Pato's goal made Shandong Luneng use the trick they had prepared before the game - frequent fouls.
In the following games, the football match on the field basically turned into a wrestling competition. Once the Longteng team started to attack or counterattack, Shandong Luneng's players immediately started to use their hands and feet, trying to defeat the organizers of the offense.
turn.
When Shandong Luneng first committed a foul, the referee did not give a timely warning or yellow card penalty. As a result, the two sides became more and more angry. By the time he started to play cards, there were already more retaliatory actions on the field.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Wu Xinghan, who had continuously fouled Chavez, received a retaliatory foul from Chavez, and he also received a yellow card.
Now the players of the Longteng team were dissatisfied. Wu Xinghan had kicked Chavez from behind twice before, and the referee didn't say anything. Now Chavez got a yellow card for a foul, and the players of the Longteng team gathered around.
In the past, go to the referee to discuss the matter.
Of course, there is no doubt that Chavez received a yellow card for a retaliatory foul. The Longteng players also put pressure on the referee to put more pressure on Shandong Luneng in the next game.
Zhang Sheng asked the players on the sidelines not to worry about this matter. The team is currently in poor physical condition and did not score many goals in the first half. It will be difficult to score goals in the second half.
The pressure from the Longteng team did affect the referee's decision to a greater or lesser extent. Then the Shandong Luneng players received a yellow card for a minor foul. The Luneng players appeared to be more cautious with subsequent fouls.
Even so, the number of fouls on the field did not decrease, and the game became intermittent. In addition, the first half was almost over, and Luneng retreated across the board. It was too difficult for the Longteng team to score goals.
In the second half, Luneng completely implemented the iron barrel formation. The Longteng team kept dropping kicks in the 30-meter area in front of Luneng, trying to open up the opponent's gap, but unfortunately they always failed.
In the end, the Longteng team could only frequently use long-range shots to threaten Luneng's goal, but Wang Dalei's performance prevented the Longteng team's long-range shots from scoring.
Especially in the last ten minutes, Luneng's players began to suffer from widespread cramps and fell to the ground, making the game simply a "nest" game.
The referee also seemed very helpless. In the final stage of the game, he showed two yellow cards in a row, including Shandong Luneng goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who also received a yellow card for deliberately delaying time.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, although the Longteng team won the game, they lost to Shandong Luneng with a total score of 2-3 and lost the opportunity to enter the FA Cup final.
Although this game was a game that Longteng Club had already decided not to force, Zhang Sheng was very dissatisfied with the course of the game. Lin Feng's mid lane looked a bit listless, and the victory was all due to Pato's own personal ability.
Ever since Lin Feng returned to the club and Zhang Sheng talked to him, Lin Feng has seemed listless during this period. It can be seen from his usual training that he has many things on his mind.
Zhang Sheng probably also knows how Lin Feng is feeling now. He seems to have a plan to travel to Europe, but the club he is targeting is not where he wants to be. He is unwilling to accept it. Worrying about gains and losses is his truest mentality now.
After the game, Zhang Sheng found Lin Feng again and decided to have a final showdown with him.
In Zhang Sheng's office, Zhang Sheng and Lin Feng met.
On the surface, the attitude between the two was very harmonious, and it did not become awkward because of the two previous conversations. Even when Zhang Sheng routinely asked Lin Feng about his performance during this period and whether he had any questions, Lin Feng
The answers were answered fluently without any hesitation.
But when Zhang Sheng changed the topic to the issue of overseas transfers, the air suddenly became quiet.
"Can I only go to that Hungarian First Division team?" Lin Feng asked with a little emotion.
Zhang Sheng nodded affirmatively and analyzed Lin Feng's characteristics again, almost telling him that he had reached the peak of his abilities.
Lin Feng also shook his head firmly and said: "If that's the case, I don't think there is any need for me to study abroad. The future of Hungary is not necessarily better than that of the Chinese Super League."
Zhang Sheng also understood the meaning of Lin Feng's words. If he goes to the Hungarian First Division, his reputation will not increase, but he will earn a lot less money. From this aspect alone, Lin Feng's "future" will indeed be better if he stays in the Chinese Super League.
Seeing that Zhang Sheng didn't speak, Lin Feng pressed a step further: "Actually, many teams have contacted me. They have given me the promise to study abroad in the five major European leagues."
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but smile. Perhaps the success of several Longteng players in Europe gave Lin Feng the illusion that it was easy to gain a foothold in Europe. Among the five major leagues, it is so easy to gain a foothold.
