This game was not only grand for both clubs, but also the general managers of the clubs were watching the game in the stands. Also coming to watch the game was Lippi, the head coach of the national team. Apparently he was also inspecting candidates for the national football match in November.
Unlike these people who come to watch the game openly, there are some people who watch the game secretly.
For example, the head coach of the United Arab Emirates giant Al Ain Club, which has reached the AFC Champions League final in West Asia and defeated the Qatari army 3:1 in the first round. As a team with a high probability of entering the final, he came over in advance to observe the opponent in the final. This is the proper meaning of the title.
In addition, those secretly observing in the stands were the staff of the Brazilian national team and the staff of the Spanish national team - he came for Diego Costa and had records with the Dragons and Guangzhou Evergrande. They are interested in scouts from European clubs who are interested in players' conditions - the objects of their observation include several foreign players from the two clubs, members of the Chinese national team such as Nie Jiang, Tao Wentao, Qi Ming, and Lin Feng, and some even have their eyes on them. There are several players from the National Junior Team of the Dragon Team who are sitting on the bench. Their wonderful performance in the Asian Junior Championship has attracted the attention of these scouts. If they have a chance to play today, a report will definitely be submitted. Go up.
With all the attention on the ball, Ma Yongli's free kick was delivered.
I don’t know why, even though Lu Zhihui was closely guarded by the Guangzhou Evergrande players, the football still came to Lu Zhihui’s head by some strange coincidence. He confidently ran, took off, and headed the ball towards the goal.
"Lu Zhihui, header! Oh my God." Liu Jiayuan exclaimed, "It's a little too high, and Liu Dianzuo didn't react at all. It's still him, it's always him, as long as he faces Guangzhou Evergrande, as long as it's a set kick The header couldn't get around him no matter what."
"This is really a shame." Shen Fangjian, as a famous "I am the best coach in the world" type commentator, quickly turned the topic to tactics, "I can only say that Lu Zhihui's set kick against Guangzhou Evergrande Everyone has their own experience in defensive tactics. Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang, the latter is better at header defense, but Lu Zhihui specifically looked for Feng Xiaoting. It is estimated that Guangzhou Evergrande will also ask Mei Fang to defend Lu Zhihui before the competition, so Lu Zhihui only needs to get rid of Mei Fang , you can take advantage of your height..."
While Shen Fangjian was still chattering, Guangzhou Evergrande had already started attacking.
It is not difficult to see from this attack that Guangzhou Evergrande resolutely pushed forward in the middle. Paulinho, who returned to Guangzhou Evergrande with the strength of the national team's excellent form, performed very tough. Of course, he used too much force just now and knocked down De. Paul gave the Dragons a free kick, but the excitement of the game was evident.
The header just scored by the Longteng team made Chen Jiangfeng happy and said to his brother in the dormitory: "Guohua probably knows Captain Lu." Chen Jiangfeng introduced the other two newcomers, "Team Lu. Oh, Lu Zhihui , the captain of the Longteng team, is a veteran of our team, and his header is awesome. B."
As an atypical Brazilian midfielder who is not characterized by breakthroughs with the ball, Paulinho is strong in his back row, and now with the arrival of Diego Costa, Guangzhou Evergrande has a real frontcourt The fulcrum that can hold the ball and distribute it makes the Longteng team's defense very difficult, especially in the case of pure passive defense.
After Paulinho handed the ball to Goulart, the latter immediately handed the ball to Diego Costa who was retreating. Diego Costa easily leaned on Ma Yongli - the physical difference between the two is still
Big, he knocked the ball to Paulinho again. The coordination of the Brazilian trio was very clever, and they just formed an attacking triangle between the Longteng team's midfielder and central defender.
Next, Paulinho split the ball to the side, Lin Feng made a simple transition on the side, and the ball reached Goulart's feet again.
The tactics arranged by Scolari can be said to reflect the characteristics of several players. Lin Feng is not good at dribbling the ball, so let him concentrate on playing a series transition role in the midfield and frontcourt. Goulart's breakthrough ability
If he is strong, then give him room to break through through pulling and transition.
So when Goulart caught the ball, Qi Ming was the only one left to defend him. Facing Goulart with the ball in front of him, Qi Ming did not dare to rush forward rashly. He knew how powerful the opponent was.
Seeing that Qi Ming failed to attack, Goulart took a few horizontal steps and shot from an angle. As a master who often scores goals with long-range shots, his long-range shots are characterized by concealed movements, tricky angle selection, and powerful power.
