Chapter 217 Hot First Half
The referee from Bahrain, Suklara, was the one who enforced the game. With his whistle, the game started, and the South Korean team kicked off first in the first half.
In this game, the Koreans wore traditional red jerseys, while the Chinese team wore white away jerseys. After the opening game, the South Korean Red Devils cheerleaders began to show their "magic nature", shouting slogans, and drummers beat the drums loudly.
But the South Korean players on the field were very calm and did not attack the Chinese team at the beginning. Stan usually only needs to watch the opening 5 minutes to understand the opponent's strategic intentions and whether the game is easy to play or not.
But when Stan watched the South Korean team's first-half match just 5 minutes into the game, Stan was puzzled. Logically speaking, the Korean team was eager to win this game after losing the last game, and this game is still the home court of the South Korean team. Three points should be the only goal of the South Korean team.
However, the South Korean team played slowly in the first 5 minutes, and they were not in a hurry, but Stan couldn't see through it.
After the start of the game, South Korea’s three midfielders—Ki Sung-yong, Ha Dae-sung, and Koo Ja-cheol- controlled the ball very well. Stan admitted that these three midfielders of the South Korean team are all European-level players.
These 3 people have a balanced offense and defense. For a while, Stan couldn't see any weakness in the opponent's midfield.
When the game lasted for 8 minutes, the ball possession rate was 70% for South Korea and 30% for China. In the away game against South Korea, such a ball possession rate is acceptable.
In the 9th minute of the first half, Ki Sung-yong was in control of the ball. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw "Lee Cheong-yong" on the right at high speed.
Ji Chengyong fell to the ground in pain, and the Korean fans booed thunderously. Under the pressure, Suklara gave Zheng Zhi a yellow card. Stan was very dissatisfied. He felt that Zheng Zhi's action was for stealing the ball rather than kicking people maliciously, and the game had only just started.
Stan found the theory of the fourth official, but the fourth official didn't seem to understand English very well. He was expressionless and ignored Stan.
Here, Stan was dissatisfied with the referee showing a yellow card, and the head coach of the Korean team "Choi Kang-hee" was also dissatisfied. After watching the slow-motion, he felt that Zheng Zhi's foot was firmly on Ki Sung-yong's ankle, and he should be shown a red card.
Cui Kangxi also came over to talk to the fourth official. Stan kept swearing at Cui Kangxi, the one at the beginning of F, and then made a shut-up gesture, which meant, "Give me less and be good."
Seeing the head coach being humiliated, 5 or 6 members of the coaching staff of the South Korean team rushed out together. Not only was Stan not afraid, but he turned his hands behind his back and walked towards the coaching staff of the South Korean team.
Cui Kangxi seemed to wake up suddenly and saw through Stan's plan. He blocked his assistant coach, fitness coach, and team leader, not allowing them to make trouble.
Seeing that the "troublemaking" was over, Stan said: "i`dare`you" (see if you dare), to provoke the opponent, Stan notified his coaching staff and the bench in advance, no matter what he did in this game, you can only watch from the sidelines and are not allowed to participate.
So in the face of the upcoming "a war" on the sidelines, Pekovic watched with relish.
Finally, the fourth official felt that the situation was not good, so he notified the referee Suklara with a headset, and the referee also noticed what happened on the sidelines, and he ran over to ask the fourth official what happened.
After some understanding, Suklala basically understood the ins and outs of the matter. The matter was a bit complicated. Both teams were at fault. If the law was strictly enforced, all those involved in the trouble would be sent off. Suklala finally wanted to make a difference and gave each of the coaches of the two teams a verbal warning.
Then Suklara also specifically warned Stan, he knew that Stan was a "provocateur" and had done this before, so he stipulated that Stan should be more than 10 meters away from the fourth official, otherwise Stan must be sent off the field.
Zheng Zhi's foul and the sideline conflict between the coaches of the two teams made the game instantly heated up. The gunpowder smell that should have been due to the confrontation between China and South Korea became stronger in the 9th minute of the game, and this is the smell of football.
The referee recorded the yellow card given to Zheng Zhi just now in his small notebook, and he was thinking in his heart at this moment, "This game is not easy to brag about, and the hot atmosphere will only get stronger and stronger."

