Soon Liu Jiayuan saw the changes in the Longteng team's midfield. Rock Gill and Qi Ming supported the entire midfield defense, and Yan Xiaoyu stood between Zheng Zhi and Paulinho.
This is an extremely embarrassing position. If it were the first seventy-five minutes of the game, Yan Xiaoyu's small body would probably be pinched into meat by the two masters, but now it is seventy-five minutes after the ultra-high-intensity game.
Minutes later, Zheng Zhi's physical energy was exhausted, and B2B Paulinho was even more tired.
Scolari was about to replace Zheng Zhi, but Zou Zheng sat down on the turf. He had cramps.
After accepting the lesson that Han Pengfei conceded the ball when he came on the court in the last game, Scolari refused to let Mei Fang play at left back. He replaced Zou Zheng with Zheng Long.
However, just three minutes later, Zheng Zhi received a yellow card in the midfield. The target of his foul was Yan Xiaoyu. After holding the ball, Yan Xiaoyu turned 360 degrees to get rid of it, leaving Zheng Zhi with no choice but to take action.
Guangzhou Evergrande had to use the substitutions they had planned to put into stoppage time. Huang Bowen replaced Zheng Zhi, Lin Feng returned to the midfielder position, and Huang Bowen went to the right.
Huang Bowen immediately proved the correctness of Scolari's substitution when he came on the field. After he got the ball, he shot directly from a place more than 20 meters away from the goal. Ma Yongli, who was responsible for sweeping at this position, couldn't keep up. As expected,
It has the title of "World Expo", and the power and angle of the football are the best. Huang Dawei's save did not touch the ball at all.
Perhaps to compensate for the Longteng team's previous missed shots, the football finally hit the lintel and bounced off the bottom line. The Longteng team escaped a disaster.
"Huang Bowen's long shot! Oh, what a pity." Liu Jiayuan also gave a thumbs up to "World Expo", "If this goal had been scored, it would have been really difficult for the Longteng team."
Although the players on the field did not express any reaction to Guangzhou Evergrande's shot, Zhang Sheng on the sidelines knew that the main reason was Ma Yongli's lack of physical fitness and must make timely adjustments.
Soon Zhang Sheng played his second card. Zhang Hao replaced Ma Yongli, letting this physical maniac simply work as a midfield and backcourt mixer. As for Ma Yongli's ball-playing task, it was handed over to Roque, Gill and Qi Ming.
Already.
With the continuous substitutions, the rhythm of the game suddenly dropped, and a lot of time was wasted in the substitutions. Although the Longteng team was still attacking, they unconsciously became impatient.
In the 42nd and 44th minutes of the second half, the Longteng team took two consecutive long-range shots from outside the penalty area, but the results were not ideal.
"The Longteng team played a little impatiently." Liu Jiayuan shook his head and said, "Evergrande has retreated across the board, and Diego Costa has returned to the penalty area to defend."
At this time, the fans in the stands also knew that the game had reached the most critical moment. They had cheered for the team for the whole game. Although many people were shouting at the top of their lungs, they still mustered up the energy to cheer for the team. Even the players of the Longteng team just now
No one blamed him for his long-range shot that was a little off target, and there was not a single boo from the audience.
"Five minutes of stoppage time, this is the last chance for the Longteng team." The tense atmosphere on the court made Shen Fangjian look serious.
In the first minute of stoppage time, Zhang Sheng played his last card. High center forward Zou Weijia replaced midfielder Rock Gill. This substitution was considered a desperate move.
As soon as Zou Weijia came on the field, Scolari also made a change. Han Pengfei replaced Gao Lin, and the defender was replaced by the forward. He was still a tall central defender. His task was to keep an eye on Zou Weijia.
In the third minute of stoppage time, De Paul dribbled the ball to the corner flag on the left. Seeing that he was tightly entangled by Shu Jun and Lin Feng, with no hope of breakthrough, he very cleverly kicked the ball to Lin Feng, and then the football
It bounced out of the bottom line.
De Paul and Lin Feng raised their hands at the same time, indicating that the last ball touched by the opponent should be their own.
"Three players, two former captains of the Dragons, and one current player of the Dragons. Haha, this scene." Although he knew that the atmosphere was very tense and he shouldn't gossip, this scene was so intriguing that he couldn't help but say
came out, "It should be the corner kick of the Longteng team. This is the real last chance."
At this corner kick, the Longteng team didn't care about any defense. Except for Yan Xiaoyu, who was slightly taller, he was outside the penalty area to see if he could find a chance to get the second point and hit a long shot. All the other players entered the penalty area.
