Football: Starting from the Ronaldinho template

Chapter 274 The first Round of 12 match against South Korea in 15 years! Military training for the South Korean defense! A carefree and elegant display!

(Chinese national football team content)
《懂球帝》：阿森纳客场2-0莱斯特城，继续领跑英超积分榜！同时，切尔西3-0伯恩利、曼联1-0赫尔城、曼城3-1西汉姆联、利物浦1-1热刺，其中多支球队同分，但阿森纳凭借八个净胜球遥遥领先！

[It's true that signing players makes a difference compared to not signing any. I remember at the beginning of last season, Arsenal seemed to be playing mostly low-scoring games.]
-
The other teams also fared quite well, except for Liverpool, who drew with Tottenham.
-
[Argentina's national team changes coaches: Martino resigns, Bauza takes over, and Messi returns.]
-
Are you kidding me?
-
[The Olympics ended a week ago, and Neymar led Brazil to victory. Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to see that moment.]
-
We can't exactly send Qin Ming to play in the Olympics, can we?
-
[Let's secure a spot in the World Cup finals first. That's much more useful than the Olympics. Otherwise, if we keep getting eliminated, who's going to watch football anymore?]
-
[Two matches in September: first away against South Korea, then home against Iran. Aiming for four points!]
-
[Forget four points, we'll take all six!]
-
In the last ten days, there have been three matches between China and South Korea. In the two AFC Champions League matches, we have one draw and one win. We hope to overcome South Korea in this match.
-
We still have a good chance. Key players for the South Korean team, such as Ki Sung-yueng and Koo Ja-cheol, who play in Europe, haven't yet reached their peak form, while Son Heung-min and Jang Hyun-soo just finished a packed Olympic schedule in August.
-
Just do it!

【.】

After landing, Qin Ming glanced at his phone and found that everyone was quite enthusiastic.

"I'm coming!"

The arrival hall at Taoxian Airport was packed to capacity, with hundreds of fans in red jerseys shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Welcome, Shenyang fans!"

"."

Shenyang is a city with a rich football heritage.

The glory of Liaoning FC's ten consecutive championships is still vivid in our minds. Later, when Liaoning Hongyun FC was relegated and disbanded, it broke the hearts of many old fans.

In the sport of football, each city carries its own unique stories and memories, such as Istanbul, Barcelona, ​​and London abroad.

The same is true for Shenyang in China.

In 2001, the Chinese national football team defeated Oman 1-0 here, finally breaking out of Asia after many trials and tribulations. Wulihe and the entire city of Shenyang became a sea of ​​joy.

It has also nurtured many football talents.

Zheng Zhi, Li Jinyu, Qu Shengqing, Zhao Junzhe, and others.

Qin Ming looked up at the enthusiastic fans.

The happiness and pride radiating from their faces seemed to brighten up the gloomy sky.

The support of fans is the greatest asset of a team and its players.

Qin Ming now understands this statement quite well: no matter where he appears, there are always people supporting him.

This feels really good.

"Everyone should go home and rest early tonight, as we're going to South Korea to watch a game the day after tomorrow."

Qin Ming did not obstruct traffic, waved to the fans, and then got into the van parked by the roadside.

I envy you!

As soon as he entered, he heard people talking. Qin Ming looked up and saw a big guy.

How are you doing in the Dutch league?

After fastening his seatbelt, Qin Ming looked at Zhang Yuning and asked.

"Not bad, I came on as a substitute in all three league games. We won two and lost one. Next round we're playing Utrecht, I'll try to score a goal!"

Zhang Yuning shows off his biceps.

"Teng Hach is still in Utrecht, and I haven't been paying attention to him lately."

Qin Ming chuckled.

"I heard I was going to coach Ajax, but I don't know why I got stood up. Maybe it has something to do with you."

Zhang Yuning couldn't hide his envy as he spoke.

He transferred from the Chinese Super League to the Dutch Eredivisie last season and was promoted to the first team in February this year. In May, he also started in the Dutch U19 Cup and helped Vitesse U19 win the title for the first time in history.

It looks pretty good.

But compared to Qin Ming, they are worlds apart.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Qin Ming shrugged and changed the subject, "Weren't we the last two to arrive?"

