Thirty minutes into the second half, Paulinho took the ball in the frontcourt a little too much, and Qi Ming and Lin Feng jointly snatched the ball away. Lin Feng rarely made a long pass, and the ball went directly to the goalkeeper.
It flew to the left.
Because Guangzhou Evergrande was attacking just now, the players were all moving forward. Due to Scolari's tactical arrangement, there was a gap on the left wing, and Ben Arfa just seized this gap.
Fortunately, although Lin Feng's long pass was a little too big, Ben Alpha was fast enough and there was a large open space on the left, so he caught up with the ball.
Seeing Ben Alpha who started a little early on the court but immediately left behind Liu Jian, Liu Jiayuan exclaimed, "The Longteng team's counterattack was so fast. Ben Alpha was too fast. Liu Jian and him
Compared to the race between a tractor and a Ferrari, he is about to enter the penalty area."
Just as Liu Jiayuan exclaimed, the Guangzhou Evergrande players reacted of their own. The 35-year-old veteran captain Zheng Zhi rushed over from the side with a speed that was completely unlike his age, and then knocked Ben Alpha
The man with the ball fell to the ground.
Originally, after the kick-off, Guangzhou Evergrande was eager to equalize the score. Jin Yingquan went deep and Zheng Zhi passed the center circle. Liu Jian played as a defensive midfielder for Zheng Zhi. Instead, Zheng Zhi from behind rushed back to face him.
Ben Alpha, the last defensive player, overturned.
Zheng Zhi finally received a yellow card, and the Longteng team's offense was ended. However, it can be seen from this foul that Guangzhou Evergrande's defense is now in danger.
Scolari on the sidelines reacted quickly. He made his last substitution and replaced Liu Jian with Wang Junhui, who was constantly switching from right back to midfielder.
Scolari's substitution was a desperate move. Liu Jian was already struggling to defend, but now he is replaced by Wang Junhui, who has stronger offensive ability. This shows that he no longer thinks about defense at all and is completely counting on it.
Rely on offense to regain the disadvantage.
After Wang Junhui came on the field, he moved to the right wing position, while Wang Shangyuan followed Scolari's idea of using him - right wing snake oil, and was moved to the right back position.
Liu Jiayuan also saw Scolari's intention: "Here comes Wang Junhui. This is a winger. It seems that he wants to strengthen his offense and give it a final try."
After Wang Junhui came on the field, he really gave Scolari a big surprise. After he touched the ball for the first time, he used his skills to pierce the crotch. Alpha succeeded and completely copied Pato's crotch just now.
The ball was passed.
It can be said that Wang Junhui's breakthrough is still very shocking. When facing a top star like Ben Alpha, he can have the courage to use such an extraordinary move. He is exactly the same as Dejan, who played against Beijing Guoan before. It shows that
He is still very energetic.
Even Liu Jiayuan was shocked by Wang Junhui's action: "Wow! The ball was passed through the crotchless man. For Guangzhou Evergrande, this action was very relaxing. The Dragons were too aggressive in the past few minutes.
"
"In terms of his boldness and imagination to break through, Wang Junhui, a young player, is still very promising." Xu Yang also praised Liu Jiayuan.
But then Wang Junhui's old problem happened again. After passing Ben Alpha, he didn't think about cooperating with his teammates. He still lowered his head and rushed to the bottom line. They were all young players, and Xiao Yunfan had more experience than him.
More than once, seeing Wang Junhui sullenly walking all the way to the end, he decisively pushed Wang Junhui to the sideline and did not make any moves easily.
Sure enough, as Xiao Yunfan expected, Wang Junhui still wanted to continue passing people. He made several fake moves in succession but failed to get past Xiao Yunfan. Instead, he was pushed to the sideline by Xiao Yunfan. Then Xiao Yunfan, who saw the opportunity, kicked the ball.
Out of bounds, what Wang Junhui got after a beautiful breakthrough was just a frontcourt throw-in that didn't pose much of a threat.
"Well, this is a bit unique." Liu Jiayuan also said, "A team like the Longteng team cannot be regarded as a team in the Chinese Super League. Their defense is very layered, and passing people can indeed add surprise to their offense.
But if we don’t pass the ball quickly, the effect will be greatly reduced.”
His teammates on the field also complained about Wang Junhui's independence. After he broke through just now, Gao Lin and Paulinho were running to meet him. As a result, Wang Junhui rushed with the ball and did not see them at all.
