Chapter 739 Gradually losing control
Park Guixian stepped on the football and stood in the center circle, waiting for the kick-off.
He gritted his teeth as he watched the players from the Chinese team chatting and laughing as they passed in front of him.
This game should have been a perfect opportunity for me to show my abilities to coach Yang Zhongxun, but why was it the opponent who scored first?
Scored a goal in the first attack at the beginning... This shit must be so lucky!
Yes, good luck!
In his mind, Park Guixian believed that Hu Lai and the Chinese team's goal was just bad luck for Hu Lai.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain why the Chinese team took the lead in the first three minutes.
Not to mention the huge gap in strength between the Chinese team and the South Korean team. Even if there is a match between two teams of similar strength, if you want to score in the first three minutes, you still need good luck.
Thinking of this, Park Guixian turned around and shouted to his teammates behind him: "Don't panic! It's no big deal!"
There are several young teammates in the starting lineup for this game, and everyone is similar to him in age. Naturally, he does not have to worry about whether he will overstep his bounds.
Among the younger generation of players, he still has the right to shout at them.
Upon seeing this, Park Yong-cheol, a guest commentator on Korean TV, praised loudly: "Park Kyi-hyun seems to be motivating his teammates, which is good. If he can have this kind of initiative and self-awareness, his future will definitely be bright!"
"Yes, when everyone was dejected by the sudden blow, Park Guixian did not give up. In this game, he started instead of Park Suntae. I hope he can bring his outstanding performance in the league to the national team!" The Korean TV commentator immediately added.
The two sang together and cheered up the Korean fans in front of the TV.
It's impossible not to do this, because the current game situation has really damaged the morale and confidence of Korean fans.
In a game that the Chinese team could not win without winning, they took the lead from the opening goal. Anyone with a bit of football knowledge will worry about whether the Chinese team will go crazy next time, and facing the crazy Chinese team, can the South Korean team withstand it?
Originally, before the game, these Korean fans would not consider this possibility at all - how could the Korean team lose to the Chinese team? The only suspense in this game is that our Korean team can beat the Chinese team by a few goals in the away game!
Now...
Faced with a 0:1 deficit, many people began to be unable to suppress their inner worries.
There are also some hot-tempered Korean fans who have complained online about Yang Zhongxun’s formation:
"Why not let Park Suntae start?!"
"If you don't want Park Suntae to play, then why do you have to call him back? Isn't the eleven-hour flight from London to China a very relaxing and enjoyable journey? It's such a torment but not letting him play. It’s better not to let him come back to suffer in the first place!”
"Is Yang Zhongxun inflated? Do you really think that the Korean team can do without Park Soon-tae? We were able to get the right to qualify two rounds in advance in the qualifiers, isn't it because we have the 'Light of Asia' Park Soon-tae? Hurry up and let Park Soon-tae play. , idiot!”
※※※
Of course, it is impossible for Yang Zhongxun to let Park Suntae come on as a substitute in the first three to five minutes. Wouldn't that mean he admits that there is a major problem with his formation?
It's far from that point yet.
In Yang Zhongxun's view, this goal loss should be just an accident, and it does not mean that there is something wrong with his tactics and lineup selection.
No head coach in the world would make a hasty substitution under such circumstances.
He stood on the sidelines and looked at the court motionless. Although his face was solemn, he had not lost his composure.
Behind him, Park Soon-tae never thought that he would go into battle because of a lost ball.
He was sitting on the bench, and when he heard the complaints and sighs from the substitute teammates around him, he turned around and scolded them in a low voice: "Quiet! The game has just begun, it's just one ball! Don't complain about the players who are working hard on the field just because they lost a ball." Teammates!”
After he said this, his teammates were embarrassed to continue complaining about their teammates' defense on the court.
Some people were thin-skinned and even blushed.
Park Soon-tae didn't care how his teammates felt. He turned his attention to the court again.

"The good news is that we took a one-goal lead in the first three minutes. The bad news is that the South Korean team now has nearly 90 minutes to equalize the score." He Feng said in the commentary box. The cheers in the stadium are finally It's not as loud as before, and he can maintain a relatively normal volume when speaking without having to shout at the top of his lungs into the microphone.
"It is too difficult for the Chinese team to hold on to this one-goal lead. I think we should actively seek offensive opportunities. Don't think about being conservative and shrinking our defense after leading by one goal..." Yan Kang, who was sitting next to him, analyzed. "The most fearful thing on the football field is the idea of 'being rich means peace'."
