Cui Kangxi's change of tactics was also very straightforward, that is, he asked the two foreign forwards to go to the middle, with Li Tongguo as the core bridgehead, surrounding him, trying to form a frontcourt trident, and directly penetrate the Longteng team's middle.
Zhang Sheng couldn't ask for this change in Cui Kangxi.
As a veteran, Li Tongguo is experienced. In terms of positioning, movement, ball making and coordination, he is as cunning as an old fox who has lived for nine hundred years, but he is still old after all.
It has been nearly forty minutes since the first half of the game. Jeonbuk players, who were determined to win before the game, were running like crazy. Many players now ran almost more than 5,000 meters.
Other players who are young and can run a little more have no problem, but Li Tongguo cannot. In the confrontation with Du Zhenyu and Liming, he was obviously out of energy. When he passed the ball to him several times in a row, he was not destroyed by his opponent from behind.
Otherwise, he would be out of position at all.
At the 44th minute of the first half, Li Tongguo, who was a little annoyed after failing to fight for the ball continuously, jumped up and waved his palm in the air while competing with Liming, and threw it on Liming's face.
Li Tongguo has a huge physical advantage in this header. He can jump higher than Li Tongguo and is stronger than Li Tongguo. Li Tongguo has been completely squeezed out of the way in the air, and the back movement of his arms is considered non-confrontational.
Additional actions.
After grabbing the header, Liming squatted down with his nose in his hands. When the referee stopped the game and came over to watch, he noticed that Liming had a nosebleed. He quickly asked him to go outside the field and warned Li Tongguo to be careful with his actions.
This injury incident made the players of Jeonbuk Hyundai, who had been holding their breath and wanted to equalize, let it go. When Liming returned to the field and the referee gave another three minutes of stoppage time, the Longteng team still
We entered the first half with a 0:1 lead on the road.
During the halftime break, the commentators of the two countries were summarizing the first half of the game, while the head coaches of both sides were thinking about how to respond in the second half.
"We had a chance to attack in the first half, but there was no result. I think this is the responsibility of the forward." Bai Shengcai put forward his point of view directly and pointed the finger at Li Tongguo, "Now we still have more people on the bench.
Sitting here is the player with the highest annual salary in the country (referring to Jin Xinyu), and sitting here is the player with the third highest annual salary among foreign players (referring to Edu). Their impact is what we urgently need now."
As a fan of Lee Tongguo, Park Moon-sung even though he had to agree with Bai Shengcai's statement, he still found an excuse for Lee Tongguo: "Jeonbuk's game schedule is too tight during this period, and Lee Tongguo still has physical problems. I guess
He should be substituted in the second half."
Like the Korean commentators, the Chinese side also raised questions about Jeonbuk's forward line, but they also put forward their own opinions on Cui Kangxi's tactics.
"Jeonbuk's running and confrontation intensity did not lead to a goal in the first half, but they fell behind. In the second half, they will definitely change their tactics. Jeonbuk is known as a team with two lineups. On the bench, there are still
There are many good players. We must be vigilant in the second half." He Wei looked at the 1:0 score very cautiously.
"I believe in the control of the Longteng team." Xu Yang was more optimistic, "Jeonbuk will definitely make adjustments on the front line. But the Longteng team was very successful in cutting off Jeonbuk's midfield and forward line in the first half.
The Longteng team has very rich experience in dealing with such situations."
The commentators all saw the problem, and Cui Kangxi certainly saw it too.
Cui Kangxi, who usually enjoys Korean senior culture, is now very disgusted with this matter.
As a veteran of the team, Li Tongguo has a quarrelsome relationship with the owner of the consortium behind the club. Even though he introduced Jin Xinyu and recalled Edu this season, Cui Kangxi still gave Li Tongguo a lot of opportunities.
Before this game, Li Tongguo strongly requested to play. He vowed to get rid of the situation that was criticized by the media after the disastrous defeat in the AFC Champions League last year, so as to prove that his high salary in the team was not due to nepotism.
However, now, Cui Kangxi no longer cares about Li Tongguo's face.
"In the second half, Kim Shin-woo, you come on, and Lee Tong-guo takes a rest." Cui Kangxi made this arrangement in his first words after the players calmed down.
Li Tongguo raised his head and glanced at Cui Kangxi, but hesitated to speak.
