69. The intricate Group H situation

This goal can be said to have come very suddenly. It can be said that the young players of the Longteng team have paid the price for their youth, or it can be said that they are really unlucky. A soft whistle and a deflection by the referee caused this goal.

Throw the ball. Pen Quge

Zhang Sheng cannot blame anyone on the sidelines. The players have no responsibility, and neither does he.

Even the commentator Shao Shengyi was silent for a moment when he saw the goal, and then said regretfully: "Well, Kawasaki scored a goal. Let's take a closer look. It was an obvious foul by Maki Yamamoto before, and a player from the Longteng team

They are all in an offensive state, and Nakamura Nobuyoshi's long-range shot is also a reflection. The Longteng team is very unlucky."

While the Kawasaki Frontale players were celebrating wildly, the Longteng team players gathered around the referee to protest against the Kawasaki team's previous foul, because Tao Wentao was still lying on the ground and could not get up.

However, the referee, who had already blown the whistle and believed that the goal was a good goal, shook his head firmly and confirmed that the goal was valid. The excited Tao Wentao almost touched the referee's head with his face. Lu Zhihui, the captain of the field,

He quickly grabbed Tao Wentao to prevent him from receiving unnecessary cards for this already confirmed goal.

Tao Wentao, who was pulled away by Lu Zhihui, was full of frustration. After all, the goal he conceded started when his midfielder was fouled and intercepted. The three-point score the team received also turned into a duck because of the referee's decision.

point.

Seeing that there was no hope of changing the penalty, captain Lu Zhihui could only start to fulfill his responsibility and persuade his teammates to return to their positions. However, in the next few minutes, the game scene became a mess.

After the Long Teng team kicked off, Pato and Mahrez went straight to the opponent's half, and then Mahrez handed the ball to Tao Wentao again. This time Tao Wentao seemed much more careful. But Tao Wentao tried it.

The Kawasaki team, who had experienced the sweetness, came around again. After all, Tao Wentao was still young. When Yamamoto Maki came to defend this time, Tao Wentao, who had a vengeful mentality, pushed him away with his hand. Yamamoto Maki fell down in response. The referee decisively

Came over and whistled Tao Wentao's foul.

This time Tao Wentao was completely shocked. He directly said to the referee: "Just now he made a bigger foul move than me. Why is it not considered a foul? Now my move is not bigger than his!"

The referee did not say anything and decisively gave Tao Wentao a yellow card. This yellow card also completely turned the situation on the court into chaos. Players from both sides gathered around and pushed each other.

When Zhang Sheng was so anxious on the sidelines, Lu Zhihui played the role of captain. He pushed all his teammates away one by one, especially Tao Wentao. He and Pato forced him to pull him away to avoid

resulted in more severe penalties.

The fans on the sidelines were yelling and yelling, and from the "black whistle" at the beginning to the "referee S.B" at the back, the sound echoed throughout the stadium.

Even the commentator Shao Shengyi expressed his opinion: "Tao Wentao did commit a foul on this ball, and it is justifiable to be whistled. However, Yamamoto Maki's previous foul was bigger than this but escaped the penalty, and the consequences were even greater.

Seriously, the Longteng team even lost a goal because of this. So Tao Wentao's objection is normal. Players are not afraid of loose standards on the court, nor are they afraid of strict standards. They are afraid that the penalty standards for the two teams will be inconsistent. Once there is an inconsistency,

Under such circumstances, disputes between the two sides will continue to arise. The referee's decision in this game is indeed questionable."

Zhou Ning, on the other hand, seemed more direct: "I think this penalty is not only debatable, it is an obviously biased penalty, and the team that suffers is the home team. Chinese teams are in Asia.

I won’t suffer a loss once or twice.”

After this penalty, the actions of both sides on the field became larger and larger. Some directly pushed people and made big tackles more and more often. The players were obviously not playing football, but fighting. The referee was because of the continuous

The Dragons suffered a loss, and it was hard to make another move. After all, if another move caused a riot on the stadium, he would not be able to absolve himself of the blame, and his evaluation would most likely be affected.