After the ball was lost, Paulinho spread his hands towards him, indicating that he should pass the ball.
Also dissatisfied with Wang Junhui's final handling was Scolari on the sidelines. He also shouted loudly to Wang Junhui: "Pass the ball, pay attention to the ball."
But the players of the Longteng team would not give Wang Junhui another chance to break through easily. After Wang Junhui got the ball, Ben Alpha and Xiao Yunfan were very cautious about his dribbling.
On the contrary, Wang Junhui's own way of playing with his head down has more and more obvious side effects, because he rarely looks at the movement of his teammates when holding the ball. As a result, when he wants to pass the ball, he needs to look up to see where his teammates are.
The players of the Longteng team have been prepared for a long time, which makes it difficult to pass the ball. Even if the ball is passed, because the good opportunity has been missed, his passing basically has no threat, and more of it is a return pass or a pass.
It's horizontal.
The Longteng team's players also took advantage of Wang Junhui's poor passing ability and launched two consecutive counterattacks. In one of them, Zheng Zhi had to foul the Longteng team's attack and almost received a second yellow card.
After several consecutive poor performances, Guangzhou Evergrande's players wisely chose to give up passing the ball to Wang Junhui, and the role of Scolari in sending him was basically lost.
By the time the game reached about 40 minutes into the second half, Zheng Zhi's physical fitness had reached the limit. He was beaten by Tao Wentao with his body and speed several times in a row. The Longteng team also got several very threatening shots in a row.
Chance, Chavez also hit the goalpost with another shot, and Guangzhou Evergrande escaped the bad luck of conceding the ball again.
At this time, Scolari also gave up the idea of recovering the score. He replaced Zheng Zhi with Zhao Xuyang and put a defensive midfielder on the field. Although it can change the defensive weakness, the offensive threat is still there.
Too much less.
In addition, other Guangzhou Evergrande players have also reached their physical limits. Yu Hanchao and Jin Yingquan suffered from cramps in succession, and the situation on the court was even more one-sided in favor of the Longteng team.
In the last few minutes of the game plus stoppage time, Guangzhou Evergrande was basically pinned to the ground by the Dragons. Although Elkeson and Paulinho tried their best to defend, it was to no avail.
In the five minutes of stoppage time, Wang Shangyuan received two yellow cards for two consecutive fouls and was sent off with a red card. Guangzhou Evergrande completely gave up the game.
Liu Jiayuan also said in disbelief: "This is too embarrassing for Guangzhou Evergrande. The ball couldn't even pass half the court. It was pressed by the Longteng team and turned into an offensive and defensive drill. Zheng Zhi was not present. Evergrande's defense was a mess. This
It is certain that they will be eliminated from the AFC Champions League after 2 games. This is a serious blow to them who are determined to build the first club in Asia. However, I think Evergrande has a more pressing issue here, which is to give Zheng Zhi as soon as possible.
Find a successor."
"Not only for Guangzhou Evergrande, I think it's also for the national team." Xu Yang also said with concern, "Now Zheng Zhi is the absolute main force in the midfielder position in the Chinese national team. However, apart from Lin Feng,
It is difficult to have a second successor player in China who can form a seamless switch with him. It seems that our qualification for the top 40 is no longer a problem, but the upcoming top 12 will last until 2017, and we have to face
Regarding Zheng Zhi’s increasingly older and embarrassing situation, Coach Perlan should use the past two years to examine other young players in the Chinese Super League.”
With a score of 3:1 and an absolute advantage on the field, the bench players and coaches of the Longteng team also stood on the sidelines one after another, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to end the game. The banner in the stands was said to be the largest in the Chinese Super League.
They also began to flow between several stands, and other fans played Mexican waves. The Longteng fans began to enjoy the happiness that the game brought to them.
When the stoppage time came, referee Biss blew the whistle to end the game, and all the players on the Longteng bench rushed to the court and hugged their teammates.
The Guangzhou Evergrande players sat helplessly on the turf with disappointed faces. As the captain, Zheng Zhi endured the pain of being eliminated and comforted his teammates one by one on the court.
Zhang Sheng, the head coach of the host team, walked towards Scolari in a very gentlemanly manner and said in Portuguese: "It was a wonderful game, your team performed very well."
