Although Xiang Tiange's goal failed to score, not only the fans in the stands, but also Zhang Sheng on the sidelines gave him applause.
Since Xiang Tiange scored a beautiful goal in the AFC Champions League last time, the winger seems to have found the confidence to shoot. He began to frequently use his speed and technical advantages to form inner goals in the game.
Cutting shots. With his improvement, he is becoming more and more like a modern winger.
This shot also received praise from two commentators. Liu Jianhong said: "Xiang Tiange is getting better and better now, and the more he plays, the more confident he is. He has good speed. Whether he is defending, passing by, or assisting on the wing,
Every shot has a hand."
"Xiang Tiange's appearance reminds me of Wu Chengying, the former winger in our country." Huang Jianxiang obviously also admires Xiang Tiange, "He is also a winger, and he has become famous at the age of 18.
Wu Chengying was selected for the national team at the age of 19. Even his family conditions are similar. There have been few such excellent wingers in China over the years, and now someone has finally taken over."
Huang Jianxiang is right, Xiang Tiange is indeed very similar to Wu Chengying in some aspects.
Wu Chengying's family conditions are very good. His great-grandfather was the military minister of the Qing Dynasty, his father was a professor of mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and his mother was an employee of a state-owned enterprise. Xiang Tiange's family is not bad either. His father is one of the best hospitals in Jiangcheng City.
He is the chief physician and also serves as a professor at the university. His mother is an employee of a large state-owned enterprise, and his family status is among the best in Jiangcheng City. He is on par with Wu Chengying.
In terms of playing style, Xiang Tiange is also known for his fearless charges from the wing and fierce defense, which is the same as Wu Chengying.
Of course, Xiang Tiange is not without its shortcomings.
First of all, in terms of defense, Xiang Tiange is a bit inexperienced. Although he has strong back-and-forth ability, he is often hit behind because he rushes too hard and cannot come back. In addition, Xiang Tiange's reverse foot
The disadvantaged foot is too obvious - his right foot's ability to dribble and shoot is too poor. Before he shot just now, he had to make a slight adjustment before shooting with his left foot. It was that adjustment that allowed Guangzhou Heng to shoot.
The big defensive player took an extra step and had to aim a little further outside when shooting. The corresponding football also missed the goal slightly.
And compared with Wu Chengying, Xiang Tiange lacks one unique skill - Wu Chengying's positioning ball processing ability is far superior to Xiang Tiange.
However, Xiang Tiange's current ability value is only 78. Compared with his potential value of 82, there is still room for growth. Especially once he can pass the threshold of 80, his general ability will be significantly improved, which means that Xiang Tiange has a bright future.
Can be expected.
In fact, this attack is a commonly used tactic since the beginning of this season, which is to use Qi Ming's good ball shooting ability and accurate long passes to counterattack with long passes in a timely manner.
As early as the second season of the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng was thinking about optimizing the Longteng team's offense - making full use of the width of the court to counterattack with long passes while ensuring fast short-pass coordination - to achieve the length of the offense.
combine.
In the past, in order to ensure the core short-passing tactics of the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng often chose players with better short- and medium-passing skills when recruiting players. Now the team's short-passing tactics have taken shape, and there are enough players.
reserves, then calling players with the ability to pass long balls becomes another option for Zhang Sheng, and players with excellent qualifications like Qi Ming, who are good at both long and shortcomings, just make up for Zhang Sheng's tactical demands.
This attack of the Longteng team made Scolari no longer so calm on the sidelines. He made a gesture to Alan on the right, asking him to retreat quickly and not to let Qi Ming pass in easily.
Although Scolari's choice will make Alan consume more physical energy, it also really squeezes the space for the Longteng team to counterattack quickly. Of course, only a world-renowned head coach like Scolari can make Alan think so highly of himself.
The tall forward honestly responded and actively defended as required.
As for Martinez, the new aid who has been criticized this season, objectively it has also put a lot of pressure on Alan, forcing Alan to consider the consequences of disobedience.
After Qi Ming's attack point was slightly restricted, although the situation on the field was still with the Longteng team as the main attacker and Guangzhou Evergrande as the main defender, the Longteng team's threatening attacks gradually decreased, and the two sides were still getting closer.
This half of the midfield of Guangzhou Evergrande is struggling.