The game resumed, but the atmosphere could no longer be restored. Korean fans felt that their coach had been plotted against and humiliated.Since then, every time the Chinese team took the ball, the South Korean fans booed and greeted with the middle finger.
Seeing this, Stan walked out of his bench again. He was about to walk towards the fourth official. This time the fourth official came prepared. Seeing Stan walking towards him, he immediately notified the referee through the headset. Stan’s purpose was exactly this, so he stopped immediately and didn’t move forward. He didn’t want to be sent off. The referee also felt that the scene was a bit out of control.
Stan's words are not completely unreasonable. The rules stipulate that if the behavior of one fan's fans affects the continuation of the game, then the referee has the right to terminate the game and award the troublesome side a 0-3 loss.
But the current situation is far from that point. If the Koreans heard Stan's request just now, they would probably go crazy.
Suklara called the fourth official and asked him to communicate with the stadium management and remind the fans to pay attention to their behavior on the stadium broadcast, otherwise the Korean Football Association will receive a ticket from the AFC after the game.
Suklara communicated to the fourth official in French, which is also the official language of FIFA. Stan knew a little French and kept applauding the referee, indicating that the referee made a good decision. Stan wanted to make the fans mistakenly think that he had a strong relationship with the referee, and pissed them off.
But Suklara just glanced at Stan coldly, as if warning Stan, coaches like Stan are the most troublesome for referees, warnings are useless, but if he is really sent off, there will be an uproar after the game.
*****
After being reminded by the live broadcast, the Korean fans restrained a lot, but everyone saw the scene where Stan was muttering to the referee on the sidelines just now, and the Koreans hated Stan to the core.
After that, the game went smoothly. The South Korean team organized two very threatening attacks. The first time was after Sun Xingmin made a quick breakthrough on the wing, passing the Chinese team's right back Qi Bing, and then cut inside and passed to Ki Sung-yong.
The second time was a free kick opportunity. Ki Sung-yong took a free kick from the left side of the front field near the corner of the penalty area. Both central defenders of the South Korean team came up to grab the header.
Stan, who watched both attacks, was terrified. This is why most football coaches have a bad heart. Sometimes the difference between scoring and not scoring in a game is a few centimeters.
Sun Xingmin is to the South Korean team just like Li Qiao is to the Chinese team. He belongs to the kind of player that you know he is dangerous but just can't defend. Stan has arranged a defense against Sun Xingmin before the game, but now it seems that the effect is very poor.
It is impossible for you to stick to the Korean team. The key is to play your own offense. After a few rounds of attacking the Korean team, the Chinese team is gradually holding the ball in the midfield, especially Zhang Xizhe and Hao Junmin can hold the ball.
But with the strength of the two of them, it's good to control the ball without losing it. If you want to organize an attack, then there is no spare power. You can only rely on Li Qiao and Lin Zhijian in front.
After Zhang Xizhe took the ball, he turned his back to protect the ball, swept it out of the corner of his eye, and gave the ball to Lin Zhijian who was on the sidelines. With Lin Zhijian's ability, it was impossible for the Koreans to easily grab the ball from him.
As soon as Lin Zhijian took the ball, Li Qiao immediately started to start. Lin Zhijian ran diagonally from the lower left to the upper right of the court. At this time, Li Qiao's correct running position should be from the lower right to the upper left, and this is how Li Qiao ran.
Such a running position can create a through pass opportunity, but when is the time to pass the ball?Then it all depends on the player's experience, which is also the standard for testing whether a player is of a high level.
Stan stared at Lin Zhijian, and looked at Li Qiao from the corner of his eye. He knew there was something going on this time. The running positions of other Chinese team members sometimes pissed off Stan because they ran randomly, but Lin Zhijian and Li Qiao were different. They came from the European youth training and would not waste energy.
Finally the opportunity came, Lin Zhijian made a straight kick, and the ball passed through the narrow defensive gap between the South Korean team's left back and left center back to Li Qiao's feet.
All of a sudden, the South Korean cheerleaders at the scene fell silent, and the drums stopped, probably because they were too nervous. Everyone could see that this opportunity for Li Qiao was a chance to score.
Facing South Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong, Li Qiao catapulted his foot and watched the ball flying against the grass.
