In the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, Jordan played against South Korea, before the start of the game, the head coach of the Jordanian team, Amuta, believed that the current South Korean team was completely different from the group stage, and the mental attributes became stronger. The two sides drew 2-2 in the group stage and it can be said that they are evenly divided. The South Korean team is really shaky at the back, conceding goals at the back every game. Therefore, it is not that the Jordanian team does not have a chance to defeat the opponent, provided that it withstands the attack of the South Korean team.
In fact, the reason why the South Korean team defeated the Saudi Arabian team and the Australian team in a row this timeIt is because both teams are the first to score and then adopt a defensive counterattack strategy, which gives the initiative of attack to the South Korean team. Therefore, in these two knockout matches, the South Korean team equalized in stoppage time when the score was behind, so as to win in extra time or penalty shootouts.
If the opponent does not shrink the defense after scoring first, South Korea may not be able to tie the score in the final moments. It has to be said that the South Korean team won the final victory with a super physical advantage, because in the two knockout matches, the South Korean team tied the score at the last moment when the opponent's concentration and physical fitness declined.
Saudi Arabia and Australia had the advantage in regular time, otherwise they would not have been able to score first. This shows that the South Korean team's back line is quite unstable, so the opponent will be the first to score. It's just that after these two teams took the lead, they wanted to play defensive counterattacks and completely cede the offensive initiative to their rivals.
And the South Korean team left fans with the impression that the offensive concentration was high, setting off round after round of offensive climaxes like waves. In fact, it was the rivals who gave up the advantage of the midfield and the initiative in attackingThis led to being suppressed by the South Korean team. Especially in this kind of matchup between strong teams, it is particularly important to choose what kind of game strategy.
The South Korean team also has a clear advantage, and they pay more attention to physical confrontation, which is something that the Japanese team needs to strengthen. The Japanese team still has shortcomings in physical confrontation, but the South Korean team is stronger among Asian teams in this regard, which is also one of the killer features of the Korean team. However, the South Korean team's attack was average, and although they reached the semi-finals, they drew with their opponents in regular time.
South Korea only won against Bahrain and drew all of their matches. Therefore, the Jordan team may not have no chance to win, if the use of game strategy needs to be different from other teams, if the score is ahead, do not be conservative. Jordan's ability to break down the flanks is excellent and they have to keep putting pressure on the opposition defence in regulation time.
The suspension of South Korea's defender Kim Min-jae in this semi-final is bad news for the South Korean team. The South Korean team's backline was already unstable, and it was difficult to avoid the main central defender being suspended and conceding goals. Once the first goal is conceded,The South Korean team has to use offense to suppress the opponent, and it is the game strategy of the South Korean team to replace defense with offense.
Jordan's Tamari and Ulwan are the core players of the team, and the performance of these two players is particularly important. South Korea's star Son Heung-min can continue to explode in this semi-finalIt can really change the final direction of the game. Son Heung-min has indeed matured, no longer the young player who cried after losing, and now he has grown into the captain of the team.
Therefore, this game is also a contest between the core players of the two sides, but the South Korean team has more offensive players, and Lee Gang-in's play is also very important. South Korea's biggest advantage is their tireless running on the field, so even if Jordan scores first, they have to prevent being scored in the second half or extra time.
The South Korean team had to drag almost every game to overtimeBut in the end, it was the South Korean team that had the last laugh, not so much the opponent that the South Korean team eliminated, but the South Korean team dragged down the opponent with a strong physical advantage. The overall strength of the Jordanian team is not as good as that of South Korea, and they have also reached the semi-finals of the Asian Cup for the first time, which has already set a career record.
South Korea have become the favourites to win the Asian Cup, and the South Korean team is favored by fans after the Japanese team is eliminated. Jordan has played South Korea six times recently, with three draws, three losses and one win, so Jordan wants to beat South Korea in this game, and since they have reached the semi-finals, they certainly don't want to be the backdrop for the opponent.
In fact, the Jordan team is also a magical team, scoring 10 goals in five games, but it is difficult to strengthen the back line against the strong South Korean team, and it is indeed difficult to achieve 90 minutes without conceding a goal. However, Jordan's midfielder Rushdan returned from injury in this game, and his return will enhance Jordan's midfield control.
Perhaps the biggest instability for the current South Korean team comes from the referee. Hassan, a referee from the United Arab Emirates, will be the referee for this matchThis referee is very familiar to the national football team and fans, and this is a referee who likes to influence the direction of the game. In the group stage match between Malaysia and Jordan, Hassan awarded a penalty to Jordan.
In the match between Australia and Indonesia, Hassan directly took out 6 red cards, which was very unfavorable for the South Korean team. Especially in the process of the Jordan team's attack, the South Korean team's defensive players must not intercept too much, otherwise there is a real possibility of being awarded a penalty.
Sometimes the referee's decision will also affect the direction of the game, and the South Korean team must establish the advantage of the game as soon as possible, once the Jordan team bites the score and drags it to extra time or a penalty shootout, the final result is really bad**.
