Chapter 131: Bloodbath of the South Korean team, the first East Asian Games championship in history! The kind of team leader you have will determine the kind of team you can lead. In the current national team, Lin Feng is the undisputed leader. Under the leadership of Lin Feng, the leader, the Chinese national football team was united in their hatred of the enemy and adopted the attitude of treating the enemy, vowing to give the South Korean team a good beating. Koreans have always been arrogant and play dirty on the court, not to mention all kinds of shameful tricks. The Chinese national football team, which has a deep grudge with them, has suffered many losses at the hands of this neighboring country. In the past, the Chinese national football team was not strong enough to beat the opponent. Faced with the opponent’s humiliation and ridicule, fans and players could only swallow their anger. But now, the Chinese national football team has so many young talents studying abroad, and its strength has surpassed that of the South Korean team. If that’s the case, why should we endure it any longer? It's time to settle the grudges of the past! Facing the Chinese team that was full of murderous intent and had a strong desire to attack, the Koreans seemed a little uncomfortable.
They have never met a Chinese team like this before! In the past, when they met the Chinese team on the field, the Chinese players were intimidated before the game even started, and they played even more timidly on the field. They were no match for the Korean team at all. But why does this team feel so unfamiliar? The score of 3:0 gave the Chinese national football players on the field enough confidence, and Lin Feng's presence not only helped them attract the opponent's firepower, but also allowed them to find their backbone and return to their familiar and comfortable style of play. The number of mistakes made by the Chinese team began to decrease significantly, and they became more and more skilled in various forms of coordination. Occasionally, they can even come up with some eye-catching and exquisite combinations. Some non-overseas players also put on eye-catching individual performances from time to time under this rhythm. Once they calmed down and found their confidence, their performance on the field got better and better. The fans in the stands were extremely surprised. Not only the Koreans, but even our own people felt that this Chinese national team was unfamiliar. "This national football team has the flavor of the national team in the 02 World Cup!" "When we played against the Brazilian team, we were able to withstand the pressure from the five-star Brazilian team and put on a pleasing performance on the field. I don't know what happened, but in just three years the Chinese national football team has fallen to this point!" "Alas, who says it's not true? Although I also scolded the Chinese national football team for their three consecutive defeats in the World Cup, I really thought that was just the beginning and that the national team would definitely get better and better in the future. Who would have thought that it was actually the peak..." The fans are just talking. The Chinese national team on the field is far from the one that participated in the World Cup. Even with Lin Feng and others, the two are not at the same level in terms of strength. The Chinese national football team in the 02 World Cup is undoubtedly the strongest national football team in history. It was different from the later Chinese national football teams that couldn’t even get the ball out, relied entirely on high balls for offense, and played like shit on the ground. The Chinese national football team in 02 had very solid footwork and a good mentality. They dared to take the ball, make moves, and coordinate attacks on the ground, and they played very well. Although they suffered a crushing defeat to the Brazilian team, in the first half alone, the Chinese national team still played in their own style and at their own level. But the luck of the Chinese national football team was indeed not very good. Among the three opponents in the group stage, one was the champion and the third place, and the remaining one was not a pushover either. In the end, they lost all three games, failed to score a single goal, and were eliminated in disgrace.