When the two teams are in a delicate balance on the court, it is often the moment when the stars on the court stand up. Zhang Sheng also quickly thought of this, and he immediately chose Ben Alpha.
At the 27th minute of the first half, Zhang Sheng took advantage of the team's opportunity to get a sideline ball and called Ben Arfa to his side and gave instructions: "Rush up and use breakthroughs to disrupt the opponent's rhythm."
Ben Alpha also nodded to show that he understood.
Soon, it turned out that Ben Alpha strengthened his breakthrough from the wing.
In the 29th minute, after receiving Qi Ming's pass, Ben Arfa no longer slowly formed a cooperation with his teammates, but suddenly started to speed up the wing.
Paulinho, who was responsible for defending Ben Alpha, was very focused and decisively used his body to squeeze Ben Alpha. At the same time, Alan on the wing also actively defended and flanked Ben Alpha with Paulinho.
Before Ben Alpha advanced more than five meters, Paulinho destroyed the ball out of the wing, and the Longteng team's attack was terminated.
Next, Ben Alpha continued to use his good foot skills and strong impact to continuously pose a threat on the left. Scolari was keenly aware of the Longteng team's offensive method, and he shifted the focus of defense to
On the left, Qi Ming's pass was blocked at the same time, preventing the Longteng team from having the opportunity to transfer a wide range of long passes. After all, Ben Alpha's long pass ability can be ignored.
The effect of Scolari's tactics was obvious. After using Paulinho to strengthen the marking of Ben Arfa, the Longteng team's offense was slowed down again.
Zhang Sheng looked at Scolari on the sidelines with some confusion. Now Guangzhou Evergrande is one goal behind, but it has made it clear that it will continue to strengthen its defense. Paulinho is now Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield offensive hammer, but now he
He puts all his energy into defense, shouldn't he stop attacking?
Zhang Sheng has long heard of Scolari's stubbornness and conservatism, but will he be willing to accept failure?
While Zhang Sheng was still thinking, Guangzhou Evergrande showed its fangs.
In the 35th minute of the first half, the Longteng team, which had persisted for most of the game, relaxed a little in its pressing rhythm. Guangzhou Evergrande immediately gave the Longteng team a sap.
Jin Yingquan, who was holding the ball in the backcourt, was not disturbed. After looking up at his teammates in the frontcourt, he directly made a big long pass to Gao Lin on the left.
The basis of the Longteng team's tactics is to consume more troops to double-team, so there are bound to be many loopholes in the backcourt. Guangzhou Evergrande targets this weakness.
When the ball was passed to Gao Lin, he caught the ball very beautifully. Facing the football falling high, his right foot steadily removed the ball in mid-air. The football seemed to have no elasticity and was firmly held by him.
Got it under control.
At this time, the right wing-back Xiang Tiange is still in front and has not come back. The right midfielder Tao Wentao is also a little far away from Gao Lin. If Gao Lin's kick stops normally and requires another adjustment, Tao Wentao still has a chance to catch up and close in.
Now after Gao Lin completed this beautiful catch, he immediately started dribbling the ball at high speed. Although Tao Wentao rushed over immediately, he was still left behind by Gao Lin.
After feeling someone approaching from behind, Gao Lin, who had been observing the position of his teammate while dribbling the ball, kicked the ball and passed it. The flight path of the ball was not straight, but with an obvious arc. Also at high speed
Although right center back Du Zhenyu, who was returning to defense, stretched out his foot while running at high speed in the hope of blocking the ball, the ball still passed his legs and reached the center of the penalty area.
Goulart's running position is also very smart. He first made a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area, then suddenly stopped and changed direction and ran between Du Zhenyu and Ma Yongli, just in the path of Gao Lin's pass. Even if there was
Ma Yongli's interference and Goulart's push shot succeeded in grabbing the point.
Even though Huang Dawei made a save, he still couldn't stop this extremely fast shot. The ball flew into the net under the impact of Goulart's left foot.
Guangzhou Evergrande used an extremely sharp long pass to quickly counterattack and equalize the game.
"The ball is in! A shot from Goulart!" Liu Jianhong was still discussing with Huang Jianxiang the advantages of the Longteng team's current overall strength. Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack this time almost made him unable to react. In the past, a common goal was
, entered, advanced without shouting, "Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack is really sharp, sophisticated, and fatal with one blow."
