Football: Opening sign-in reactionary kick quick cannon

South Korea, Seoul.

The crew stopped a pair of fans who were leaving the fan shop and asked,"Will you watch the Asian Cup final on March 1?""

"Of course." A smile appeared on the man's face. He took out a jersey with Son Heung-min's number on it from the paper bag and put it on, then shouted to the camera:"Son Heung-min, Taegeuk Tiger, come on!"

Beside the man, the petite and cute woman also clenched her fists towards the camera,"Come on!"

……

Longguo, Yuanhong.

The street where a fan shop is located has been completely blocked by people rushing to shop. Customers who want to buy Longguo or Manchester United jerseys have been queuing from the store door to the street corner.

"We can see that the fan shop in the distance is doing very well. The reporter had to raise her voice to ensure that her voice could be accurately transmitted to the camera's microphone in the noisy environment.

""Go Dragon Country Team!" A customer who successfully"grabbed" the ticket shouted to the camera as he passed by the reporter.���When the camera was pointed at the other person, the young customer shyly ran away, and cheerful laughter suddenly rang out around him.

"We can see that the fans of Yuanhong are very excited, because our Longguo team's top player Chen Huan was born in Yuanhong. It was also during his time with Yuanhong that he was spotted by the Premier League giants Manchester United and went to England."

"Chen Huan is the pride of our Yuanhong." Another fan who successfully bought a jersey said to the camera, and then he opened the paper bag and showed the No. 7 Longguo jersey inside to the camera,"Longguo team will win!"

"We can see that the fans of Yuanhong City are very enthusiastic. In the final stage of the Dragon Super League that ended earlier, Yuanhong team also won eight consecutive league games, thus qualifying for the AFC Champions League."

"Dear audience, let us cheer for the upcoming Asian Cup final! Come on, Dragon Country Team!"

……

Australia, Dragon National Football Team Training Base.

Chen Huan, who had just flown in from England, was doing recovery training under the guidance of a physical trainer.

Other members of the Dragon National Team were doing running practice on the training ground.

"Remember your running positions!"

Head coach Leeson walked along the side of the court, holding a big speaker in his hand, and shouted:"When you get to the court, follow the running positions in training. When a player creates a gap for some reason, the nearest player to his side must immediately deploy defense, and the gap created by the player who comes to defend must also be filled by others immediately."

"Got it!"The players shouted in response.

"We have all watched the previous game videos of South Korea. They mainly rely on quick offense, so our defense must be fast. During the ball possession transition phase, we must plug all potential loopholes before their offense starts!"

"The cup competition is really the art of defense." Chen Huan said to the physical trainer beside him with feeling.

"Yes, according to statistics, in the cup competition, the team with good defense has a significantly higher chance of winning than the team with good offense. This has also given rise to the current utilitarian football. Oh - Barcelona is different. Their super control allows them to play more elegantly and win, as well as Arsenal."

Chen Huan has not yet established his own football philosophy, and he is not in a hurry

"As long as I win the final, I am willing to play any kind of football."

The fitness coach smiled and said,"That's right."

……

At the soccer training base used by South Korea in the same city, the players of the Taegeuk Tigers began to practice their running positions under the command of several coaches.

At this time, the central defender Kim Young-gwon made a mistake in his running position, and his step forward was slower than others.

If this mistake happened in the game, the offside tactics of the Taegeuk Tigers' defense line might become a"clown" tactic.

"Feel sorry……"Jin Yingquan also knew that he had made a mistake, so he raised his hand and bowed to the head coach to apologize.

The head coach Quan Taiyong came to Jin Yingquan silently, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jin Yingquan's collar, pulling and shaking him a few times.

"You bastard, do you know what it means if you make a mistake like this on the court?"

"Do you know how long we have been preparing for this Asian Cup?"

"Damn it, if I see you make such a mistake again, I will kill you with my own hands! I am not kidding!"

After saying this, Quan Taiyong pushed Jin Yingquan back a step.

The court was dead silent, and all the players lowered their heads.

""Continue training!" Quan Taiyong yelled.

The dead silence was slightly restored, but after the training resumed, every player was on high alert and didn't dare to make any mistakes.

……

On February 28, before the Asian Cup final, the Fuso national team and the Australian national team played a third-place match at the Perth Victory Stadium.

The Fuso national team defeated the aggressive Kangaroos 3:0 in the 90 minutes of regular time.

When the Australian players left the stadium with their heads down, the commentator Xiao Zhan from Longguo said:"So far, whether Longguo or South Korea wins the championship, the three East Asian countries have swept the top three places in the Asian Cup.

Does this mean that the development level of East Asian football is faster and higher than other regions in Asia?" In this game, the coaching teams of Longguo and South Korea also watched the live broadcast of the game.

The coaching teams of Longguo and South Korea both wanted to see the competitive level of the teams eliminated by the other side.

"The Dragon Country team was able to defeat such a Fuso team. It was really... scary."Kwon Tae-yong said worriedly after the match between Fuso and Australia.

And the Dragon Country head coach Leeson did not laugh after watching the match. Although Australia lost this match, it was still possible to see the physical advantage of the Australian players. The Korean team was able to defeat such a team. Could their team defend against their attack?

The coaching teams of both teams did not sleep for half the night, and were adjusting their respective tactical structures based on the inspiration they got from the match that just ended.

Having entered the finals, no side could accept failure.

……

On March 1, the Asian Cup final finally arrived.

Huge screens were set up in the home stadiums of the Dragon Super League teams such as Far Red Athletic, Capital Victory, and South China Tigers, and the stadiums were open to all spectators for free.
