The Dragons' goal pushed Kashima Antlers into a desperate situation.
When the team was still physically fit to compete, they failed to score a goal and were instead scored by their opponent. The Kashima Antlers players, who were about to enter a physical bottleneck period, showed expressions of helplessness.
Ishii Masatada saw the expressions of his teammates. At this time, he made the decision to make substitutions. The starting foreign aid forward Leandro was replaced by the young player Yuma Suzuki.
Seeing this substitution, Dong Lu suddenly joked: "There are two Chinese players on these Kashima Antlers fields."
"???" Li Xin looked at Dong Lu doubtfully.
"Look, Kashima's goalkeeper Quan Chuntai looks like our national team's goalkeeper Wang Dalei." Dong Lu explained seriously.
"Oh! You're talking about this." Li Xin suddenly realized, and then asked, "What about the other one?"
"Look at the new striker here in Kashima. Hahaha. I even suspect that he is the long-lost brother of our national team forward Gao Lin." Dong Lu started to laugh half way through.
Li Xin was also made to laugh by Dong Lu: "What you said really sounds like hey."
The Chinese commentator seemed extremely relaxed and joking because the team was leading the score and had an obvious advantage on the field, while the Japanese commentator had a serious look on his face.
"Suzuki-kun's characteristics are still very outstanding. Although his height (1.82 meters) does not have an absolute advantage, his judgment of placement is extremely good. With him in the penalty area, the two wingers can perform better.
"Role." Toshin Toshinami is obviously very familiar with this rising star in Japanese football.
In real history, Suzuki Yuma is indeed an outstanding new striker in Japan. In this season's AFC Champions League, the player born in 1996 scored 4 goals in 6 appearances in the AFC Champions League, breaking the Shanghai duo's door.
, was not only selected into the national team, but also attracted the attention of many clubs in Europe. Many clubs wanted to directly spend money to buy out his liquidated damages and take him to Europe.
After he came on the field, his first touch of the ball in the penalty area gave the Longteng team a powerful blow.
In the 27th minute of the second half, Kashima right back Yukitoshi Ito, who always mainly attacks the right wing, made an offensive tactic with Endo Yasu on the wing. Yukitoshi Ito passed the ball directly from the wing.
Passed to the center of the penalty area.
Yuma Suzuki actually caught the ball before Lu Zhihui, and then his sweep shot directly kicked the ball into Huang Dawei's arms.
It can be said that Huang Dawei's save was completely subconscious. With such a fast speed and a shot in the penalty area, if Suzuki Yuma's shot hadn't been too straight, he would definitely not have been able to catch the ball.
Suzuki Yuma's shot once again gave Kashima Antlers' offense hope. When they are about to enter a period of physical decline, having such an opportunity proves that the team can still salvage something.
Sure enough, Kashima Antlers, who had gathered their strength, made several good attacks in succession.
Many clubs will talk about heritage and tradition, which is actually reflected in this, that is, the establishment of confidence in the team and players.
Kashima Antlers has won 8 league championships, 6 Japan League Cup championships, 4 Emperor's Cup championships and 5 Super Cup championships, each of which is the most among Japanese clubs. In terms of honors, it can be said that the Kashima Antlers
Island is the number one club in the Japanese league.
In addition, the team's captain and deputy captain, Mitsuo Ogasawara in 1978, started their careers here, and the coach, Masatada Ishii, has never left the team from 1991 to the present.
Many years of championships have given this team a different temperament than other teams.
Another example is their starting forward Yume Kanazaki this time. At the age of 27, he has already had various experiences such as being the best rookie, declining his tactical status, failing to study abroad, changing positions to shine, being called up and then removed from the national team, etc.
He is known for his speed and skills. Regardless of whether he scores or not, he must fight for every ball on the court and run for every ball. He is the key to steals and counterattacks. Even if his state is inconsistent with the head coach, his attitude has never been a problem.
, which is why Ishii Masatada also had to use him as the main forward.
However, in football matches, sometimes it is not enough to have a correct attitude to be effective.
In the 35th minute of the second half, Kashima Antlers, who had a complete physical problem, once again got a chance from the Dragons.
This time Fernando was closely watched by Kashima's defenders, but DePaul was ignored.
In terms of speed, maybe De Paul is not as good as Fernando, but in terms of the combination of man and ball and organizational connection, the former is much better. After receiving a pass from Ma Yongli in the backcourt, he made a beautiful through pass to the left wing.
Ni Kai driving at high speed.
