For Chinese fans, this much-anticipated Club World Cup match will soon begin.
Before the game, in order to win, Zhang Sheng even played the role of a magic stick: "During this period, we have been rehearsing tactics against Barcelona, and we did not put Messi in the opponent's tactical combination at all. Because I guess
Yes, the opponent's MSN will definitely only have Suarez on the field. Nine out of ten Messi will have some injury before the game and be unable to participate in the game. Neymar's chance of playing will also be very small. This is why I do this.
"
The whole team felt very miraculous about Zhang Sheng's prediction this time, because just four hours before the start of the game, news came from the media that Messi was diagnosed with renal colic and was unable to participate in the game.
Regarding Enrique's promise to play with the full lineup that he emphasized several times before the game, all the players thought that this was Zhang Sheng's comfort to everyone, letting everyone put down their burdens, but they didn't expect that it actually came true.
Next, Zhang Sheng commented on Barcelona's starting players: "In this game, there are only three people who really threaten us, and that is Suarez, Alves and Iniesta. The other players,
Especially the two substitute forwards sent in this time, Munir and Roberto, are at best the level of strikers from a mid-tier team in La Liga."
"The reason why Roberto can play as a substitute in Barcelona is because of his youth training status in La Masia and his role as a snake oil on the court. As for Munir, he said he was playing center to be Suarez's backup, but he requires physical fitness
He has no body, wants speed but not speed, and doesn't like to defend. In addition to liking diving, we have to guard him. There will be no problem in guarding him." Zhang Sheng even reduced Barcelona's two starting forwards to nothing in this game.
value.
"In this game, we still started 4-2-3-1." Zhang Sheng's words immediately gave the players a lot of confidence, especially Pato, who became energetic, "Pato, Ben Arfa
,Nie Jiang”
The people whose names were called by Zhang Sheng immediately focused their attention, "You three must speed up. I want absolute speed. If you can break through, break through by yourself. If you can pass the ball quickly, pass the ball quickly. Tactics
I have made a lot of arrangements, and all performances must be based on the actual situation on the court."
"Chavez, Lu Zhihui." Zhang Sheng continued to name them, "I rely on you two for set kicks. This is also our most likely chance to score. Barcelona's air defense has never been a strong point."
"Finally, what I want to say is." Zhang Sheng paused and strengthened his tone again, "It's normal for us to lose, but they can't. So we have to be patient. Their patience is definitely not as strong as ours. The outside world says
If we can win, it will be a miracle, now let’s create a miracle together!”
When the players were all excited and ready to play, Zhang Sheng deliberately grabbed Pato: "The outside media have been saying that you have degenerated by coming to the Chinese Super League. Your worth is less than one-tenth of Messi's.
Bah bah bah... But I always thought you were the Pato who could make all the Barcelona fans speechless at the Camp Nou. Are you confident that you can do it?"
"I will let them know me again." Although Pato said very definitely, his expression was very indifferent. It was obvious that under the calm surface, Pato's heart was burning.
Zhang Sheng also nodded seriously, patted Pato on the shoulder and said: "I believe you. Take this game as a wake-up call for you to return to Europe."
At 18:30 on December 17th, Beijing time, the highlight of the 2015 Club World Cup semi-finals started at the Yokohama International Arena in Japan. The Longteng team ushered in the toughest game since its establishment.
Because of Barcelona, the Club World Cup, which was originally not popular enough, has become hard to get tickets. Countless Barcelona fans hope to see them lift the Club World Cup championship trophy for the historic third time in Japan.
However, taking advantage of the convenience of being close to Japan, countless Chinese fans also came to the scene. When the Longteng fans appeared during the radio introduction, the huge cheers completely turned the stadium into the home court of the Longteng team.
He Wei, who was in charge of the commentary, also said excitedly: "The Longteng team is on the field, and the boys all look very energetic. We look forward to this being a wonderful game."
Xu Yang also encouraged: "We can get here because of our strength. We can play against Barcelona because of our hard work. I think the players of the Longteng team on the field are just as Lin Feng said before the game. Since they are here
Here, we will do our best to express ourselves.”
