Zhou Ning's continuous praise of Longteng players made many Evergrande fans very unhappy. In addition, Zhou Ning has too many traces of Beijing Guoan (he basically spent his career in Guoan), which makes it even more frustrating.
Evergrande fans were gnashing their teeth, and a bunch of fans online even started to curse.
For a time, the scoldings of "Guo An S.B" and "Guo An S.B" were heard on the Internet. Beijing Guoan was innocently shot this time.
This round of Guangzhou Evergrande's offense did not end. After winning a corner kick, they played another successful set piece. Diamanti's pass did not directly find the high point in the penalty area, but was sent to the front point.
, Elkerson, who was in the front position, was not in a hurry to shoot when he could not turn around, but used his head to rub the ball back. Because the ball was flying in the penalty area, the Longteng players did not dare to touch it.
Gao Lin got an opportunity by inserting himself from the edge of the penalty area to the back post. Gao Lin faced the incoming ball and shot directly and vigorously. However, Gao Lin lived up to his reputation as a "high-flyer" and faced nearly one-third of the vacant goal.
The ball was incredibly high and flew over the crossbar.
Evergrande fans who were already preparing to celebrate sighed for a while, and soon everyone gave Gao Lin's shot a warm applause. Even Lippi on the sidelines applauded vigorously and gave Gao Lin a big
thumb.
Fans watching the game on the Internet began to complain: "Gao Lin's awareness is enough, but his footwork is really hard to compliment."
Some fans said: "Most Chinese players have good bodies but not enough brains. Gao Lin's brains are good enough, but his feet are disabled. He can only be regarded as physically disabled but mentally strong. It's a pity."
As the head coach, Zhang Sheng doesn't think so. It is an indisputable fact that Gao Lin has been increasing his goals in the past few years since he went to Evergrande. Because of Evergrande's strong foreign aid, he has been slowly pushed to the side from a standard center.
However, in this process, Gao Lin's golf intelligence improved by leaps and bounds. His running position, ability to stop the ball, and passing and receiving skills at his feet all improved qualitatively. Although he had not practiced shooting well since the beginning of his career, resulting in
His shooting ability is really bad, but he has repeatedly appeared where he should appear, and he can also repeatedly send beautiful and fatal passes to foreign players. No one can deny this.
It's really difficult to guard against such a player, and you can't be too careless about his shots. Who knows when he can get in with a single kick.
Zhang Sheng could only give instructions to the defenders on the field, not just to watch the ball, but to prevent Evergrande players from getting in behind at any time.
The high-speed offensive and defensive rhythm between the Longteng team and Evergrande made the fans super happy. The two commentators also rarely stopped making noises and completely focused on the offense and defense of both sides and stopped talking about other nonsense.
The Longteng team, which had just escaped Evergrande's attack, responded quickly. At the 10th minute of the first half, Ben Alpha received a pass from Lin Feng on the wing. This time he did not pass the ball.
Passed out, but suddenly started to break through. Facing Ben Alpha's breakthrough, ** Peng was thrown away by a position. He quickly fell to the ground to tackle, but Ben Alpha seemed to have expected that he would tackle.
He dodged it with a light jump and just caught up with the ball. Zheng Zhi in the middle quickly came over to fill the position. Ben Alpha made a passing motion, but the action was still a fake one. He chose to cut inside.
, and chose to pass the ball after cutting inside.
Zheng Zhi knew that he was in trouble this time, because he had already left the midfielder position. Once the ball was passed, the center would be empty. He quickly grabbed Ben Alpha's clothes with his hands and was in the process of changing direction.
Ben Alpha lost his center of gravity and was pulled to the ground by Zheng Zhi. The referee decisively came over and whistled Zheng Zhi for a foul and issued a warning.
Zhang Sheng was very dissatisfied with this penalty, because once the ball was passed, the Longteng team's offensive threat would be very great. Zheng Zhi should have received a yellow card for this obvious tactical foul. The referee may have taken care of the entire game.
Instead of taking out a yellow card, he chose a warning, but the Longteng team really suffered a loss.
However, the Longteng team also got a free kick in the frontcourt that was in a pretty good position.