The referee's softness also caused the game to completely lose control. Seeing that the momentum was not right, he quickly blew the whistle to end the game just after overtime. In fact, according to normal rules, the previous dispute between the two sides on the court was

The time wasted should be made up for. Now he has completely lost control of the situation on the field and had to blow the whistle to end the game as soon as the five minutes of stoppage time were full.

This time, Kawasaki Frontale felt that they were at a disadvantage, because Kawasaki Frontale was now in full swing. If the time was delayed for a few more minutes, it was very likely that they would break through the Longteng team again. Even Kawasaki Frontale's head coach's style

Hachihiro Ma also rushed to the sidelines to argue with the referee. He pointed to the watch on his wrist and said: "The dispute just now wasted at least more than 2 minutes. The actual game time of the five minutes of stoppage time was less than 2 minutes.

This does not meet the standards of stoppage time at all.”

At the same time, there were also Kawasaki Frontale assistant coaches complaining nearby. Perhaps because they had no scruples, their words became more intense. What they got in exchange was a card from the referee, and one of the most emotional assistant coaches was sent off directly.

.

Seeing this scene, the fans on the sidelines laughed loudly, and the commentator Shao Shengyi also disagreed very much: "This game Kawasaki Frontale was not affected by any home whistle at all. On the contrary, the Longteng team playing at home suffered a loss. They also

What’s there to complain about?”

Zhou Ning also said: "It is true. The good situation that the Longteng team has already determined to qualify has been destroyed. If I were the coaching staff of Kawasaki Frontale, I would not even have time to snicker in my heart. The Japanese are really pushing their limits. Now this

The penalties are very accurate. It seems that the head coach is very concerned about others challenging his authority."

At the press conference after the game, Hachihiro Kazama said sullenly: "The team that performed better did not win. This is not the result that a football game should have. We will work harder in the next round.

We still have a crucial game in the AFC Champions League, and we will definitely be the ones to qualify in the end."

As for Zhang Sheng, he said something completely different: "I am proud of my players. After receiving unfair treatment, they still did not let their opponents succeed. Now we are still first in the group and have the initiative to qualify."

The power is still in our hands, and although the next game will be difficult, I don’t think we will give up our goal of qualifying first.”

It should be said that the current situation in Group H is a very complicated and subtle situation. All four teams have the possibility of qualifying in the final round, and they all have the possibility of being eliminated.

The Dragons, who are currently at the top of the group, lead all teams with nine points. They are the most likely to qualify for the next AFC Champions League. Although it will be difficult to travel to Australia to challenge the Western Sydney Wanderers, as long as the Dragons can win

If you reach one point, you will definitely qualify. This is the legendary "If you draw in the last game, you will qualify."

Of course, there is also the possibility that the Longteng team will be eliminated. This possibility is that Kawasaki Frontale must lose to Ulsan Hyundai at home. At the same time, the Longteng team loses to Western Sydney Wanderers by more than 2 goals away from home, or loses by 2 goals and does not score.

If the ball is scored, then the Western Sydney Wanderers will eliminate the Longteng team, which also has nine points, and qualify second in the group stage with the advantage of goal difference or away goals, because at this time Ulsan Hyundai will be ranked third with ten points.

One person.

In other words, as long as the Longteng team does not suffer a huge defeat in the away game, they will definitely qualify.

The team with the second best chance of qualifying is not Ulsan Hyundai, which currently has seven points. Starting from the second half of the group stage, Ulsan Hyundai lost consecutive games due to player injuries and poor physical fitness, whether it was domestic K-League games or Asian games.

It is rare to win in the Champions League. The team's condition is very bad. Historically, Ulsan Hyundai was eliminated after three consecutive losses after accumulating seven points with 2 wins and a draw in the first three games.

Of course, Ulsan Hyundai does not have no chance of qualifying. They challenge Kawasaki Frontale in their last away game. If they can win, they will be able to qualify from the group no matter what the result is between the Dragons and Western Sydney Wanderers. However, the Dragons beat them.

Therefore, they qualify second in the group. If Western Sydney Wanderers beat them, they can qualify first in the group.

But once they fail to win on the road, their situation will be more dangerous. If they can draw with Kawasaki Frontale, they will have to pray that the Dragons draw or beat the Western Sydney Wanderers on the road. Because once the Dragons lose

If they tie, they will be eliminated by one point by the Dragons and Western Sydney Wanderers, who are both on nine points. If they lose in the away game, they will be completely eliminated.

