"Battle between China and South Korea", is the national football team strong or a fluke?

On February 23, 2017, the Chinese men’s national football team defeated the South Korean team at home at Changsha Helong Stadium. Although the score was 1-0, in this single game, 1-0 is still 9 Compared to 0, in fact, they all got the same 3 points, but from the game process, I felt that the national football team did not win by luck.

Reason 1. The strength of the national football team is good. Although the results of the national football team in major competitions are not very good, the strength of the national football team is still good. It can be seen from the AFC Champions League that in recent years, the Chinese Super League teams The results are still good. From Guangzhou Evergrande winning the AFC Champions League in 2015 to two teams scoring in the top 8 in 2016, the Chinese Super League teams have achieved very good results. But some fans will say that league club teams have foreign players, and foreign players are very powerful, but football is a game of 11 people. A player can have outstanding points, but he must also be balanced in all positions. A team that only relies on foreign players cannot survive. Far away, so Chinese players are still very capable.

Reason 2: The national football team uses tactics well. China's new head coach, Marcello Lippi, is an Italian and the 2006 World Cup winning coach in Germany. He is known as the Silver Fox Lippi because of his clever tactics. Lippi is a master tactician. The tactic Lippi used in this game was defensive counterattack. Italian coaches are very knowledgeable about defensive counterattacks, especially coaches like Lippi who used defensive counterattacks to win the World Cup, so The national football team used tactics well in this game, including defensive counterattacks and using set pieces to score goals. These are very common Italian tactics. However, on the other hand, South Korea did not attack thoroughly enough, so it was natural for them to lose.

Reason 3. The Korean team did not use all its main players to face the battle. For example, the general in the team, Son Heung-min, who plays in the Premier League, is an attacker with strong long-range shooting and goal-breaking abilities, so the Korean team lacks For such a main attacker, the offense could not open up the situation, and then he was scored by the national football team from a corner kick. It is reasonable to lose.

Reason 4, look at the game data and analyze how the national football team defeated the Korean team. The national football team had 9 shots and 4 shots on target, while the Korean team had 8 shots and 2 shots on target; the ball possession rate was 38 for the national football team and 62 for South Korea. This is a typical defensive counterattack style with very little ball possession rate, but for the offense The grasp of opportunities is very strong, which is very suitable for the current national football team. It can also be seen that the national football team has made a lot of preparations for this game, and the national football team has the advantage of home court. The Helong Stadium in Changsha is a blessed place for Chinese football. The national football team has always been at the Helong Stadium. Never lost, this is the confidence of Blessed Land.

Reason 5, we have to talk about something outside the football field. In peaceful times, football is war. It symbolizes the pride of a country. The United States deploys the THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea. In addition, there are high-profile supports from Korean entrepreneurs, which makes the peace-loving Chinese people furious. Therefore, the showdown between Chinese football and Korean football at this time can arouse the passion and blood of the national football team. Therefore, the 11 players of the national football team, Not just these 11 people, they represent the anger of 1.4 billion Chinese people.

So from every aspect, Chinese football is fully prepared, and victory is not a fluke!
