It can be said that Lippi has been criticized by the outside world this season. The main problem is that the performance of the players he proposed to introduce is really not good.
Diamanti was the player Lippi requested to bring in. In fact, Liu Yongzhuo, the chairman of Guangzhou Evergrande, hoped to transfer to Diamanti during the summer transfer, but Lippi seemed a little impatient.
He strongly requested that Diamanti join during the winter transfer period. Under his strong request, Liu Yongzhuo, who had great trust in Lippi's professional quality and ability, agreed to his request.
It's a pity that Diamanti's performance cannot match the high expectations given by Lippi. In addition, everyone likes to compare Diamanti with the departed "King of Celestial Bodies" Conca, although the two playing styles are different.
, it is a bit unfair to compare players with slightly different positions in this way, but Diamanti did not fill Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield position after Conca left, which caused a significant decline in Evergrande's control ability, which is obvious to all.
fact.
As for another signing - Gilardino, he can be said to be at his peak in his debut. This is another player that Lippi strongly recommends to introduce. The first game he played was indeed amazing, but what happened later
It is an undoubted fact that it is a high start and a low end. Zhang Sheng knows that in history, Gilardino left Guangzhou Evergrande with the reputation of being a parallel importer, and Lippi's resignation was not unrelated to the sluggish performance of the two of them.
Of course, Lippi's own ability to recognize people is unquestionable, as evidenced by Elkeson's goal just now.
After both Lippi and Elkeson left Guangzhou Evergrande, two players and coaches who were not involved in Evergrande revealed a lot of inside stories about why Elkeson joined Evergrande in the first place.
Elkson revealed that Lippi was a very important reason why he chose to join Evergrande: "Mr. Lippi is a World Cup winning coach. Every player wants to work with a great coach. I feel very motivated to play here.
"
When talking about his relationship with Lippi, Elkerson said frankly: "We have a very good cooperative relationship, just like a father and a son. I have learned a lot, which has helped me a lot and allowed me to follow the ball.
Win a Grand Slam together as a team.”
Also lamenting this goal were Liu Jianhong and Xu Yang, who were responsible for the commentary. Liu Jianhong admitted that Guangzhou Evergrande’s goal was completely a reflection of the player’s experience: “Diamanti’s free kick level is not only in
How to put the ball into the goal and how to create good enough opportunities for his teammates in free kicks are obviously his special skills. The goalkeeper of the Longteng team suffered from this."
Xu Yang also praised Liu Jianhong's view: "The biggest loophole of the Longteng team in this game is the goalkeeper. It is not obvious that they are evenly matched now. Once Evergrande has more shots, the Longteng team's goal will be in danger."
In fact, Liu Jianhong and Xu Yangneng saw that Zhang Sheng was also the head coach of the team. Zhang Sheng's tactic of controlling the ball in the midfield before the game was for this reason. However, they did not expect that Diamanti would still
He used his experience to get a free kick in the frontcourt and scored.
After losing the ball, Zhang Sheng gave a signal to the players on the field, that is, try to push the opponent to the sideline and not let them get too many opportunities in the middle. At the same time, he strengthened the attack on the two wings and tried not to let the opponent
Cross the ball after hitting the base, because a cross from the base is far more threatening than a 45-degree slant.
After receiving Zhang Sheng's instructions to strengthen the attack, Ben Alpha began to exert his strength.
In the 26th minute of the first half, Ben Arfa made a gesture to speed up the breakthrough on the wing. The defender defending him was obviously confused by Ben Arfa's previous playing style.
In this game, Zhang Sheng asked Ben Alpha to reduce his breakthroughs. In addition to wanting him to change his style of play, there was also a practical reason, which was that he was afraid of being counterattacked by his opponent after stealing the ball. Therefore, Ben Alpha had always been aggressive in previous games.
They all seemed very honest. He mostly used passes to strengthen contact with Ivo and Lin Feng. There were very few breakthroughs. The fake moves he made for many breakthroughs were eventually converted into passes.
**Peng thought that Ben Alpha would pass the ball again this time, but unfortunately he thought wrong. After getting the ball, Ben Alpha suddenly started and then cut inside decisively.
This inside cut made Evergrande's defense tense. Before the game, Lippi gave instructions to the players: "Ben Alpha is not in very good condition right now, but everyone must remember that even if
He is in poor condition now. Once he starts a breakthrough, he is still very powerful. You must be alert to his breakthrough at any time. If he wants to break through with the ball, at least two people must double-team him."
