Sometimes, you have to admit that Chinese football does have "Chinese characteristics."
Some things that are done secretly in European football have become golden rules in Chinese football.
Since Boss Zhu, Liaoning Hongyun has been represented by Yu Hanchao and Li Xuepeng; Guizhou Renhe has been represented by Yu Hai; Guangzhou Evergrande has been represented by Elkeson and Li Shuai; Shandong Luneng has drafted such avoidance in its contracts with Alois Audrey.
The terms and conditions, and the clubs that purchased these people actually implemented them. Anyway, there will always be a day when you can get them back.
Of course, there are also avoidance clauses.
Shanghai Shenhua originally transferred Li Weifeng to Wuhan Optics Valley. Later, Wuhan went on strike against Optics Valley, and Li Weifeng went to South Korea. As a result, Li Weifeng's South Korean team Suwon Samsung happened to be playing against Shanghai Shenhua in the AFC Champions League. Before the game, Shenhua believed that they were avoiding Wuhan.
Regarding the clause, Suwon Samsung told Suwon Samsung that the avoidance clause would also take effect in the AFC Champions League. As a result, the AFC clearly stated that this clause was invalid and would be punished if it was implemented. At the same time, Suwon Samsung also said that it had never thought that it would not be allowed.
Let Li Weifeng play, and the final result was that Li Weifeng played in the game and scored a goal in Hongkou, Shanghai Shenhua's home court.
It can only be said that these innovations are just for fun in China. In the international football world, others will treat you as a fart. If you fart badly, you may even get beaten.
There is a reason why the Dragons do not add an avoidance clause, because Zhang Sheng believes that under normal circumstances, even if the opponent has a former Dragons player on the court, he will not lose.
Yu Bo, who did not have an avoidance clause, played in this game, and the effect was very average. The Longteng team, playing at home, was playing against Beijing Guoan. In the first half, the Longteng team relied on the goals of De Paul and Tao Wentao 2:
0 lead. In the second half, the Longteng team still had the advantage on the field even though they substituted three consecutive substitutes. After Yan Xiaoyu also scored his first goal in the league, Beijing Guoan raised his hand.
Surrendered.
In the end, the Longteng team defeated Beijing Guoan 3:0 and secured the top spot in the league.
After this round of the league, the Longteng team did not make any stop in Jiangcheng and went directly to an away game to challenge Jiangsu Suning. This was also the second leg of the fifth round of the Football Association Cup.
Judging from the condition of the players, most of them are very good. Although the players and the coaching staff only had three days in Jiangcheng, everyone seemed to be full of energy, and everyone seemed very motivated. Even Zhang Sheng felt
The fatigue from the previous period was swept away.
After spending just one day with his wife and children, Zhang Sheng felt that he had infinite strength to live. At this time, Zhang Sheng finally understood his homesickness.
The good state allowed the Longteng team to perform very well in this important game against Jiangsu Suning.
During the summer window, Jiangsu Suning not only introduced Roger Martinez to replace center Ruo, Cui Yongzhu's confidant Hong Zheng and former captain Zhou Zhou, who was bought from the Longteng team, gave everyone high hopes for them.
These new players did not disappoint Choi Yongsoo, and he was rewarded with a 4:0 victory in the league, which was achieved despite Ramirez being injured and absent.
The role of Martinez in the frontcourt, who has just joined the team, dwarfs that of Ruo, who has been playing for Jiangsu Suning for half a year. In a game against a defense-focused team like Henan Jianye, Martinez completely messed up the opponent's defense.
Suning's first goal came from a follow-up shot after Martinez's shot, the third goal was a penalty kick created by Martinez himself and the fourth goal was a teammate assisted by Martinez.
In addition to these, Martinez pushed back Henan Jianye's entire defense line by himself, and Jianye's counterattack was impossible.
The second goal was scored by Hong Zhenghao, who was introduced by Choi Yong-soo. His header proved that he can not only set the pace in the defense, but also destroy the enemy in front.
As for the new domestic aid Zhou Zhou, he and former Longteng teammate Xiao Yunfan completely activated the foreign aid Teixeira. In the absence of Ramirez, they steadily delivered the ball to Teixeira's feet.
With the momentum of a big victory, Cui Yongzhu is also full of confidence. When he first coached Suning, Cui Yongzhu said in an interview with reporters more than once that he would put the league first, but this time he changed his mind: "I have said before that the league is the first place.
