As one of the few clubs in the Chinese Super League that was developed based on a prefecture-level city, Yanbian Fude's shortcomings are inherent.
The total economic output is low, the population is relatively small, and the majority of players are Koreans, an ethnic minority. No one suffers very much if they don't have money.
However, as a region with one of the best domestic football atmospheres in China, they have always been active on the map of Chinese football. Although they are a weak team, they do not play conservatively, running actively on the field, never afraid of physical confrontation, and using their skills to play
The pass on the ground is not just a long pass counterattack, it can be regarded as a breath of fresh air in the Chinese Super League team.
While their playing style is beautiful, their results are not bad either. So far in the league, Yanbian Fude ranks ninth in the league. As a newly promoted team, this is a very good result, and their results at home are particularly advantageous -
Three wins, one draw and one loss--super strong ability to grab points.
The Longteng team, which had just finished the game three days ago, was obviously extremely uncomfortable with Yanbian Fude's crazy pressing.
Yanbian Fude obviously carefully analyzed the last game between Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande. Their foreign center back Petkovic was tall and strong, and he kept pressing Zou Weijia closely, preventing Zou Weijia from moving the ball.
Opportunity. Nie Jiang, another forward of the Longteng team who scored twice in the last game, obviously has some physical problems, and his midfielder Chi Zhongguo was very disappointed.
In addition, Zhang Sheng rotated Tao Wentao and Xiang Tiange in the midfield, resulting in a sharp decline in offensive power throughout the game.
Yanbian Fude took advantage of the power of the home court and took advantage of the Longteng team's lack of physical fitness to play vigorously offensively. Foreign aid Kuai Mastiv kept changing positions to attack the two wings of the Longteng team.
Facing such foreign players who rely purely on speed to play football, the three tall central defenders of the Longteng team looked extremely embarrassed.
In the 18th minute of the first half, Yanbian Fude's South Korean foreign aid Ha Tae-kyun passed a very beautiful through ball, and the ball was inserted into the gap between the two central defenders of the Longteng team.
Steve followed the path of the football and started to speed up. His speed was obviously faster than the Longteng team's central defender. In the blink of an eye, Steve inserted into the penalty area and formed a breakthrough. Then he did not hesitate and started directly.
Huang Dawei was obviously not prepared for the shot. By the time he made the save, the football had already flown into the net.
Yanbian Fude led 1:0 at their home court.
The commentator responsible for commentating on this game had been praising Yanbian Fude from the beginning of the game. After Steve scored, he also said: "Yanbian Fude scored! Although their opponent is the Longteng team,
But what I want to say is that the goal was justified. Yanbian had obviously more chances."
Zhang Sheng was very dissatisfied with this loss of the ball. The players were obviously out of shape. More importantly, the full-court pressing and high-position pressing tactics he required were not reflected at all. On the contrary, the opponent executed these tactics very well.
It is understandable if the state is not good, after all, everyone is very tired after three games in ten days, but if the pressing and pressure are not in place, then it is a problem of attitude.
Zhang Sheng stood on the court and loudly reprimanded the players on the court: "Be active, be active!"
Obviously Zhang Sheng's words were still useful. After losing the ball, the Longteng team started a desperate pressing attack.
It's just that Yanbian Fude's goalkeeper Chi Wenyi didn't give the Longteng team a chance. The goalkeeper who is only 1.83 meters tall continued his hot form this season.
First, after Nie Jiang's long-range shot hit the goal post, he saved Zou Weijia's follow-up shot with extremely fast reaction speed; a few minutes later, Chi Wenyi saved Liming's close-range header from a corner kick.
In the 35th minute of the first half, the Longteng team's pressure in the frontcourt caused Yanbian Fude's defender to make a mistake in returning the ball. In this game, Huang He, who came on as substitute for Xiang Tiange, formed a single goal. Chi Wenyi once again made the key goal.
With a perfect save, he held Huang He's one-on-one shot in his arms and didn't even give the Longteng team a corner kick.
On the contrary, in the 42nd minute, another South Korean foreign aid from Yanbian Fude, Yin Bigalan, showed his excellent free kick characteristics. His direct free kick hit the Longteng team's goal frame and almost extended the score to 2.
:0.
Next, facing the Longteng team who were eager to score, Yanbian Fude made a comeback in the 45th minute. They took advantage of the Longteng team's aggressive formation and launched a fast three-on-three attack in the frontcourt. Qi Ming had to use
A risky foul completed the defense.
While receiving a yellow card, Qi Ming also injured his left knee in the confrontation with his opponent and was carried off the field on a stretcher. Zhang Sheng could only replace him with Zhang Hao unwillingly.
