At 15:35 on November 2, the 30th round of the 2014 Chinese Super League started in full swing. The two most watched league championship battles also started with the opening whistle of two foreign referees.
Zhang Sheng looked a little nervous standing on the sidelines. Although he had led the team for several years and had experienced two promotions, he had already transformed from a novice to a seasoned veteran. But when it came time to compete for the Chinese Super League championship, Zhang Sheng
Still can't help but seem worried about gain and loss.
Moreover, Zhang Sheng's current mood is the mood of most of the Longteng players on the field. These young players, except for a few time-tested foreign players, are all extremely nervous, which leads to many actions.
Out of shape, it was a home game. Beijing Guoan, who had many championship experiences, seemed much calmer.
Only two minutes into the game, Beijing Guoan almost scored a goal using its sharp offensive.
This time, Zhang Xizhe on the left used his skills to play a trick on Shu Jun. He continuously passed the ball to Shu Jun from the side to the middle, and then moved the ball from the middle to the side, playing another blow to his home court.
He was familiar with it and made full use of the width of the field to spin around the Longteng team's right defense. In the end, the decisive factor was Zhang Xizhe's sudden start after receiving the ball. After passing Shu Jun, he formed a
There was a chance to cross the ball, but Shu Jun, who used too much force, was obviously out of position.
Zhang Xizhe's constant dispatching on the wing reflects his advantage as a wing organizer.
Zhang Xizhe has always been one of the few players in the Chinese national team in recent years who is able to hold the ball on the wing, run and distribute the ball. He has a good role in the ribs and high positions. He can be regarded as an Asian player.
A qualified attacking midfielder.
The position of the winger and midfielder has been a comprehensive position on the field in recent years. Compared with the previous wingers who ran up and down alone and the attacking midfielder who purely organized in the frontcourt, they can be regarded as integrating the functions of these two positions. They can both use
He has the skills to break through with his feet, and can cooperate with his teammates when the defense is tight to involve the opponent's overall defense line to achieve a combination of looking for fighter opportunities.
This time Zhang Xizhe fully demonstrated these two characteristics. He first used coordination to attract the Longteng team's midfield defense to the left, and then suddenly used his own breakthrough to create an offensive opportunity. He looked very good on the court.
The Nervous and restless Longteng players obviously failed to keep up with his rhythm. Even Shu Jun, who is usually very calm, lost his composure and Zhang Xizhe found an opportunity.
After Zhang Xizhe succeeded in getting down, he had the opportunity to pass the ball calmly, and Deyang, as the center, also ran into the position. Zhang Xizhe also did a good job in the last pass of the ball. Deyang didn't have to be too careful when getting the ball.
If you adjust your position more, you will have a chance to shoot. Unfortunately, Deyang's shot missed the goal slightly, making Zhang Sheng on the sidelines break into a cold sweat.
After finishing the shot, Deyang also looked a little embarrassed. Zhang Xizhe's pass was very good, and he wasted a rare opportunity. After sighing, he gave Zhang Xizhe a thumbs-up.
express my gratitude.
CCTV’s Shen Fangjian was in charge of commentating this focus game. He clearly saw the problems of the Longteng team on the field: “The Longteng team seemed too nervous. The players’ movements were too hard. There was no need for Shu Jun to rush the ball just now.
Big, Zhang Xizhe immediately found a chance to break through. If it were normal times, Shu Jun would never be like this. He has always been known for his maturity and prudentness in the Longteng team. There are so many powerful foreign players in the Longteng team, and there are many more
A player with greater reputation and strength, but when coach Zhang Sheng chose him as captain, he chose him without hesitation. This should be his priority."
Sun Lei, who was the guest commentator for this game, said very directly: "This is mainly because the players of the Longteng team are too young. Shu Jun does look young and mature, but the players of the Longteng team are too young, so the overall atmosphere of the team
It will definitely affect him as well, which is why young players like to lose control at critical moments."
When Zhang Sheng saw the situation on the field, he also wanted to take some actions to make a difference. Unfortunately, when he looked back at the players on his bench, these substitutes were younger!
At this time, the team's shortcomings of not having veterans are exposed, and there is no effective way to change this disadvantage. This is not a tactical reason, nor is it a lack of player strength.
Experience and age cannot be stolen no matter what. Although Zhang Sheng has a system, he is not a god. Even the system sometimes seems to be indifferent to him. What else can he do?
