72. There is still a chance

After the Longteng team's continuous attacks in the second half, the players' physical fitness reached a bottleneck, and their running began to slow down a bit.?

?

In fact, this is also a shortcoming of lower-level league teams. Although the Longteng team in the second league is famous for running a lot, pressing a lot, strong physical confrontation, and the pace of the game is fast, they really encountered a strong team in the second league. In terms of rhythm control and physical distribution, he still can't keep up with his opponent.

Even though Renhe and the team have been beaten by the Longteng team in the second half, the players of the Renhe team have become accustomed to this rhythm. The Longteng team has only encountered a few Chinese teams in the limited FA Cup, and they are all Even the teams ranked at the bottom are a bit overwhelming for the Longteng team. For example, after the game against Liaoning Hongyun, the Longteng team tied several games in a row in the league.

Therefore, after 75 minutes of the second half, it was the Longteng team that was in better shape on the field and was unable to keep up physically.

Zhang Sheng also discovered this problem very keenly. However, this problem cannot be solved overnight. We can only upgrade the team step by step and get used to the rhythm.

Liu Jianhong also observed the situation on the court: "Now the players of the Longteng team are a little unable to run. The previous ability to press the midfielder and Renhe is now reduced. There should be a physical bottleneck. This is also the biggest problem for low-level teams. It’s a weakness.”

Xu Yang also agreed with Liu Jianhong's statement: "It is true that the rhythm of the Longteng team in the second league is definitely not as fast as this game. Of course, this is also because it is the FA Cup final, and the rhythm is definitely faster than in ordinary Chinese games. Faster. In fact, the pace of competition in domestic leagues is already too slow. I have asked many players who have gone to Europe for trial training or played football. They mentioned to me that the biggest difference between China and the European leagues is two points. One is Confrontation, one is rhythm."

"Oh, the Longteng team has started to make substitutions. No. 13 Wen Kai replaced No. 11 Deng Qun. This is a matchup substitution. One forward is replaced with another forward. It seems that coach Zhang Sheng does not want to give up this game. The meaning of the game. Deng Qun's running distance exceeded 9,000 meters, and he also scored a goal. This 19-year-old youngster performed very well. The running distance of 9,000 meters in 8o minutes is also a lot, but I guess For this young player, this may be the game where he runs the most." Liu Jianhong also noticed the substitution request from the Longteng team on the sidelines.

In the 81st minute, Zhang Sheng replaced Deng Qun, who had reached the limit of his physical fitness, and asked Wen Kai to come on and let him retreat slightly to strengthen the midfield press and reduce Xu Mingyu's defensive pressure.

However, the experienced Gao Hongbo also keenly observed the Longteng team's weaknesses. He replaced Sun Xuhai with Li Kai to strengthen the attack on the right.

After Li Kai came on the field, he and Chen Jie on the right immediately began to strengthen the attack. Zhang Sheng also discovered Gao Hongbo's intention and quickly replaced Zhou Hai, who had been running up and down the whole game, and replaced him with Lu Zhihui.

However, Zhang Sheng's substitution did not save the situation for the team. In the 86th minute, Renhe team scored another goal to reverse the score.

In the 86th minute, during the midfield scramble, Gao Jun, who had been both offensive and defensive throughout the game, showed serious physical deficiencies. Yang Hao, who was holding the ball, used his physical advantage to poke the ball first. , after getting the ball, Yang Hao handed the ball to Li Kai who came up with an assist. Li Kai gave the ball to Li Chunyu. Li Chunyu did not dribble the ball in the midfield, but distributed it to Yu Hai on the left.

At this time, Yu Hai's skills and speed were reflected. He continuously changed directions on the left and broke into the penalty area directly, forming a one-man attack. Wang Peng, who had slightly inferior speed, was passed by Yu Hai and had to pull Yu Hai down.

The referee rushed over decisively and gave Wang Peng a red card and awarded a penalty kick. As the captain on the field, Wang Peng was also very helpless. After asking the referee to no avail, he still gave the captain's armband to Liu Xing and angrily sighed.

Ended the scene.

Yu Hai, who was responsible for taking the penalty kick, made it in one fell swoop. The Longteng team was defeated 1:2.

Liu Jianhong still had some objections to this penalty: "Rhehe team won a penalty kick. This penalty kick is undisputed. But giving Wang Peng a red card is still a bit too heavy. Since a penalty kick has been awarded, it is completely possible to only give a yellow card

, because Wang Peng didn’t make any dangerous moves, it was just a pulling movement with his hands.”

Xu Yang also said: "If Wang Peng is sent off, it will be difficult for the Dragons to play in the next game. According to the schedule of the Asian Youth Championship, tomorrow the Chinese National Youth Team will face the Iranian National Youth Team, Qin Minghao and Li Yun

They are definitely the main force. If they are eliminated, they can come back to play in the finals, but if they can defeat the Iranian team, then there will be a semi-final to play on the 14th, and the two of them who have finished the game will count as the 15th.

