But when it came to the arrangements before the game, Zhang Sheng had a different explanation for the players.
As the opening game of the new season, they have been waiting for several months. Evergrande fans who had not watched the game were very passionate. The celestial body was filled up early, and the atmosphere at the scene was also very hot.
Even in the locker room with good soundproofing conditions, Longteng players can still hear the noisy sounds outside.
Zhang Sheng had to raise his voice to explain to the players: "I won't go into details about the importance of this game. I hope this game can give us a good start to the season. We have already practiced it in previous training.
I’ve been watching today’s game for a long time.”
"There are two people we must pay attention to in this game. One is Diamanti. This player has very comprehensive abilities, but his real threat is in set pieces and long shots. After he entered our backcourt 3o
meters behind him, so the players around him who are marking him must press him and not give him a chance to shoot. At the same time, we must try to give him as few free kick opportunities as possible from the front. As for the others,
I think as long as he can block his passing line, it will be difficult for him to pass the ball." Zhang Sheng first assigned defensive tasks.
Zhang Sheng said to Kante, who was sitting opposite: "Diamanti played the central midfielder position in this game, just opposite you. He is not the kind of player with a very strong body, and his skills at his feet are also very good.
It’s not very sudden. Your task is to restrict his movements and prevent him from easily taking off.” Then Zhang Sheng said to Bo: “Diamanti’s habit is to be beaten in the middle.
After blocking, he likes to lean to the right. For a player like him who does not have much breakthrough ability, the purpose of leaning to the right is to cooperate with the players. Then it will be up to you to defend him in the midfield.
"
Yu Bo said confidently: "I know, coach, just look at me."
Next, Zhang Sheng began to arrange offensive tasks. He drew a circle on Rene's position on the tactical board and said: "Our key target in this game is this player. Before the game, I also told everyone
I have introduced him. He is a very high-spirited player. As a defensive midfielder, he always likes to dribble the ball forward, and his way of dribbling basically relies on physical fitness to beat the opponent, so once everyone finds him, he will take the ball forward.
When you see the ball and there is an action of dribbling forward, you immediately surround him. The first thing after the attack is to pass the ball out immediately to counterattack. Based on his previous experience of playing in the Brazilian League A
It seems that it is very possible to open a gap from his place."
After saying this, Zhang Sheng said to Kanter: "This game depends on you. Defending Rene's forward penetration is also your most important task."
Kanter nodded and agreed: "I know."
In the home team's dressing room, Lippi was assigning tasks to the players. What he focused on was Pato: "Pato is a player whose speed and shooting skills are first-class, but there is one thing about his dribbling that is not very good.
His habit is to stop the ball a little further away from his body, and then add it at the same time. Our two midfielders must pay attention to this characteristic of him at all times. When he stops the ball, he must be in physical contact with him. His confrontation ability is not the same.
He's not strong, but as long as he does this well and doesn't let him get overheated or let him shoot at will, he won't be a threat because his passing ability is very average."
What Lippi is really worried about is the left wing, because judging from the two previous games against the Dragon Team, Mahrez's offensive ability on the right wing of the Dragon Team is too strong. Lippi has tried different people to defend him.
, but none of them were successful, except for those bad fouls. Regarding this foreign aid, Lippi really wanted to pull him over, but he also knew that the Longteng team would definitely not let him go.
In this game, a large number of players were unable to play due to injuries and physical problems, so they could only play Gao Lin on the left. Whether the duo of Gao Lin and Sun Xiang could guard Mahrez is still a big question. Lippi
He had to warn: "The focus of Longteng's offense is usually on their right wing. In this game, Rene, you have to go there to help Gao Lin and Sun Xiang defend."
Rene looked relaxed: "I will complete this task."
After a previous song and dance performance and a speech by the leader, the opening match of the 2014 mid-season league finally started. Before the start of the game, due to the recent Kunming incident and the recent Malaysia Airlines MH37O crash, players from both sides
They all observed a minute of silence in the center circle.
As the home team, Guangzhou Evergrande kicked off first. Both Gao Jun and Deng Qun played in this game. One of them stood in the midfielder position to replace Huang Bowen, and the other was at the forefront of the team. What is rare is that
Zheng Zhi returned to the central defender position in this game. It seems that Evergrande's injuries and physical fitness have indeed had a great impact on them, so that there is no suitable person on the back line.
In order to show its importance to this game, the Chinese Football Association selected "Golden Whistle" Li Jun to enforce the game. As an old man in the Chinese refereeing community, Li Jun's law enforcement ability is still very good. The person responsible for commentating this game is Zhang Bing
and Zhou Ning.
