43. Easy
Pato, who completed the assist, was completely immersed in the joy of football at this time. After Zou Weijia scored, Pato jumped on Zou Weijia as soon as possible.
The big center, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, seemed extremely excited and ran to Zhang Sheng with Pato on his back. Other players also gathered around him to congratulate him.
Shen Fangjian also said: "Young player Zou Weijia has performed very well this season. In his limited playing time, he has scored 2 league goals and three AFC goals. Such a performance is an extremely beautiful report card for him who is less than 20 years old."
Longteng's goal made Seoul FC completely lose its conservative mind. In the 3-5-2 formation, except for the dragged Che Duri, all other players were basically invested in the offense. Such an open offense rarely appeared in the AFC field.
In such a battle, the players in the frontcourt played happily, but the players in the backcourt seemed a little swaying.
In the 12th minute of the first half, Molina used his experience to cut off Tao Wentao's dribbling, and then handed over a beautiful pass to Zheng Zuguo on the right. However, after getting the ball, Zheng Zuguo, who was unpredictable, shot out of an anti-aircraft gun.
Soon, Longteng's team launched a counterattack. Yu Bo used his physical advantage to force Seoul FC's foreign aid Santos, and then passed the ball to the penalty area with a cross from the baseline. Zou Weijia, who had been waiting in the penalty area, had a beautiful header, but unfortunately he was slightly straight and was pushed out of the crossbar by goalkeeper Jinlong.
This back and forth scene of impact and mutual explosion made Longteng fans who came to watch this game excited. After all, everyone likes to watch games like this.
However, the open game also means many mistakes. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Longteng's defense made an unstoppable mistake. When Du Zhenyu faced Yoon Joo-tae, he recklessly kicked him to the ground. The referee decisively awarded a penalty to Seoul FC.
As the old senior of the team, Molina got the opportunity to take the penalty kick. As in history, although Zhou Wei saved the wrong direction, Molina pursued the angle too much and the ball missed the right post.
The fans of Longteng team made a burst of kind laughter. Seeing Molina missing a penalty, Choi Longsoo angrily hammered the partition of the coach's seat with his fist. This shot was also caught by the broadcasted shot. When performing slow-motion replay, he played it again, which was too heartbreaking.
Molina, who lost the penalty kick, also seemed a little disappointed. In the following game, his statement was greatly missed, and Longteng once again took the initiative in the midfield.
However, Yoon Joo-tae showed his excellent condition. He found a gap in front of the penalty area again. A beautiful long shot was pushed by Zhou Wei with his fingertips and slightly missed out of the goal.
Seoul FC, which won the corner kick, sent high-quality balls continuously, but their high-ball tactics were controlled tightly by the two high points Du Zhenyu and McGerwen. They both rushed out of the bottom line at the first point.
After nearly thirty minutes of fierce attack, the players on both sides could no longer hold on and the pace of the game slowed down slightly.
Just when everyone thought the first half was over, Seoul FC suddenly exerted force after forty minutes. This tactic of attacking at the end of the half was a tactic that Japanese and Korean teams had tried and tested against Chinese Super League teams, because they did better in terms of physical fitness and game concentration.
Du Zhenyu obviously has no such experience. When the Seoul FC player suddenly exerted his strength, after more than ten minutes of slow-paced game, he failed to keep up with the pace of the Seoul FC player.
When Park Rongyu passed the ball to Yoon Joo-tae's position, Du Zhenyu failed to follow Yoon Joo-tae's run, allowing him to successfully grab the spot in the penalty area. The ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal and scored a goal for Seoul FC.
At the end of the first half, the 1:1 score was frozen on the scoreboard.
During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng specifically reminded Du Zhenyu: "During the game, you must concentrate. Japanese and Korean teams like to play poor rhythm, and you must concentrate at all times."
Du Zhenyu, who performed a little abnormal in the first half, nodded quickly and said, "I understand."
When Shen Fangjian thought Zhang Sheng would replace Du Zhenyu in the midfield, he was also speechless when he saw the Longteng team lineup in the second half: "Du Zhenyu's performance in the first half was simply a disaster. He gave the opponent a penalty kick and missed another shot from the opponent, resulting in the loss of the ball. Coach Zhang Sheng did not make any adjustments."