So now it is Western Sydney Wanderers who have a greater chance of qualifying. Although they have only won 2 games and are ranked third in the group, the team's running-in is gradually taking shape, and the team's results are getting better and better. Not only in the AFC Champions League

They have retained the opportunity to qualify in the group stage, and they are now ranked among the top in the Australian League. The long distance between Australia and East Asia also provides them with a good opportunity. All teams going to Australia will have to endure the long journey and time difference.

After adjusting, there is still hope for them to win against the Longteng team.

Once they can beat the Dragons, their hopes of qualifying will greatly increase. If they can beat the Dragons, then as long as Kawasaki Frontale defeats Ulsan Hyundai, they will qualify second in the group. And if their goal difference is higher than two,

Or if they score two goals and seal a zero against the Dragons, then they can qualify no matter what the score is between Kawasaki Frontale and Ulsan Hyundai. If Ulsan Hyundai wins, they will qualify second in the group, and if Kawasaki Frontale wins, they will be even more qualified.

Able to qualify as first in the group.

As for Kawasaki Frontale, who is at the bottom of the group, there is no chance of qualifying. Although they only have 5 points now, as long as they can defeat Ulsan Hyundai, which is not doing well, at home, and the Dragons draw or defeat Western Sydney Wanderers away from home.

Otherwise, they will also qualify as second in the group with 8 points, but the decision to qualify is no longer in their hands.

After this round of games, when the media began to analyze the situation in Group H of the AFC Champions League, they all used words such as intricate and unpredictable to describe this situation. This is different from what everyone thought before the start of the AFC Champions League. Ulsan Hyundai and Kawasaki Frontale will

The situation of easily qualifying together is completely different, but no matter what, everyone agrees that the Dragons and Western Sydney Wanderers already have dark horse potential, especially the current leading Dragons are unanimously considered to be the AFC Champions League this season.

The biggest dark horse in the East Asian region of the league, now that the team has a lot of great monsters, as well as former superstar players like Pato, it is very likely to have a great impact on the inherent pattern of the AFC Champions League this season.

However, Zhang Sheng never dwells on the previous games. His current task is to quickly restore Lin Feng and Ding Huaiyi to their best condition, and at the same time, quickly transform Tao Wentao into a player in the middle of the midfield, and at the same time prepare for the next game.

Chinese League match against Kweichow Moutai.

First, Zhang Sheng was considerate of the players. After two consecutive high-intensity games, Zhang Sheng gave all the players a day off to let everyone rest and adjust.

But at this time Tao Wentao took the initiative to find Zhang Sheng. When he saw Zhang Sheng, he said straight to the point: "Head coach, I am here to admit my mistake."

Hearing Tao Wentao's words, Zhang Sheng smiled and shook his head and said: "What mistake do you want to admit? The goal or the foul in the last game? It's completely unnecessary. I know you want to perform well and win for the team, but

This matter cannot be rushed, and if a player is dejected as long as he loses, have you ever seen a team that never loses or a player that never makes a mistake?"

"But my loss of the ball led to the team's loss of the ball." Tao Wentao lowered his head and said, "My father also criticized me later. He said that I should not sit on the ground and wait for the referee after being fouled, but should immediately

Get up and chase the other person."

Zhang Sheng put down the information about the last game that he was sorting out in his hand and said patiently: "Your father is right, but his demands on you are too high. You are the one who plays football on the field. The authorities and the fans can see clearly."

You should understand this. As you are only 18 years old, you will encounter countless new problems in subsequent games, some of which even I, the head coach, have never encountered. Slowly summarize the game experience.

It’s our position. It’s a good thing to have a sense of responsibility, but blindly blaming yourself is not the mentality that a confident professional player should have.”

After saying this, Zhang Sheng said with great interest: "Don't be discouraged. You also know your mistakes. It will be good to correct them later. I didn't spend so much energy training you to become a professional player just to listen to you."

I'm sorry to say that I'm giving you a more important task now, that is, from now on you should focus on the middle and also take care of the right." (To be continued.)
