Bai Shengcai's analysis of Zhang Sheng's change in tactics just now was quite accurate.
In order to strengthen the defense in the middle, Jeonbuk Hyundai changed from the attack-oriented 4-1-4-1 to a more balanced 4-2-3-1, which indeed made it more difficult for the Longteng team to penetrate the middle.
, his team's offense used the two wings to frequently threaten, but Zhang Sheng's forward-less formation quickly reversed the situation.
Because first of all, the 4-2-3-1 formation has high requirements for full-backs. The two full-backs must participate in the attack along the wings. Jeonbuk Hyundai’s two full-backs, whether it is Park Jae-won on the left or Kim Ki-hee on the right,
They are not the kind of players who can provide strong assists. They focus more on defense, causing a disconnect between the full-backs and the midfielder.
Secondly, when defending in the 4-2-3-1 formation, players must stand in their own positions, guard their own areas, and do not run around or help teammates to defend at will. Nie Jiang's single-point breakthrough ability is too threatening to the wing.
It was so huge that Jeonbuk Hyundai’s defensive midfielders had to help defend the wing.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng purposefully used the two wing players to play behind Jeonbuk Hyundai's two wingers, thus forcing the opponent's two defensive midfielders to fill in for the wingers. Jeonbuk Hyundai's newly stabilized midfield space
The file was exposed again.
The Longteng team's goal just now came from the middle, and Zhang Sheng's tactics worked.
This goal of the Longteng team can be said to have completely defeated Jeonbuk Hyundai's confidence, because after showing their defensive tenacity to them, the Longteng team once again showed off the top offensive combination in Asia.
Unable to attack and unable to defend, Jeonbuk Hyundai has gradually reached the edge of collapse, and more serious problems are coming one after another. Jeonbuk Hyundai's players have physical problems.
In the first half, Jeonbuk Hyundai spent far more running distance than the Longteng team, and finally managed to achieve a balance with the opponent.
In the second half, the consecutive waves of offensives in the opening gave the Jeonbuk Hyundai players great confidence. Although Lee Tongguo's missed opportunity did not score, it made the Jeonbuk Hyundai players believe that they could win as long as they work harder.
Can even the score.
However, after nearly thirty minutes of fruitless offensive, they did not score a goal. Instead, they allowed the opponent to play an extremely beautiful attack. Being two goals behind allowed them to let out the breath they had been holding in.
After losing the ball, the Jeonbuk Hyundai players looked extremely confused. Cui Zhechun, who had been chasing Tao Wentao just now, sat down on the ground a little decadently. He looked at the Longteng players celebrating. As the starting defensive midfielder, he
I am really too tired.
Seeing the situation on the field, Cui Kangxi shouted loudly to the players, asking them to work harder and score a goal.
As the captain, Kwon Soon-tae is also encouraging his teammates: "Don't be discouraged, we are just two goals behind. We still have a chance. We are warriors of the Republic of Korea. This is our home court. Defeat them!"
"
And Cui Kangxi quickly made another adjustment. He played his last card at this time and replaced left back Park Jae-won with Spanish foreign aid center Urco Vela, who was transferred during the break.
Urco Vela was introduced from Mirandis in Segunda División during the break of Jeonbuk Hyundai. This Bacchus player is 1.90 meters tall and weighs 82 kilograms. He is considered a very strong center.
players.
As a replacement for Edu who was poached by the Chinese League One team Hebei China Fortune, Cui Kangxi placed great hopes on him.
In Cui Kangxi's tactical system, the forward line needs a center who can grab points, protect the ball, and return the ball. Urco Vela's physical condition seems to be the perfect choice for Cui Kangxi's tactics.
But Urco Vela soon exposed his shortcomings. First of all, his ability to grab points in the penalty area is very average. In addition, as a Spanish player, his foot skills are too "un-Spanish", and in
The scheduling and ball-making ability required by Cui Kangxi are too simple, which means that he is an outdated center forward.
After several K-League games, Cui Kangxi completely gave up on him, otherwise he would not have made Urco Vela sit on the bench in such an important game against the Dragons.
Historically, Urco Vela was abandoned by Cui Kangxi after playing as a substitute for Jeonbuk Hyundai for one season. After Urco Vela returned to Segunda División and joined Osasula, he only served as the main player for one season.
