Xiao Yunfan made a determined move, forcing Sankul to follow him and run to the sideline.
When Xiao Yunfan was dribbling the ball, he kept observing the position of Ben Alpha with his peripheral vision. When he saw Ben Alpha using his running position to gain space to catch the ball, he made a beautiful emergency stop and distributed the ball to
Ben Alpha.
Facing Xiao Yunfan's pass, Ben Arfa turned around and got rid of the ball with the inside of his foot, which was extremely fancy but useful, making the personal defense of Al-Ahli Dubai midfielder Majid Hassan useless.
After getting rid of it, Ben Alpha knew that his position was the key defensive area of the opponent. Without any pause, he directly sent the ball through the ball and handed it to Nie Jiang who inserted from outside the penalty area.
Nie Jiang's high-speed intervention made Al-Ahli in Dubai unable to keep up. When Nie Jiang received the ball and shot, Al-Ahli's center back was already half a step behind.
Nie Jiang's shot was also very tricky, right at the top of the gap between the goalkeeper and the goal post.
This high-speed running momentum coupled with the advance provided by Ben Alfa in delivering the ball caused the ball to be very fast. When Nie Jiang kicked the ball, the ball was so fast that Al Ahli Dubai goalkeeper Mahmoud did not react at all.
Go to the rescue.
Mahmoud could only subconsciously wave his hand to block the ball, but unfortunately the ball had already passed Mahmoud's hand and flew into the net.
As soon as Nie Jiang returned to the AFC Champions League, he scored a goal, completely surpassing Goulart, and came to the top of the AFC Champions League scorer list. At the same time, he also greatly broke the deadlock on the court and changed the score.
It became 1:0.
The Dragon Teng team's attack was so sudden and fast that He Wei was completely unprepared.
He Wei, who was praising the Longteng team for playing well just now, quickly changed the subject when he saw Ben Alpha's actions and shouted: "Beautiful! Ben Alpha's breakaway, passed the ball, Nie Jiang, Nie Jiang's backside,
He went in, shot, beautiful! The ball was scored! He is in such a hot state now. He scored goals in the national youth team, scored goals in the national team, and now back at the club, it is his goal again. He is also the top scorer in the AFC Champions League.
The advantages are determined.”
"Nie Jiang feels so good playing football now." Xu Yang also said excitedly, shaking his head with emotion, "The moment Xiao Yunfan passed the ball, Nie Jiang started to accelerate and rush into the penalty area, and Ben Alpha's
The pass was also just right, the through ball to the ribs was exactly where Nie Jiang was rushing towards, and there was nothing the goalkeeper could do about the last shot."
At this time, Nie Jiang, who scored the goal, rushed towards Zhang Sheng excitedly, then jumped up high and threw himself on Zhang Sheng.
"Haha. Nie Jiang's celebration is like a child asking for a reward from his father." He Wei also had a smile on his face when he saw Nie Jiang's actions.
"Don't tell me, it's really like this." Xu Yang agreed with his face, "Once a teacher, always a father. As a mentor, it was coach Zhang Sheng's absolute trust in Nie Jiang that led to this 18-year-old
The outstanding performance of the talented youngster. Having said that, if you are under 18 years old, you are indeed a child."
This goal of the Longteng team can be said to be the perfect embodiment of Zhang Sheng's tactics.
What is a technical knockout? This is a technical knockout!
Perfectly predicting the opponent's tactical adjustments, arranging corresponding tactical countermeasures, and then letting his own players execute them successfully. The strength gap between the two sides in the coaching position is clearly visible.
The goal scored less than ten minutes into the game completely ignited the passion of the fans watching the game.
When Nie Jiang scored the goal, the entire stands of Jiangcheng Sports Center erupted in cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
With tens of thousands of people shouting at the same time, the giant Tifo carefully crafted by Longteng Club fans before the game also trembled with the cheers and the fans jumping, and the entire stadium seemed to be shaking.
Tifo is a new thing that came from Europe. It refers specifically to large banners or puzzles that can cover the stands.
In the last AFC Champions League semi-final against Guangzhou Evergrande, the Longteng fans group gathered together and created a large Tifo that broke the Disney world record.
This time it’s the more critical AFC Champions League final, and a larger and better-made Tifo has already been put on the agenda.
