“We are strengthening the attack of the Chinese team that conceded a goal. Both fullbacks are going very high.”

“That’s an immature expression. In the first half, no matter what happens, you have to move as the manager instructed in advance. That is, until the order comes down from the bench to change tactics.”

China deployed all of its players except for two central defenders and one defensive midfielder on offense. The individual abilities of the Chinese players were not bad, so they did not lose the ball easily.

“Cross. Hwang Dong-geun intercepts the ball reliably. He’s tall and jumps well, so there’s almost no need to worry about the ball flying up.”

“The Chinese players are not stepping down. Is this the coach’s intention or the players’ decision?”

Hwang Dong-geun has two weaknesses. One is that his kicks are not accurate. So he prefers to roll the ball to the defender. His short passes are accurate. Another is that he is weak in one-on-ones. It is a lack of experience and psychological problems, so he will have to wait for time to solve them.

Cha Beom-soo caught the ball thrown by Hwang Dong-geun. Two Chinese players rushed at Cha Beom-soo, but Cha Beom-soo safely guarded the ball.

“Cha Beom-soo gives up turning his body due to the strong pressure from his opponent and passes the ball to Park Dong-chun. Park Dong-chun passes the ball to Hwang Dong-geun. Hwang Dong-geun passes the ball back to Jeong Gyeong-su.”

Jeong Kyung-soo passed the ball to Gong Min-hoon. Gong Min-hoon dribbled forward and then passed it back.

“It wasn’t captured on screen, but Cha Beom-soo just gave some instructions.”

Park Jung-hyun is not playing, so the ball cannot be passed forward. We have to push forward step by step, but the resistance from the Chinese players is quite strong. Jeong Gyeong-su and Park Dong-chun have moved the defensive line further back.

It seems that China’s tactic is to put pressure on the area where the ball is by deploying many players. Cha Beom-soo asked the players to use the field widely. Instead of rushing forward, they passed the ball around and exhausted the opponent’s stamina.

All four defenders, Kim Si-woong and Cha Bum-soo, have the ability to hold the ball and pass it reliably. That’s why China’s pressure didn’t last long. In order to continue to apply pressure, the defenders have to raise their line.

The two central defenders of China are tall and good at heading, but they are bound to be slow. After seeing Kim Chul-beom’s speed once, he did not dare to raise the line.

This is the tactic used against Juventus in the Champions League final. At that time, Notts County did not gain much advantage from Juventus. However, if the opponent is a Chinese team, it is obvious that Korea will gain advantage through individual skills in a situation where they spread out together.

“It looked like a lull for a moment, but in reality, Korea has the upper hand. They are now pushing the line and slowly moving up. China doesn’t dare to push the line up, but we have Kim Si-woong.”

Kim Si-woong’s positioning and defensive judgment are at the level of the Premier League. The Chinese team’s No. 11 is said to be fast, but he is not as fast as Juan in dribbling. On the other hand, Kim Chul-beom is also fast when running with the ball. He has only done physical training, positional movement, and running with the ball for almost a year. He has not even started shooting training yet.

Although he didn’t do any shooting training, his ankles have become stronger, so he doesn’t lack ankle strength when shooting in any position. As a result, his shooting accuracy has improved significantly. With his confidence, Kim Chul-beom attempted to shoot even when he saw a small opening.

“It’s a goal. It’s Kim Chul-beom’s second goal. The Chinese team’s goalkeeper Du Lei is yelling at the defender. He definitely opened up the shooting angle too wide.”

The Chinese team’s defense was shaken by Hyun Ki-chul’s dribbling and breakthrough. Gong Min-hoon and Cha Beom-soo joined in, stealing all the attention. Kim Cheol-beom, who took up a position in the arc area where Cha Beom-soo usually sits, broke away from the blocks of two defenders with one touch and shot.

It was a rather slow shot that could have been blocked if the keeper’s judgment had been a little faster. However, Du-Rae was underestimating Kim Chul-Beom. In the league, Du-Rae only focuses when a foreign mercenary gets the ball, and lacks concentration when a Chinese player gets the ball. This is one of the reasons why he pulled out the cards of Kim Chul-Beom and Hyun Ki-Chul.

“Player Durei lacks concentration. Did you think that the first goal was scored because you were unlucky? I hope that from the next game onwards, you will get rid of that pride and approach the game with humility.”

Kim Chul-beom ran to Harvey on the bench. Thanks to Harvey, Kim Chul-beom has made great strides in a year. Being on the national team was like a dream, and the goal he scored in the evaluation match was like a dream. But now he has scored two goals in an official match.

“In the 15th minute of the game, Kim Chul-beom’s goal puts the Korean team ahead 2:0. Thousands of Chinese fans are at the stadium cheering for their team.”

“I feel sorry for the Chinese fans, but Coach Ki is a coach who rarely loses when his starting lineup wins. Statistically, there are only a handful of games where he scored first and then lost.”

“How do you, the semi-expert, expect things to progress going forward?”

“The Korean team is hard to predict. If I were to predict what Coach Ki would do, I’d rather pick the lottery numbers. The Chinese team is obvious. Wang Hui will be moved to the wing and the left winger will become an attacking midfielder. The fast right fullback will move to the center back and form a three-back formation.”

Indeed, the Chinese team switched to a three-back formation. In the past, 4-4-2 was popular. The three-back formation was effective against two attackers. Then, they started to play only one attacker against the three-back formation. Three defenders against one attacker were a waste. In this way, the three-back formation gradually disappeared.

