Amid the off-field disputes between the two clubs and fans, the semi-finals of the 2015 AFC Champions League and the East Asia finals are finally about to begin.
Because Duan Xuan was preparing to leave CCTV for this game, the commentators became Liu Jiayuan and guest Xu Yang.
An hour and a half before the start of the game, the starting lineups of the two teams also came out, especially Guangzhou Evergrande, which has attracted much attention due to extensive injuries and yellow card suspensions. How is their starting lineup always the best in the game?
A topic that has been debated for a long time.
After the broadcast officially started, Liu Jiayuan also focused on introducing the Guangzhou Evergrande starting lineup.
"Let's take a look at Evergrande's eighteen-man roster." Liu Jiayuan took the information provided by the tournament organizer and said with emotion: "Hengda's bench is really strong. Judging from the list, this should be
In a 4-2-3-1 formation, the goalkeeper is still Zengcheng; the four defenders from right to left are Liu Jian, Mei Fang, Jin Yingquan and Li Xuepeng. It seems that as expected, Mei Fang and Li Xuepeng replaced the suspended players.
Feng Xiaoting and the injured Zou Zheng; let’s take a look at the midfield and frontcourt, which are the biggest adjustments of Evergrande. Above the midfielder is Paulinho and Zheng Zhi, the top defensive midfielder combination in the Chinese Super League. This is also the most important midfielder combination of Guangzhou Evergrande in this game.
In this place, the two midfielders on both sides are Yu Hanchao and Liao Lisheng. Let alone Yu Hanchao, this should be reasonable. His ability is no problem in playing the main force. Liao Lisheng's choice is a bit unpopular.
,Xu Yang, what do you think?"
Xu Yang also analyzed it very seriously at this time: "Although Liao Lisheng played fewer games this season than last season, a large part of the reason was due to injuries. The serious injury in the middle of the season still had an impact on him.
Quite big, but if you want to say who has the most similar style to Huang Bowen in the Evergrande team, it can only be Liao Lisheng, because he also plays as a midfielder as a midfielder, which is what Scolari often uses this season.
Tactics.”
"Liao Lisheng's choice seems inevitable." Liu Jiayuan also nodded in agreement with Xu Yang, "So on the front line, Gao Lin bursts forward, and Elkeson is in the midfielder position of Goulart. This is what Evergrande is doing now.
The best choice.”
"We can't say who will definitely go forward." Xu Yang expressed his opinion, "Both Gao Lin and Elkeson have the ability to stand firm at the center position, but also have the ability to drop back and distribute the ball.
Ability, maybe the two of them will switch positions frequently in this game."
"Well, it's true." After finishing Guangzhou Evergrande's starting introduction, Liu Jiayuan continued: "Judging from Evergrande's starting list, the abilities of these players are all at the national football level. Even Liao Lisheng is a young player in the National Olympic team.
Some players except Dragons players."
"But we see that Evergrande's substitute players are not as good as before." Xu Yang expressed his worries, "Liao Lisheng cannot play for a long time, and his condition is hard to say. So once he performs poorly, who will be the substitute?"
He is a big problem. Rong Hao, who can replace Rong Hao in this position, has played very few games. Gao Jun mostly appears as a midfielder and rarely plays this position. Wang Junhui is too young."
"The other positions are all players who haven't played many games." Liu Jiayuan worriedly said, "Except Li Shuai, who is the substitute goalkeeper and must sign up, Wang Shangyuan, Zhao Xuri, and Deng Chaoqun usually have a hard time playing.
Especially Deng Chaoqun, who has not appeared in the 18-man roster for more than half a year. Coach Scolari chose him instead of Dong Xuesheng for this game. It seems that he has his own ideas."
"If you say this, what do other Chinese Super League teams think?" Xu Yang joked, "Which of these players can't play the main role in most Chinese Super League teams? We can only talk about other Guangzhou Evergrande players.
The strength is too strong.”
"Haha. Indeed, indeed." Liu Jiayuan also laughed, "I don't think any team can refuse these players except the Longteng team. In this game, most of the regular main players of the Longteng team are starting. Only
Of the three rotation players, Zhou Wei started this game because Huang Dawei went to play in the World Junior Championships; Chavez replaced Nie Jiang, who also went to play in the World Junior Championships, and Zhang Hao appeared in the game because Roque Gill was suspended.
He is on the starting list. By the way, what do you think about Zhang Hao’s starting lineup? Will it have a big impact on the Dragons?"
"From the point of view of Zhang Hao playing, I think the Longteng team has a good chance of winning this game." Xu Yang expressed his opinion, "Zhang Hao is a defensive midfielder, although he has the ability to move forward.