Seeing several Longteng players standing in front of the ball, Duan Xuan introduced: "This ball is about 25,6 meters long. At this position, there are still many Longteng players who are capable of hitting the goal directly, including
Ben Alpha, Ivo and Lin Feng are now standing in front of the ball, and Ivo can shoot left and right, which is difficult for the goalkeeper to handle."
Duan Xuan guessed correctly, and it was Ivo who took the free throw in the end.
After observing Guangzhou Evergrande's wall and goalkeeper's position, Ivo did not choose to use his right foot to hit the ball on the right side of the goal. Instead, after running up, he suddenly made an arc with his left foot and the ball bypassed the wall.
It flew to the left side of the goal.
Zeng Cheng also didn't expect that Ivo would choose this more difficult curved leaf ball. He was standing a little to the right and could only extend his arms as much as possible to pounce to the left. However, by the time his body pounced, the ball was already fast.
It passed his arm, and he could only touch the ball slightly with his fingertips, but the ball still fell rapidly.
Just when Zeng Cheng had given up, the ball hit the lintel and bounced back. Wen Kai, who was ambushing in the penalty area, quickly went to grab the second spot, but Feng Xiaoting, who was more explosive and faster, kicked the ball first.
Out of the penalty area, Guangzhou Evergrande was lucky to save the goal.
Zeng Cheng, who had survived the disaster, jumped up excitedly, hugged Feng Xiaoting, and thanked him for the rescue just now. Even Diamanti patted Feng Xiaoting on the shoulder and thanked him for his crucial defense.
Zhang Sheng on the field paused with regret, and the commentator Duan Xuan also said: "I just said that Ivo has the ability to directly attack the goal with both his left and right feet. This time he showed his all-roundness. Fortunately, Heng Heng
The lintel of our own home court saved Evergrande once."
Zhou Ning also said: "Ivo is a really comprehensive player. He can break out, pass, shoot, and has a beautiful free kick. It is really a good deal for the Longteng team to buy him."
At this time, the Longteng team began to arrange corner kick tactics. Because Lu Zhihui could not play in this game, the Longteng team did not arrange a high ball tactic. Instead, they chose a tactical corner kick. Ben Alpha and Zhou Zhou passed the ball to Ben Alpha and Zhou Zhou.
Alpha handed the ball to Lin Feng in front of the penalty area. Lin Feng saw that no one was pressing him, so he took a shot directly. The ball traveled rapidly in the penalty area, but no one touched it. Finally, it missed slightly to the right.
The goalpost flew off the baseline.
Although the goal was not scored, Lippi was very unhappy. When Lin Feng kicked off in front of the penalty area, no player came up to interfere. This was really too dangerous. He quickly shouted to the players on the court: "
Pay attention to pressing, protect the area at the top of the penalty area, and don't miss anyone!"
Zheng Zhi quickly nodded to show that he understood, then pulled Huang Bowen and said: "When I am guarding Ivo, you should watch Lin Feng and don't let him shoot easily. His long-range shooting ability is still very strong, so be careful."
Huang Bowen also humbly accepted Big Brother's arrangement and said: "I will pay attention to it later."
In the following game, both sides did not become conservative because the goal was threatened. Everyone still tried their best to strengthen the offense, especially in the midfield competition. Both sides invested heavily in the competition. The Longteng team relied on several midfielders.
Players pass the ball to control the ball, while Guangzhou Evergrande relies on their physical advantages to strengthen the press.
On the Longteng team's side, Ivo and Lin Feng kept exchanging positions. When Ivo went to intercept the attacks of Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen, Lin Feng stepped forward to respond. When Lin Feng attacked, it was Ivo who protected Lin Feng.
The gap after leaving the position.
On the Guangzhou Evergrande side, Zheng Zhi relied on his experience and good vision to sort out the midfield. Diamanti and Elkeson often dropped back to receive his passes. These two ball-protecting players
Extremely strong players often grab the ball in the midfield and attract many defensive players from the Longteng team, and then knock the ball back to Zheng Zhilai to organize the offense. Huang Bowen uses his active running and abundant physical energy to run up and down.
, he used his long-range shots to threaten the Longteng team's goal whenever he had the opportunity.
The goalkeepers of both sides also attracted much attention in this game. Zhou Wei, who was holding his breath, showed 100% of his concentration and state in this game.
