After the start of this focus game, both sides seemed very cautious.
The Longteng team's offense is a bit raw, mainly because of the large rotation of the lineup.
In order to ensure the safety of the backcourt, the three main center backs are the starters, and other positions have been partially adjusted.
Xiang Tiange's position was replaced by Huang He; the three midfielders of Qi Ming, Roque Gil and Tao Wentao also became Yu Bo, Roque Gil and Xiong Jian; on the front line, De Paul replaced Ben Alpha
, Zou Weijia continues to start in place of Chavez, and behind him is the young player Zeng Fengfeng with excellent foot skills.
On the Shanghai SIPG side, due to the disastrous defeat in the last round, morale was obviously low. At the same time, the team's top player Ji'an was not only injured and unable to play for a long time, but also had conflicts with the club during this period; the team's other leading forward
Elkerson seems to have been hollowed out by the previous seasons and no longer has the courage he once had. He has been injured and stopped in Shanghai SIPG, and his form has also been ups and downs. SIPG suffered a huge defeat in the last game.
It also has something to do with the fact that he didn't put enough pressure on his opponents.
On the other hand, there are constant news about "Hulk" Hulk's frequent contact with Shanghai SIPG. Unfortunately, the distant water cannot save the near fire.
Elkerson's state in this game was really average. The Longteng team had some problems with their offense. The midfielder led by Roque Gill was very defensive against Conca.
The mentality of both sides based on defense made the game extremely dull. In the first half, except for Zeng Wengwen who performed a few tricks in the attacking midfielder position, which made the fans of the home Longteng team burst into cheers several times, the rest of the time was lackluster.
When the entire first half passed, the total number of shots taken by both sides was only four, and they were all long-range shots from outside the penalty area. It can be said that the goalkeepers on both sides did not break a sweat during the half.
During the halftime break, Shen Fangjian, who was commentating on the game, also looked weak: "The pace of the game in the first half was very slow, and both sides made many mistakes. We will see if there will be any changes after the substitutions and adjustments made by both sides in the second half."
What a change."
However, the head coaches of both sides did not seem to hear the commentator's suggestion. In the second half of the game, the original team was still on the court performing Tai Chi.
Just when the drowsy spectators who were hypnotized by the game thought that this was the game, after more than half of the game, the Longteng team first showed improvement.
In the 12th minute of the second half, Zeng Prosperity, who was the first to enter the game, made an extremely penetrating through ball about 30 meters from Shanghai SIPG's half and handed the ball to DePaul, who cut quickly from the left.
The player suddenly stopped and changed speed at the edge of the penalty area, shook away the player defending him, and then shot the ball straight into the upper right corner of the goal in an arc.
SIPG goalkeeper Yan Junling showed his ability as a national competitor. He stretched out his arm to open his palm to the maximum, and his fingertips touched the football, causing the football to change its direction slightly. Finally, the ball hit the right post of the goal.
Flying beyond the bottom line.
De Paul's shot was like a thunderbolt, making the excitement of the game boil like boiling water.
Not long after the Longteng team truly threatened Shanghai SIPG's goal for the first time, the latter also played a beautiful attack, initiated by Konca.
In the fourteenth minute of the second half, Konka received a pass from Cai Huikang after a steal in the midfield near the left. His eyes looked to the right, and his body's center of gravity seemed to be leaning to the right. As a result, his ankle squirmed.
Shaking, he passed the ball to the left. The foreign aid Evra, who had been moving on the right, also changed his position to the left. After receiving the pass from Conca, he used his speed to get rid of Huang, who was a little unprepared.
Crane then made a pass from the base and accurately found Elkeson in the penalty area. The latter's header was extremely powerful. Although the angle was slightly misunderstood, it missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline, but it was
Zhang Sheng was shocked.
The two tall central defenders in the penalty area actually failed to prevent Elkeson's header, which made Zhang Sheng very angry. He rushed to the sidelines and yelled at Liming and Du Zhenyu to ask them to concentrate.
.
After two consecutive high-quality shots, the competition on the field became fierce.
Even the commentator Shen Fangjian was interested: "This is the game between the first in the league and the fourth in the league. Both teams played too conservatively."
In the 22nd minute of the second half, the Longteng team first broke the deadlock on the court.
The Longteng team received a frontcourt throw-in from the left. Yu Bo used a special skill that he had practiced for a long time - a strong hand throw. His throw was fast and far, and the ball passed four or five players.