Almost, but it can basically meet the passing tactics directed by Zhang Sheng, not to mention that his physical fitness is among the top players in the country. Anyway, Roque Gill rarely participates in the offense, so it is very difficult to replace Zhang Hao.
Suitable, in the end he can still use his body to fight against Paulinho. Compared with the previous game, Ben Alpha's comeback in this game will make Guangzhou Evergrande's defense more difficult. Let's take a look at the Longteng team
The substitute players are basically national team players or the absolute main players of the Olympic team, which obviously has a greater advantage."
After they introduced the starting lineups of both sides in detail, the game was about to start, and the broadcast camera returned to the game field.
Judging from the situation of the players from both sides in the entrance channel, the players on Guangzhou Evergrande's side obviously seemed a bit reserved, especially a few substitute players. When the broadcast camera was pointed at them, these people all had expressions on their faces.
serious.
The game started with a long whistle from the Australian referee Biss.
Soon the players on both sides stabilized their formations. Just as the two commentators analyzed before the game, both sides still maintained the formations of the previous game. The Longteng team playing at home was 4-2-3-1 and 4-
There are constant changes between 3-3, while Guangzhou Evergrande switches back and forth between 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-2-2.
It can be seen that both sides are very cautious and do not take risks by making unexpected formations.
Of course, it was Guangzhou Evergrande who played more aggressively, because the Dragons could accept a 0:0 score, but they couldn't.
In the fifth minute of the first half, Guangzhou Evergrande's first wave of offensive came out. Yu Hanchao, who came on as a substitute for Zheng Long, used his speed advantage to attack the Longteng team's right wing. He received the ball from midfielder Paolini.
After O's pass, he suddenly accelerated and cut inside. Zhou Zhou on the wing was a little unprepared, allowing Yu Hanchao to take a half-length lead.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhou's defensive ability is quite strong. His first reaction is to use his body to carry Han Chao. This movement is not big and will not cause the opponent to fall, but his speed and center of gravity when dribbling the ball will be affected.
Sure enough, Yu Hanchao's body swayed obviously.
However, Yu Hanchao's body balance is still very good. After shaking for a while, he stood firm. Then when he saw a certain shooting space in front of the penalty area, he directly chose to shoot. However, this shot was not pressed because there was no pressure.
Suddenly, the ball flew high into the stands.
Zhang Sheng was a little dissatisfied with Yu Hanchao's shot. He stood up from the coaching bench and stood on the sidelines. He shouted several times at Zhou Zhou because Zhou Zhou was obviously a little unfocused. As a team defender,
The full-back who has the strongest ability but doesn't have much offensive ability won't work if he doesn't concentrate on defense.
Hearing the coach's roar, Zhou Zhou immediately realized his mistake and quickly raised his hand to show that he understood.
However, I have to say that Yu Hanchao's attack was still very good.
Scolari told him before the game that if the right back he encounters is Zhou Zhou, let him cut inside and shoot more, because Zhou Zhou is a very traditional full back who can defend the ball from the front and the bottom.
He's very good at it, but he often makes mistakes when it comes to defending against inside cuts.
So Yu Hanchao, whose main foot is right-footed, went to play on the left wing. What he wanted was for him to start cutting in and shoot at high speed.
In fact, this is also a mainstream trend in the development of football now, that is, after the full-back opens the gap, the full-back is responsible for passing the ball, the full-back and the winger play against the foot, and after accelerating to cut inside, they can use the main foot
To shoot, the most famous example is Bayern's Robben. He plays the right winger with his left foot, then cuts inside and shoots with his left foot. Moreover, the effect is very good. There have been rumors in the world that "a healthy Robben"
I can’t defend myself.”
Of course, being able to play the main role as a defensive full-back in the Longteng team, which advocates offense, and also become the vice-captain, Zhou Zhou has his own characteristics. In the next game, he was like a dog-skin plaster. Yu Hanchao
It was difficult for him to find an opportunity to cut inside, but in the 12th minute of the first half, the Longteng team counterattacked.
This time Yu Hanchao received a pass from Zheng Zhi in the midfield and pretended to break through along the sideline. However, Zhou Zhou stood firm. Yu Hanchao was beaten by Zhou Zhou because the ball was at his feet for too much time.
Zhou saw the right moment and stabbed Pato in front of him.
After receiving the ball, Pato made the same inward movement as Yu Hanchao. Li Xuepeng, who was responsible for defending him, followed him closely and drove him to the center of the midfield to prevent Pato from approaching the penalty area.