"No, Lei and Zhe's flight was at night. The Bundesliga started late this year, and they just finished the first round of matches yesterday."

Zhang Yuning answered.

"Let me see."

Qin Ming has been busy with interviews and playing football lately, so he really hasn't had time to pay attention to his teammates.

Augsburg 0-2 Wolfsburg, Mainz 1-2 Dortmund, both players came on as substitutes but failed to score.

In fact, it is normal.

The path for Chinese players to play abroad is fraught with difficulties; not everyone can be like them.

"Let's improve slowly." Qin Ming thought to himself, feeling a little sleepy, and leaned back in his seat, dozing off.

Zhang Yuning signaled to the driver to drive steadily.

Upon arriving at the training base, Qin Ming was woken up by Zhang Yuning and stretched comfortably.

International flights are just too tiring.

Moreover, there are no direct flights from London to Shenyang; he first went to the capital and then transferred to Shenyang.

It took almost 14 hours in total.

I had to struggle with jet lag and stayed up all night, so I was exhausted as soon as I landed.

I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight.

"Qin Ming and Yu Ning are here!"

Zheng Zhi and the others at the base were having dinner. When they saw the two, they put down their chopsticks and came over to pinch and squeeze them.

"I watched the Champions League group stage draw. Qin Ming, you've really made something of yourself, managing to beat Griezmann. Aim for the best player award next year!"

Gao Lin said that he had the best relationship with Qin Ming.

"Small idea."

Qin Ming waved his hand casually.

"Bring the trophy back and show it to us!" Zheng Zhi laughed heartily and patted Qin Ming on the shoulder.

The group chatted casually, as if they knew each other well.

Qin Ming hadn't eaten dinner either, but after looking at the Chinese healthy meals, he actually found himself quite hungry.

I guess I get tired of eating foreign food every day.

"How are we going this year? Last time we went to Saudi Arabia for an away game, I had a really tough time in economy class."

Qin Ming asked casually.

Actually, it doesn't take long to get from Shenyang to Seoul, at most two hours.

He was just starting a conversation.

"Don't worry, we'll charter flights for all five away games, plus a win bonus!"

Zheng Zhi kept everyone in suspense.

He then held up his thumb and little finger, saying, "A win in a single match in the top 12 will earn a reward of 300 million; qualifying for the World Cup will also earn this amount."

"That's awesome?"

Qin Ming asked in surprise.

However, he then thought that the domestic football market was booming, and the profits from qualifying for the World Cup could be many times 60 million.

Moreover, a generous reward will surely attract brave men.

If, as some netizens have suggested, these top Chinese players are given ordinary salaries, will anyone still want to play?

"If we can qualify for the World Cup, with the sponsors and FIFA prize money, I believe we won't disappoint everyone."

Perrin walked over and continued, "Our goal is to beat South Korea and get off to a winning start in the final round of World Cup qualifiers."

During his years coaching the national football team, his Chinese has become increasingly fluent.

In addition, his translator was from Northeast China.

So he always spoke with a slight accent, which made Qin Ming chuckle to himself.

"Everyone says we have a fear of South Korea, so let's beat them on our home turf this time!"

Zheng Zhi slammed his fist on the table.

"Fight!" Qin Ming raised his fist.

Because the players who had been playing abroad returned too late, they didn't have much time to train together.

Fortunately, the overall quality of the Chinese national football team has improved considerably.

The reason why Perrin is suitable for the Chinese national team is because he has experience coaching small clubs and knows how to gradually build a foundation.

8 month 30 day.

They completed their final training session in Shenyang, then boarded a chartered plane to Seoul wearing custom-made suits from their sponsor, Zegna.

After the national team's chartered plane arrived at Seoul Airport, the staff stayed at the airport to wait for the checked luggage, while Qin Ming and others only carried their own small bags to their hotel.

Because the special plane also used a separate passage after arriving.

Therefore, the national team notified the media and fans in advance not to greet them, but to go directly to the hotel where the national team was staying and wait.

After signing autographs, taking photos, and other tasks were completed, Qin Ming lay down on the soft, comfortable bed.

