Fame with a ball

Cui Kangxi was about to faint from anger. He wished he could point at Camacho's nose and curse: "You despicable and cunning thing! Didn't you say that Lin Zhigao won't play! Why does he still appear in the starting list? Ah?! Could it be that you are playing with us? You are an idiot!"

Camacho couldn't hear Cui Kangxi's scream of vomiting blood, but even if he did, he would just shrug innocently and say, "Ah, I'm really sorry about this matter. However, when I said But Lin Zhigao's condition is not suitable for the starting lineup, and he didn't swear that he would definitely not play. This really has nothing to do with me, is it because your ears are not very sensitive?"

While Cui Kangxi was almost dizzy from anger, some people were also dizzy from joy.They are domestic fans and reporters, especially those who have already bought tickets to watch the game.

In this match between China and South Korea, about 8 Chinese fans bought tickets and flew all the way from China to Seoul to watch the match.Most of their tickets were bought a month ago, especially in the few days when Lin Zhigao announced that he would accept the Football Association's call to join the national team. The figure of 2000 does not include those students and staff studying in Korea who directly bought tickets from Korea.

According to the statistics of a certain magazine, the number of Chinese fans who will attend the match between China and South Korea may reach about [-].This is a very remarkable number, because the vast majority of Chinese fans have to come from across the country to watch such a qualifier, and the degree of mobilization is definitely not low.

Who said that Chinese fans don't love the national football team?Just these sold tickets are enough to prove that the domestic fans are not unpatriotic to the national football team, they just love and hate it even more. Once the fans are given a little hope, they can burn enough enthusiasm for it.

This game is the fourth match of the Brazil World Cup Asian qualifiers, the top ten match. Because the Chinese team had two losses and one draw in the previous two games, only one point was poor, so the points for this fourth game are very important. ——If the Chinese team loses again, and the points remain at 1 point, then they will really be the bottom team in Group A. Not only is there no hope of qualifying, but it will also be very embarrassing.

In addition, there is another reason that attracts domestic fans to go to Korea to watch the game, and that is Lin Zhigao.So a few days ago when domestic speculation started that Lin Zhigao would not be placed in the starting lineup by Camacho, this group of people was also the most annoyed and angry people.

But now, they feel what happiness is like again.

Those domestic media reporters also felt that the development of the situation was very dramatic. They didn't confirm until they saw the starting list-all this was indeed a psychological warfare directed and performed by Camacho himself.

In the commentary room of the World Cup football stadium in Seoul, a CCTV reporter A smiled and said to another reporter B: "The old Ka's smoke bomb is big enough to play the entire domestic media. Do you know how many reporters hate him and gnash their teeth."

Reporter B laughed "hehe" and said, "I don't hate him, on the contrary, I love him to death!"

"Haha, I understand what you mean!" Reporter A also snickered and said, "The head coach of the South Korean team must be having a headache right now."

……

The largest dedicated football stadium in Asia that can accommodate 6.4 spectators, the Seoul World Cup football stadium is now full of fans and reporters from China and South Korea.

In the commentary room facing the stadium, many staff members of CCTV are already in place, waiting for the game to start.

Duan Xuan, a well-known domestic football commentator, is responsible for explaining the game. He is also the host of "World Football". He has superb professional knowledge and a humorous and relaxed commentary style.

At this moment, he was facing the camera with a relaxed smile on his face: "CCTV, CCTV. Now, I want to convey a good news to the audience in front of the TV-Lin Zhigao has confirmed that he will start this game! And He is now warming up on the court, and looking at his facial expressions, it is obvious that he is in good spirits."

The TV camera quickly captured Lin Zhigao who was warming up in the warm-up area, and gave him a close-up. Lin Zhigao was doing simple exercises while talking to Huang Bowen, with a constant smile on his face and an extremely relaxed expression.