"Ni Kai's speed has increased." Dong Lu also picked up his energy, "The two wing-backs of the Longteng team are really fast. Is he going to pass down the bottom? No, the inverted triangle is returned to Germany.
Paul, De Paul made a through ball again, beautiful. Chavez twisted the ball, turned and volleyed, beautiful! The ball went in."
"This ball is so beautiful. From Ma Yongli's ball in the backcourt, De Paul's continuous connection, to Chavez's shot in the penalty area, it was all done in one go. We often talk about the seven-second counterattack theory. What is the seven-second counterattack theory?
That's it." Li Xin said excitedly, "This goal is the result of the combination of Ni Kai's speed, De Paul's skills, and Chavez's confrontation."
Chavez's goal made Zhang Sheng certain that victory had been won.
Zhang Sheng, who had two goals in hand, quickly made substitution adjustments. Ni Kai, who was rushing back and forth on the wing, was replaced. Cao Jinghao replaced De Paul in the left midfield. De Paul came to his familiar position.
The wing-back position continues to exert pressure on the wing.
"We still lost the ball." Toshin Mizunami expressed regret in his words. Kashima was obviously the last resort, but in the end he was hit back again. "Such a blow to Kashima, Chavez is
The confrontation ability in the penalty area is rare in the entire J-League, and we still need to strengthen our confrontation."
After taking the lead, the Longteng team played very relaxedly. Especially after Zhang Sheng replaced Tao Wentao with Qu Wenming, the Longteng team's midfielder became a bit scattered.
In the stoppage time at the end of the game, Fernando held the ball in the midfield for too long and was forced to the sideline. Two Kashima Antlers players intercepted the ball.
Next, the Japanese international player Seima Doi sent a wonderful through ball from the top of the midfield arc on the left wing. Kanazaki Yumeo knew it and took the ball to the left side of the penalty area. In a hurry, the defensive formation was not set up, and Qu Wenming's pursuit failed.
The failure was not in place, resulting in Kanazaki Yumeo's one-on-one attack in the penalty area.
Huang Dawei had no choice but to abandon the goal and pounce on Kanazaki Mengsheng. As a result, the latter calmly pushed the ball from a small angle. The football passed between Huang Dawei's legs, penetrated the wicket, and rolled towards the goal.
"shooooooooooot! Kanazaki-kun's shot! The ball goes in!" Toshinomi Toshinami, after criticizing Kashima Antlers for almost the whole game, finally gave this response, "This is a typical Kashima tactic.
, press, press, run and then give the final blow.”
"It's a pity that the goal came too late." Nakano Kengo felt more regretful. "There are less than two minutes of stoppage time. Will there be a miracle?"
After scoring the goal, Kanazaki Yumeo was extremely excited. He just pushed away Huang Dawei who was walking toward the goal to pick up the ball, and then ran in and picked up the ball.
Unprepared, Huang Dawei, who was pushed and staggered, was also very angry. It was originally very embarrassing for the goalkeeper to be pierced by the wicket and the gate. Now he was almost pushed to the ground by the opponent who scored the goal. This is not a provocation!
Huang Dawei turned around and stood in front of Kanazaki Mengsheng, and the classic "Little Japan" came out.
I don't know if Kanazaki Yumeo understood it or what. He has always had a hot temper and easily got red and yellow cards. Even though he was much shorter than Huang Dawei, he still stared without showing any weakness and pushed Huang Dawei with his chest.
"This is a bit unfriendly." Dong Lu criticized tactfully, "Japanese etiquette shouldn't be like this."
"It seems like something bad happened." Toshin Mizunami explained vaguely.
The two men's fight soon ushered in the gathering of players from both sides. As the captain of the Longteng team, when Lu Zhihui hugged Huang Dawei, he put Kanazaki Yumeo away with his other hand: "This is a game, please control your emotions.
."
Then the referee came over and tried to break up the fighting between the two people. Each of them explained a few words and calmed down the minor friction.
"Kanezaki-kun, as the team's top attacker, should calm down at this time. Time is too important to us." Nakano Kengo complained, "We are still lagging behind now."
After a small dispute between the two sides, although the referee accidentally added an extra minute of the game, Zhang Sheng replaced Nie Jiang with Tang Jin, which delayed some time. Kashima Antlers' tone after the passion for scoring on the other side was also relieved.
.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Dragons defeated Kashima Antlers 1:2 away from home. This was the first victory for a Chinese Super League team at Ibaraki Kashima Football Stadium.
