At the beginning of the second half, everyone noticed Guangzhou Evergrande's substitutions and tactical adjustments, because Gao Lin and Robinho retreated very deep, and Goulart often ran to the midfield to defend. In addition, Paulinho's
Interception and protection, the Longteng team completely lost the initiative in the middle of the midfield.
When Guangzhou Evergrande had the tactical advantage in the middle, their offense also produced corresponding results.
In the eighth minute of the second half, Gao Lin withdrew from the center position and played the ball in the midfield. He leaned on Longteng midfielder Rock Gill and received Goulart's pass.
With Roque Gill constantly interfering from behind, Gao Lin got the ball very steadily.
As a forward, Gao Lin can be said to have had bad luck this season. In the early and middle stages of the league, Guangzhou Evergrande suffered from a lot of injuries, and for a time there was no one available on the forward line.
At this time Gao Lin stood up.
The data of twelve goals in twenty games is extremely dazzling. Gao Lin almost single-handedly led half of the Evergrande team to cling to the league championship group.
But just like in history, the "slap in the face" incident still happened as scheduled, and the five-game suspension that followed stopped him like a bomber that had made an emergency landing.
This crucial battle against the Dragons was Gao Lin's first official game after his five-game suspension.
But now when the team's foreign players have joined one after another and Gao Lin can only serve as a support, he has shown the abilities that a tactical center should have.
Under the interference of the Longteng team players, he firmly held the ball, and then passed the ball beautifully to Goulart who came over to respond.
Although the shortage of personnel at the beginning of the season caused Guangzhou Evergrande to suffer a lot, on the other hand, it also allowed Gao Lin and Goulart to work together for a long time to lay a good foundation for cooperation.
This time Gaolin and Goulart showed an extremely tacit understanding. Goulart started running as soon as he passed the ball to Gaolin, and the first point Gaolin looked for after receiving the ball was also Goulart.
After receiving the pass from Gao Lin, Goulart faced Lin Feng who was following him and pushed it to Robinho on the left. The latter became smarter now. He knew that Scolari was obsessed with him.
The passer was very dissatisfied, so he made a fake move of riding a bicycle and then passed the ball.
Zhou Zhou, who was defending Robinho, had no idea that Robinho, who had stepped on his bicycle twice in a row, would suddenly send a beautiful pass, but by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
Gao Lin got rid of Roque Gil the moment Robinho passed the ball. His forward thrust attracted the attention of most of the Longteng team's defensive players. Roque Gil immediately followed Gao Lin. Lin Feng wanted to
To cut off the passing line between Gao Lin and Goulart, center backs Ma Yongli and Lu Zhihui, one ran out to grab the ball, while the other observed Gao Lin's shooting line and defended his sudden long shot.
But at this time, all the players of the Longteng team ignored one person-Paulinho.
Gaulin's response to Robinho's pass was completely a pretense. Just on the trajectory of the ball, he suddenly made a leak and let the ball pass through his feet.
When Roque Gill thought Gao Lin made a low-level mistake and didn't get the ball, the football rolled past Gao Lin and was taken by Paulinho who came forward.
After Paulinho got the ball, he didn't make any adjustments and just hit the goal hard.
Because the defensive focus of the Longteng players was on Gao Lin, when Paulinho shot, everyone was a little unprepared, including goalkeeper Huang Dawei.
When Paulinho's ball passed Lu Zhihui's outstretched leg and went straight to the upper corner of the goal, Huang Dawei started to leap to save.
But Paulinho's shot was so powerful that Huang Dawei, who was a little slower to react, could save it. Even if Huang Dawei concentrated on guarding Paulinho's shot, he might not be successful, let alone now.
After the football passed Lu Zhihui, it once again passed the palm of Huang Dawei's saving hand and penetrated into the Longteng team's goal.
After Guangzhou Evergrande made tactical adjustments, they immediately scored and they equalized the score in the away game.
Seeing this goal, Duan Xuan was full of praise for Paulinho: "Paulinho's shot! Beautiful! It's a violent bird. This shot is so powerful and heavy that Huang Dawei has no way to do it."
Xu Yang also praised: "Paulinho's level is definitely at the highest level in the Chinese Super League. He is the interceptor in the midfield and he is the one who shoots the final shot. He is also a B2B type midfielder. Lin Feng is the top player of the same type in the country.
, the gap is obvious.”
