Prominence in Football Community

At this time, Sun Xingmin is indeed looking at Gao Zheng who is interacting with the fans in the distance with a very complicated mood and eyes.

He suffocated before this game and wanted to compete with Gao Zheng.

He knew what South Korea thought about this game. Although he denied the "revenge" talk, he really wanted to find Gao Zheng for revenge.

He feels that he is in a very good state today, and he has a strong hunch that he can score goals in this game.

But the first half was almost over, and his goal didn't come.

On the contrary, Gao Zheng has already scored twice.

In order to curb Atletico Madrid's aggressive attack, Leverkusen adopted very crazy foul tactics in this game: so far, Atletico Madrid, known for its tough style of play, has only committed one foul, while Leverkusen has committed nine fouls , Four of these nine fouls were used on Gao Zheng. For this, Spasic also received a yellow card and will miss the next game-if there is another one.

Under Leverkusen's high-intensity defense, Gao Zheng still scored two goals, turning a blind eye to Leverkusen's defense.

What about yourself?

Of course, he also encountered the key marking of Atletico Madrid defenders. After all, he is the only arrow figure in Leverkusen's current offense.

But Atletico Madrid did not commit a single foul on him, which prevented him from scoring goals.

This disparity is judgmental.

When Gao Zheng celebrated the goal, Sun Xingmin was particularly disappointed.

He seemed to see a huge gap between himself and Gao Zheng, which was very difficult to bridge.

Faced with such a huge gap in strength, anyone will feel timid and think, "Forget it, why make yourself unhappy?"

Sun Xingmin almost had such an idea in his heart, but he quickly killed this idea in his heart.

South Korean player Sun Xingmin is a person who refuses to admit defeat.

At the beginning, he and his compatriots were sent to the German Hamburg Club for training. The language barrier, unaccustomed diet, and homesickness far away from home... These all became difficulties that prevented them from gaining a firm foothold in Germany.

Several teammates who came with him left one after another, and in the end he was the only one who stayed and successfully gained a foothold in Hamburg.

Just because he is a person who refuses to admit defeat, for him, those difficulties exist objectively, and they are indeed great difficulties.

For ordinary people, these difficulties can be a reason for them to give up, which is reasonable and no one will criticize them.

But Sun Xingmin is unwilling to bow to these difficulties and admit defeat.

He worked hard to improve his language, change his living habits, and make himself closer to those real Germans in terms of body and mind. Living in Germany is as easy as living in South Korea.

On the court, he concentrated on training and used better performance to win the recognition of the German coaches and teammates, so that they no longer look at themselves with prejudice.

In the end, he broke out a world of his own in Germany.

He has also become a representative figure of Korean football after Park Ji-sung.

All he has to do is surpass his senior compatriots Park Ji-sung, Cha Bum-geun and others to become a world-class Korean player.

At this moment, he met Gao Zheng.

Sun Xingmin seems to have returned to the situation when he first came to Germany. Huge difficulties lie in front of him. Should he surrender or admit defeat, or grit his teeth and die?

Son Xingmin chose the latter.

Gao Zheng is indeed very good. This has been fully verified in the Asian Cup. Not only in the game against the South Korean team, but in the entire Asian Cup, he is the player with the most goals, and his number of goals far exceeds Second place in the scorer list. So much so that although the Chinese team did not win the championship, he was awarded the best player award in the Asian Cup in the end, and there was no controversy at all. Even the host Australian media did not complain about their Cahill.

Gao Zheng seems to have become a top-notch star in Asian football, occupying a position all by himself.

In front of him, he, the "top Korean star", seemed not enough.

But in front of such a powerful opponent, Sun Xingmin suddenly found the motivation to continue fighting.

He wants to defeat Gao Zheng and surpass Gao Zheng.

When he really does it, seniors like Park Ji-sung and Cha Bum-geun will naturally be surpassed by him...

He raised his head again, his eyes filled with determination.

The first half is about to end, the second half, the second half, he will let Gao Zheng see his awareness!

The commentators and guest commentators on Korean TV are super embarrassed right now.

Because they were still bragging about Sun Xingmin before, they insisted on describing the unfavorable situation as a favorable condition for Sun Xingmin.

It is said that when Atletico Madrid presses heavily, it is when Leverkusen counterattacks.

Atletico Madrid did press hard, but Leverkusen had no chance to fight back.

And before Sun Xingmin had time to score, Gao Zheng scored twice instead.

Faced with such a situation, the two Koreans didn't know what to say for a while, so there was nearly ten seconds of silence in the TV broadcast watched by Korean fans, which was embarrassing.

After the silence, they could only blame Leverkusen's defense: "How can Gao Zheng shoot in the middle with almost no one marking? How can he be so careless!"

There is a kind of accusation against Leverkusen for "hating iron but not steel" in the tone, and it seems that Leverkusen is holding back their Sun Xingmin.

During the intermission, Leverkusen coach Schmidt encouraged his players.

The total score was originally leading, but now it has become behind, which will hit the players more or less. And the team's tactic is to play defensive counterattack, but now the score is behind, how to play defensive counterattack?

The players will certainly be shaken by the idea of ​​continuing to implement the coach's tactics.

Schmidt must make tactical adjustments, and at the same time allow the players to regain confidence in tactics.

Defensive counterattack is definitely not able to continue to play. If you continue to play like this, Leverkusen will definitely be eliminated.

So you have to be bold and choose more adventurous tactics.

Although he no longer plays defensive counterattacks, Sun Xingmin will still be the main firepower of Leverkusen's offense.

Schmidt has high hopes for Son Heung-min.

"Your speed is the best weapon to break through their defense. As long as you have a chance in the second half, you should resolutely go forward!"

Sun Xingmin nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, coach! I won't let you down!"

Schmidt is very satisfied with Sun Xingmin's attitude. He said to all the players: "Although we are behind by one goal, please remember that this is an away game. As long as we can score a goal, we can regain the initiative In my own hands! So it's not time to give up yet! We have exactly forty-five minutes!"

At the same time, in the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone is also cheering up his team: "Don't take it lightly! We are only one goal ahead in the total score. As long as the opponent scores a goal in the second half, our The advantage will be gone! So don't settle for a two-goal lead in the first half, keep it up in the second half, we're going to score more goals! Don't worry they'll score, don't worry they'll score away! Winning the game The method is very simple, that is to score more goals than them!!"