However, Pato's ability was much higher than that of Yu Hanchao. He saw Li Xuepeng squeezing himself tightly and placed his center of gravity closer to the front. After making a spike with his left foot, his body turned towards the ball.
Right, caught up with the ball that was dunked forward.
Li Xuepeng wanted to turn around and chase Pato at this time, but he could no longer catch up.
Pato's first choice to get the ball is to speed up and rush into the penalty area. Guangzhou Evergrande's midfielder Zheng Zhi, center back Jin Yingquan and Yu Hanchao who returned from defense forced Pato towards the sideline, hoping to force him to the sideline.
go.
When Pato was dribbling the ball at high speed, he saw that the opponent wanted to surround him. He did not continue dribbling the ball, but directly passed the ball with a half-high kick. Before Jin Yingquan came up, he passed Zheng Zhi, who came from the middle to help defend.
Arriving at the middle of the field.
At this time, Chavez sprinted into the penalty area and took Mei Fang away. Tao Wentao's approach to Pato attracted Paulinho's defensive attention. Lin Feng, who came from the center, was directly released. In the huge Guangzhou Evergrande
At the top of the arc in front of the penalty area, no one was guarding him.
Lin Feng, who easily received Pato's pass, even had time to make adjustments, aimed at the right post of the Guangzhou Evergrande goal, and fired the ball with a powerful volley.
Because there was no interference in Lin Feng's shot, the power and angle of the shot were excellent. Although Zengcheng tried his best, he could only watch the football fly into the net against the right goal post.
The Longteng team broke the deadlock in the game with a quick counterattack after stealing the ball in midfield, taking a 1:0 lead.
"Pato's beautiful breakthrough, Lin Feng's shot, the ball went in! The Longteng team's counterattack was too sharp." Liu Jiayuan sighed, "Now Guangzhou Evergrande has too little pressure on the Longteng team's defense. The impact of Goulart's absence is
It’s still too big. On the contrary, Pato’s one person in the frontcourt involves the defense of three opponents. As long as he can pass the ball, Guangzhou Evergrande’s goal will be extremely dangerous, and Pato did it.”
After scoring the goal, Lin Feng rushed to the sidelines excitedly, grabbed the club emblem on the chest of his jersey, kissed him deeply, and then made a loving gesture with both hands to the fans in the stands.
"Haha. Lin Feng's action is very meaningful." Liu Jiayuan said, "There have been rumors before the game that Lin Feng will transfer and leave the team after the season. Some said he would go to Europe to study abroad, and some said he would transfer to the Chinese Super League.
From other clubs. Now he is using this action to show his attitude."
"Lin Feng's feelings for Longteng Club should be the unanimous attitude of all the players of Longteng Team." Xu Yang went on to explain, "Everyone knows that all the players of Longteng Club are trained by themselves. Like Lin Feng, before he came to Longteng Team
, no one knows that there is such a player. It is coach Zhang Sheng who has achieved his current achievements after several years of training. Although the previous transfer rumors may not be groundless, it is not necessary to let the players take the initiative to conflict with the Longteng Club.
It's possible. As you said, transferring is one thing, but contributing your abilities to the Dragons is another."
Seeing Lin Feng's actions, Zhang Sheng also clapped happily on the sidelines. Lin Feng does have a lot of ideas, but he is also a very professional player. He knows how a professional player should survive in his own club.
At this time, Scolari was also looking at Lin Feng with envy. He had previously made his request to the club, asking the club to introduce higher-level players. Among them, Lin Feng was a player he was particularly optimistic about. Lin Feng's performance now proves that he
That's not wrong.
After scoring the goal, the Longteng team played more proactively after Guangzhou Evergrande kicked off again. Lin Feng seemed to be particularly excited about this game. Whether the Longteng team was attacking or defending, he could be seen. The B2B midfielder
Value is perfectly reflected in him.
However, I have to say that for Lin Feng to be able to perform like this, the other players in the midfield also gave him tremendous help and support.
On the right, Pato is now suppressing Guangzhou Evergrande's attack on the left. In the front midfielder position, Tao Wentao makes Zheng Zhi completely unable to distract himself from organizing the attack. As for the left, it is even worse.
Suddenly, the temporary combination of Liao Lisheng and Liu Jian was completely compressed near the midfield by the attacking combination of Ben Alpha and Xiao Yunfan. They could only parry and had no room to fight back.
In this game, Zhang Hao, who was assigned to focus on cleaning up the midfield and backcourt, caused Paulinho extreme pain - because in terms of physical confrontation, Zhang Hao was so strong that even Paulinho couldn't bear it.
Guangzhou Evergrande has finally realized what it feels like for players to have their abilities suppressed.
