After the game started, Seongnam FC played extremely cautiously. Without a good chance, they would rather defend in their own half, leaving only foreign forwards Lucas and Huang Yishu in the frontcourt.
As the core of Seongnam FC, 33-year-old veteran Kim Doo-hyun is the starting point of the team's offense.
Kim Doo-hyun once played for West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. He was the hero of West Bromwich Albion's promotion to the Premier League. As the nickname "Asia Scholes", he has very good skills with his feet and his passing ability is very good.
Outstanding, when he was in the Premier League, some people even praised his passing like a football quarterback's passing.
A good passer, a very fast foreign aid forward, and a forward who is very capable of grabbing points and supplementary shots, this is a classic defensive counterattack tactic.
The Longteng team still continued its own pass-and-control tactics. Several players in the frontcourt firmly controlled the ball in the midfield. However, when facing Seongnam FC's large defense, there were not many good offenses.
Chance.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng began to ask the players to choose more long-range shots.
Soon this tactic had a certain effect. In the 7th minute of the first half, Tao Wentao made a beautiful pass in the midfield, passing his defensive midfielder Jin Zhehao. Pato who came to meet him did not
Instead of stopping, he took a very beautiful long-range volley shot, but unfortunately the ball went slightly over the crossbar, causing the players of Seongnam FC to break into a cold sweat.
Next, Ben Arfa made a decisive breakthrough from the left, and the inverted triangle was passed to Tao Wentao, the midfielder in the penalty area. Tao Wentao's long shot hit the Chengnan FC player and missed the baseline. The Longteng team won a corner kick.
Shao Shengyi, who was in charge of the commentary, said: "The Longteng team now fully controls the initiative on the field. Chengnan FC can only rely on passive defense to stop the Longteng team's offense."
Shao Shengyi’s commentary partner for this game was veteran international Zhang Enhua. He carefully analyzed the situation on the field: “The Dragons’ style of play this season should be a typical Barcelona-style pass-and-control style. Several offensive personnel in front of them
They change positions very frequently, especially the young player Nie Jiang, who has very strong running ability. Seongnam FC’s defensive counterattack tactics cannot be underestimated. Now that the team is so suppressed, the two forwards in front of them are still there.
He didn’t come back from the frontcourt, so he obviously had a very determined attitude towards counterattack.”
As the game progressed, the Longteng team's formation also began to press closer. Especially after Zhang Sheng asked for more long-range shots, Lin Feng, who has a beautiful long-range shot ability, also began to look for shooting opportunities in front of the penalty area.
.
This opportunity came quickly. In the 25th minute, the Longteng team got a very good opportunity. Pato and Nie Jiang changed positions. Nie Jiang came to the right. This time he chose to pass the ball.
In the middle, the footwork of this cross is very good. It is exactly in the gap between the goalkeeper and the defensive player in the small penalty area. The defensive player does not dare to touch it because he is afraid that it will hit the goal and cause an own goal, and the goalkeeper does not dare to receive it.
You can only hit it with both fists. After the ball is hit, it happens to be at the front of the penalty area.
Tao Wentao ran away very smartly. While pulling away the player who was defending him, he also revealed a space for shooting. Lin Feng stepped in and shot a very beautiful long-range shot without stopping. The Chengnan FC player who was still lying on the ground
The goalkeeper had no chance to save the ball and could only watch the ball fly toward the goal. Unfortunately, the ball hit the post and bounced off the baseline.
Then the Longteng team continued to attack for more than 20 minutes, and also slightly slowed down the pace of the game. After all, the players' physical fitness did not allow them to continue attacking like this.
This is also the difference between the Chinese Super League and the K-League. In the K-League, needless to say, the confrontation between the top teams. Even those teams that are not too strong will play at a slower pace than they do now.
The Chinese Super League is faster, which is why Chinese Super League teams feel they play very tightly when they meet K-League teams. The reason why the Chinese team is always beaten by the opponent when facing the South Korean team - the pace of the game that the opponent usually encounters
And the intensity of confrontation is stronger than yours.
This time Seongnam FC chose this strategy. Let you attack for a while, and then I will use my strength. When the game is about to end, I will start to attack with all my strength to see if I can steal one.
When the Longteng team began to pass the ball in the midfield, the Seongnam FC players began to slowly press out. Except for Kim Doo-hyun, the other players began to press the Longteng team players.
After Lin Feng led the team to deal with the opponent in the midfield for a few minutes, he began to slowly look for the opponent's weaknesses.