It is also very strong, which shows that the explosive power of its lower limbs is amazing.
Huang Dawei's attention was very focused. When Goulart kept shaking in front of Qi Ming, he became more vigilant and guarded against Goulart's long-range shots.
As a result, the angle of the ball was really tricky and the ball was fast. Huang Dawei did not dare to catch the ball with his hands and chose to save the ball from the bottom line. Guangzhou Evergrande also got the first corner kick after the opening.
When Guangzhou Evergrande was preparing for a corner kick, the Jiangcheng Sports Center was filled with boos. The fans just hoped that Evergrande's players would be affected by the boos. It would be best if the players taking the corner kick would directly kick the ball out of bounds.
Now, because of the arrival of Diego Costa, Guangzhou Evergrande has another header expert in the penalty area besides Paulinho. When Goulart's corner kick came out, Li Ming followed Paulinho.
, and Lu Zhihui is following Diego Costa.
"Guangzhou Evergrande's corner kick. If Lu Zhihui's header from the Longteng team is powerful, then Paulinho's header from the Evergrande team has to be guarded." Liu Jiayuan introduced the key figures of both sides, "The ball arrived directly.
In the middle, Diego Costa, header, beautiful, the ball went in! It’s Diego Costa again, it’s him again, he scores again. Lu Zhihui didn’t follow up. Strong dialogue, Diego Costa
Show off your edge again!"
"This is Diego Costa's eighth goal in the AFC Champions League, his fourth AFC Champions League game, averaging two goals per game. This is also his 28th goal in all competitions after coming to Guangzhou Evergrande, in 13 games
In the competition, he averaged more than 2 goals per game. It's terrible!" Shen Fangjian listed the data, "A true striker."
After scoring the goal, Diego Costa glanced at Lu Zhihui proudly. When Evergrande was preparing for the game before the game, the coaching staff specifically mentioned the No. 2 player of the Longteng team, saying that he has strong defensive ability with headers and a
He took a header from a set kick and was defeated casually by himself. He looked very disdainful.
The entire stadium booed louder than before when the corner kick was taken, and Chen Jiangfeng was now one of them.
"Evergrande scored a goal, which made the game interesting. The 2:2 draw in the first round allowed the Longteng team to seize the opportunity and be able to control the ball. Now it is no longer possible. They must attack." Liu Jiayuan is also watching the excitement and is not afraid.
It's a big deal, "Both teams represent the Chinese Super League. Whoever reaches the finals will be the honor of the Chinese Super League. Neutral fans will definitely hope that the game will be better at this time."
The explanation was about Gong Huo, but Zhang Sheng had to think more.
Lu Zhihui's heading ability is good, but judging from the situation just now, compared to Diego Costa, his position selection and movement are inferior.
Before the game, Zhang Sheng asked Lu Zhihui to defend Diego Costa alone during the set piece, which was obviously too much. This was Zhang Sheng's own mistake, but he didn't expect that this mistake would be caught by Diego Costa.
If you don't get a chance, you really can't afford to offend a world-class striker.
Zhang Sheng soon made arrangements on the court, and Qi Ming and Ma Yongli were ready to cover the two central defenders at any time during the set kick.
After conceding a goal, the Longteng team's mentality was still very stable. After all, the team's consecutive victories in the past two years have given the players a lot of championship qualities. Under Zhang Sheng's command, several players in the midfield strengthened
In order to move around, try your best to help the wingers behind the ball and let them concentrate on pressing their positions.
As a free man in the backcourt, Ma Yongli has become the most critical point in this game. He needs very smart running positions to effectively reduce his physical consumption. He needs to constantly confront and fill positions. At the same time, the team's backcourt ball
It is also his responsibility, which means that he must be a smart and skilled man.
After maintaining balance in the midfield, the Longteng team's tactics are very similar to those of Diego Costa's previous home team, Atletico Madrid, which is to interrupt the opponent through a lot of running and frequent confrontations.
Attacking rhythm, while quickly moving through the midfield, hitting the opponent's defense, and finally using capable forwards to score goals, this is Atletico Madrid coach Simeone's specialty.
This season, under the leadership of Zhang Sheng, the Longteng team has arranged many pressing and pressing tactics through careful planning by the coaching staff, strengthening the team's overall movement and confrontation in local positions, and utilizing many young players in the team, but they are all
Coming from the team's youth training, he has a very strong tacit understanding, coupled with a large number of growth acceleration symbols and experience symbols provided by the system to quickly become familiar with tactics, and has achieved very good results.
