As a goalkeeper who has been trained by FC Seoul from a college team, Ryu Sang-hoon has his own characteristics. In addition to being good at saving penalties, he is not the kind of goalkeeper who often excels, but his stability in front of the goal has always been his greatest
With him on the field, FC Seoul’s players will feel more at ease with the goal.
Historically, after this season, Ryu Sang-hoon went to serve in the army in 1989. As a result, in the 2017 season, Seoul FC was beaten by opponents many times and even conceded five goals in one game. This shows Ryu Sang-hoon's importance to the team.
sex.
In the next 21st minute, the Longteng team got a corner kick. Although FC Seoul center back Kim Won-sik grabbed the first point and pushed the ball out of the penalty area, the second point on the outside was taken by Ben Alpha, who was
A powerful volley in front of the penalty area was dragged off the crossbar by Ryu Sang-hoon's fist.
At the 25th minute, it was Qi Ming's turn to exert his strength. He was also a midfielder. He used his hands to fend off the intrusion of Yojiro Takaki in front of the penalty area and volleyed vigorously. As a result, due to the interference of Yojiro Takaki,
The football was slightly over the crossbar.
"The Dragons have been attacking very hard during this period." Liu Jiayuan looked at the situation on the field happily, "FC Seoul is not very used to the full-court press of the Dragons. It can gain an advantage in a pure confrontation with the Korean team.
, at least among Chinese Super League teams, it’s rare.”
"The players of the Dragon Team are famous in the Chinese Super League for liking confrontation and advocating confrontation." Zhou Ning is obviously familiar with the tactics of the Dragon Team. "Especially since the beginning of this season, they often deliberately speed up the pace and strengthen confrontation in the game.
.In addition, the players in their team generally have good foot skills, so it is worthy of their reputation to be ranked first in the Chinese Super League."
Just when Zhou Ning was praising the Dragons, FC Seoul used the players' personal abilities to find opportunities in the offense.
This time, Adriano received a pass from Yojiro Takaki, completely getting rid of Xiang Tiange's defense, and formed a single attack on the left.
Zhou Ning said before that the Longteng team has a fast pace and strong confrontation, but the price they pay is instability on the defensive line. Sometimes the opponent's simple and direct playing style can cause trouble for the Longteng team's overall high-pressure formation.
Adriano relied on his smart movement to get the chance this time.
As a foreign aid who is not strong, Adriano is not the kind of striker who can push away opponents in the frontcourt and then make a strong breakthrough. He relies more on his cunning in running positions and good footwork.
Techniques to gain shooting opportunities.
After getting the one-on-one ball, Adriano seemed a little less confident. At this time, Huang Dawei had decisively attacked to block his shot from the near corner, and right center back Du Zhenyu also quickly came over to block his shot from the far corner.
The volley hit the angle of the arc, and Ma Yongli was stuck in front of Dejan, preventing Adriano from passing the ball back in an inverted triangle.
Faced with such a situation, Adriano hesitated. When he saw Huang Dawei rushing over to get the ball at his feet like a tiger pouncing on food, Adriano was flustered and shot a powerful shot, causing the ball to miss.
Live, flying high over the beam.
Although Adriano's ball did not score, Liu Jiayuan was still shocked: "FC Seoul scored one goal, but fortunately Adriano hit the ball high. Thanks to Huang Dawei's very timely attack, but be careful later, FC Seoul
The counterattack speed is pretty good.”
Seoul FC's counterattack this time did not allow the Longteng team to weaken its offense at all. Under Zhang Sheng's command, the team instead strengthened its offensive. In Zhang Sheng's view, he wanted to completely suppress the offense of a team like Seoul FC and
It's not very realistic. The best way is to press them as much as possible, give them enough defensive pressure, let them focus more on defense, and nip their counterattack in the bud.
"The Dragons have once again sped up the tempo of the game. This is not simple." Liu Jiayuan was very surprised. "The tempo of the AFC Champions League is already fast enough. Now they are still speeding up the tempo to ensure that they do not make mistakes under the high tempo.
Can physical fitness be guaranteed?"
Not only Liu Jiayuan, but also Zhou Ning, who has often commented on the Dragons and admired the Dragons very much, also raised questions: "It is indeed debatable to proactively seek confrontation with a Korean team like Seoul FC. The Dragons are strong in their foot skills.