Barcelona kicked off first with a long whistle from the referee Aguilar from El Salvador.
From the first second of kick-off, Barcelona played very "Barcelona". Starting from the two players who took the kick, after eighteen passes, they pulled the Longteng team's defensive formation on the left.
Gaining space, Alba passed the ball into the penalty area.
Fortunately, Zhou Wei's positioning was very accurate, he jumped high and picked the ball off.
This series of passes from Barcelona received a burst of warm applause from the fans in the stands.
After getting the ball, Zhou Wei did not use his big foot to find the players in the frontcourt to compete for height or speed like other teams. He also put the ball on the lawn, and then passed the ball to Ma Yongli.
The next amazing scene happened on the court. Ma Yongli got the ball and handed it to midfielder Lin Feng extremely skillfully. Lin Feng passed the ball back to the left back Lu Zhihui without stopping.
Lu Zhihui then passed the ball to another central defender Du Zhenyu. When a Barcelona player came to attack, he passed the ball to goalkeeper Zhou Wei.
Next, Zhou Wei's pass accurately found Ma Yongli. At this time, because Barcelona's players had not returned to their positions after consecutive attacks, Roque Gill's position was completely empty. Ma Yongli passed the ball without stopping.
After giving it to him, Roque Gil also moved the ball to the left side where Rakitic grabbed the ball and exposed the gap.
Ben Alfa has been waiting for a long time in this position. After getting the ball, he chose to accelerate quickly. When Alves came to defend, Ben Alfa passed the ball. This time his pass was directly at a 45-degree angle.
Looking for Chavez in the penalty area, the latter took off together with Barcelona's central defender Pique. In the end, Pique was superior and grabbed this point, but Pique didn't know the situation behind him and pushed the ball out to be on the safe side.
After reaching the bottom line, the Longteng team received a corner kick.
He Wei was so shocked when he saw this scene on the court that he couldn't close his mouth: "This is Tiki-Taka. I read it right. The Longteng team played Tiki-Taka tactics in front of Barcelona and got a corner kick opportunity.
No, is this a show of force in front of Guan Gong, or is he treating the other person in his own way? Haha, it’s so dramatic.”
"The Long Teng team's previous tactics have been called 'Chinese Barcelona' by outsiders many times. It's really not a wasted reputation." Xu Yang also stared in surprise, "Look at Enrique's expression. That's what he saw.
Are you crazy? Haha. I guess Enrique didn’t expect that the Dragons would use such a tactic."
To be honest, the attack just now by the Dragons really meant to catch Barcelona off guard, but Alves' position was very good, and Ben Alfa did not have much confidence in breaking through him. At the same time, Nie Jiang in the frontcourt, in the middle
Lin Feng, who followed up on the field, was blocked by the opposing player's passing route. Ben Alpha could only choose to gamble his luck by hanging in the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Of course, it seemed that he was lucky, at least he got a corner kick.
Enrique couldn't even restrain himself at this time and turned to look at Zhang Sheng on the coaching bench next door. It's really rare for a team to play like this in front of Barcelona. His senior Guardiola led Bayern Munich.
They tried their best, but they also failed.
"This team is a bit interesting." Enrique thought of this and waved his hands dissatisfied with the players on the field, shouting loudly to ask them to increase their concentration and cheer up, "Be active and play well."
Be positive.”
The players on the Longteng team paid great attention to the following corner kick. Zhang Sheng told them before the game that maybe at the beginning of the game, the opponent would relax a little and give themselves a chance. At three minutes,
In three minutes at most, these world-class players who are new to the Dragons will demonstrate their strong personal abilities, extremely quick adaptability, and terrifying tactical execution.
Therefore, taking advantage of the opening opportunity to attack and win the corner kick couldn't be more important.
The person responsible for taking the corner kick was Ben Alpha, who had the best positioning skills in the team. After observing the situation in the penalty area, he decisively kicked the ball to a point that the opponent ignored - Lu Zhihui.
As the Argentine foreign aid in the Longteng team, Chavez at least has a scoring record in the Copa Libertadores, so Barcelona still pays certain attention to his situation, especially as he is a physically strong man.
