Lippi, who was on the sidelines, angrily hammered the backboard of the coaching bench with his hand. Zheng Zhi's injury once again dealt a heavy blow to the Evergrande team's tactics.????
Zheng Zhi has always been the Chinese player Lippi has relied on most since he came to Evergrande. Although Zheng Zhi is now older, his physical confrontation ability has declined, and his physical fitness cannot guarantee high confrontation in the whole field. At the same time, he is too slow to release the ball in the midfield position. Like
Take a few kicks and then play the ball. Even if Zheng Zhi has these shortcomings, he is still the most valued by Lippi. That is because Zheng Zhi has an overall view that is rare among domestic players today, and the most important point is to go deeper forward.
His ability to pass the ball with one kick. In other words, Zheng Zhi can let Evergrande's offense start, instead of letting the ball stay in the midfield and pass it across the ball or simply pass it back. This is why Zheng Zhi was able to play in the English football team in the first place.
The reason why Charlton can play at the core of the midfield is because he can bring great help to the team's offense.
In this game, it was Zheng Zhi's presence that allowed Conca to be targeted. Evergrande was still able to suppress the Longteng team in the middle of the first half. This is why Zheng Zhi said before the game that he could play, and Lippi
The reason why he hesitated but agreed to his request was because Evergrande's midfielder couldn't do without him.
Before Zheng Zhi came off the field, Lippi still had some extravagant hopes, hoping that he could deliver a good ball on the field and find Muric to counterattack. But now that Zheng Zhi was injured and ended up, Evergrande's hope became even slimmer.
Lippi had to make the last forced personnel adjustment, replacing Zheng Zhi with Feng Junyan, but this time Lippi was very decisive. While replacing Zheng Zhi, he also replaced Rong Hao, replacing his regular
It's Zhao Xuyang.
Seeing this substitution, Shen Fangjian also said: "Lippi's substitution sent a clear signal that the Evergrande team is going to defend. The formation has completely changed from the previous 4-2-3-1.
The current 4-3-3 formation is a purely defensive 4-3-3 formation. The three midfielder formation of Sun Junyan, Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuyang makes Evergrande’s midfield defensive thickness very strong, but in terms of offense
It’s not helpful at all.”
It should be said that Lippi's substitution was very decisive. Zhang Sheng was originally happy about Zheng Zhi's fate and wanted to use the Evergrande team's midfielders to make a fuss. Unexpectedly, Lippi suddenly stepped on two midfielders, leaving Zhang
The wish to rise was in vain.
With the substitutions of the Evergrande team, one player of the Evergrande team was activated, and that was Muric. Before, Evergrande thought that they could use ground attack to reach the frontcourt through layers of passes, and then play again.
The midfielder sends a through ball to allow Muric to penetrate forward. However, because the two wingers of the Longteng team are not inferior to Evergrande, there are both technical and physical players like Ivo and Kanter in the middle of the midfield.
Players, Evergrande's offense has been unable to hit the ground running.
Now with the full defense, Evergrande's offense is simpler, but also more effective, that is, once the players in the midfield or even the backcourt grab the ball, they will directly look for Muric in front.
Let Muric rely on his own personal ability to solve the problem. Although the success rate of such an attack is low, once a successful attack is made, it may lead to a goal.
In fact, Zhang Sheng has a deep study of Lippi's 4-3-3 formation, because the 4-3-3 formation is also one of the formations Lippi often uses after coming to Evergrande.
Lippi's 4-3-3 is the legendary "forwardless formation". This formation emphasizes the constant passing of players on the field and constant running without the ball. Guardiola in the Barcelona era abolished the tradition in this formation
The ninth position formed the concept of nine and a half, which made Messi the king. At the same time, he also performed this formation perfectly. The most classic one is the "three sixes" tactical requirements put forward by Guardiola.
That is, six people form a group that passes and receives the ball. The distance between each person is six meters. After losing the ball, they can counterattack within six seconds. Let's compare Evergrande and Barcelona: the two full-backs ** Peng and Sun Xiang both
He has a strong ability to provide assists, which is similar to Barcelona's Alves and Alba; in the midfield, Zheng Zhi has stable ball control ability and the ability to pass threatening balls. Conca is responsible for providing the team's offense.
, Zhao Xuyang is the sweeper in the midfield, corresponding to Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets; the three frontcourt players, it is not an exaggeration to say that Elkson is the Messi of Asia, and Muric has many talents.
With strong speed and breakthrough ability, he is equivalent to Sanchez in Barcelona, while Gao Lin plays the role of Pedro.
To sum up, Evergrande’s 4-3-3 forward-less formation can be said to be very powerful. However, Zhang Sheng also found that Evergrande’s forward-less formation still has quite a few weaknesses.
The first is the air defense ability of the central defenders. Evergrande’s two central defenders, Jin Yingquan and Feng Xiaoting, both have strong interception capabilities, but their air defense capabilities can only be said to be average. This season and last season, Changchun Yatai and Tianjin TEDA both used high-altitude bombing to allow them to attack.
Evergrande suffered a lot and lost the game. Feng Xiaoting was strong, but slow on his feet, which was not conducive to the timely blocking of the central defender. Jin Yingquan was very flexible, but not good at physical confrontation, which formed Evergrande's air defense weakness.
