Xiao Moto is a player that all Chinese Super League fans are very familiar with.
This player who historically transferred to Chongqing Lifan for 300,000 euros has performed ten times what he was worth, and he still had plenty of room for growth in 1993.
At the same time, as a relatively unknown player, he can also accept his position as a substitute with peace of mind.
Another player has to thank his former brother Costa for his help.
Andres Chavez is not a well-known player. He was born in 1991 and even played for Banfield in the Argentine Second Division a year ago. He did not come from the youth training of a well-known club. It is the career trajectory of an ordinary Argentinian player - playing in the second division to support his family, retiring when he is old and finding a job at a club to complete his career.
But after he scored two goals against Boca Juniors, he was valued by the opponent and was introduced as a new star.
It's just that he had bad luck. In his first year with the team, he didn't have many playing opportunities. In addition, Boca Juniors did not perform well that year. He was double beaten by Ecuador in the semi-finals of the Copa Libertadores. After that, the club's top management immediately launched a purge on the team, and Andres Chavez became one of the scapegoats and was loaned to Sao Paulo.
In the Sao Paulo team, he mostly had the opportunity to play as a substitute, but the elder Costa valued him very much and obtained the identity of his agent through connections. He also became a player of the Wuzhou Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Longteng team.
When Zhang Sheng approached Costa about suitable midfield and frontfield players for Brazil, Andres Chavez was naturally recommended.
As a reborn player, Zhang Sheng still has some impressions of this player, because he later became the main forward of the Sao Paulo team and scored many goals in competitions such as the Copa Libertadores.
Currently, the Longteng team still has purchase quotas for two foreign players, so it is very suitable to buy these two players.
Longteng Club is still very efficient in buying foreign players. After finalizing the personnel, Longteng Club starts negotiations with the players and the clubs to which the players belong.
After dealing with player signings, Zhang Sheng once again turned his attention back to the league. This game is also a tough battle for the Longteng team. They will face Beijing Guoan, their direct opponent for the league championship, at their home court.
Beijing Guoan's performance so far this season is still very impressive. They are currently ranked third in the league with a goal difference disadvantage. Although they were eliminated from the AFC Champions League, they once again reached the top 16.
For the team to have such a performance, it can be said that head coach Manzano takes the greatest credit.
In terms of investment, Beijing Guoan is not spending big money; in terms of players, most of Beijing Guoan's players are older; in terms of lineup, Beijing Guoan's bench depth is still lacking. But even under these circumstances, he still leads the team. To reach our current position, his contribution is obvious to all.
However, at the beginning of the season, his decision to let Feizulaw replace Madzic's quota to register for the AFC Champions League has always been criticized. This move was even considered to be the main reason for Guoan's elimination from the AFC Champions League.
But in Zhang Sheng's view, Manzano has done his best. After all, the current Guoan team, whether local players or foreign players, are not considered the top in the Chinese Super League. Look at their wins this season, basically at home. You will know that they do not have the ability to attack difficult situations.
Before the game, Manzano, who is very self-aware, seemed very low-key in an interview: "The Dragons now have the best foreign players in the Chinese Super League, and they also have the best domestic players in the Chinese Super League. This game will be
It’s very difficult. But we will try our best.”
Regarding the smoke bomb released by Manzano, Zhang Sheng reminded the players in the locker room before the game: "Don't be fooled by the opponent's praise. Everyone must remember that we lost to our opponent at home last year, and last year
I believe the last round of the game is still fresh in everyone's memory. If we want to win the championship this year, this game is a must-win game. I don't want to see you slack off on the court for a minute."
All the players in the locker room looked extremely focused. This Longteng team had never won in the Chinese Super League, so everyone's fighting spirit was extremely high. Even without Zhang Sheng's reminder, no one would take this lightly.
opponent.
After the game, the players were indeed very active and showed their 100% form from the very beginning.
After the game started, Liu Jiayuan, the commentator of this game, was still introducing the starting lineups of both sides as usual: "The Longteng team's starting lineup this time is Nie Jiang, Pato and Ben Arfa. This is also the last time Ben Arfa started.
The first game back after injury. He..."
But Liu Jiayuan was forced to interrupt before he finished speaking, because the Longteng team played a high-quality offense, and it was only one minute into the game.
