o:2 After taking the lead, the Longteng team used the control of the midfield to firmly control the game in their own hands. The score remained at this score until the end of the first half. The score and the game process in the first half
It all surprised the outside world. Originally, everyone thought that Jiangsu Sainty could win when the Longteng team was in poor condition. Unexpectedly, Jiangsu Sainty was completely defeated, even if the newly joined Antar stood at the center back.
The online performance still failed to change the team's dilemma of being full of holes in the defense.
After the start of the second half, Zhang Sheng maintained the lineup of the first half and continued to strengthen the offensive. Although he did not score any more goals, he suppressed Jiangsu Sainty's offense very well. It was not until 20 minutes into the second half that several players from the Longteng team appeared.
Due to physical problems, the team's control of the field began to weaken. However, Zhang Sheng decisively replaced Zhang Hao, Tao Wentao and Yu Bo, and replaced Lin Feng, Ding Huaiyi and Ben Alpha. These three
The introduction of new players greatly strengthened the defense of the Longteng team in the midfield. Even if Jiangsu Sainty replaced the newly introduced foreign aid forward Toloza during the break, it would not help.
In the end, the Longteng team won the away game with a clean sheet of 0:2. In the next round, the Longteng team’s opponent will be Qingdao Zhongneng, a veteran team that has been relegated to the Chinese League One.
However, Zhang Sheng is not very concerned about this FA Cup match. After all, Qingdao Zhongneng, a famous little expert in Chinese football, is really not worth mentioning, and the Longteng team will face in the Chinese League four days later.
The opponent is Guangzhou Evergrande!
Guangzhou Evergrande this season has not been very successful so far.
When we look back at Guangzhou Evergrande last season, it truly belongs to Guangzhou Evergrande, a suddenly emerging Asian giant team. It achieved three consecutive league championships, won the AFC Champions League and entered the Club World Cup for the first time to show itself on the highest stage.
At the same time, he created and refreshed a series of records of his own. When entering 2o14, everyone will feel that only Conca has left, but Lippi, the most important person in the team, and the main lineup that won the championship are basically retained.
, this year should still belong to Guangzhou Evergrande’s own stage and era, and it should not face great challenges. However, no one thought or expected that Guangzhou Evergrande would win the first half of the season in 2014.
A way of ups and downs to fight the journey of 2014.
There are many reasons for this state.
First, the players were too tired and lacked physical fitness. In 2013, Guangzhou Evergrande played from the end of February to the end of December, which can be said to be a ten-month long season. However, under Lippi's training, Guangzhou Evergrande's soldiers
They can still cope with it. The double championship of the league and the AFC Champions League, as well as the semi-final results of the Club World Cup are good proof that there will be no problems of fatigue and physical fitness. And after such a long season, this is as high as 50 games.
The intensity of the game also makes players who have never played so many games and time feel very tired, especially domestic players, who cannot adapt. After the end of the 2013 season, the Guangzhou Evergrande soldiers only had one month of rest.
After that, preparations for the new season will start immediately. However, it is impossible for the players to recover physically in such a short period of time, so the players generally fall into a state of fatigue and physical exhaustion at the beginning of the season.
In just one game, Guangzhou Evergrande was tied with the newly promoted Dragons at their home court. And for most of the following season, coupled with the highly intensive schedule, many players couldn't bear it. The common "second half can't be offended" in 2013
This phenomenon is rarely seen this season, which is a good proof. The reason for this phenomenon is that the players have physical problems and cannot sustain until the end of the game.
The second is the change in Lippi's tactical play and tactical system. In 2o13, Lippi made tactical arrangements and plays around Conca as the core, letting Conca serve as the team's offensive organization commander, and
Conca also showed his best passing skills, and played smooth cooperation in Guangzhou Evergrande's frontcourt. With Conca's departure at the end of the season, Guangzhou Evergrande introduced Italian international Diaman without stopping.
Diamanti came to fill the position left by Conca. In the first few games of the season, Diamanti's strong personal ability seemed to have a tendency to make people forget about Conca. However, as the game progressed, Diamanti was unable to adapt to the ball.
