a click, Guo Taihui's calf was broken, which was regarded as a stabbing. All the players of the South Korean team came to surround Fang Suo. From their point of view, Fang Suo did not play football, but murdered him.

Irmatov rushed over, and the assistant referee also ran over. This time the conflict was too serious, so we had to deal with it properly.
