The commentators in the commentary box received the official starting lineups for both teams half an hour before the game.
Many neutral commentators shook their heads.
The Chinese team's starting lineup was too bullying.
The starting eleven of the Chinese team are all from overseas.
The goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei, the four defenders are Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei Fang and Peng, the three midfielders are Zhao Xuri, Wu Xi and Chen Tao, and the three forwards are Ai Luo, Gao Lin and Hao Junmin.
It seems that the lineup is full of potential.
Therefore, in order to counter the strong offensive power of the Chinese team, the South Korean team formed a defensive-oriented 4-5 formation.
Zhao Guanglai followed Mourinho's example in the middle and used Ki Sung-yong, Lee Yong-rae and captain Park Ji-sung to partner with three midfielders.
The two wingers are Lee Ching-ryong and Koo Ja-cheol, the forward is Chi Dong-won who was born in the 1990s, and the four defenders are Lee Young-pyo, Cho Rong-hyung, Lee Jung-soo and Cha Du-ri.
After the game started, the Korean team relied on its strong fighting spirit and full-court press without any effort to compete with the Chinese team.
It even used the referee's soft whistle feature to frequently have physical contact with the Chinese players.
Scenes of people falling on their backs can be seen everywhere. .
That's right, Zhao Guanglai's strategy in this game is to compete physically with the Chinese team, and then use frequent fouls to interrupt the Chinese team's offensive rhythm and prevent the Chinese team from organizing the offense comfortably.
As long as they insist on not conceding the ball in the first half, then The second half is the Korean team’s opportunity Although the Chinese team had prepared in this regard before the start of the game, it was really uncomfortable to face the Korean team's physical struggle and destruction.
Even Ai Luo encountered this problem.
Originally, Ailuo wanted to bully Che Duli, a defender who was about to turn 30, but the opponent was not fooled and calmly waited for the support of his teammates to act together.
When Ailuo wanted to play the ball, the other players of the Korean team The defensive players have also positioned themselves well, using each other's abundant physical fitness to make up for local disadvantages.
Football matches are sometimes like this.
Even if the gap between the two sides is obvious, as long as each player of the weaker side takes two more steps between each other, the huge gap will gradually decrease with the efforts of the team.
There is a certain reason why upsets often happen in world football.
Zhao Guanglai has studied the Chinese team's offensive routine very deeply.
He knows that once the Chinese team cannot open up the situation, they will use Ai Luo's super set-piece ability to find opportunities.
Therefore, in this game, he asked the players on the field to be able to play at 35 meters.
There is a foul outside, but once within 35 meters, you must strictly follow the collective defense strategy.
In addition, the players of this Korean team have very strong tactical discipline and play completely according to Zhao Guanglai's formation.
Therefore, in the past fifteen minutes of the game, the Chinese team did not exert its technical advantages and threatened Zheng Chenglong to guard the goal even less often.
Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary box at the scene, frowned and said: "The Korean team is more tenacious than we thought before the game.
They made up for the gap between each other through active running, and even occupied a certain position in the first fifteen minutes of the game.
Advantage, but their energy seems to be too focused on defense, and they have been unable to form a fast break after switching from defense to offense several times."
It’s no wonder that the South Korean team can stand among the top teams in Asia with its abundant physical fitness, strict tactical discipline and super willpower.
However, it also has a fatal flaw.
Once it encounters a strong team, it will be too busy defending and has no time to take care of both.
Offense, this is the case in this Asian Cup semi-final with the Chinese team.
However, neither the head coach of the Korean team nor the Korean commentator in the commentary box blamed the Korean players on the field.
Instead, they silently encouraged the players on the field.
The Chinese players on the field seemed to be getting more and more impatient as they played.
Many of their players had played in last year's World Cup in South Africa.
And it’s still fifth in the World Cup, right?
But even with such an honor, he was unable to score the goal of the South Korean team in the Asian Cup semi-finals.
It is really puzzling.
In fact, Gao Hongbo, who is already standing in the technical command area, is a little confused.
Logically speaking, the overall strength of the Chinese team is much higher than that of the Korean team, and the four-man attack combination of Ai Luo, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin and Chen Tao is very With a tacit understanding, breaking the deadlock shouldn't be a problem, but the Korean team relied on their mutual response to shorten the gap between the two sides in a short period of time.
As time went by, the Chinese team played more and more impatiently, and the result of the impatience was that they made mistakes one after another under the active fighting of the Korean team.
Park Ji-sung deserves to be the most experienced player in the Korean team.
In the 21st minute, he caught Chen Tao's mistake of passing through Hao Junmin, intercepted the ball and passed it directly to Li Qinglong.

He played in the Premier League and was very good at long passes.
The counterattack tactics were very well understood, and the two players who played in the Premier League formed a good response.
Gu Jizhe and Ji Dongyuan in the middle were very active in keeping up, and a three-on-three situation was formed in the blink of an eye.
However, at this moment, Peng, who was chasing back at high speed, made a Premier League-style shovel ball from three meters away from behind, forcing Li Qinglong to choose to take off in self-protection after passing the ball.