This goal not only proved Guangzhou Evergrande's strength in the middle of the midfield, but also reflected Scolari's true level as a top coach. Of course, Paulinho once again played the key role.
After scoring the goal, Paulinho rushed to Scolari's side and hugged him tightly.
Paulinho has been very depressed since he couldn't play for Tottenham. Fortunately, Scolari has given him great trust, not only bringing him from Tottenham to the Chinese Super League, but also letting Guangzhou Evergrande use Paulinho to
Neo established the tactics for the core.
Relieving Scolari's worries is the biggest reward Paulinho can give.
Seeing Paulinho's goal, Zhang Sheng had to shake his head. This is a world-class star. When he regains his confidence, it is when his opponent is unlucky.
Zhang Sheng originally thought that he valued his role enough, but he didn't expect that Paulinho would score at the critical moment.
At the same time, Zhang Sheng began to reflect on his own tactical flaws.
Scolari's tactics are nothing more than to attack the middle, taking advantage of Lin Feng's weakness of both defending and scoring goals to hit the gap after Lin Feng leaves. Then he is nothing more than making the opponent's move ineffective.
After kicking off again, Zhang Sheng first made personnel adjustments. Wei Zhimin, who had stronger wing attack ability, came on to replace Zhou Zhou. Then he also made adjustments to his tactics. He asked Roque Gill to withdraw deeper, and added the following
The waist protects the front edge of the penalty area, but at the same time pushes Ma Yongli and Lu Zhihui to both sides to protect the full-backs. At the same time, Wei Zhimin and Xiao Yunfan use the depth of the full-backs to press forward and become wingers, changing the attacking posture to a strategy of three defenders and two wingers, attacking points
Instead, two wide players were used to attack Evergrande's full-backs, especially Zou Zheng on the left.
Zhang Sheng completely strengthened his advantage on the wing, changing his main attack direction from the sides of the top of the arc protected by Evergrande's heavy troops to the sides of the penalty area, launching a real wing attack.
At the 13th minute of the second half, Guangzhou Evergrande wanted to attack the Longteng team in the middle, but the intensive defense in the middle by Rock Gill, Ma Yongli, Lu Zhihui and Lin Feng made them unsuccessful.
After Rock Gill intercepted Goulart's pass, he passed the ball forward to Lin Feng. Lin Feng slightly deviated from the center of the midfield this time and cooperated with his teammates on the right.
After Wei Zhimin came on the field, Xiao Yunfan moved from the left back position to the right back position. The difference between him and Zhou Zhou became clear. Although Robinho actively defended, his offensive ability was far beyond that of Zhou Zhou.
, and since he only came on the field in the second half and was full of physical energy, he just used his speed to overpower Robinho.
When Robinho fails to defend well, Zou Zheng behind him is in danger.
Facing Xiao Yunfan's impact, Zou Zheng could only retreat step by step, but the Longteng team's attack on the wing included not only wingers, but also forwards like Pato.
Zou was able to block Xiao Yunfan's pass line, but he could not block the connection between Xiao Yunfan, Lin Feng and Pato.
After Xiao Yunfan pretended to accelerate, he handed the ball to Lin Feng. After receiving the ball, Lin Feng did not stop the ball but directly made a wall-hitting pass.
Because players including Paulinho and Zheng Zhi came to the left to defend, Guangzhou Evergrande's defense in the penalty area was not tight at this time.
The collision between Lin Feng and Xiao Yunfan directly penetrated Guangzhou Evergrande's left wing. When Xiao Yunfan stepped in to get the ball, Guangzhou Evergrande's defensive line gathered in front of the penalty area.
When Evergrande's defensive players began to retreat to the small penalty area to block Xiao Yunfan's pass, the latter cleverly passed an inverted triangle pass. At this time, Tao Wentao in the center of the penalty area had already successfully moved.
Responding to Xiao Yunfan's pass, he pushed the ball decisively.
It should be said that Tao Wentao's shot is still very threatening, but Zengcheng once again proved with practical actions why he is the number one goalkeeper in the country.
Facing Tao Wentao's shot, Zengcheng's waist seemed to be equipped with a spring, and the extremely fast ball was dragged out of the crossbar with his palms while jumping backwards.
This attack of the Longteng team once again gave Guangzhou Evergrande a huge impact. Zhang Sheng's tactics were very clear, which was to make the gap behind Guangzhou Evergrande's defense become Evergrande's lifeline.
Duan Xuan also said with regret: "This is the fourth time the Longteng team has been threatened by a machine tool."
