Success in qualifying for the World Cup finals

I didn’t know, but in China, firecrackers are only allowed during the Lunar New Year and cannot be set off in the city. Of course, in small cities, law enforcement is not very good, but in big cities, it is very difficult. It is said that in the past, there was a property damage of 5 billion yuan, or almost 1 trillion won in Korean currency, due to firecrackers. The building of CCTV, the Chinese state-run broadcasting station, was burned down.

The Chinese police tracked down the criminal using the license plate number on the traffic camera and arrested him. It is not certain because the dialect is mixed in, but they say he was detained for about 8 days. I thought they would let him off easy because he was a soccer fan, but they were surprisingly strict about it.

The Chinese military or police hate football games. When there is a football game, they are forced to mobilize and maintain order. They have to face the fans with their backs to the field during the game. They even stand in a wall between the home and away fans.

When fans from both sides fight, they throw water bottles at each other, and sometimes get hit. However, if you hit a fan too much, you should be punished.

This is a military story, and the police have to suffer by waiting outside the stadium until late. Unlike the military, which withdraws after the game, the police have to rush to the stadium immediately when there is a fight between home and away fans. After the game, the home fans are sent out first and away fans are sent out later.

After the game, away fans are allowed to leave after about 40 minutes after the home fans are first let out. The police wait until they are safely gone before returning home. They usually have to work until after 10 p.m.

That’s why they hate violent fans. Anyone who sets off firecrackers gets fined and locked up for a few days. Most police officers hate football. They are the ones who are the happiest when a team gets relegated. When a team gets relegated, the number of spectators who go to the game is cut in half, so it’s easier.

Kishin, who did not know about these circumstances, was impressed by the strict execution of official duties by the Chinese police. And he brought that impression to the evening stadium. He demanded that the players strictly follow the coach’s instructions and attack after attack.

China’s new coach is Portugal. He played against Korea in the 2002 World Cup. China is currently in third place with 5 points. Their strategy is to draw with Korea and Qatar and win against Syria and Hong Kong.

China, which used a 5-4-1 formation, focused on defense. With tall defenders who were good at heading and many players crowded in front of the goal, the attacks on both sides were ineffective. Park Jung-hyun failed to gain control of the air, and low crosses were often kicked away by the Chinese players.

Kishin roughly predicted this situation. The new manager took office in February. And this is the first game with the Chinese team. He probably won’t be able to distinguish the faces of his own team’s players yet. Since the opponent is a Korean team, he has no choice but to be conservative.

Kishin ordered the attack to be stronger. Kim Si-woong and Gil Seo-jun defended near the center line, while Park Dong-chun moved up as a defensive midfielder. Cha Beom-soo also moved around the arc area and directed the team’s attack.

Hyun Ki-chul beat three Chinese players in a row on the right. As he entered the penalty area, the Chinese players’ defense became more cautious. Hyun Ki-chul remembered Cha Beom-soo’s instructions.

‘Cross always at waist height, inducing handling fouls.’

If you cross the ball from waist to chest height, it is perfect for inducing a foul. Sometimes, your hand will go out automatically to the ball that is difficult to touch with your foot or head. That is why it is difficult for the defender. While the attacker only needs to be focused for a moment, the defender must maintain focus at all times.

The ball hit the arm of a Chinese defender. Hyun Ki-chul raised his hand and appealed to the referee even though he knew it was not a foul. When he was carrying his hands behind his back and the ball grazed his arm, it was not often called a foul when he was hit by the ball at close range without being able to avoid it.

When Hyun Ki-chul raised his hand, the Chinese defender got angry. He raised both arms high and protested to the referee. As a result, the concentration of the Chinese players slightly decreased. In particular, the concentration of goalkeeper Du Lei was broken.

“Defense, defense.”

Wang Hui shouted, but it was too late. Park Jeong-hyeon pushed Hyun Ki-chul’s ball to Cha Beom-soo. Cha Beom-soo slowly exhaled and kicked the ball with the inside of his foot, drawing a line. There were many players standing in front, so he tried a banana kick.

The trajectory of the ball was good, but Cha Beom-soo was too conscious of his breathing, so the ball did not gain speed. If Du-ray had not lost his concentration, he would have blocked it without difficulty. However, Du-ray briefly looked at the referee due to Hyun Ki-chul and the defender’s appeal. He quickly regained his concentration on Cha Beom-soo’s shot, but his reaction was late.

The new coach of the Chinese team called Wang Hui and told him to continue to defend. Wang Hui went back and relayed the coach’s instructions to the players. However, the coach and Wang Hui lacked authority.

Wang Hui does not drink or smoke. And he does not eat outside food much. He does not train as much as he used to, but he takes care of himself in his own way. That is why he did not get along well with other players. The players listened to veteran players’ words more than the words of Wang Hui, the captain.

The veteran player decided to deploy only one more player for the counterattack. In the first half, the coach instructed only two players to deploy for the counterattack and the remaining players to hold their positions and slowly move up the line. In simple terms, in a counterattack situation, only two players can ignore their positions and run forward as they please. The remaining players should maintain the formation and move together.

In a counterattack situation, when three players quickly ran forward, the coach became furious and spat at the interpreter. The interpreter shouted at the players, but there was no echo. If it were a miracle, he would have changed the players. However, the Portuguese coach could not do the strange thing of changing the players from the first half.

