K1 League: Life is hard! Jeonbuk sniper An Yang

Our headline today is a game in the 25th round of the K1 League that just ended! In the 20 league games, Jeonbuk Hyundai has relied on not only hard strength, but more on luck! In a game that just ended tonight, they finally sniped FC An Yang 2-1 with a mercury-like attack while they were completely passive in the second half of the home court, successfully achieving a record of 21 unbeaten games. In the second half, it was able to "magically" resolve the crisis in the face of goals conceded many times. It's really hard!

In this game, Poyette continued to line up a 433 formation, intending to suppress the opponent through offense, while the opponent's strategy is to take the lead, and the layout of 532 in the half-time is intended to strengthen defense. Soon, Jeonbuk took advantage of his strength to score, and Park Jin-seok's long-range shot directly penetrated his opponent. But in addition, Jeonbuk cannot find a good opportunity in the opponent's defense three zones, and his opponent's targeted arrangements against players such as Kompano are also very well placed. At the end of the half, Jeonbuk led by one goal.

Entering the second half, An Yang suddenly changed his face. The appearance of Yageo, new players Yucic and others completely changed the team's original thinking. An Yang began to completely suppress Jeonbuk's two wingers, and even pressed Jeonbuk's goalkeeper at high positions. They first used the cross pass to create Thomas' goal, and then began to oppress Jeonbuk's backcourt players from the cross. In such panic, Song Fangen almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, his second reaction was very timely and resolved his opponent's shot. Then, An Yang hit the goal frame twice, and Yucic's must-have goal hit Jeonbuk's left post and flew out, and Jeonbuk escaped again. If you survive the disaster, you will have good luck. Jeonbuk took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and Kwon Chang-ho passed the ball to the goal. Thiago alertly shot the ball to the goal, and Lee Seung-woo scored the ball, 2-1! Jeonbuk is back in the lead. After leading the game, Jeonbuk started to defend the backcourt and never gave him a chance to play, keeping the score of 2-1 to the end. In the match against Gwangju and Anyang, Jeonbuk was suppressed by his opponent in the second half, but he didn't lose the ball and finally completed the sniper kill! Jeonbuk this season is like a god-support, and it seems that they must be the champion of the league.

In another game, Kim Jinsu of FC Seoul and Cessinia of Daegu FC respectively staged a good show of one goal and one assist, and in the end the two sides shook hands 2-2 to make peace. Kim Byung-soo's unbeatable record of coaching Daegu is still continuing!

Both left! Son Heung-min and Liang Min Ge also want to leave Tottenham Hotspur

A week ago, when Son Heung-min and Liang Min Ge arrived at Incheon International Airport in South Korea, jointly raised the South Korean flag to signal to local fans, who would have thought that in less than a week, both of them would have left Tottenham Hotspur. After Son Heung-min joined the Los Angeles FC, news came from the UK today that in order to seek a new season's chance to play, another Korean player, Liang Min-ge, is also going to leave Tottenham. His destination is the Portsmouth Club of the English Championship. In the winter of 2025, Liang Minge officially joined Tottenham Hotspur, but the team did not get the use of coach Postkoglu, and finally chose to loan the English Championship Club QPR for half a year. In half a year, Xiao Liang gradually played from a substitute to a main player, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist in 14 games.

After the return of this season, although Tottenham changed coaches, the pressure on competition from the wing was still very high. In order to seek opportunities to play and see the possibility of participating in the World Cup, Liang Minge chose to leave. I hope that this time his choice will allow him to regain his killer's true nature.

European Stadium: The two central defenders were mixed, Lee Hanfan won, Lee Kangxi lost

Finally, let's take a look at the performance of Korean players on the European stage. Last night this morning, the first leg of the third round of the 2025-26 Europa League qualifiers kicked off. The Danish Super League powerhouse played for Lee Hanfan and Cao Guicheng challenged Norway's Frederick Stah away. As a result, the team won 3-1 away and took the lead in the first leg. In this game, Lee Hanfan played as a right center back and performed well on the offensive and defensive end, especially before the end of stoppage time, he almost assisted his teammates in scoring. Unfortunately, his teammates were judged invalid first. Although I received a yellow card, it is understandable to consider that it was blocking the opponent's goal on the defensive end. Objectively speaking, the opponent is weak, and it is not a big problem to win the opponent and advance to the Europa League play-off when returning to home court. Cao Guicheng continues to miss the big list, and it seems that it will take some time to recover.

And Li Kangxi was not so lucky. In the third round of the UEFA Cup qualifiers away against the Czech League One team, Ostrafal, the Vienna and Austria he played for experienced a "roller coaster" game. With one goal in advance, the team was scored two goals in a long shot by the opponent before the end of the half. In the second half, Li Kangxi did not tackle far after tackle in the backcourt, and the opponent took the ball to organize the offense and won another goal. In the subsequent game, Vienna and Austria caught up. Li Kangxi made a military contribution in the team's third ball. Facing the opponent's defense, he deliberately missed the ball to his teammates behind him. The teammates launched a counterattack by passing the ball to equalize the score. In the 80th minute, the team was scored again by the opponent using a set piece. Although Li Kangxi jumped backward, his teammates behind him did not defend the opponent, allowing the opponent to easily head the ball to overtake the score. In the end, Vienna and Austria lost 3-4. After the game, the fans angrily called the team goalkeeper Radlinger a "bad thing", but for Li Kangxi, he received a yellow card in the whole game and the team lost the ball, which left him with regret. In the second leg of the game, they still need to continue working hard to play until the playoffs on August 22.