When De Paul's ball came out, the Evergrande penalty area was in chaos. Countless people were tugging and tugging. When the football flew to the middle of the penalty area, I saw Diego and a Dragons player next to Costa.
After moving back and forth in a small space, he shrunk, suddenly jumped into the air, and then passed Diego Costa. He hit a powerful header. The football passed Liu Dianzuo's waving palm and penetrated into the air.
goal.
"Ahhh! The Dragons scored a goal. It should be Lu Zhihui." Liu Jiayuan almost shouted out loud this time. When he saw the Dragons captain's armband on the field, he rushed towards the billboard and jumped over.
Then he rushed to the die-hard fan Lu Zhihui under the south stand, "It's Lu Zhihui, the captain of the Longteng team, the oldest player of the Longteng team, and the most senior player of the Longteng team. I didn't keep an eye on Diego Costa and lost the first place."
After one goal, he completed his redemption. He defeated Diego Costa and helped the Longteng team draw with Guangzhou Evergrande. The game will enter overtime."
"When everyone thought that the game was like this, Lu Zhihui told everyone as a captain, no, the battle has just begun." Shen Fangjian also roared, "Look at the madness of Longteng fans."
At this time, Lu Zhihui grabbed his jersey and kissed the team emblem deeply. The Longteng fans in the stands crowded crazily towards the railings of the stands. Fortunately, the armed police and special police arranged by the Jiangcheng government had been well prepared.
Although the tidal wave of people was blocked, the rush of fans was still extremely shocking.
"Ah!!!!" Chen Jiangfeng in the stands was extremely envious of the fans in the south stand. He grabbed Zhang Guohua's arm tightly with excitement and roared with all his strength, "Did you see it? See it?
No. This is our Lu team. This is the Longteng team that I love."
"Although it's so close, if I don't get close now, I can't hear clearly what Jiayuan is saying. The entire Jiangcheng Sports Center has fallen into madness." Shen Fangjian had to use his loudest voice to explain, "This is the charm of football.
.”
When Lu Zhihui applauded the fans in the stands and slowly retreated to the court, suddenly the uniform singing "You Will Never Walk Alone" rang out on the court. Under the leadership of the on-site DJ, this football anthem played
Complete the whole place.
When he returned to the court, Lu Zhihui deliberately walked to Zhang Sheng on the sidelines: "Coach, I did it."
Zhang Sheng patted Lu Zhihui on the shoulder and said nothing.
Shortly after kicking off again, referee Fagani blew the whistle at the end of regular time, signaling the players on both sides to hurry up and prepare for overtime.
Liu Jiayuan also took the time to introduce the overtime rules of the AFC Champions League at this time: "In the AFC Champions League, if the scores of both home and away rounds are the same, then overtime will be played. Unlike the Champions League, the overtime rules of the AFC Champions League will be played.
Goals do not count as away goals. If there is overtime, no matter whether there is a goal or not, as long as the two sides still cannot decide the winner, it will enter the most brutal penalty shootout."
"The rules of overtime have actually been changing over the years." Taking advantage of the ten-minute break before overtime, Shen Fangjian also extended the introduction, "Previously, overtime was played for 30 minutes, but then 90 minutes
In the World Cup and European Cup 1992, the teams in overtime were perfunctory. No one was willing to attack, and they all thought about taking a penalty kick at the end. In 1993, FIFA introduced the golden goal system, which suddenly
Death method, overtime, whoever scores first will directly kill the game and win the game. In the 1998 World Cup, there were many golden-goal winning games. Later, because the controversy was too great, an improved system was introduced.
The silver goal system means that after a goal is scored, the half must be played. If there is no equalizer in the half, the team that scored the goal will win. If the goal is equalized in the first half, the game will continue in the second half."
After introducing Datong, Shen Fangjian returned to the game: "Later, I considered that the gold and silver football systems have quite a few drawbacks, and it is difficult for teams to win if they play passive football. Since the 2004 game, the game has been
We have returned to the old overtime system of 15 minutes in each half. In this game, the two teams will play for 30 minutes without rest to determine the final winner. The winner will advance to the AFC Champions League finals."
The 30 minutes before overtime are very important to the team, because it is a game beyond 90 minutes, the players are generally not physically fit, and in order to win or lose the game in regular time, there are often unconventional substitutions.
, the players on the field are likely to be players that you will not have the opportunity to appear on the field at the same time a few times in a season. Under such extreme conditions, based on the configuration of players on the field, what style of play should be chosen is the one who can determine the victory.