This Tifo depicts an extremely powerful Chinese dragon, and now as the Dragons score, the dragon flies up like a cloud and mist under the pull of the rope. The scene is so spectacular and thrilling.
After losing the ball, Olaroyu looked a little helpless. He knew the game would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. His team had no power to fight back.
Due to tactical suppression and the gap in player strength, Olaroyu can only change the situation by showing the fighting spirit and super-level performance of the players.
Thinking of this, Olaroyu waved his big hand vigorously and kept roaring at the court, trying to arouse the morale of the players, and after the kick-off again, Al-Ahli in Dubai did get a chance.
In the 15th minute of the first half, shortly after the Dragons scored a goal, a long pass from Al Ahli Dubai's backcourt reached Lima.
Lima used his good jumping ability to deflect the header back and handed the ball to Khalil in front of the penalty area. The latter saw that there was no chance to break through and took a long shot.
Originally, the threat of this long shot was not great, but as a central defender, Ma Yongli subconsciously blocked the shot. As a result, the ball hit Ma Yongli, refracted, changed the flight route, and made the defender prepare to save.
Zhou Wei didn't expect it at all.
Fortunately, the ball changed its route unpredictably. In the end, the ball missed the post and flew out of the baseline.
Zhou Wei, who fell to the ground, was frightened for a while. This kind of curved ball was the goalkeeper's least favorite situation. Fortunately, he was lucky this time.
The next corner kick from Al-Ahli in Dubai accurately found Lima's point, and his header went past the goal after being interfered by Ma Yongli.
Al-Ahli Dubai, which has launched two consecutive offensives, is gradually gaining confidence.
Seeing the situation on the field, He Wei was also a little anxious: "The Longteng team was a little flustered after scoring a goal. These young players are still inexperienced in competitions. I hope they can adjust their emotions as soon as possible."
"It should be no problem. Coach Zhang Sheng is already giving instructions." Just after the replay of the broadcast camera, the perspective was given to Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng rushed to the sidelines and roared a few words loudly on the court. Xu Yang did the same.
An explanation was given.
Zhang Sheng's roar was still very effective. As the team's defensive midfielder, Roque Gill stepped up his defense against Lima. At the same time, the players on the field also followed Zhang Sheng's instructions and played passes.
The mood and rhythm have stabilized, and Al-Ahli Dubai, who wanted to rush forward, was pushed back again.
Seeing that his team had just retracted after getting erect, Olaroyu was also extremely angry. He waved to Lima and asked him to run in the midfield. After all, the two full-backs played by the Longteng team this time were offensive.
The strong defense is weak, and when Ribeiro is seen dead, Lima must use his personal ability to create opportunities.
Lima's impact on the wing does pose a certain threat to the Dragons. Unfortunately, as a center, if he rushes to the wing, there will be no one in the middle to grab points. Khalil's shooting skills are okay as a forward, but he is better
Most of the problems were solved by footwork. Faced with Lima's kicking from the wing, he was completely submerged in the muscle jungle of the Longteng center back.
Compared with the monotonous and inefficient offensive method of Dubai Al-Ahli, the Longteng team's offense appears to be much more threatening.
At the 18th minute of the first half, the Longteng team's front three changed positions, with Pato moving to the center position and Nie Jiang switching to the right.
This change of position made Ahli a little uncomfortable. Nie Jiang cooperated with Wei Zhimin on the right. Wei Zhimin's assists from the wing were much more reliable than the crosses from a center like Lima. His base was
The cross was urgent and fast, and it was still a half-high ball.
Many players in Ahli's penalty area did not dare to block the ball, because it was very likely that it would fly directly into their own goal as soon as it was touched. Therefore, when the ball flew in the penalty area, Ahli's players seemed a little cautious.
The players of the Longteng team did not have such scruples. Regardless of whether the ball could be scored or not, there was always a chance when it came into contact. As expected, Tao Wentao, who was more determined in his actions, grabbed this point.
Fortunately, Fardan, who had been following back from the midfielder position, blocked the shovel shot and blocked the ball out of the baseline.
"Oops. Opportunity." He Wei also shouted with a bit of regret, "But this style of play is right. The attack from the wing must be resolute, and the combination of the wing and center must also be connected. Our corner kick, in the Longteng team, is
He has a very sharp attacking header.”
In the next corner kick, Lu Zhihui indeed grabbed the first point. His header forced Mahmoud to make a save, and the Longteng team won another corner kick.