One, but don’t get me wrong, we will never give up the FA Cup, because the FA Cup is closely related to the AFC Champions League.”
In this game that will determine the semi-finals of the Football Association Cup, Choi Yong-soo expressed his ambitions even in the League Cup.
Suning, who thought that the Longteng team would be exhausted after consecutive games, started to press from the beginning. Choi Yong-soo had always used it in the K-League, but the frontcourt pressing tactics that were seldom used after coming to the Chinese Super League were rarely used.
The reason why the frontcourt pressing tactic is used more in European leagues than in the Chinese Super League before, and even if it is used, the effect is not too obvious, is mainly because this tactic is too complicated.
In this tactic, it will involve man-to-man marking in the frontcourt, players blocking passing lines, and overall forward communication - including verbal communication and non-verbal communication (body movements and cues, this requires the players on the field to have
(great tacit understanding), and when it comes to specific pressing tactics, there are follow-up pressing and high-position pressing. This requires the team's formation to maintain balance at all times, and to follow the real-time situation on the field to react and set up as soon as possible.
Defensive traps, of course, the most important thing is that players need to have strong physical fitness to support them.
There are many reasons why teams in the Chinese Super League used it sparingly or poorly.
One is that too complex tactics placed high demands on the previous coaches. They either did not realize the benefits of this tactic, or they were simply unable to design such a tactic.
The second reason is the players. The characteristics of frontcourt pressing tactics require players to have a good sense of position. Otherwise, messy pressing will only waste physical energy needlessly, and may even cause the opponent to lose the balance of the team's formation.
A big counterattack, a large gap between foreign players and local players, and communication errors will also cause the tactics to fail. Think about the consequences of a Ferrari engine running wildly with a tractor body? Or the gearbox is useless.
, or the tires will be burned.
The most typical example in the Chinese Super League is Guangzhou R&F. R&F’s head coach Stojkovic has forcibly copied this tactic to his own team. The result is that when successful, he can beat his opponents. Most of them
The result was that the players were not skilled enough - they made more mistakes - their physical strength was too much - they collapsed after 75 minutes, and their previous advantages fell short.
As Cui Yongzhu has historically been listed as the number one head coach in Asia by many authoritative organizations in the world (due to the emergence of Zhang Sheng, his position was naturally occupied by Zhang Sheng), he is still very promising. After coaching Suning
After a few rounds, he quickly became familiar with Suning's players and figured out the team's system. It can be said that the team is gradually getting better.
At the beginning of the game, the energetic Suning players put considerable pressure on the Longteng team's midfield and backcourt.
Seeing their team playing so fiercely, in Nanjing's nearly 40-degree weather, the Suning fans in the stands thought that the high temperature was creating an atmosphere. Everyone sang and danced excitedly without stopping for a moment.
.
Cui Yongzhu stood on the sidelines and kept waving his hands, instructing the team not to stop pressing in the frontcourt.
It should be said that Choi Yong-soo, who has insisted on using the tactical details for many years in the K-League, is quite good at making arrangements. Their press has a certain degree of advance and retreat. As a new foreign aid, Martinez does not show much jerkiness in cooperation, which not only reflects
It showed the player's good football intelligence and Choi Yong-soo's coaching ability.
At this time, the Longteng team's excellent foot skills came into play. Under such efficient pressing by the opponent, the players did not panic. Although the team did not get many threatening opportunities to move forward, the free man Ma Yongli added in the backcourt.
As the two fulcrums, upper midfielder Roque Gill used frequent running and connection to make the Longteng team's defense as solid as a rock.
Li Xin, who was responsible for the commentary, was very satisfied with the intensity and rhythm of the game: "Such a level of confrontation is extremely rare. After coach Cui Yongzhu historically scored points at the Longteng team's home court in the last game, it seems that this time he
It’s because I’m holding back my energy and wants to win.”
"Coach Zhang Sheng and coach Cui Yongzhu have played against each other four times. Cui Yongzhu's side has one draw and three losses. With coach Cui's character, he will have trouble sleeping and eating if he doesn't get this place back." Dong Lu also said it with certainty.
I understand Choi Yong-soo’s expression very well.
After the opening test, the Longteng team gradually adapted to Suning's pressing and began to counterattack.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, Qi Ming received the ball from Roque Gill in the midfield. This time he no longer chose to cross or pass back, because he sensitively felt that the intensity of Suning's side was declining.