The team's tactical play and tactical system only serve as the core of the midfield at will. Even if Lippi wants to re-build Diamanti into a tactical core system like Conca, judging from the first half of the season, Lippi's
The tactical creation still has not achieved very good results. The reasons for this are not only the personal reasons of the two players Conca and Diamanti, but also the overall integration of the team.
Then there are the different levels of cooperation between the frontcourt foreign aid trident. In 2013, Guangzhou Evergrande was able to be so strong, which has nothing to do with the frontcourt foreign aid trident Muric, Konka and Elkeson. That kind of
The ability to play three-person football in a small area has frightened all teams in Asia. With the departure of Conca and the joining of Diamanti, the frontcourt foreign aid trident has been replaced by Murry.
Qi, Elkeson and Diamanti. From the perspective of personal ability, Diamanti is no less than Conca, with extremely explosive impact and long-range shooting ability. In the first few games at the beginning of the season
It can be seen; but it is difficult for Diamanti to pass the ball with the same accuracy as Conca, because Diamanti and Conca are different types of players.
Diamanti is a player who completes shots, and Conca is a player who passes the ball. Therefore, entering the 2o14 season, Guangzhou Evergrande’s new European and American frontcourt foreign aid trident can rarely play in a small area in the opponent’s penalty area.
Coordinate the pass and then complete the fatal blow. The reason for this is still related to Diamanti's playing style and the tacit understanding with Muric and Elkerson.
Then there are the holes in the defense. In 2013, the reason why Guangzhou Evergrande won consecutive championships was not only the strong offensive firepower that opponents feared, but also the solid performance of the defense. Especially in the double lines of the league and the AFC Champions League.
In 44 games, Guangzhou Evergrande has not conceded more than 30 goals, which means that it has not conceded more than one goal per game. This has well protected the team's victory. However, in the 2o14 season, Guangzhou Evergrande
Retaining the championship-winning defense team of Zeng Cheng, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Jin Yingquan and Sun Xiang, Guangzhou Evergrande's defense encountered an unprecedented crisis in the first half of the season. The defense was in danger repeatedly and lost in 22 games.
22 goals, and the average number of goals conceded per game is 1 goal. The reason for this is that the defense players are not focused on defense, their defensive status is unstable, and the new players have not yet adapted to the team's defensive system.
Finally, the players' desire and excitement for victory and championships are obviously insufficient. There is a rule in the football world that throughout the year, teams and players will always maintain their desire and excitement for victory and championships.
Excitement, and this desire and excitement will support their motivation to keep moving forward. But after winning the victory and the championship, in the second year, the team and players gradually reduced their desire for victory and championship.
The degree of enthusiasm and excitement led to the failure to successfully defend the title. In order to win the AFC Champions League within five years and achieve a breakthrough in Chinese football, Guangzhou Evergrande hired Lippi as the team's head coach with a large sum of money. In 2o13, Lippi and Guangzhou
All the Evergrande soldiers were full of infinite desire and excitement for the AFC Champions League. They had to achieve the great feat of winning the AFC Champions League no matter what, and finally succeeded. However, the Guangzhou Evergrande players who had already won the honor and championship
After coming to 2o14, they seem to have less intensity and desire to win the game, especially the attitude towards the game. They rarely play games with high fighting spirit. The reason for this is also consistent with the rules of the football world.
Relatedly, players cannot always maintain their desire and excitement for winning and championships.
Even though Guangzhou Evergrande had shortcomings in the first half of the season, they are still the strongest club in China, and the long break in the middle of the season gave Guangzhou Evergrande enough opportunities to adjust.
First, this long intermission gave Guangzhou Evergrande what it needed most - time to adjust and recover. During this intermission, although Evergrande's large group of international players also participated in training camps and played three friendly matches, the remaining
The next month or so gave them a rare chance to breathe. Most of the players accompanied their families to have a good rest, and the club's physical fitness team also developed very good physical reserve training for them.
plan so that they can enter the second half of the season in very good condition.
Secondly, Lippi introduced his favorite player, Gilardino, to make his tactical transformation more formal. Before the season, Lippi wanted to evolve the team's single-core hole card play into a multi-core offense.