If Zhao Junzhe had scored that goal in the match against Brazil, the Chinese national football team might not have received so much criticism. Therefore, fans comparing the Chinese national football team on the field to the national team in the 02 World Cup is a very high evaluation of them. Although Chen Tao left the court, Hao Junmin, who was substituted in, was not inferior to Chen Tao in terms of offensive power. Although he didn't have many opportunities to play at Schalke 04, his self-confidence and talent were slightly diminished. But in Asian competitions of the same level, Hao Junmin is full of confidence. After he came on the pitch, he used his personal abilities to create opportunities on the wing many times. The South Korean team's midfielder and full-back were made very embarrassed by Hao Junmin's breakthrough and dribbling! This guy is so fast and so agile. Not only does he have outstanding small techniques, he is also very good at positioning. Just by watching how he plays football, you can feel that he has a kind of spirituality, which is a trait that is difficult to cultivate in China's youth training system. The reason why Chen Tao amazes the fans is because of his spirituality and creativity, which are difficult to cultivate through youth training and rely entirely on the player's talent. However, the domestic youth training system is not scientific. Not only does it not encourage players to improvise, but it also strongly suppresses them. The end result is that everyone is the same, as if they want to smooth out the edges of all the players and make them all look like the same mold. In the winger position, Hao Junmin is currently the best candidate for the Chinese team, and it can even be said that he is the best candidate in the past five years! Hao Junmin was in great form on the wing, while Lin Feng was in great form in the middle. The combination of the two produced an effect of 1+1>2, which turned the South Korean team's defense on the left upside down. In the 42nd minute, Lin Feng dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and pretended to break into the penalty area, but when he arrived near the penalty area line, he suddenly passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Hao Junmin was lying in ambush here and quickly rushed into the penalty area after receiving the ball. The South Korean players treated him as a formidable enemy. They lowered their center of gravity, half-turned their bodies, and watched his every move closely. When the opponent's defensive players' attention was all on his feet, Hao Junmin lowered his left shoulder and dunked the ball to the left, creating the illusion that he was preparing to break through from the inside. The opponent was fooled and hurriedly blocked the space inside, but Hao Junmin made an inward and outward move, unexpectedly breaking through from the outside along the baseline. The Korean player who realized he had been tricked turned around and chased after him, and the Korean center back in the middle of the penalty area also rushed over to make up for the defense at the first opportunity. But Hao Junmin was faster. He raised his foot and shot before the opponent blocked him. The Korean defender did not suspect anything and blocked the ball together with the goalkeeper. But Hao Junmin dribbled the ball again, passed the ball from his right foot to his left foot, and completed a shot with his left foot! From the perspective of the fans at the scene, Hao Junmin's position at this time was already at the edge of the small penalty area and very close to the bottom line, which meant that his shooting angle was very small. In their field of vision, the South Korean team's goalkeeper had already moved to the near corner, blocking almost all the last shooting angles. So when seeing Hao Junmin shooting, most people thought that this ball had no chance. But the result was beyond everyone's expectations. The football flew over Zheng Chenglong's head and hit the side net on the other side of the goal. The score became 4:0, and Hao Junmin scored a stunning goal from a small angle. There was an uproar in the stands, and even the commentator couldn't help but exclaimed: "Incredible goal, there is almost no shooting angle from this position!" "How did Hao Junmin score this goal?" Countless fans were also curious about this question, and the broadcaster was very understanding. They immediately arranged a slow-motion replay, and it was a replay with multiple cameras on site from different angles. After watching these replays, the fans were all amazed. "This kid is simply a genius!"
"He first shot through the crotch of the Korean full-back, and then when the opponent's central defender and goalkeeper blocked him at the same time, he paused before shooting. Hao Junmin was so clear-headed and calm!" "I would like to call it the Chinese Magic Wings!" "This child will definitely be extraordinary in the future!" When Hao Junmin shot, Lin Feng had already arrived near the penalty area line and witnessed the entire process of his goal. "Xiaohao, you shoot beautifully!" "You're the one who spread it well!" Hao Junmin responded with a smile, and the two smiled at each other and high-fived to celebrate. Before the half was over, the score was already 4:0. The South Korean team has never been in such a desperate situation on the field! If the South Korean team fails to perform a miracle in the second half, the game is almost destined to turn into a tragedy. In just three months, not only did the South Korean team's unbeaten myth against the Chinese team break, but they even inflicted a tragedy on the Chinese team! This is unprecedented for Koreans. The fans who had originally held out some hope for the South Korean team and had not left, when they saw the Chinese team win another game, turned off the TV cursing. Some extreme fans even smashed the TV in anger! shame! An unprecedented shame! Under the oppression of the chaebols, Koreans were already feeling suffocated. I wanted to watch a game to relax, but I didn't expect that instead of relaxing, I ended up feeling even more depressed. The big loss to a weak team like China had an unparalleled impact on the Koreans. If we make an analogy, the impact of this game on Korean fans is even greater than the impact of the Chinese national team losing 1:5 to the Thai team! However, there is something that hurts them even more - there is still a lot of time left in the competition! Although they have scored four goals, the Chinese team does not intend to give up. At the end of the first half, the Chinese team's offensive continued unabated. Hao Junmin and Lin Feng cooperated on the wing many times, constantly creating threats in front of the Korean team's goal. If it weren't for Zheng Chenglong's recovery at the last moment and Gao Lin's wasted opportunity, the score might have been rewritten again. A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half. The players of the South Korean team felt relieved and finally had time to catch their breath. The Chinese team's previous round of attack made them feel suffocated. The tension and huge defensive pressure made it almost impossible for them to breathe. The thought of having to go through another 45 minutes of this hellish experience in the second half made Koreans shudder and resist from the bottom of their hearts. As the side leading by a large margin, the Chinese national team players did not have this feeling at all. The team members were chatting and laughing, showing off their wonderful performances in the game and sharing some practical skills, with happy smiles on their faces.