Facing Ben Alpha's inward cut, ** Peng and one of the defensive midfielders, Zhao Xuyang, quickly came over to help defend. However, the two of them really underestimated Ben Alpha's extraordinary ability. Ben Alpha was dribbling the ball.
During the process, he suddenly made a deceleration movement, which made both **Peng and Zhao Xuyang think that he wanted to adjust his pace, because after others slowed down, the ball was a little far away from them.
**Peng saw the opportunity behind Ben Alpha and immediately wanted to reach for the ball with his feet, while Zhao Xuyang wanted to lean over to prevent Ben Alpha from reaching the ball. Unfortunately, they did not expect that Ben Alpha would be able to reach the ball.
It was a fake move. When he was decelerating, he actually used the bottom of his toes to pull back the ball. His deceleration was to get the ball back within his control, and then accelerate again.
Sure enough, just when **Peng stretched his feet and Zhao Xuyang came closer, Ben Alpha accelerated again, and the ball rebounded as if there was a rubber band between his feet. Ben Alpha accelerated while doing so.
He changed direction, and this time he simultaneously got rid of the stretched out leg behind him and Zhao Xuyang who was squeezing around him, because the center of gravity of these two people had been completely handed over.
Ben Alpha's breakthrough made the commentator Liu Jianhong feel like he saw a ghost: "Oh! My God, this breakthrough is like a football growing on Ben Alpha's feet. He has already broken through the defense of two people, and he will do it again."
Continue to cut inside? It’s almost time to enter the penalty area!”
Ben Alpha's breakthrough also surprised the other defensive players of Guangzhou Evergrande. Zhao Xuyang's loss of position completely eliminated the defensive barrier in the Evergrande midfield. Ben Alpha can now carry or pass, it depends on how he chooses.
The first one to come over to fill in the position was Huang Bowen, another defensive midfielder who started this game. When Zhao Xuyang went to defend, he had already begun to recover from the frontcourt. After seeing Ben Alpha's successful breakthrough, he hurriedly accelerated again.
Wanting to interfere with Ben Alpha's movements from behind.
The other one who comes to cover the defense is Feng Xiaoting. In Guangzhou Evergrande's double central defender, Feng Xiaoting is more forward when the defensive midfielder is out of position or the opponent's forward is pulled out. When Feng Xiaoting is forward, Jin Yingquan is responsible for the back protection.
, that is to say, Feng goes up first, and Jin Dian comes last!
In the eyes of Huang Bowen and Feng Xiaoting, since Ben Alfa chose to break through, according to his character, it must be a one-stop process to the end, because there were too many such stories about Ben Alfa in previous games. When he started dribbling the ball
, the other teammates might as well just go back and defend.
Only the Longteng players who had been playing with Ben Alpha during this period did not give up the opportunity to catch the ball, because they knew how much Ben Alpha wanted to change himself during this period. For example, when Feng Xiaoting was in front of him this time, Wen Kai
He decisively started to insert into the penalty area, because now Evergrande only has Kim Young-kwon as a center back in the penalty area. This is a rare opportunity for a center forward.
Ben Alpha also lived up to Wenkai's hopes. Under the attack of Huang Bowen and Feng Xiaoting, he chose the safest passing method and passed the ball to Ivo, who came to respond. Because one of the two midfielders was out of position and the other was in
Defending Ben Alpha, there was no one around Ivo. He easily passed the ball to Wenkai who inserted into the penalty area with a through ball.
When Ben Alpha passed the ball, Jin Yingquan knew that something was wrong. There were many passing routes that the opponent could choose. They could directly pick the ball to Wen Kai, or pass the ball to Ivo who came over to respond.
It can be passed farther because Ding Huaiyi on the right also assists; in the end, he can even knock the ball back to the full-back Zhou Zhou on the left who is assisting.
In this flash of lightning, Jin Yingquan chose the safest way, which was to withstand Wen Kai who inserted into the penalty area. When he saw Ben Alpha choose to pass to Ivo, he knew that he had made the right bet.
Just when Jin Yingquan was glad that he had made the right bet, Ivo's pass was too fast because no one was guarding him, and Ben Alpha's pass was really comfortable, with the strength and height being very appropriate. Ivo simply couldn't pass the ball this time.
There is no need to stop the ball to adjust, but a direct pass without stopping the ball, directly to Wen Kai.
Jin Yingquan obviously didn't expect Ivo's pass to be so fast. When Wenkai had already started, he was not ready to start. Wenkai, who followed Ivo to get the ball, turned sideways and faced the goal directly.