Later, when he reached the edge of the penalty area, Zeng Wengrong did not make any pause when facing the ball. He used the ball with his feet. De Paul quickly intervened and volleyed with the outside of the left foot and broke through Yan Junling's fingers. The Longteng team
1:0 lead!
"Beautiful! De Paul's shot went in, and the Longteng team suddenly exerted its strength and took the lead." As the famous "Longteng team blower", Shen Fangjian started to attack Zeng Prosperity after scoring a goal outside the routine introduction.
Praising, "Although De Paul shot the ball beautifully, Zeng Wengrong's pass was even more beautiful. It was so easy and freehand."
"This young player Zeng Wengrong is only 18 years old." Shen Fangjian began to introduce in detail, "He is another new star trained by the Longteng Club itself, and he is the most typical Longteng player - coached by Zhang Sheng
Digging, he received youth training at the Longteng Football School for a long time, and then he was promoted from the youth training teams at all levels to the first team again and again. After being loaned to the Chinese League One and participating in a large number of games, he officially returned. We have seen this in the Longteng Club over the years.
There are a lot of outstanding young players who suddenly shine in front of us in an important game. It can only be said that the youth training results of Longteng Club are too fruitful."
"Actually, he performed very well in the Chinese League One last year." Shen Fangjian's partner Liu Jingjie quickly reported Zeng Fengfeng's statistics, "He was loaned to Qingdao Huanghai by the Longteng team last season and participated in the second round.
In thirteen Chinese League One games, he helped the team score three goals and provided six assists. He has always been the absolute main midfielder of Qingdao Huanghai. His ability to play the main role in the club at the age of seventeen is evident.
."
Shanghai SIPG, which was one goal behind, quickly completed personnel adjustments. Young player Hu Jinghang was replaced by Lu Wenjun. Head coach Eriksson obviously hoped to strengthen the impact of the frontcourt.
This substitution quickly bore fruit.
In the 27th minute of the second half, SIPG's Jin Zhourong made a long pass from the backcourt and directly found Evra on the right. The latter's speed was obviously more advantageous than Yu Bo. He was one step behind Yu Bo.
, kicked the ball to the center with a back pass, because Yu Bo left the defensive position in the center, Lu Wenjun pressed forward in the penalty area, the Longteng team's center back retreated, and finally Elkeson attracted Ma Yongli and Roque.
After Gill's defensive attention, Conca was released at the top of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Conca took a long shot from outside the penalty area.
Conca's intervention and shot were so sudden that Huang Dawei was too late to save. In the end, the ball went directly into the net. It was a world-beating goal.
"Conka is still Conca! He is indeed the key man." Shen Fangjian said with emotion, "At least in the Chinese Super League, Conca is top-notch. Whether it is in Guangzhou Evergrande or Shanghai SIPG, the more critical the moment, the more important it is.
It shows his ability."
Liu Jingjie was also full of praise: "This is a 33-year-old veteran, but his goal at this moment tells us that his forward consciousness and shooting ability are still there. The tiger's glory is still there."
Zhang Sheng was very dissatisfied with the goal conceded. Yu Bo, as the transition point between offense and defense on the left, lost his position, allowing Evra to rush forward easily. It can be said that he has to bear more than half of the responsibility for the goal conceded.
Although Zhang Sheng has always wanted to train Yu Bo, a player who is strong, can rush and run, but now it seems that he has never made much progress in terms of golf intelligence. The system is really a system. Once it is explained
Since this player does not have the potential to increase his attributes through special training, it is basically impossible to grow after his ability reaches its peak.
Considering Yu Bo's current state, Zhang Sheng also immediately made substitutions, and Yu Bo was replaced by another young player, Cao Jinghao.
After Cao Jinghao came on the field, he used his good positional sense, accurate movement, and strong short passing ability, especially accurate long passing, to frequently create offensive opportunities on the left until Cai Huikang received a yellow card.
Kesen had to make adjustments again and asked Yu Haiyang to strengthen the defense in the middle.
Seeing the changes on the field, Shen Fangjian was a little speechless: "The Longteng team has too many back-up players. Ben Alpha is not available. They are still so strong on the wing."
"Now that I think about it, the Longteng team really misses the clubs in South Korea and Japan." Liu Jingjie also extended the idea, "There are always many substitute players in their team who can play on the field, and they are all still very young."