Secondly, the midfielder's interception ability is not enough. In Barcelona's 4-3-3 formation, Busquets relied on his strong defensive ability to set up a barrier for Barcelona in the midfield. In his heyday, Busquets was fierce in steals and supplements.
He has strong positioning awareness and is another midfield sweeper in football after Gattuso. However, Evergrande’s midfielder can only say that his ability to fight on the spot is okay, but his awareness of filling in positions is too far behind. He is not very good at defending the opponent.
The starting point of the counterattack is not interfered with in time enough, and sometimes it is easy to be penetrated by the opponent's pass.
Finally, the passing ability from the wing is insufficient. Sun Xiang and ** Peng both have strong ability to provide assists. Sun Xiang's passing ability has improved under Lippi's training, but he still cannot achieve the appropriate strength.
The placement is excellent. **Peng can use his speed and strong body to carve out a path for Evergrande on the right, and he can also pass very threatening crosses from time to time, but sometimes he himself can't.
He needs to control his footwork well, and the stability of his crosses needs to be improved. Moreover, once he encounters a player whose body and speed are not weaker than his, his offense will be greatly compromised.
So before the game, Zhang Sheng prepared Mahrez on the right to suppress Sun Xiang, Yu Bo on the left to fight against Peng Peng, and relied on Gao Jun's pass in the middle to initiate the attack. Finally, he made full use of set-piece tactics.
Carry out high-altitude bombing.
But the current 4-3-3 of the Evergrande team is completely different from the previous 4-3-3. Except for the fact that Elkeson was sent off and one less player is missing, the overall formation of Evergrande is further back, which is different from the Longteng team.
There was a struggle in the midfield. The three players in the midfield were all defensive midfielders and were only responsible for sweeping and defending. Faced with such an iron barrel formation, and it was the iron barrel formation of the Evergrande team under the leadership of Lippi, Zhang Sheng was temporarily
It’s also a piece of cake.
However, it was the Evergrande team that really got the chance. After continuously looking for Muric with big kicks, the Evergrande team got a good opportunity. Because of the offside tactics arranged by Zhang Sheng, Muric rarely got the ball several times.
, but they were all called offside, and in the 25th minute of the second half, Evergrande's chance came.
This time, Huang Bowen's active fighting in the midfield caused the Longteng team to make mistakes when passing and receiving the ball. Huang Bowen grabbed the ball without making any stop, and directly drove to the frontcourt with a big kick, and kept fighting with Muric.
Kante made a rare mistake in the confrontation this time. He headed the ball when he headed the ball. Muric did not expect Kante to give him such a big cake. After a slight hesitation, he started running wildly with the ball.
As a deep-lying central defender, Ma Yongli had to step forward to press, but unfortunately Muric was much faster than him. In just a few seconds, Muric rushed into the penalty area with the ball.
Wynn had to interfere from behind, and Xu Di also rushed over to block it. However, Muriqi used his skillful foot skills to get past Xu Di, and then decisively kicked the shot. Ma Yongli made a flying shovel from behind.
Even so, his feet did not prevent the ball from hitting the net, and Ma Yongli's tackle also brought down Muric.
After the referee whistled that the goal was valid, he ran to Ma Yongli and showed him a yellow card, indicating that this was a dangerous move.
Zhang Sheng was furious. Muric was not injured, he was just knocked down. Ma Yongli's tackle was close to the ground and not aimed at anyone. The most important thing was Muric's ball.
They have already scored and started celebrating wildly. This is purely the referee trying to find balance for the red card given to Evergrande in the first half.
Faced with this goal, the players of the Evergrande team began to celebrate wildly. After being one goal behind and one player missing, they actually equalized the score. It was really not easy. Even Lippi, who had always been very calm, was excited.
running on the sidelines.
Shen Fangjian also shouted: "The ball was scored and Evergrande equalized the score. The unbeatable Muric is a perfect center who combines concentration, technique and shooting. This goal was so beautiful."
In fact, Zhang Sheng on the sidelines knew that this goal could only be said to be the good luck of the Evergrande team. Huang Bowen's casual pass and Kante's header caused the goal. Zhang Sheng also shouted to the players on the sidelines
Encouragement: "This ball is a lucky ball. Don't be affected. Let's continue to attack."
After the kick-off, the Longteng team started to attack with all their strength. Mahrez on the right also completely exploded. After a few passes from the Longteng team's midfielder, he passed Feng Junyan and made a direct pass.
In the penalty area of the team, Feng Junyan had no choice but to pull down Mahrez. The Longteng team won a free kick in the frontcourt and he also received a yellow card.
Faced with this free kick, it was Mahrez who took the penalty. Evergrande's penalty area was filled with Longteng players. After the free kick was taken, a player with a red player in the crowd jumped high and then used his strength
The lion swung his head and headed the ball into the goal.
Then I saw Lu Zhihui running out of the crowd and celebrating wildly. Just 2 minutes after the Longteng team had equalized, they turned the score around again and scored with a header. It was Lu Zhihui who made the contribution. (To be continued.