After receiving a red card for a reckless attack in the AFC Champions League last time, Zhou Wei was severely punished by Zhang Sheng and was quickly sent to the bench by Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng would rather use a goalkeeper like Song Jianhua, who is not at the level of the Chinese Super League, than let him play in the game, which made him feel a strong sense of crisis as he always believed that his main position was inevitable.
What makes Zhou Wei even more frightened is another piece of news - the Chinese Football Association is currently preparing to reform the qualifications for professional players. The previous age of 18 must be changed from the age of 18 to the age of 16 to sign a professional contract to participate in the game. Zhou Wei had already
This is not the first time that club personnel mentioned that although Huang Dawei, the goalkeeper who is currently playing in the reserve team, is only 16 years old, he has very strong technical ability and has the natural good trait of this goalkeeper - stability. Everyone agreed that although Huang Dawei is better than
He is small, but he is more like a mature goalkeeper.
In the past, Zhou Wei thought that no matter how powerful Huang Dawei was, he would have to wait two years to pose a threat to him. Unexpectedly, the crisis was already in front of him, so Zhou Wei acted very seriously during this period. In the past, he often suffered hardships and complained that he was tired.
, now he has become a completely different person.
At the same time, Zhou Wei also knows that this game is his real test. The usual Chinese Super League games for Zhang Sheng can be regarded as a small test, but this time it is a real big test. It depends on whether he can stabilize his main position in Zhang Sheng's heart.
This battle.
As the goalkeeper of Guangzhou Evergrande, Zeng Cheng also performed stably enough in this game. He has saved the more threatening shots of the Longteng team many times, and he is worthy of being one of the current national team's goals.
Until the 40 minutes of the first half of this game, the players on both sides far exceeded their physical limits. The dizzying alternation of offense and defense slowly reduced the density. All the players on the scene were
The fans finally had time to breathe, and only then did they realize that their voices had become hoarse at some point.
Also feeling tired are the two commentators. They have been stimulated by the high-tempo game today. The players of the two teams have exquisite cooperation, beautiful offense, tough defense, frequent threatening shots, and
The goalkeeper's wonderful save kept them talking, and it was only now that they calmed down a little.
Duan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The 40 minutes in the first half can be said to be one of the best first halves in the history of the Chinese Super League. The speed of offensive and defensive transitions and the tactical arrangements and confrontations of the two teams are really rare. If the Chinese Super League
All competitions are of this level, tsk tsk..."
Zhou Ning also fully agreed with Duan Xuan's words: "It is true. Although the two teams have not scored yet, judging from the content reflected in these 40 minutes, it is a rare classic game in recent years.
, This shows that the Longteng team is fully capable of competing with Guangzhou Evergrande. You must know that they still have top foreign players like Pato in the team who are absent. Once Pato is also on the court, the offensive power of the frontcourt
, it really has to be beautiful and picturesque.”
At the same time, fans on the Internet were also full of praise for the 40-minute game. Many fans used their humorous abilities, such as: "My mother asked me why I was kneeling to watch the game."
"When I watched the game, I thought I was watching the Premier League, but it turned out to be the Chinese Super League!"
"Me too, I thought it was Arsenal versus Manchester United!" (Arsenal's away game has yellow players, and so does the Dragons.)
Following the commentators' words, the first half of the game came to an end, and the first half ended with a score of 0:0.
During the halftime break, Zhang Sheng encouraged the players' performance in the first half: "Everyone did a good job in the first half. We had many opportunities. As long as we work harder, victory is right in front of us."
Then Zhang Sheng specifically told Ben Alpha: "If you have the opportunity in the second half, you can move closer to the center, switch positions more, and let Ivo help you guard the left. This can disrupt the opponent's defensive formation more."
Ben Alpha quickly agreed to Zhang Sheng's request. In fact, in normal training, Ben Alpha was often assigned to the middle by Zhang Sheng, which was considered one of the team's common tactics.
When the players of the Longteng team were eating and drinking to replenish their energy, and were getting massages to restore their physical strength under the arrangement of the physical therapist, Lippi was also encouraging the players in the Guangzhou Evergrande locker room: "The current score is very favorable to us, but we cannot relax.
, because we still lack a goal. As long as we score a goal, the victory will basically belong to us, so in the second half, our tactics remain unchanged - attack, attack and attack again!"