Woolen cloth?
Zhang Sheng only hopes that the players on the field will adapt to the atmosphere after a period of competition, and at the same time prays that the team will not lose the ball at this time.
However, how could the experienced players of Beijing Guoan let go of such an opportunity? In the 5th minute, the Guoan team made a comeback. This time their attack direction was Shu Jun on the right.
The Guoan team's offense this time originated from a ball lost by the Longteng team in the frontcourt, and it was Wen Kai who lost the ball.
After Deyang's shot missed, the Longteng team finally got the ball. Ding Huaiyi on the right also used his beautiful pass to get past Zhang Xizhe to avenge Shu Jun, but unfortunately he was in the forward line.
Wenkai looked a little timid.
Ding Huaiyi wanted to cooperate with him after giving him the ball, but Wenkai did not seize this opportunity. He was obviously afraid that his pass would not be in place and would be intercepted by a Beijing Guoan player. After receiving the pass, he looked up and observed
It took him a long time to prepare to pass the ball, but in such an important game, there was no chance for him to spend so much time observing. Xu Yunlong, the old captain of Guoan, had been staring at Wenkai for a long time, just when Wenkai wanted to pass the ball.
After a successful attack, Xu Yunlong, who intercepted the ball, made a long pass and directly found a large left wing that was vacated by Ding Huaiyi's assist.
Zhang Xizhe, who got the ball on the left, looked very relaxed when facing Shu Jun's defense. He made a fake move to distribute the ball to the middle and suddenly accelerated. Zhang Xizhe had passed him once before.
Shu Jun never expected that he would go it alone again, because Zhang Xizhe was not a player known for his speed. He was obviously not well prepared and had no choice but to pull Zhang Xizhe's clothes.
Zhang Xizhe was very smart and stopped directly, then threw away his hands and started to complain to the referee. He knew that his speed was not his strong point. Even if he dribbled the ball forward, Shu Jun would most likely catch up. What he was waiting for was
Shu Jun committed a foul this time, and Shu Jun was also fooled.
Shu Jun's foul caused the Guoan fans on the sidelines to curse one after another. Coupled with Zhang Xizhe's angry expression, it seemed as if he had been greatly wronged. The Guoan players on the field also came to help.
The referee applies pressure.
Under the cheers of the fanatical fans at home and the encouragement of the Guoan players, the referee came over and took out the card without saying a word. Shu Jun was obviously a little unconvinced after receiving such a yellow card.
There are a lot of pulling and tugging movements on the court, and the referee mostly uses verbal warnings for such movements, not to mention that this is the first time for him to use such a non-violent foul action in this game. Even if Zhang Xizhe
His other teammates who rushed forward were also behind him, and there were not many good scoring opportunities. Of course, he felt dissatisfied.
When Shu Jun wanted to negotiate with the referee, the more experienced Rock Gill quickly pulled him away. Judging from this penalty, the referee was obviously the kind of referee who enforced the law strictly, and everyone also
It's on someone else's home court. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. It's only right to apologize quickly and leave.
Zhang Sheng also shouted Shu Jun's name from the sidelines: "Shu Jun! Pay attention to your emotions and suppress them!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Sheng also made a gesture of pressing down with both hands.
Seeing the seriousness and dissatisfaction on Zhang Sheng's face, Shu Jun quickly ran away from the scene of the incident, and then went to join the formation of the wall. Beijing Guoan got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
The person who took the free kick was Batala, who had just returned from the previous games.
Batala is a foreign player that Beijing Guoan spent a lot of money to introduce this season. He came to the team wearing the hat of "Turkish League Assists King". Although he did not provide many assists, he developed the ability to score goals. He ranked first in the first half of the league.
His offense helped the Guoan team score a lot of points, but in the away game against the Longteng team, Batala was seriously injured. The final conclusion was that the medial collateral ligament of the right knee joint was torn.
After the injury, Batala chose conservative treatment, which was to fix the injury with a plaster. After more than three weeks of immobilization, the doctor concluded that full recovery was expected to take two and a half months, and some media at the time believed that
, Batala may be reimbursed this season, and even if he returns, there will only be one or two rounds left.
However, Batala's recovery speed is obviously faster than everyone predicted. In the 26th round of the league, he returned from injury on September 28th, and after adapting to these games and the middle
During the two-week offseason, Batala's condition has obviously improved a lot. In this game, he also appeared in the starting lineup as the main force. Beijing Guoan has another powerful attack point in the frontcourt.