The same was true for the fans in the stands. When the players left the field, they cheered and applauded warmly, and then started to wave people in the stands. The DJ at the stadium also played festive music at the right time and used a loudspeaker to lead the fans to have fun together. The Korean players who were leaving the field felt even more uneasy when they heard the noise coming from the stands. They don't understand Chinese music and don't know what Chinese people are laughing at. But they subconsciously felt that the other party was laughing at them, the losers. This made them feel humiliated and angry, but they were powerless and could only lower their heads and walk quickly towards the player tunnel to escape from this hell as soon as possible. …… "The morale of the Koreans has collapsed. There is no need to play so aggressively in the second half. Just play more conservatively and don't get hurt!" Zhu Guanghu was very satisfied with the result of the first half, so he did not make any adjustments to the tactics. He just reminded the players to protect themselves and be careful not to let the Koreans get desperate and commit malicious fouls against them. Chen Tao is already injured, the Chinese team cannot lose any more players. I don’t know whether the South Korean team’s coach is too stubborn or has unrealistic fantasies about the game. They did not make any substitutions in the second half. Park Joo-young and Lee Keun-ho, who performed poorly in the first half, were still on the court. After the start of the game, the two players tried very hard to press the Chinese players in the frontcourt, trying to reverse the overall passive situation in the first half. The other Korean players also pressed forward in an attempt to regain their lost advantage. Perhaps it was the 15-minute halftime break that allowed the South Korean team to recover a little. Let them have enough physical strength to support them to play like this, but this style of play consumes a lot of the players' physical energy. If they don't see any results soon, they won't be able to hold on for much longer. Once their physical strength is exhausted and the Chinese team is not defeated by them, they will be at the mercy of others. Seeing that the Korean team was fighting so fiercely, Lin Feng focused his main energy on defense. The Koreans originally thought that he was an offensive player and played at the attacking midfielder position. He would definitely have trouble adapting to the unfamiliar position of defensive midfielder. But after they attacked fiercely for more than ten minutes, they found that Lin Feng was not only good at offense, but also good at defense. His awareness of prediction, positioning, stealing the ball and helping out on defense are all very good, and his physical fitness is also very good. Not only is he not at a disadvantage when competing with Korean players, he often even gets the upper hand. The Korean's physical fitness may not be inferior to Lin Feng's, but he is far behind him in experience in physical confrontation. Lin Feng has experienced high-intensity competitions such as the top five leagues and the Champions League. His awareness and experience in physical confrontation are far beyond the reach of the young players of the South Korean team. Lin Feng's outstanding performance as the defensive midfielder, coupled with Feng Xiaoting's backup on the back line, helped the Chinese team withstand this round of counterattack by the Koreans. After 60 minutes, the Koreans' physical strength declined and they were forced to change their tactics. The Koreans wanted to slow down the game, but how could the Chinese team let them do that?