"It is reported that 30,000 Chinese fans are expected to travel to Seoul, South Korea, and the number of Chinese fans may exceed that of the South Korean fans playing at home!"

"At the same time, China will send more than 60 football professionals, the lowest of whom will be club managers, to watch the match between China and South Korea and visit Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in South Korea to learn about its youth training system."

"With the deepening of football reform."

Qin Ming casually clicked on a report and thought of the Asian Cup in January 2015, where they achieved good results.

From that moment on, everything changed.

September in Seoul is hot, with the highest temperature reaching 27°C. The Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu is packed with people.

Because South Korea is not far from China, many Chinese fans fly over.

After all, it's a clash of titans in the final round of 12.

"It has been five months since the national football team's last match. We can see a large number of Chinese fans at the stadium, gathered together waiting for the stadium to open for entry."

CCTV reporters are broadcasting live from the scene.

He then approached several fans and invited them to be interviewed.

"Where did you come from?"

"We are local international students. The new semester has just started, and we came to watch a game to support our team!"

Do you think we have a chance to qualify for the World Cup?

"Of course we're confident. We beat South Korea in the Asian Cup, and our overall strength has improved. There's no reason for us to lose to them! I think among this group, we, Iran, and South Korea, are the strongest!"

"Is there anything you'd like to say to the national football team players?"

"We're all Chinese men, let's crush the Korean bastards! We have to win this away game and show them we're not pushovers!"

"."

The young people on camera were full of enthusiasm.

The match is about to begin at 8 PM local time, which is 7 PM in China.

In the players' tunnel.

Qin Ming greeted Son Heung-min, but ignored the others.

However, his teammates were quite familiar with the opposing team, as several players on the South Korean team played for clubs in the Chinese Super League.

The South Korean players' attention was entirely focused on Qin Ming.

why?
Because he has been enjoying immense popularity lately.

At the UEFA awards ceremony, he ranked second as the best player among Asian players.

Moreover, he scored five goals in three rounds of the Premier League, ranking first in the top scorer list.

This momentum is too strong.

Nobody talks about who the flag bearer of Asian players is anymore.

Everyone knows this perfectly well.

Play the national anthem of the Republic of Korea.

Once both teams were in position, the South Korean national anthem played at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

South Korean fans waved the Taegeukgi (South Korean flag) and sang along loudly.

They came to the scene with only one purpose: revenge.

Losing to China in the 2015 Asian Cup was a thorn in their side, but now, two years later, they are finally able to meet again.

They didn't concede a single goal in the World Cup qualifiers.

This inflated the confidence of South Korean fans, who felt that beating the Chinese team on home soil was a piece of cake.

Moreover, in a pre-match interview, their head coach Uli Stielike stated that the team was fully prepared and guaranteed to take all three points decisively at home.

After the South Korean national anthem finished playing, an even louder sound rang out inside the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Although not all of the more than 30,000 Chinese fans were able to come in, 15,000 fans bought away tickets. Including tourists and South Korean students, both stands were almost full.

According to AFC regulations, at least 5% of the tickets must be provided to the away team. The Seoul World Cup Stadium can accommodate 66,000 spectators, which means that South Korea must provide at least 3300 tickets.

However, China initially requested that South Korea provide 5 tickets.

This will certainly not be agreed to.

However, South Korea is considering the 50,000 Chinese students studying in South Korea and the more than 100,000 Chinese workers in South Korea. If Chinese fans are not given enough tickets, they may go to the home stands.

Will there be any problems then?

In an effort to curb the enthusiasm of Chinese fans, South Korea prepared 20,000 red T-shirts, which were distributed free of charge to South Korean fans in attendance.

"stand up--"

The Seoul World Cup Stadium was filled with rousing melodies and resounding vocals.

Qin Ming clutched his chest and raised his head, still feeling his blood boil even after experiencing it many times.

"We can only win today, we can't afford to lose!"

"Come on, Team China!"

After the national anthem was sung, Zheng Zhi extended his right hand.

Everyone placed their hands on top of each other and waved them upwards forcefully.

"come on, come on, come on!"

Inside the broadcast room.