Scolari still maintained the demeanor of a world-famous coach. He also held Zhang Sheng's hand, hugged Zhang Sheng, and said: "Congratulations, you have a group of extremely good players who can reach the AFC Champions League finals."
It’s an amazing result, I wish you can win the AFC Champions League.”
After finishing the greeting with Scolari, Zhang Sheng rushed to the court excitedly, hugged his disciples, and cheered for winning the ticket to the AFC Champions League final.
Seeing Zhang Sheng on the court, Liu Jiayuan said with admiration, "At thirty-six years old, an age when some players with long careers are still fighting on the court, coach Zhang Sheng has already led the team to the AFC Champions League finals.
Above. This team is equally young as coach Zhang Sheng, with the lowest average age in the Chinese Super League. After they won the Chinese Super League championship, they launched an attack on the highest honor of Asian football. With a coach like Zhang Sheng,
There is hope for the future of Chinese football!"
"In fact, this game can also be seen as the handover of kingship between two kings." Xu Yang also sighed, "In the showdown that extended from the Chinese Super League to the AFC Champions League, the young kings had the last laugh. As you said
, the future of Chinese football has the last laugh. Let us look forward to the Longteng team playing such a powerful game in the final and taking back the AFC Champions League trophy."
At this time, in the VIP seats in the stands, Zhang Zhijun was smiling and shaking hands with the leaders of Jiangcheng City. The latter also cordially wished that Longteng Club has reached a new level.
Next, the leaders of Huatai Securities and Dongfeng Group also took turns shaking hands with Zhang Zhijun, congratulating the Longteng team on reaching the AFC Champions League final. In their view, a team with great advertising effect and investment potential has been pocketed by them.
As for the extra money invested later, it is just a drop in the bucket for them.
Soon, the fan groups carefully organized by Guangzhou Evergrande in the stadium had already left the stadium one after another after the Evergrande players bowed out. The fans of the Longteng team were still reluctant to leave after the players of the Longteng team bowed out several times in a row.
They chanted the name "Team Dragon" over and over with warm applause and neat slogans.
The DJ's voice almost went hoarse, and the fans reluctantly watched the Dragons players leave the stadium one by one.
At this time, the home team's locker room was filled with laughter and laughter. The Longteng team's players were in groups of three and two, happily discussing the game that had just ended.
Those with more outgoing personalities, such as Zhou Wei, Yu Bo, Yao Tian and others, were shouting at the top of their lungs. Lin Feng, who was plagued by transfer rumors before the game, did not stop his teammates and looked at these high-spirited teammates.
Partner, he even began to doubt whether his transfer was a wise choice for a moment.
After entering the locker room, Zhang Sheng also saw Lin Feng's expression. He walked straight over, patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said, "Well done for this game!"
Zhang Sheng's entry also brought the team's congratulations to a climax, and the team gathered around him one after another.
Seeing the players coming one by one, Zhang Sheng clapped his hands vigorously a few times to silence everyone, and asked loudly: "Are you enjoying this game?"
"Cool!"
Zhang Sheng was responded to by thundering cheers.
"Would you like it to be even better?" Zhang Sheng further raised the interest of the players.
"think!"
The same answer came in unison.
"Then how can we feel better!" Zhang Shengsheng shouted.
"champion."
"AFC Champions League!"
Zhang Sheng was very satisfied with the players' answers.
After everyone finished shouting and their voices dropped, a voice came out: "Club World Cup champion!"
"Hahaha!"
After being stunned for a moment by this answer, the players in the locker room were all happy.
Zhang Sheng also focused on the source of the sound. It was Lin Feng who shouted out the Club World Cup champion.
"It's a good idea! But this is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. It's quite an appetite." Zhang Sheng also joked, but soon Zhang Sheng expressed his thoughts, "I have this idea.
It proves that our captain has higher requirements for himself. Do you want to follow the captain to chase this dream?"
"think!"
In this atmosphere, the players no longer consider the possibility of the matter at all. It is estimated that it is not unbelievable for everyone to let everyone go to heaven now.
"Then everyone take a shower first, don't affect your body, and have a good rest at night. Maybe you can win the Club World Cup in your dreams! Then we will go on the court to fight for the championship! Tomorrow is a day off!" Zhang Sheng also has a day off!
It maintained the high morale of the team and at the same time induced everyone to calm down first.
