Zhang Sheng was very satisfied with this goal, because the fierce attack in the first half was Zhang Sheng's requirement.
Since last season, Guangzhou Evergrande has been nicknamed "Untouchable in the Second Half", and Evergrande fans have set a minimum cost for their team at home, which is to score at least three goals against the opponent.
From these slogans, we can certainly see the strength of Evergrande, but it also exposed some problems, especially in the second half when it couldn't afford this title.
The reason why Evergrande is said to be untouchable in the second half is that they scored very few goals in the first half and even conceded a lot of goals. There are many reasons for the whole problem. One is that in the first half, basically all the players came to the goal.
The Celestial Team will retreat and defend and counterattack. One reason is that Evergrande's players are relatively slow to enter the game state.
It is an old problem that Evergrande's players are slow to enter the match state. The main reason is that Evergrande plays far more games each season than other clubs. Take last season as an example, in addition to the league, they also play in the AFC Champions League.
At the same time, the Football Association Cup also reached the semi-finals. Later, when other clubs were resting and adjusting, they went to play in the Club World Cup. Since Evergrande has many national team players in the team, in addition to the Chinese national team, there are also
There are players from the Korean national team, and in later generations, there are also players from the Brazilian national team. The non-stop high-intensity games make it difficult for the players to get excited as soon as the game starts. These reasons make it often difficult for Evergrande to enter after the game starts.
state.
However, due to Evergrande's exquisite tactical arrangements and strong players, once they enter the state, their full-court press, high-post press and pressing style of play will gradually show their power. In order to resist the Evergrande team's pressure, many
After the team came to Celestial Body, they would consume a lot of physical energy to resist, but the lack of footwork or lack of tactical ability often caused them to completely collapse in the second half. This allowed Evergrande to often score a lot of goals in the second half.
It also resulted in the lowest consumption of celestial bodies.
Of course, this is also related to the coaching ability of Evergrande head coach Lippi. As the world's top coach, his ability to adjust on the spot is unparalleled. He can often improve the situation on the field or reverse the situation through substitutions. This is what Lippi has learned through
A reflection of the ability to capture the opponent's tactical weaknesses in the first half of the game.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng's tactics in the game were very clear. He used Evergrande's lack of form at the beginning or the entire first half to attack hard, and used his local advantages to score goals. After all, Zhang Sheng had a super star like Pato in his hands.
The opportunity to seize your abilities is first-class.
And this tactic really worked. It was Mahrez Garinfeng's advantage on the right that gave Pato the chance to shoot.
When Zhang Sheng applauded vigorously and praised the disciples on the court, Lippi was very angry on the sidelines.
Lippi was not angry because he lost the ball, but because he had reminded Pato of his characteristics before the game. When Pato got the ball for the first time, no player came up to interfere, but waited for him to calm down.
Just take the shot. For a player like Pato, once he takes the ball and starts to move, and you interfere again, it means that you are not far away from conceding the ball.
Lippi had no choice but to shout to the players on the court: "Pay attention to the press and don't relax!" After saying this, Lippi pointed to his head with his finger, which meant that everyone should pay attention.
The Evergrande players on the field also nodded with serious expressions.
Zhang Bing, who was in charge of the commentary, said: "It seems that the Evergrande players are still very tired. This goal is completely due to the players not keeping up with the rhythm of the Longteng team. Under normal circumstances, Evergrande's pressing will be more proactive than this."
There are many.”
Zhou Ning also said: "That's true. But I also want to say that the main reason is that the Longteng team is strong enough. Facing a team like the Longteng team, as long as you lose concentration on the court for a second, their players will have the ability."
Let you learn a lesson. Beijing Guoan has suffered losses from them before. This year they spent tens of millions of euros to introduce superstars like Pato, which will make it even more difficult. I think all teams in this year's
Be careful with Jiangcheng Longteng's team."
Amid their explanations, Evergrande launched a powerful offensive.
In the opening game, at their home court, as a double champion last season, the newly promoted team scored the first goal, and it was a team that repeatedly failed them. Evergrande's players began to devote their full efforts.
to the game.
Once Evergrande's players fully committed themselves, the Longteng team immediately felt strong pressure. The Evergrande players' technical abilities began to show their power, and the pace of the game became very fast.
At this time, Evergrande has been facing a strong dialogue with China for a long time, and the experience of high-intensity games in the AFC Champions League has given Evergrande an advantage on the court. Facing Evergrande’s pressure, the Longteng team gradually took over in the midfield.
Can't keep the ball.
The current situation of the Longteng team should be said to have a lot to do with the lack of Ivo. Without Ivo's organization and scheduling in the frontcourt, Pato can only fall into the defense of multiple opponents' players time and time again in the frontcourt.
And Pato doesn't have a very good passing ability, so every time the Longteng team relies on Lin Feng and Kante's interception to grab the ball and pass it to the frontcourt, it is immediately cut off. Not only Lin Feng and Kante, who are in the defensive midfielders, will
Feeling very powerless, Pato, who was constantly being intercepted, was playing more and more impatiently.