As soon as the game started, Evergrande's two foreign players showed their strength. As soon as Pato received a pass from his teammate in the frontcourt, Rene used his body to squeeze Pato away and then started dribbling the ball.
Diamanti, who came to respond, reached out for the ball. When Diamanti got the ball, Yu Bo and midfielder Lin Feng came over to intercept it, but Diamanti firmly controlled the ball at his feet.
After Diamanti passed the ball, Yu Bo took the shot. Li Jun decisively called the foul on the Longteng team. Guangzhou Evergrande won a free kick on the midfield sideline in the first 3 minutes.
The fans on the field responded with warm applause to Rene and Diamanti's performance together.
Zhang Bing also said: "Diamanti shows the ability of high-level European players. He can pass the ball out when flanked by two people. Rene's steal is also very beautiful."
Afterwards, Diamanti's free kick was pushed out by McGowan, but the second spot on the outside was grabbed by the Evergrande team. Diamanti's through ball was handed to Deng Qun, who was in the penalty area.
Nei decisively took a shot. Fortunately, Zhou Wei was still very focused and saved the ball from the bottom line.
When the Evergrande team was about to take a corner kick, the linesman raised the flag, indicating that Deng Qun was in an offside position.
Regarding this attack, Zhang Bing said: "Deng Qun just transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande from Longteng this season, and faced his old club in the first game. However, his performance was very good. The ball just played back in slow motion, which is
After half a body, everyone said that Deng Qun's style is like Inzaghi. It seems to be true. He is more sensitive to the offside position of the forward than anyone else. As an Italian, Diamanti should be more sensitive to the offside position of the forward.
This scene is very familiar, the ball just now was Diamanti’s pass.”
After withstanding the opening three blows from Guangzhou Evergrande, the Longteng team started its own attack.
Mahrez on the right was the first to win. In the 13th minute of the first half, Shu Jun on the right received a pass from the goalkeeper, and then began to seek cooperation with his teammates, and it was Lin Feng who came to respond and got the
Lin Feng, who was holding the ball, faced Gao Lin and Rene who came to help defend, and decisively handed the ball to Mahrez. When both Gao Lin and Rene thought that Mahrez would still use his own skills to pass, Mahrez used one
A non-stop pass passed the ball to Shu Jun who stepped in from behind. Shu Jun also kept a non-stop pass to Lin Feng. When Rene fiercely rushed to defend Lin Feng, Lin Feng also responded.
Showing his strong passing and receiving ability, he still passed the ball to Mahrez when faced with Rene's body collision.
This time, the Longteng team completely penetrated Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield defensive formation through the attacking triangle of the three midfielders.
Zhang Bing, who was in charge of the commentary, said: "Oh! Oh! Oh! A beautiful pass with five consecutive shots without stopping the ball. The Longteng team's midfield attack completely penetrated Evergrande's midfield defense. This is definitely the case."
The most beautiful midfield combination in the round.”
In Zhang Bing's words, Mahrez completely increased his speed. Facing Sun Xiang who came to defend, Mahrez used his foot skills to leave him behind, and then faced him to make up the defense.
Jin Yingquan, Mahrez did not stick to the ball at all, and directly knocked the ball to Pato. This time Pato showed his ability. When the ball came, Pato rushed up his speed and faced the opponent.
Facing Zheng Zhi who came to block, Pato's speed left him completely helpless. In the blink of an eye, Pato broke into the penalty area. As soon as he entered the penalty area, Pato decisively took a shot. This shot was very decisive.
The power is great, the speed is very fast, and the angle is very tricky.
The goalkeeper of Guangzhou Evergrande in this game is Li Shuai. This is a player who has been a substitute for a long time, and his ability gap with the main player Zeng Cheng is relatively large. Facing a shot like Pato, he has no way to do it. Wait for him
When he got up to save the ball, the ball had already flown into the net.
Regarding this goal, Zhang Bing shouted: "Pato's shot went in. This is the ability of a star. It's so beautiful. When receiving the pass from Mahrez, Pato's speed increased. There was no
Giving the defensive players any chance to defend, the final shot was so powerful that the goalkeeper had no choice. However, the beautiful passing breakthrough before and Mahrez's last pass have to say that the Longteng team's frontcourt
The offensive ability is really strong.”
Zhou Ning also said: "This is not the first time for me to commentate on the Longteng team's game. I have seen the Longteng team pass the ball continuously without stopping countless times before. This has always been their playing style. It should be said that in
The entire Chinese football world is unique.” (To be continued.)