Kim Young Kwon just started to turn around.
Wenkai, who had successfully turned around, met the ball with a furious shot. The shot was so powerful that the only thing Guangzhou Evergrande goalkeeper Zeng Cheng could do was to symbolically stretch out his hand to block it. However, the ball hit Zeng.
Cheng had already crossed his body before reaching out and flew towards the goal behind him.
Just when Zeng Cheng was about to give up, he heard a "bang" sound behind him. It was obvious that the ball hit the lintel. He reacted very quickly and without thinking, he fell to the ground and pushed the ball towards the baseline, and shot.
After finishing the shot, Wenkai, who saw that the ball had not been scored, also went to make up the shot. In his eagerness to make up the shot, Wenkai kicked Zeng Cheng's body. Fortunately, Wenkai finally stopped his kick rationally. Even so, Zeng Cheng still
The performance was very painful, and in the end the ball flew out of the baseline.
The referee in charge of this match quickly came over to observe the situation, because according to the rules of football matches, the game must be suspended if the goalkeeper is injured.
The Guangzhou Evergrande team doctor also quickly entered the field at the referee's signal. After careful inspection, he found that Zeng Cheng had only been hit and there was no major problem. The game continued, and the referee gave
Wenkai received a yellow card to warn him of his dangerous move, but at the same time he also awarded the ball to the Longteng team, allowing the Longteng team to get a corner kick.
The Longteng team's attack this time exposed the gap between the ability of their own forwards and that of Guangzhou Evergrande's forwards. Elkeson saw the opportunity, fought for the opportunity to shoot, and scored; while the Longteng team
Someone fed me a cake, and I basically shot the goal when I had a chance to score. However, I didn't get the cake, the cooked duck flew away, and I got a yellow card.
At the same time, it was the goalkeepers of both sides who exposed the gap. The goal conceded by the Longteng team was due to the goalkeeper’s lack of experience and ability. Guangzhou Evergrande relied on Zeng Cheng’s last effort to save Wen Kai’s supplementary goal.
Shoot into the invisible, trying to protect the city gate.
Liu Jianhong also felt very sorry for the goal that the Longteng team missed: "Ben Alfa has done everything he should do, and Ivo also did his best, but it is a pity that the last shot was taken."
Xu Yang also said: "I really should give Ben Alpha a thumbs up. His breakthrough and the last pass were both top-notch. It seems that coach Zhang Sheng has his own reasons for choosing him to start.
"
Zhang Sheng, who was mentioned by Xu Yang, hugged his head regretfully on the court, applauded Wen Kai encouragingly, and asked him to quickly participate in the corner kick. At the same time, he gestured to Lu Zhihui to let him go.
He goes into the penalty area and joins the attack.
Seeing Lu Zhihui entering the penalty area of Guangzhou Evergrande from the backcourt, the Evergrande players became alert one by one. Lu Zhihui's header ability impressed Evergrande so much before. The stronger of the two central defenders
Feng Xiaoting immediately attached himself to Lu Zhihui, and Jin Yingquan was also on the side, ready to grab the second spot.
It was Ben Alpha who was responsible for taking the corner kick, because he was also the player with the best footwork on the field. After the corner kick was taken, Lu Zhihui, who was the focus of defense, started to withdraw outside the penalty area. He withdrew.
, immediately attracted Feng Xiaoting and Jin Yingquan, but Jin Yingquan hesitated when he saw Lu Zhihui withdrawing, and he did not follow Feng Xiaoting and Lu Zhihui.
And the place where Ben Alpha passed the ball was exactly where Lu Zhihui was standing before. After Lu Zhihui withdrew from the outside, he suddenly made a circle and accelerated forward, leaping high to head the ball. Feng Xiaoting, who had been following Lu Zhihui, also got up to interfere.
.
It's a pity that Lu Zhihui's jumping ability and header ability are better than Feng Xiaoting's. When he knew that he couldn't directly header the ball, he didn't force it to attack the goal. Instead, he gently rubbed the ball back with his head. Just now
His main function in that circle is to get rid of Kim Young Kwon's second point of competition and create opportunities for the team.
Lu Zhihui's pass was very good. After Jin Yingquan was separated from Lu Zhihui, he did not grab the second point. Instead, Wen Kai, who was ambushing in the back point, grabbed the second point. This time Wenkai did not waste any more points created by his teammates.
Given the opportunity, he decisively shot with his left foot. Because it was too close to the goal, Zeng Cheng had no time to save it and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.
