In the Longteng team's locker room, Zhang Sheng's first concern was Ben Alpha's physical condition. However, Ben Alpha seemed very confident in this game. His response was: "I think I am in good condition now. I am completely
I can play the entire second half.”
Zhang Sheng did not answer Ben Alpha immediately, but turned to look at the coaches Leutard and Zettermeisl of the physical fitness team. Leutard shook his head and said: "His body is still recovering. If you want to
It is still difficult to play the whole game for the time being. Of course, if the players are in a high state, it is not impossible to persevere, but it will be a bit of a headache to recover."
Zettermeisl also nodded in agreement with his colleagues.
"I know you performed very well today, but football games are not just one game." Zhang Sheng said to Ben Alfa, "If your physical fitness reaches the limit in the second half, I hope you can tell me as soon as possible. I don't want you to affect the next game.
competition, and I don’t want to see you get injured due to lack of physical fitness.”
Ben Alpha nodded and said: "I know, BOSS, I will make my own judgment."
Zhang Sheng nodded without saying anything. He chose to trust Ben Alpha.
Then Zhang Sheng made a request to Ding Huaiyi: "Ding Huaiyi, you were too quiet in the first half. What Ben Alpha did on the left, I believe you can do it on the right. What I want is a double
Lu Qifei, you have to be more active."
Ding Huaiyi nodded quickly and said: "I will work harder in the second half."
Zhang Sheng also patted Ding Huaiyi on the shoulder encouragingly and said: "Come on in the second half."
Finally, Zhang Sheng comforted Song Jianhua: "I performed well in the first half. Don't worry about losing the ball. In the second half, be more focused and try not to let go. If you are not sure about holding the ball, just hit the ball out of the penalty area or simply hit the baseline."
"
Song Jianhua quickly stood up and apologized: "Head coach, I will pay attention to it."
Zhang Sheng nodded and said nothing more. After all, Song Jianhua's abilities were there and he couldn't ask too much of him.
In the Guangzhou Evergrande locker room, Lippi was arranging tactics against Lu Zhihui: "Today's game was very difficult, the opponent was very strong, but we did not fall behind. Now we are still 1:1. I think everyone
Knowing the value of away goals in the AFC Champions League, this shows that the opponent still has many weaknesses. In addition to their poor goalkeeper ability, the other central defender they started today also has his own weaknesses, which is Lu Zhihui.
"
"We can see from previous games that he has a good body and is particularly good at heading the ball, but he turns slower than the other central defender. At the same time, he has the biggest weakness, which is that he grabs too hard and sometimes misses the ball.
Well, I think everyone knows how to do it!" Lippi said inspiringly to the players.
The first person to respond was Elkerson, who said: "Use your speed to hit him behind, or use your skills to stagger him."
"Yes, you said it very well!" Lippi praised. "The other thing is that you can use the foul after he loses the position to let him get a card or take a free kick. At this time, Diamanti, you
opportunity."
Diamanti nodded quickly and said: "I will not waste the free kick opportunity."
After giving the order to attack, Lippi once again emphasized defense: "Zhao, your task today is to defend. I don't want to see you rush through the midfield. Even if we suppress the opponent, the most you can do is
Stand on the center circle line."
Zhao Xuyang nodded quickly, and Lippi continued to give instructions: "Gao, you performed well after coming on the field. Keep it up, counterattack immediately after losing the ball, and sorting out the ball is your main task. I believe you will be better than before."
Those teammates are even better!”
Hearing Lippi's praise, Gao Jun said happily: "I can do it."
While the two teams were arranging various things, the fans seemed very bored because there was really too little they could do.
How well the fans can live during halftime depends entirely on the infrastructure of the stadium. If the stadium is poor, they can only curse and go to the toilet, but if the surrounding area of the stadium is well planned, they can survive these 15 minutes.
Very interesting.
For example, in developed football markets like Europe, the halftime breaks of many established teams are very unique. For example, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid, fans enjoy themselves for just 15 minutes.
In these 15 minutes, you can immediately find a small shop and buy some egg tarts to replenish your body after shouting for most of the time. You can also drink some beer to moisten your throat. You can also play pool and kickball with your friends who are going there.