, a center player with good height and strong heading ability, Barcelona must strictly monitor him in the defense of set pieces.
Ben Alpha resolutely carried out Zhang Sheng's pre-match arrangements and found another player in the team who was good at attacking headers. He was also a player that Zhang Sheng thought Barcelona might ignore.
Zhang Sheng's guess was indeed correct. Barcelona was really not familiar with Lu Zhihui. When Ben Arfa passed the ball, Chavez was stared at by Pique, but next to Lu Zhihui was Masche, who was only 1.74 meters tall.
Lano and Lu Zhihui did not waste this rare opportunity. His high leap was more than a head higher than Mascherano. When he headed the ball towards the goal, you could see that he was the highest jumper in the penalty area.
Because the interference was minimal, Lu Zhihui's header was extremely powerful, and the ball quickly flew into the net after being hit by his head.
However, as the goalkeeper of Barcelona, no matter how Bravo was criticized later in Manchester City, the British media said that he was a holographic projection on the field and completely insubstantial. They even named him "Prince Regent", which means that as long as he
If others shoot on target, they will definitely score. Now that he has shown the ability, he is still the main force of Barcelona.
Bravo, who is only 1.84 meters tall, fully demonstrated his super-fast reaction speed, amazing jumping ability, and world-class goal-line skills. His bounce on the spot actually reached Lu Zhihui's must-goal. Football was being laid out.
After Lavoe's hand touched it, it bounced up. After slightly changing its route, it was almost higher than the crossbar.
"The Dragons' corner kick." He Wei was also looking forward to it before Ben Alpha kicked off. "It's too difficult to attack Barcelona. Set kicks, including free kicks and corner kicks, are our best opportunities."
"Both Chavez and Lu Zhihui in the Longteng team have good header offensive abilities." Xu Yang specifically pointed out these two players, "I believe coach Zhang Sheng must have made special arrangements before the game."
When Lu Zhihui's header hit the goal, He Wei even screamed loudly: "Oh! Lu Zhihui! This header was saved."
"Good goal, good goal, good goal." Xu Yang also clapped excitedly, "It's still our header. We have a chance from the set kick. This time it's a corner kick on the right."
Seeing Lu Zhihui's header being saved, the Longteng players who had all rushed out from the bench sat back in disappointment. Yu Bo, who had an outgoing personality, jumped up, squatted on the ground, and raised his hand with his hands.
He hammered the ground hard, as if he missed the shot and must have scored.
Zhang Sheng also rushed to the sidelines and covered his head with regret.
Enrique on the other side looked even angrier than the previous shot from the Longteng team. The last time he was counterattacked, it could be said that the players were not familiar with it. They had just come on the field. The missed player in the set piece was simply underestimating the opponent.
Seeing the continuous corner kicks from the Longteng team, the Barcelona players also became extremely nervous. No one expected that the Longteng team would be a sap when they came up. If they were really scored, the opponent would retreat and fight back. What would happen later?
It's hard to say.
This time before Ben Arfa served the ball, Barcelona's penalty area was not as forgiving as the previous corner kick. Barcelona's players grabbed and hugged the Longteng players in the penalty area, and the pulling between each other even made the referee
Aguilar had to call a timeout and warned the players on both sides to calm everyone down a little.
When Ben Alfa's corner kick came out, the person standing next to Lu Zhihui this time was not Mascherano, who was only 1.74 meters tall. Busque was ranked second in Barcelona's header defense.
Ci pressed tightly against Lu Zhihui, not giving him much room to jump.
However, in the end, the Longteng team still grabbed the header. Nie Jiang kept running in the penalty area and found the landing point at the back point. However, this position was a bit far away from the goal. His header hit the target.
On the Internet.
Barcelona's weak heading ability has always been their biggest defensive weakness. In this game, Zhang Sheng couldn't match Tao Wentao, and they just put Chavez at the front, just to compare him with Pique. As long as he can
In the confrontation with Pique, if Pique is not allowed to intercept the header in space, it is really difficult to say that other players' headers are much better than the Longteng players.
It's a pity that both headers were grabbed, but no goals were scored. It will be really difficult for the Longteng team to get such an opportunity again later.