Because the battle between the two sides was now in the midfield, Seongnam FC's defensive players also pushed out the formation slightly, and the gaps between the players also widened accordingly. Lin Feng began to think about how to mobilize the opponent's defense.
Focus on attacking.
Seongnam FC's two central defenders, Lin Caimin, who is 1.8.9 meters tall, are responsible for defending high balls. His header ability is very strong. In addition to controlling high-altitude balls when defending, he can also get in and attack with his head when attacking.
The other central defender, Jin Taiyun, is only 1.81 meters tall. He is a very flexible central defender. He is usually responsible for attacking.
Of course, their corresponding weaknesses are also obvious. Lin Caiwen's turn is very slow, and Jin Taiyun's attack is relatively reckless. Taking advantage of their weaknesses becomes something that Lin Feng needs to consider.
Soon under the command of Lin Feng, the Longteng team made certain adjustments in their offense. Tao Wentao and Nie Jiang changed positions this time. Tao Wentao moved to the forward position, and Nie Jiang became the shadow forward.
The purpose of this substitution is very clear, which is to use Tao Wentao's good foot skills to deceive Jin Tairun into attacking, and then let Nie Jiang attack Lin Caiwen, using his weakness of slow turning to find opportunities.
At the 34th minute of the first half, Lin Feng, who had been dealing with his opponent in the midfield for nearly ten minutes, began to plan the first wave of attacks.
This time he passed the ball to Pato, who played a two-on-one with him, and then attracted Chengnan FC's defensive focus in the midfield. Then Lin Feng passed the ball to Tao Wentao, and
It's not Nie Jiang who has been on the forward line before.
Jin Tairun didn't care when he saw Tao Wentao coming up. After all, the Longteng team changed positions very frequently in the frontcourt. He rushed up immediately, trying to slow down Tao Wentao's dribbling speed, but Tao Wentao's foot skills were obvious.
To exceed his imagination.
At the moment when Jin Tairun made the move, Tao Wentao made a light fried meatball move that made Jin Tairun's move fail. Fortunately, Jin Tairun turned around very quickly and immediately turned around and came closer.
It's just that Tao Wentao passed the ball very smartly this time.
Lin Caiwen was ready to rush to make up for the loss as soon as Jin Tairun failed. She wanted to flank Tao Wentao and deny him a chance to shoot. Unexpectedly, Tao Wentao passed the ball diagonally to the back. Nie Jiang was running at high speed.
Received the ball while moving.
Jin Tairun, who was separated by Tao Wentao, had no chance to defend. Lin Caiwen could only rush up to block it, but compared to Nie Jiang's flexibility, he was far behind. Nie Jiang suddenly dribbled the ball at high speed.
As soon as the ball was dunked and he made a move to shoot, Lin Caiwen quickly adjusted his center of gravity to block it.
However, Nie Jiang's move was a fake move. He made another spike. Nie Jiang's consecutive spikes were very easy. Lin Caiwen's height of nearly 1.9 meters was too difficult. Nie Jiang's second spike
The ball made him completely lose his center of gravity, and then Nie Jiang took a shot.
Nie Jiang chose a good angle for this shot, it was from the upper left corner of the goal. This is a position that goalkeepers hate very much because the angle is so tricky.
Seongnam FC goalkeeper Park Junhyuk tried his best but failed to touch the ball. Unfortunately, Nie Jiang, who was too keen on angles, hit the ball high and the ball flew over the crossbar.
Nie Jiang, who missed this opportunity, covered his head in regret. After all, Tao Wentao passed a beautiful pass to him, but he failed to seize the opportunity.
The commentator Shao Shengyi also lamented: "It's beautiful. Tao Wentao's deep-fried meatballs were a stroke of genius. He passed the ball, and Nie Jiang stepped in. It was beautiful. He smashed the ball, then smashed it again, and hit the goal. Oops, the shot was too high."
Zhang Enhua also said: "Two players under the age of 20. Tao Wentao's pass is beautiful, and Nie Jiang's movements are also very calm. It takes a lot of courage to smash the ball continuously in the penalty area, but the last kick is too
Too much pursuit of angles. For such young players to be able to perform so freely, they have a bright future."
Shao Shengyi also joked: "What if you encounter such a striker when playing football?"
Zhang Enhua also said to himself: "People on the Internet say that it will take half a century for me to turn around. If I meet such a striker, I probably won't be able to do anything."
Shao Shengyi was also amused by Zhang Enhua's words. Now the Longteng team took the absolute initiative on the court, and even the two Chinese commentators seemed very relaxed.