Such continuous offensive pressure puts a lot of pressure on the team's defense. Olaroyu on the sidelines also clenched his fists nervously and stared at his team's penalty area.
When the Longteng team took another corner kick, Ben Alpha's pass once again found Lu Zhihui. This time the opponent's defenders were more alert, and Lu Zhihui's header flew out of the baseline due to the opponent's interference.
At the 22nd minute of the first half, the Longteng team found another opportunity with consecutive kicks in the midfield.
With Lin Feng as the core, the Dragon Team's six players, Roque Gill, Pato, Ben Arfa, Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao, kept switching the triangle offensive combination, first from the left to the right, and then there were
Moved from the right to the left.
Lin Feng used his smart movement and precise kick delivery to make Al Ahli Dubai's midfield and backcourt run needlessly following the rhythm of the Dragons.
"The Dragon Teng team's Tiki-Taka tactics started, one kick, two kicks, three kicks... It's so beautiful, nine consecutive kicks without stopping the ball." He Wei looked interested, "Ah
Hurley can’t keep up at all.”
Before He Wei finished speaking, Pato suddenly accelerated after receiving Tao Wentao's pass.
In this kind of non-stop passing, it is easy for the opponent to fall into a fixed rhythm. Once the offensive team suddenly starts to speed up, the defensive team will often be caught off guard.
This was exactly the case this time. When Pato suddenly started to speed up, Ahli's players were too slow to keep up. As the defensive midfielder Majid Hassan saw that Pato was about to start running, he just
He was able to pull Pato directly to the ground.
Such a foul was extremely obvious, and the defensive benefit was also very large. Referee Irmatov ran to the place where Pato fell to the ground, and called Majid Hassan who wanted to slip away after committing the foul, and then
He decisively took out the yellow card.
Majid Hassan, who was well aware of his foul, did not argue. Seeing that his attempt to run away secretly failed, he could only pretend to pull up Pato who was lying on the ground.
"The change of pace of the Dragons really confused the opponent." He Wei sighed, "Barcelona likes the sudden change of pace after playing Tiki-Taka the most. I didn't expect that the Dragons would not be able to do it in a key occasion like the AFC Champions League final."
It’s typed out.”
"It's too difficult for Asian teams to defend." Xu Yang did not begrudge his praise, "Especially Ahli still wants to score goals. Their formation is not tight, and the defensive distance is definitely not small. If we encounter it,
It’s too easy for the Longteng team to make mistakes in their offense. This time it gave Pato a chance. The Longteng team’s free kick is also in a good position, only about 24 to 5 meters away from the goal, so it’s a good opportunity.”
When the players of the Longteng team were arranging the free kick tactics, the replays were also shown in time. Seeing the smooth passing of the Longteng team in the frontcourt in the replays, the fans in the stands had an intoxicated expression on their faces.
Zhang Sheng was also on the sidelines applauding his disciples vigorously.
None of the six players who participated in this attack had an ability value lower than 80. Players like Ben Arfa and Pato had an ability value of over 110 and 120. This combination is definitely the best in Asia.
Apart from fouling, Ahly had no other option.
The yellow card received by Majid Hassan was also the first yellow card of the half.
After knowing that this game was officiated by Irmatov, Al-Ahli in Dubai also knew that it was wishful thinking to get such an unscrupulous home whistle. Before the game, Olaroiu specifically warned the players,
Let them pay attention to their defensive actions.
Therefore, although the competition was fierce, everyone played very professionally, and there were not many irregular fouls beyond the scope of the game like the previous game.
But this yellow card is very troublesome for Al Ahli in Dubai.
Majid Hassan, as the defensive midfielder, is responsible for sweeping up the midfield. Once he gets a yellow card, what should he do if he encounters an attack like the Dragons again?
This is a problem that Ahly head coach Olaroiu must face.
Of course, Ahli's first priority now is to prevent the Dragons' free kick.
At this time, in front of the football, Ben Arfa and Pato were standing on the left and right. Both players were shooters who could shoot left and right. The Ahli team had to put up a wall of 6 people to block them.
The angle of the shot.
After Pato feinted, Ben Arfa kicked the ball out.
Mahmoud, who had already started to move to the right, showed his flexibility. He kicked his legs hard and barely touched the ball with his hand. Ben Arfa's shot also flew out of the baseline.
