In fact, Han Peng's appearance at the center position was not KUKA's original intention. Some media broke the news that letting Han Peng play was the opinion of the top management of Shandong Luneng Club, not KUKA himself. ΩBiqu Ge faced Beijing Guoan in the away game.
Han Peng appeared at the center position because Loew is not good at organizing, but he habitually retreats to get the ball. His offensive style may be more like Li Jinyu, and his use may be like Luneng in previous years.
Han Peng was arranged in front of him to serve as a cover and a fort for him. It was Han Peng's presence that allowed Loew to show off his shooting skills, allowing him to perform a hat trick and beat Beijing Guoan 0:3 away from home.
In this game, Kuka continued the lineup he used against Beijing Guoan in the last game. He wanted to reproduce the offensive momentum of that game. Unfortunately, the Longteng team was not Beijing Guoan. Whether the two central defenders of the Longteng team were Mike
Gervin or Ma Yongli are both far better than Beijing Guoan's central defenders, and Han Peng cannot suppress them.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Montillo sent a cross to Han Peng, but in the physical confrontation with McGowan, Han Peng was completely at a disadvantage. McGowan tipped the ball to Kanter. Kanter handed the ball over.
Lin Feng came over to respond. Before Lin Feng came over to respond, he observed the positions of his teammates in the frontcourt. Now that Shandong Luneng's defensive formation was very stable and his teammates had no good offensive opportunities for the time being, he took another kick.
The ball was passed back to Kanter without stopping, and then he turned around and ran forward. Lin Feng's forward movement took away midfielder Loew, and it was center Han Peng who came to interfere with Kanter.
During this stalemate, the Longteng team played very patiently. Kanter saw that there was no good opportunity to pass the ball forward, so he avoided Han Peng's pressing and passed the ball back to center back Ma Yongli who came to respond.
Ma Yongli, as the player with the strongest ball-playing ability on the Longteng team's back line, did not panic at all when facing Han Peng who turned around to press. He quickly and accurately handed the ball to Yu Bo on the left. Yu Bo faced Montillo's
When grabbing the ball, he directly used his body to lean on him and handed it to midfielder Kanter again. This time it was Loew who defended Kanter. Because Han Peng had not withdrawn from defending Ma Yongli, Kanter once again
The ball was handed to Lin Feng, and there was no one around Lin Feng to defend him.
The Longteng team used their fast passing to completely disintegrate Shandong Luneng's frontcourt press.
Lin Feng, who was unguarded, began to dribble the ball forward quickly. Faced with this situation, one of Luneng's two midfielders had to come over to defend. Originally, according to Luneng's midfield position, the one who came first should be the one in front.
Midfielder Wang Yongpo, after all, KUKA arranged Wang Yongpo as a front and rear midfielder. His position was further forward than the other midfielder Uso, but he was not very used to defending in the midfield and did not come over immediately.
Pressing hard, Uso couldn't stand it anymore and came over from behind Wang Yongpo to defend Lin Feng.
Uso can be called the top defensive midfielder in today's world. He is fast, aggressive, tough, has excellent predictions, and has considerable coverage. His follow-up and support for passing the ball when intercepting the ball are also unmatched by other local players. With Uso
Now, the team's defense has improved to a small level, and it can also cooperate more with the frontcourt in offense.
It should be said that Shandong Luneng's elimination from the AFC Champions League has a lot to do with the fact that Luneng Club did not sign up Uso for the AFC Champions League. Shandong Luneng only conceded 3 goals in the league when it was eliminated from the AFC Champions League, which is the best defense in the league.
The best team, but in the AFC Champions League, they conceded 11 goals in 6 games, instantly becoming the third highest number of goals conceded in the top 32 of the AFC Champions League and the team that conceded the most goals in the East Asia region.
A very important point is that Luneng players have not adapted to KUKA's defensive system, which is full of loopholes in the fast attack of the AFC teams. Luneng's previous defensive tactics were regional defense, but now it has become a regional marking defense, which is very difficult.
Obviously he overestimated the tactical literacy and personal abilities of Chinese players. Zone-marking defense requires defensive players to have excellent mobility and protection, as well as good judgment and coordination awareness, but Chinese players lack this.
