Chapter 1144 How to choose?
The second half of the game started again.
After the two teams changed sides and fought again, they did not make substitutions to the player lineup, and their technical and tactical styles basically continued the situation in the first half. The South Korean team continued to control the ball, while the Chinese team retreated to the half-time defensive counterattack.
With the equalization of the score at the last moment of the first half, the morale of the Chinese team has obviously improved a lot compared with the first half, the players' mentality has become more active, and the tactical execution is more appropriate. Whether it is the overall movement or the compact queue, they are more skilled than the first half.
The only drawback is that as physical energy consumption in some areas increases, players in local areas can easily keep up with the rhythm and pace of Korean players, but they can still use the overall team to make up for personal shortcomings.
The consumption of the South Korean team is also quite large. They seem to have possession of the ball, but they are facing pressure on the field. The frontcourt players also run a lot. In addition, because of their overseas return to play, their physical condition is not in their best condition. After fighting for the first half, their physical condition is not much better than that of the Chinese team.
After the start of the second half, the South Korean team tried to attack, but it was quickly resolved by the Chinese team.
On the contrary, in the 49th minute, the Chinese team launched a counterattack in the frontcourt. Gao Lin took the ball from the right to create a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt. The ball was sent to the back point, and Zhang Linfan grabbed the landing point and headed the ball, but it was slightly higher.
After that, the South Korean team continued to launch an offensive, speeding up the pace of the game through fast transmission, hoping to use the fast pace to open up the Chinese team's defensive formation and create threats, but the Chinese team's players also calmly maintained the overall order under Gao Han's reminder.
In an offensive attack with the left-side out-of-bounds ball, Zhang Yuning grabbed the landing point in the penalty area and headed back to Wu Lei who was inserted, but the latter's fish jumped to the top and pushed the ball high again.
The fast-paced offensive and defensive battles between the two sides made all the fans on the court very nervous, but no one could create an excellent scoring opportunity, especially the South Korean team, who controlled the ball but failed to create a threat, and the more they played, the more they became more impatient.
In the 58th minute, South Korea's low ball was passed by the ball from the right and hit the Chinese team directly. Sun Xingmin quickly inserted it, trying to attack the goal before everyone, but Feng Xiaoting reacted quickly and blocked the ball in time before the opponent.
After Sun Xingmin, who was lying on the ground, got up, he shouted a few words to referee Hassan, saying that Feng Xiaoting had just made a foul move, with a somewhat impatient expression and a not friendly attitude, and was severely warned by the referee.
Then midfielder Ji Chengyong was eager to grab the ball back while defending the Chinese team against the counterattack. He raised his foot too high and was stopped by the referee. Left back Wu Zaishu even fouled a foul while defending the Chinese team quickly gave a free kick, and was awarded a yellow card.

As the saying goes, an expert looks at the tricks, while an outsider watches the fun.
Ordinary fans watched more and more lively, but the big players of the Football Association sitting in the stands saw the trick.
The football match was closely linked, and after the second half, they truly understood Gao Han’s intentions and further understood why Gao Han was the world’s top coach, not Stilik.
Putting down your posture and fighting a defensive counterattack is Gao Han’s grand strategy in this game. Everything is based on this strategy. What he grasped is that the South Korean team will definitely not be willing to be tied by the Chinese team at home.
Even if they can accept the draw, Gao Han's various momentums before the game will make the Korean team unwilling to accept it.
An accident occurred in the game, and the players' mistakes caused the Chinese team to fall behind, and the balance of victory tilted towards the South Korean team.
But at the critical moment, Gao Han made timely adjustments and gave up his intention of counterattack in the second half. Instead, he grabbed a wave and stole a goal before the end of the first half to tie the score.
This goal is extremely critical and determines the trend of the second half.
It can be said that this on-site adjustment reflects Gao Han's ruthlessness and decisiveness, and he can show courage and courage at critical moments.
After equalizing the score, the second half seemed to have returned to the beginning of the first half, but the mentality of the Korean players was obviously worse than the first half because they had already pulled the victory in their hands.
If you fail to get it or lose it, it is clear at a glance which is more important than these two mentalities.
It can be said that from the layout before the game to the adjustment during the game, Gao Han completely showed the style of the world's top coach and his super ability to plan. I believe that after this game, no one will dare to question Gao Han's level.
"I have a question. Why didn't the team attack according to the original plan in the second half?" A big shot from the Football Association asked strangely.
This should be a doubt in many people.
Since the first half was tied and the situation returned to the track controlled by Gao Han, why not attack in the second half?
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be physical fitness. The team consumed a lot of pressure before the end of the first half. Now the Korean team is trying hard to speed up the pace, which is also to fight for us. We have no advantage in physical fitness."
Li Tie's analysis has reached the recognition of everyone.
Reasonable allocation of physical energy consumption is what all players and head coaches should consider.
"This is also the reason why Gao Han wants to vigorously promote the establishment of the club and national team training system. If our players' physical fitness does not reach the level of the four major European leagues, as long as they can reach the level of the Korean team, the Korean team will probably abandon their weapons and surrender long ago."
