In this game, Lin Feng, Ma Yongli, and Wei Zhimin all cannot play because they have accumulated four yellow cards. Even among the players who can play this time, Rock Gill, Ben Alpha, Xiao Yunfan, and Lu Zhihui all have three yellow cards. In addition,
There are more players with two yellow cards.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng spent a lot of time thinking about the starting lineup.
Wei Zhimin's position is easy to say, and Zhou Zhou can take his place; Lin Feng has Tao Wentao, Xiong Jian, and even Zhang Hao on his side, but Ma Yongli cannot play, which makes Zhang Sheng more uncomfortable.
As the absolute core of the Longteng team's defense this season, Ma Yongli's role is not only reflected in his stable defense. His commanding ability and ball-playing ability are top-notch in the Chinese Super League, not to mention that he also has a defender who can attack forward.
The ultimate trick.
After Li Yun left the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng has been deliberately trying to make up for the killer move that the Longteng team lost after Li Yun left - the center back assists forward. Ma Yongli spent nearly two years gradually getting better at this aspect.
With improvement, in the last round of the league, it was Ma Yongli's forward assist that scored a goal for the Longteng team.
Now that he can't play, many things in Zhang Sheng's tactics cannot be used.
Zhang Sheng has to feel that Guangzhou Evergrande has been injured so much in the first half of the season and can still maintain its top four position. If his team had so many injuries, it would probably be able to barely avoid relegation now.
Now Zhang Sheng can only let Du Zhenyu come on to replace Ma Yongli. However, Zhang Sheng is very worried about whether Du Zhenyu, who just went to the away game three days ago and played the entire game, can survive this game.
In the end, Zhang Sheng made up for Lin Feng's replacement. Instead of using Tao Wentao as the defensive midfielder and Yao Tian as the attacking midfielder, he used Xiong Jian to directly replace Lin Feng's position. This maximized the
Strengthening the defensive thickness of the midfield will of course also weaken the offensive ability of the Longteng team's midfield.
There are many points of view in this game. In addition to seeing whether Shanghai SIPG can prevent the Longteng team with a incomplete lineup from winning streak, the duel between Nie Jiang and Wu Lei is regarded as the present and future of the Chinese national team's forward line.
of a conversation.
The media has fully covered the career history of both men.
Wu Lei played in China League Two at the age of fourteen and scored a goal. This is the youngest player in the history of Chinese professional football. In the 2012 season, he led the team to the Chinese Super League as the local top scorer in China League One. In the following two years,
, he retained the title of top local scorer in the Chinese Super League.
In international competitions, he defeated Japan in the group stage of the Asian Minor Championship and won the championship. Later, he also scored many goals in the national team.
Although Nie Jiang debuted late, it was mostly because he was restricted by the rules of the Chinese Football Association, otherwise he would not have broken the Chinese Super League reserve team's scoring record.
After officially participating in the professional league, Nie Jiang broke the record of the youngest goal scorer in China's AFC Champions League. Now his 4 league goals are only one less than Wu Lei.
At the same time, in the international arena, he also defeated the Korean team in the Asian Youth Championship to help the team win the championship. His performance was on par with Wu Lei. The national team coach Perlan also said that he is paying close attention to him and is ready to recruit him to the national team at any time.
Team.
This contrast has become a major highlight of this game.
Wu Lei reflected the attitude a senior should have before the game. He said in an interview: "Nie Jiang is a super talented forward. You can't underestimate him just because he is young. I am looking forward to playing against him."
."
Nie Jiang also acted very modestly: "Wu Lei is the local top scorer in the Chinese Super League for two consecutive seasons. I am still young and still have a lot to learn, but I will not waste the opportunity to play against him."
When the game officially started, Nie Jiang fulfilled his promise and performed very well.
Of course, this is due to the support of the Longteng team's strong midfield.
Only four minutes into the game, the Longteng team forced Shanghai SIPG to foul and won a free kick in the frontcourt. It was Nie Jiang who made the contribution this time.
This time the Longteng team's offense came from a breakthrough on the right.
After the game started, the Longteng team did a good job of pressing Shanghai SIPG. Although Conca was very strong, he seemed a little helpless in the frontcourt. After receiving the ball barely passed by Dawei, he stopped the ball well.
Not stable.
Roque Gil intercepted the ball from fellow countryman Konka, and then decisively passed the ball to Xiao Yunfan, who came forward with an assist from the right.