In the 21st minute of the first half, after receiving a pass from Gao Jun, Diamanti used his body to resist Lin Feng and then pushed the ball diagonally to Gao Lin, who was in front of Shu Jun. Gao Lin directly passed the ball when facing Shu Jun's defense.
Assisted Sun Xiang to reach the frontcourt. Sun Xiang took a long shot from outside the penalty area. The ball was saved by Zhou Wei. The ball missed the goal slightly and Evergrande team won a corner kick.
Diamanti's corner kick was in a very good position, right between the goalkeeper and the central defender. Zhou Wei barely reached for the ball with his hand. The second point was taken by Deng Qun, but his shot was blocked by
Zhou Wei, who reacted very quickly in the second moment, blocked the crossbar with his leg, and the Evergrande team won another corner kick.
The next corner kick was taken by McGowan and went over the bottom line. Evergrande's third consecutive corner kick came.
Seeing the situation on the court, Zhang Bing said: "Now Evergrande is starting to work hard. Such continuous corner kicks will put a lot of pressure on the opponent."
McGowan still got the first point from the corner kick this time. He pushed the ball out of the penalty area, but it was Diamanti who got the ball from the outside. Diamanti took the ball and volleyed without stopping.
The ball did not leave the penalty area after being pounced by Zhou Wei. At this time, Deng Qun showed his sensitivity. He got the ball immediately and then directly poked the ball into the goal.
But at the same time, the linesman's whistle also sounded, and Deng Qun was offside again.
Seeing Evergrande's attack, Zhang Bing said: "Deng Qun's reaction was really fast. He got the second goal in the penalty area twice. Unfortunately, it was offside each time. Each time the score was far behind."
A millimeter."
Zhou Ning also said: "Deng Qun is indeed a natural shooter. His sense of smell in front of the goal is absolutely top-notch, but he is still a little behind in grasping the sense of offside."
Zhou Wei picked the ball out of the net with a look of shock on his face. Evergrande's consecutive corner kicks just now put a lot of pressure on him. As a young goalkeeper, he has never played a game of this intensity. On the court
He has to guard against the opponent's shots at all times, and Diamanti's passes and shots are very difficult for him to handle regardless of their strength, angle or landing.
Zhou Wei played several warm-up matches with the first team before, and they were all European professional teams. Later, he went to the AFC Champions League to face the Japanese team. He thought that was the most difficult game. Now it seems that Evergrande players
The shot is really your first test.
Unfortunately, the situation on the field did not get better due to the efforts of the players. In the 26th minute, the Evergrande team once again played a wonderful attack. After Rene intercepted Pato's ball in the midfielder position, he handed the ball to Gao
Jun organized, Gao Jun took the ball and passed it directly to Diamanti. Diamanti succeeded in countering offside. Unfortunately, after he broke into the penalty area, Zhou Wei's shot was too weak, and Zhou Wei firmly pressed the ball.
Beneath him, Team Dragon escaped once again.
Faced with this kind of pressure, Zhang Sheng had to think of a way on the sidelines. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Sheng could only imitate other teams and temporarily shrink the team's formation, allowing Wenkai to serve as a fulcrum in the frontcourt.
, make a ball for Pato and let Pato run.
It should be said that this approach worked quickly. In the 33rd minute, Wenkai got the ball in the frontcourt. He didn't think about turning around and shooting. He directly distributed the ball to Yu Bo who came to meet him from the wing. Yu Bo faced him.
There was no way to advance against **Peng's defense, so he handed the ball to Lin Feng who came over to respond. Lin Feng was smart enough to pass the ball back to Kanter in the face of Rene's pressing. Kanter directly hit the ball this time.
A through ball was given to Pato.
None of the Evergrande players expected that Kante, a player who has always been responsible for defense, has the ability to pass the ball. When Pato got the ball, their attack was already a bit slow, and Jin Yingquan, who came to attack, had to throw him.
The way he pulled down Pato, for the foul in front of the penalty area, the referee decisively showed a yellow card, but Pato was unwilling to do so, because once the ball passed, Pato could shoot directly in the penalty area, and he was watched to death 2o
A few minutes later, an opportunity finally came and was ruined. Pato was very angry.
But this is Evergrande's home court after all, and the referee cannot give out a red card casually. Moreover, Evergrande played very cleanly on the court before and did not make any major defensive moves, so the referee just let it go.
The next free kick, because Ivo was not on the court, was handed over to Mahrez. In the end, because his strength was too weak, he was hugged by Li Shuai.
After this attack, Evergrande did not dare to press too hard. After all, the Longteng midfielder showed that there were at least two ball release points. In addition, Pato's attack speed was too fast, and he already had a ball on his back.
Kim Young Kwon with a yellow card is very dangerous.
In the end, the first half ended in a stranglehold between the two sides in the midfield, and the Longteng team returned to the locker room with a goal advantage. (To be continued.)
