When the players from both sides returned to the locker room, the head coaches of both sides also had different attitudes.
Faced with the lagging situation, Lippi did not criticize the players too much, because the injuries and fatigue in the team are obvious now, and his players have already implemented the tactics except giving Pato one chance in the first half.
It's true that Lippi has already experienced the strength of his opponent and cannot treat the Dragons as an ordinary newly promoted team.
After waiting for the players to change into new autumn clothes, Lippi called the players over and said: "I know you are all tired now. You also played very hard in the first half of the game. Many players were very tired."
We are tired, but today is our opening game and also our home court. Countless eyes from the outside world are staring at us. I hope you can persevere."
The players remembered the boss's kill order before the game and cheered up.
Lippi continued: "I will make personnel adjustments in the second half. Mei Fang, you replace Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi has just returned from the national team, and his physical fitness is likely to have problems in the second half. Then Feng Renliang, you replace Rong Hao and let
Rong Hao also needs a good rest."
These two matchup substitutions should be said to be the few cards Lippi has in his hand now.
Mei Fang was the captain of Jiangcheng Zall last season. After Jiangcheng Zall was relegated, Mei Fang never renewed his contract with the Zall team. He reported directly to Evergrande as soon as the season ended. In recent years, Evergrande has performed well because of its good results.
The salary is high, which is very attractive to many players, especially the core players of relegated Chinese teams.
At the end of the 2o12 season, the relegated Henan Jianye was snatched away by Evergrande as its main goalkeeper and later the absolute main force of the national team, Zeng Cheng. At the same time, the core of Jianye's defense, the international Zhao Peng, was also packed away. This
After the season ended, two similarly relegated teams were poached. Jiangcheng Zall, whose captain Mei Fang was transferred to Evergrande on a free transfer, and another relegated team, Qingdao Zhongneng, whose captain Liu Jian was poached by Evergrande.
However, the weaknesses of the two players Lippi replaced are also very obvious. First of all, Mei Fang does have first-class physical fitness, strong frontal defensive ability, and is not slow to turn around, but he has a big weakness in that he has rough skills with his feet.
The sense of position in the penalty area is not very strong. Needless to say, Feng Renliang is a player who is strong in offense and defense. He is fast and has strong breakthrough ability. He has the ability to dribble the ball long-distance and score long shots, and he is capable of playing both left and right.
, but his subjective awareness of defense is relatively weak, his defensive ability is very average, and he can't come back after attacking, which means he is a player like him.
Lippi's idea is very clear, which is to let Mei Fang on the back line to resist Wen Kai's impact and fulcrum, let Feng Renliang attack desperately on the right wing, and Peng Peng can help him wipe his ass.
In the visiting team's locker room, Zhang Sheng praised the players: "Everyone played very well in the first half, especially Lin Feng did a very good job in the offensive connection in the midfield. You have to continue to strengthen in the second half.
When it comes to running, everyone in the midfield should also try to get closer to Lin Feng, so that Lin Feng can reduce the running distance as much as possible."
Zhang Sheng's arrangement is also a helpless move. Gao Jun's transfer and Ivo's injury have left the two organizers in the midfield and behind. Now the team can only rely on Lin Feng's strong connection ability in the midfield.
Running, but Lin Feng's physical fitness is not enough to support him running up and down, so other players can only be asked to stay as close to Lin Feng as possible when Lin Feng is running in place to reduce Lin Feng's physical consumption.
After waiting for the player's nod, Zhang Sheng said to Kante: "The pass you made to Pato in the first half was very good. When Lin Feng was not physically fit enough and ran less, I hope you can make more passes."
Such a ball comes out."
Kanter asked: "What if a pass like this fails?"
Zhang Sheng smiled and said: "It's okay. Your pass from the midfielder position will not have much impact on the team's defense, but once such a pass is successful, it will be a very good opportunity to attack."
Kanter nodded and said, "I know how to do it."
Zhang Sheng knows that Kanter's passing ability in the first half was not a fluke. After a season of training, Kanter's passing index has improved significantly, but now he does not have much confidence.
Once he can pass a few more passes like this, his future path will become smoother and smoother.
Next, Zhang Sheng said to Pato: "You may be marked more strictly in the second half. What do you think about this?"
Pato endured it for a moment and said: "Should I strengthen the transfer of passes?"
Zhang Sheng nodded and said: "Yes. You have also seen that they have two players to mark you in this game. I hope you can move the ball quickly when there is no good opportunity, just like you
Just like last year at Corinthians."
Pato also nodded and said: "I know, but I still want to shoot if I have a good chance."
Zhang Sheng also agreed and said: "There is no problem with this. Shooting is your strength. If you think there is a good chance to shoot, you can take it yourself. I trust your judgment."
Pato said happily: "I know. I will judge for myself."
When the two sides of the game were planning their tactics for the second half, Zhang Bing and Zhou Ning were also summarizing the first half of the game and the possibilities for the second half.