In the last round of the league, Xiao Yunfan was in a very awkward position due to being heavily attacked, and was replaced midway. In this game, he held his breath and had to perform, so he played very actively in assists.
After receiving the pass from Rock Gill, Xiao Yunfan used his speed advantage to eat up the opponent's veteran left back Sun Xiang, and then passed the ball before Sun Xiang could slide.
At this time, Pato had taken away the opponent's midfielder Cai Huikang. Nie Jiang, who came out of the penalty area to connect, got an opportunity to be guarded by no one. Seeing this situation, the other midfielder Dawei could only use Nie Jiang's
Someone came up from behind and tripped him up.
Although the referee was merciful and did not show a yellow card, a perfectly placed free kick still could not be escaped.
The Longteng team's continuous offensive after the start had forced Shanghai SIPG to resort to foul tactics.
After the Longteng team cooperated with the free kick, Ben Alpha took the ball. The quality of the penalty was very good, but Shanghai SIPG goalkeeper Yan Junling also made a very beautiful save. He used his fingertips to get the ball away.
Crossbar, try to keep your own goal.
Duan Xuan and Zhou Ning of CCTV are responsible for explaining this focus battle.
Regarding the free kick from the Long Teng team, Duan Xuan believed that it was inevitable: "Shanghai SIPG was oppressed too much. The ball was not under his feet, and he could not fall up under his feet. He would definitely suffer. Just now, Dawei should have said that it was the main goal.
The referee gave me a break, otherwise the next game will be more difficult."
Zhou Ning admired Nie Jiang's movement very much: "Nie Jiang's movement was too smart. When Xiao Yunfan was still getting the ball, he was still in the penalty area. As soon as he saw Xiao Yunfan starting to break through, he first pretended
He rushed forward to grab the point, but then made a circle and returned to the outside of the penalty area to receive the ball. The opponent completely let him go."
Next, Ben Alpha's corner kick was steadily confiscated by Yan Junling. Seeing that his teammates were being forced hard on the court, he originally wanted to give the ball to the defenders for a positional attack, but he had to kick the ball away with a big kick.
In the frontcourt, look for Evra, hoping to use his speed to hit the Dragons' backside.
However, the headers of Roque Gil and Lin Feng prevented Evra from hitting the ball. In the end, Roque Gil headed back and handed the ball back to center back Lu Zhihui. Shanghai SIPG changed hands again.
.
After gaining the ball, the Longteng team once again organized an attack, this time the direction of the attack became the left wing.
Although the left back in this game was Zhou Zhou, who was not very good at assisting, but now the Longteng team completely suppressed the opponent, and even Zhou Zhou tried to press forward.
After receiving the pass from Xiong Jian, he directly made a move with Ben Alpha similar to a basketball pick-and-roll. Ben Alpha leaned on the opponent's defensive player, and Zhou Zhou took the ball through the space next to him.
past.
Seeing Zhou Zhou's assist, Cai Huikang quickly ran over to help full-back Wang Shenchao defend. However, just as Cai Huikang came over, Zhou Zhou passed the ball. He passed the ball to the area vacated after Cai Huikang left. By this time, Xiong Jian had already run away.
Got to this location.
After receiving the ball, Xiong Jian did not continue to dribble. Facing Dawei who came to replace him, he passed the ball out again. The person who came to respond was Nie Jiang. At the same time, following Nie Jiang was the central defender who was taken out of the penalty area.
Kim Joo Young.
As a member of the South Korean national team, Kim Joo Young has his own advantages. First of all, his physical fitness is considered top-notch in the entire Asia. When he faced Muric at his peak in the AFC Champions League, he could compete with the opponent for 40 meters.
He can run in a straight line without being left behind, and is known as the fastest central defender in Asia. At the same time, in terms of strength, when facing Guangzhou Evergrande's Elkeson, he was able to use his body to resist the opponent, which shows that he
physical strength.
Because he has such excellent physical fitness, he is usually assigned to grab the ball, which can not only ensure the success rate of the ball, but also ensure that he can quickly catch up when he cannot grab the ball.
In this game, Eriksson arranged for him to keep an eye on Nie Jiang. He followed Nie Jiang very well this time. As soon as Nie Jiang came out of the penalty area to receive Xiong Jian's pass, he blocked Nie Jiang.
Don't let him break through easily.
However, Nie Jiang is not the kind of player who is obsessed with breakthroughs. Facing Xiong Jian's pass, he made an action that Jin Zhourong didn't expect at all. That is, he didn't touch the ball at all and just feinted a shot.