Duan Xuan couldn't help laughing again: "Seeing this scene, I don't know if the audience in front of the TV has thought of the vigorous reports in newspapers and magazines these days, saying that Camacho abandoned Lin Zhigao as the starter. Now it seems that this incident was just a psychological warfare designed by Camacho's head coach, probably to confuse the South Korean team's sight. Just now, the camera showed the South Korean team's head coach Cui Kangxi a shot, and we learned from his It is not difficult to see the sad look on his face, it seems that Camacho's psychological warfare has indeed affected the tactical layout of the South Korean team, and I have to say that this game of gunpowder among the media is simply too exciting!"

"The news that some reporters exaggerated that Lin Zhigao was extremely unpopular in the national team was obviously a hoax. During the entire warm-up process, Lin Zhigao had been talking to several national team players, and the atmosphere seemed very Friendly. Seeing this scene, I think most of the fans can relax and look forward to a wonderful matchup!"

"There are still 5 minutes before the start of the game. Now let's review the starting rosters of the Chinese team and the South Korean team. The South Korean team has played the main force, and all the overseas players have been called back, including Park Ji-sung, who played for Manchester United. Park Joo-young who played for Arsenal, Son Heung-min who played for Hamburg in the Bundesliga, Chi Dong-won who played for Sunderland and other 8 overseas players. I have to say that Cui Kangxi really attaches great importance to this game! You must know that it will be held in June In the third match of Group A, the South Korean team did not have such a luxurious lineup against the Iranian team. The South Korean team used a 6 defensive iron barrel formation, which is quite different from the 532 attacking formation guessed by the media before the match. Same, quite unexpected. Looking at the Chinese team again, Coach Camacho is using...ha, the Christmas tree formation! It's very interesting because this is the first time the Chinese team has adopted this formation in a major official game!"

"Few people know that the pioneer of the Christmas tree formation is Capello, yes, it is the current Juventus coach, Fabio Capello. Because the formation is 4-3-2-1, 4 defenders, 3 One midfielder, two front midfielders, and one striker are named after the shape of a Christmas tree. This formation emphasizes the control of the midfielder, organizes offense or defense on the spot, and is very flexible. It is the current choice of many famous coaches in the world. Favorite formation, including Ancelotti and Mourinho, all prefer to use this formation. However, this formation also has a disadvantage, that is, it has higher requirements on the full-backs and forwards, especially forwards, because the Christmas tree formation only sets If the full-back does not get an assist in time, or the forward does not grasp the opportunity well, then the originally perfect formation will become tasteless.”

Just as Duan Xuan was chattering and explaining the formations and lineups of the two teams, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Duan Xuan immediately stopped talking, and was about to say something, but there was an eruption in the stadium. There were earth-shattering cheers, and the huge sound volume could penetrate the commentary room and clearly reach the ears of the audience in front of the TV.

Wow, the sticks are really full of energy-this is the first feeling of many, many fans in front of the TV.

……

The Taiji flag and the five-star red flag were flying in the entire stadium. The South Korean team in blue uniforms and the Chinese team players in red jerseys stood on both sides of the court, waiting for the referee to kick off.

South Korea's forwards starting this game are captain Park Joo-young and Ji Dong-won.This is not the first time that Park Joo-young has played against Lin Zhigao. When Queens Park Rangers played against Arsenal, Park Joo-young took the initiative to challenge Lin Zhigao, but he was easily defeated by the opponent and robbed of all the limelight. Afterwards, Lian always liked to brag about his own players The South Korean media had no face to call that game the "Asian Derby". This really annoyed Park Joo-young, who loves face, and deeply hated Lin Zhigao in his heart.

He has always imagined that he can meet Lin Zhigao again in another match, and then completely defeat him.Unexpectedly, just after the end of the season, the news of Lin Zhigao's transfer to Juventus was overwhelmingly reported in the newspapers-if Lin Zhigao went to Serie A, it would be almost impossible for them to meet again!Unless it is in the Champions League, and the chances of that are pitifully small, it is equivalent to no.