In fact, there are meritorious foreign players like Edu on the bench now, but the performance of Li Tongguo, who was also a meritorious player, in the first half made Cui Kangxi very disappointed. Although Edu, who was born in 1981, has the third highest salary in the team,
, but he is also a veritable thirty-five-year-old player.
Seeing Cui Kangxi operating on Li Tongguo, all the players were silent.
"This is not the first time we have encountered the opponent Longteng. Their strength is indeed good, but we can also see their weakness clearly, that is, the central defender's ability to play the ball is weak. We took advantage of this in the first half
Almost scored." Cui Kangxi, who had achieved the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, began to arrange tactics, "In the second half, we will continue to strengthen the high-position press. As Jin Xinyu, the high point of the frontcourt, you have two tasks: one is to header the ball from the set piece.
To grab points, the second one is more important, which is to pass the ball to teammates, whether it is cutting in from the wing or assisting from the midfield."
After talking about the offense, Cui Kangxi's requirements for defense were much simpler: "As for defense, it is extremely important to interrupt their counterattack immediately. They have several players who can advance quickly in the counterattack. We
Just show your momentum and don't worry about fouling."
Compared with Cui Kangxi, Zhang Sheng is much more comfortable. A lead in away games is always the best situation in the home and away system. Regarding the possible substitutions of Jeonbuk Hyundai, Zhang Sheng also thought: "They may have a center forward in the second half.
Changes. Judging from their head coach’s tactics, he likes to use high forwards, so Kim Shin-wook on the Jeonbuk bench is most likely to be replaced.”
"For Kim Shin-wook, there are only two things to do. The first is to prevent headers, and the second is not to give him a comfortable chance to catch the ball. The quality of his first touch will determine the overall offensive rhythm of Jeonbuk.", early
Through countless studies and speculations by the assistant coaches, full-time defensive coaches, and full-time video analysts in the coaching team, Zhang Sheng, who knew all the players in Jeonbuk clearly, made clear arrangements.
After the halftime break, the second half of the game started as scheduled.
"Jeonbuk Hyundai's center has made adjustments." The commentators from China and South Korea said almost in unison, "The next step is to see how the results are."
In the midst of the commentary, Jeonbuk Hyundai midfielder directly passed the ball to Kim Shin-woo. Compared to Lee Tong-guo, the situation this time was completely different.
Under Liming's squeeze, although Jin Xinyu felt uncomfortable holding the ball, he still caught the ball after all. Unfortunately, after adjusting his body, Jin Xinyu no longer had the opportunity to pass the ball to his teammates to form an effective attack.
Basically, they were all blocked by the Dragons' players, and there were even defensive traps placed in some places.
With the development of modern football to this day, in addition to the changes in various formations, the detailed research and progress in offense and defense are changing with each passing day.
The arrangement of defensive traps is one example.
In the early days, defensive traps were mostly used in areas such as countering offside. Later, as the pace became faster and faster, especially with the popularity of pass-and-control play, more and more teams used football counterattack technology to create defensive traps.
many.
During the defense, you should stay close to the opponent immediately, block without grabbing, and force the opponent in the predetermined direction, leaving him with no choice but to pass back or pass in the designed direction. This is a very popular tactic nowadays.
The advantage of this tactic is not to attack immediately, to ensure the safety of the defense, but to use the numerical advantage of two to defend one to block without rushing to steal, press step by step, and constantly cause interference and pressure to the offensive players; second
Second, when the offensive team turns around or loses control of the ball, the defensive team immediately steals the ball, forcing the offensive team to gradually retreat to the baseline or pass the ball back continuously; and finally, forcing the opponent to pass the dangerous ball.
, causing the opponent to lose the ball with a high probability and giving the team an opportunity to counterattack.
Under the defensive pressure of the Longteng team, after Jin Xinyu took the ball and observed it, he could only choose the safest way of playing - passing the ball back. Jin Bojiong who received the ball was also helpless. Although his teammates were running
However, the opponent's defensive formation was very stable, and he did not have a good chance to pass the ball forward. Moreover, Roque Gill of the Longteng team was already pressing forward, and there was also a running movement from the opponent behind him.
The voice - it should be Nie Jiang who wants to attack from behind.
Stable, uniform and efficient, this is the impression the Longteng team's defensive tactics left on everyone who watched this game.
From this attack, it can be seen that it is a small probability for Jeonbuk Hyundai to rely on positional offense to penetrate the Longteng team's defense. However, the benefits of such a style of play are also obvious, that is, Jin Xinyu alone attracted at least two players from the Longteng team.
