In the end, it was Lima Lima, the top scorer of Dubai Al-Ahli team who stood in front of the penalty spot.
Faced with this pie falling from the sky, Lima did not let it go. His push shot caused Zhou Wei's save to go in the wrong direction. Al-Ahli Dubai tied the score with a penalty kick sent entirely by the referee.
Shortly after the equalizer, Olaroyu made personnel adjustments. The left back Sankul, who had been ravaged by Pato and Ben Al**, reached his physical limit and was replaced by Walid Abbas.
Zhang Sheng has now seen through the opponent's substitution intention, which is simply to prevent the Longteng team from scoring by strengthening the physical fitness of the backcourt players. What he has to do now is to strengthen the attack on the wing to make the opponent more difficult to defend.
Soon Zhang Sheng also made personnel adjustments, and Wei Zhimin replaced Zhou Zhou.
"Replacing a defensive full-back with a full-back with strong assist ability, it seems that coach Zhang Sheng is not willing to get a draw in the away game." He Wei analyzed.
Xu Yang nodded and said: "Although Pato left the field and was misjudged by a penalty kick, I don't think the Longteng team has been affected too much now. It seems that they have been trying to score a goal to vent their anger."
"If it were me, I'd also like to get one." He Wei also held his breath.
Zhang Sheng's substitution had an immediate effect.
In the 40th minute of the second half, Wei Zhimin took advantage of his good physical condition not long after he came on the field and rushed very hard on the left. Dubai Al-Ahli's right back Heiker intercepted the offensive combination of Wei Zhimin and Ben Alfa several times.
, but his physical strength has already reached its limit, how can he still stop him.
After Wei Zhimin made another successful breakthrough, Haeckel saw that the opponent was about to break into the penalty area and could only pull him down from behind.
For a foul like this, no matter how biased the referee was in favor of the home team, he had to call it, and Haeckel, who already had a yellow card, had to end the game sadly.
But even such an unquestionable penalty caused a dispute between the Al Ahli players in Dubai and the referee. Apparently they felt that the referee's red card was too "harsh".
He Wei smiled contemptuously at this time and said: "If this ball is not awarded, then this game really needs to be discussed by the Longteng Club and the AFC."
"Fortunately, the last few minutes." Xu Yang said happily, "The opponent's players are basically at their physical limit. It depends on whether the Longteng team can seize the opportunity of these few minutes to score another goal."
On the field at this time, Ben Alpha was standing in front of the football. Because it was too difficult to shoot directly from the wing of the penalty area, the Longteng team did not waste personnel and simply let Ben Alpha, the player with the best footwork, go to the penalty area.
Lidou.
After the second half, Al-Ahli in Dubai played another trick, that is, every time a player from the Long Teng team takes a shot, a free kick, or a corner kick, their home broadcast will play an air raid siren.
, this sound was super harsh and sudden, which affected many players of the Longteng team.
Especially in the second half, there was a long-range shot by Ben Alpha from the outside. He was startled by the sudden sound of the siren. He lost control of the ball and flew high into the stands.
Ben Alfa was unhappy with the malicious taunts from Al Ahli Dubai fans in the stands, but this time when the siren on Al Ahli's side of the stadium repeated its old trick, Ben Alfa delivered the ball steadily.
When Ben Arfa's ball passed into the penalty area, he accurately found the substitute forward Chavez. The latter jumped high and made a powerful header. Even though Quan Jingyuan pulled his clothes with his hands, it didn't matter.
Can stop this extremely strong forward's attack.
Although Mahmoud tried his best to save, he still couldn't block this extremely powerful header. He just waved his palm symbolically, and the ball penetrated into the net as fast as lightning. The Longteng team
Finally, after more than 20 minutes of furious attack, they took the lead again.
This goal, coupled with the previous dismissal of Al Ahli players in Dubai, destined the game to be irreversible.
He Wei also shouted loudly: "Chavez! Header! Beautiful! This header flew into the goal like a cannonball. You can imagine the power of Chavez. This player of the Longteng team during the break
The transferred players still inherited Coach Zhang Sheng’s good vision.”
"Chavez is also famous for his physical strength in the Chinese Super League." Xu Yang also said excitedly, "In his fifteen appearances with the Longteng team, he scored five league goals and three cup goals. This kind of efficiency is really
There is nothing to say. Compared to his worth, this performance is a great deal."