Zhang Bing asked Zhou Ning: "Director Zhou, what changes do you think Evergrande will see in the second half? After all, Evergrande is lagging behind and doesn't have a good chance on the court."
Zhou Ning said: "I think Coach Lippi is very likely to replace players who have just finished playing for the national team, because from the performance of the first half we can see that several national team players played in this game, including Zheng Zhi,
Rong Hao’s performance is average, it’s up to coach Lippi to make some adjustments.”
Zhang Bing also said: "Indeed, the national team war that just ended seems to have had a very big impact on their physical fitness. Although Evergrande suppressed the Longteng team to a certain extent in this game, the players obviously ran away.
There were some movement problems and he did not create a good scoring opportunity. On the contrary, Lin Feng, the midfielder of the Longteng team, performed very well. His ability to run up and down the midfield, organize and connect was very strong."
Zhou Ning also said: "It is true. In the last AFC Champions League game of the Longteng team, Lin Feng has shown a very strong ability to organize the midfield. If he continues to play like this, there will definitely be a place for him in the national team. Heng
He will definitely be restricted in the second half."
Sure enough, after the second half of the game started, Rene restricted Lin Feng's running very much. His physical fitness was much better than that of Lin Feng. In the confrontation with Rene, Lin Feng was often at a disadvantage. As a last resort, Lin Feng could only return.
When it comes to the defensive midfielder position, try to move forward as little as possible, because once Lin Feng, as the defensive midfielder, is intercepted, the defensive blow to the Longteng team will be very big.
The reduction of Lin Feng's forward penetration gave Evergrande more energy to attack in the midfield. At this time, there was also light rain in the sky in Guangzhou, which made the football move faster.
In the 53rd minute, Guangzhou Evergrande launched an attack near the left sideline. Rene once again penetrated from the midfielder position to the Longteng team's penalty area. After receiving Gao Lin's pass, he squeezed away with his body.
Lin Feng took a long shot directly towards the goal, but Zhou Wei saved the ball from the bottom line.
Diamanti got a good chance in the 60th minute. He once again received a pass from Gao Jun. When facing Kanter's defense, he took a step forward with the ball. Kanter did not expect the slippery grass on a rainy day.
To the extent that he stretched his legs to reach the ball, the ball missed it. Diamanti did not expect Kanter to make such a mistake. After getting the ball, he directly kicked the ball and shot. The shot was very sudden. Zhou Wei's
The jump was a bit late, but luckily the ball hit the lintel and bounced out of the baseline. The Longteng team was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
Faced with such continuous pressure from the Evergrande team, Zhang Sheng decided to make adjustments, allowing Kanter to organize the ball from the midfielder position.
Sure enough, this move worked. In the 64th minute, Kanter pretended to pass the ball to Lin Feng, and Diamanti was deceived. Kanter directly dribbled the ball forward and waited until just now.
Halfway through the midfield, Kanter passed the ball to Yu Bo, but Feng Renliang, who was supposed to come over to defend Yu Bo immediately, did not actively interfere, allowing Yu Bo to simply push the ball directly to the edge of the penalty area. After that, Yu Bo decisively started.
Li Shuai took a long shot with his foot, but he didn't expect the ball to be slippery on a rainy day, so he let it go immediately. Wen Kai wanted to go up and take the shot immediately, but Mei Fang firmly blocked his position.
The second reacted very quickly and quickly put the ball under his body.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng decisively gestured on the court to ask the players to take more long-range shots. The slippery turf and ball are now a good time for long-range shots.
It's a pity that Evergrande's players are more experienced. They started to strengthen long-range shots before Lippi's instructions. In the 73rd minute, Diamanti suddenly took a long-range shot more than 30 meters away from the goal.
This time Diamanti fully demonstrated his long-range shooting ability. The slippery football drew an arc in the air and went straight to the upper right corner. Zhou Wei reluctantly pushed the ball aside with his hand, but this time Deng
Chun did not waste the opportunity. He got ahead of all the players and poked the ball into the goal. This time he was not offside and tied the score.
Zhang Bingze said: "Deng Qun's goal, haha! It's really just three things. After the second offside, Deng Qun didn't waste the opportunity this time and shot the ball into the net. Such a player is so persistent."
, always pursuing opportunities to score goals.”
Faced with this goal, Zhang Sheng shook his head helplessly. On rainy days, long-range shots and follow-up shots are more suitable. This combination is really difficult to defend.
After scoring the goal, Deng Qun did not do any celebrations. When his teammates came to celebrate with him, he lowered his head and walked to the midfield.
Zhang Bing said: "Deng Qun is a player trained by coach Zhang Sheng. It seems that he has a lot of affection for the Longteng team. This is his first official goal in Evergrande and he refused to celebrate."
Zhou Ning also said: "We also know that many players in the Longteng team are forgotten players. They basically relied on Zhang Shengzhang's guidance to play. Their feelings are still very deep." (