Live broadcasts, you can even chat with fans who are fans of the same club and make new friends. Of course, if you don’t have a strong fan tendency, it is also a good choice to interact with fans of the opponent team.
These are the very mature economies around the stadiums in Europe. However, it is still difficult for this culture to be formed in China. Of course, the golf market is now in the recovery stage and there is still a lot of room for development, but it is currently lagging behind.
For example, 15 minutes at the stadium here in Jiangcheng is quite boring. You can only play with mobile phones and the like. Moreover, the signal connection in the stadium is so poor that sometimes you can’t even make calls. You can only play mobile games. Plus Jiangcheng Sports
Several small shops in the center have been divided up a lot by relevant personnel, and it is difficult for the Longteng Club to intervene. As a result, the products in these small shops are both scarce and expensive. When they cannot make ends meet for a long time, business is very poor. It can be said to be a lose-lose situation.
This is also the reason why Longteng Club builds its own stadium, because for the club, this revenue is not a small one.
When the halftime break was about to end, players from both sides began to wait in the tunnel for admission. Fans who had been bored for a long time began to put away their mobile phones and prepared to cheer for the team. The two commentators also began to comment on the second half of the game.
prediction.
Liu Jianhong was the first to speak: "Xu Yang, what do you think of the second half of the game?"
"It's hard to say. Both teams are very strong, the coaches have good skills, and the players also have top players who can turn the situation around with their own abilities. The situation is difficult to predict." Xu Yang cannot be blamed on either side.
responded.
Liu Jianhong also felt that he had asked a boring question, and after saying "haha", he said: "Then let's look forward to their performance in the second half."
Soon after the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began. The Longteng team, playing at home, started to attack from the first moment. The difference from the first half was that this time not only Ben Alpha was active, but even
Ding Huaiyi on the right was also firing on all cylinders, and the Long Teng team began to truly fly together.
Liu Jianhong, who was still slowly introducing the first half of the game to the fans, immediately got into the mood: "Oh! Ding Huaiyi's breakthrough, he passed two Guangzhou Evergrande players in a row, beautiful, and he flicked the tail of the bull.
, Evergrande’s players had to foul to stop him.”
Ding Huaiyi's breakthrough forced Gao Jun to foul, and then Ivo's free kick went over the crossbar, but soon the Dragons made a comeback, this time with Ben Alpha on the left.
In the 5th minute of the second half, Ben Alfa made a breakthrough move, but sent a pass very exquisitely. Full-back Zhou Zhou came up from the side, shook off **Peng's defense and made a pass. Wenkai's pass in the middle
The header forced Zeng Cheng to make a save, and Ivo from outside the penalty area grabbed the second goal, and his long shot missed the goal slightly.
The Longteng team's continuous attacks put Guangzhou Evergrande's defense in danger, and Lippi had to stand on the sidelines to keep the players focused and strengthen defense.
Liu Jianhong also said: "The Longteng team has exerted its strength. There are more flowers on the left and right sides in the middle. Evergrande is in a bit of trouble."
But at this time, no one noticed Lippi making a gesture to the backline players.
In the 8th minute of the second half, this was the third good chance the Longteng team got in the second half.
This time, after Lin Feng made a series of connections in the middle, he distributed the ball to Ben Alpha, who inserted into the ribs of the Evergrande center back and full back. Ben Alpha sent a beautiful pass after attracting the attack of three opponents players.
The pass was passed, and Ivo, who was on the ball route, made a conscious mistake and deceived the two players who came to defend him. When Ding Huaiyi on the right received the ball, his side was completely empty.
Ding Huaiyi faced Sun Xiang who had grabbed the ball and made a direct pass without stopping the ball. Ivo, who successfully countered offside, broke into the penalty area and formed a one-on-one goal.
Ivo wanted to hit a ground ball in the blind corner of the goal, but he was too obsessed with the angle and kicked the ball on the goal post. The Longteng team wasted another excellent opportunity.
"Ah, Ivo's single shot! His shot! Oh, it hit the goal post. How could this ball hit the goal post?" Liu Jianhong also looked incredulous.