When I return to China, I guess my physical fitness will not be enough to support the entire FA Cup final. After all, the second leg of the FA Cup final is on the 18th, and it is an away game."

Liu Jianhong also said: "Although we also hope that the two of them will perform better and let the National Youth Team reach the semi-finals, it is indeed a bit unfair to the Longteng Team, but it is a very rare opportunity to play for the country.

I hope they won’t be affected by this game.”

With one player missing, the Longteng team had used up three substitutions, so they could only let Sun Yu come back to play as a central defender and Gao Jun to retreat and play as a defensive midfielder. In this way, the Longteng team's advantage in the midfield was gone.

In the rest of the game, Renhe and the team launched a violent offensive. Yu Hai, Qu Bo and Rao Weihui kept using their speed to attack the Longteng team's defense. However, the Longteng team players were united and Liu Fangming saved Renhe and the team continuously.

The team's three threatening shots saved the game.

After the game, when Zhang Sheng and Gao Hongbo shook hands, Zhang Sheng said to Gao Hongbo: "Congratulations on winning the game."

Gao Hongbo said very seriously: "You are just inexperienced in the game, and the absence of the main players has a great impact on you. The players on your team are really very good. I am very envious. I look forward to the next game with you."

game.”

Liu Jianhong summarized the performance of both sides in this game: "Although this game was between the second-division team and the Chinese team, we saw a wonderful confrontation between several strong teams.

Both the confrontation and the tactical confrontation were impressive. The Longteng team missed two goal opportunities and hit the goal post. Renhe team also had several very good opportunities. But most of the Longteng team are young players.

For example, Xu Mingyu, the core midfielder of the Longteng team in this game, is only 16 years old, Gao Jun, another core player, is only 19 years old, and Deng Qun, who scored a goal for the Longteng team, is less than 20 years old. In several other positions

Several players aged 16 to 20 have performed well, and I am very optimistic about the future of this team."

In the locker room after the game, Zhang Sheng did not blame the players for the loss. To Wang Peng, who was sent off with a red card, Zhang Sheng just reminded him: "You got the red card a little impulsively. That

The ball, even if you let it in, we still have our goalkeeper. We need to pay attention next time."

Then Zhang Sheng praised the team's performance: "Don't pay too much attention to the defeat in this game. There will always be winners and losers in the game. At least from the perspective of the game, we did not fall behind. The big reason for the loss is

Because of your lack of experience, I am very satisfied with your performance. Of course, you have also seen the true strength of the top teams, and they are teams without foreign aid, so we must work harder in the future.

.”

"This game is our first loss this season. Many people must be very stressed, but I hope you can turn this pressure into motivation and prepare for the next game. Everyone, have a good rest. I will

I’ll give you a day off.” This is also the first time Zhang Sheng has given the team a day off after losing.

At the press conference after the game, the visiting team’s head coach Gao Hongbo was interviewed first.

When the reporter asked Gao Hongbo to evaluate the opponent, Gao Hongbo seriously praised the performance of the Longteng team: "Although we won this game, the performance of both sides was evenly matched from the scene. The overall football played by the Longteng team is very advanced.

Football. We were able to defeat them mainly because our players have more experience in the game, while their players are too young. I am very optimistic about the future of these players and this team."

Later, when reporters asked about Gao Hongbo's plans to study abroad, Gao Hongbo did not give a positive answer: "I have always had the idea of ​​studying abroad, but I still need to communicate with the club."

In fact, Gao Hongbo originally planned to mention this matter to the club after the FA Cup, but this game gave Gao Hongbo a big impact. For a second-tier team, the players are not necessarily better than their own players.

, even a little weak. However, the opponent's head coach relied on relatively advanced techniques and tactics to deal with him for more than 80 minutes. In the end, it was just the players' ability that could not keep up that led to the loss. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say the game.

This shocked Gao Hongbo. Zhang Sheng's study abroad experience also gave Gao Hongbo inspiration. In fact, Gao Hongbo had already had the experience of studying abroad before. He was the first young coach to study abroad at his own expense. In 1999, he first used

I studied in Southampton, Arsenal, and Crystal Palace in the UK for three months, and then went to Germany. With Schlappner's connections, I went to Frankfurt and Mannheim to study with the teams, and also observed Leverkusen and Bayern Munich on the spot.

Training of both teams.

But Zhang Sheng's tactical arrangements made him feel that he was lagging behind. Obviously, his long-term study abroad in Germany must have helped Zhang Sheng a lot in training and tactics. Gao Hongbo used to find someone just to avoid the internal conflicts between people and the team.

As an excuse, after this game, Gao Hongbo had the idea to completely quit his job and pursue further studies for a long time.

In Zhang Sheng's post-match interview, when a reporter asked Zhang Sheng what he thought of this defeat, Zhang Sheng replied firmly: "This game is just a defeat, it is not the end of the world.

We still have a chance in one round.”