But Chengnan FC was different. The Longteng team's attack clearly identified their weaknesses. They almost lost the ball just as they pushed their formation forward slightly, which alerted them and they changed their formation again.
In order to recover, try to reduce the sprint distance of the Dragon Team.
Lin Feng also felt very sorry that his opponent was finally led out of the hole. Unexpectedly, this time he was able to scare the enemy away, and it became difficult to break the goal again.
After Seongnam FC recovered their formation, the field turned into a situation where the Longteng team patiently dropped the ball in front of their penalty area, looking for long-range shooting opportunities.
Lin Feng also began to frequently wander in front of the penalty area, hoping to find opportunities to shoot.
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Lin Feng got a chance to shoot from a long distance in front of the penalty area. The shot was slightly on target and was firmly held by the opponent's goalkeeper Park Junhyuk.
Park Jun Hyuk, who was holding the ball, accurately found Kim Doo Hyun in the midfield with his big foot. Kim Doo Hyun made a beautiful stop to remove the ball. At the same time, he turned around and got rid of Rock Gil's defense, and then made a half-high ball.
The cross found Huang Yishu in front of the penalty area.
At this time, Lin Feng was still in the frontcourt, Roque Gill also failed to defend, and the Longteng team's backcourt was very empty.
Huang Yisuke had already actively moved forward when Park Junhyuk opened the ball, and Lucas ran diagonally to draw away Ma Yongli's defensive attention. Huang Yishu faced McGowan's defense alone.
Because they have been pressing the opponent, there is basically no pressure on the Longteng team's defense. Faced with Huang Yishu's attack this time, McGowan was obviously not prepared enough. When he went up to grab him, Huang Yishu easily got rid of him, and then got up.
The shot was shot with his foot, and it was a very tricky shot. It was a ground ball, and it hit the lower right corner of the goal. Zhou Wei did not rush to save, and could only watch the ball pass by his hand and roll into the goal.
The Long Teng team pressed the opponent to play, but unexpectedly, the opponent failed to pay attention and was hit by a successful defensive counterattack.
Zhang Sheng, the fans on the sidelines, and the two commentators looked a little stunned. Chengnan FC's counterattack was too fast.
Shao Shengyi said a little embarrassed: "Huang Yishu's shot went in. The Longteng team was so unlucky. They had to press others for a long time and then lost the ball like this. The defense was obviously not well prepared."
Zhang Enhua said: "The game is like this. There are too many examples of attacking the opponent without scoring, and being stolen. I hope the Longteng team will not be impatient. The game is still very long. After all, we are the dominant side. There will be more to come later."
There are a lot of opportunities.”
After the goal, Seongnam FC began to celebrate wildly. Obviously, they did not expect that they could score so easily. Huang Yisuke, who was running wildly, was pinned down by his teammates and doubled up.
When Seongnam FC, which had finished celebrating, returned to the game, there was not much time left in the first half. Their players used the excitement after the goal to launch two consecutive attacks. The Longteng team relied on Zhou Wei's two saves to save the game.
Barely missed any more goals.
Zhang Sheng said nothing on the sidelines with a dark face.
The players who returned to the lounge after falling behind 0:1 also seemed a little listless, and they were more unwilling to give in.
Zhang Sheng did not criticize the players this time. After all, they played well on the court. Unlucky shots on several shots accounted for a large proportion. As for defense, I can only say that the players were too careless. Not only the players,
Or maybe I was too optimistic before the game and underestimated the tenacity of the Korean team.
Zhang Sheng said to McGowan: "Pay more attention in the second half. Although our opponent is said to be the weakest team in our group, I think everyone has seen that they are not weak."
McGowan nodded quickly and said, "I will pay attention."
Then Zhang Sheng said to all the players: "I want to apologize to everyone here. I underestimated the opponent a little before the game. It seems that their offense has been specially rehearsed. In the second half, we must attack their core midfielder Jin Douxuan.
Be careful, Huang Yizhu is a player with more flexible feet. Ma Yongli, you are responsible for keeping an eye on him. Gil, you have to do a good job of protecting him when returning to defense. Lin Feng, don't rush too deep in the second half, and help Gil guard Jin Dou appropriately.
dazzle.”
Finally, Zhang Sheng encouraged everyone: "Although they scored a goal, their strength is far inferior to us. As long as we maintain the tactics of the first half and firmly control the ball, the goal will come sooner or later. Let's continue in the second half.