After the game, Kashima Antlers captain Mitsuo Ogasawara said in an on-site interview: "I feel very ashamed. There was nothing worthy of praise in our performance throughout the game. Our mistakes caused the defeat of the game. I hope that next time
Rounds can be won.”
In fact, this is what Japanese fans said about Kashima Antlers after the game: "The opponent completely controlled the rhythm. It is a club that learns from Hiroshima (Sanfrecce) and Urawa (Ruby). As soon as it enters the league, it is full of energy.
Don’t pay attention to the AFC Champions League.”
The Chinese fans' reply was much more domineering: "It's as if you can beat the Dragons if you value the AFC Champions League."
Having such confidence is due to the good results of the four groups in the AFC Champions League. In this round, the Dragons won away from home, and in the other three AFC Champions League games at home, Guangzhou Evergrande relied on goals from Diego Costa and Paulinho.
Defeated Kawasaki Frontale 2:1, Shanghai SIPG scored twice at home from "Hulk" Hulk, Oscar defeated Urawa Ruby 3:2, Jiangsu Suning lost 1:0 away from Gamba Osaka with Teixeira's goal
, the three Chinese Super League teams all won against J-League teams whether at home or away.
Now the four Chinese Super League teams all occupy the first place in the AFC Champions League group. It seems that it is a high probability event to replicate last season's four Chinese Super League teams and all qualify first in the AFC Champions League group.
As the second round of the World Cup preliminaries is about to begin, the collective outburst of the Chinese Super League teams has given Chinese fans great confidence. Although fans across Asia are complaining that the Chinese Super League clubs rely on too many foreign players beyond the Asian level to score goals, but
If you win, you win. In football, the winner takes all.
Fans are full of expectations for the upcoming battle between China and South Korea on March 23.
After the start of this season, the Chinese Football Association’s new policies dealt a fatal blow to the Asian and foreign clubs of the Chinese Super League.
In order to ensure the team's offensive power, when each club introduces foreign players, all non-Asian and foreign players are midfielders, while Asian and foreign players mostly focus on the central defender position.
As a result, the Football Association's new policy this year can only recruit three foreign players, and the U23 team must also have a starter, and it is linked to the number of foreign players playing. This has led to the Chinese Super League clubs generally abandoning the central defender foreign players and using foreign players in the frontcourt.
In these Asian and foreign teams that are unable to play, there are as many as eight Korean players, all of whom are current or former Korean internationals, and they are all concentrated in the defender position. Even in the AFC Champions League, several Chinese Super League teams have
There is no Shangyawai.
Countless Korean fans were furious and criticized the Chinese Football Association's new policies online: "There are many hooligans in the Asian Football Association, and the Chinese Football Association is just one of them, and they are the worst hooligans! In order to frame our Korean team.
, it is simply shameless to force Korean foreign players from the Chinese Super League to not play!"
In the last round of the game, the South Korean national team’s Chinese Super League foreign players included Hong Zhaozhao, Kim Ki-hee, and Jang Hyun-soo as the starters. Zheng Yourong came on as a substitute at the last moment, with as many as four players; and this time the South Korean national team also called up Jiangsu Suning’s players.
Hong Zhengzheng, Guangzhou R&F's Zhang Xianxiu, Shanghai Shenhua's Kim Ki-hee, and Chongqing Lifan's Zheng Yourong, these four will start at least two, because these are the only four central defenders in the roster announced by South Korea.
From the end of the league last year to now, I haven't played official games for three or four months. No matter how strong my ability is, my state will be affected. It's no wonder that Korean fans are furious.
In addition, the greater benefit for the Chinese team is that the South Korean team's star Son Heung-min has accumulated two yellow cards and was suspended. In the first game, the culprit who broke the Chinese team's wing to pieces was unable to play. The Chinese team
It can be said that the defense line is greatly relieved.
Entering the second stage of the World Cup preliminaries, the Chinese team is extremely anxious in Group A. This anxiety is mainly reflected in the top three. Iran, which has 11 points, has 10 points, and is ranked because it scored one less goal than South Korea.
In the third-placed Chinese team, these three teams formed the first group. Uzbekistan, which is behind, only has 6 points. There are only two home games in the remaining five games. The hope of chasing points is getting slimmer. As for the points, they only have 3 points each.
With Qatar and Syria with 2 points, they are just disrupting the situation at best, and it is impossible to qualify.
Therefore, this match between China and South Korea is not just an ordinary World Cup preliminaries, but also related to the advantageous position of second or even first in Group A. Not only South Korea takes it seriously, but China has improved to the point of losing the game.