It can be seen from the two rounds of Xiang's game and the loss to Sakura that when Luneng players exchange defense after the opponent's fast pass, loopholes often appear due to insufficient tacit understanding, especially in the connection section of each defensive area.
The opponent gets a chance.
Luneng deployed 5 different midfielder combinations in the 6 games in the group stage. If Urso is there, Kuca's adjustment of the team's offense and defense may be much smoother.
After Lin Feng saw Uso coming to defend, he knew that his offensive plan had been successful. Before Uso got close to him, he passed the ball to Xiao Yunfan, who came over from the right to assist. Xiao Yunfan's assist was first defended by Zhang Wenzhao.
.
Zhang Wenzhao is also a player who only joined Shandong Luneng at the beginning of the season. In fact, as early as 2o13, Guangzhou Evergrande offered Changchun Yatai 3,000 to buy him. However, the "anti-Hengda Alliance" between China and Changchun Yatai had already been formed in a tacit understanding, plus the addition of Yatai
Tai's own regard for Zhang Wenzhao caused the transfer to abort. However, compared to Yatai's hostility towards Evergrande, the relationship between Yatai and Luneng is very harmonious. Not long after the Chinese League in the 2o13 season, the two sides basically
The initial contract for the transfer was finalized, and the final transfer fee was set at 2,000 in cash, and then the transfer from Luneng was added as an extra - Wang Gang, a winger from the 1989 Olympic team in his hometown of Changchun, although he is known as
The entire transfer fee reached 39oo, but the actual cost is very cost-effective given that the value of players has skyrocketed every year.
After Zhang Wenzhao came to Luneng, his performance should be said to be very impressive. In the previous match between Shandong Luneng and Shanghai Shenxin, it was he who scored a goal that allowed Shandong Luneng to defeat the opponent 1:0 and gain 3 points.
However, Zhang Wenzhao is good at breaking through and attacking, and he does not have much ability in defense. This time when facing Xiao Yunfan's assist, he only symbolically interfered with Xiao Yunfan, and Xiao Yunfan handed the ball over comfortably.
It was given to Kante, who came over to respond. After Kante took the ball, he passed a beautiful through ball to Mahrez, who had already started.
In the process of passing the ball, Shandong Luneng's defense on the left was pulled to pieces. Not only was the full midfielder left behind the Longteng team's offensive players, but even the team's two midfielders were also involved. This is exactly what happened.
This was the effect the Dragons wanted. Mahrez did not pause much after receiving Kante's through ball. He did not directly rush into the ribs of the left back and left center back because of Zheng Zheng's position.
It was pretty good. Mahrez directly passed the ball to Xiao Yunfan, who had already assisted into the 30-meter area. This pass made the left center back Dai Lin, who was about to come over, completely miscalculate. He quickly moved over to block Xiao Yunfan.
's shot.
However, Xiao Yunfan did not intend to shoot directly. Instead, when he touched the ball, he passed the ball without stopping to Pato in the middle, because at this time, Uso returned to defend and reached Pato's side.
, Pato suddenly stopped running forward without a good chance to shoot, and let the ball leak in front of him. Pato's missed ball was too sudden. Not only did Uso not expect it, but also the other players.
Dewey, a central defender, did not expect that the ball rolled directly in front of Dewey. The person who got the ball in the penalty area was Wenkai, who had just retreated and now inserted into the penalty area.
Wenkai, who was given such an opportunity, did not hesitate. He pushed the ball with his left foot. After touching Wenkai's foot, the ball turned backwards on the grass and headed straight for the goal. Shandong Luneng goalkeeper Wang Dalei
No matter how fast he reacted, he couldn't save such a ground ball. By the time his whole body fell down, the ball had already rolled into the goal. The Longteng team took an o:2 lead in the away game.
The level of the Longteng team's offensive advancement this time was very obvious. When the Longteng team started to move in the backcourt, Duan Xuan was just a player who said that the Longteng team was passing and receiving the ball one by one: "The Longteng team controlled the points outside the penalty area.
Te took the ball and passed it to Lin Feng. Lin Feng passed it back to Kanter. Kanter handed it to Ma Yongli. Ma Yongli distributed the ball to the left. Yu Bo gave it to Kanter. Kanter gave the ball to Lin Feng again.
.The Long Teng team’s non-stop kick was very smooth, bang bang bang bang, and the ball completely got rid of the Luneng team’s defense in just a few clicks.”