In terms of playing style, the arrival of Gilardino gave Lippi more confidence.
In fact, it can be seen from the first half of the season that Guangzhou Evergrande's goals in this half of the season are evenly distributed. In 2o13, among all the goals scored by Guangzhou Evergrande, the frontcourt foreign aid trident Konka and Muric
and Elkeson accounted for more than 70%, and domestic players scored very few goals. It can be said that they belong to a team that relies entirely on foreign aid to conquer the world. After entering 2014, Guangzhou Evergrande successively introduced Dong Xuesheng, Mei Fanghe
After Liu Jian and other domestic players, Guangzhou Evergrande's domestic players and foreign players scored almost as many goals in the league and the AFC Champions League. This has not happened in the past few seasons.
Take the league as an example. After 14 rounds of the league, Guangzhou Evergrande scored a total of 35 goals, foreign players scored 20 goals, and domestic players scored 15 goals. In the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Evergrande scored a total of 15 goals.
foreign players scored 10 goals, and domestic players scored 5 goals. Overall, the gap in the number of goals scored by foreign players and domestic players is gradually shortening. In particular, Guangzhou Evergrande’s goal distribution is very scattered.
In online battles, a total of ten players have scored goals. This is a big change from last season's reliance on the foreign aid trident. The reason for this is that Guangzhou Evergrande's scoring methods are diversified, and the players are all
Have the ability to score and have strong team control ability.
In terms of cooperation with the foreign aid trident in the frontcourt, Gilardino theoretically has an advantage over Muric, who left during the break.
Muric has been affected by physical injuries and ups and downs in the first half of the season. The number of goals has dropped very quickly. His cooperation with Diamanti is also very uncoordinated. Muric is used to playing alone.
Diamanti, who is a European player who emphasizes cooperation, always cannot stand on the same beat; on the contrary, the arrival of Gilardino, who is also a European player and a fellow Italian, should be able to have a better relationship with Diamanti.
Good chemistry.
In the end, Guangzhou Evergrande also used its own unique trick - Evergrande owner Xu Jiayin hosted a banquet for all the club's soldiers.
Evergrande Group boss Xu Jiayin’s family banquet has always been a trump card for Guangzhou Evergrande Club, and boss Xu Jiayin’s “psychological massage” has always had a good effect. Xu Jiayin has a tradition of “treating guests to dinner” at critical moments for Evergrande
, the previous "family banquets" have achieved good results, which is why Xu Jiayin is called a "psychological masseur". In the eyes of the Evergrande soldiers, every time Xu Jiayin does pre-game mobilization, the team can often
Get the desired results.
After losing to Yatai in the league away game in 2o11, Xu Jiayin hosted a banquet for the team before Evergrande played against TEDA. As a result, the team finally defeated TEDA 4-0 in the next league and won. In April 2o12, Evergrande played against Baidu.
In front of the Sun God, Xu Jiayin hosted a banquet for the entire team. At the banquet, he reiterated that "fighting for the AFC Champions League is to win glory for the country." As a result, Evergrande won 3-1. Before the start of the 2013 AFC Champions League group stage, Xu Jiayin hosted a banquet for all Evergrande team members and requested
The players must have the confidence to win and the spirit of hard work to win the AFC Champions League. As a result, Evergrande immediately defeated Urawa 3-0.
Zhang Sheng also knew that in history, after Evergrande lost to Chengnan in the AFC Champions League in the 2o15 season, Xu Jiayin started the "family banquet mode" again. He hosted a banquet for the Evergrande coaching staff and players at the Jinshazhou Yujing Peninsula Hotel, and proposed
As a result of the "four musts" requirements, Evergrande immediately defeated Chengnan 2-0 in the second round to advance.
This time, before the upcoming Longteng team's game, Xu Jiayin once again hosted a banquet for the team. Xu Jiayin said at the meeting, "If you don't risk your life when playing football, go sell mineral water." Xu Jiayin talked about "Psychological Massage"
"Nine Musts" has a comprehensive and thorough grasp of the team's existing problems and status, and is to the point.
This shows how much Xu Jiayin attaches importance to this game, which also means that the Longteng team will face a fierce battle.