.
After observing the Longteng team's goalkeeper position and the wall for a while, he chose to shoot directly. The ball was about 30 meters away from the goal. Although the shot was very powerful, the angle was not awkward. Zhou Wei stood at
After getting the ball steadily in front of the goal, Guoan team wasted another opportunity.
In only five minutes of the game, the Guoan team had already scored two shots, which made Zhang Sheng very embarrassed. From the beginning of the game to now, he has never had a chance to sit on the coaching bench and has been calling the players' names loudly from the sidelines.
, hoping to get them back to normal.
However, judging from the situation on the field, this effect was not significant, because a few minutes later the Longteng team lost the ball again in the frontcourt, and it was Wen Kai who lost the ball.
After being hesitant last time and leading to the ball being intercepted, Wenkai overcorrected this time. After receiving Pato's pass, he passed the ball out without waiting. The ball was passed by Guoan midfielder Mazic who followed him.
This pass was too obvious and was intercepted. The Longteng team finally passed the ball through the midfield to Beijing. Beijing Guoan easily lost the ball in the backcourt.
Guoan, who succeeded in stealing the ball, immediately launched a counterattack. This time they still played Shu Jun's way. Obviously they believed that Shu Jun, who had a yellow card on him, was an excellent breakthrough point.
In the end, Guoan's ball was handed over to Zhang Xizhe. After passing Shu Jun twice in a row, Zhang Xizhe was obviously full of confidence. He used the swing of his center of gravity many times to make Shu Jun lose his judgment.
Shu Jun is not embarrassed.
Shu Jun, who received the yellow card, suddenly stabilized as if waking up from a dream.
Zhang Xizhe finally chose to break through, but unfortunately Shu Jun blocked his breakthrough route with one step and successfully intercepted the ball.
After losing the ball, Zhang Xizhe immediately reached out to the referee to say that Shu Jun had committed a foul. However, the referee who was not far away saw clearly that this was not a foul at all, but a very beautiful step-over steal. He
After shaking his head, he stood up and ran with Shu Jun, because Shu Jun had already taken the ball and started to counterattack, but Zhang Xizhe still stayed in the position where the ball was intercepted just now, and did not defend.
After carrying the ball for a while, he saw another midfielder of Guoan, He Dacheng, coming to defend him. Shu Jun did not act like Zhang Xizhe, but distributed the ball to Tao Wentao, who came to respond.
Because of Lin Feng's injury, Tao Wentao started this game and occupied the core position of the midfielder. In the first few minutes of the game, the Longteng team played very scattered and he did not have many opportunities to hold the ball. This time he
Finally got a chance to show off.
When He Dacheng saw Shu Jun passing the ball, he quickly turned around to guard against Tao Wentao.
However, Tao Wentao made a very beautiful turn and wiped the ball, which disintegrated He Dacheng's defense. Tao Wentao got the ball past He Dacheng and started to rush in the middle.
This is the difference between Tao Wentao and Lin Feng on the court. If Lin Feng was on the court, he would most likely pass the ball to Shu Jun again and then go forward to respond. However, Tao Wentao, who is more confident in his skills at his feet, chose
It is a breakthrough.
It should be said that the two people's choices have their own merits. Lin Feng's approach will be more prudent, but the attack speed will be slightly slower. Tao Wentao's attack appears to be sharper, but there will be certain hidden dangers if it fails, which requires the Longteng team's
Other players pay attention to different styles of play at different times.
Tao Wentao, who rushed forward with the ball, could not carry it very far. After all, this is the middle of the stadium and the most crowded place. After He Dacheng's defense failed, Mazic followed closely.
Tao Wentao did not choose to pass this time, but handed the ball to Pato. He ran horizontally to draw away the defenders for Pato. After receiving the ball, Pato saw He Dacheng, who was back in place on defense beside him.
He chose to pass the ball, and the one who got the ball was Ben Alpha who came to respond.
After getting the ball, Ben Alpha chose to cut inside. When he came to the edge of the penalty area and saw that the ball could not be passed into the penalty area, he directly chose to shoot. This shot was very threatening. Guoan goalkeeper Yang Zhi saved the ball.
After a moment, the ball rolled out of the baseline.
The Longteng team, which had been pressed hard, finally got a shot.