This time, left back Wei Zhimin assisted Lin Feng in the frontcourt, and then Lin Feng passed the ball to Ben Alpha. Ben Alpha made a beautiful pass on the sideline and passed the ball to Nie Jiang who was wandering in the penalty area.
Through smart movement, he got rid of Lang Zheng's defense and hit the crossbar with a beautiful header. The ball flew out of the baseline.
"Oh! Header, oh, crossbar, Nie Jiang's header. Only one minute into the game, the Longteng team almost broke through the gate of Beijing Guoan." Liu Jiayuan exclaimed, "It was a show of strength right after coming up, look.
This match with the Dragons is a must-win."
Nie Jiang, who hit the crossbar with his header, also felt very regretful.
During this period, Nie Jiang has been intensively training in off-the-ball movement under the guidance of the coaching staff. This time, his chance to score was obtained through smart movement, but he did not expect that he was in position and the shot was taken.
The ball hit the crossbar and a great scoring opportunity was missed.
But when Nie Jiang was regretful, Zhang Sheng was applauding him.
After just over a week of intensive training, Nie Jiang has already shown the effects of training. Although the opponent has just started, has not yet entered the game state, and is not very focused, such progress is really huge, and he is worthy of it.
A highly talented striker.
Liu Jiayuan also forgot to introduce the starting lineup, but followed the slow-motion replay of the Dragons' attack and praised Nie Jiang: "Nie Jiang is really a rare talent in Chinese football in recent years. He is only 17 years old.
age, but look at his movement just now. He was still outside the penalty area at first, but as soon as Ben Alpha succeeded in passing, he began to move forward, and there was a fake move before moving forward. He made a move to the left
He made a running motion, but quickly turned around and inserted diagonally to the right to reach the back point. Several Guoan defenders in the penalty area were deceived by him. This is not the performance of a player under 18 years old. This is different from those who have played for a long time.
Not to mention the veteran players.”
The Longteng team's attack also set the tone for this game, which was an all-out attack.
Shortly after Nie Jiang's header hit the crossbar, the Longteng team got another chance to shoot. This time, Tao Wentao and Nie Jiang completed the position change. Nie Jiang attracted the opponent's center back out of the penalty area, and then Pato's right
Lu's pass found Tao Wentao, and Tao Wentao got a chance to shoot in front of the penalty area, but it just missed the goal post.
Liu Jiayuan, who had just introduced several starting players of the Longteng team, had to stop the introduction again and shouted: "Tao Wentao's shot. This shot is of very high quality. It goes straight to the blind spot on the right side of the goal.
It's a pity that maybe he was too focused on the angle and the ball missed slightly. Tao Wentao deserves to be selected for the national team this time."
The fierce attack of the Longteng team at the beginning made Beijing Guoan extremely uncomfortable. Under the high position pressure of the Longteng team players, they were a little unstable in getting the ball in the backcourt. The quality of several consecutive shots was not good, which made the Longteng team
There is an opportunity to continue attacking.
When the game reached the fifth minute, the Longteng team launched another attack. This time it was Lin Feng and Tao Wentao in the middle. They had two consecutive two-on-two cooperation in a small area. Finally, Pato came to take over and added a beautiful stop.
He turned around and got rid of the defense of midfielder Mazic, who had no choice but to pull him down.
The referee came over and decisively showed Mazic a yellow card and gave the Longteng team a very good positioning kick.
Liu Jiayuan said helplessly: "It seems that the Longteng team is not going to give me time to introduce the starting lineups of both sides."
Hong Gang, who was co-commenting this game with Liu Jiayuan, also smiled and said: "It's okay for you, it's been five minutes of the game, and I just answered the call. The Longteng team's attacks were too fierce. Bei.
Jing Guoan's passive defense seems very helpless. Mazic got a yellow card so early, and it will be difficult to play in the following games. He is the most important defensive player in Guoan's midfield. Let's take a look at the free kick of the Longteng team this time.
"
In response to Hong Gang's words, several penalty kick players from the Long Teng team were already standing in front of the football. As before, it was still the free kick and penalty kick combination composed of Lin Feng, Ben Alpha, and Pato.
