Fifteen minutes into the second half of the game, Evergrande still showed no improvement in offense. On the contrary, Li Xuepeng was "bullied" by Nie Jiang and Fernando again and had to pay the price of a yellow card. Evergrande became a little anxious.
After Zheng Zhi received another pass from Lin Feng, he decisively chose to break through with the ball.
If he didn't have a cold or fever, or if he was three years younger, there would be no problem with Zheng Zhi's choice. His ability to control the ball at his feet, not to mention breaking through, but at least not conceding the ball, would be no problem.
Zheng Zhi, who is very confident in his physical fitness, hopes to do it one last time. He also knows that in a few minutes, Scolari will definitely replace him.
The idea is good, but the actual situation is another matter.
As soon as he dribbled the ball, Qi Ming came over him. After two attempts to push Qi Ming away, Zheng Zhi chose to turn around and prepare to change direction. At the same time, he protected the ball with his back, and DePaul had already aimed at Zheng Zhi.
They came closer and blocked the direction Zheng Zhi wanted to turn. The two of them trapped Zheng Zhibao in the middle.
Then, Qi Ming made a quick kick, and the ball at Zheng Zhi's feet was knocked away. He lost the ball right just past the midfield.
"The Longteng team stole the ball in the frontcourt." Lou Yicheng obviously saw the danger of losing the ball, and his tone was already raised, "De Paul got the ball, and the Longteng team had a five-on-three opportunity in the frontcourt."
"De, Paul is about to cut inside. Lin Feng missed the tackle. It's dangerous. A through pass. Chavez received the ball and passed it back from the inverted triangle. Qi Ming's shot was beautiful and the ball went in.
!" Lou Yicheng shouted, "The Longteng team took advantage of a counterattack in the frontcourt and launched a successful counterattack. After Qi Ming wasted an opportunity in the first half, he seized it this time."
This goal of the Longteng team caused the Longteng team fans in the 16th stand to celebrate wildly. Chen Jiangfeng didn't care whether there were cameras filming him this time. After cheering and cheering, Chen Jiangfeng hugged his girlfriend.
Just a visiting team fan in the stands, but they created an atmosphere in Tianhe Stadium that was no less than that of the home fans.
Paulinho, who had been sprinting back to the defense at high speed, had already rushed to the penalty area. At this time, Paulinho unhappily took the ball out of the net and drove it to the midfield with a big kick. Obviously, he was very unhappy when the team lost the ball.
"Although Evergrande's goal was said to be caused by Zheng Zhi dribbling the ball in the backcourt, the root cause is actually the team's inability to attack. Zheng Zhi can only take the risk and choose to do it himself. Maybe the Dragons are waiting for you.
"Liu Yue almost hit the mark, "After De Paul's through ball, Chavez ran into the penalty area, received the ball and took it to the baseline, then used his body to carry it back. This is the Longteng team's attack.
It’s an old routine, the only difference is that before it was Nie Jiang who completed this task, but now he is being stared at by Du Zhenyu, and the task of shooting is given to Qi Ming.”
"Qi Ming's forward shot is very similar to Paulinho's." Lou Yicheng obviously likes this player very much. "His offensive ability has been gradually developed this season, and the Longteng team has another offensive method."
The means are terrible, this team is still improving."
After losing the goal, Evergrande was obviously much more awake. The score of 2:2 proved that there must be problems with the defense of both sides, especially Guangzhou Evergrande, who played at home, and they needed to reflect even more.
Scolari reacted quickly. Shortly after losing the ball, only three minutes passed. Zheng Zhi, whose running had dropped significantly, was replaced. Huang Bowen came on. After he came up, the formation returned to 4-2-3-1. Lin Feng
Returned to the right midfield position.
Zheng Zhi's end can be said to be a watershed in this game.
When his physical fitness was acceptable, Guangzhou Evergrande had a stable ball-distribution point in the midfield and sufficient ball control ability. Now after he leaves, Lin Feng takes over the job.
Evergrande Club is very confused about the player Lin Feng.
When Lin Feng joined Guangzhou Evergrande, he came with the title of the second youngest footballer in the history of Asian football. At the age of 21, he spent 150 million yuan on Evergrande, which is also the highest score in the Chinese Super League.
The highest transfer fee in history.
Lin Feng's transfer is generally considered to be the cornerstone of Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield preparations for the next ten years. You must know that after this year's U23 policy came out, he, who has been playing for Evergrande for more than a year, still complies with this policy.
Because he was born in 1994 and is only 23 years old this year.
