Chapter 208 This is the past!
"Can Dong Fangzhuo lead the Chinese team to fight against South Korea successfully in the post-Hao Haidong era?"
"Manchester United Killer Is the Nuclear Weapon That Will Defeat in 27 Years of Unwind"
"Korea is shaking!"
Domestic media cheered the Chinese team before the game, and there were also many Chinese fans coming to South Korea. Many fans came to South Korea three days in advance, but the Chinese team's training was not open to the public. Chinese fans were naturally disappointed. They could not wait to see the Manchester United forward in Seoul.
The media in South Korea are also cheering for the South Korean team, and the Chosun Ilbo is quite disrespectful to the Chinese team.
"Manchester United Killer? Our European Legion can directly kill the Chinese team" - look at our European Legion lineup, it scares the Chinese people to death.
"We are the semi-finals of the World Cup, what is the Chinese team?"
Since stealing the semi-finals in the 2002 World Cup, more and more Korean players have gone to Europe to play football, and have reached their peak in recent years. With the star players in South Korea, the Korean lineup does look very terrifying.
In order to prepare for the first match between the World Cup Asian quarterfinals and the Chinese team, the Korean Football Association announced a 26-man training list early. An Jung-hwan, who once played for Perugia in this list, was not in the team, and the "Real Madrid of South Korea" Suwon Samsung, who will meet Shenzhen Jianlibao three times in the A3 League and the AFC Champions League, only four of them were selected.
Before the announcement of this lineup, the South Korean team had just finished training in Los Angeles. They drew 1-1 with Paraguay and Sweden in three warm-up matches and lost 1-2 to Colombia. Based on the players' performance in the game and the current status of overseas players, head coach Bonfrere made some personnel adjustments based on the lineup in the United States.
In this new lineup, six overseas players have been added, including Lee Tin-soo who plays for Newmansia in La Liga, Park Ji-sung and Lee Yong-pyo who plays for Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, Sao Qi-hyun, Cho Jae-half of the Japanese Shimizu Agitation Team, and Liu Sang-tie who has just returned from Japan League champion Yokohama Marinos.
Also playing overseas, Ahn Jung-hwan was injured in the J League last season and was not selected for the national team. Since the Korean media reported that Ahn Jung-hwan would miss the first game against the Chinese team before the list was announced, this news did not attract much attention from Korean fans.
What aroused the interest of fans is that Liu Xiangti was also transferred from overseas to China, and after being swept out by J League champion Yokohama Marinos, he was still recruited into the national team. However, Song Zhongguo, who transferred from Feyenoord in the Netherlands, was not as lucky as him, and his name was not on the national team list announced by Coach Bonfer.
In fact, the 26-man national team list was not only hurt by Song Jong Kook, but also by the South Korean media, Suwon Samsung team, which was praised as "Real Madrid in South Korea" by South Korea, has not been recognized by Coach Bonfu so far.
In this 26-man Korean team, except for Kim Nam-ichi, who just transferred to Suwon’s midfielder, the only two members of the national Olympic team, the old national goalkeeper Lee Yun Jae, Kim Doo Hyun and Kim Dong-hyun, were in the championship lineup of Suwon Samsung last season.
Obviously, many big names in the Korean "Dream Team" carefully created by former coach Che Fan Geun failed to get into Bonfrere's eyes, including Song Jong Kook, Kim Dayi, Choi Sung-yong, An Xiao-lian and other former Korean internationals. Even Suwon defender Choi Benguo, who went to the United States to train with the South Korean team, was also returned to the club after the training camp.
South Korean coach Bonfrere can actually be so willful! The number of people reported to FIFA in the end is even smaller. It can be said that Korean football talents are in a state of boom.
Of course, there are also many Chinese players, but there are not so many overseas players and are not so famous.
During the three days in South Korea, Alihan has been training in closed areas, and his tactics have always been around Dong Fangzhuo and Li Jinyu.
Although Dong Fangzhuo and his teammates are not familiar with each other, Alihan will never put Dong Fangzhuo on the bench, and there is no suspense in his starting lineup.
What made Dong Fangzhuo feel a pity was that if Zhao Xuri, Feng Xiaoting and Zhou Haibin were brought in advance in such a game, how good would it be if the three of them could come?
During the training, Alihan did not dare to put Chen Tao in the main position. Shao Jiayi was still the core of the offensive organization of the national football team. This cannot be blamed on Alihan, after all, anyone would have done this.
In fact, although young people have great potential at this time, they cannot stand alone. Dong Fangzhuo even hopes to leave the Youth Championship with them at the end of the season.
After three days, the offensive effect was not very good, but it was not very bad. After all, Sun Jihai, Li Tie, and Shao Jiayi were all on the court, so Dong Fangzhuo would still not be lonely.
However, the Chinese national football team still lacks speed. Dong Fangzhuo, who is used to Ronaldo and Rooney, always feels that his offensive rhythm is much faster than his teammates. Although Shao Jiayi and the others are already very good, it is not enough!
He needs faster! Faster offensive speed!
But for the Chinese team, away games against South Korea do not necessarily have to score three points. A draw is acceptable, and failure is the worst result.
Two hours before the game, both sides announced the starting lineup.
The starting lineup of the Chinese team is 442:
Liu Yunfei;
Xu Yunlong, Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng, Yang Pu;
Sun Jihai, Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe, Shao Jiayi;
Li Jinyu, Dong Fangzhuo.
In order to do his best to help Dong Fangzhuo, Sun Jihai was placed in the right forward by Alihan, and behind him was Xu Yunlong, who had strong assisting skills, and the same was true for left back Yang Pu.
This battle is mainly about traveling to Europe!
The starting lineup of the South Korean team is a terrifying 343:
Li Yun is here;
Jin Hanyun, Liu Qinglie, Jin Zhengui;
Kim Dongjin, Kim Jong-woon, Park Ji-sung, Lee Yong-pyo;
Che Duri, Lee Dongguo, Park Joo-yong.
Only Koreans who can't run to death dare to play like this...
Before the game, South Korean midfielder Park Ji-sung attended the press conference with head coach Bon Freyre. He said in front of the media: "The Chinese team is very strong, and the strongest player in the team is Dong Fangzhuo, but I will let him shoot zero in the game! If he is deterred, other Chinese players will not be troubled."
"Park Ji-sung!"
Dong Fangzhuo also recognized this guy with yellow skin and thin and strong figure. It is very likely that he will be a teammate at Manchester United club next season.
But, you want me to shoot zero?
What a joke!
If this guy is guarded tightly, wouldn’t he be laughed to death when he returns to Manchester United? This is impossible.
A few days ago, Dong Fangzhuo had a thorough understanding of Park Ji-sung under the coaching staff and his memories.
This guy who is likely to join Manchester United next season has very distinctive technical characteristics, and Dong Fangzhuo did not dare to underestimate him. After all, Park Ji-sung won the Champions League championship as the main player at Manchester United, and he is nothing.
In Dong Fangzhuo's opinion, in addition to being physically strong and able to run, Park Ji-sung is also a very disciplined, wise and football knowledgeable guy.
But, want me to shoot zero?
This is the past!