His take-off also returned control of football to the Chinese team.
However, the Korean team did not stand there and regret that the counterattack failed.
Instead, they quickly turned around and ran back to participate in a new round of defense.
For them, keeping the goal in the first half is the only way to complete the task.
As for whether they will score a goal, it depends on God's arrangements.
At this time, the commentator Huang Jianxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, Peng's pursuit speed is very fast, he also chooses correct defensive actions, and he also grasps the timing of the tackle very well."
Not long after, the Chinese team's pass was kicked out of the sideline by Gu Zizhe.
What's interesting is that the on-site director explained a very interesting scene.
South Korea had previously switched from defense to offense and quickly counterattacked.
Pengcai left the ball at Li Qinglong's feet behind him, and after he passed the ball, he deliberately bent over and stared.
He glanced at Li Qinglong and extended his index finger to wave in front of Li Qinglong's eyes.
The meaning was very obvious.
Seeing the footage explained by the on-site director, Huang Jianxiang laughed and said: "I remember before the semi-finals, the Korean team midfielder Li Qingyong said that he would not be able to make it in the Premier League this season.
Looking at the footage that just appeared, I I don’t think Li Qinglong has this strength yet.”
Chinese fans watching the live TV broadcast were excited.
Anyone who offends our reputation in China will be punished no matter how far away he is.
And with the direct dialogue between Peng and Li Qinglong, the two seemed to be in a relationship.
As long as Peng is present in the Chinese team's right-side offense, Li Qinglong will actively participate in the defense.
However, as an offensive player, his defensive ability is not as good as that of Peng.
Therefore, Li Qinglong suffered a big loss in defending Peng.
In the 26th minute, he even kicked Peng down in the back during defense, which almost caused a conflict between the players of both sides, so he also received a yellow card.
The commentator of China Network TV Station ridiculed Li Qinglong's foul: "Are all Koreans just talking big words?
You promised to have a good life, but now our Mr.
Zhang Wu has made it difficult for you, but you are starting to make trouble."
Temper, can you continue to play happily?"
At the same time, Ai Luo ran to Peng and whispered: "Li Qinglong has received a yellow card now, and he will definitely restrain himself in the next defense.
When Hao Junmin attracts Dali's defensive attention, you must be active and decisive."
I believe Li Qinglong would never dare to commit a foul."
Peng has always obeyed the words of captain Aiello.
His rapid integration into Chelsea in the 2010-2011 season was not only related to his strength, but also to Aiello's influence at Chelsea, so he respected Aiello very much, and that Li Qinglong also has a rivalry with him, so he must kill two birds with one stone.
As the game time entered half an hour, the smile on South Korean head coach Zhao Guanglai's face became more obvious.
The on-site director also took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to switch the camera to his face.
The South Korean commentator said knowingly: "It seems The whole game is in the hands of senior Zhao.
If there are no accidents, it will be our country, the Republic of Korea, that will advance to the finals."
The frown on the Chinese head coach Gao Hongbo's brows became more and more obvious.
It is very dangerous on the football field to have a strong advantage but not score.
If you are not careful, you may be stolen by the opponent.
Another five minutes of the game passed.
This time the Chinese team did not rush to attack forward, but patiently passed and received the ball in the midfield.
Gao Lin left the penalty area and responded as the Chinese team's offensive changes changed.
After more than ten consecutive passes, the Korean team's formation was compressed very compactly by the Chinese team, and the three lines that were previously very obvious were compressed into two lines.

Zhao Guanglai's rich coaching experience was reflected at this time, and he could see the Chinese team's intentions at a glance.
But the game was going on fiercely, and the players on the field had no extra thoughts to focus on the sidelines.
Zhao Guanglai, who was standing on the sidelines, had to wait for the dead ball and then adjust the team's defense.
He knew that if this situation of compressed formation continued, , will be very dangerous.
The football was passed for more than ten consecutive times without creating enough threat, and it was quickly handed over to Ai Luo's feet.
This is the usual offensive routine of the Chinese team.
The Korean defenders understand this well.
Park Ji-sung and Ki Sung-yoon are responsible for defending the right rib.
The full-back and right center back respectively prevent Aiello from making two choices.
This means that Aiello attracts four defenders from the Korean team when he gets the ball. players.
Gao Lin, who pulled out of the penalty area, continued to retreat and brought out central defender Li Zhengxiu.
Ai Luo passed the ball to Gao Lin without hesitation, and then ran laterally, a typical wall-hitting style.
Even though Ji Chengyong, who was stationed near the middle, paid special attention to the connection between Ai Luo and Gao Lin, he was helpless because of the tacit understanding of the two in passing and running, and was unable to steal the ball.
Central defender Li Zhengxiu was even more afraid that Gao Lin would turn around when he got the ball, and did not dare to take the risk of attacking.
At the same time, right winger Hao Junmin suddenly accelerated laterally in the corner of the right penalty area, and then tried to get behind center defender Lee Jung-pyo from in front of Lee Young-pyo