Xu Yang mentioned more about the tactical level: "The Longteng team's offense is indeed very flexible. Let's take a look at their offensive tactics this time."
While watching the slow-motion replay, Xu Yang explained: "This time the Longteng team's formation has obviously changed. The previous four-back system has evolved into a system similar to three central defenders and five defenders, except that Roark Gilby
The central defender of the three central defenders should be slightly earlier. This change has made the Longteng team's central defense more layered, and the two full-backs have completely become wingers. This is why coach Zhang Sheng wants to
The reason why Wei Zhimin has better assist ability."
"This should be said to be the game with the highest tactical content in the Chinese Super League this season." Duan Xuan also asserted, "Guangzhou Evergrande has undergone two formation adjustments, and the Longteng team has made three tactical changes."
"Of course." Xu Yang also sighed, "These two teams have the most international players and the top foreign players in the Chinese Super League, and both coaches have proven themselves to be high-level coaches. Usually this
The two teams can crush their opponents relying on their strength. Now when they meet together, it depends on whose tactics are stronger and whose execution is stronger. If there are more teams like this in the Chinese Super League, the overall strength will be greatly improved.
Big improvement.”
Shortly after the Longteng team's attack failed, Guangzhou Evergrande once again made substitution adjustments. "Little Bear" Elkerson, who returned from injury, replaced Robinney who did not help much offensively and contributed little defensively.
profound.
Elkerson's appearance greatly improved Guangzhou Evergrande's frontcourt impact and enriched their offensive tactics. At the same time, he also used tireless running to start active defense from the first line of defense - the frontcourt.
.
Scolari's substitution once again moved the situation towards a more balanced direction.
As the game progressed, the two teams that focused more on defense seemed to make the game meaningless.
However, when the game passed thirty minutes into the second half, the biggest difference between the two teams finally emerged. While the players of the Longteng team were still walking like flying, the players of the Guangzhou Evergrande team had reached their physical limit.
The most obvious one is Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi, who has played all the games in the Chinese Super League, AFC Champions League and even the national team, is 35 years old after all. Although he does not seem to be conspicuous in this game, insiders know that Zheng Zhi plays in Guangzhou Evergrande.
It played a huge role in tactics.
Zheng Zhi used his non-stop running, large-scale interceptions and steals to make Guangzhou Evergrande's mid-range attack flourish. The reason why Paulinho was able to rush up to attack without any scruples was because of Zheng Zhi's protection from behind.
Not irrelevant.
However, Zheng Zhi's physical fitness was insufficient at this time.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, the Longteng team continued to pose threats on the wing. This time it was Ben Alpha's turn to attack Guangzhou Evergrande's right defense.
And it was Lin Feng who played the role of linking and assisting. In the previous seventy or eighty minutes, Lin Feng's holding of the ball in the middle was interfered by Zheng Zhi. Every time Lin Feng took the ball, Zheng Zhi would direct his teammates to encircle and suppress them.
Cutting off Lin Feng's passing line, he went up to interfere with Lin Feng, preventing Lin Feng, who was good at passing the ball, from sorting out the offense. Therefore, after this game, Lin Feng's shining points were extremely few.
But this time Zheng Zhi made a mistake in defense. Facing Lin Feng's ball, Zheng Zhi came up to defend and intercept at the wrong time. After Lin Feng adjusted comfortably, he came up to defend.
In such a high-level competition, slacking off for less than a second may lead to catastrophe, not to mention that Zheng Zhi was at least one beat slower this time.
When Zheng Zhi came up, Lin Feng had already completed the adjustment and passed the ball out.
Because Lin Feng was very comfortable when passing the ball, Ben Alpha was very comfortable with Lin Feng's ball. Lin Feng's pass happened to be when Ben Alpha picked up his speed, and the power of the pass was also slightly ahead of the ball's position.
After Ben Alpha started, he was just in a position to hold the ball.
Ben Alpha got the ball comfortably and started dribbling the ball at high speed. His rushing style of kicking made Guangzhou Evergrande’s right back Li Xuepeng extremely passive. Just when Ben Alpha dribbled the ball at high speed,
Wei Zhimin, who was assisting in the back row, had already stepped in. At the same time, Lin Feng also used his better physical fitness to get rid of Zheng Zhi, who failed to grab the ball, leaving Zheng Zhi behind.
The Longteng team's previous attack on the right seemed to be happening again.