“根据国际足联提供的数据，中国国家队在国际A级比赛中与韩国国家队共交手32场，国足的战绩为3胜11平18负进25球失45球。”

"The last time the two sides met was in the East Asian Cup last year, when the Chinese national team lost 0-2 to South Korea."

"Looking at the data alone, the Chinese team is completely at a disadvantage. In 32 matches against South Korea, the Chinese team's winning percentage is only 6.25%."

"But in the knockout stage of the Asian Cup in Australia, we used our victory to shed the 'fear of South Korea' label and ultimately achieved a commendable third place."

"I hope the young men of the national football team will continue to work hard and make a good start to the World Cup qualifiers, which have been held for the first time in 15 years."

He Wei explained.

Then, after the players from both teams took their positions, he announced the starting lineups for both sides.

"Today, the South Korean team has chosen a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jung Sung-ryong as the goalkeeper!"

"Defenders: Jang Soo-hyun, Kim Ki-hee, Hong Jeong-ho, Oh Jae-seok!"

Midfielders: Ki Sung-yueng, Han Kuo-young!

Midfielders: Lee Chung-yong, Koo Ja-cheol, Son Heung-min!

Forward: Ji Dong-won!

"Of the 21 players announced by the South Korean national team, 7 are from European leagues, 11 are from Asian leagues such as the Chinese Super League and the J-League, and only 3 are from the domestic K-League."

"This is probably the first time in the history of the South Korean national team's participation in major competitions. The issue of coordination and understanding between players from different leagues and clubs may affect the South Korean team's performance."

"Let's take a look at China's starting lineup. Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng!"

"Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Li Xuepeng, Ren Hang!"

Midfielders: Zhang Xizhe, Zheng Zhi, Yu Hai, Hao Junmin!

Forwards: Zhang Yuning, Qin Ming!

“之前国足主教练佩兰的首选基本上是4-2-3-1，但今天他变阵成了4-4-2的阵型，这套阵型的最大特点就是攻守均衡、变种丰富。”

"Qin Ming was also placed at the front, partnering with Zhang Yuning as a two-striker formation."

"This is a major change for the national football team. I wonder what kind of effect it will have?"

He Wei was still quite worried.

Today marks the first time in 15 years that the Chinese national football team is playing in the final round of World Cup qualifiers, and their opponent is still South Korea. The significance of this is self-evident.

Changing formation at this point might not be a good option.

The camera focused on Perrin on the sidelines, his arms crossed and his expression calm.

The decision to switch to a 4-4-2 formation was made after much deliberation.

Because after the quality of Chinese football players has improved, there is no need to define strict positions anymore, that is, to further subdivide them.

It can give players more freedom.

He had his own reasons for placing Qin Ming at the front.

Intensify the attack.

The Chinese national football team is not Arsenal. In the center forward position, there are players like Morata and Giroud, and Zhang Yuning's level is still not good enough.

This makes it difficult to put pressure on the South Korean team's defense.

This will put a lot of pressure on the midfield, which may affect the overall defense.

But adding Qin Ming changes everything. His physical strength honed in the Premier League, coupled with his exceptional dribbling skills, can keep the South Korean defense on edge for a full ninety minutes.

the other side.

Uli Stielike, who spent seven years with the German national team, frowned.

He guessed what Perrin was thinking.

The key issue is that even Premier League defenders couldn't stop Qin Ming. He doesn't know how to rely on Kim Ki-hee, Hong Jeong-ho, and others.
After much thought, I realized I could only imitate Atlético Madrid.

Beep! ! !
With the referee's whistle, the game began.

South Korea has possession of the ball.

Ji Dong-won kicked off and passed the ball across to Son Heung-min, who then passed it back to Oh Jae-seok.

South Korea's main attack still revolves around the left flank.

Last season, Son Heung-min made 28 appearances for Tottenham, scoring 6 goals and providing 4 assists.

Total goals created have exceeded ten.

That's a pretty good statistic, and he himself is very competitive, maintaining his hard work in the Bundesliga.

They don't even look for their favorite girl groups anymore.

why?
Because there was a figure in front of him that was almost invisible.

"Get into the right mindset first, don't rush to take the lead!"

Qin Ming gestured to his teammates not to rush.

Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Linpeng, and others in their team didn't have much time to gel because they returned from abroad very late.

Then the only way to find your form is during the game.

The South Korean team isn't doing much better; they only finished the Olympics two weeks ago.

The first ten minutes of the match were not very intense.

"Zhang, that's enough, move forward!"

Perrin gave instructions.

The Chinese players also started moving, intensifying their pressing in the midfield and attacking third.

"Wu Jae-suk, who plays for Gamba Osaka, was running down the wing and was trying to find Son Heung-min after hitting a wall with Han Kuo-young. Zhang Linpeng was a bit too eager to tackle him!"

"Pretty!"

"Zheng Zhi made a timely defensive cover, clearing the ball out of bounds!"

At the Seoul World Cup Stadium, the cheers of both sets of fans merged, making the scene incredibly noisy.

"Watch out, he might cut inside!"

Perrin pointed at Son Heung-min and shouted, which finally made Zhang Linpeng hear her.

The South Korean team threw the ball out of bounds. Although Zhang Xizhe's defense was average, he cooperated with Zheng Zhi, Zhang Linpeng, and others to win the ball back.

"Give it to Qin Ming!"

Without Zheng Zhi's prompting, Zhang Xizhe kicked out a diagonal pass.

Bang! Qin Ming easily held off Ki Sung-yueng. The defensive midfielder who plays for Swansea is not good at physical confrontation and needs to be paired with a sweeping partner to be effective.

"careful!"

Zhang Yuning saw Han Guorong rushing towards him and quickly reminded him.

Qin Ming also spotted Han Guorong, a defensive midfielder similar to Kanté.

Therefore, after controlling the ball with his chest, he quickly flicked it upwards with his right foot.

Snapped!
The football seemed to transform into a dazzling rainbow, passing over Han Guorong's head.

Qin Ming then calmly followed up to receive the ball.

More than 20,000 Chinese fans erupted in cheers, as if this were their home stadium.

"A brilliant display of individual ability!"

"In terms of utilizing three-dimensional space, probably no active player can surpass Qin Ming!"

"If there's space, just attack!"

"Oh! That shot was a little off, Jung Sung-ryong saved it and it went out of bounds!"

Qin Ming spat out a mouthful of saliva, not feeling too much regret, and directed his teammates to press forward, preparing for a corner kick attack.

After Zhang Xizhe kicked the ball out.

Hong Jeong-ho won the first ball. His Bundesliga stats are impressive, with a success rate of over 75% in aerial duels, making him a set-piece killer for the team.

But like most center backs, their turning and chasing speed is too slow.

"The Korean team has done a good job protecting the second point. Han Guorong passed the ball to the wing. Is Son Heung-min about to accelerate?"

"Zhang Linpeng, put down the shovel!"

"That foot shovel was beautiful, decisive yet precise!"

He Wei perked up.

Qin Ming and his teammates also gave a thumbs up, proving that no matter how bad the Dutch league is, it is still better than the Chinese Super League.

Zhang Linpeng's ability to secure a starting position naturally demonstrates his considerable skill.

It is said that during this summer transfer window, some Premier League teams have already made offers, but they cannot guarantee playing time.

Zhang Linpeng therefore decided to stay for another year.

The situation on the field quickly turned around, with Hao Junmin and Qin Ming combining on the wing to steadily suppress the South Korean team.

"Qin Ming, there are two people following you. Can you move to the middle?"

After yet another unsuccessful attack, Hao Junmin frowned and asked.

"I have a solution!"

Qin Ming replied simply, with only a few words, yet they filled one with confidence.

At least that's what Hao Junmin thinks.

Since Qin Ming believed he could do it, all he had to do was trust him completely.

When the ball was thrown out of bounds to Yu Hai, who then passed it to Hao Junmin, the Chinese team advanced a few meters.

No space!

Qin Ming could even feel Zhang Xiuxian and Jin Jixi breathing behind him.

One of these two excels at direct confrontation, while the other excels at filling in gaps in the defense.

It's a perfect match.

South Korean fans have a lot of confidence in them.

"Give me the ball!"

Qin Ming didn't even look up.

Snapped!
Without hesitation, Hao Junmin delivered a ground ball.

