After SIPG ended its attack, the first half of the game came to an end, and the two sides returned to the locker room at the referee's whistle.
During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng gave the players a reminder: “I know everyone wants to express themselves, but I hope you remember that all your performances are based on the team’s victory.
The team logo in front of you is always more important than the name behind you."
Zhang Sheng's words obviously contained a warning. Although Zhang Sheng did not name who he was, Lin Feng still lowered his head in embarrassment. Obviously, he also knew that what Zhang Sheng was talking about was a rash action he made near the end of the first half.
Dribbling the ball in the frontcourt.
After saying this, Zhang Sheng did not say anything more. After all, the players performed very well most of the time in the first half. Even Lin Feng, who made mistakes later, was also very good most of the time in the front.
, and also contributed an assist.
In the dressing room of SIPG, Xi Zhikang seemed a little distressed. SIPG's lagging behind is not a tactical problem. The team has adhered to this set of tactics for many years, and it is impossible to change it just because of one game.
, at the same time, this game is not about the players. The players on the field have worked very hard, and they have grasped the rare opportunities very well. The last offensive opportunity almost scored a goal.
Taken together, this situation can only explain one problem, that is, the players on the field in Shanghai SIPG are not as strong as the Longteng team. This is embarrassing. The strength of the league leader's team is actually not as good as the eighth-ranked team in the league, and now
It is still at someone else's home court, so in this game SIPG can only seriously understand the situation and play defensive counterattack in the second half.
Based on this reality, Xi Zhikang began to arrange the tactics for the second half: "The opponent in this game is very strong. We must have a clear understanding now, that is, it is unrealistic for us to rely on positional offense to penetrate the opponent's defense step by step.
Things have happened, so in the second half we have to play defensive counterattacks and use Wu Lei and Heisen's wing breakthroughs to hit the ribs between their full-backs and center backs, especially the gap between their center back McGowan and the full-backs.
The ribs are the focus of our strong attack, taking advantage of McGowan's slow turning speed."
In fact, the players were not convinced by Xi Zhikang's words. The team is currently ranked in the league table. When facing the newly promoted team ranked eighth in the league, although it is an away game, the head coach actually said that the strength is not as good as the opponent. This is really ridiculous.
But after all, the head coach is the leader of a team. Since the head coach has made the decision, the players have no choice but to follow his arrangements.
However, the inconsistent mentality of the players and the head coach was completely reflected on the playing field. Only 3 minutes into the second half, the Longteng team scored again. This time, Ding Huaiyi faced the help of two SIPG players on the wing.
A beautiful pass through the crotch, and then broke out before the two of them closed the door. This time SIPG's left wing was completely empty. Ding Huaiyi, who rushed in with the ball, also told SIPG why he deserves to be focused on. Facing
Ding Huaiyi dribbled the ball, and Cai Huikang, who came to defend, repeated the move he used against Lin Feng in the first half to squeeze the opponent with his body. However, Ding Huaiyi's foot skills were by no means comparable to Lin Feng's. Cai Huikang's clumsy defense had no effect, but his physical strength
He used too much force and was knocked down. Ding Huaiyi used his signature move - flicking the cow's tail. Cai Huikang, who fell to the ground, could only helplessly watch Ding Huaiyi go away.
Ding Huaiyi, who came to the penalty area, passed the ball to Wen Kai with a clever pass. Wen Kai jumped high and made a powerful top shot and scored, extending the score to 2:o.
Facing this goal, another domestic commentator became a fan of Ding Huaiyi. When commenting on the goal replay, Liu Jiayuan kept saying: "Oh! My God, this is a real football wizard. Look.
Ding Huaiyi's kicking ball is really a pleasure. This dribbling after passing through the crotch is really elegant, and this time the cow's tail is passed, even if the opponent's player doesn't know what Ding Huaiyi wants to do, but his body
There is no way to deal with conditioned reflexes. Cai Huikang's center of gravity was completely lost at once. Look at Ding Huaiyi's last pass. It was so thoughtful. The opponent's defender did not expect the sudden pass while dribbling the ball high.
, On the contrary, the Longteng team's forward suddenly started. This tacit understanding is really needless to say. In the end, Wen Kai's header was also very powerful. The goalkeeper had no choice. China has not had players like this for decades.
Only then can one be produced.”
Wenkai's goal made the SIPG players understand why the head coach said during the halftime break that they were not as good as the opponent. Not only did the players of the Longteng team play very smoothly with tactics, they also had great skills on the court.
There are many players who can suddenly break the offensive rhythm. If everyone does not be vigilant and focus most of their energy on defense, it is very likely that they will be completely defeated.
In the next game, SIPG began to faithfully implement Xi Zhikang's defensive counterattack tactics. The defensive players no longer easily passed the half, but used help defense in their own half to prevent the Longteng team's offense, and then used
Wu Lei's deft movement hit the Longteng team's backcourt ribs.
Zhang Sheng was completely relieved on the sidelines at this time. If a young team has no momentum, it is difficult to pose a threat to the opponent. The strength of young people lies in their unyielding spirit of moving forward. Once this trend
Once their momentum is gone, their threat will be greatly weakened.
Sure enough, SIPG's sharp offense was no longer seen in the following games, but more of the exhausting defense in the backcourt. Even though there were a few long passes from the backcourt to Wu Lei and Haisen, the two of them were in the frontcourt.
If there is no opportunity to connect, we can only rely on our personal abilities to fight alone. However, neither Wu Lei nor Haisen has the ability to solve the problem by standing alone.