The Dragon Team is really in trouble!
When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, Yanbian Fude unexpectedly led the league leader 1:0.
During the halftime break, the players were all in a very uneasy mood. After all, they were facing a newly promoted team and a poor team. No one expected that they would fall behind, and the head coach's face was also very ugly.
"I don't know what you are thinking." Zhang Sheng said to the players with a gloomy face, "I said before the game that this is a team that works hard in every game."
After a pause for a few seconds, Zhang Sheng's words went straight to the hearts of the players: "Do you think we are number one in the league now? We defeated Evergrande. You are all talents selected for national teams at all levels. You are very good."
Amazing?"
"The current score is the lesson that reality teaches you. If anyone underestimates football, football will give him the most realistic result." Zhang Sheng said earnestly, and made substitution adjustments, "Nie Jiang, in the second half
You rest. Come on, Yan Xiaoyu, and pay attention to the rhythm of the midfield."
Zhang Sheng also knows that criticism alone cannot solve the problem. Only adjustments in personnel and tactics can achieve immediate results for the team. Since Nie Jiang is obviously in poor physical condition, don't let him forcefully play, otherwise he will be like Qi Ming.
If you get hurt, the gain outweighs the loss.
Fortunately, after Qi Ming's second half, the team doctor carefully inspected and found that although there was a bruise on his knee, it was just a bruise and no tendons or bones were injured. He could recover after a week or two of rest at most. This is a good thing for the Longteng team.
Said it was a rare "good news".
After the start of the second half, the intensity of the game was even more intense than in the first half, and the pressing and confrontation between the two sides showed no momentum of reduction.
First, the adjusted Longteng team relied on Yan Xiaoyu to organize several threatening attacks. In the end, Chi Wen saved the goal with all his efforts. Then Yanbian Fude relied on quick passes to counterattack, and the two teams
A foreign forward had two chances to shoot, and Huang Dawei's performance was not inferior to Chi Wenyi, holding the ball firmly both times.
Thirty minutes into the second half, Yanbian Fude, who had been influenced by the Dragons' fast pace, finally couldn't hold on any longer.
After all, the Longteng team is used to such high-intensity competitions, and they are consciously maintaining this rhythm. Yanbian Fude cannot do it. They may be able to maintain it by relying on strong morale for a while, but they will be exhausted after one go.
At this time they couldn't hold on any longer.
Even though Yanbian Fude completed three substitutions, their formation was gradually overwhelmed by the Longteng team for half the game. The two players on DePaul's side who were especially responsible for defending could no longer keep up with the former's rhythm.
At this time, Zhang Sheng also made the final adjustment. Ni Kai replaced Xiong Jian and sent Zhang Hao to the right. De Paul played in the left midfield, and Ni Kai used his speed to attack the left.
In the 35th minute of the second half, Yin Bigalan chased back and tackled De. Paul received a yellow card. In the next 38th minute, Petkovic saw that Ni Kai was about to break through, so he directly pushed the opponent down, and again
After receiving a yellow card, Yanbian Fude's defense was already in danger.
In the 42nd minute of the second half, defensive midfielder Chi Zhongguo was completely shaken off by Yan Xiaoyu. The latter passed the ball to De Paul who came from the back row.
With the same acceleration, Hu drove into the penalty area from between Yanbian Fude's full-back and central defender.
Facing Chi Wenyi's attack, De Paul made full use of Chi Wenyi's shortcomings, rolled up the ball and hit a lob. After the ball passed Chi Wenyi's raised hands, it dropped and penetrated into the ball.
net.
The Longteng team finally equalized the score before the end of the game.
After scoring the goal, the Longteng team was unreasonable and still passed the ball quickly in the hope of pulling down Yanbian Fude's defense, especially Ni Kai on the left, who has speed and skills. He has just played and has good physical fitness.
In the last minute of stoppage time, Ni Kai even passed two opponents in a row and got a chance to shoot. Unfortunately, Chi Wenyi once again made a miraculous save and guarded the goal.
In the end, Yanbian Fude scored a point against the Longteng team, causing a big upset in this round.
With the end of this game, the Longteng team also survived the devilish schedule of three games in ten days and ushered in a two-week off-season-except for a FA Cup game in the middle of the second week.
Of course, not all Longteng players can get a rest. Nine players, including Nie Jiang, have been selected for the Olympic team. They will play three warm-up matches in the past two weeks, and the opponent in the warm-up match
It’s not a fish belly, it needs to go all out.
