Paulinho's defense caused huge applause in the Tianhe Stadium.
Duan Xuan also sincerely praised: "Paulinho's defensive coverage is really too wide. A few seconds ago, he was still preparing to participate in the attack in the middle. As soon as Yubo passed the ball, he switched from attack to
The defense was broken, and the tackle after the pursuit was clean, and the Longteng team's excellent counterattack opportunity was just gone."
While fans and commentators were praising Guangzhou Evergrande's successful defense, Zhang Sheng was not discouraged by the interruption in the attack.
Before coming to Guangzhou, Zhang Sheng knew that away games were difficult to play, and the two rounds of games must be prioritized. Guangzhou Evergrande's full attack at their home court was something Zhang Sheng had long expected, and he had to stand firm on defense.
, seeking a counterattack is also an established strategy. This counterattack was the result of Zhang Sheng's tactical arrangement. Although it was ultimately destroyed by Paulinho, the team was on the right path.
This time Guangzhou Evergrande was thanks to Paulinho's desperate pursuit, but he was able to make such key defenses several times. Even if he can guarantee such physical fitness in the first half, can he still guarantee it in the second half? Not to mention the right winger.
Pato hasn't exerted his strength yet.
After Xiao Yunfan threw the foul ball, the Longteng team began to slowly control the ball.
Ball control can be regarded as the most distinctive feature of the Longteng team, especially when they want to control the rhythm, ball control and conduction are the first choice of the Longteng team.
So after a rare chance to get the ball, Guangzhou Evergrande's most annoying situation happened. The Longteng team took advantage of them to attack a point after more than ten minutes, and the previous fast pace was turned into a lukewarm one.
Facing the Long Teng team's constant crossing and back-passing, Guangzhou Evergrande used the pressing tactics arranged before the game.
Evergrande's pressing tactics in this game learned from the lessons learned from the last time they played against Longteng. While focusing on blocking Lin Feng, they also took into account Tao Wentao.
Lin Feng's forward passing route was mainly blocked by Paulinho, while Tao Wentao was simply guarded by Zheng Zhi. Obviously in the last game, Tao Wentao's ability to get rid of the ball after gaining space made Guangzhou Evergrande
The impression was so profound that they might let Lin Feng go as they were not afraid that he would break through with the ball, but they should not take Tao Wentao lightly.
Of course, this is not the only way that the Dragons can achieve their current results. In addition to their strong ball control ability, the change of offensive rhythm is their trump card. Even if Ben Alpha cannot play in this game due to injury, the Dragons'
One variable instrument is missing, but the other big killer, Patok, is still there.
At the 26th minute of the first half, after constant passing in the midfield, the Longteng team's offense suddenly accelerated. This time it was Pato who stood out.
Guangzhou Evergrande also knew that Pato would definitely be the frontcourt hot spot for the Dragons in this game, so they were very close to him. After all, Pato's strength lies in his sudden start. In terms of physical confrontation, he is not
What an advantage it has.
Generally speaking, Guangzhou Evergrande's defense against Pato before this was very successful. Zheng Long and Zou Zheng on the left are both fast and explosive players. After they close to Pato, the latter wants to pass through the speed.
It's really not easy to get rid of.
But Zhang Sheng was also prepared for this before the game.
That is, let Yu Bo take advantage of his good physical fitness and strong body on the left to help Xiao Yunfan return to defense, and let Lin Feng and Tao Wentao come over on the right to attack together.
The Longteng team used this method in their attack this time, and also played a little trick, which was to have Tao Wentao and Pato switch positions.
This temporary change of positions in the frontcourt caused great confusion for Guangzhou Evergrande, because Zheng Long, as the left midfielder, could not follow Pato in the middle.
So when Pato handed the ball to Tao Wentao and walked towards the middle, Zheng Long chose to pass the ball to Pato from Tao Wentao, while Tao Wentao chose to force a breakthrough.
Zheng Long was obviously a little unprepared for Tao Wentao's breakthrough, and was confused by Tao Wentao's fake pass. Tao Wentao made a beautiful pass through the ball and left Zheng Long behind.
By the time he reacted, Tao Wentao had already changed direction and ran wildly along the sideline.
Seeing that Zheng Long was breached, Zou Zheng quickly came over to cover. When Zou Zheng came up, Tao Wentao passed the ball again, and the target of the pass was Pato, who was about to run into the gap behind Zou Zheng.