So when Kishin sent out two attackers, the Chinese team’s defense was in shambles. The defense lineup had been prepared for Park Jung-hyun as an attacker, so they had a hard time against two fast players.

“The Korean team’s defense is really great. It’s taken for granted, like making soybean paste with soybeans.”

“Right now, Hyun Ki-cheol and Kim Cheol-beom are positioned on the center line. Kim Cheol-beom is on the left, but slightly toward the center, while Hyun Ki-cheol is completely on the right.”

“It’s a rare sight these days. Even the strongest European teams have their attackers participate in defense during defensive situations.”

“Because the Chinese defenders are weak in attacking ability, it is more stable to deploy two players in defense. Even if those three defenders participate in attack, the Chinese team’s attack will not become much stronger.”

“So what I’m saying is that the two players are there not to check the defenders, but purely for offense. In Coach Kisin’s interview and on the field, they’re showing a very aggressive side.”

“Park Dong-chun heads the ball. Kim Si-woong catches the ball. He easily beats one player and passes to Cha Beom-soo.”

“Kim Si-woong plays a lot of safe-oriented plays. The fact that Kim Si-woong dribbled means that the opposing player’s pressure was poor.”

Cha Beom-soo received the ball from Kim Si-woong and immediately poked it forward. When you hit the bottom of the ball when you play billiards, you get backspin. Cha Beom-soo’s pass also had backspin. It’s a pass that requires strong hip and ankle strength.

Doo-Rae, who was running forward to kick the ball, slipped on the grass and fell. He was running fast and his foot slipped as he tried to stop suddenly. Cha Beom-Su’s pass bounced on the grass and slowed down slightly. So it didn’t go as Doo-Rae expected.

“The ball goes into the empty goal. It’s so easy that I’m a bit taken aback. I’m happy, but it’s such a subtle feeling that I can’t openly enjoy it because it’s so obvious.”

“Player Du Lei is a player who is praised by the Chinese media as being at a level where he can be a regular in a big European league. In fact, he has signed a contract with Notts County. If you only look at his physical condition, there is no player in Asia who can compare to him.”

“Sometimes we make stupid mistakes like this. We’ve only conceded 17 goals in 22 games this season. The data is definitely good. The level of the Chinese league is not low.”

“Well, today I really saw the sky outside the well. Come to think of it, there are a lot of players from Notts County. There are six on the Korean team and two from China.”

As they continued to concede goals, the Chinese players became clearly impatient. Cha Beom-soo gave instructions to the entire team. When attacking, the defense line was pulled up to the center line, and when defending, Kim Cheol-beom and Hyun Ki-cheol came down to the center line.

When they got the ball, Cha Beom-soo and Kim Si-woong took on the role of delivery in the middle. They sent the ball from the left to the right and the ball from the right to the left. They drove the Chinese players forward and backward and left and right, exhausting their stamina.

It is said that when you boil water slowly, frogs stay still. They adapt to the temperature and do not know that it is hot, and they do not run away until they are boiled. China also did not detect Cha Beom-su’s trick and ran hard for defense or offense.

“Hyun Ki-cheol gets the ball. It’s a perfect counterattack opportunity. Kim Cheol-beom is too fast. He’s offside now. He needs to slow down.”

“Hyun Ki-cheol passes the ball between two defenders. He doesn’t run. The two defenders try to close the door but collide with each other. Hyun Ki-cheol runs.”

Hyun Ki-chul did not run after passing the ball between two defenders. The two defenders moved quickly to block Hyun Ki-chul’s path and collided with each other. The collision caused him to miss the opportunity to accelerate.

“Hyun Ki-cheol lifts his head and checks Kim Chul-beom’s position. Kim Chul-beom has one defender pinned down. Hyun Ki-cheol’s pass is fake. Referee, referee.”

Du-Rae lost his balance after being fooled by Hyun Ki-Chul’s fake pass. He kicked Hyun Ki-Chul’s ankle as he tried to break through with a dribble, causing him to fall.

“A penalty kick, and a yellow card. It’s a foul enough to warrant a red card.”

“Yes. And now, please check the positions of the players. The Korean team has already added four players to the attack. However, the Chinese team only has two players running to defend, excluding the three defenders.”

“Your stamina has already declined. There are many nutritious foods in Korea, but I guess you neglected to eat them while shopping.”

Some Chinese players were arguing with the referee. It’s a habit of Chinese players. They don’t care about objective things, and even from the Chinese team’s perspective, it’s a penalty kick. And since they’ve already given a yellow card, I don’t understand why they’re arguing so much.

“The kicker is Cha Beom-soo. He is a reliable player.”

“He is a player coveted by Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. It wasn’t just media reports, the managers of the teams actually expressed interest in him in interviews.”

“It’s a bit disappointing that Manchester City and PSG are out.”

“Those two teams don’t necessarily need to show interest in advance. If they really want to transfer him, they’ll pay for it.”

Cha Beom-soo kicked a slow ball into the middle. He once again tore at Du-Ray’s already tattered mentality. The goalkeeper got up from the Chinese team’s bench and did some warm-up exercises. Du-Ray, who understood the coach’s warning, calmed down and pretended to be calm.

“The score of 4-0 in the first half is amazing. And here’s another piece of good news. In the match between Syria and Qatar, which ended less than ten minutes ago, Syria scored in the 89th minute to win 1-0 at home.”

Syria’s home is the Philippines. We don’t know where our next home will be. So we don’t get much support from our home fans. Even including our families, it’s hard to get more than a hundred people. In such a situation, we surprisingly beat Qatar.
