101. Ginger is still old and spicy

It should be said that Lippi's substitution was completely unexpected by Zhang Sheng. According to Zhang Sheng's idea, Evergrande's back line was so severely suppressed by Wen Kai. Evergrande should pay more attention to the defense issues. Unexpectedly, Lippi did the opposite and directly strengthened the offense in the frontcourt. However, while Lippi strengthened the offense, his offense against Longteng was also even more severe.

Because Qin Sheng's appearance can liberate Huang Bowen's offensive ability while also limiting Mahrez's offense.

When it comes to Qin Sheng, everyone thinks of him as "professor" who knows eight languages. And this rumor is very evil: "He scolded An Zhenhuan in Korean and was sent off; he discussed the law enforcement dimensions with the Bahrain referee; he was in love with Muric and Eshen; he was in love with Conca, an Argentine in the Spanish department; he could speak Italian and guide the country with Lippi; he heard that the Club World Cup was going to play Bayern, so he secretly signed up for the German class with the bonus." In fact, many of them were just rumors.

However, Qin Sheng did help Evergrande this season. In the second round of the AFC AFC final, the tense atmosphere on the court was almost suffocating. If Evergrande lost another goal in the opponent's final desperate counterattack, it might lose the final championship. In the 9th minute, Lippi chose to substitute, Qin Sheng went on! Substitute the AFC mVp Muric.

Facts proved that this substitution played a very obvious role. In the last 3 minutes of injury time, Qin Sheng successfully made the game fragmented. In the dispute with the opponent, Er Fc's assistant coach was also expelled from the referee for being out of control due to his emotions. As the referee sounded the final whistle, the score was frozen at 1-1. Evergrande's total score in two rounds was 3-3, and he won the AFC championship with his away goal advantage.

After the game, netizens began to summarize the performance of Evergrande players in this game. Although they were substitutes, Qin Sheng was still supported by powerful voices as a hero who won the championship. A considerate netizen summarized Qin Sheng's performance in these 3 minutes: "At the last moment, he played against the opponent's 7 people on the bench and successfully sent off an opponent's coach. In total, Qin Sheng wasted 2 minutes of saliva in 3 minutes."

In fact, in addition to these jokes, Qin Sheng, who is also known as one of the five most evil people in Chinese football because he is often scolded for making big moves on the court, is still very powerful. His frontal defense ability is still very good, and Qin Sheng is also very smart. Don’t think that he only has brute force. Qin Sheng is particularly sensitive to the pressure on defense. Whenever there is a bad trend, he will take the initiative to make tactical fouls. This is also the reason why he is often scolded by fans.

After Qin Sheng came on the court, the defense on the left side he was responsible for suddenly became much stronger. When facing Mahrez's not very strong body, Qin Sheng's physical ability to confront is still played a certain role.

At the same time, Lippi asked Feng Junyan to play on the left winger and Zhang Sheng did not expect. After all, Feng Junyan basically mainly played on the left forward. Lippi allowed his position to move forward first to avoid the defensive pressure brought by Mahrez's breakthrough, and at the same time he could use his accurate running advantages to cooperate with Conka. In addition, he had the ability to cross from the bottom, which could bring a lot of threats to the Longteng team's penalty area.

Qin Sheng's defense also reduced the defensive pressure of midfielder Zhao Xuyang. Zhao Xuyang had more time to entangle with Ivo, and Huang Bowen could use his spare time to connect with Conca, so that Conca could be activated.

Sure enough, after the second half began, Evergrande slowly reversed some passive situations in the first half, and the offense began to play more orderly.

Shen Fangjian also sighed: "Coach Lippi's substitutions and adjustments are really great. The two simple substitutions have made Evergrande's situation much better on the court. He is worthy of being the world's top coach."

Xu Yang first agreed to Shen Fangjian and said: "That's true. Qin Sheng's appearance and Feng Junyan's top pitch have indeed made Evergrande's performance improve greatly." But Xu Yang also expressed his concerns next, "But Qin Sheng's defensive moves are always an old problem. He can still persist now. When Mahrezdo breaks through a few times, his chance of taking cards will be much higher. After all, today's referee is very strict. Feng Junyan's words, he should not have much chance in the face of Shu Jun's defense."

However, Evergrande soon proved Lippi's success in substitution with his actual performance.

In the 14th minute of the second half, Ivo made a mistake in the cooperation between midfield and Mahrez. This ball was another success in the joint defense between Qin Sheng, Zhao Xuyang and Sun Xiang. Ivo was too sticky after receiving Mahrez's ball in the frontcourt, which caused it to be cut off. After Zhao Xuyang got the ball, he handed it directly to Huang Bowen. Although Lin Feng came over to press, his defense was obviously not as successful as Gao Jun's side. Huang Bowen directly hit a straight pass in the middle.

