The tide is over.

This was destined to be another humiliating match for the Korean team. They once again lost to the Chinese team by a huge score.

Head coach Bento still used the last substitution spot and replaced Son Heung-min.

Bento should be very clear in his heart that if Son Heung-min does not come down, the Korean team may continue to attack the Chinese team. In this case, the Korean team will lose even more miserably.

After weighing it in his mind for more than a minute, he made a decision.

Son Heung-min, who looked gloomy, walked all the way to the tunnel after getting off the field and did not return to the bench at all.

He couldn't accept this result, nor could he accept Bento replacing him.

The score is ugly, but it shouldn't be this ugly.

Bento originally wanted to hug him on the sidelines of the court, but Son Heung-min turned his head and walked over without looking back.

However, Bento didn't take it to heart, and immediately changed the tactics on the court, letting the team focus on defense and no longer fight against the Chinese team. It was meaningless. It was better to concede fewer penalties.

The South Korean team had almost no offensive in the later period. They retreated across the board with no desire or desire.

The Chinese team also played very casually and did not press forward to attack. Naturally, the two sides maintained a good tacit understanding.

At the end of the game, the score was still 8:4.

The Chinese team won all three games in the group stage and took first place in the group. Next, it depends on who their opponent is in the knockout rounds.

Definitely third in Group A.

Originally, the final round of Group A was supposed to be played before the Chinese team's game, but it was said that some security-threatening incidents occurred before the game, and the game was postponed for one day.

If you think about it with your heels, you should know what's going on, because it involves the opponent in the knockout round.

As the host nation, the UAE must protect their own interests, so they changed the time of the game in an ugly way.

But this is not what the Chinese team needs to worry about. Even if they meet the host UAE immediately, it is not a big deal.

The powerful strength lies here. Kill gods when you meet them, kill Buddhas when you meet them.

At the post-match press conference, South Korea coach Bento still said strongly:

"If the Chinese team does not have Luo Wu in this game, the Korean team can easily win. The gap between our Korean team and the Chinese team is not a gap in strength, but a gap of only one point."

"If Luo Wu is removed, the Chinese team will be nothing."

"Their backcourt was terrible. Our players created countless opportunities on it, but we didn't take advantage of it."

"If we keep playing like we did in the first half of the first half, the Chinese team will have no chance at all."

Why are you so stubborn after losing? There are so many what-ifs in this world.

Without Maradona, Argentina would not have a World Cup title.

Without the Miracle in Istanbul, Liverpool would not have won their fifth Champions League.

If Gotze had not played for the German team, the German team would not have won the World Cup in 2014.

Without Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid would not have won three consecutive Champions League titles.

…

There are so many ifs.

The Chinese team really relied on Luo Wu to improve the team's strength.

Then Bento defended his favorite general Son Heung-min very contradictoryly.

"Although the South Korean team lost, Son Heung-min did not lose. I think he was the best player in this game."

If Son Heung-min is the best player, then who does Ra Wu count?

What a lie.

"If the Korean team has two Son Heung-mins, then this game can definitely be won. Of course, I am not saying that the other players played poorly, but they are not as amazing as Son Heung-min. The Korean team has many excellent players, and they can still do it.

Continue to improve. I believe that as the game progresses, the Korean team will get better and better. If we meet the Chinese team again, I firmly believe that we can beat them!"

Defeat the Chinese team in the next encounter?

Bento's tone is still very crazy.

However, according to the schedule, it is indeed very likely that the Chinese team and the South Korean team will meet.

As long as both sides don't lose, they will definitely meet again, and it will be in the final.

Can the Korean team make it to the end?

"We did an excellent job in every detail. For a long time, I thought we could win, but like I just said, we just lost to one person. There's nothing to say.

Let’s see you next time.”

Later, the paparazzi asked why Son Heung-min refused to end the game. Bento said bluntly:

"We communicated in the locker room after the game. Son Heung-min told me that he still wanted to continue fighting, he wanted to continue scoring goals, and he wanted to win, so he didn't want to end the game. In fact, I could understand his mood at the time.