"The competition still depends on strength." He Wei, who had obviously been holding back for a long time, exhaled and said, "The strength of Chavez and the strength of the Dragon Team cannot be stopped with some tricks."
Zhang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, was hugging each other with Xuerle, the only remaining assistant coach on the coaching bench, and excitedly celebrated the goal.
In this game, the coaching staff of the Longteng team suffered more serious losses than the players on the field, and it became the focus of discussion after the game.
Al Ahli Dubai, which was completely defeated by this undisputed goal, also lost their energy. The players looked helplessly at the Dragons players celebrating wildly, and every one of them was sad.
Olaroyu saw Ribeiro, who had been running the whole game and was now supporting his knees with both hands, and reluctantly chose to make another substitution. Ribeiro was replaced by Asaidi, another foreign aid of the team.
The purpose of this substitution is to allow Assaidi to go on the court and rush forward. There is no need to think about positional offensive organization. It depends on his personal ability.
If it were the beginning of the year, Assaidi might still have made some contributions, but now that his form has declined significantly, he did not have any effective performance after coming on the field except for being intercepted while dribbling the ball.
As Morocco's international winger, Assaidi still has a certain reputation. After joining Liverpool, his inward shooting from the wing was always very threatening at his peak. When he was loaned to Stoke City by Liverpool,
In several seasons, he scored at least three similar goals. In a Premier League game, he once used this trick to beat Chelsea.
But last season, Assaidi was abandoned by Liverpool due to poor form. Unfortunately, because he and Stoke City failed to negotiate a buyout fee, Assaidi had to face a situation where he had no ball to play. In the end, Dubai Assaidi
Hurley bought him from the Premier League.
After coming to Al Ahli in Dubai, Assaidi's condition declined even more. Apart from playing at the end of the game, he did not have many playing opportunities.
This time he played proved that Olaroiu's view was right. Apart from complaining after losing the ball, Assaidi had no effect.
When it came to stoppage time, Olaroyu made his last adjustment, which was that Humaid Abbas replaced Khalil.
Khalil is also a typical West Asian player. He is talented and capable but does not work hard. This leads to a situation where he often lacks physical fitness in the game.
In previous games, especially in the first four AFC Champions League knockout games, he did not play more than 80 minutes in any one game.
After Humaid Abbas came on the field, Al-Ahli Dubai's formation was completely out of sync. There were four attacking players in the frontcourt, and full defense in the backcourt. The tactics were to defend in the backcourt and to look for those in the frontcourt.
players.
It's a pity that such tactics have no effect at all when facing the Dragon Team.
In addition, Zhang Sheng also used the last few minutes to make another substitution. Lin Feng was replaced by Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao, the tallest midfielder and the strongest interceptor, became the defensive barrier for the opponent's high ball attack.
Regardless of whether it was Lima, Hammadi, or the new players Assaidi and Humaid Abbas, Zhang Hao did not take any advantage in the confrontation. He basically grabbed all the headers.
At the same time, Lu Zhihui in the penalty area did not give the opponent any chance to header.
When the referee's five-minute stoppage time reached six minutes, he angrily blew the whistle to end the game, and the score was still fixed at 1:2.
The Longteng team won a crucial victory on the road.
He Wei also said easily: "This score in the away game means that Al-Ahli in Dubai does not have many opportunities. Judging from the strength of both sides, even if Pato cannot play in the next game, the Longteng team has greater hope of winning the championship.
"
"Of course I still hope that Pato's injury will not be too serious." Xu Yang followed, "After all, once the Dragons win the AFC Champions League, but there is a Club World Cup to play, I still think that Pato can survive.
It was an excellent performance in the Club Cup.”
"Then let's wait for the good news about Pato." He Wei also nodded and said, "Today the Longteng team showed us how to deal with the game when a team is interfered by some special circumstances. This is a
This is a unique performance of a mature championship team, let us congratulate them on winning this game."
At the press conference after the game, when a Chinese reporter asked about the referee's penalty in this game, Zhang Sheng, who had a victory in hand, did not criticize him, but said calmly: "I can't comment on the referee's decision."
Work. The game depends on the strength and hard work of the players. I think everyone has seen that the better team wins."
In fact, in his heart, Zhang Sheng cursed the reporter who provoked the trouble: "Fuck! My team has won the victory. It's useless to scold the referee again. Once they are caught attacking the referee, He Lijun and Lao Xing will end up badly."
