In this game, the Football Association sent the famous "black-faced judge" Ma Ning. In addition to Ma Ning's harsh whistle blowing and card-drawing, the Football Association may also hope that Ma Ning can strictly enforce the law and reduce the number of small tricks on the scene. After all, the football association
They are all players of the national team. If the whistle is too soft and the situation cannot be controlled, it will be a big loss for any one of them.
After the game officially started, the players on both sides were very cautious. Guangzhou Evergrande, who kicked off first, was not in a hurry to attack because Diamanti and Zheng Zhi were not on the court. Guangzhou Evergrande lacked the ability to connect the organization before and after.
The core players of the offense, even if Diamanti is not a top midfield organizer, Zheng Zhi is not a Pirlo-style attacking midfielder, but there is still a big difference between the two of them on the field.
Big.
At least Diamanti's ball protection and crosses on the right are still very top-notch, and he also has a free kick. The key is that he is also very good at creating free kicks by protecting the ball! And Zheng Zhi can get rid of the defender in the midfielder position.
Send a nice direct pass or long pass.
Among the Guangzhou Evergrande frontcourt players in this game, Elkeson is a player with strong impact, but not very good at organizing; Yu Han is famous for his speed and decisive inside cutting, and has no chance of organizing offense; Gao
Lin can pass the ball, but he is more effective in the last pass, and he is not good at scheduling in the frontcourt; Huang Bowen relies on running and stealing in the midfield, and at most he can shoot a long shot;
As for the other defensive midfielder Rene, it is too often that he dribbles the ball and rushes forward, so don't count on him for passing the ball.
Now that both Diamanti and Zheng Zhi are not on the court, the only one who can play an organizational role on the court is Gao Jun. This is why Guangzhou Evergrande was willing to spend a lot of money to poach him from the Longteng team at the beginning of the season.
The reason is that Lippi introduced him as Zheng Zhi's replacement.
Gao Jun still got a lot of opportunities after entering Guangzhou Evergrande this season. Due to his age, Zheng Zhi's injuries inevitably became more frequent, and his athletic ability became less and less. However, after Conca left the team, he
The linking role he played has become even more indispensable. When talking about him, many Evergrande fans regretfully wish that he was still the 30-year-old Zheng who could play up and down. Unfortunately, time is not forgiving.
At the beginning, Gao Jun did get a few opportunities in Evergrande, but then Lippi discovered that Zheng Zhi was stronger than Gao Jun both in terms of consciousness and physical resistance. Gao Jun slowly changed.
He became a substitute, but Lippi did not give up on him and made him a key target for training, allowing him to strengthen his muscle training. As the game progressed, Zheng Zhi's injuries increased, and Gao Jun's playing opportunities gradually increased.
As the number of players increased, he gradually became more proficient in cooperating with the Evergrande players, and his condition got better and better. This is also the reason why he was selected for the national team during the break.
Now on the field, Guangzhou Evergrande relies on Gao Jun to organize the team's offense in an orderly manner in the midfield. Every time Evergrande hits the frontcourt and there is no good shooting opportunity, several players in the frontcourt will pass the ball back again.
Give it to Gao Jun, who came up to respond, and let him take it down again to control it and organize a second attack.
Seeing the situation on the court, Zhang Sheng became a little worried. If Evergrande was allowed to organize attacks back and forth like this, the offensive players in front of them all have good breakthrough capabilities, and the Longteng team would be too passive.
As Zhang Sheng expected, in the 7th minute of the first half, Gao Jun found a loophole in the Longteng team's defense. He received Huang Bowen's return pass in the midfield and made a long pass without stopping the ball.
Kesen inserted into the penalty area like a ghost, and then pushed the ball decisively from a small angle. Fortunately, Ma Yongli blocked the ball very well and even flew out of the baseline. Guangzhou Evergrande won a corner kick.
Seeing Elkeson's shot, Duan Xuan shouted: "Ah! Evergrande's shot, oh! It was blocked by Ma Yongli. It was so dangerous. The Longteng team allowed Evergrande to take it comfortably in the midfield."
Passing the ball is really too dangerous."
Then Evergrande's offense did not end. In the next corner kick, Huang Bowen passed the ball from the left to the center. Elkson headed the ball to the goal. Yu Han followed up and shot, but due to McGowan's physical interference
It was not kicked, the ball crossed a line in the penalty area, no one touched it, and eventually flew out of the bottom line, and Guangzhou Evergrande missed the opportunity to score a goal.
