Originally, according to Zhang Sheng's idea, after Kanter's position was slightly retreated, Gao Jun should be responsible for connecting the midfielders from the real defensive midfielder position, while Ivo was more inclined to intercept in the midfield.?? ??
?Bi?? Quge ?
It's a pity that Gao Jun's lack of physical fitness ruined Zhang Sheng's plan. Zhang Sheng had to start the second plan, which was to let Lin Feng take Gao Jun's place and be responsible for the midfield connection. In terms of personal ability alone, Lin Feng was better than Gao Jun.
Jun is stronger. Because not only physically, but also in terms of forward ability, Lin Feng is still very good as an offensive full-back. But when it comes to defensive ability, he is not as good as Gao Jun. All Zhang Shengzhi chose to let
Lin Feng is responsible for the midfield connection, and his main emphasis is on his outstanding passing, receiving, running and coordination abilities in the team.
As for Zhou Zhou's problem, it is a trivial matter. After all, Xiao Yunfan is fully capable of replacing him, and like Zhou Zhou, Xiao Yunfan and Yu Bo are players who grew up together, and they are very skilled in cooperating with each other.
In this pre-match press conference, both Zhang Sheng and Lippi answered very cautiously. Faced with repeated provocations from reporters, both of them appeared to be very low-key. This also seemed to be aware of the basic style of this game.
.
In the locker room before the start of the game, Zhang Sheng emphasized stability countless times: "In this game, we mainly focus on defense. Because we can defend it."
Everyone agreed with Zhang Sheng's words, because when Zhang Sheng was worried that his main forward and main central defender could not play, Guangzhou Evergrande looked even more miserable.
Because the last game was too intense and the referee was not doing his job, Guangzhou Evergrande suffered a heavy loss.
On the front line, Lippi's two most relied-upon forwards, Elkeson and Muric, were both unable to play. Their absence set the tone for Guangzhou Evergrande's forward line in this game - their offense was weak.
The absence of Zheng Zhi in the midfield - Lippi had informed the media at the pre-match press conference that Zheng Zhi would be sidelined for a month due to injury - allowed Evergrande to play more defensively, offensively and even in the midfield.
The strength of field control has been greatly reduced, and Kongka can only rely on his own performance.
CCTV 5 still broadcast this game, and the commentator was Shen Fangjian, the commentator from the previous round.
After the game started, when Shen Fangjian began to introduce the lineups of both sides, he sighed: "There are a lot of stars missing in this game. There are several core players on both sides who cannot play, but overall the situation is still good for the Longteng team.
It's more advantageous, after all, several of their foreign players are here."
The situation on the field was indeed as Shen Fangjian said, with the Longteng team slightly taking advantage.
After the game started, Lippi discovered one of the biggest changes in the Longteng team, which was the position of their forward player Wen Kai. In the last round of the game, Deng Qun's position on the field was more between the center back and full back.
During this time, his purpose is also very clear, which is to use the gap between the center back and the full back to counter offside or grab the second point by running, because this joint position has always been the weakness of each team.
Wenkai's position is very strong, that is, standing in the middle of the two central defenders. This position is very arrogant. This is the position of a super center. Standing in this position
It is a clear indication that I can suppress the opponent's center back and prevent the opponent's back line from attacking.
Seeing this position, Lippi frowned, because Zhang Sheng hit Lippi's tactical weakness.
Due to the lack of Elkeson, Muric and Zheng Zhi in this game, it was difficult for Guangzhou Evergrande to organize an attack from the midfield or create opportunities directly from the frontcourt. Therefore, Lippi clearly gave Feng Xiaoting instructions before the game.
and Kim Young Kwon, let them play more balls to the midfielder or directly play long balls to counterattack.
Zhang Sheng asked Wenkai to directly press against Evergrande's two defenders, which made Lippi's approach a bit dangerous. It depends on whether Feng Xiaoting and Jin Yingquan can withstand Wenkai's pressure.
It should be said that Wenkai still put a lot of pressure on Evergrande's two central defenders. The first point is that Wenkai can hold the ball. This is also a common trait of Longteng players. As long as all Longteng players can enter the first team
Yes, the ability to hold the ball at your feet is the most basic requirement, especially the ability to hold the ball in confrontation. As for Wenkai, who is used as a center, the requirements are even more stringent. This is why Wenkai is killing everyone in the Chinese League One.
The reason is because his impact is still very impressive.
After Wenkai put pressure on Evergrande's back line, Evergrande had less support for the frontcourt when playing the ball in the backcourt. They could only rely on layers of advancement from the backcourt to launch the offense. But because of the central
Without Zheng Zhi's ball control and transfer, the Evergrande team simply couldn't hold the ball in the midfield. As a last resort, Kongka, as the attacking midfielder, had to return to the second half of the midfield many times to get the ball.