The football rolled on the grass, seemingly unremarkable, but the next second it was as if it had been enchanted.

Gently stop the ball with one foot!

That exquisite rhythm tore through the space and also got rid of the South Korean full-back.

Guangzhou R&F's full-back Zhang Xiuxian looked completely bewildered.

He was just about to make a close challenge when the ball went straight past him?

In his panic, he tried to reach out and intercept, but the unreachable distance forced him to appear disheveled.

Bright yellow jerseys fluttered in the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

That figure was etched into the eyes of 60,000 fans, leaving them speechless with disbelief.

In a flash.

Kim Ki-hee, known for his anticipation and positioning, attempted to steal the ball.

Can't do it.

The football's trajectory was unpredictable, making it just as unattainable for him.

What kind of ball control technique is this?
Stielike held his head in his hands, as if the air itself had thinned.

Perrin raised his hands.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Ming completed his turn.

Those hawk-like eyes looked at Zheng Chenglong.

Bang! A dull thud rang out as the ball left Qin Ming's instep!
This shot broke the Premier League's all-time goal record!
Even with his goalkeeper stretched to the limit, Suwon Samsung Bluewings' goalkeeper couldn't touch it at all.

0-1! ! !

The Seoul World Cup Stadium, when viewed from the sky, looks like a kite floating in the air.

At the center of attention, where the eyes of 60,000 fans were focused.

Qin Ming surveyed the stadium expressionlessly, as if scrutinizing his own people.

Dominate the world!

"Beautiful! A perfect display of individual skill, turning ball control into an art form!"

"With a seemingly simple touch, he broke through the defenses of Jang Hyun-soo and Kim Ki-hee, causing the South Korean defense to collapse in an instant!"

"This is South Korea's nemesis!"

"In the 31th minute of the match, the Chinese team took the lead!"

He Wei gave a passionate explanation.

On the field, Qin Ming was surrounded by his teammates, and Zheng Zhi said with a smile, "Why does this feel more relaxed than the Asian Cup?"

"We've made progress!"

Qin Ming's raised eyebrows were sharp, just like the confidence in his heart.

"That's true!"

Zheng Zhi said this, but what he really thought was, "We old guys haven't made any progress. It's mainly the young guys who have improved. As for Qin Ming, it's less about progress and more about him taking off like a rocket."

The gap is widening.

“Their defense couldn’t stop me, so Ki Sung-yueng had to retreat and try to get inside whenever he had the chance.”

Qin Ming looked at Hao Junmin and said.

not far away.

Son Heung-min stood with his hands on his hips, his eyes filled with helplessness.

If they keep playing like this, they'll definitely lose at home. They need to really attack.

"We'll switch positions later and advance from the middle!"

Koo Ja-cheol calmly analyzed the situation.

After the first thirty minutes of the game, he noticed that Zheng Zhi was running less.

This is the opportunity!
"Yes!" Son Heung-min nodded.

The game starts again.

"Bang bang bang bang! Go China!"

"Bang bang bang bang! China will win!"

The Chinese fans in the stands cheered in unison to the beat of the drums, treating the away game like a home game.

"Perrin didn't choose a diamond formation; instead, the midfielders used a parallel formation!"

"This greatly reduces the defensive pressure on Zheng Zhi and others!"

"The distance between the defensive line and the midfield line is also shorter, but this could be exploited by the South Korean captain's long pass—"

He Wei hadn't finished speaking.

Ki Sung-yueng leaned his body and delivered a precise long pass.

As the Korean version of Pirlo, his long pass success rate is as high as 85%, making him the metronome of the Korean team.

Li Qinglong stopped and started.

His ball control is superb; his dribbling past Messi in the 2010 World Cup became a memorable moment chosen by South Korean fans.

"Here! Here!"

Son Heung-min suddenly moved sideways and came behind Zheng Zhi.

Li Qinglong dribbled past Li Xuepeng and then passed the ball.

Bang! Son Heung-min also seized the opportunity, and before Feng Xiaoting could block, he lobbed the ball towards the upper right corner.

"Ha! Son Heung-min's accuracy needs improvement. Has he not shot in a while? Is his touch getting cold?"