At this time, Paulinho was still struggling with Lin Feng. The only ones that could pose a threat to Pato were Kim Young-kwon, who came in as a center back, and Zheng Zhi, who came in as a midfielder.
But Pato, who was running faster, changed direction again and accelerated after catching the ball. Pato changed direction again to get away, catching Zheng Zhi and Jin Yingquan off guard, especially Zheng Zhi, who suffered too much in terms of speed compared with Pato, although he tried hard
Although he tried to change direction to block the ball, he was still a step too slow. On the contrary, it affected Jin Yingquan's judgment and allowed Pato to pass through the gap between the two people.
Pato, who broke through the two defenders, dribbled the ball into the penalty area alone.
In the penalty area at this time, Nie Jiang was running horizontally to open up gaps. Feng Xiaoting gritted his teeth and gave up on Nie Jiang to block the angle of Pato's shot. Seeing Feng Xiaoting coming to cover the defense, goalkeeper Zengcheng was slightly relieved.
, gave up the far corner and went to seal the near corner of the goal.
It should be said that the cooperation between the two of them is still very good. At this time, Pato's shooting angle in the near corner and the straight shooting angle in the far corner are gone. All he can do is to find Nie Jiang, and Paulinho has already
He gave up his entanglement with Lin Feng and gave the job to Zheng Long, who had returned to the defense, while he went to defend Nie Jiang.
Pato, who stopped the ball next, faced Feng Xiaoting who was standing in front of him and made an action that all Evergrande players thought was unreasonable - he directly chose to shoot, and he chose the far corner.
Feng Xiaoting stretched out his leg when he saw Pato's shot and wanted to interfere with the flight path of the ball. According to the shooting skills of most domestic players, the ball must go in a straight line, but Pato's shot made the ball go through an extremely beautiful line.
The arc not only bypassed Feng Xiaoting's outstretched leg, but also flew directly to the far post.
At this time, Zengcheng could only give up completely. Watching Pato's shot let the ball fly over, he prayed in his heart that the ball would miss.
It's a pity that Pato's shot was very powerful. Just when it was about to fly out of the goal post, it turned a corner and bounced directly on the inside of the goal post and into the net.
Seeing this goal, Duan Xuan was a little shocked: "Pato quickly accelerated and changed direction to get rid of Evergrande's defense. He entered the penalty area, and Nie Jiang was in the middle. He could cross the ball, oh oh oh! Pato!
Pato shot, beautiful! The arc of the shot was so beautiful that Feng Xiaoting and Zengcheng thought they had blocked all angles, but they still underestimated Pato's shooting skills! The ball went in, such a shot,
What can the goalkeeper do? There is nothing that can be done. This is the ability of top strikers!"
"That's true. Pato's shot reminds me of the Italian star Pirlo. The latter can also hit extremely beautiful curved balls from the flanks of the penalty area, leaving the opponent's defensive players completely helpless." Xu Yang also agreed.
He praised, "Look at the ball shot by Pato. You can't see any rotation in the air. This requires a lot of force to produce, and Pato exerts his force on the spot. Simply speaking of shooting ability, Pato
Tuo is definitely the best in the Chinese Super League."
After Xu Yanggang finished speaking, Duan Xuan also said as if he had become a fan of Pato: "Not only the shooting, but also the change of direction and breakthrough after dribbling the ball at high speed before shooting, shows that he has basically reached the level he once was.
That Pato got."
After listening to Xu Yang's words, Duan Xuan suddenly sighed and said: "A Pato who has returned to the original. If that's true, maybe we won't see many of his games in the Super League."
Xu Yang was very surprised by Duan Xuan's words, but he quickly understood the connotation of Duan Xuan's words. If Pato really returned to his original state and ability, the small pond of the Chinese Super League really couldn't trap him.
, sooner or later he will return to the five major European leagues with a higher level.
The topic of Pato was quickly ignored by the two. After all, it is still in the game, and Pato on the field is now excitedly rushing to the sidelines to interact with the Longteng fans who came from the expedition. At least for now, Pato
Still belongs to the Chinese Super League.
Zhang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, also looked at Pato with a look of relief. From this goal, it can be seen that he has the demeanor of the "golden boy" back then. Maybe he will save the world after he comes to this world.
The first world-class player.
When everyone in the Longteng team was extremely happy, Guangzhou Evergrande seemed a bit depressed at this time. They had not lost a game that allowed the Longteng team to take the lead this season - of course, the Longteng team had only lost one game this season, but
In games where the Longteng team took the lead, the winning rate was as high as 71%. Such terrifying results proved that this team has extremely stable performance and an unexpectedly mature mentality, although most of the players on this team are very young.