Duan Xuan was even more excited when he saw Evergrande's attack: "Yu Han hit the goal, oh, he didn't catch the ball, oh! Such a good opportunity was wasted."
This time Tao Wei also regretted: "Elkerson's ability to grab points is really strong. It's a pity that Yu Han's feet are only a few centimeters away from the ball. As long as he touches the ball, it will be difficult to save the ball."
."
Seeing the passive situation on the court, Zhang Sheng quickly took advantage of Zhou Wei's goal kick to arrange the court. If Gao Jun was active near the center arc of Evergrande, he would ask Ivo to strengthen interference and interception;
Entering the Longteng team's half, Tao Wentao was asked to strengthen his marking. This would maximize the difficulty for Guangzhou Evergrande in controlling the ball in the midfield and prevent them from organizing the offense so easily.
As a very comprehensive player, Ivo was even used by Zhang Sheng as a "defensive midfielder" in the past. Now he is only allowed to interfere with the opponent besides organizing the offense, which is completely within his capabilities.
After Ivo stepped up his interference with Gao Jun, it was difficult for Evergrande to organize a good offense with Gao Jun, because Ivo was physically much stronger than Gao Jun, and Gao Jun suffered a lot in the confrontation.
, he also gradually changed from a midfield organizer to a transit point between the back line and the midfield, so as not to disconnect the front and backcourts, but if he still wanted to send any good passes to the frontcourt, he would have no chance.
Lippi soon discovered this problem. He began to ask Gao Jun to run more. Don't just stay in the middle of the midfield, don't stand still, let him constantly change his position, and even move to both sides if necessary.
Roads are used to form local offensive advantages.
But Lippi also knows the danger of doing so. That is, once Gao Jun is not in the midfielder position and the ball is intercepted, Guangzhou Evergrande, with only one midfielder Lei Nei, will be very dangerous in defense. It is easy to
The Long Teng team counterattacked quickly.
And this is exactly what happened. In the 16th minute of the first half, Gao Jun went to the left to help Yu Han attack, but Ding Huaiyi, Roque Gill and Ivo jointly intercepted the ball. Ding Huaiyi made a decisive move behind the ball.
The ball was distributed to Tao Wentao, who was inserted in the middle. Tao Wentao showed his good technical ability with his feet. Facing Huang Bowen's upward attack, he easily pulled the ball back at his feet, causing Huang Bowen's upward attack to completely fail.
Tao Wentao passed the ball to Ben Alpha who rushed in from the left.
It should be said that Tao Wentao is very good at stopping the ball, protecting the ball, passing people and passing the ball. First, he intervened in time and did not waste his teammates' passing opportunities. He can immediately change his team from defense to defense.
In an offensive state, he then caught the ball very steadily, and the ball was firmly held at his feet, allowing him to easily protect the ball and prepare himself for the subsequent pass by Huang Bowen. Finally, his
The field of vision is very wide. Instead of slowly observing the position of teammates on the field after passing the passer, the pass is sent out the moment he passes the passer, which greatly enhances the speed of the attack.
Although Tao Wentao's set of actions was very short, it showed his golf intelligence, running awareness, footwork ability, forward determination and broad vision.
Even the commentator Duan Xuan was surprised and said: "Wow! Tao Wentao's set of actions is so coherent. He doesn't play like an 18-year-old player at all. This is completely the style and temperament of a veteran who has played football for many years.
There are really many talented people in the Longteng team."
In the midst of Duan Xuan's praise, the Longteng team's offense had penetrated into Evergrande's 30-meter defensive area very sharply. Ben Alpha made a very beautiful change of pace on the left and passed Gao Lin, and then he
He started to rush forward, but when faced with the fierce attack from **Peng, he suddenly stopped and turned again, using the change of center of gravity to pass **Peng.
At this time, the Longteng team had Ivo and Tao Wentao in the middle, Ding Huaiyi was running wildly on the left, and center Wenkai was wandering between the two center backs of Evergrande, ready to rush into the penalty area to grab points.
For a time, the Dragon Team formed a three-pronged attitude.
In the end, Ben Alpha made an inverted triangle pass close to the baseline. Wenkai opened Liu Jian's defensive position in the penalty area and allowed Ivo to rush into the penalty area. Ivo made a decisive move after receiving the ball.
kick shot.
