Lippi was a little helpless. It seemed impossible to fix Zhao Gang on the front line and free him from defense.

In terms of formation, he hadn't even directed from the sidelines, and it had already turned into a 4-4-2 again.

The South Korean team on the field, active for more than ten minutes, launched a fairly impressive attack. But when Zhao Gang retreated to midfield and fell back to defend, they immediately became somewhat unaccustomed.

"This is Zhao Gang's ability to read the game. Because he understands the thinking of attacking players very well, he is very effective in defending against the South Korean team's midfield.

It's just that this kind of play, grabbing both offense and defense, will be very exhausting for him. If Guardiola is watching the game, he's probably on pins and needles."

The South Korean team wanted to organize an attack through the middle, but it had become somewhat difficult. Stielike didn't hesitate and directly replaced Kim Tae-hee, who was declining in physical strength, with Heo Yong-joon, who had stronger wing impact.

Coupled with the reinforcements of the two full-backs, the defensive pressure on the two wings of the Dragon Kingdom team suddenly increased.

At the same time, Koo Ja-cheol's range of activity as a central midfielder became larger. Since Ki Sung-yueng was defended by Zhao Gang and lost his due role, another player similar to a free man on the field was needed to become the core of the offensive organization.

Similar to Bayern's Müller, he created opportunities for the two wings through constant running and pulling.

Zhao Gang couldn't possibly defend two people, could he?

No matter how great his stamina and skills were, he couldn't cover two areas, right?

Stielike's idea was good, and his tactical level was also acceptable.

Koo Ja-cheol also had the advantages of the South Korean team, that is, he could run tirelessly, so he could indeed act as a free man in the frontcourt.

Unfortunately, Stielike made the same mistake as before.

Just like Hwang Hee-chan, a striker, couldn't be used as a defensive midfielder, Koo Ja-cheol was not Bayern's Müller at all. He simply didn't have Müller's ability to organize and link up.

The South Korean team could attack one wing fiercely, but if they wanted to switch to the other wing, Koo Ja-cheol couldn't act as a pivot.

The old and strong captain Zheng Zhi dealt with Koo Ja-cheol alone in the middle.

He could only force Hwang Hee-chan to keep retreating to support, picking the ball out of the middle and letting the two wings rush up completely.

The second half of the game had passed twenty minutes. Although South Korea's offense had become more frequent and fierce, and some tactics could be successful, the Dragon Kingdom's defense fought bravely one by one, firmly controlling the situation.

The most threatening attack from South Korea came from Heo Yong-joon, who came on as a substitute. He received a pass from Hwang Hee-chan's retreat and crossed the ball. Ji Dong-won on the other side jumped up and made a powerful header. Zeng Cheng lived up to expectations, and before he could lower his body, he kicked the ball off the goal line!

South Korea's offense could only form shots through this kind of high-altitude bombardment. Ground coordination was almost locked down by the cooperation of Zhao Gang and Zheng Zhi.

At this time, the South Korean team directly began to counter-press on the spot.

If they retreated to defend again, they would have even less chance to equalize the score.

After Jiang Zhipeng received the ball, Heo Yong-joon and Koo Ja-cheol quickly surrounded him, desperately trying to block and snatch it.

It became difficult for Jiang Zhipeng to pass the ball, and he almost made a mistake. At this time, Zhao Gang, who had retreated to the defensive midfielder position, ran over. When Jiang Zhipeng could no longer see his teammates, he directly blocked Koo Ja-cheol and took the ball away with one kick.

In an instant, Zhao Gang ran towards the middle with the ball, and Koo Ja-cheol and Heo Yong-joon approached Zhao Gang again.

Unfortunately, these two had no chance to snatch Zhao Gang's ball. Zhao Gang made a powerful diagonal long pass and directly found Wang Yongpo on the wing.

This kick not only failed South Korea's high press, but even directly brought considerable danger to the South Korean team.

Wang Yongpo rushed forward with the ball. His shooting and running abilities were a little worse than Wu Lei's, but his breakthrough ability was slightly better than Wu Lei's.

Zhao Gang quickly moved forward to respond, while Yu Dabao and Wu Lei were already running in the frontcourt, waiting for Wang Yongpo's pass.

Wang Yongpo made a feint, trying to cut inside, but was directly seen through by Jang Hyun-soo, who poked the ball out and passed it to Ki Sung-yueng. After Ki Sung-yueng got the ball, he quickly started a counterattack.

A very good attack from the Dragon Kingdom team was destroyed. The overall formation of the teammates moved forward, leading to unstable defensive positioning. They were immediately countered by the South Korean team.

The few South Korean fans in the stands shouted "Ki Sung-yueng oppa" and cheered vigorously.

Ki Sung-yueng saw Zhao Gang and passed the ball directly to Koo Ja-cheol.

Facing Zheng Zhi, Koo Ja-cheol didn't hesitate and distributed the ball to Heo Yong-joon.

The South Korean team's counterattack also looked smooth and flowing.

Heo Yong-joon dribbled the ball, pretending to break through, and then cut inside, shaking off Jiang Zhipeng, who had not stood his ground, and rushed directly to the penalty area!

After a one-two with Hwang Hee-chan, a through ball directly penetrated the Dragon Kingdom team's two defenders.

Koo Ja-cheol followed up, broke into the penalty area, and got the ball!