As a veteran Serie A anchor, Huang Jianxiang highly praised Guangzhou Evergrande's offensive tactics this time: "Your description is so apt. What is heritage? This is the heritage of a veteran strong team. The 'old lady' of Serie A, Juventus
It’s this kind of temperament. No matter how fierce the opponent attacks, they rarely make mistakes, but once they are given a chance, even if it is just a few seconds, they will come up with the most effective way to score a goal."
In fact, Guangzhou Evergrande's long pass counterattack style was very common during Cannavaro's coaching period.
After Conca left the team, Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield control dropped drastically. Zheng Long was injured, and Zheng Zhi's age did not support his participation in the entire offensive and defensive process. Cannavaro gave up the meticulous penetration in the middle and started from the backcourt.
Players directly bypass the opponent's midfield to find frontcourt players who can hold the ball, which has become Guangzhou Evergrande's most effective offensive method.
Although Guangzhou Evergrande now has Paulinho, the strongest B2B player in the Chinese Super League, and its strength is not weaker than that of Conca, their opponent Longteng is also stronger. Compared with the midfielders at that time, the
He is a player with an ability value in his early 70s. It is very rare for a midfielder in the current Long Teng team to have an ability value below 80.
When facing other Chinese Super League teams, maybe Guangzhou Evergrande can rely on Paulinho to attract most of the opponent's appeal, and then let several other top domestic players and foreign players in the Chinese Super League open up the situation. Now they encounter
After the Dragons, Paulinho had to put most of his energy into defense, which resulted in the midfield being severely suppressed.
Then the tactic of counterattacking with a long pass became Scolari's most economical choice.
Seeing that his team was scored a goal, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but frown on the sidelines. It seemed that his tactics still had fatal flaws.
In order to follow the most advanced and popular tactics in world football, Zhang Sheng chose the technical mad dog style, but he overestimated his players a little.
That is, the confrontation ability and physical fitness of the current group of players are still far behind those of the players from the five major European leagues.
In Europe's five major leagues, especially those strong teams, there is absolutely no problem in maintaining a high pace and high confrontation for seventy or eighty minutes in the league. In the Champions League, it is even more so for the entire game.
When Zhang Sheng uses the physical fitness of players from the five major European leagues to ask his players to press and fight non-stop, the half-time lasting more than thirty minutes is already the best result of continuous improvement in these years.
When facing most other teams in the Chinese Super League, the Longteng team was able to score early by relying on its strong pressing ability, then hit the ball with the wind, and then made early substitutions to replenish physical strength, and easily won the victory. Now they encounter Guangzhou Evergrande like this
When you have a very resilient team, it's not that easy.
In the early stages of the league, the Longteng team was able to rely on their abundant physical fitness to suppress Evergrande at Guangzhou Evergrande's home court. It was not until the last second of the game that Guangzhou Evergrande evened the score with a controversial penalty kick.
Now that the league has played more than ten rounds, the Longteng team's physical fitness has gradually reached a relatively extreme point. It is impossible to be as aggressive as it was in the early stages of the league, let alone the impact of injuries.
If Lu Zhihui is injured and has a capable substitute like Liming to fill in, the most is that he lacks experience and needs to be more cautious during the game. Then the impact of Chavez's absence will be too great. Zou Weijia, who replaced him, is not working hard enough.
It is simply a lack of strength and experience.
When Chavez is on the court, in addition to being the fulcrum of the team's frontcourt, his turning and shooting abilities are also top-notch in the Super League. But when Zou Weijia works very hard to score, even his fulcrum function is lost.
Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng first gave instructions to the players on the field to retreat slightly in order to prevent their physical fitness from being stolen and a counterattack, or even the formation being out of touch. Then he specifically told Zou Weijia: "Don't.
Be anxious to score, control the landing point, cooperate more with your teammates, and pay attention to counterattacks as soon as possible."
Zou Weijia also nodded nervously, indicating that he understood. Obviously, he also knew that Zhang Sheng was not very satisfied with his previous expression.
As the Longteng team's formation retracted, Guangzhou Evergrande also pushed the formation out in time. Paulinho became active again and participated in the attack. However, the Longteng team's center Zou Weijia no longer obsessed with scoring goals and began to go all out.
He devoted himself to the pressing in the frontcourt, and the situation on the court was really balanced now.