Evergrande goalkeeper Zeng Cheng made a crucial save. He worked hard to fly sideways and used his fist to lift the shot over the crossbar.
Seeing that his shot was saved, Ivo knelt down on the ground in disbelief and slapped the ground with his fists regretfully. It was a pity that the goal did not go in.
The Longteng team's attack was very fast. It started from intercepting Gao Jun's ball, to Tao Wentao's quick separation in the midfield, to Ben Alpha's wonderful one-stop pass on the left, and to Ivo's follow-up in the penalty area.
The kick-off shot lasted less than 1 minute, and Guangzhou Evergrande's defense line from midfield to the back was completely penetrated. Although Ivo's shot did not go in in the end, this attack made the entire Evergrande team out.
A cry of cold sweat broke out.
While Zhang Sheng was punching in frustration on the sidelines, Duan Xuan came up with his own earth-shattering cry: "Ah~~~~ah~~~~ah~~~~~~Ivo~~~~ah
~~~~Hit the door!!!! Ah!! I was thrown out.”
Tao Wei praised Tao Wentao and Ben Alpha even more: "Although the Longteng team's attack did not score a goal, it fully demonstrated the characteristics of their team. Tao Wentao's key pass from midfield,
Then there is the fast running position of the frontcourt players. Ben Alpha is the accelerator of the offense. He penetrates into Evergrande's defense like a sharp sword. After center Wenkai suppressed Evergrande's center back, whether it is the attacking midfielder
Both Ivo and Tao Wentao, who came in from the back row, had a chance to shoot. Although Ivo's ball was saved in the end, it was entirely due to luck. If the Longteng team plays such an attack again, will Evergrande have another chance?
It’s hard to say if you’re lucky enough to save the ball.”
This attack of the Longteng team also sounded a wake-up call for Evergrande, that is, the defense against Tao Wentao was too easy. The Longteng team suffered the loss of Gao Jun's lax monitoring, while Evergrande suffered the loss of Tao Wentao.
It's a shame that Thao can't be guarded closely, so they must pay more attention to him.
Duan Xuan also calmed down at this time. After the Longteng team took a corner kick and Tao Wentao's shot outside the penalty area missed the goal, he said: "Gao Jun and Tao Weitao, as two players in the same position, both have the Longteng team
Players with different backgrounds can all perform wonderfully, which shows that the Longteng team’s training of players is really in place.”
"Don't forget that Lin Feng, who cannot play in this game due to accumulation of yellow cards, is also a midfielder and an organizational midfielder. He is the main force of the Longteng team." Tao Wei added on the side.
"Indeed, these outstanding players are really the treasures of Chinese football in the past two years. Give them more opportunities and they will become stronger." Duan Xuan said with emotion.
Soon the experienced Lippi also made arrangements on the court. He asked Huang Bowen to strengthen the interference with Tao Wentao and prevent him from getting the ball out so easily. This method was exactly the same as Zhang Sheng's method against Gao Jun before.
.
However, the gap between the two sides using the same methods on the court later emerged.
First, there is the level gap between Ivo and Huang Bowen. From reality, we can see that although Ivo’s worth is low, he is the kind of player who can single-handedly lead a team to avoid relegation or even stay in the middle of the standings.
Position player, that is to say, he is the "real leg" of small, medium and small teams; and to be honest, Huang Bowen's strength does not exceed the scope of China's active non-system calling players. He can pass in the strong teams of the Chinese and even K-League.
He tried hard to get a main position, but he still couldn't do it if he wanted the team to build tactics around him to lead the team to victory.
Secondly, there is also a gap in strength between Gao Jun and Tao Wentao. On the surface, Gao Jun, who is also a summoned player, has 1 point higher ability value than Tao Wentao, but Tao Wentao is more flexible in the Longteng team's system.
Moreover, he is better than Gao Jun in key indicators such as body, foot skills, passing and receiving. As an early call player, Gao Jun has obvious advantages - good jumping, but also obvious disadvantages - poor physical fitness.
Therefore, Ivo can better guard against Gao Jun, while it is really difficult for Huang Bowen to guard against Tao Wentao. However, thanks to Huang Bowen's abundant physical energy, active running, and full tenacity, the two sides are temporarily fighting on the court.
