After scoring the goal, Sun Xuhai ran to the corner flag and waved to the audience. The entire audience also cheered loudly for the veteran.
Zhang Sheng also had to accept this reality. If he chose to take risks, he could only accept the consequences of taking risks.
Liu Jianhong was full of praise for Sun Xuhai: "Xuhai's goal makes us see him again when he was in the national team and racing in the English league. Although Xuhai didn't score many goals back then, his assists were very good.
He is so sharp. I didn’t expect that at the age of 35, he would still score such an important goal for Renhe and the team in such an important game.”
Xu Yang also said: "Indeed, the players who were in the same group as Sun Xuhai at that time have basically retired now. He is the only one who plays in the Chinese team and is the main force. It seems that he has been in good condition."
The Longteng team, which was lagging behind, was also a little bit hit. After the kick-off again, the young players were a little discouraged, and the fight in the midfield obviously slowed down. At this time, Xu Mingyu's lack of leadership qualities was fully exposed.
However, the new Zhou Zhou showed a rare temperament for a young man - he just refused to admit defeat. After he was hit on the counterattack because he assisted too deep and lost the ball, Zhou Zhou did not give up, but continued to advance and assist.
But this time he asked Liu Xing to help him look at the defense behind him more, and he also strengthened his counterattack when losing the ball in the frontcourt.
Although Sun Xuhai scored a goal in this game, he is old after all. After being hit by Zhou Zhou many times, his physical fitness gradually failed to keep up with the rhythm. After another successful breakthrough by Zhou Zhou, Sun Xuhai was completely unable to run.
Moved.
Liu Jianhong saw this situation and said: "Now the pressure in the midfield of the Longteng team is not as good as before, but the young player on the wing is working hard. Sun Xuhai still has physical problems. Sure enough, coach Gao Hongbo replaced him with Li Kai
Went down to Sun Xuhai."
Gao Hongbo, who was on the sidelines, did not shake hands with Sun Xuhai after he came off the field. Sun Xuhai also walked directly past Gao Hongbo. It seems that the conflict between the two mentioned before the game is indeed true.
After Sun Xuhai came off the field, Renhe's right wing also became tougher. Li Kai and Chen Jie's Renhe team's right wing started a fierce collision with Liu Xing and Zhou Zhou's left wing.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng also played his last card and replaced Liu Xing with Yu Bo. First, he asked Yu Bo, who was more physically fit, to rush forward. Second, because Zhou Zhou and Yu Bo had played together since childhood and had a better understanding.
Sure enough, this substitution paid off. In the 43rd minute of the second half, the Longteng team scored again to equalize the score.
This goal was the result of the cooperation between Zhou Zhou and Yu Bo. The two players who grew up together and played together really have a tacit understanding. First, Zhou Zhou intercepted Chen Jie's ball, and then Yu Bo and Zhou Zhou both
He ran all the way to the opponent's penalty area, and then played two beautiful one-twos in a small space on the right side of the penalty area, completely defeating Li Kai and Chen Jie. Then because of Bo's inverted triangle pass in the penalty area, Deng
The group scored the ball.
After leveling the score, the Longteng team once again saw the hope of victory. If they score another goal, they will win the total score of two more rounds with away goals. Now the Longteng team is active again.
Liu Jianhong was also cheering for the Longteng team: "The Longteng team equalized the score. Plus there should be about 5 minutes of stoppage time, the Longteng team still has a chance. These boys are really good."
At this time, the referee on the sidelines also raised the stoppage time card, adding 4 minutes of stoppage time in the second half. Deng Qun, who took the ball from the net and rushed to the midfield kick-off point, urged Hehe and the team to kick off quickly. However, he has rich experience
Gao Hongbo took advantage of the rules and replaced Rao Weihui with Guo Sheng, once again strengthening the defense in the midfield and backcourt.
In the 4 minutes of stoppage time, the Longteng team besieged the Hehe team, but the united Hehe team defended very successfully. Goalkeeper Zhang Lie saved Lin Feng's very threatening shots twice in a row.
In the end, the game ended with a score of 2:2. With one win and one draw, the Renhe team defeated the Longteng team in two rounds and won the FA Cup championship, and also qualified for the AFC Champions League next season.
When the referee blew the final whistle of the game, the players and coaching staff of the Renhe team, including the club staff, rushed into the field and began to wildly celebrate their first high-level championship. The players of the Longteng team watched in disappointment.
He celebrated with his opponent. Gao Junze, who had worked hard throughout the game, shed tears, and Xu Mingyu also had red eyes.
When Liu Jianhong congratulated Renhe and the team, he also comforted the Longteng team: "Congratulations to Renhe and the team, they won the Toshiba FA Cup in the 2o12 season. They also became the 8th team to win the FA Cup final since the professionalization of Chinese football.