"Actually, I really hope you can stay in the team." Zhang Sheng said seriously, "Of course, if you have your own ideas, I won't stop you. After all, you have contributed a lot to the team in the past few years.
."
Zhang Sheng's words were more like a declaration to actively let Lin Feng leave the team. Lin Feng was obviously prepared: "Don't worry, I will do my best to help the team in the last few games of this season."
Seeing that Lin Feng meant what he said, Zhang Sheng could only say: "So be it. You are still young, just play football down-to-earth. No matter where you go, you must remember this sentence."
Lin Feng also nodded, said "thank you" and left Zhang Sheng's office.
Looking at Lin Feng's leaving figure, Zhang Sheng shook his head helplessly.
In Zhang Sheng's view, Lin Feng may not be irreplaceable, but in the eyes of other teams in the Chinese Super League, Lin Feng's ability is one of the top in the country. Rumors about Lin Feng's transfer have appeared more than once.
, staring at his team more.
However, from what Zhang Sheng learned, this time teams including Guangzhou Evergrande, Shanghai SIPG, Beijing Guoan and other teams that are interested in the championship have contacted Lin Feng. They all proposed that as long as Lin Feng transfers, he will be able to play for the full period.
How many years ago has he been promised to recommend him to a team in one of the five major European leagues.
I can only hope that Lin Feng can learn more or recognize the reality during the few years he remains in China.
After finishing the conversation with Lin Feng, Zhang Sheng returned his attention to the team, because the last few games of the league were about to begin.
The opponent of the Longteng team in this game is not easy, because the Longteng team is going to challenge Beijing Guoan away from home. Among the current Chinese Super League teams, except the Longteng team, which has won the championship, they will definitely participate in the AFC Champions League next season.
In addition, the points gap between Evergrande, Shanghai SIPG and Guoan, which are in the AFC Champions League, is not big. Including fifth-ranked Shandong Luneng, it is only two points less than fourth-ranked Beijing Guoan. And the second-ranked
Guangzhou Evergrande is only five points higher than Beijing Guoan.
With three games left in the end, Guangzhou Evergrande will continue to meet Shandong Luneng and Beijing Guoan. It can be said that it is really unknown who will enter the AFC Champions League and who will not.
In the game against Shandong Luneng three days ago, Zhang Sheng would rather use a large number of substitute players to prepare for this game, because Zhang Sheng had already made bold statements that he would win the championship undefeated. Of course, he was more prepared for the next one.
Stay tuned for the AFC Champions League in midweek.
But the most important thing is that he does not want to leave a huge stain on himself, so before the game Zhang Sheng once again encouraged the players and told them the significance of winning the championship undefeated: "As players, within the scope of our abilities, we should have
Higher requirements. I think if we can complete this task, no matter when in the future, as long as everyone looks back on the history of Chinese football, you will not be forgotten."
In this game, the lineup of the Longteng team was also very "generous". Ben Arfa and Pato both started the game. The only change was that because Nie Jiang was not there, the forward was replaced by Zou Weijia, who was still in the middle of the midfield.
The trio of Tao Wentao, Lin Feng and Rock Gill.
In terms of defenders, the Longteng team put up a purely offensive lineup, with two offensive players, Xiao Yunfan and Wei Zhimin. Judging from this starting lineup, the Longteng team obviously wanted to complete the victory in the first half.
From the start of the game, the process was exactly as Zhang Sheng imagined.
In the eighth minute of the first half, it was Ben Arfa who broke through from the wing. After that, his inward shot was extremely sudden. Beijing Guoan goalkeeper Yang Zhi did not react at all and just watched the ball go in.
The net nest.
The Longteng team took a 0:1 lead in the away game thanks to Ben Alfa's goal.
The Longteng team that scored the goal did not slow down its attack because of the lead. The two full-backs Xiao Yunfan and Wei Zhimin frequently inserted themselves from the side, and then formed a second-level attack with Lin Feng in the middle, allowing Beijing Guoan to attack in the middle.
The field is completely suppressed.
Manzano still put a lot of thought into this game. In this game, he changed the positions of Yu Dabao and Zhang Xizhe, and put Zhang Xizhe, who had always played as an attacking midfielder, on the wing. Yu Dabao went to the middle.
The purpose is to use Zhang Xizhe's attack on the wing to suppress the Longteng team's wing, and let Yu Dabao use his height to ferry in the middle.