The ball slipped past his feet.
The place that missed him was Pato who rushed there in a hurry.
Duan Xuan was also surprised by Nie Jiang's leak: "The Long Teng team passed the ball down continuously, Zhou Zhou, he handed it to Xiong Jian, this was a successful two-over-three cooperation, Xiong Jian didn't stay much, and kicked directly
The pass was passed, Nie Jiang came to respond, Nie Jiang..., hey, he didn't catch the ball, he missed it, followed by Pato, Pato shot. Yan Junling made a beautiful save, a beautiful save, the ball was so far away from Yan Junling
Far away, he unexpectedly hit the Longteng team's corner kick with a side kick. In this attack, although the continuous passing is the essence of the Longteng team, Nie Jiang's leak was really unexpected. This player's football intelligence is really good.
."
Zhou Ning also wanted to applaud Nie Jiang for this genius stroke: "Indeed. In terms of physical fitness, he is too young now and may not be able to compare with Jin Zhourong, but this omission completely makes up for his physical deficiencies, making Jin Zhourong's
It was useless to grab the ball, and Pato's shooting route was right in the gap exposed by Kim Zhou Young after leaving the penalty area. This kid is incredible. If he can train his body better, there will be no problem in playing football in Europe."
Duan Xuan praised Zhou Ning at the right time: "Director Zhou, when you were playing in Germany, were there many people of Nie Jiang's age who were at this level?"
Zhou Ning seemed very modest: "I don't know anything else. Anyway, when I was 17 years old, I didn't have his ability. At least when I was in Germany, I didn't see him playing so well at such a young age."
Within the first eight minutes, the Longteng team got two excellent shooting opportunities and two corner kicks in a row. Such pressure made Shanghai SIPG extremely passive.
Seeing the situation on the court, Eriksen did not let the team start to retreat. Instead, he waved his hand and asked several players in the frontcourt to start pressing high.
It should be said that his move was very effective.
Ma Yongli's yellow card suspension means that the Longteng team now lacks a player with strong ball-taking and passing abilities in the central defender. In the past, the Longteng team always chose to use Ma Yongli as the center to make quick moves when faced with the opponent's high-position press.
When passing the ball down, the latter can always use his footwork to make the opponent's pressing players return without success.
But now it doesn't work anymore. Lu Zhihui is a little better. He can move the ball out under the opponent's pressure. Du Zhenyu is a little behind in this aspect. Rock Gill, who is responsible for the connection between the defense and midfield, has to move to the back line.
, to receive the pass from the defense.
The recycling of Roque Gil has accordingly lengthened the distance between the Dragons' midfielders, and at the same time, Conca, who is the core of Shanghai SIPG, has also gained more room for movement.
With Conca becoming more active, Shanghai SIPG's offense gradually improved, especially on their left.
Eriksson obviously also carefully analyzed the match between the Dragons and Shanghai Shenhua. Although the Dragons' right back Xiao Yunfan is very capable of assisting, his frequent attack and failure to come back has become a big loophole for the Dragons.
And when it comes to defense alone, his level compared to those of other Asian and foreign defenders is slightly lacking.
Shanghai SIPG used Evra's impact on the left to frequently hit Xiao Yunfan behind. Although the Longteng team's offside tactics caused Evra to be offside several times in a row, once a mistake was made, it would be devastating.
Sexual, not to mention that SIPG has a passing master like Konka.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng made an adjustment, that is, letting Zhou Zhou go to the right and Xiao Yunfan to the left.
This position change reflects a unique advantage of Zhou Zhou and Xiao Yunfan, that is, their left and right foot abilities are relatively balanced, and both can play as both left back and right back.
The players opposite SIPG do not have this advantage. Wu Lei is slightly better. He is a rare player in China who has a balanced left and right foot. Evra is not good. His main foot is his right foot and he can be more effective on the left.
After cutting inside well, he can choose to pass or shoot, but when he reaches the right wing, he only has to cross from the bottom. And compared to Wu Lei, he has a disadvantage in that he has to switch to his right foot whether he is passing or shooting.
If you don't operate it, the speed of attack will be reduced a lot, which is a big disadvantage on a football field where opportunities are fleeting.
When Zhou Zhou and Xiao Yunfan changed positions, Evra misfired against Zhou Zhou's defense, and Xiao Yunfan started to play vigorously again after moving to the left.
Shanghai SIPG's slightly improved offense was suppressed again, and the Longteng team once again took over the game.