You may wonder what the difference is between defending with eight and defending with seven, but there is a big difference. You need two defenders to defend Park Jung-hyun. It is not an absolute right to provide, but if you defend Park Jung-hyun, who has a skill value of 60, by yourself, you will eventually fail.

When Hyun Ki-cheol gets the ball, cooperative defense is essential. One player cannot block Hyun Ki-cheol’s breakthrough. Then, there are three defenders left. There are two Korean wings and Cha Beom-soo. Korea has an absolute advantage in one-on-one matches.

Kishin quickly analyzed the information provided by the on-site intelligence and made a bold decision. He brought in striker Kim Chul-beom to replace central defender Park Dong-chun. When Kishin lowered the defender and brought in the striker in the first half of the away game, the morale of the audience was beyond words.

‘How ridiculous must the Chinese team have looked to have lowered their defenders and brought up their attackers when they were leading in the first half.’

Not only the audience but also the Chinese players must have had similar thoughts. If you don’t get angry, you’re not a hot-blooded man from the continent. Kim Chul-beom, who was substituted, was showered with swear words and boos.

‘The jeers and boos from the opposing team’s fans are the best compliments you can get.’

This is advice from Kishin for Kim Chul-beom, who has little game experience. Kim Chul-beom was at a loss for words at the excessive praise. And he repaid the praise with action. He sharply tore through China’s final defense line, which had been raised much higher than the coach’s instructions, at lightning speed.

When he was one-on-one with Kim Chul-beom, who scored four goals in the last game, Du-lei sweated coldly on the back of his neck. Unlike Wang Hui, Du-lei didn’t care about food and even smoked. He heard that alcohol damages the reflexes, so he is trying his best to restrain himself. And since it’s the beginning of the season, he hasn’t been able to get his condition up properly. He still remembers vividly when he was in great condition last year and gave up four goals to Kim Chul-beom.

Kim Chul-beom, who read the fear in Du-rae’s eyes, gained confidence. He tried a leg-jumping exercise that he had never practiced before. His thigh and ankle muscles supported him, and his balance did not waver at all. When Du-rae slightly swayed his upper body, Kim Chul-beom accelerated sharply to the left. He did not think or decide, but his body moved reflexively because he had trained to move from position to position without the ball.

The referee awarded a penalty kick and then gave Duray a red card. He kicked Kim Chul-beom’s knee with his foot in a situation where there was no possibility of touching the ball. If his foot was lower, he would have received a yellow card, but his foot was too high, leaving no room for excuses.

The new Chinese team coach took down the veteran player and put up the goalkeeper. The veteran player who came down as a substitute ignored the coach who was asking for a handshake and went straight to the locker room with Du Lei. Boos erupted from the audience. It is unclear whether they were booing the coach or the players.

The penalty kick was taken by Dong-geun Hwang. The ball slowly flew to the middle and became a goal. The Chinese goalkeeper, who had spent 3 minutes warming up, froze again. The one who ordered Dong-geun Hwang to take the penalty kick was Bum-soo Cha. The Chinese goalkeeper, who had just come up and had conceded a goal to the opposing goalkeeper, had mixed emotions and had difficulty concentrating.

Han Yun’s cross was converted into a goal by Park Jung-hyun. The goalkeeper complained that he gave the defenders too easy a chance to head the ball. The defenders insisted that the goalkeeper should block the ball in a situation where the shooting angle was limited to this extent. The Chinese team was in shambles.

– 6-0 away win, is CSL’s mercenary policy a success or a failure?

– The Chinese team coach said that it was an inevitable decision to play all defense in the second half.

– Hosting the World Cup is the only answer to advancing to the World Cup, 100% of Chinese netizens agree.

– Kim Chul-beom’s hat trick, his sudden rise as a China killer.

– Several Chinese clubs have expressed their intention to recruit Kim Cheol-beom.

– Chinese club offers 60 million euros in annual salary to Kisin.

In another match, Syria beat Qatar 2:1 to score 10 points. China and Qatar are still far from the World Cup with 5 and 3 points respectively. Korea, with 15 points, has already secured a ticket to the World Cup. Even if China wins three consecutive matches, it will only score 14 points.

In the match five days later, Korea crushed Hong Kong 8:0. Syria and China drew 1:1. On April 4, Qatar won 1:0 against Hong Kong to earn six points. Korea won 2:0 at home against Syria.

In the 9th round, Korea took a break. Syria won 4:0 against Hong Kong to advance to the World Cup with 14 points. Qatar won 1:0 at home against China to earn 9 points.

With one game remaining, excluding Syria, Korea is first in the group with 21 points from 7 games. Syria is second with 14 points from 8 games. Qatar is third with 9 points from 7 games, and China is fourth with 6 points from 7 games.

In theory, both China and Qatar have a chance. With nine points, they can be the top three. Looking at the situation in other groups, third place can only get eight points. Qatar has a chance of getting a half-ticket if it doesn’t suffer a crushing defeat.

“I would like Director Ki to accept this request. Ask him for more details.”

An intruder interrupted the dinner with President Kim. A Chinese man who spoke fluent English asked Ki-sin to help Qatar beat the team by three goals in the May match.

“You don’t have to worry about the referee. If you win by just three goals, I will not forget your kindness, regardless of the final result.”

Saying that he will not forget the favor means that he will not forget the grudge if he refuses. Kisin had no intention of taking the last game lightly anyway. Since there was also a request from President Kim, he readily agreed.

“I can’t make any guarantees. And we will play to our best even if you don’t ask us to.”