Therefore, Park Zhouyong was extremely disappointed for a time. It was not until he heard the news that Lin Zhigao was recruited by the Chinese team that he rekindled the flame of competitiveness in his heart.He fanatically hoped to defeat Lin Zhigao in this match and trample him under his feet.

This is different from the thinking of Park Ji-sung in the South Korean national team. Park Ji-sung is much older than Park Joo-young, has a lot more experience, and is more calm and calm. Will not dampen his tough heart.So after hearing teammate Park Joo-young's occasional drunken complaints, Park Ji-sung advised Park Joo-young to be more rational and not to bring personal grievances into the court, which would make people lose their composure and cause unpredictable things to happen.

But Park Zhouyong obviously did not listen to the words of the former captain of the South Korean team. The proof is that at the beginning of the game, he deliberately leaned in front of Lin Zhigao, and said in the crappy Chinese that he just learned: "Lin Zhigao, listen! , I will let you and your team go to hell!"

finished.Park Joo-young turned around and left.

However, Park Zhouyong, who thought that his revenge gesture was perfect and neat, never thought whether the mandarin teacher he found was a good teacher, because...

Standing behind him, Lin Zhigao plucked his ears in confusion and suspicion, and asked his teammate Yu Hanchao who was standing beside him, "What did that person just say? Why didn't I understand?"

Yu Hanchao also looked at Lin Zhigao with a blank face: "Huh? I don't know. Did he speak Korean or Mandarin?"

Lin Zhigao thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't understand what Park Zhouyong said just now. The mandarin spoken by the other party was really clumsy... Maybe he came to say hello?That's right, both of them used to play for the Premier League, but looking at that ferocious expression, they really don't look like each other.

Forget it, don't want to.Lin Zhigao shook his head and went after the ball.

Facts have proved that there are many actions that he thinks he is handsome, but in the eyes of others, they are dudes.

……

Because of the strong belief in avenging shame in his heart, Park Zhouyong ran desperately in the court, looking for any opportunity to confront Lin Zhigao head-on or launch an attack.

However, because the South Korean team's formation in this game is more defensive, Park Zhouyong's performance on the field is a bit abrupt, because he often runs into the half of the Chinese team, and there is no teammate around him to support him.

Korean team coach Cui Kangxi was wondering if Park Joo-young had taken a doping before the match, otherwise why would he ignore his tactical arrangements and frantically run into the opponent's half?

He couldn't help standing on the side of the court, waving his arms at Park Joo-young, and said loudly: "Now is not the time to counterattack, save my energy and guard my position!"

Park Zhixing also ran to Park Zhouyong at this time, and said to him: "We'd better listen to the coach's arrangement. I know you want to compete with Lin of the Chinese team, but believe me, it's not the time yet."

So Park Joo-young could only retreat slightly dissatisfied, and honestly stayed in his own half.

"Hao Junmin dribbled the ball at his feet, broke through from the side, and wanted to break into the penalty area of ​​the Korean team, but the midfielder Sun Xingmin of the Korean team quickly caught up and broke the ball from his feet...Sun Xingmin passed the football It was given to Park Ji-sung, and Park Ji-sung crossed it to Lee Ching-yong... Lee Ching-yong broke through the midfield with the ball, and Lin Chi-gao caught up to him... Tackle! Wonderful tackle! Substantial contact, Lin Zhigao did not foul!"

"Park Ji-sung, Lee Tsing-yong, and Sun Heung-min quickly surrounded Lin Zhigao, and even Park Joo-young was running towards him not far away. There were no teammates around Lin Zhigao. Will he choose to pass the ball or shoot directly? He just raised his foot and shot a long shot." ! A long shot from the midfield! Oh, it's a pity that it didn't score...the ball was hit a little high..."

There was regret in Duan Xuan's tone that could not be concealed.

"In the 20th minute of the first half, although neither the Chinese team nor the Korean team scored a goal, the game cannot be called dull, because the Chinese team and the Korean team launched an attack respectively, and the Chinese team's offensive It was done by Lin Zhigao, although the ball failed to score, it played a very good role in improving the morale of the Chinese team as a whole."