On the other hand, Choi Yongsoo, who was in the FC Seoul, seemed extremely decisive. He replaced Gao Yaohan with veteran Molina, who performed poorly in the first half, hoping to use Gao Yaohan's wing breakthrough to find opportunities.
Gao Yaohan, who had just appeared on the court, stared at Du Zhenyu's position and broke through several times, but it was easily resolved by Du Zhenyu. Next, he focused on the position of the 17-year-old young player Xiang Tiange.
He thought he could bully the children and was setback again. Although Xiang Tiange was young, he was very brave to do things. Gao Yaohan's two consecutive breakthroughs were decisively forced out of the sideline by Xiang Tiange, especially when Gao Yaohan wanted to use his speed to break through, he found that the other party's speed was faster than him.
Xiang Tiange quickly pulled the ball down and left the ball beautifully, then quickly got up and threw it into the attack.
Xiang Tiange's series of beautiful actions made all the fans of the audience applaud him.
Shen Fangjian also said: "This young player is amazing. At the age of 17, he plays so calmly. The player reserves of Longteng team are really amazing."
Seeing that he could not easily break through the defense of Longteng team, Choi Longsoo made another adjustment in the 53 minutes. He replaced Santos, a foreign aid who was bullied by Yu Bo.
The substitution effect this time was very good. As soon as Shen Dihe came on the court, Yu Bo found a breakthrough point. He used his flexible figure and fast speed to avoid Yu Bo's body squeezing, and then passed the ball very beautifully to find Yin Zhutai in the penalty area.
When Yoon Joo-tae thought he could still find a good opportunity in Du Zhenyu, his shot was blocked by Du Zhenyu with his body and Zhou Wei also came over and patted Du Zhenyu happily, thanking him for this blockade.
When Seoul FC made no consecutive adjustments, they were hit again.
In the 60th minute of the second half, Yao Tian pulled to the right and made a cross. Seoul FC's right center defender Kim Dong-woo actually made a mistake in stopping the ball at the front of the penalty area. How could Pato miss such an opportunity? His explosive power is far stronger than other players. Before all the players reacted, he rushed forward and shot, and the ball flew quickly to the ground. Seoul FC's old goalkeeper Kim Longda was too late to fall to the ground, and Pato's shot led the score again.
Although the game has more than 30 minutes to end, Pato's goal has completely lost the suspense of the game. If Seoul FC wants to qualify, it must score four goals in the next 30 minutes, and not allow Longteng to score. Such requirements have completely exceeded their ability.
Zhang Sheng also seemed extremely decisive. Shortly after Pato scored, he replaced him with Qiming, allowing Tao Wentao to play on the right, and also allowed Pato to come out and accept the applause of the fans.
Sure enough, when Pato came off the court, all the fans of Longteng team in Jiangcheng Sports Center stood up and gave him applause. After Pato raised both sides to respond, he once again gave the kiss to Lu Shuang in the fan box. Lu Shuang was applauding Pato hard at this time.
At this time, Seoul FC no longer wants to advance or not. Choi Yongsoo's only thing he wants to do now is to equalize the score away, otherwise it would be a very embarrassing thing to be killed at home and away.
After seeing Pato's departure, he also began to take a desperate bet and replaced Park Hee-sung with veteran Zheng Zuguo, who had just been replaced in the second half. That is to say, just after 60 minutes of the game, he used up all three substitutions. This unconventional move is crazy.
The players of Seoul FC seemed to be stimulated by Choi Yongsoo. They began to attack wildly. At this time, Du Zhenyu became the busiest player on the Longteng team's defense line.
Shen Fangjian also mentioned Du Zhenyu's name many times in his commentary, because he can always appear in the most dangerous area of the opponent's attack, and ended the opponent's attack through various physical confrontations, grabbing, blocking the position, blocking the gun hole, etc.
In the last few minutes of the game, even Shen Fangjian said embarrassedly: "I apologize for my words during the break. Coach Zhang Sheng is indeed awesome, and Du Zhenyu is indeed a good central defender worthy of training. If I want to select the best player in the second half, I will definitely vote for Du Zhenyu."