Does it become useless work?"
On the other hand, the home team's coach Olaroyu seemed a little aggrieved, thinking that Hecker's red card was too harsh. His answer only received laughter from the Chinese reporters in the audience.
After the game, Zhang Sheng immediately asked about Pato's condition. Fortunately, the feedback from the team doctor showed that Pato's injury was not serious. It was a hard injury on the ankle and there was definitely no problem with the bone. He was still away from the second round of the AFC Champions League final.
There are still two weeks left in the game, so he should be able to come back in time for the second round.
This victory for the Longteng team is more than just a victory in an ordinary game.
Just the day after the team's victory, Longteng Club, which had just been successfully listed, received a large number of buying requests on the stock market. At the same time, Dongfeng Group also signed a new contract with Longteng Club, and on November 9, 2015
A press conference was held at which Dongfeng Group announced a comprehensive cooperation between Dongfeng Fengshen and Longteng Club. The Fengshen brand will become the chest advertisement of Evergrande’s new season jersey advertisement. At the same time, Fengshen and Dongfeng brand models will be officially designated by Jiangcheng Longteng Club.
The car will be used for reception of AFC Champions League home games. Longteng Club will also carry out extensive cooperation with Fengshen in football culture promotion, new energy vehicle promotion and other championship areas.
According to media reports, the amount of this cooperation between the two parties is as high as 150 million yuan per year. The two-year contract has created a domestic sports commercial sponsorship record and also broke the 110 million yuan per year record between Dongfeng Nissan and Guangzhou Evergrande in 2014.
Highest record.
When talking about the convergence between Fengshen and Longteng Club, Fengshen gave a very good reason: "As a domestically developed model, just like Longteng Club has the most and best local players in domestic football, we are committed to creating
A top-notch local brand.”
Speaking of the local players in the Longteng team, they are also the ones that the national team is most concerned about. In this AFC Champions League away game, because there are so many national team players in the Longteng team, there are currently less than 16 players in the national team's training camp.
Conducting normal technical and tactical drills and watching the Longteng team's games has become a group activity for them.
Both the assistant coach of the national team, Li Gang, and the team leader, when interviewed by reporters, expressed that they were very happy to see the Longteng team win in the away game. Moreover, Li Gang, an outspoken and upright person, also took the initiative to talk about the Longteng team.
"Treatment" received in the away game: "On the football field, strength has always been the most important factor that determines success or failure. The Longteng team gave the best answer. And in the next two World Cup preliminaries, the national football team is arranging their formations."
The admiral will learn from the technical and tactical play of the Dragon Team."
It can be said that the Longteng team did not take any rest after finishing the AFC Champions League. The national team members in the team rushed to the location of the national team game - Shonan Province, the day after their long flight back to Jiangcheng.
The provincial capital is Star City.
Even though the current situation of the Chinese national team is far more favorable than in history, the Chinese Football Association is still cautious. Not only did they reissue winning bonuses for the Asian Cup, East Asian Cup and four World Cup qualifying games before the game, but also invited clubs including Longteng to participate.
Seven club bosses from within went to Changsha to cheer for the national team. In the end, they even asked Zhang Sheng to "supervise the formation," but Zhang Sheng refused because it was inconvenient for him.
Zhang Sheng looked down upon the national team's inability to face powerful enemies when facing Bhutan and Hong Kong. He strongly agreed with the fans' sarcasm: "Are you going to watch the national football team play in the World Cup finals?"
However, before the match against Bhutan and the Hong Kong team, Zhang Sheng heard some disgusting words from Hong Kong-Chan. The chairman of the Hong Kong Football Association, Liang Yingde, expressed his position to the media after the Hong Kong team defeated the Myanmar team with 5 goals in the warm-up match. He hoped that
The Hong Kong team of China can defeat the Chinese team with the same score.
"I'm afraid I'm living in a dream." This is Zhang Sheng's evaluation of him.
Regarding these remarks about the national team, Zhang Sheng is now more concerned about the national junior team's final in Chile, because this is the first time that Chinese national teams at all levels have reached the final in a FIFA international championship.
Of course, not only Zhang Sheng paid attention to this final of the national youth team, but also the Chinese Football Association, the national team, and fans across the country paid ardent attention.