"The South Korean team launched another attack. Goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong kicked the football to Lee Jung-soo, Lee Jung-soo made a pass, and Park Ji-sung received the pass again. Park Ji-sung broke through the midfield with the ball, but unfortunately, he met Lin Zhengxiu. Zhigao, Lin Zhigao pressed him...the football reached Lin Zhigao's feet! He successfully intercepted Park Ji-sung's ball! Woohoo, it's amazing! Twice steals in 20 minutes, no fouls, and both succeeded Lin Zhigao's skills are really extraordinary! He is a domestic player, no, he is one of the few skilled players in Asia, and his physical strength is still very good."

After breaking the ball at Park Ji-sung's feet, Lin Zhigao was about to take the ball forward when he suddenly felt a sense of crisis coming from the front left. He quickly flicked the football to the right, and then turned around, just avoiding Park Zhou-yong's ferocious steal .

Almost without stopping, Lin Zhigao took the ball and rushed towards the South Korean team's penalty area. There were three Korean defenders guarding in front of him, and there were even Korean players approaching behind him. However, Lin Zhigao thought about passing the ball.

One is because there is really no teammate with a better position than him around him, and the other is because Lin Zhigao wants to score a goal.

If you want to score goals, you must score goals.It's that simple.

Pulling the football from his right foot to his left foot, dodged a steal by South Korean defender Cho Yong Hyung.Only the Korean goalkeeper and two defenders are left in front, Li Zhengxiu and Li Rongzhuo.

The sense of crisis coming from behind has not subsided. Lin Zhigao knew that it must be because there were other Korean players approaching behind him, so he decided to win with speed and score a goal as soon as possible.

Because in the past 20 minutes of the game, Lin Zhigao observed that most of the South Korean players were still full of fighting spirit, running and stealing very hard, but the running speed of some Chinese players had slowed down.

The Chinese team has never been an opponent of the South Korean team in physical and protracted battles, so a goal that can boost morale and hit the opponent's goals is very, very necessary.

Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu attacked Lin Zhigao from both sides. Lin Zhigao was only five meters away from them, and his reaction time was less than three seconds.

Direct shot, or dribble?

Almost without thinking, Lin Zhigao ran in front of the two South Korean defenders with the ball.

Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu held their breaths, aimed at Lin Zhigao's feet, and kicked him hard regardless of whether he would foul or not!

However, Lin Zhigao made a move one second earlier: he aimed at the middle of the football and kicked it forward lightly. The football passed through the gap between Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu's bodies. With a burst of momentum, he passed between the bodies of the two of them!

Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu yelled at the same time, then fell to the ground, hugged their bodies and began to cry out in pain!

But Lin Zhigao didn't even have the interest or time to look at them. He just caught up with the football, aimed in the direction of the goal, and volleyed vigorously!

The football goes through the goal and the net is raised high!

Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong failed to save and fell to the ground dejectedly!

……

Thousands of Chinese fans cheered wildly in the stadium, the five-star red flag was waved in a small half of the stadium, and the flashing lights came and went, making the stadium look like a night full of stars!

"The ball is in!"

Duan Xuan's face turned red with excitement: "Lin Zhigao dribbled the ball for three, no, four in a row! He broke through the defense of the four South Korean players by himself and shot the football into the goal! This is a lore! The Chinese team took the lead!"

After scoring the goal, Lin Zhigao cheered and rushed towards his own half.

Camacho shouted "God" excitedly outside the court, and the substitute players rushed to the side of the court to cheer. Most players in the team expressed their congratulations to Lin Zhigao, all during the training time of the past few days , a teammate who was conquered or impressed by Lin Zhigao.But there are also a few who are indifferent, but their expressions also have envy and jealousy that cannot be concealed.

It seems that at this moment, everyone ignored Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu who were still moaning on the ground...

No, the referee did not ignore them.

