The South Korean team kept changing their offensive tactics and worked hard for thirty minutes, indeed suppressing the Dragon team on the field.

They also got several chances to shoot, including two excellent scoring opportunities.

But at this moment, Zhao Gang's shot completely shattered the South Korean team's confidence.

Regardless of past records.

Today, here, victory will belong to the Dragon team!

This goal greatly boosted the morale of the Dragon team, while the South Korean players became somewhat listless.

Gu Zhezhe and Chi Dongyuan wasted two excellent opportunities, failing to score the goals that should have gone in.

In football, wasting opportunities always comes with a price.

It's just that the punishment came quickly. After Gu Zhezhe failed to score on a one-on-one, Zhao Gang helped the team complete a three-goal lead with a very swift counterattack!

"Awesome, Little Zhao is awesome!"

"I'm more than ten years older than Brother Zhao, but Brother Zhao is always Brother Zhao! So handsome! Screw those little Koreans!"

"Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Lippi and Zhao Gang alone could elevate the Dragon team to this level!"

"Lippi has absolute power this time, with the power of life and death over this national team. No one dares to cause trouble, and no one dares to be passive.

Looking at it this way, the Dragon team's combat power is still very fierce!"

"I think there's a good chance of winning the game against Iran in a few days! Just play like this, kick them to death! Asia is about to qualify!"

"Nineteen years old, and he'll have more than ten years to grow, my God! What kind of super superstar will he be when he's thirty?"

"We will definitely witness a legend, an era!"

Lippi smiled and kept clapping his hands.

Taking down the South Korean team means they are only three points away from the top two in the group.

If they can draw with Iran next, getting one point, there will be a very high probability of eventually overtaking the South Korean team and entering the top two.

Stielike shook his head constantly. With ten minutes left, wanting to score three goals is almost impossible given the current state of these two teams.

He knew there was a problem with his tactics, but he wouldn't admit it, let alone take the blame.

He still has to collect his salary, 1.5 billion won, which is no small amount.

The fans in the stands couldn't wait to jump down and hug Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang waved to the stands, and the fans who were cheering, waving flags, became even more crazy and enthusiastic.

Only when the South Korean team restarted the game did the fans slowly calm down.

South Korea once again had the opportunity to kick off from the center circle.

Their fighting spirit has always been among the best in Asia, but this time, the opportunity is really slim.

Especially since coach Stielike has stopped shouting altogether, accepting the result directly.

Ki Sung-yueng, as the midfield core and team leader, was still encouraging his teammates, saying they must not give up.

Score as many as they can, in case they need to fight for goal difference in the end?

Under his inspiration, coupled with the South Korean players' attitude on the field, they quickly launched attacks on both sides again, trying to score a goal, both for face and as a possible boost to their ranking in the future.

However, the Dragon team's defense still showed a very tenacious character.

Losing the ball could lead to collapse, but winning, especially winning by three goals, naturally made these players united.

Zhao Gang and several midfielders retreating made the defense very layered.

The Dragon team's possession rate has dropped sharply, and the South Korean team has launched another fierce attack.

Bang!

In the eighty-fifth minute of the game, Hwang Hee-chan suddenly took a shot outside the penalty area, but unfortunately, he didn't keep it down and it flew straight into the stands.

"Oh no, he's anxious..."

"That's bad, Hwang Hee-chan really thinks he's Zhao Gang."

"There's not much time left. Why do I feel so happy looking at the South Korean team sighing?"

"Winning a game doesn't warrant gloating, does it?"

"Go wild when you win, bear it when you lose, it's perfectly normal!"

"That's right, we used to be kicked around by South Korea, and I gritted my teeth watching the smug look on the South Korean fans' faces. Now it's our turn!"

"Everyone, laugh together!!!"

South Korean fans looked at Hwang Hee-chan's long shot and couldn't help but shake their heads when they thought of Zhao Gang's two long shots.

So that's how big the gap between people is.

The Dragon team had possession, and Zheng Zhi and Zhang Linpeng passed the ball back and forth in the backcourt, which wasted a lot of time.

Hwang Hee-chan, Gu Zhezhe, and a group of South Korean forwards were a little impatient and kept pressing forward.

They lost too much in this game, and now the Dragon players were passing the ball in front of them unhurriedly, as if deliberately letting them press forward, teasing them like chickens.

This kind of provocation made the South Korean players, who were already in a bad mood, even more impulsive.

Gu Zhezhe and Chi Dongyuan, who had missed many opportunities, rushed up to fight for the ball.

Chi Dongyuan failed to get the ball and kicked Zhang Linpeng in the ankle.

Zhang Linpeng fell to the ground in pain, and boos rang out throughout the stadium. Chi Dongyuan was extremely irrational. After seeing Zhang Linpeng fall, he kicked him in the back again, which was an emotional outburst.

Instantly, the Dragon players in the backcourt rushed over and surrounded Chi Dongyuan. Chi Dongyuan stared fiercely at the Dragon players like a man, and then was directly pushed to the ground by several people. His manly bravery was gone, and he hugged his leg, twitching hard on the ground.