"The Chinese team took advantage of the Korean team's mentality of underestimating the enemy after the opening game and took the lead. Although they scored a goal, it also increased the difficulty of scoring the next goal. Hu Lai will definitely be closely guarded by the opponent, and if he wants to get this It is very difficult to get a chance to score. How easy is it to score another goal?" He Feng asked.
"Actually, I think we have all set our sights on Hu Lai. Of course Hu Lai is a very good shooter, but our offensive power is definitely not limited to just one Hu Lai. Otherwise, it will be Shi Wuyin's failure." Yan Kang answered He Feng’s question, “In addition to Hu Lai, we also have two sharp strikers, Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai. They are playing in the Chinese Super League this season. The performances in the game are also very good. Chen Xingyi has scored 12 goals and scored in double figures. Luo Kai also has nine goals and six assists. They are all playing leading roles in their respective clubs... If the Korean team is like us, it will be. I feel that Hu Lai is the only person in the Chinese team who can threaten them, so Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai might both have the opportunity to take advantage of it..."

The game has restarted, and the South Korean team took advantage of their kick-off opportunity to attack the Chinese team's goal.
This time they finally managed to finish the shot.
It just didn't hit the door frame at all.
The South Korean team's first shot of the game flew directly to the runway area behind the goal.
There was a burst of laughter in the stands of the Provincial Sports Center.
Sixty thousand Chinese fans collectively laughed at the Korean team's shot.
And this shot came from Park Guixian.
Even if it is not to put pressure on Korean players in this life-and-death battle, Chinese fans will not hesitate to seize every opportunity to laugh at Park Guixian.
Because when it comes to the Korean players that Chinese fans hate the most, Park Sung-hsing, who once defeated Gao Chen, is the first to bear the brunt, followed by Park Gui-hyun, who has stepped on the Chinese trophy.
Amid the jeers, the Korean TV commentator was still encouraging and comforting him: "It doesn't matter! This is just the beginning, the Korean team's offense is about to pick up! After all, no one can guarantee that the first shot will score..."
When the Korean commentator said this, he automatically ignored Hu Lai, who just scored on the first shot of the game.
Anyway, his audience does not include Chinese fans, so no one will use this sentence to argue with him.
But the actual situation of the game was not what the Korean commentator thought. Park Guixian's outrageously deflected shot kicked off the attack.
In fact, conceding the ball at the beginning still caused a huge psychological impact on the Korean team's players, and they did not recover from this unexpected situation so quickly.
So next, the Chinese team will have the advantage on the court and continue to attack the Korean team.
There are many threatening attacks among them.
Luo Kai, who was named by Yan Kang before, had a high-quality shot that was saved by the South Korean team's goalkeeper Sun Haimin with his fingertips.
Seeing that the Korean team did not complete self-adjustment on the field, but was overwhelmed by the Chinese team's offense and had a tendency to continue to lose goals.
The Korean team coach Yang Zhongxun, who had been standing on the sidelines playing cool before, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He started waving his arms and yelling down the field, telling the players to calm down and not panic.
It's just that his shouting was impossible to be heard by the players on the field amid the huge noise at the scene.
The South Korean players can only understand what the coach means through his gestures.
Slow down, slow down, and don't let the game fall into the Chinese team's rhythm!
But it’s easier said than done!
In the singing and shouting of the Chinese fans, everyone's heartbeat seemed to be accelerating and adrenaline surged. In such an environment, how is it possible to apply the brakes on this crazy accelerating vehicle?
Park Soon-tae, who was still watching the game on the bench, has now stood up, grabbing the ceiling of the bench with both hands, leaning slightly forward, and looking nervously at the court.
With his sense of smell and experience as a top professional player, he felt that the Korean team was like sitting on an out-of-control car, running wildly on a narrow winding mountain road.
Fatal danger may suddenly appear at the next bend!
Park Soon-tae couldn't care less about criticizing head coach Yang Zhongxun's decision not to start him now, because the game that was a sure thing before the game ended up like this, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.
He himself didn't expect it at all.
Facing the fierce attack of the Chinese team, he now hopes that the Korean team can withstand the offensive in the last fifteen minutes. I believe that as long as they can withstand it, the Chinese team's indiscriminate bombardment will come to an end, and then the Korean team will be able to get a chance to breathe.
Then... calmness and confidence will return to his teammates.
Come on, teammates!
