It should be said that Lippi's substitution did not surprise Zhang Sheng at all.? According to Zhang Sheng's idea, Evergrande's back line was so overwhelmed by Wenkai that Evergrande should pay more attention to defensive issues. Unexpectedly, Lippi
He did exactly the opposite and directly strengthened the offense in the frontcourt. However, while Lippi strengthened the offense, he also restricted the Longteng team's offense even more.
Because Qin Sheng's playing can not only free up Huang Bowen's offensive ability, but also limit Mahrez's offense.
When it comes to Qin Sheng, what everyone thinks of is that he is known as a "professor" and can speak eight languages. And this rumor is very weird: "He scolded Ahn Jung-hwan in Korean so that he was sent off; discussed the size of law enforcement with the Bahrain referee; and Portugal
Muriqui, who is a Spanish-speaking person, has a close relationship with the Spanish-speaking Argentinian Concan; he and Lippi can speak Italian and give advice; I heard that Bayern was going to play in the Club World Cup, so I took the bonus and went to secretly
I signed up for a German class.” In fact, many of them are just rumors.
However, Qin Sheng did help the Evergrande team a lot this season. The second round of the AFC Champions League final with Erfc reached injury time. At this time, the tension on the court was close to suffocating. If Evergrande was in the opponent's last desperate counterattack
If you lose another goal, you may lose the final championship. In the 90th minute, Lippi chose to substitute, Qin Sheng came on! He replaced AFC mVp Muric.
Facts have proved that this substitution had a very obvious effect. In the last 3 minutes of injury time, Qin Sheng successfully fragmented the game. During the dispute with the opponent, ErFC assistant coach was also called out for losing control of his emotions.
The referee was ejected, and as the referee blew the final whistle, the score was fixed at 1-1. Evergrande had a total score of 3-3 in the two rounds and won the AFC Champions League with its away goal advantage.
After the game, netizens began to summarize the performance of the Evergrande players in this game. Although he was a substitute, Qin Sheng was still supported by strong voices as a major contributor to Evergrande's victory. Interested netizens expressed their disapproval of Qin Sheng's 3
The performance in minutes was summarized: "I came on the field at the last moment, singled out 7 people on the opponent's bench, and successfully sent off one of the opponent's coaches. In a total of 3 minutes of stoppage time, Qin Sheng wasted 2 minutes on his saliva."
In fact, in addition to these ridicules, Qin Sheng, who is known as one of the five villains in Chinese football because he is often scolded for making big moves and fouls on the field, is still very capable. His frontal defensive ability is still very good.
In addition, Qin Sheng is also very smart. Don't think that he only has brute strength. Qin Sheng is particularly sensitive to defensive pressure and will take the initiative to commit tactical fouls when there is a bad trend. This is why he is often scolded by fans.
After Qin Sheng came on the field, the defense on the left wing he was responsible for suddenly became much stronger. When facing Mahrez's not very strong body, Qin Sheng's physical confrontation ability still played a certain role.
At the same time, Zhang Sheng was not surprised that Lippi asked Feng Junyan to play as a left winger. After all, Feng Junyan basically plays as a left midfielder. Lippi moved him forward to avoid Mahrez at first.
The defensive pressure brought by his breakthrough, and he can also take advantage of his accurate running position to cooperate with Conca. Coupled with his ability to cross with one foot, he can bring a lot of threats to the Longteng team's penalty area.
Qin Sheng's defense also reduced the defensive pressure on midfielder Zhao Xuyang. Zhao Xuyang had more time to tangle with Ivo, and Huang Bowen was able to spare some time to connect with Kongka so that Kongka could also be activated.
stand up.
Sure enough, after the start of the second half, Evergrande slowly reversed some of the passive situation in the first half, and the offense began to be more organized.
Shen Fangjian also sighed: "Coach Lippi's substitutions and adjustments are really outstanding. Two simple substitutions made Evergrande's situation on the field much better. He is indeed the world's top coach.
"
Xu Yang first agreed with Shen Fangjian and said: "It is true. Qin Sheng's playing and Feng Junyan's positioning have really improved Evergrande's performance." But then Xu Yang also said something.
My own worry, "But Qin Sheng's excessive defensive actions have always been an old problem. Now he can still persist when he first comes on the field. When Mahrez breaks through a few more times, the chance of him getting a card will be much greater. After all, today's
The referee is very strict. As for Feng Junyan, he shouldn't have much chance against Shu Jun's defense."
However, the Evergrande team soon proved the success of Lippi's substitution with actual performance.
In the 14th minute of the second half, Ivo made a mistake in the cooperation with Mahrez in the midfield. This goal was another success of the joint defense between Qin Sheng, Zhao Xuyang and Sun Xiang. Ivo received the ball from Mahrez in the frontcourt.
The ball was too sticky and was intercepted. After Zhao Xuyang got the ball, he handed it directly to Huang Bowen. Although Lin Feng came over to press, his defense was obviously not as successful as Gao Jun's. Huang Bowen directly played a through ball in the middle.