Zhao Gang was still in good physical condition and ran over in a flash. Ahead of him, players from both sides were already pushing each other. Zhao Gang rushed over and pushed Hwang Hee-chan, who was blocking him, to the ground, breaking into the center of the storm.

He took a look and was relieved. The Dragon team wasn't trying to break up the fight, only fighting back.

Although their skills weren't great and they usually drove luxury cars and dated models, they were still reliable at critical moments.

Dense drumbeats rang out in the stands, the cheers of the home fans.

There were also uniform national curses and curses.

"Kill them!"

"Kill those little Koreans!!!"

"Zhao Gang, kick them in the crotch!!"

"Beat them to death!"

The referee, assistant referees, and even security guards quickly arrived at the scene, trying to separate the players from both sides.

Zhao Gang looked at the indignant South Korean players who still wanted to fight and really wanted to knock them all down with one punch each.

Zheng Zhi stood aside, panting heavily. He rushed the fastest just now, which Zhao Gang didn't expect. This old captain ran the whole game, and now he was still at the forefront of the fight. Not bad.

Soon, the referee showed cards in succession, and Zhao Gang, Zheng Zhi, and Chi Dongyuan each received a yellow card.

Boos rang out throughout the stadium. Why?

They caused trouble, committed malicious fouls, and yet we got more yellow cards?

Zhao Gang kept communicating with the referee, his eyes almost popping out.

Fouling was one thing, and kicking Zhang Linpeng down was understandable, but he kicked him after Zhang Linpeng fell. Wasn't giving him a red card going too far?

You referee, you won't be able to leave Changsha Stadium today.

Changsha, this group of fans from Changsha, often kill people, aren't you afraid?

The referee listened to the voice coming from the VAR and exchanged a few words with the linesman.

Then he nodded, walked to Chi Dongyuan, canceled the yellow card, and directly took out a red card.

Chi Dongyuan spread his hands, saying he did nothing!

I was just pressing normally, why are you giving me a red card?

The referee pointed to the outside of the field, telling him to leave quickly and not waste time, as they were still three goals behind!

"That was indeed a red card action. Chi Dongyuan is still pretending to be innocent! This kind of additional action after a foul, it would be lucky if he isn't suspended for a few more games!"

"Zhao Gang is still communicating with the referee now, which is rare in the past, almost never happened. He really doesn't like communicating with strangers. His change in personality is really significant!"

"Yes, Zhao Gang will definitely be the dual captain of the national team and the club in the future. Now he is also working hard to change, to communicate with his teammates and the referee.

This is inevitable.

It seems that he himself is very eager to take on this responsibility, which is very good news for the national team and the club!"

The game resumed.

The South Korean team, with one less player, also lost their temper. Now they are losing the game and losing people. If there is another conflict and another player is sent off, then they don't need to play the next few World Cup qualifiers.

A red card not only means being sent off in the current game, but a straight red card also results in a three-game suspension.

Chi Dongyuan's red card will not only affect this game but also affect Stielike's lineup in the future.

If a few more players are sent off, the next few World Cup qualifiers will be full of crises.

Beep!!

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and Lippi smiled and kept clapping.

Why weren't a few more sent off?

Well done, Zhang Linpeng.

This game not only defeated the South Korean team but also made them lose their sportsmanship and show their true colors.

Sure enough, the South Koreans are just like that.

They can't afford to lose.

Without the help of the referee, let alone a European powerhouse like Italy, the Dragon team can beat you three to zero.

Dinner, we're treating the whole team to dinner tonight!

Lippi kept nodding, and he didn't shake hands with Stielike either.

Coaching the South Korean national team can't be a good thing either.

The South Korean team walked towards the player tunnel dejectedly, and the Dragon players on the field kept reaching out to respond to the enthusiastic cheers of the fans in the stadium.

With two wins, the Dragon team has narrowed the gap with the South Korean team to only three points.

The key is that the fighting spirit shown by the Dragon team in these two games, if not a complete transformation, is definitely a new look.

Lippi's presence allows them to steadily suppress their opponents tactically.

He promoted Zhao Gang and said more than once in interviews that Zhao Gang is the core of this national team and that all the players on the field should take him as an example and serve him.

These words may make Zhao Gang a target, but it is indeed the best way.

Perhaps some national team players are not convinced, but on the surface, they must all rally around Zhao Gang and dare not even think of isolating him.

The traditional Chinese ways of interpersonal relationships are not working in this national team right now.

After the game, Yu Dabao, the scorer of the opening goal, said a few words in an interview.

"Um... we did play a little tight at the beginning because this game was crucial, a do-or-die battle. In fact, we didn't play as well as we did in training at the beginning. Fortunately, Zhao Gang kept encouraging me, telling me not to be distracted. During that corner kick attack, he winked at me. I understood and ran to the right place and scored a goal.

After that, I relaxed.

I hope we can do our best and play well in the remaining games."
