At this moment, the starting lineups of both teams were immediately displayed on the big screen of the Sports City Stadium.

China National Team U20 starting lineup:

Formation:4231

Forward: Li Xing

Midfielder: Qin Yin, Shen Xiao (C), Wen Shuai

Yao Qin,Tan Lang

Defenders: Zhou Jun, Fu Yongqiao, Deng Li, Li Jun

Goalkeeper:Huang Jian

In this game, head coach Gao Qiang still continued the starting lineup from the previous game. The 4231 formation means a tactical balance of offense and defense.

After a while, the starting lineup of the South Korean team U20 was also displayed.

Formation: 442 (parallel positions)

Forwards: Jeon Se-jin, Oh Se-hun

Midfielder: Jung Hao-jin, Lee Kang-in, Ko Jae-hyun, Kim Su-yoon

Defenders: Lee Jae-yi, Kim Hyun-woo, Lee Ji-sul, Hwang Tae-hyun

Goalkeeper: Li Guangyuan

The South Korean team is in an ordinary 442 parallel position, which shows that they are very confident about winning this game with Lee Kang-in's return.

"Beep!"

At this time, with the referee's whistle, the quarter-finals between the Chinese team and the South Korean team officially started.

The game started with the South Korean team. Under the organization and leadership of midfielder Lee Kang-in, their offense was vigorous and orderly.

Although Shen Xiao is full of "power" at this moment, he is not in a hurry to defend or attack at this time.

Shen Xiao was not in a hurry to score goals at this time. He now wanted to see the "quality" of this talented player Li Kangren first.

After the game lasted for more than ten minutes, Shen Xiao became a little bored.

Because in the competition with the South Korean U20 team, even if the opponent tried their best, they could still draw with the young players of the National Youth Team.

Regarding the unruly Lee Kang-in, Shen Xiao felt that the only thing he said that was correct was that Lee Kang-in was indeed far inferior to Sun Heung-min.

At this moment, Shen Xiao, who was already bored on the court, decided to score a goal first.

So, after a successful steal, Shen Xiao used a very beautiful through ball and accurately passed it to Li Xing in front.

After Li Xing received Shen Xiao's pass, he felt comfortable!

Because this pass is simply a "nanny ball", at this moment Li Xing only needs to dribble the ball forward a few steps and he can shoot directly.

But just when Li Xing was ecstatic and ready to score the first goal of the game, suddenly a figure flashed past him quickly.

"Snapped!"

At this time, Li Xing felt a sharp pain in the back of his left calf!

It turned out that the defender Li Zhisu of the Korean team caught up with Li Xing, and then he kicked Li Xing's left calf fiercely with the spikes on his feet.

Li Xing was in pain. The severe pain in his feet made him unable to stand. After a few seconds, Li Xing fell to the ground in pain.

"Beep!"

At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded, and then signaled the Korean team to commit a defensive foul in the backcourt.

The referee immediately ran to the South Korean team's defender Li Jisol, and then solemnly took out a yellow card for him!

At the same time, Shen Xiao and his teammates hurried to Li Xing's side to check on his current injury.

"How about it, can you still persist?"

Seeing Li Xing falling to the ground in pain and holding his left leg, Shen Xiao quickly asked with concern.

"Captain Shen, that guy on the opposite side kicked... so damn hard!"

"Hiss! It seems like... I can't continue to compete anymore..."

At this time, Li Xing's expression was distorted because of the pain.

At this time, Shen Xiao and his teammates could clearly see that Li Xing's calf was red and swollen, and bloodshot eyes were slowly oozing out from where he was kicked.

"Captain Shen, the opponent's defender must have kicked Li Xing on purpose. Look at how he kicked someone like this!"

"That's right. Brother Xing was kicked like this. This is not a kick. This is clearly a kick!"

"Li Xing is about to have a one-on-one situation. There are many ways to commit a tactical foul, but this kind of intentional fouling is really too much!"

…

At this time, the teammates looked at Li Xing who fell to the ground in pain, and they all said indignantly.

Shen Xiao looked at Li Xing's wounds at this moment, and then nodded heavily.

"How's the injury? Do you need to make a substitution for the Chinese team?"

At this time, the referee came to Li Xing and asked Shen Xiao and others.

"We need a replacement! And we need a stretcher!"

At this time, Shen Xiao immediately answered to the referee.

Upon hearing this, the referee immediately made a gesture to the third referee off the court to indicate substitutions and medical staff coming on.

After a while, the medical staff quickly carried Li Xing out of the field on a stretcher, and then the head coach of the Chinese national team Gao Qiang replaced him with another forward Geng Changan.

"Referee, I think this ball should be punished as a foul by the opponent's defender for blocking the single-handed ball!"

"I think you should give the player a red card for the foul!"

At this time, Shen Xiao, as the captain on the field, came to the referee and actively complained about the foul.

"When your No. 9 (Li Xing) was fouled by the opponent's defender, he was not in a state where he would definitely score the ball with one shot!"

"And the location of the foul is still a long way from the goal, so I think a yellow card is more appropriate for the Korean team's tactical foul!"

At this time, facing Shen Xiao's questioning, the referee patiently explained to him.

After Shen Xiao received the referee's answer, he had no choice but to accept the penalty result.

Because the game only lasted less than twenty minutes, Shen Xiao also knew that it was very difficult for the referee to send out a red card.

After all, as long as the foul is not excessive, the possibility of the referee giving a red card is very low.

At this time, Li Xing was carried off the field to receive treatment from the team doctor, and Geng Changan took his place and now served as the forward of the Chinese team.

At this moment, the Chinese team lost its main forward, but the players of the Korean team looked at Shen Xiao and others with amusement on their faces.

Li Kangren looked at Shen Xiao with disdain, and then slowly directed his teammates to form a human wall.

Since the foul was committed by the South Korean team, after the game resumed, it was the Chinese team that took the free kick.

The free kick was very close, only about 30 meters away, so there were players from the Korean team standing near the penalty area line.

At this moment, the "human wall" in front of the Korean team's penalty area has been completed.

Shen Xiao expressionlessly placed the football in front of the wall, where Li Xing was fouled.

"Hey, that guy in front, please don't knock down the birds in the sky later!"

At this time, looking at Shen Xiao in front of him, Li Kangren inside the human wall suddenly laughed loudly.

"Hahahahaha!"

At this time, there was another burst of ridicule among the players of the Korean team.

"Beep!"

At this time, the referee blew the whistle, indicating that Shen Xiao could take the free kick.

Facing the banter from the Korean team members, Shen Xiao did not make any response.

After taking a few steps back towards the position of the football, Shen Xiao immediately took off and kicked the football vigorously.

"Boom!"

At this time, the football and Shen Xiao's boots made a loud friction sound.

The football quickly crossed the "human wall" where the Korean team was standing, drew a beautiful arc, and rushed directly towards the goal.

At this moment, the Korean players also jumped high at the first moment, but this action seemed very futile.

"Bang! - swish!"

The next two sounds sounded, and the football bounced directly into the net after grazing the crossbar of the goal.

The ball went in!

At this moment, the football in the net is still rolling.

The football immediately touched the inside of the crossbar of the goal. Due to Shen Xiao's excessive strength, the entire goal frame was still "buzzing" at this moment.