Unfortunately, first of all, on the wing, Ben Alpha completely defeated the opponent's veteran Zhou Ting. Lin Feng in the middle was super capable of going up and down, and often flanked Yu Dabao with Rock Gill, making the latter completely unable to get it.
Ball rights.
Beijing Guoan was now completely unable to attack, and the Longteng team, which was under continuous siege, scored again.
In the 31st minute of the first half, the Longteng team used the left to threaten and passed the ball to the right of the back point. Pato, who cruised from the right to the center, circled back to the back point again with an easy header.
The penalty shot extended the score to 0:2.
With two goals in hand, the Longteng team slowed down the tempo of the game. Lin Feng, the metronome organizer in the middle, began to run up and down the middle, firmly controlling the tempo of the game.
Facing the smooth passing and control of the Longteng team, Beijing Guoan was really at a loss for what to do. Until the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 0:2.
After the start of the second half, Beijing Guoan made personnel adjustments. Zhang Chiming came on and replaced Zhang Xizhe back in the middle, while Li Yunqiu replaced veteran Zhou Ting.
It can be seen that Manzano was very dissatisfied with the game in the first half. It is extremely rare for two players to be replaced in the midfield.
After the substitution, Beijing Guoan changed their playing style and began to focus on breakthroughs from the wing, trying to take advantage of Xiao Yunfan and Wei Zhimin's backside.
It's a pity that the Longteng team changed their style of play again in the second half. There were fewer players on the two wings, but they started to make trouble in the middle. Zou Weijia used his youthful body and good physical fitness to attack Beijing Guoan's Mazic and Xu Yunlong.
Two points.
After repeated physical confrontations, the two 35-year-old veterans finally made a mistake. In the 18th minute of the second half, Zou Weijia received a pass from Pato from the side, squeezed Xu Yunlong away with his body, and hit a beautiful header with his head.
The ball was shot, and Yang Zhi made the best effort to save the ball. Yang Zhi's save saved the ball to the side in front of the penalty area.
Lin Feng, who had just passed a good ball to Pato, fired directly at the ball without stopping. Yang Zhi, who was still lying on the ground, had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net.
In this way, the Longteng team already leads the opponent 0:3.
The Longteng team, which was leading by a big score, also started to make a large number of substitutions. Pato, Ben Arfa, and Lin Feng were all replaced one after another, obviously to prepare for the AFC Champions League four days later.
Although the new Chavez, Yu Bo and Qi Ming are not as sharp offensively as their previous teammates, they are much stronger defensively and capable, especially Chavez, a dark and tough player who makes Beijing.
Guoan's backcourt, which was already suppressed by Zou Weijia, became even more vulnerable.
Although Beijing Guoan tried its best to push Zou Weijia out, unfortunately they could not find a good way because they did not have a better candidate for the central defender position.
Seeing this situation, the Longteng team decisively played a "big health" style of play. The players on the field passed the ball slowly, which earned them loud boos from the home fans.
In the midst of their boos, the Longteng team suddenly accelerated its attack. Chavez used his body to squeeze away Zhao Hejing's long shot from the right, and his long shot hit the goal post and bounced off the baseline, startling the Beijing Guoan players.
In the end, the game ended with the Longteng team defeating Beijing Guoan 0:3 in the away game.
Judging from the course of the game, the dominance of the Longteng team was undoubtedly revealed. Beijing Guoan Security only took five shots, and only hit two of them. Both of them were long-range shots, which did not pose any threat to Zhou Wei.
.
The Longteng team, with Lin Feng as the core, connected the entire team's offense. Although it seemed that he only scored a magic goal, it is not an exaggeration to say that he dominated the game.
After the game, whether it was the media, fans or Zhang Sheng himself, they all praised Lin Feng, which brought Lin Feng's reputation to a peak.
Zhang Sheng also believes privately that as long as he is in a strong team and does not encounter a team that is stronger than his own, he can act as a multiplier for the team.
After this campaign, because Shanghai SIPG was unexpectedly tied with Shijiazhuang Yongchang at their home court and failed to widen the points gap with the next few, Shandong Luneng relied on a home victory over Guizhou Renhe, which was definitely relegated, and surpassed them again
Beijing Guoan, with two rounds left in the league, Guangzhou Evergrande opened the distance with the following teams with 58 points, while Shanghai SIPG, Shandong Luneng and Beijing Guoan scored 52 and 51 respectively.
50 points ranked third, fourth and fifth.
The battle for the last AFC Champions League qualification is becoming increasingly fierce.