The gold medal referee of the Asian Football Federation, a Japanese, walked into the South Korean half with a straight face, and waved for Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu to stand up and continue the game.

But Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu were lying on the ground and couldn't get up. They claimed in English that Lin Zhigao had elbowed them when he just broke through. The goal of the Chinese team was invalid, and Lin Zhigao should also get a card yellow card!

Disputes on the court were quickly captured by the camera and transmitted to the live broadcast room.

Duan Xuan frowned and watched this scene: "Two South Korean players were lying on the ground and refused to get up, and complained to the referee that Lin Zhigao just scored a foul. The referee signaled them to watch the replay on the big screen..."

The scene of Lin Zhigao's breakthrough with the ball just now was quickly played back on the big screen: Lin Zhigao first kicked the football out of the gap between the two bodies with his feet, then accelerated his running, and passed through the gap between Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu. go out.The bodies of the three collided and rubbed to a certain extent, but there was no so-called elbow strike at all.However, Li Zhengxiu's arm was still blocking Lin Zhigao at that time. Lin Zhigao obviously staggered when he was running, but he quickly adjusted and continued to move forward.

This is a reasonable physical collision in the rules of football games.After playing back on the big screen, the referee once again asked Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu to stand up and continue the game, and the two got up from the ground reluctantly.

Surrounded by a circle of angry South Korean players, they had surrounded the referee and asked him to invalidate Lin Zhigao's goal just now.But the facts are now clearly in front of us, Lin Zhigao's goal was valid, the referee ignored them, and just whistled to signal the game to continue.

Duan Xuan has always been a very eloquent commentator, but at this time he couldn't help but frowned and complained: "The Korean players' behavior of obviously flopping and slandering the opponent is really..."

For the sake of his own work, Duan Xuan didn't continue that sentence, but many Chinese fans in front of the TV showed anger and cursed bitterly: "You're so despicable!"

……

In the world of football, physical collision is indispensable.When many players are defending, their actions are unavoidably too large or too far, causing physical damage to the opponent's players. At this time, the referee will usually blow the whistle and give the player who deliberately defended maliciously a yellow card Or a red card, and a free kick to the injured player, or a penalty.

With this kind of rule, one thing is indispensable in the game, that is-flopping.

Diving, as the name suggests, is when there is a reasonable confrontation in a football match, or when there is no confrontation at all, one player pretends to be fouled by the opponent and falls down, making various actions that suffer injuries, in order to deceive the referee into a foul penalty , Get a penalty kick for yourself, and create a red card and a yellow card for the opposing player.

Diving incidents are not uncommon in the football world, and almost any professional player has the energy to flop and cheat the ball.Depending on how realistic their performance is, some referees will simply tell them to continue the game, or simply give the diving player a yellow card.But there are also referees who are really deceived and give these floppers what they want.

Fans even commented on the top ten flopping kings in world football, and each of them has performances that can be called Oscar winners.

In this game, the actions of Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu were obviously flopping, but fortunately the referee is a sharp-eyed figure, otherwise, Lin Zhigao's goal might really be ruled invalid.

In fact, the flopping between the two was not too extreme. Lin Zhigao did have a physical collision with them, but it was within a reasonable range.Just because of the subtle antagonism between Chinese and South Korean fans, Li Rongzhuo and Li Zhengxiu's diving was invalid, which triggered the first wave of fan conflicts in the stadium.

South Korean fans yelled at the stands of Chinese fans: Barbaric Chinese, you hurt our players!

And the Chinese fans were not to be outdone, and fought back loudly: Shameless liar!Dipping king!Oscar winner stick!

The loud noises in the stadium once greatly affected the normal progress of the game, but the fans of the two countries scolded each other with great interest and refused to show weakness at all.

In fact, many, many reporters sitting in front of the fan area felt headaches and doubts: the Chinese and Korean fans are swearing in their own languages, obviously speaking with chickens and ducks, you don’t know what I’m talking about, I don't understand you either, but it's a strange thing to be able to scold each other so happily.