Sure enough, after holding up Zhang Xiaobin who came to press him, he found that the opponent was no longer as tough as before.
Qi Ming decisively worked harder. This time he squeezed away his opponent. Next, Qi Ming passed the ball. This was a very beautiful big-foot transfer. The target of the pass was the winger who was running in at high speed from the right.
Sing to the sky.
The last time he was beaten by his younger brother in the league, Xiao Yunfan had no choice but to pull Xiang Tiange down from behind. Such a foul was considered a merciful offence, and considering it was Suning's home court, he only showed a yellow card.
A quick counterattack turned into a set piece in the frontcourt, and Suning made a profit. After all, Suning played a Shuangyawai center back in this game, and its defensive ability in set pieces is still very good.
Of these two centre-backs, South Korean foreign aid Hong Zhenzhao has a good sense of position in the penalty area and strong header ability. Australia's foreign aid Sainsbury has a broad vision, strong ball-playing ability, and is first-class in blocking positions. As Australia's original
The MVP of the Asian Cup finals, his strength is beyond doubt.
In fact, this is also the difficulty that the Dragon Team insists on not using Yawai.
Judging from the player's ability value, the players in the Chinese Super League in Asia and abroad generally have abilities above 90, and those who are even worse are close to this value. As for players like Sainsbury's, Kim Young-kwon, Antal before, and Ahmed behind
A top Asian foreign player like Dov has an ability value of over 100 and is a proper player in the five major European leagues.
This time the Longteng team took a free kick. Although Liming was very capable of heading the ball in the penalty area, he was eventually interfered by Hong Zhazha and missed the ball. It was Sainsbury who kicked the ball out of the penalty area with a big kick.
Although the Longteng team's goal was not scored, it sounded the alarm for Suning. That is the midfield area. Suning was a little unable to withstand it. The impact of Ramirez's absence was too great.
Cui Yongzhu insisted on pressing in the frontcourt in this game. The main reason was to contain the Longteng team's offense at the beginning of the attack. He knew that once the Longteng team was allowed to control the ball in the midfield, Suning's midfielder would be very vulnerable.
It may be punctured.
The attack that Qi Ming organized just now was initiated by gaining an advantage in the midfield confrontation. Cui Yongzhu also realized this. He asked the translator to greet several midfielders loudly, asking them not to relax and to press to the end.
Under Cui Yongzhu's supervision, Suning, whose pressing intensity had declined, became tough again as if taking sildenafil.
Zhang Sheng was relatively calm on the sidelines. Only by winning the midfield can you win the game. Although this sentence is not 100% correct in football matches, it is correct most of the time.
The Longteng team, which gained an advantage in the midfield, began to use constant dispatch to pull Suning's defense. This style of play not only increased Suning's defensive pressure, but also had another effect of basically cutting off Suning's backcourt and frontcourt.
Relations between foreign aid.
The midfield is controlled by the opponent, and if you want to launch an orderly attack, other methods are very limited. They can only rely on breakthroughs from the wing, or simply open up the backcourt to find the center in front.
In order to open up the offensive corridor on the wing, Xiao Yunfan began to constantly switch positions on the two wings. Teixeira also responded to Xiao Yunfan's assists and began to roam widely in the frontcourt, looking for offensive opportunities.
Zhang Sheng was well prepared for Cui Yongzhu's move. Qi Ming and Tao Wentao expanded their defensive range and joined forces with the wingers and two center backs to firmly block Suning's attack from the wing.
His own trick was blocked again, and Cui Yongzhu was extremely angry.
In the past, when I was in the K-League, I had good Korean players, but the quality of foreign aid was not enough. The Longteng team often used its strong foreign aid capabilities to provide opportunities for domestic players to attack. Now that they have come to China, their foreign aid capabilities are sufficient.
, China's domestic players are not capable enough, and they can only watch helplessly as powerful foreign players run helplessly in the frontcourt but cannot get the ball.
When the game reached more than 30 minutes in the first half, Cui Yongzhu simply didn't want to think about anything else. He directly asked Sainsbury's to start from the backcourt and look for Martinez in the frontcourt, using Martinez's impact to go to the frontcourt.
After all, this is a routine operation for many Chinese Super League teams to attack the Longteng team's defense.