He only scored two goals and his contract was terminated by Osasula, which shows that his ability is average.
Now Cui Kangxi replaced full-back Park Jae-won with Urco Vela. It was clear that he wanted him to take Li Tongguo's position on the front line, and at the same time let Li Tongguo retreat and then score the goal.
In fact, this was Cui Kangxi's helpless move.
After Edu left, Li Tongguo was pushed to the center position by Cui Kangxi. Every time in the first half, Li Tongguo played a supporting role in the center position, whether it was a header, a ball, or even a ball.
Li Tongguo's coordination and organization after getting the ball, as long as his physical fitness allows, is still the top in Asia.
But in the second half, due to lack of physical fitness, Li Tongguo will not participate more in the first point of the battle for the top in the second half of the game, and will let Urco Vela take the lead, because Li Tongguo in the second half is no longer the same as before.
Yong, his role is more suitable for a substitute charge. It would be too idealistic to expect a 36-year-old veteran to carry the team's offensive banner on both lines in a Jeonbuk Hyundai team that emphasizes running and confrontation.
This is also the reason why Cui Kangxi spent a very high price to buy South Korea's new international high center forward Kim Shin-woo, who is nearly two meters tall, in the 2016 season, because Urco Vela has no role in the K-League, let alone the AFC Champions League.
This is a level of competition.
Now Cui Kangxi is going to him just because he wants to have a fight.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of overall strength, the team's low morale, and physical limitations, Jeonbuk Hyundai's desperate tactics of three defenders did not yield any offensive gains, but instead caused problems in the defense.
In the 41st minute of the second half, Urco Vela failed to get past Lu Zhihui in the penalty area. The latter's header went to Roque Gil, who was protecting him in front of the penalty area. Roque Gil faced him after getting the ball.
Luis Enrique easily passed the ball and then passed the ball beautifully to Xiao Yunfan, who came in from the full-back to assist.
Xiao Yunfan's assist made Jeonbuk Hyundai's temporary defensive system at a loss. He used his physical fitness, which was far better than Jeonbuk Hyundai's players, to sprint to the opponent's bottom line under the cover of Tao Wentao and Ben Alpha. Then he made a cross
The ball accurately found Ben Alpha who inserted into the penalty area.
Ben Arfa took advantage of Jeonbuk Hyundai's temporary three-back system with unclear positions and successfully grabbed the point. His volley in the penalty area turned the score into 0:3.
He Wei praised Ben Alfa’s highly entertaining goal: “Ben Alfa’s volley was so beautiful. Even the two center backs of Jeonbuk Hyundai didn’t focus on him.
Leaving people out is too low-level."
"Maybe it's because I'm too unfamiliar with the three-back system." Xu Yang analyzed, "Jeonbuk Hyundai rarely uses this formation. Now in order to increase the number of people in the frontcourt, a full-back is removed and a high-ranking one is added.
Once the center fails to attack, the possibility of conceding the ball is infinitely magnified."
"I think Jeonbuk Hyundai's players can hardly run anymore. They have already replaced three players. The Longteng team has not replaced anyone yet." He Wei pointed out the biggest problem of Jeonbuk Hyundai, "This is simply unbelievable.
The physical fitness of the Korean team has always been a strong point, and Jeonbuk Hyundai's toughness is one of the best in the K-League. Now they can't run anymore. Just now Xiao Yunfan went all the way, and the opponent couldn't withstand it at all."
Xu Yang said proudly: "That's because the players of the Longteng team have better skills and more advanced playing styles. They use technology and tactics to consume the opponent's physical energy. I think this should be imitated by all our Chinese Super League teams.
place."
While the Chinese commentators were boasting easily, the Korean commentators couldn't help but think of the fear of being dominated by Guangzhou Evergrande at their home court in the 2012 season. In that game, Guangzhou Evergrande slaughtered the entire team with a score of 1:5.
Buk Hyundai, after the game, all the players of Jeonbuk Hyundai kneeled down in the locker room to apologize.
"Is this another Guangzhou Evergrande team?" Park Wencheng murmured to himself, "This team is too strong, with all national-level local players, coupled with the top foreign players in Asia, Asia's football team
How can the team compete with them?"