"Yes, we only have so much physical fitness. Now we are attacking and exhausting our physical fitness early. Even if we get a goal, we may not be able to defend. Instead of doing this, it is better to defend and counterattack steadily, so that the Korean team can reveal their own flaws."
"I just don't know what kind of adjustment Stilik will make now. It's been sixty minutes. He should be in a state of confusion now, right?"
"Haha, it should have been like this long ago. When did our China play South Korea? The opponent's head coach was so angry?"
"I think it's more of a weakness. Facing a head coach like Gao Han, all his plans have not left the other party's plan, and it's easy to have the illusion that he is all under the control of the other party. I guess he is also very confused now, wanting to win but afraid of losing."
"But Gao Han's strategy is wonderful. Unless he replaces with a defensive player now, reduces offensive investment and stabilizes defense, otherwise, according to the current situation, the Chinese team still has a higher chance of winning, and Gao Han will definitely have a second move."
...
The veterans of the Football Association in the stands discussed it with one word and another, and their expressions became relaxed.
As the second half progressed, everyone could see Gao Han’s strategic layout clearly. It was the South Korean team who controlled the ball, but they all developed confidence in the Chinese team.
Especially when they saw the expressions and performances of the Chinese international players on the court, this was even more so.

How to choose?
Stilek was indeed in a dilemma.
He is very clear about the current situation. He cannot let the game continue like this anyway. He must make adjustments.
The key to the problem is how to adjust it?
Strengthen defense or strengthen offense?
The Chinese team is too tenacious now, with tightly organized defenses and difficult to break.
The Korean team is pressing forward as a whole, and the players are also a little impatient. The gap left behind is too large and is always torn apart by the Chinese team again and again. This is a big hidden danger.
If you can score a goal at this time, everything will be different.
After thinking about it, Stilik had to grit his teeth and make a decision.
Sixty minutes have passed, and the more hesitated, the fewer options he has.
The draw is acceptable to the Chinese team, but it cannot satisfy South Korea, and even the players are not satisfied.
So, Stilik didn't have the courage to stick to his conservatism anymore.
Front striker Huang Xican, down from midfield, Ju Zizhe.
…………
…………
"Hong Xican, here he comes up. It seems that he should strengthen the offensive."
Assistant coach Xiao Mu frowned when he saw Huang Xican walking to the sidelines to make a substitution.
Gao Han nodded slightly and paid close attention to the substitution of the Korean team.
From the second half, he has been waiting for Stilik to adjust and substitution because he knows that Stilik will definitely not be able to sit still.
The situation on the field is now stalemate, and the key is to see who can't sit still first, make adjustments first, and take the initiative.
The adjustments to the South Korean team are nothing more than defense and offense. Relatively speaking, Gao Han is more willing to strengthen his offense. The reason is very simple. With the current offensive strength of the Chinese team, there is basically no chance of a tough battle.
When he saw that Huang Xican had replaced Gu Zizhe, he immediately understood Stilik's intentions and turned to Xiao Mu and said, "Let both Zhang Xizhe and Hao Junmin warm up and prepare to appear immediately."
Soon, the Chinese team immediately made a substitution adjustment.
And Gao Han didn't move, but he changed two more when he moved.
Zhang Xizhe replaced Gao Lin, and Hao Junmin replaced Yin Hongbo, who consumed a lot of physical energy.
Both substitutions were counter-position substitutions, which looked more like a player who was over-explosive in physical energy.
…………
…………
"The Chinese team has also made substitutions."
"Gao Han replaced Gao Lin with Zhang Xizhe, and Hao Junmin replaced Yin Hongbo."
"Before, after the team arrived in Seoul, Hao Junmin had a cold and was stopped by Gao Han. He did not make any appearances in this game, but now he replaces Yoon Hongbo."
"This midfielder has a strong ability to pass and create opportunities. As for Zhang Xizhe to replace Gao Lin, he should still play on the right side of the frontcourt. Gao Lin performed well in this game. The replacement at this time is probably due to physical energy consumption."
"It's just that we don't know whether the Chinese team's playing style will be adjusted after Gao Han replaces two players?"
Everyone at the scene, including Stilik, was the same as the commentator's suspicion, that is, why did Gao Han replace two players in one breath? Is there any deep meaning in it?
Otherwise, with Gao Han's coaching strength and on-site command, it would be impossible to do such useless work.
What's more, it's only more than 60 minutes now, and there is nearly half an hour before the end of the game. It's definitely impossible to say that Gao Han has no idea.
South Korean coach Stilek, who was standing on the sidelines, also frowned. He could tell that Gao Han made targeted adjustments after he made substitutions, which was obviously a change made to his substitutions.
In this way, his every move was accurate by Gao Han, and even made targeted arrangements.
So what should he do now?
Adjust again?
But he didn't know Gao Han's intentions at all. How to adjust it? Where to adjust it?
Let's observe for a while and then talk about it clearly.
But what Stilik didn't know was that his observation directly led to the passiveness of the Korean team on the court.
After Gao Han replaced two players in one breath, the team's counterattack style also changed, from pursuing speed and efficiency to pursuing precision, paying more attention to cooperation, and using the group to quickly advance to counterattack.
It was after discovering this that the assistant beside Stilek's side changed his expression.
"This...they...have been practiced during training."
"What?" Stilik was shocked.