When the game came to stoppage time, Choi Yongsoo almost rushed to the court. He kept using the pressure gesture on the sidelines to make the Seoul FC players attack.
Zhang Sheng chose to substitution again to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. This time he replaced Rock Gill, who was back midfielder, and Zhang Hao was replaced.
After Rock Gill came off the court, Seoul FC attacked again. Yoon Jootae still looked for Du Zhenyu to replicate the previous goal. He dribbled the ball from the left side of the court, dribbled past Zhang Hao and Qi Ming continuously, and came to the top of the arc of the penalty area. The series of horizontal pulls were very beautiful, but when he was about to take a kick, Du Zhenyu got stuck in the position first. Yoon Jootae's kick was determined to shoot with a long shot under Du Zhenyu's impact.
The shot made the fans in the stands shout in unison: "Get the plane!"
Hearing the fans' jokes, Zhang Sheng almost laughed out loud. Next he did something very disgusting, which was to use the opportunity of the dead ball to substitution again.
In total, only three minutes of stoppage time, Zhang Sheng changed players twice. In fact, Seoul FC did not have much threat to Longteng's defense, but Zhang Sheng just wanted to use small means within this rule to run the opponent.
When Zhang Sheng replaced McGerwen with central defender Dawn, the game reached the final countdown, and the Longteng team now became a pure all-Chinese team on the court.
After Zhou Wei made a gesture to make everyone press on his big-foot goal, he did not. When the frontcourt player of Seoul FC got a little farther away, he handed the ball to Du Zhenyu who was retreating, and the Longteng team began to control the ball in his backcourt.
When the referee saw this scene, he was speechless and blew the whistle to the end of the game. The Longteng team defeated the opponent with a rotation lineup at his home court and successfully advanced to the next round of the AFC Champions League.
After the game, Choi Yong-soo was very dissatisfied with Zhang Sheng's various actions in the game, saying that Zhang Sheng completely violated the football match. As the winner, Zhang Sheng was completely unwilling to this. He said to his assistant coach He Lijun in private: "Don't pay attention to such a long-shot dog."
In the AFC Champions League match that ended at the same time as this game, the two teams in the Chinese Super League achieved different results.
Guangzhou Evergrande, who played at home, seemed to be stimulated by the loss to Longteng in the last league game. In the Tianhe Stadium in Guangzhou, Osaka Gamba goalkeeper Shinzhao picked up the ball from the net three times in embarrassment, and the corresponding one was the shocking cheers in the stadium. Guangzhou Evergrande defeated his opponent 3-0 at his home court. Goulart burst out his all his strength and scored twice, and Huang Bowen also scored a world wave.
In another game, Beijing Guoan, who had previously tied his opponent 1-1 away in the first leg, wasted the advantage he created and lost 0-1 to Jeonbuk Hyundai at home. In the final stage of the game, Zhou Ting, who was in a hot temper, fell to the ground and pedaled his opponent with both feet. The referee directly showed a red card and was sent out of the field. He could be said to have lost the game and lost.
The fans on the Internet laughed and said, "Gui An's fans, don't cry, wait for the next game, Longteng will help you get your face back."
There is a reason for fans to say this, because in the quarterfinals in August, Longteng will meet Jeonbuk Hyundai.
This game from Guangzhou Evergrande made the sound of guessing before the game that Cannavaro would be dismissed much less. Only Zhang Sheng knew that this was just the tranquility before the storm.
After playing this game, Zhang Sheng took time to meet Chen Zhuoyi and Shi Junjie. Regarding Zhang Sheng, the actual club discourse person before, two professional managers raised their concerns: "How to allocate the club's management power."
Zhang Sheng said his thoughts very directly: "I will be just a coach in the future. I will not interfere in the actual daily management of the club anymore. I am also planning to quit the position of deputy general manager of the club."
Hearing Zhang Sheng's personal promise, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. The company with a family business background was afraid that the family would intervene. Once they entered this vicious circle, internal friction would be extremely serious.
The two people who have received investigation and face-to-face communication from Zhang Zhijun have officially joined the Longteng Club this time.
After entering the role, Chen Zhuoyi and Shi Junjie began to provide advice for Zhang Sheng.
Their first question is when the club will go to Europe to acquire the club.