Team. This is also the first time in the history of Renhe and the team to win the championship. Before the game, Renhe and the team offered a winning bonus of 3,000 for this championship, which seems to have stimulated the entire team."
"But what I want to talk about more is their opponent, the Longteng team. This is also the first second-division team in the history of Chinese football to enter the FA Cup finals, and it is also the lowest level team to enter the finals in the history of Chinese football. They have gone all the way.
They defeated many Chinese League One and Chinese clubs to reach the finals. And this season, they were promoted to the Chinese League One with 30 rounds of unbeaten results. The home game of Hehe Renhe Team was their first defeat in all competitions this season.
In other words, they are undefeated in 37 rounds this year. I think if two of their core players were not transferred to the National Youth Team before the final, they would probably win the FA Cup."
"This all-Chinese team with an average age of only 21 years old and an average age of 19 players represents the future of Chinese football. Although they failed in this championship competition, they are still young.
, as long as they maintain such growth, they will have more opportunities. At the same time, I wish them a good future."
While Liu Jianhong was explaining affectionately, Zhang Sheng also began to comfort the frustrated players one by one on the court.
When he came to Zhou Zhou's side, the 16-year-old boy said with a cry: "Coach, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have rushed forward so much that I lost the ball."
Zhang Sheng hugged Zhou Zhou's head and said: "Don't say such things, I arranged the tactics, the responsibility is not yours. You have played well enough, and you have half of the credit for that goal. Go down and have a good rest.
If it fails this time, let’s try again next time.”
Soon the Football Association began to release the runner-up medals. When giving Zhang Sheng the medal, Wei Di, the vice chairman of the Football Association, said to Zhang Sheng: "The Longteng team played very well this year and can lead such a team to the finals.
You did a great job, please work hard in the future."
Zhang Sheng also forced a smile and said thank you.
After the game, Zhang Sheng led the team back to the locker room. In the locker room, Zhang Sheng comforted the players and said: "In this game, your performance was not bad. The opponent's victory lies in experience, and our failure lies in our too much strength."
Young. But being young has the advantage of being young, that is, we have an unlimited future, and we will have many opportunities in the future."
At the press conference after the game, Zhang Sheng was interviewed first.
The reporter first asked about this game. One reporter asked: "Why is this game at Renhe's home court and the Longteng team still plays offense? Didn't the team expect that the offense will fail?"
Zhang Sheng said: "Our Longteng team's tactical play is consistent. No matter what team it is, we will stick to our own play style. It will not differ because of the team or the home and away games."
Then a reporter asked about his thoughts on winning second place.
Zhang Sheng replied: "I don't have any other ideas. There are mostly young people in our team. It is normal for young people to suffer some setbacks, but just because they are young people, they will have the opportunity to prove themselves again."
A few minutes later, Gao Hongbo arrived belatedly. When reporters first congratulated Gao Hongbo and then asked about studying abroad, Gao Hongbo answered directly this time: "I am indeed ready to go abroad to continue my studies."
Further studies. Because the current mainstream training and tactics in Europe have greatly improved, I myself feel that I have reached a bottleneck. If I still want to make progress, I think I need to go to Europe again to study and recharge. I have just talked to the players
I told the club about this incident and submitted my resignation, so it was a little late."
Hearing Gao Hongbo's answer, the reporters below were in an uproar. After all, Gao Hongbo had just won the first championship trophy in history for the Renhe team. Although it was only the Football Association Cup, it was also a very big breakthrough for the Renhe team.
Moreover, Renhe and the team played well in China this season. At the end of the season, Renhe and the team were ranked fourth, and this season they had one win and one draw against Evergrande, which was ranked first in the rankings. They definitely had the advantage. Unexpectedly, in the game
Then such big news was released.
A reporter quickly asked: "I heard that, Director Gao, you had conflicts with Renhe and some players on the team. Is this the reason for your resignation?"
Gao Hongbo said seriously: "This is completely false. We and the team are very united, otherwise, we would not have won the FA Cup this time. I was touched after two games against the Longteng team.
Very big. Although the Longteng team lost to us with one draw and one loss, their style of play is a very popular style of play in Europe. They lost to us because of the lack of players and staff. Coach Zhang Sheng came back from Europe, and his tactics are
Very advanced. I am also very optimistic about his future results."
Of course, reporters all know that the first half of Gao Hongbo's words can only be selectively listened to, but the second half is very likely. The results of Zhang Sheng's leadership were unanimously recognized. The title "Barcelona in the Second Division" was still used in the early days.
It was a ridiculing title, but in the later period, it was truly recognized.
Of course, Zhang Sheng also thanked Gao Hongbo for the compliment in the subsequent interview, and also praised Gao Hongbo as the number one local coach in the country. Of course, this is a story for later.