Zhou Ning smiled and said: "This kind of fast delivery is a special skill of the Longteng team. It is unique in the whole team. It is beautiful and practical."
During the conversation between the two commentators, the Longteng team's offense began to improve. Duan Xuan also noticed the situation on the court very keenly. He quickly said: "The Longteng team's overall formation has moved forward, and Lin Feng handed it over to Xiao Yunfan.
, Xiao Yunfan hit Kante again, Kante's through ball, Mahrez, he passed the ball, Xiao Yunfan made a through ball without stopping, wow wow wow, Pato missed the ball, Luneng's defensive players were completely absent
Thinking of it, Wen Kai's shot went in. This goal is really a classic of teamwork, from the midfielder to the center back, to the left, then to the center, then to the right, and finally from the right again
The through ball hit the penalty area, so many passes were all passed without stopping, the passing rhythm gradually accelerated, and the final goal was achieved in one go, it was so beautiful."
Zhou Ning also praised the Longteng team's goal: "Such a goal is really nothing to say. It hit from the backcourt to the opponent's penalty area. It didn't rely on any wonderful dribbles or singles by stars.
To fight alone is to use passing and receiving to pull the opponent's empty one, and finally a beautiful pass and a shot are completed, and the goal is completed. This is a tactical victory, which not only requires high skills on the players' feet, but also
Players need to have good intelligence to move, and it should be said that the Longteng team has begun to reproduce their previous playing style in the Chinese League One."
When Zhang Sheng saw this goal, he felt proud. After a period of training, the players finally began to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the game.
Before the season, Zhang Sheng was not worried about anything else. He was worried that the players in the team who had only experienced the rhythm and intensity of the Chinese League One would not be able to adapt to the Chinese League's rhythm. And Zhang Sheng's worry was indeed correct. In the early days of the league,
The Longteng team did not adapt well to the environment in China. They were once ranked at the bottom of the standings and did not win a single victory this season until the fourth round of the league.
After winning that victory, the Longteng team seemed to have awakened. Although there were some setbacks with Lin Feng and Ding Huaiyi, the team as a whole gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game, and the results of the game were also improving steadily. Finally, they were here.
In every game, the players' abilities were fully demonstrated and they completely defeated the established teams.
After the Longteng team scored this goal, the Luneng team players were obviously a little confused. If the first goal conceded could be said to be a low-level mistake, then this goal was completely penetrated by the opponent's pass. Such a loss
Qiu Qiu has no other reason other than admitting that he is not as good as his opponent.
Even Luneng head coach Kuka on the sidelines opened his eyes wide with disbelief on his face. It is difficult for Luneng to score such a goal from the Longteng team even in normal training. He did not expect that his opponent would actually score against him.
He played under the defense of many players, which only shows that the opponent is not generally strong.
After the Luneng team kicked off again, the players became even more desperate, but unfortunately they were hit again soon. In the 38th minute, Montillo, who was thinking about trying to get the score back, saw Yu Bo dribbling the ball, and he directly
He bumped into Yu Bo and tried to push Yu Bo away. Unfortunately, he underestimated Yu Bo's physical fitness and hit Yu Bo's turning arm. This arm hit his ribs. Montillo fell to the ground on the spot. After passing by the team doctor,
According to the inspection, Montillo should have a rib fracture, so Kuka could only replace Montillo with Liu Binbin.
After Montillo came off the field, Luneng's offense also slowed down, and the Longteng team also slowed down its rhythm slightly. At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at o:2.
During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng and the players seemed very relaxed, but the Shandong Luneng locker room was very depressed. They were two goals behind and the main foreign player was injured. All these indicate that the second half of the game will be even more exciting.
difficult.
Kuka looked around his players and said: "I know this game is difficult, but this is our home court and there is still a half-time chance. We can't give up. We still have time. In the second half, you change Aloisio."
With Han Peng, you are responsible for getting the first point in the penalty area and then passing the ball to the second point. Loew, ensuring the second point scrambles and then shooting is our best chance."
Aloisio immediately became energetic when he heard KUKA's arrangement. After coming to Shandong Luneng in the season, he, nicknamed "Bison", was not very happy because he was a player brought over from Brazil when KUKA took office.
, and he is still a center player with a very important position. His performance is not good. (To be continued.)