Bai Shengcai said very calmly: "They are stronger than Guangzhou Evergrande. You must know that they are 14 points ahead of Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese Super League. This is a completely crushing advantage."
"Yesterday in the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Evergrande defeated Kashiwa Reysol 3:1 in the away game. But in the league, they were suppressed like that by the Dragons." Park Wencheng said painfully, "Look at the Chinese Super League.
Other teams' foreign players are already among the best in Asia. Given time, it is very possible that the Chinese Super League will lead the Asian leagues. The growth of the Chinese national team is also a high probability event. Perhaps the pattern of Asian football will change in the near future.
There will be earth-shaking changes.”
"During the break, when a team from the Chinese League One was able to poach our main center, we should have thought that there would be such a day in the AFC Champions League." Bai Shengcai also looked lonely.
At this time, many Jeonbuk Hyundai fans in the stands began to leave early.
The Jeonbuk Hyundai players on the field were also a little angry at this time. They started kicking people more than kicking the ball. In just three minutes, Pato, Ben Arfa, Lin Feng, Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao were like this.
The key players were felled to the field like trees by Jeonbuk Hyundai players. Even if they received two yellow cards, they did not hesitate.
This performance is the same as when Jeonbuk Hyundai fell behind Guangzhou Evergrande 1:5.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng quickly made a substitution. It would be uneconomical if a player was injured.
He took advantage of several dead ball opportunities and replaced Lin Feng and Nie Jiang. Qi Ming and Zou Weijia were replaced, continuing to maintain pressure in the midfield and frontcourt. In the stoppage time of the game, even though Zhang Sheng replaced Ma Yongli with Li Ming,
The Longteng team still relied on better physical fitness to suppress Jeonbuk Hyundai.
At least judging from the situation on the field, Jeonbuk Hyundai has no hope of scoring a goal.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Longteng team won the away game 0:3. The players walked hand in hand to the stands where the fans of the Longteng team who were on an expedition to South Korea and the local Korean students and workers gathered to give these fans a warm welcome.
The fans who gave their full support to the team in a foreign country bowed in greeting.
These fans were also blushing and applauding the players selflessly. What could make the fans happier than a game like this?
The disparity in the score of this game also made the press conference after the game the focus of attention from all parties.
As usual, the first person to be interviewed was the head coach of the visiting team. When Zhang Sheng led Lin Feng to the podium of the press conference, the flashlights of countless reporters turned the scene as bright as day.
First, a Chinese reporter asked Zhang Sheng: "First of all, congratulations to Coach Zhang. Your team won the victory with an undisputed performance. Did you make any special preparations before the game?"
Zhang Sheng replied happily: "Indeed, Jeonbuk Hyundai is a very strong team. Our coaching staff discussed the preparations for this game before the game. This is a victory for the team. At the same time, the boys on the team also
I put forth my best efforts and was able to defeat my opponent. My coaching staff and players feel that their efforts have been rewarded."
Next, when many reporters mentioned the 5:1 score of Guangzhou Evergrande and wanted to take the lead in demoting Zhang Sheng to Jeonbuk Hyundai, Zhang Sheng did not fall into the trap. The game was already won and he was promoted to the AFC Champions League.
It’s just around the corner. Is it necessary to harm others to highlight yourself?
The score of the game said it all.
In the subsequent interview with the home team, Cui Kangxi had a gloomy face. When the Chinese reporter mentioned the score with Guangzhou Evergrande, Cui Kangxi exploded: "These are two completely unrelated games, two rival teams.
It’s different, and the head coaches of the two games are also different (it was Cui Kangxi’s assistant coach Li Xingshi who directed the game against Guangzhou Evergrande. At that time, Cui Kangxi was invited by the Korean Football Association to lead the Korean national team.) He even participated in two games.
A lot of players in the game are different and I don't know what the point of you asking such a question is."
When answering questions from Korean reporters, Cui Kangxi seemed very apologetic: "I'm very sorry for losing the game. After conceding the ball first, we played too hastily and did very poorly both offensively and defensively.
The opponent's players are very strong. Whether they are foreign players or local Chinese players, they are all top players in Asia. It is my responsibility not to make adequate preparations before the game, and I will bear all the consequences."
After this game, the media and fans in China and South Korea made heated comments.