Because the position of this free kick is about 20 meters away from the goal, and the position is also suitable. It is a little diagonally to the right of the goal. It can be said that the three players who took the free kick have the ability to hit the ball directly into the goal.
Therefore, the players of Beijing Guoan were very nervous when lining up the wall. Everyone was observing each other's positions to prevent missing the goal path.
When the referee blew the whistle for the penalty kick, first Pato made a feint and ran over the ball, then Lin Feng made another assist and ran over the ball, and finally it was Ben Arfa who shot.
The two runs of Pato and Lin Feng had a great impact on Beijing Guoan's wall and goalkeeper Yang Zhi, allowing them to continuously improve their mental concentration. Therefore, when Ben Alpha's ball came out, people were stunned.
The wall became slightly loose, and Yang Zhi's center of gravity was also affected.
Ben Alpha's ball dropped very suddenly after going around the wall. Yang Zhi was not in a hurry to save it and could only watch the ball go into the goal.
The Longteng team got off to a perfect start, scoring a goal to lead the opponent in less than seven minutes.
"Beautiful free kick. Ben Alpha's curve ball is so beautiful." Liu Jiayuan shouted, "It has positional offensive ability and the threat of set kicks! The current play style and personnel configuration of the Longteng team are really too strong.
.”
Hong Gang also nodded and said: "This season's Longteng team is really full of firepower. 39 goals in 12 games, an average of more than 3 goals per game. It is almost the same as Guangzhou Evergrande in the 2012 and 2013 seasons."
"The problem is that their defense is also very good." Liu Jiayuan lamented, "They only conceded 9 goals in 12 rounds of the league. They have the most goals and the fewest goals conceded. The current strength of the Longteng team can be said to be the champion of the Chinese Super League. Look.
Look at Beijing and Guoan, they were overwhelmed from the beginning of such a powerful dialogue."
After scoring the goal, Ben Alpha patted the team emblem on his chest to the fans who were looking up at the sky, and received even more enthusiastic cheers from the fans. Zhang Sheng also happily applauded Ben Alpha.
After scoring the goal, the Longteng team did not slow down the rhythm of the game, but continued the previous tactics, and the intensity of the frontcourt press did not weaken.
Seeing the game state of the Longteng players, Liu Jiayuan joked: "I'd better introduce the starting list as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't have a chance."
After speaking, Liu Jiayuan read the players to the list at a very fast speed, then took a breath and said, "It's finally good, let's watch the game next."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Longteng team's offense came again. This time, Ben Alpha changed his position to the middle to confront Mazic in a targeted manner. It was obvious that Mazic, who was carrying a yellow card, became the breakthrough point of the Longteng team.
It should be said that Madzic's experience is still very rich. When faced with Ben Alpha's breakthrough, no matter how Ben Alpha makes fake moves, he just won't make a move easily.
Ben Alpha shook his center of gravity several times in succession and saw that the opponent was standing very stable before choosing to pass the ball. This reflects Zhang Sheng's success in transforming Ben Alpha. If it were him before, he would definitely not care about anything.
As soon as it started, it continued.
Ben Alpha's passing quality is very good. He inserted the ball into the ribs of Guoan team's right back Zhou Ting and right center back Xu Yunlong. The Longteng team made special arrangements for this position before the game, because these two
The players are very old, so it is inevitable that their speed will slow down, especially when it comes to sudden starts.
And this time the Longteng team did something very smart. Instead of letting Nie Jiang on the left run into the open space, they let Nie Jiang run horizontally to attract their defense, and left back Wei Zhimin quickly made an diagonal pass.
The Longteng team's tactics were very successful this time. Zhou Ting started accelerating almost at the same time as Wei Zhimin, but he was obviously slower in speed and was thrown away by a position.
Liu Jiayuan also saw the threat of the Longteng team's attack this time, and raised his voice and said: "Hitting the ribs of the Guoan center back and full back again. Wei Zhimin is so fast. He is trying to force his way into the penalty area."
But Liu Jiayuan's words soon came to an abrupt end, because Zhou Ting, who was thrown away by Wei Zhimin, made an extremely reckless tackle and even kept the man dribbling the ball.
Hong Gang shook his head and said: "Zhou Ting is still old and can only choose to foul. The Longteng team won another free kick in the frontcourt."