Feng Junyan, who came on as a substitute in the second half, moved very well. He got the ball on the left side of the penalty area and then volleyed with his right foot into the upper corner of the goal. This goal well demonstrated Feng Junyan's ability to move, although the ball did not stop with his foot.
The shot obviously had some luck, but it was also an opportunity created by himself.
Feng Junyan's goal made the entire celestial body boil, because now the Evergrande team is only one goal away. As long as one more goal is scored, Evergrande can get back the score, and then with Evergrande's experience in controlling the game, the final
Victory is definitely in favor of Evergrande.
Zhang Sheng was also speechless about losing the ball. He really played too conservatively and had too few contact points in the frontcourt. As a result, after Ivo got the ball, he could only take a few more steps and wait for his teammates to move into position before passing it out. That's it.
A little mistake led to his team conceding a goal. It seemed that he was still suppressed by Lippi tactically, and it was time to make adjustments, otherwise it would be more difficult to play later.
And I took it too much for granted. There was still a big problem in letting Lin Feng organize and connect in the midfield. I thought that I could play that position with good technical ability, but now I realized that the positional sense of different players caused the difference in ability.
There is a big difference. Seeing this, Zhang Sheng asked Gao Jun on the bench: "There is still half an hour left in the second half. Can you hold on physically?"
"It's definitely no problem, coach. It's not the same for everyone. I guarantee there won't be any problems for 30 minutes." Gao Jun answered simply.
"Okay, go warm up quickly and replace Lin Feng later." Zhang Sheng said.
Gao Jun immediately took off his substitute clothes and responded: "Okay." Then he started to warm up on the sidelines.
Shen Fangjian sighed in addition to sighing about this goal: "Coach Lippi's substitutions are really magical. Two simple substitutions, one made a successful steal and the other scored. It can be said that the field changed instantly.
He truly deserves to be the top coach in the world."
Xu Yang also said: "In the position of coach, many old coaches have very rich coaching experience, and they have proved the saying, 'You are still better when you are old'."
After the kick-off again, the Evergrande team's momentum was completely up. Qin Sheng and Zhao Xuyang's desperate scramble and sweep in the midfield left the Longteng team with no chance to attack for a while. Conca's state was also completely eliminated.
activated.
In the 16th minute of the second half, Gao Lin received a powerful volley from Conca in the middle of the penalty area. Wang Peng and Lu Zhihui blocked it together before the ball flew out of the penalty area. Two minutes later, another 45-degree diagonal pass from Conca to Gao Lin was in the penalty area.
On the right side, Wang Peng's header went wide. In the next 22 minutes, Feng Junyan's left-foot shot from the top of the arc was blocked by Shu Jun. Jin Yingquan, who assisted in front, fell to the ground and shot low with his left foot into the far corner. The ball missed
The right column is slightly offset.
Facing the Evergrande team's wave after wave of offensives, the Longteng team's defense is like a boat in a stormy sea, and may be completely overturned at any time.
At this time, Gao Jun was finally able to play. Zhang Sheng quickly raised his hand to indicate that the Longteng team wanted to make a substitution.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened to Zhang Sheng at this time.
After the Longteng team was continuously besieged, Mahrez, who had done relatively nothing in this game, decided to make a breakthrough. After receiving Shu Jun's pass, facing Qin Sheng's defense, he began to make a decisive breakthrough.
First, he stepped on his bicycle in front of Qin Sheng, and then suddenly passed the ball to Ivo next to him. Ivo also understood the ball and passed it over Zhao Xuyang, preparing to play a one-two with Mahrez.
It should be said that this pass was very imaginative. It just passed Zhao Xuyang and allowed Mahrez to continue dribbling the ball with a light head. But just when Mahrez used his head to head the ball, he was ready to break through with the ball.
At that moment, Qin Sheng raised his leg high to play with the ball, and then he kicked Mahrez directly in the face. Fortunately, the kick was not very hard, but Mahrez
Immediately his face was covered with blood.
Ma Ning rushed over and gave Qin Sheng a yellow card immediately. If he hadn't seen that Qin Sheng's kick was not heavy and he stopped his kick later, he would have been given a red card for this kick. But Mahrez
It was obvious that the game could not continue, because after Li Xiang, the team doctor of the Longteng team, went up to check, he immediately waved his hand to the sidelines and said that he had to go out for treatment and that a substitution was needed. Because Li Xiang found out that Mahrez’s body was injured during the examination.
His consciousness was a little blurry. Li Xiang drew several numbers in succession, but Mahrez couldn't answer them correctly.
Li Xiang immediately thought of the injury as a concussion. Then he discovered that Qin Sheng's kick had completely hit the bridge of his nose. Mahrez's nose must have been broken.
Zhang Sheng was very worried on the sidelines, because Mahrez is his sharpest knife in the frontcourt. If he is seriously injured, it will really be a big trouble. Even if he can defeat Guangzhou Evergrande, the FA Cup final will be difficult.
beated.
But the current situation on the field forced Zhang Sheng to take emergency measures. Zhang Sheng had to replace Mahrez with Gao Jun, allowing Lin Feng to return to the right midfielder position. (To be continued.)