It is rude not to reciprocate. Now that the Korean team's offensive round is over, it is now the Chinese team's turn. In the 62nd minute, Lin Feng cooperated with his teammates and completed a steal in the middle, sounding the clarion call for the Chinese team's full-scale counterattack. Lin Feng did not entangle with his opponent in the middle, but made a long pass and transferred the ball to the right side. Hao Junmin dribbled the ball inside, cooperated with Gao Lin in the middle, broke into the penalty area and completed a shot. Zheng Chenglong continued his form at the end of the first half and bravely saved Hao Junmin's shot. But the crisis is not over yet! The Chinese team took a corner kick, Feng Xiaoting rushed to the front point and headed the ball from close range to help the Chinese team expand the score again. 5: 0! Zheng Chenglong had finally recovered a little bit of his condition, but it was completely gone with this goal! Under the leadership of Lin Feng, the Chinese team gradually accelerated the tempo of the game and launched an attack on the South Korean team again, just like at the end of the first half. Everything seemed to have returned to the familiar rhythm, with the Chinese team attacking desperately and the South Korean team defending desperately. As for Park Joo-young and Lee Keun-ho, they couldn't get the ball in the frontcourt at all. Even though they were reluctant, they had to come back to participate in the defense at this time. In the 72nd minute, China's attack returned. This time, Lin Feng cooperated with Gao Lin in the middle. The latter passed the ball with his back at the top of the penalty area. Lin Feng dribbled into the penalty area, dribbled past the Korean defender, and then calmly pushed the ball into the far corner under the block of the goalkeeper, helping the Chinese team to expand the score again! 6: 0! Every goal scored by the Chinese team was like a bullet hitting the Koreans. The game wasn't over yet, but they were already beaten to pieces! The Korean players on the field were completely stunned. They played mechanically like zombies. Such performance obviously cannot stop the Chinese team from continuing to score goals! In the 78th minute, it was Lin Feng again who took advantage of the Korean defensive mistake and sent a fatal through pass. After receiving the ball, Gao Lin easily shot the ball into the goal, and the score became 7:0! This score has tied the score of the previous game between China and Japan, but it is still a little short of the 10:0 victory over Macau, China in the group stage! After all, the people of Macau are our compatriots. There is no reason to kick our own people more harshly than outsiders! Only a giant nation like South Korea can shoulder the honor of having the biggest score! So after scoring the goal, the Chinese team just ran with the ball as usual, without wasting any time celebrating. This scene made the Korean players on the field angry: No, big brother, you have scored 7 goals, aren’t you satisfied? They were so angry that they made all kinds of dirty moves and committed fouls in the following defense. However, fouls can sometimes become the death warrant of one's own actions. In the 82nd minute, the South Korean team knocked down Lin Feng who was dribbling the ball in the frontcourt. The Korean player who committed the foul glared at Lin Feng fiercely, as if warning him that if he dared to attack again, he would be in trouble. But Lin Feng was not someone who could be frightened easily. He quickly got up from the ground, ignored the Koreans' eye warnings, and with a Mihajlovic-style free kick, he once again penetrated the Korean team's goal. 8: 0! Zheng Chenglong has suffered psychological trauma!
From then on, whenever I saw a team wearing red clothes, I would feel scared for no reason. After scoring the goal, Lin Feng was not going to give up. There was not much time left for the Chinese team to attack, and he and his teammates had to score two more goals! But Zhu Guanghu on the sidelines couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he used his last substitution and replaced Lin Feng. The Koreans had just fouled Lin Feng. If they left him on the field, and the Koreans, who were already trailing by a large margin, went all out and got a red card to knock him out, that would be a huge loss. But what he didn't expect was that after Lin Feng left the field, the Chinese national football team, led by Hao Junmin and Gao Lin, still did not give up the attack. "These guys!" Zhu Guanghu was both angry and amused, and finally shook his head helplessly. Forget it, let them be. Anyway, I am not the head coach of the National Olympic Team. This team will most likely be handed over to Krauchen or someone else in the future. Let them worry about this problem! Considering it from another perspective, it may not be a bad thing for the Chinese national football team to have such a strong enterprising spirit and desire to attack! Although Hao Junmin and Gao Lin tried very hard to score goals, without Lin Feng delivering ammunition behind them, the Chinese team's offensive firepower inevitably declined. The efforts of the two players were not rewarded and the Chinese team failed to score any more goals. Ten minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. The moment the game ended, the entire stadium turned into a sea of joy. The coaches and players on the bench all rushed to the court and celebrated wildly with the players on the field. This is the first time in history that the Chinese team has won the East Asian Games championship! (End of this chapter)