Feng Junyan, who came on as a substitute in the second half, had a very good running position. He scored the ball on the left side of the penalty area and then shot hard on the upper corner of the goal. This ball well reflects Feng Junyan's ability to run. Although this constant shot obviously brought some luck, this was also an opportunity he created himself.

Feng Junyan's goal completely made the entire celestial body boil, because Evergrande is only one goal away from now. As long as one more goal is scored, Evergrande can win the score. Then, with Evergrande's experience in controlling the game, the final victory must be biased towards Evergrande.

Zhang Sheng was speechless about the goal conceding. He was indeed too conservative and had too few contact points in the frontcourt, which resulted in Ivo having to take a few more steps after getting the ball until his teammates ran to the position before passing. It was this little mistake that led to his team's concealment. It seemed that he was still suppressed by Lippi in tactical terms. It was time to make adjustments, otherwise it would be more difficult to play.

And I took it for granted. There was still a big problem with Lin Feng's connection in the midfield organization. I thought I could play that position with good technical ability, but now I realized that the ability to play by different players' sense of position is still very different. Seeing this, Zhang Sheng asked Gao Jun on the bench: "There is still half an hour left in the second half. Can you persist in physical fitness?"

"It's definitely no problem, coach, the whole game is not possible. I guarantee there is no problem in 30 minutes." Gao Jun's answer was very straightforward.

"Okay, go and warm up quickly and replace Lin Feng later." Zhang Sheng said.

Gao Jun immediately took off his substitute clothes and responded: "Okay." Then he started to warm up on the sidelines.

In addition to sighing at this goal, Shin Fangjian also sighed: "Coach Lippi's substitution is really magical. Two simple substitutions, one person's successful steal and one person's goal, can be said to have changed the situation on the court in an instant. He is truly the world's top coach."

Xu Yang also said: "In the coach position, many old coaches have very rich coaching experience, and they proved that the saying is 'Ginger is still the hottest old one'."

After kicking off again, Evergrande's momentum completely aroused. Qin Sheng and Zhao Xuyang's desperate fight and sweep in the midfield made Longteng's team have no chance to attack for a while. Conca's condition was completely activated.

In the 16th minute of the second half, Gao Lin received a second pass from Kong Ka's in the middle of the penalty area. Wang Peng and Lu Zhihui's joint blocking allowed the ball to fly out of the penalty area. Two minutes later, Kong Ka's 45-degree diagonal pass Gao Lin beat Wang Peng from the right side of the penalty area to head the ball to the top of the goal. The next 22nd minute, Feng Junyan's left-foot shot from the top of the arc was blocked by Shu Jun. Jin Yingquan, who was in front, fell to the ground and shot with his left foot low on the far corner. The ball rubbed against the right post and missed slightly.

Faced with wave after wave of offensives from Evergrande, the Longteng team's defense line is like a small boat in the stormy sea, and it may completely overturn at any time.

At this time, Gao Jun was finally able to play. Zhang Sheng quickly raised his hand and signaled that Longteng team would make a substitution.

Unfortunately, there was another unexpected situation on the field at this time.

After Longteng was besieged continuously, Mahrez, who was relatively mediocre in this game, decided to make a comeback. After getting Shu Jun's pass, facing Qin Sheng's defense, he began to make a firm breakthrough. First, he stepped on a bicycle in front of Qin Sheng, and then suddenly passed the ball to Ivo next to him. Ivo also understood the ball and picked Zhao Xuyang, preparing to play a two-for-two with Mahrez.

It should be said that this pass is very imaginative. He just passed Zhao Xuyang and could allow Mahrez to continue driving forward with his head. But just as Mahrez was heading to push the ball with his head to make a breakthrough, Qin Sheng raised his leg high and also flirted with the ball. Then his foot kicked directly on Mahrez's face. Fortunately, the kick was not very heavy, but Mahrez was immediately bleeding.

Ma Ning rushed over and gave Qin Sheng a yellow card. If he hadn't seen Qin Sheng's not playing hard and had his feet closed, the ball would have sent him a red card. But Mahrez obviously could not continue the game, because after Li Xiang, the team doctor of Longteng team, went up to check, he immediately waved his hand off the field, saying that he had to go out for treatment and that he had to substitute. Because Li Xiang's consciousness was a little blurred when he was checking Mahrez, Li Xiang drew a few numbers in a stroke, and Mahrez did not answer correctly.

Li Xiang immediately thought of the concussion injury. Next, he found that Qin Sheng's kick was completely kicked on the bridge of his nose, and Mahrez's nose must have been broken.

Zhang Sheng was very worried on the sidelines because Mahrez was his sharpest sharp knife in the frontcourt. If he was seriously injured, it would be really a big trouble. Even if he could defeat Guangzhou Evergrande, it would be difficult to play the final of the FA Cup.

However, the current situation on the field forced Zhang Sheng to take urgent measures. Zhang Sheng had to replace Mahrez with Gao Jun, allowing Lin Feng to return to the right forward position. (To be continued.)