, using long strikes and short strikes, and using quick foot passes to stretch the opponent's space like before, I think this is the safest way for the Longteng team."
In fact, Zhang Sheng has not thought about using the previous tactics when facing Asia's top teams, but in Zhang Sheng's view, it will not help improve the players' ability in competitions.
Especially the players in your own team, they are very likely to participate in the World Cup in the future, or even go to Europe to play in the Europa League and the Champions League.
In that kind of high-level competition, even if you actively seek to fight against others, it is very likely that others will chase you to fight against you. In addition, players at that level generally have good foot skills. At this time, you can
Under the premise of high-intensity confrontation, it has become the key to be able to use one's own skills.
Therefore, Zhang Sheng would rather let the players take the initiative at the Asian level than wait until they reach that environment and then have to adapt with difficulty.
And the players on the field did not disappoint Zhang Sheng.
At this time, the game had unknowingly reached the end of the first half. After the Longteng team strengthened their rhythm, it was really difficult for Seoul FC to have a good counterattack opportunity.
Although their players tried many times to directly start from the backcourt to find people on the forward line, under the high-intensity confrontation, the accuracy and placement of the pass were average. Dejan and Adriano had several encounters.
There were several shots, but most of them didn't pose much of a threat, because they didn't get the ball so easily, and their positions often went in the direction of the goal. Of course, Huang Dawei didn't waste much time on shooting.
The Longteng team was different. Amid the crazy cheers of the home fans, the players completed several good shots, allowing FC Seoul's goalkeeper Ryu Sang-hoon to do his best to keep the goal.
Scores on the football field are often a probabilistic event. The more threatening shots, the greater the possibility of scoring. With continuous hits and saves, the Longteng team finally ushered in its own goal.
's goal.
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Ben Arfa formed a breakthrough after receiving a pass from Roque Gill on the left.
After conceding a goal in the first half, FC Seoul stepped up their marking on Ben Arfa.
Even though they had fully considered Ben Arfa's individual combat ability before the game, Ben Arfa still created a free kick opportunity and scored a goal. Therefore, after conceding the ball, Seoul FC responded to him.
The defense is tighter, and if a foul is possible, he will never think for a second, even if it means risking a card.
But by this time, the Dragons' ultra-fast pace and ultra-high-intensity confrontation made the players of FC Seoul no longer as physically fit as before.
After Ben Alfa got the ball this time, when he accelerated to change direction, the right center back Jin Nanchun who was responsible for defending him was a step too slow, allowing Ben Alfa to cross half of his body. When Jin Nanchun wanted to foul again, Ben Alfa.
Alpha has already left. As for their right wing back Gao Yaohan, who is responsible for returning defense on the right, he is far away from Alpha.
As the deep-lying central defender, Kim Won-sik and the defensive midfielder Osmar, who was responsible for the sweep, had to come together to defend Jin Nanchun. They wanted to close the door with a double ghost to stifle Ben Alpha's offense outside the penalty area.
If it were Ben Alpha before he came to the Dragons, he would have been so stubborn that he would take the ball all the way into the penalty area.
But things are different now. When dribbling the ball at high speed, Ben. Alpha is used to raising his head instead of keeping his head down. He has already observed this situation.
Before hitting the "firewall" formed by FC Seoul, Ben Alpha passed the ball decisively. Before passing the ball, he also pretended to dribble the ball to the bottom line. After deceiving both Kim Won-sik and Osmar,
After coming over, Ben Alpha passed the ball.
His pass was very powerful, high and floating, and it looked like it was going to the back point on the right.
"Ben Alpha's pass! This ball? Hey! Xiang Tiange is coming up. The right wing is empty. Xiang Tiange is so fast." Liu Jiayuan shouted in surprise, "Xiang Tiange didn't defend.
, Tao Wentao helped him attract all FC Seoul’s defensive players away.”
Xiang Tiange also increased his speed to the extreme this time, rushing all the way from the half court. Facing Ben Alpha's pass, his stop was not the kind of stopping the ball at his feet, but
He directly stopped the ball and bounced it three meters in front of him. Anyway, no one was guarding him at this time.
After he caught up with the football, Xiang Tiange didn't even pause and went all the way into the penalty area.
At this time, FC Seoul's left center back Kim Dong-woo was breathing heavily and chasing after him at a heavy pace.
