After Xiong Jian came on the field, Zhu Xuhe, a player of the same type as him, suffered a bit. He was also a player who ran actively and had a balanced offense and defense. Xiong Jian's index in all aspects was higher than Zhu Xuhe's. In addition, both sides were new to the field. Xiong Jian
Not inferior to the opponent in terms of physical fitness, Hebei China Fortune's left attack slowly retreated.
Of course, even so, China Fortune Fortune's left wing was far better than in the first half. At least midfielder Li Xing didn't have to cover the left wing many times.
In the next game, Hebei China Fortune's offense gradually improved. Li Xing went to the right to cover more defenses, making the space behind Gervinho much safer. The latter also began to use his speed and
Technical impact on the Longteng team's left defense.
In the 26th minute of the second half, Gervinho continuously broke through the three lines of defense of De Paul, Qi Ming and Lu Zhihui. Fortunately, Huang Dawei's attack was very timely, and Gervinho had already dribbled the ball to the baseline.
The subsequent shot was blocked.
Zhang Sheng made another adjustment at this time. De Paul was replaced by Roque Gill, who had just recovered from injury. Qi Ming was pushed to the left to strengthen the defense against Gervinho.
Now the three midfield players of the Longteng team are all players who are good at offense and defense. With Ma Yongli's protection behind the three of them, the team's defensive intensity is even higher. China Fortune Land Development's offense is once again blocked.
Outside the 30-meter area of the Long Teng team.
At the end of the second half of the game, Zhang Sheng replaced Xiang Tiange with Huang He, and used Huang He's fast speed to launch an impact on the left wing of Hebei China Fortune, which had almost played the entire game.
At this time, the depth of the benches of the two teams was reflected. The players replaced by the Longteng team were generally with abilities above 75, while on the Hebei China Fortune team, the players on the bench were embarrassed. They were generally
For players with an ability value of less than 70, the players on the field now are the strongest lineup that Li Gang can field.
However, now trailing 0:3, Li Gang also gave up the idea of getting the score back and replaced Lavezzi and Gervinho in succession, giving the two foreign players time to rest.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Longteng team also defeated its opponent Hebei China Fortune 3:0 at home.
After the game, Li Gang called and complained to Zhang Sheng: "You are too disrespectful, and your own brother is not merciful either."
Of course, Li Gang is just saying that. He is a very proud person and will never allow his opponent to let go, let alone his good friend.
In Zhang Sheng's opinion, there are several reasons why Li Gang lost this game.
The first is the issue of tactical proficiency.
Including his previous coaching experience in the Chinese League One, Li Gang has been coaching Hebei China Fortune for less than a year, not to mention that after being promoted to the Chinese Super League, the entire team has undergone a major overhaul.
It is unrealistic to expect Li Gang to give the team a very mature style of play in such a short period of time. He can only choose a certain direction, create an offensive corridor, and hope that one move will be used all over the world.
Secondly, Li Gang's own tactical planning ability is also average.
Historically, Li Gang basically only played Ding Haifeng in offense. Jiang Ning was on the left. At the beginning, others were not familiar with this team and could not quite grasp Li Gang's ideas. Later, Li Gang always played
On the left, when the situation cannot be opened up, it has become a fixed routine to switch to Luo Senwen and Micro-Zun Wing from the defensive midfielder. When leading, it has become a fixed routine to switch to Dewey.
Last but not least, Li Gang does not trust domestic players very much, but he also values players' resumes.
In his game arrangement, it is not who is suitable for the tactics and who should play, but foreign players are ranked first, famous players are ranked second, and finally young players are ranked last.
In fact, it's not his fault. Not to mention Li Gang, even the foreign coaches who come to the Chinese Super League have always regarded foreign players as the treasures of the team. Regardless of their status and whether they fit their own tactics, they will be forced to play on the field.
Like this game, Mbia was not there originally, and the best way to cooperate with Wei Zhimin was with Zhu Xuhe, who was from the Longteng team, and had a balanced offense and defense, and could prevent the Longteng team from attacking, but he still habitually went to Kakuta, and
The actual situation was that Kakuta played in a mess, and it was only in the second half that Zhu Xuhe came on, but by this time the team was already 0:2 behind.
Zhang Sheng did not be stingy with his analysis, but when chatting with Li Gang after the game, he tactfully put forward all three of his opinions. As for whether Li Gang will adjust, that is his business.
Of course, there is another point that Zhang Sheng has not said, and that is Hebei China Fortune Land Development's positioning of Li Gang.