The defensive attention and the advantage brought by his body pushed the Longteng team's defense back. This not only brought defensive pressure to the Longteng team, but also weakened the Longteng team's offensive threat.
"Jin Xinyu's role after coming on the field is too obvious." He Wei looked serious. "Ma Yongli must come back to fill in, but he is also needed in the backcourt. The Longteng team needs to find a way to attack."
The worries of the Chinese commentator are the good news of the Korean commentator. Baek Sungjae expressed his optimism about the situation on the court: "Now is the situation that Jeonbuk Hyundai should have at home. Press, press, press again, and finally the opponent cannot hold on.
The team collapsed. Jeonbuk Hyundai, which has the best lineup in the K-League, must perform like this."
Jin Xinyu's performance gave Jeonbuk Hyundai the confidence to equalize the score. In the next game, all Jeonbuk players played with a high spirit.
In defense, the frontcourt steals were decisive and accurate. The Longteng team tried to take advantage of Jeonbuk's pressure to counterattack many times, but they were destroyed in time. In addition, this kind of frontcourt foul is very difficult as long as the action is not big.
After receiving the card, they maximized their defensive efficiency; they resolutely looked for Jin Xinyu in the offense. Regardless of whether they could penetrate the Longteng team's defense, they at least continued to put pressure on the Longteng team's defense and waited for the Longteng team to defend.
An error occurred.
At the 17th minute of the second half, Liming finally made a mistake in defense. The problem of weak positioning under high tension broke out again. When Jin Xinyu moved to his defensive area, Liming did not go over to defend in advance.
After Jin Xinyu got the ball, it was already too late for Liming to follow up. Jin Xinyu, who had no one close to him, had already passed the ball. Moreover, the ball was done very beautifully and was passed directly to Ricardo Lopez on the right.
Facing the incoming ball, the latter first made a move to cut inside, then suddenly stopped, turned around, dunked the ball, and passed the ball to Cui Zhechun, who came in from the wing at high speed.
The cooperation between Jin Xinyu and Ricardo Lopez was extremely threatening, attracting most of the attention of the Longteng team's defense. When Cui Zhechun on the wing received the ball, it could be said that there was no defensive player within a radius of five meters.
This style of play is actually the most common tactic of Jeonbuk Hyundai this season. The center returns and the forward shoots if he can. If he can't, he distributes the ball to the wing, allowing the wing player to pick up the ball and find a spot in the penalty area.
Thanks to Jeonbuk Hyundai's strong player configuration, their tactics have been unfavorable in the K-League. Now in the AFC Champions League, they are finally showing results.
When Cui Zhechun's ball came out, Kim Xinyu, Ricardo, Lopez, Leonardo, including Jin Bojiong who came from behind, formed a four-point outflank in the penalty area. These four people moved forward and backward.
With clear layers from left to right, the Longteng team's defensive formation was completely stretched apart.
The ball was like a black and white lightning, crossing the penalty area from right to left. On the path of travel, Ricardo Lopez, who first made the ball and then turned and ran towards the penalty area, could not reach it; then Kim Bo Kyung's legs stretched out;
When Jin Xinyu reached this point, he was too tall and couldn't control this half-high ball that was slightly above the ground; but Leonardo, who was at the back point, would not miss such an opportunity.
The agile Leonardo faced the incoming ball, jumped up and fired a volley that directly hit the ball.
Even though Huang Dawei made a save, he could not prevent Leonardo, who was close to the goal, from hitting the ball into the net. Jeonbuk Hyundai took advantage of a mistake by the Longteng team and seized the opportunity to equalize the score.
"Oops. Jeonbuk Hyundai scored a goal. Leonardo. There was a big hole in the Longteng team's defense." He Wei looked puzzled. "This is so inappropriate. It actually allowed the opponent to form so many in the penalty area."
There are problems with the attacking points and the overall defensive formation."
"It really shouldn't be. A center like Jin Xinyu is not flexible in the penalty area. He just needs to stick close to his body and get stuck." Xu Yang was also very dissatisfied with the loss of the ball and pointed out the problem, "Just now, Liming was out of position. And...
....”
Xu Yang was interrupted by He Wei before he finished speaking. Then he saw the angry expression on He Wei's face and said, "Leonardo's celebration is a bit excessive."