Then it came true for him, and he worked very hard from behind, but he couldn't reverse the situation by working hard alone."

"Later he still came off the field. He was emotional at that time, and I would also be emotional, but we communicated well in the locker room. We have nothing to think about next. We will play well in the knockout round. We will still

There is a chance for revenge."

…

While Bento was tough at the post-match press conference, Lippi seemed magnanimous.

He said in the interview: "The Korean team is indeed very strong. In terms of overall strength, they are indeed superior in skills. The reason why we won today's game is indeed because of Luo Wu."

"Yes, because we have Luo Wu, he can shorten the gap between the two teams and surpass the opponent with his personal ability."

"But this is not just an individual problem, because Luo Wu has led other teammates."

"Obviously because of the presence of Luo Wu, Zheng Zhi plays very comfortably, and Xu Xin also plays very comfortably. Wei Shihao on the left can dribble the ball calmly, break through and pass the ball, and Wu Lei on the right can also run around and look for opportunities.

The two centers can also play their roles with peace of mind."

"Bento said our defense is terrible, but I think our defense has improved. We are improving a little bit every game..."

Lippi was in a good mood and kept smiling.

But reporters always felt weird when they heard this, and felt that Lippi was not telling the truth.

Has the Chinese team's defense really improved?

You can only know if you ask Zhang Linpeng how he feels...

But how can Zhang Linpeng accept an interview? The national team will not agree to it. Hide him quickly and don't let him be embarrassed outside. What if he says the wrong thing again during the interview?

Lippi also gave the answer to why Luo Wu did not catch up with Son Heung-min's goals.

"I find that you are more anxious than Luo Wu. Luo Wu has never mentioned how many goals he will score, but you have been worried about him. He has only played two games in the Asian Cup and has already completed 9

A goal, isn’t this offensive efficiency enough?”

"Although Son Heung-min has scored 11 goals, I believe that the final top scorer is Luo Wu. We don't need to worry at all and can just quietly enjoy his performance."

"Have you ever worried about Messi and Ronaldo's goals? No, and the same is true for Luo Wu."

The press conference was very brief and ended quickly.

For Lippi, this was just an ordinary victory, nothing worth showing off.

He is even now looking forward to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He will be excited only in that arena.

He now wants to create new history and create new miracles, and his current victory has made him feel calm.

But the Chinese media is not like this. This victory has set off another wave of hype.

Luo Wu must be the traffic password. And because of the benefits brought by Luo Wu, Wei Shihao, Xu Xin, Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei were also hyped by the media.

After all, their performance on the offensive end is indeed outstanding, and they have never had such an amazing performance before.

The only person to be criticized is the defense, especially Zhang Linpeng. This guy's poor performance in two consecutive games has been completely criticized by the media.

Almost all media suggested that Lippi take Zhang Linpeng off and not let him start again.

Liu Yang’s evaluation was not much better either. He was criticized so much that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Comments on the Chinese team are polarized. The midfield and frontcourt were highly praised, while the backcourt was rated as a third-rate defense.

The only exception is that Wang Dalei was affirmed and believed that Wang Dalei should continue to start in the knockout rounds instead of continuing to give Yan Junling opportunities.

In South Korea, the headlines in the Korean media basically read like this - the South Korean team lost, but Son Heung-min did not lose.

This may be the only reason Koreans can find self-comfort.

"Seoul Sports News": Personally speaking, Son Heung-min is no less powerful than the Chinese Luo Wu. He is also dragging the Korean team forward alone. We just lost this game due to luck. If other teammates can catch

More chances, the score might be the other way around.

This is the legendary spiritual victory method, and they can come up with it.

But Son Heung-min didn’t think so. Son Heung-min wrote on his social networking site: Another nightmare! We lost two consecutive games. These were the two most humiliating encounters in our career. We didn’t

Do everything we set out before. We are not strong enough! I hope we can beat them when we meet for the third time! This is a new mission that our generation must complete! See you in the finals!