As a well-known player in the history of Chinese football, a leader from Liaoning, a long-established youth training ground in Chinese football, and now the most important producer of good players in the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng’s friend, the actual owner of Longteng Club, is in Guangzhou Evergrande again.
Li Gang, who has worked for several years, was the person Hebei China Fortune tried its best to win over in the early days after the club's acquisition.
China Fortune Land Development Club has taken note of Li Gang's reputation and charisma, and hopes that he can get a group of good youth training prospects from Liaoning (Li Gang has indeed done this in history, recruiting more than a dozen youth training players from Liaoning).
Hebei China Fortune Land Development, but Liaoning later filed a lawsuit with the Chinese Football Association, and these players were forced to return them); they were able to poach good players from the Longteng team through Zhang Sheng's relationship - the Longteng team also
It is true that many players went to Hebei China Fortune; they were able to get some players from Guangzhou Evergrande who could not play in the Evergrande club to strengthen their strength - Li Gang did this.
But later in the Chinese League One, the performance of the team led by the foreign coach was not good, and Li Gang was forced to be placed in the position of head coach - in the middle of the league, there was not much time for the club to find a good coach outside, so it was better to let him
Li Gang is very familiar with the players, and most of them have been brought in through his connections.
Li Gang did take advantage of this advantage and brought the team to the Chinese Super League. However, after arriving in the Chinese Super League, there were calls within the club to invite famous coaches to coach the team.
Let Li Gang continue to coach.
The Huaxia Club has actually been contacting famous European and American coaches who are unemployed at home for a long time, waiting for Li Gang to replace him at any time when his coaching performance is not good.
In the final analysis, Li Gang is a transitional figure arranged by the club.
If Li Gang wants to stay as the head coach of the Huaxia Club, he will basically have no chance without particularly outstanding results.
This is very different from Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng took over the team when it was in the amateur league, replacing the players step by step, completing the tactics step by step, and laying a solid foundation step by step. Not to mention that Zhang Sheng is the son of the boss and the actual owner of the club.
.
After traveling back in time, Zhang Sheng, who was in the system, could take his time, but Li Gang could not.
Zhang Sheng only hopes that Li Gang can absorb more lessons from this doomed coaching experience and lay the foundation for him to coach other teams in the future.
After this game, the good news for the Longteng team is that all the selected players of the Longteng team who participated in the national youth and national youth friendly matches are back. This is very beneficial to the Longteng team's game three days later, because the next game is the AFC Champions League.
In this AFC Champions League, all four Chinese Super League teams qualified first in their group, which gave domestic fans great confidence.
It should be said that the good results of the Chinese Super League teams have made the scope of domestic football reach a higher level than in history.
Historically, no matter how good Guangzhou Evergrande’s performance is, maybe people in central and western China or the north just don’t buy it; no matter how many good foreign players Shanghai SIPG has, fans outside Shanghai, who have a reputation for xenophobia, just can’t stand it; Jiangsu Suninghua
No matter how much money they have, maybe as a province of internal strife, there will still be a lot of people in Jiangsu Province counting on them to be unlucky. As for the Dragons being so popular, there are not a few people who don't like them.
But now there are Guangzhou Evergrande in the south, Shanghai SIPG in the Pearl of the Orient, Jiangsu Suning in Jiangsu Province, and the Longteng team, which has never represented the central region in history.
For fans in various places, there is always something suitable for you. Even people who are not fans may be affected and converted into fans.
In order to cater to the tastes of a large number of people, various media have also attached great importance to this round of the AFC Champions League. As long as they are mainstream media, they will not let go of all kinds of news about the AFC Champions League.
It can be said that a football trend has taken shape again in China.
This time the Longteng team played home first and then away, and their opponent was South Korea's traditional strong team Seoul FC.
Historically, this South Korean team's offensive power is extremely terrifying. They scored 17 goals in six group stage games, with a goal difference of 12. They once swept Buriram United 6-0 away from home and 4-1 at home.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima defeated Shandong Luneng 4:1 in the away game.
This performance has attracted the attention of the whole of Asia.
It was under such circumstances that the Dragons met FC Seoul, not to mention that FC Seoul shouted the slogan of revenge.
Last season, the Longteng team also met FC Seoul after qualifying from the group. With a score of 0:3 in the away game and 2:1 at home, the Longteng team doubled their opponents, which made FC Seoul extremely embarrassed, let alone the away game.
In that game, FC Seoul was completely defeated and was scolded by the domestic media in South Korea.