In this Olympic team, Zhang Sheng saw a player who had disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time-former Guangzhou Evergrande right back Zhang Linpeng.
After Zhang Linpeng transferred to Leicester City, due to labor certificate reasons, Leicester City coach Ranieri used his connections in Italy to arrange for him to join Parma Club.
For Parma, who was short of money, the free Zhang Linpeng still had some opportunities to play as a substitute. However, at the end of the season, Parma went completely bankrupt due to financial problems, and Zhang Linpeng suddenly faced the embarrassing situation of having no ball to play.
It should be said that Zhang Linpeng's next decision was very wise. He did not leave because of Parma's bankruptcy, but stayed with those teammates in the newly formed Parma 1913 club.
Zhang Linpeng's choice made many people confused. After all, Parma 1913 played in the regional league in the 2015-2016 season.
In the eyes of the vast majority of Chinese fans, such a low-level league has no "face" at all. It is a complete waste for a former main player of the national team and an absolute main player of the once dominant Asian team to play in this level of league.
But after one season, Zhang Linpeng's choice showed his wisdom. Parma entered Serie C with overwhelming results in 1913. Zhang Linpeng, who had been playing in regional leagues with the team, also confirmed his main position. His intention for next season
C is already stable.
At this time, no one said they looked down on Serie C anymore. After all, the Chinese Super League was not much higher than this. In fact, Parma 1913 performed extremely well in history. After the end of Serie B in the 2017-2018 season, they were directly promoted to Serie A.
, that is to say, they jumped back to their previous position in one year.
Zhang Linpeng's performance also attracted the attention of the Olympic team coach Rick Linke. When selecting three overage players, the core idea was to mainly select players who played in Europe. Zhang Linpeng passed Rick Linke's assessment.
Selected.
Just as the Olympic team began its warm-up match, on June 21, the summer transfer window for the 2016 Chinese Super League officially opened.
On the first day of the summer window, Guangzhou R&F took the lead. The Israeli forward Zahavi, whom the Longteng club has been paying attention to, was officially announced by them. The transfer fee was the highest in the club's history - 6.3 million euros.
Because the Longteng team had a bye in this round of the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng first gave two days of leave to the players who were still on the team, and then began to prepare for the Football Association Cup match against Henan Jianye.
As many as nine players were transferred (although Qi Ming did not make the trip, he was injured and could not play), which made Zhang Sheng's formation very troublesome. In the end, Zhou Wei replaced Huang Dawei as the goalkeeper, and the three defenders were
It was Huang He, Liming, and Shen Jun. The two wingers used the double foreign aid of Ben Alpha and De Paul. The midfielder was Roque Gill. Zhang Hao added Zeng Prosperity, and the front line was filled with Yan Xiaoyu and Wang Xing.
combination.
It should be said that this lineup is not bad. Except for Wang Xing, who rarely has a chance to play, other players have many opportunities to play, and even started and played the entire game.
At the same time, this game is also Ben Arfa's farewell game for the Dragons. After the game, he will transfer to Nice for a price of 6.8 million euros, ending his football journey in Asia.
Maybe it was to leave something behind before leaving, or maybe Henan Jianye didn’t pay too much attention to the Football Association Cup and focused all their energy on the league match with Beijing Guoan three days later. Ben Alpha played in this game
In excellent condition.
At the end of the first half, Ben Alfa scored twice to settle the score at 2:1. At the beginning of the second half, Ben Alfa sent an assist to Yan Xiaoyu, allowing the latter to score the first goal in the league.
At the 33rd minute of the second half, he made a one-stop pass from the left and entered the penalty area. He decisively shot from a very small angle, completing a hat trick in this game.
Shortly after the goal, Zhang Sheng replaced Ben Alpha and asked him to accept the applause of the fans. Although this game was an away game, whether it was Longteng fans who came to Zhenzhou with the team or Henan Jianye fans
, everyone did not begrudge their applause and enthusiasm, and gave Ben Alpha great respect.
Shen Fangjian, who was responsible for commentating this game, also said very affectionately: "A 'bad boy' is leaving the Chinese Super League. When Ben Alpha first came to the Chinese Super League, everyone doubted that he came here to make money and goof around.
The fat, his sharp speed, and his extraordinary skills disappeared. But in the past two years in the Chinese Super League Dragons, he overcame these difficulties and became the top attacker in the Chinese Super League. Today he will leave the place where he was reborn.
Returning to his hometown, let us wish him a bright future."
In the end, the Longteng team defeated the unwilling Henan Jianye 1:4 in the away game and advanced to the fifth round. The Longteng team made steady progress on three fronts.