After 2:o, the Longteng team also took the initiative to slow down the tempo. After all, the Longteng team had just finished an AFC Champions League game four days ago. It took a lot of physical energy. When the team's advantage was determined, there was no need to fight.
It was amazing. Seeing that the rhythm on the court had slowed down, Zhang Sheng also began to mobilize his troops. First, at the 73rd minute, he replaced Ding Huaiyi, who had played two consecutive games, and then Zhang Sheng replaced Wen Kai with Zou Weijia.
.
The substitutions of the Longteng team allowed SIPG's defense to breathe a sigh of relief. They began to try to press the formation slightly outward to reverse the decline, but soon Mahrez and Pato teamed up to attack again and almost scored again.
Let SIPG shrink its defense line again.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng used up his last substitution spot at the 80th minute. He replaced Ma Yongli with Du Zhenyu, who had been playing the core of the defense during this period. This was also the first time Du Zhenyu represented Long Teng.
The team goes out to play official games.
Regarding this substitution, Liu Jiayuan said: "Coach Zhang Sheng's substitution is already meant to train new players. Now he is replaced by young player Du Zhenyu. He is only 18 years old this year, but the main defender Ma Yongli who was replaced is just over 19.
Years old, the players on the Longteng team are really young."
Du Zhenyu did not have stage fright after coming on the court, because he and Ma Yongli are the same type of central defenders, so the Dragons did not hand over the ball-playing task in the backcourt to McGowan, but let Du Zhenyu directly take over Ma Yongli's tactical positioning.
When Du Zhenyu played the ball on the back line, he also remembered Zhang Sheng's instructions before letting him go on the field: "Now the team is already 2:0 ahead, so don't worry about the impact on the team's victory. After playing, it will still be the same as before."
The echelon is the same as the reserve team. You are responsible for connecting the ball in the backcourt and the midfield. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, just do your best."
So when Liu Jiayuan saw Du Zhenyu playing the ball frequently in the defense, he was a little shocked: "It's unimaginable. Coach Zhang Sheng is really big-hearted. This 18-year-old defender actually took over Ma Yongli.
The right to play the ball in the backcourt. I have to say that coach Zhang Sheng is really willing to work hard on the training of young players. He is willing to let the players perform in key positions such as center back according to their own technical characteristics. This is very important for the growth of young players.
It will be very important, no wonder the outstanding young players of the Longteng team can appear one after another."
And Du Zhenyu did not disappoint Zhang Sheng. Although SIPG worked hard to let Wu Lei and Haisen consciously attack Du Zhenyu's position several times, Du Zhenyu performed very steadily and did not give them many opportunities until the end of the game.
, Du Zhenyu showed everyone well in this position what it means to be young and mature.
Liu Jiayuan also announced in a positive tone: "Judging from the performance of these 10 minutes, another outstanding young defender has emerged. Those who have doubts about the Longteng team's center back bench reserve are obviously disappointed."
After this game, the Longteng team pulled the SIPG team down from the ranking, and its own position rose to 6th. After 5 league games, the Longteng team has gradually begun to adapt to the rhythm of the league.
At the same time, another thing that makes Zhang Sheng happy is that the system finally notified him that it has completed Lin Feng's position transformation task. At this point, Zhang Sheng has also obtained the talent of "ubiquity". In the future, Zhang Sheng can let players with a single position play more
Too many locations.
And another thing that surprised Zhang Sheng was that Lin Feng actually increased his potential value through this position transformation. Although the increase was not much, it only increased from 75 to 78, but this was the first time that Zhang Sheng did not use potential for his players.
The pill achieved this effect, so Zhang Sheng excitedly called out the system girls to ask for clarification.
When Zhang Sheng asked the system girl this question, her answer also made Zhang Sheng excited: "Isn't it right for Lin Feng's potential to be improved? He has transformed from a simple right midfielder through his own efforts to a
A midfielder who is fully offensive and defensive, this proves that he has the potential to do better, and it is natural for his potential to increase."
Zhang Sheng immediately asked: "Isn't the current potential of each player not their ultimate potential?"
The system girl made a "cut" sound and said: "How strange, if the potential values of all players are fixed, then how did those players with uncertain potentials come out? When did I tell you that the potential values of all players are all
Is it fixed?”
Hearing the system girl's explanation, Zhang Sheng was ecstatic: "So in the future, will all players be able to increase their potential through position changes?"
The system girl sighed and shook her head and said: "I wonder why you, like some Chinese fans, often like to go from one extreme to another. Some players' position changes can indeed increase their potential, but most players should
It's still the same, but sometimes he becomes a useless player because he plays too many positions - he can play everywhere, but he can't play well anywhere. Transformation is risky, so you need to be cautious when making decisions."
"Then how do I know which players will improve after transformation and which players will get worse after transformation?" Zhang Sheng then asked.
The system girl said: "Then it depends on your judgment on the players. Isn't it your judgment as the head coach that a player's style is suitable for which position? You need my system to help you with everything, so what else do you need to do?
"
Faced with the system girl's answer, Zhang Sheng could only wrap his head around it. He was indeed a little too dependent on the system and had forgotten his responsibilities as a head coach. He had to apologize for his wrong mentality:
"It's my fault. I shouldn't neglect my own work too much. I will work harder in the future."
The system girl said with a smile: "That's right. This is the level that a head coach selected by a wise and powerful system like me should have. I have already purchased your new talent and the reward for completing this mission.
Take a good look at it."
Only then did Zhang Sheng remember another purpose of summoning the system - to check his own information. The system soon showed him.