So before this game, Seoul FC head coach Choi Yong-soo was serious when interviewed by reporters: "Our opponent is the defending champion, and they are very strong. But I believe in our strength and courage."
When a reporter asked about the Dragons' double-play against FC Seoul last season, Choi Yong-soo rarely admitted his mistakes: "Indeed. Last year we underestimated the enemy too much and gave them too many opportunities. But now we won't.
My players and I are all determined to beat our opponents."
Cui Yongzhu said this with confidence.
FC Seoul’s foreign players are very strong this season.
Brazilian forward Adriano was the top scorer in the K-League last season, but he has no experience playing against the Dragons because he only joined FC Seoul in July last year.
The Brazilian forward made his debut at Fluminense, the traditional strong team of the Brazilian League, and once played for the Brazilian giant Palmeiras.
As early as 2011, he joined Dalian Shide, the then dominant Chinese Super League team. Although he also had an amazing performance of scoring five goals in a single game in the Football Association Cup, breaking the record for goals scored in a single game in the Chinese Football Association Cup, overall
Very average.
Adriano stayed in Dalian Shide for a year and a half before being loaned out to Bahia of the Brazilian League by Dalian Shide for a transfer fee of US$3.8 million, including salary contract.
A transfer worth as much as eight million US dollars (the highest price in the Chinese Super League in 2011) proved to be a failure.
Later, in the 2014 season, he went to play for the Daejeon Citizens of South Korea's second-tier league, and he became the league's top scorer that season. His 27 goals were almost twice the number of silver boots that season.
FC Seoul also valued his ability and introduced him to the team. That season, he once again won the Golden Boot of the K-League, South Korea's top league.
Although this player is only 1.70 meters tall and has a relatively thin body, his shooting skills are extremely superb and his dribbling is excellent. Coupled with his good speed, he has become a sharp knife on the front line of FC Seoul. This season
In the AFC Champions League group stage, when Seoul FC defeated Buriram United 6:0 in an away game, he completed his fourth goal.
Another foreign aid is Osmar, the current captain of FC Seoul.
In Korean clubs, especially in giants like Seoul FC, if a foreigner can get the captain's armband, everyone knows what it means. With Korea's strict hierarchical and closed football tradition, we can only say
Osmar's strength far exceeds those in the team.
As a player who came out of the youth training of Racing Santander, a traditional and old team in Spain's La Liga, although he has not made a name for himself in La Liga, he is still pretty good at the Asian level.
With a height of 1.93 meters and a weight of 84 kilograms, he is an extremely strong tank-type player.
But if you think of him as a clumsy player, you would be wrong. Although his speed and flexibility are indeed average, he has become a great player with his excellent defensive ability, excellent overall view, broad vision, and good footwork.
Seoul FC’s real hub of offensive and defensive transitions.
What's even more rare is his excellent header ability and the ability to shoot earth-shattering long shots from outside the penalty area.
As the on-field captain of FC Seoul, he is well-deserved.
As for the other foreign player, he is an old acquaintance of the Longteng team, and that is Deyang, who returned to South Korea's K-League from Beijing Guoan at the beginning of this season.
As an old man who has been playing for FC Seoul in 2008 and has been playing in the K League for seven years, he is called a "living legend" by Korean football.
When he returned to FC Seoul this time, he didn't need to familiarize himself with the team again. He integrated directly into the team and lived up to his reputation as "Ibrahimovic of Asia".
Seoul FC's last foreign player is also from Asia, and his name is also huge - he comes from Japan's former genius player Yojiro Takahagi.
As a former Japan international, Yojiro Takahagi's strength is undoubted. His position on the field is extremely flexible. He can play as a shadow forward, right winger, attacking midfielder, right midfielder, central midfielder, defensive midfielder, and right back.
Yojiro Takahagi also joined FC Seoul in the middle of last season. He previously played for Western Sydney Wanderers. The Dragons had played against both FC Seoul and Western Sydney Wanderers before, but he perfectly avoided the Dragons.
, but in the season when the Dragons first entered the Chinese Super League, Yojiro Takahagi was still with Guangzhou Sanfrecce. That time he had a record of playing against the Dragons in the AFC Champions League.
Even so, Yojiro Takaki did not escape the fate of being defeated by the Dragons. In that game, the Dragons eliminated Hiroshima Sanfrecce with a score of 2:1 away and 0:1 at home, relying on the advantage of more away goals.
It can be said that this game is also a battle of revenge for Yojiro Takahagi.