"Could it be that he's under a lot of pressure?"

"His career trajectory is almost identical to Qin Ming's, both moving from mid-to-upper-tier Bundesliga teams to top Premier League clubs, but the gap between them is widening at an extremely rapid pace!"

Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Son Heung-min angrily shook his hand, showing an indescribable irritation.

"Calm down, there's still time," Koo Ja-cheol comforted him.

He also came from being a youth player, and he knows just how much torment a goal that seems unattainable can bring.

But no one can help with this kind of thing.

"Hoo!" Son Heung-min took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his irritation.

However, once the game resumed, Qin Ming gave the South Korean team's defenders a taste of their own medicine.

First, he moved his starting foot in front of the ball, then deliberately exposed his follow-up foot to Zhang Xiuxian, luring Zhang Xiuxian to tackle.

In reality, it's a deception to directly initiate a move past the opponent.

If Kim Ki-hee hadn't paid the price with a yellow card, the score would probably have been rewritten again.

The 42th minute of the game.

Qin Ming grabbed Jin Jixi and lowered his shoulder, shifting his center of gravity and instantly changing direction to get past him.

Individual abilities were showcased to the fullest.

"Let's kick from this spot!"

"Oh dear, it hit the underside of the crossbar. The referee has ruled it out!"

"The South Korean team escaped a disaster!"

Qin Ming ran his hands through his hair and lifted his shirt to wipe his face.

Pity.

His shot was aimed at the corner of the goal, but unfortunately, he didn't make the right contact with the ball.

My condition is still not at its best.

Zhang Xiuxian and Jin Jixi held their knees, their chests heaving violently like bellows.

"The pressure is too much!"

They both saw the obvious exhaustion on each other's faces.

"Small tricks won't work. Look at me here."

Kim Ki-hee's right rib area was exposed, revealing a patch of bluish-purple skin.

Before the match, he even consulted Kim Young-kwon on how to avoid Qin Ming's elbow strikes.

Kim Young-gwon could only say that he would reduce confrontation.

But without physical contact, Qin Ming is an absolute goal-scoring machine. His volley and chip shots are enough to drive goalkeepers around the world crazy.

"Should we give him a really tough one later?!"

Zhang Xiuxian gritted her teeth and said.

“I already have a yellow card.” Kim Ki-hee remembered the scene with Rüdiger and didn’t want to have his ribs broken as well.

Zhang Xiuxian thought to himself that he was a good-for-nothing.

He's still playing in the Chinese Super League; if he injures Qin Ming...

Needless to say, he'll be heavily criticized. If the club is ruthless and benches him, he'll waste several years of his professional career.

"First half ends! China 1-0 South Korea!"

"Both teams have improved since the 2015 Asian Cup, but judging from today's situation, we have improved more!"

"It's not just Qin Ming, but also Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Xizhe, and other players who have played abroad; their skill level has improved noticeably!"

"And the progress of each individual, when combined, can become a wide river!"

"I believe we can take three points away from the Seoul World Cup Stadium!"

"Let 'Koreaphobia' and the fear of Korea become history!"

He Wei habitually throws in a couple of sentimental lines.

Dongqiudi: In the first round of the Asian Qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, China faced South Korea. At halftime, Qin Ming scored the only goal!
[The South Korean team didn't play to their expected level. How could they have been so strong in the World Cup qualifiers?]
-
Qin Ming dominated the entire South Korean defense.
-
Ki Sung-yueng was forced to drop back to defend, and he is the metronome of the South Korean team; without him, the South Korean team cannot create any threatening attacks.
-
Qin Ming's goal was absolutely beautiful, it had that Bergkamp feel to it!
-
It looks very difficult, but it's actually not easy. You not only need to have a good feel for the ball, but you also need to analyze the opponent's positioning. I certainly couldn't do that.
-
Perrin is quite capable.
-
[I think the professor could learn from this; Morata and Giroud are both better than Zhang Yuning.]
-
Arsenal still relies more on Qin Ming's passing, movement, organization, and attacking play.
-
Indeed, the Premier League places high demands on midfielders. Players like Kanté and Coquelin have limited impact on the attack, which is why Qin Ming is needed to connect the midfield and the forward line.