.
On the contrary, several games of Guangzhou Evergrande during this period, except for the game against Longteng, all lost the ball first and then reversed. Before the game, a reporter specifically mentioned this issue and asked him what he thought of this way of playing.
When asked about his views, Scolari said: "I hope we play well and win the game. I don't like this kind of game. We have been training not to concede the ball, but this is the way a football game is. There are goals and there are goals conceded."
From Scolari's words, it can be seen that he is also very unhappy with this situation.
Of course, it is not without its benefits. For example, at this time, Zheng Zhi, as the captain, is encouraging everyone: "Don't be discouraged. During this period, we have conceded the ball first. We are not always the final winners. Even if
Last time we played against the Longteng team in an away game, we fell behind but still came back. Today is our home court, as long as we work harder, we can not only come back, but also go ahead, everyone, come on!"
Sometimes players' psychological adjustment is so simple. They only need a reasonable reason, and they can quickly turn from depression to excitement.
After the kick-off again, Guangzhou Evergrande seemed not to be affected by the previous conceding of the ball. The players still played in an orderly manner on the court, and there was no situation like many teams that rush out after conceding the ball.
In the 30th minute, Guangzhou Evergrande, which had been trying hard to score a goal, played a very threatening attack.
This time Huang Bowen and Goulart were playing together on the right again. When Goulart passed the ball to Huang Bowen, and the Longteng players thought they were going to play one-two again, Huang Bowen passed the ball to Goulart.
It was passed to Paulinho, because Roque Gil had already gone to fill the position for Ma Yongli, so the only one guarding Paulinho was Lin Feng. The former used his forced body to resist Lin Feng, and then hit a heavy bombardment from outside the penalty area.
Fortunately, Huang Dawei was very focused. He didn't dare to catch the ball, so he saved the ball out of the baseline with his palm. Guangzhou Evergrande won a corner kick.
Paulinho's long-range shot greatly boosted the morale of Guangzhou Evergrande. Although the ball was saved, Paulinho still applauded vigorously with both hands to cheer for his teammates.
In this corner kick attack, Guangzhou Evergrande also played a trick, which was to let Goulart on the right switch to the left to grab the back point. Instead, Elkson was pulled to the right, preparing to grab the front point.
The Longteng team was a little slow to react this time. Huang Bowen's corner kick was sent to the front post. Because the Longteng team adopted a zone defense tactic, it was not Lu Zhihui who faced Elkeson, but Ma Yongli.
After resisting Ma Yongli with his body, he rubbed the ball to the back point. Goulart's foot speed at the back point was obviously more flexible than Lu Zhihui's, and he pushed the ball directly to the goal before Lu Zhihui's kick.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhou was standing next to the goal post. He blocked Goulart's shot with his belly, and then kicked the ball out of the sideline with a big kick.
Huang Dawei, who had no time to save, happily hugged Zhou Zhou to express his gratitude.
Facing the strong attack of Guangzhou Evergrande, the Longteng team did not have no chance. At the 35th minute of the first half, Pato moved to the middle to help Tao Wentao draw the attention of the defense, and finally passed an extremely powerful kick.
A beautiful ball was given to the opponent. Tao Wentao knocked the ball across the sideline to the middle. Zengcheng punched the ball out, but the ball did not go far and was caught by Nie Jiang in the penalty area.
After receiving the ball, Nie Jiang spiked the ball calmly from the right at the edge of the penalty area, and then shot directly with his left foot. The ball hit Feng Xiaoting and created a break line. As a result, the ball slid slightly backwards.
Zengcheng was so frightened that he couldn't make the save and broke into a cold sweat.
This ball fully demonstrated Nie Jiang's ability to adapt to small spaces and his excellent foot skills.
In the past, most of the shots from both sides were the performance of foreign players. This time it was rare to have a domestic player and a future star with high hopes like Nie Jiang. Duan Xuan quickly gave his praise: "Beautiful. Nie Jiang's shot.
His dunk and shot in the penalty area is definitely the performance of a top shooter."
Xu Yang also praised: "Being able to perform actions calmly in such a small space, his golf intelligence and psychological quality are far beyond anyone's comparison."
Nie Jiang's shot did not make Guangzhou Evergrande give up the idea of attacking. This time the Longteng team did not expand the score but gave them more confidence. Evergrande's offense became more fierce.89