Negative choice.
Most of the time, in overtime, everyone will choose a safer style of play, playing defensive counterattacks if they are not qualified, and passing and controlling if they have the conditions and ability.
This time, the Longteng team chose the familiar pass-and-control approach, while Guangzhou Evergrande chose defensive counterattack.
With neither side aggressively pressing forward, the overtime went by very quickly. Both sides would rather commit more fouls in the midfield than give the other side a chance to break into the 30-meter zone. Moreover, in the semifinals
If you have only one yellow card, it will not be accumulated into the finals. In other words, as long as you don't get a red card directly, don't get two yellow cards, and you have a yellow card, it will be automatically canceled if you enter the finals.
Taking this into consideration, in the first half of overtime, Guangzhou Evergrande and Longteng each received a yellow card due to tactical fouls. When the first 15 minutes were over, the score was insignificant.
Changes, not even a few shots.
There is no rest time in the midfield of overtime. With a simple rehydration, the two sides quickly entered the 15 minutes of the second half. At this time, even the fans in the stands felt deeply tired. You can imagine the people on the court now.
Hardship for players.
Because it has been raining lightly in Jiangcheng today, the game started at 6:30 in the evening, and it is already past eight o'clock. It is a cold rainy night in autumn in Jiangcheng, and the temperature is just over ten degrees. There is a high probability that a lot of fans in the stands will catch a cold tomorrow.
Get ill.
Zhang Sheng and Scolari on the sidelines had already changed into one set of soaked clothes during the halftime break, and then changed into another set of soaked clothes before overtime. This clearly shows the hard work involved.
In the last two or three minutes of overtime, the coaching staff of both sides were all activated, and the most brutal penalty shootout was about to begin.
With Fagani's whistle, the 30 minutes of overtime ended, and the score was still 2:2.
"The two games between the two sides were 2:2, with a total score of 4:4. A true battle between dragons and tigers (the team emblem of the Longteng team is a flying dragon, and the team emblem of Guangzhou Evergrande is a roaring dragon on a shield.
(South China Tigers), the game ended in a draw in both regular time and overtime. Now the thrilling penalty shootout is about to begin." Liu Jiayuan introduced.
"In the history of the two teams, Guangzhou Evergrande has had three penalty shootout experiences, while the Longteng team has not. It can be said that Guangzhou Evergrande is more sophisticated in terms of experience in this project. But looking back at Evergrande's
The memory of the three penalty shootouts is not good. Among these three times, they only defeated Hangzhou Greentown on penalty kicks in the 2013 Football Association Cup, and lost the other two times." While the head coaches of both sides were arranging points,
Liu Jiayuan began to study the information on both sides.
"In terms of probability, the probability of Evergrande winning is 1/3, while the Longteng team is 1/2?" Shen Fangjian asked a mathematical question involving probability theory, which immediately got the fans who were still watching the game hotly discussing.
Got up.
When it comes to penalty kicks, there are too many legendary stories in history. There is the 14th World Cup where Van Gaal replaced substitute goalkeeper Krul before the penalty kick and then won. There is also the 2006 World Cup when the German team gave its own goalkeeper Lehmann a penalty.
The mysterious little notes include Dudek's ecstatic yangko dance on the Miracle Night in Istanbul, and the calm-looking spoon penalty shots of various great gods.
As for how the first four players on both sides failed to score in one round, then all 22 players in the field made free throws, and then there was another magical operation, it can be said that it has everything.
But under normal circumstances, the head coach arranges the order of penalty kicks in this way: the most confident players are placed first and fifth, and at least one defender is placed among the three middle ones.
In this way, after 5 rounds, the remaining players will not have poor footwork. After all, it was 1V1 at that time. If you lose, you will be eliminated. The second center back is arranged because the center back has a better mentality, and
The opponent will analyze the penalty kick habits of the opponent's main shooters, but rarely target the central defenders. After all, the resumes of most central defenders are blank and you cannot target them. This is the legendary saying that there is no trick to win, and of course, in
It is also a very important reason that the defender's game consumes less physical energy.
Soon the lists of penalty kickers from both sides were handed over to the referee, and the penalty shootout was about to begin.
The order of free throws arranged by the Longteng team placed the captain's central defender Lu Zhihui first. This game proved that his mental quality is strong. Next, Nie Jiang, Yan Xiaoyu, De Paul and Chavez. Sixth,
The seven are Tao Wentao and Zou Weijia.
Basically, those who are good at shooting and have good physical fitness are put first. Zhang Sheng thought that all his achievements would be accomplished in one battle.