The one who agreed with the look of disbelief was Ivo himself, who covered his face and was very upset about his shot.
Xu Yang also said helplessly: "Ding Huaiyi's pass was very imaginative. He kept picking up the ball and passing it. Evergrande's entire defense was suppressed and was penetrated by this pass at once.
, Ivo’s goal is much harder to miss than it is to score it.”
While the commentators were still lamenting the Longteng team's goal, Guangzhou Evergrande had already launched a counterattack.
Zeng Cheng, who had just luckily picked up the ball that bounced off the goalpost, quickly threw the ball. The person who caught the ball was Feng Xiaoting. After receiving the ball, he took advantage of his accurate long-distance ball and kicked it with a big kick.
He drove the ball into the Longteng team's half.
The Longteng team players, who were still regretting the shot just now, were all shocked and rushed back to defend. However, the Longteng team was still in an offensive posture just now, with only one midfielder, Roque Gill, in the backcourt.
Neither side controlled the ball well during Amanti's header, and the ball flew behind them.
Gilardino, who retreated from the penalty area, came over and grabbed the ball. It was Lu Zhihui who came out to mark him. Lu Zhihui looked very confident when facing this ball. He wanted to go up and fight for the half goal, but Gilardino
Very smart, he did not fight Lu Zhihui head-on, but stretched out his foot to poke the ball, and at the same time turned around and blocked Lu Zhihui behind him.
Lu Zhihui, who had pounced a little too hard, realized his mistake. He quickly grabbed Gilardino, who was turning around, thinking that he would stop Gilardino even if he got a card.
It's a pity that there is another player who is more alert than Gilardino - Elkeson. The moment Gilardino poked the ball, he started to shake off Shu Jun, who had been beside him, and then faced Ma Yongli.
The ball went through an arc, bypassed the arm of Song Jianhua who jumped into the air, and flew into the net behind him.
Guangzhou Evergrande used a long pass from the backcourt to counterattack and hit a fatal blow, taking the lead again to 1:2.
Liu Jianhong also shouted loudly: "It's in, it's in, it's in. This is the ability of a top shooter. As long as there is an opportunity, he will never let it go. Elkson is a very capable player."
"This goal has a big impact on the Longteng team. After I wasted several good opportunities, Evergrande scored on a counterattack. I hope the players of the Longteng team will not be impatient." Xu Yang felt a little sorry for the Longteng team.
"Hey, the referee also took out a card, who is it going to be given to?"
"It should be Lu Zhihui. Just now he completely pulled Gilardino to the ground. Because the ball was at Elkeson's feet, the referee gave Evergrande a chance to continue attacking in accordance with the principle of offensive advantage. However, Lu Zhihui's foul was indeed
It’s enough to get the cards, so it’s not an exaggeration to make up the cards now.” Liu Jianhong explained.
The one who was even more angry on the sidelines was Zhang Sheng. The players were obviously too careless. If the offense failed, they should have immediately returned to defense, or counterattacked on the spot. However, when Feng Xiaoting passed the long pass, no one came up to interfere, which made him very upset.
Comfortably gave Diamanti a chance to transition with a header.
Zhang Sheng shouted loudly on the court: "Concentrate and defend!"
The players on the field were still in a state of confusion, "Aren't we always pressing the opponent? Why did we suddenly lose the ball?" This is what many Longteng players are thinking now.
After another kick-off, the players of the Longteng team seemed very impatient. Ding Huaiyi, thinking about Zhang Sheng's request for midfield, started dribbling a lot, while Ivo, who missed the opportunity, shot several consecutive shots to save face. Even Ben.
Alpha also began to act alone - if his teammates no longer passed the ball to him, how could he pass the ball to his teammates?
Although the Longteng team appeared to be very sharp in offense in the following games, most of them were not threatening because everyone was fighting on their own. On the contrary, Guangzhou Evergrande played two high-quality counterattacks in a row. Fortunately, Song Jianhua's performance
Very good. Although he didn't catch the ball, he successfully blocked the ball. At least he didn't let the team lose the ball again.
Seeing the performance of the players on the field, Zhang Sheng knew that he should make a substitution.