As if hearing the commentator's voice, Zhang Sheng made another substitution. Zeng Fusheng, who was too excited about this game, had physical problems. He was replaced by another young midfielder Yan Xiaoyu.
Compared with Zeng Wengrong, who relies more on his strong foot skills to make breakthroughs, Yan Xiaoyu is a typical attacking midfielder. His first pass after coming on the field gave Zou Weijia a wonderful through ball.
It's a pity that Zou Weijia is not the kind of forward who can use speed to advance quickly. In the end, Jin Zhourong took the lead and destroyed the Longteng team's attack.
"Beautiful!" Shen Fangjian also loudly applauded Yan Xiaoyu's pass, "You really have an idea. This player, despite his low profile, really dares to pass the ball."
In order to take advantage of Yan Xiaoyu's passing ability, Zhang Sheng once again made adjustments to the formation. Shen Jun replaced Zou Weijia, and De Paul was moved to the front line.
This seemingly switching of full-backs to centers is for defense, but it actually makes the Longteng team's frontcourt offensive threat even greater. De Paul uses his speed to constantly fight between Shanghai SIPG's midfielder and center-back.
Interspersed, making full use of Yan Xiaoyu's ability to pass the ball behind the ball.
Yan Junling, who conceded four goals in the last game, was in excellent form in this game. He made several beautiful attacks and blocked many threatening shots from the Longteng team with his high saves.
And Shen Fangjian focused more on Yan Xiaoyu: "The same height of less than 1.7 meters, the same beautiful escape, plus the same passing ability, this is simply the opposite team SIPG.
A replica of Kongka!”
At this time, Zhang Sheng kept applauding the young players on the court and gave them more encouragement.
"Director Zhang Sheng is really brave to employ people." Shen Fangjian admired Zhang Sheng for trusting these young players so much. "Ben Alpha didn't even play in this game. Is it true that there were rumors that he was going to return to Europe?"
?Director Zhang Sheng is preparing for the departure of Ben Alpha?"
In fact, Shen Fangjian is right. Ben Arfa has signed a transfer contract with Nice. Nice team attaches great importance to this transfer. They not only hope that Ben Arfa can return to France, but they also hope that he can return to France.
Establish a relationship with the Longteng team and introduce Chinese players to play in the Ligue 1.
As the Dragons missed opportunities continuously, this much-anticipated battle came to an end. In the end, Shanghai SIPG was lucky enough to draw with the Dragons in the away game.
After this game, the Chinese Super League entered the second intermission period of the season to make way for the international match day.
It's a pity that most of the players on the Longteng team don't have time to rest. Not only will the Chinese national team have two warm-up matches, but the National Olympic team will also have warm-up matches to prepare for the Olympics, including the National Youth and National Junior Teams.
There are a large number of Dragons players in teams at all levels.
After consecutive draws in the AFC Champions League and the league, the Longteng team seemed a bit sluggish.
Coincidentally, none of the four teams participating in the AFC Champions League won. Guangzhou Evergrande even lost to Shanghai Shenhua in an away game. This was the first time Evergrande lost to Shenhua after being promoted to the Chinese Super League.
It can be seen that the frequent double matches a week have an impact on these teams.
Although the Longteng team only got a draw, the points gap with second place Guangzhou Evergrande widened to three points, which is quite unexpected.
The warm-up match opponents Perrin chose for the national team this time are Kazakhstan and the Central and North American team Trinidad and Tobago. Because the Chinese team is in a group with South Korea and Iran in the world preliminaries, in his opinion, China
If the team can qualify by finishing third in the group at most, then the most likely possibility is to defeat the third place team in another group, get the fifth place in the top 12 in Asia, and then play the play-offs with the fourth-place team in Central and North America.
, so the game against Trinidad and Tobago even has the flavor of simulating the "World Cup play-offs" in advance.
Zhang Sheng was extremely disdainful of Peilan's subconscious idea. He had already thought of playing in the play-offs before the World Cup preliminaries started. This would send an extremely bad signal to the team - we could not beat South Korea and Iran.
When the time comes, just keep third place in the group.
If the players play games against South Korea and Iran with this idea, the results can be imagined.
Think about how the Belt Team taught players in history: "You are the best players in Asia. Most of you have defeated your opponents in the club. The victory must belong to us."
This is the difference in confidence between the world's top coaches and ordinary coaches.