However, the Longteng team was very successful in marking Kongka. In the first round of the game, Guangzhou Evergrande was unexpected by Ivo's defensive midfielder appearance. In addition, Kante
With strong defensive ability, Kongka's performance is basically useless.
The same is true in this game. Ivo is still intercepting constantly in the attacking midfielder position, and Kanter is even more so in the defensive midfielder position. In addition, Lin Feng sent by Zhang Sheng is constantly running and connecting in the midfield.
I will also take a little care of Kong Ka, who seems to be very uncomfortable.
The Longteng team's own offense is also a bit unsmooth. This is also due to Evergrande's tactics. In this game, Lippi still deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, in the defensive midfielder position.
The ones shown above are Zhao Xuyang and Huang Bowen. Lippi's meaning is very clear. Huang Bowen is responsible for Zheng Zhi's previous offensive arrangements, and Zhao Xuri is responsible for sweeping the midfield. At the same time, Evergrande also put Rong Hao and Gao Lin in the midfield.
The two of them play on the wing. Lippi's instructions are very clear. Except for Conca, who does not need to be too defensive, all other players must strengthen their pressing and defense.
Therefore, although the Longteng team has many opportunities to win the ball in the midfield, they do not have a good opportunity to attack against the players surrounded by Evergrande in the midfield. They mostly rely on the personal abilities of Ivo and Mahrez.
breakthrough. It should be said that Gao Jun's absence still has a great impact on the team. Lin Feng may be able to cooperate more easily on the right, but once he reaches the middle or the left, he and several other players
He is not skilled in coordination, so there are often situations where the pass is not in place or the movement is not timely.
On the left wing, although Yu Bo was not at a disadvantage against Gao Lin, he still had no advantage. After all, Gao Lin's game experience was far greater than Yu Bo's.
Due to Mahrez's wonderful performance in the last game on the right, Evergrande attaches great importance to his breakthrough. Rong Hao also put away his previous idea of attacking each other and focusing on defense. At the same time, as one of the defensive midfielders,
Zhao Xuyang also came over many times to help Rong Hao defend. Mahrez didn't have many chances to break through after the opening. Even if Lin Feng came to help, it would not be of much use, because as soon as Lin Feng came to the right, Conca would also come to help defend.
.
At the same time, because of the presence of Conca, Kanter did not dare to press too much. After all, once Conca is given a chance, his passing or shooting is likely to pose a huge threat.
Seeing the situation on the field, Zhang Sheng has been thinking about ways to break the deadlock, because as an away team, the Longteng team's physical condition is definitely not as good as that of a team with rich multi-line operations like Guangzhou Evergrande.
, not to mention the physical exertion of away games itself is more than usual.
When Zhang Sheng was thinking of a way, the players on the field were also thinking of a way, such as Wen Kai who is currently on the front line.
He remembered Zhang Sheng's advice to him before the game: "Wen Kai, do you know why I want Deng Qun as the main forward?"
Wenkai also shook his head at that time. In fact, in Wenkai's own mind, he felt that he was more suitable to be the forward of the Longteng team than Deng Qun, because compared to Deng Qun, he could hold the ball in the frontcourt and be able to handle the ball frequently.
He can afford the physical confrontation, and his shooting level is no worse than Deng Qun. In terms of attitude in the game, Wen Kai also thinks that he is very dedicated, and his running has never been much worse than Deng Qun.
But Zhang Sheng's words gave Wenkai a great inspiration: "That's because Deng Qun plays more aggressively than you! Look at his game state on the court. Although he is often in an offside position,
After getting the ball, he is often squeezed down by the opponent with his body, but no matter at any time, his eyes are always on the opponent's penalty area and goal. And you? You have the body and the skills at your feet, but you like it more
Give the ball to your teammates, but you don’t have the momentum that you will definitely score. If you are facing a weak opponent, you can still rely on your own strength to score. Once the opponent is stronger than you, you will habitually retreat.
.If you don’t change this way of playing, you will only be able to abuse the opponent instead of becoming a heavyweight in the frontcourt.”
"In this game, I will place you between the opponent's two central defenders. Your role is to suppress their midfielders with all your strength. If you can withstand Evergrande's central defenders, it will prove that you are the best player in the country.
He is an excellent forward, otherwise he can only be used as a substitute." This was Zhang Sheng's explanation when Wenkai came on the field.
And Wen Kai is doing the same now.
After more than 30 minutes of competition in the first half, Wenkai, who had been taking turns fighting against Evergrande's two central defenders, gradually built up his confidence because Zhang Sheng gave him a thumbs up on the sidelines several times to express his gratitude.
He put enough pressure on Evergrande's back line today.
At this time, Wenkai began to think about how to exploit the two central defenders of the Evergrande team to find opportunities to score goals. And at the end of the first half, this opportunity came. (To be continued.)