The game had reached the seventy-seventh minute. If Koo Ja-cheol scored a goal at this time, it was likely that he would take advantage of the momentum and equalize the score!

Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang had made a big mistake in the first half. This time, they reacted very quickly, strode forward, and desperately chased Koo Ja-cheol.

Koo Ja-cheol's speed was much worse than Hwang Hee-chan's.

If it was Hwang Hee-chan, he should have shaken them off and shot already.

Koo Ja-cheol received the ball, dribbled it, and adjusted it twice. Just as he was about to shoot at Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting chased for two steps and made a sliding tackle!

His timing in the penalty area has always been accurate, otherwise he would not have won the Dragon Kingdom Golden Ball Award.

Koo Ja-cheol's one-on-one opportunity was gone just like that.

He staggered and fell to the ground, pounding the turf in frustration.

At this time, the Dragon Kingdom fans in the entire stadium shouted loudly, applauding Feng Xiaoting's wonderful defense.

The applause suddenly became more intense, accompanied by boiling cheers and cheers. Feng Xiaoting, who was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, looked fierce. My mighty posture was indeed recognized.

But was this cheer too loud?

He turned his head and found that Zhao Gang, who had returned to defend, had received a powerful throw from Zeng Cheng and taken off!

Feng Xiaoting touched his head. Oh, this cheer wasn't for me. I just said a tackle, it shouldn't be so crazy.

"The South Korean team's offensive and defensive transition is not yet in place! The Dragon Kingdom team's very fast counterattack is coming, it's coming! Ki Sung-yueng didn't have time to foul!

Go Myong-jin's speed can't keep up at all! At this time, Zhao Gang still has such strong explosiveness and speed, directly甩开 Go Myong-jin! (shuaikai - to shake off)

Does it look like it? Does Zhao Gang look like a soaring red dragon? There is only one central defender, Jang Hyun-soo, in the backcourt, and Hong Jeong-ho has not yet returned!

There is only one defense left. Jang Hyun-soo doesn't dare to approach at all. He can only maintain a certain distance to delay Zhao Gang's speed, hoping that his teammates can return to defend as soon as possible.

Wu Xi is on the wing, how will Zhao Gang handle this ball?"

Zhao Gang, who had rushed to the front of the penalty area, saw Jang Hyun-soo in front of him, preventing him from breaking through from a distance.

With such a good one-on-one opportunity, Zhao Gang didn't hesitate at all.

He swung his right leg and搓 (cuo - to rub/spin) the ball up with one kick.

He shot...

Jang Hyun-soo wanted to step forward to block, but it was too late.

He could only subconsciously raise his leg, but the ball flew directly over his head and towards the goal!

Most people didn't realize that Zhao Gang would choose this way to shoot.

When dribbling forward, with a defender in front of him, he suddenly kicked outside the penalty area.

At least he should have flashed some angles, right?

And this shot didn't seem to have much power. It was a lob shot.

Usually, this shooting method is chosen only when facing the goalkeeper directly.

You still have a defender, you lob?

There's still a goalkeeper behind!

The football flew up, drawing a very terrifying arc in the air.

It looked like a rainbow.

Kwon Sun-tae was ready, saw the route of the football, the upper left corner of the goal!

Kwon Sun-tae jumped up and hit the football with both hands.

The football rotated at high speed. Kwon Sun-tae's eyes widened. His hands were about to touch the football, but his body began to fall!

The ball directly hit the crossbar with a spin!

Bang!

In Kwon Sun-tae's unbelievable gaze, the football hit the crossbar, bounced off his back, and crashed into the net.

After Kwon Sun-tae fell to the ground, he reacted quickly, turned around directly, and grabbed the still bouncing football.

He even stood up and pretended to prepare to kick the goal kick!

This performance was very realistic, but the referee had already pointed to his wrist, and then pointed to the center circle. It crossed the line, no need to act.

If this were the World Cup ten years ago, I could have blown the ball out, but this time you didn't give me money, and I can't go against my conscience and blow it out!

Zhao Gang directly did two backflips in place and excitedly hugged Wu Lei, who ran over to celebrate.

From the moment Zhao Gang dribbled the ball forward, the cheers from the fans at the scene rose higher and higher. When the football entered the net, the sound reached its peak!

Zhao Gang put his arm around Wu Lei and looked at the fans in the stands who were gaping,捶 (chui - to beat) their chests, and even had somewhat狰狞 (zhengning - hideous) faces, roaring to their heart's content.

They waved their jerseys and jumped hard, even more excited than during the New Year.

Red flags were flying wantonly, and surging blood was burning passionately.

"Three to zero! Three to zero!! There is really not much time left for the South Korean team. With about ten minutes left, the South Korean team really needs to organize their attack, otherwise they will be greeted with a crushing defeat today! A huge and heavy defeat!"

Those South Korean fans who came to the away game, with the South Korean flag painted on their beautiful faces and tears of despair in their eyes, made many Dragon Kingdom fans watching the game sigh.

Too pitiful, it's sad to look at.

They traveled thousands of miles to cheer for their idols, but the result was so miserable.

You players on the field have to work harder and score a few more goals!

The more goals you score, the more uncomfortable they will be, and the more beautiful they will look!

Score two more, score two more!

They haven't completely despaired yet!

South Korean beauties with broken hearts are even more lovely and beautiful!