Next, under Jin Dongyou's horrified eyes, Xiang Tiange suddenly changed direction while dribbling the ball at high speed. He ran diagonally towards the center of the penalty area, and then shot decisively before Jin Dongyou desperately stretched out his leg.
Already.
Xiang Tiange's shot was very powerful, and it also drew an extremely weird arc. The ball seemed to have been kicked. After bypassing Liu Xiangxun's saving arm, it hung into the far corner of the goal.
The junction of the doorpost and lintel.
"A beautiful shot, a stroke of genius!" Liu Jiayuan shouted excitedly, "Xiang Tiange's shot, it's a magic ball, haha! I guess Xiang Tiange himself didn't expect that he would kick such a beautiful shot!"
"Indeed. The Longteng team scored again, and it was such a beautiful goal." Zhou Ning was also very happy, "But it's time to score one. The Longteng team missed so many shots in front of them, so they have to score one."
It’s worthy of the high-tempo confrontation and crazy offense ahead.”
Xiang Tiange, who scored a goal to expand the score, was extremely excited at this time. As a very typical offensive full-back, he is good at rushing in and assisting from the wing. His shooting ability can only be regarded as average. Unexpectedly, this time he actually
Create a world wave.
After scoring the goal, Xiang Tiange didn't expect that his shot would go in. He was stunned for a moment before starting to celebrate.
In the young team of Longteng, competition is very fierce, especially on the wing. Longteng has accumulated a lot of good players. Most of these players are young and energetic, and there are few who are just dawdling.
Xiang Tiange has Zhou Zhou on the right, and although a player like Huang He can come on as a substitute, let alone a highly capable foreign player like De Paul waiting for him later.
Being able to score a key goal in an important game will be of great benefit to stabilizing Xiang Tiange's main position.
The Longteng team's offense at the end of the first half completely stunned FC Seoul.
After another kick-off, Adriano insisted on taking the ball personally, but was stopped by the Longteng team in the midfield before he could take a few steps forward. After that, the Longteng team's offense almost scored again through Nie Jiang.
"Haha! FC Seoul is in a bit of a hurry here." Seeing that his league team was embarrassing its opponents, Liu Jiayuan said in anguish, "Cui Yongzhu is also a famous young coach in South Korea. Facing the command of coach Zhang Sheng, at least this
They were at a disadvantage in the first half."
At this time, Choi Yong-soo on the sidelines was also angry and shouted loudly at the court, asking the Seoul FC players to concentrate, not to rush forward, and to defend the first half.
Finally, after paying a yellow card for midfielder Zhu Shizhong's foul on Ben Alpha, FC Seoul managed to hold on to the first half. The Longteng team relied on two local players Tao Wentao and Xiang Tiange to score a goal each, with a score of 2:0.
Ended the first half.
During the halftime break, the Dragons were talking and laughing in the home team's locker room. However, the visiting team's locker room at FC Seoul didn't know whether it was the shabby feeling deliberately created by the home team or the low morale after falling behind. The whole room seemed to have entered.
Just like the harsh winter, everyone acted cautiously.
After being silent for a while, Choi Yong-soo severely criticized the team's performance in the first half: "This is not a familiar team. Faced with the opponent's pressing, you were in a hurry and retreated. We, the Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea, were in a hurry.
Where has my spirit gone?”
As a head coach with rich coaching experience, Cui Yongzhu also knows that victory cannot be achieved by talking about spirit alone. After criticizing the team, he began to make tactical adjustments.
"Deyang. You withdraw from the center position. Adriano, you step forward a little and cooperate with Deyang to find the second position at any time." Cui Yongzhu changed the positions of the two forwards, "Deyang, you
To take advantage of your header, their defensive midfielder Rock Gill and defensive midfielder swingman Ma Wynn's header ability can only be said to be average. You have to play the role of a bridgehead in the front point, and Adriano,
You have to take advantage of your speed. Their formation is high and you must hit behind their defense."
"Kim Won-sik. Your position is slightly ahead, and Osmar is retreating slightly to attack Nie Jiang. Try to give him as few opportunities as possible to dribble and make plays. He is a key node in the Longteng team's frontcourt tactics." Choi Yong-soo Zhang
He opened his hands and made a stranglehold, "If we can't fight at this point, their attack from the wing will have no power."
After adjusting his tactics, Cui Yongzhu encouraged him again, "Last time, we lost. I don't want to see this result again this time. You should also know the consequences."