Especially in the first half of the season, when Ben Arfa had not yet transferred and left, the Longteng team's efficient pressing provided a lot of opportunities for the forwards. He also scored 11 goals in 10 Chinese Super League games and 7 goals in the AFC Champions League.
5 balls, don’t miss them if they are in hot condition.
During that time, the Longteng team's high-intensity game rhythm shocked the entire Chinese Super League.
In the second half of the season, Ben Alpha's departure still had a great impact on the Longteng team's offense. From the data point of view, the number of times the Longteng team scored 30 meters per game did not decrease. Even as the player's ability value increased,
Improved, the overall strength became stronger, the number of times became more, but the number of goals did not increase.
Although there are factors such as the increase in injuries and the long-term absence of the main players, such as Chavez being injured for more than a month, the main reason is still because the shooting skills of Chavez and Nie Jiang are different from Ben Alpha.
Like this game, the Longteng team attacked a lot after losing the ball. In just ten minutes, the Longteng team got three effective shooting opportunities. In the fourteenth minute, Tao Wentao was on the sidelines.
Lu got a chance to break through and sent a one-on-one ball to Chavez, but the latter's shot missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline, wasting an excellent opportunity.
Although the Longteng team's successive attacks did not result in goals, they ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands. Longteng fans, who have been absorbing the excellent fan culture in Europe and the United States, contributed a variety of assist methods, except for the most common ones.
In addition to beating drums, singing, and shouting "Come on," like jumping in the stands, the crowd wave was played by the fans with great proficiency. Especially after communicating with the Icelandic fans, the Longteng fans learned that it was used by the dark horse Icelandic fans in the 2016 European Cup.
The popular assist method-Viking War Cry.
The Viking battle cry of nearly 50,000 people in the audience really brought strength to the Dragon Team.
In the 22nd minute of the first half, Tao Wentao made another deft smash on the right side of the penalty area, which shook Zou Zheng's center of gravity. Then he made an arc with his left foot and sent the ball to the far side.
Chavez was on the end, and the latter's header hit the crossbar directly, missing the inevitable goal.
"Chavez, the ball actually hit the crossbar. Tao Wentao basically fed the cake to his mouth, but unfortunately he spit it out." Liu Jiayuan lamented for the Longteng team, "After continuously losing to Xiangtian,
After the two generals Ge and Huang He, the Longteng team used Tao Wentao to support the attack on the right wing. The thickness of this bench is really strong."
"The main reason is that Zou Zheng's condition declined sharply after his injury. If Li Xuepeng was still there, Evergrande would not be so weak on the left." Shen Fangjian's topic soon turned to tactics again, "Hengda has a very good frontcourt.
Penetrating through the middle, but because the two wingers cannot attack, it can be said that such a powerful frontcourt configuration is a bit wasted. If the two-wing tactic can be used, Evergrande's offense will become more three-dimensional."
After talking a lot of correct nonsense, Liu Jiayuan interrupted him: "It is said that Evergrande is already in contact with multiple full-backs. Evergrande will definitely strengthen this position next season."
Scolari was also thinking about the full-backs on the sidelines at this time. Although the two wingers of the Longteng team suppressed Evergrande's full-backs very well, when they came up, there was a lot of space behind them.
Compared with the previous game, Xiong Jian's physical fitness has always been a common weakness of the Longteng team. Zhang Sheng's tactics have very high requirements for the two defensive midfielders. Their defensive coverage area includes their own side from the penalty area.
On the other side, Xiong Jian's physical fitness was not enough to play the entire game.
What Scolari required in this game was that Gao Lin on the left did not return to defense and stayed in the joint area of the Longteng team's ribs.
When the game reached the second half of the first half, Xiong Jian's pace slowed down.
In the 35th minute, Zheng Zhi launched a counterattack with a long pass. He handed the ball to Gao Lin on the left. The latter made a beautiful volley and turned around to get rid of Xiong Jian, who was half a beat slower. Then Gao Lin directly passed the ball.
At the end of the game, Du Zhenyu, who was playing right center back, quickly came out of the penalty area to intercept Gao Lin's breakthrough or block his pass.
Gao Lin did not hesitate, and passed the ball into the penalty area on the way Du Zhenyu came to block it. At this time, Diego Costa, Paulinho and Goulart fired three arrows in and outside the Longteng penalty area, forming a three-point formation.
A bit of layered outflanking.
Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack this time poses a great threat.