Guangzhou Evergrande itself also regards Lin Feng as Zheng Zhi's successor.
The actual result is that after Lin Feng came over, it did not meet expectations.
When Lin Feng was in the Longteng team before, he had several obvious advantages. One was short passing, especially the accuracy of passing at a distance of 5-10 meters. The second was his first-class running and catching abilities. Finally,
It's because his offense and defense are relatively balanced. Compared to those technical midfielders, he defends very hard.
But after arriving at Evergrande, Guangzhou Evergrande never used short-distance passing and control tactics in a compact formation. His weaknesses were immediately exposed. The accuracy of mid- and long-distance passes was low, and his weak dribbling ability prevented him from playing in the midfield.
Create rapid advancement.
Considering that he is only 21 years old, Evergrande also gave him the opportunity to practice. The problem is that he just can't practice these two skills, which makes Evergrande embarrassed.
In addition, Lin Feng has always had a good attitude in the game, his defensive effect in the midfield is not bad, and he can occasionally help control the rhythm of the midfield. Guangzhou Evergrande uses him like a useless thing - it is useless to eat, but it is a pity to discard.
In the end, the Evergrande club and fans also understood that this was a system player with abilities, but he needed to be effective in specific tactics.
The same is true for this game. Lin Feng started on the right. Although Evergrande's attack from the right was not sharp enough, his defense was pretty good. Once he moved to the single midfielder position, the offense improved and the right became very powerful.
Danger.
Scolari had to adjust his position on the field again.
Huang Bowen, who takes over Zheng Zhi's position, is a player who is stronger at offense than defense. Scolari is obviously ready to take advantage of this.
As soon as he came on the field, Huang Bowen showed his offensive desire and ability.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Paulinho's forward penetration helped drive away Qi Ming and Tao Wentao. Then Diego Costa played a pick-and-roll tactic similar to basketball against him. Liming in the penalty area quickly stepped out to defend.
Paulinho and Huang Bowen also stepped forward to assist Paulinho at the right time.
Seeing that Paulinho was unable to break through head-on, he passed the ball to Huang Bowen. The latter passed the ball accurately to Gao Lin on the left. This overhead pass of more than 20 meters was very accurate. Gao Lin stopped the ball.
As coquettish as ever, Huang He walked away even after stopping.
Next, Gao Lin's cross accurately found Diego Costa in the penalty area. The latter's header also forced Jiang Mingzhi to make a save due to the interference of Lu Zhihui, and Evergrande got a corner kick.
Taking advantage of Evergrande's threatening attack on the field, the DJ at the scene also announced the number of fans attending the game: "The number of fans watching the game today is 52,341. Thank you for your support."
The on-site DJ's broadcast aroused applause from all the fans in the stands. This number has exceeded all the attendance before this season. It is the second largest attendance in the history of Evergrande's home game. The first in history is the 2013 Chinese Super League.
In the 22nd round, Guangzhou Evergrande played against Guangzhou R&F in a derby match at home. There were 56,300 people watching the game.
For well-known reasons, the country later imposed strict requirements on security. In principle, the stadium was only allowed to be filled up to 80% of the capacity. Speaking of which, this game has exceeded the limit. After all, the number of seats in the Celestial Body is only 60,000.
"During this period, the football market in the Chinese Super League has been very hot just like the recent weather. This battle at Tianwangshan should have set a new record for all games this season." Liu Yue also noticed the number of DJs at the scene.
broadcast.
"Yes. It is related to the competition for the league championship in a season, and it is also Paulinho's farewell game. As long as conditions permit, Evergrande fans will definitely come to watch. The coach is obviously not willing to accept a draw. After Evergrande made substitutions,
The vitality of the midfield has reappeared." Lou Yicheng, as a neutral commentator, also hopes that the strengths of both sides will be more balanced. "Huang Bowen played a key role in the attack this time as the launching point of the second wave."
"Huang Bowen also plays another role. His corner kick kicking skills are the best in the team. His ranking in the Evergrande team is still ahead of Lin Feng. This time he will take the corner kick. Let's see if he can let Hengda win.
He creates a threat in the corner kick." Liu Yue is obviously very familiar with the tactics of the Evergrande team.
"Huang Bo heard the ball came out, and Liming made a clearance." Lou Yicheng stared at the court nervously, "The Longteng team's counterattack, Evergrande's side is in danger."
Liu Yue only talked about Huang Bowen's good footwork on corner kicks. The problem is that he ignored that Huang Bowen, who was originally a defensive midfielder, once Paulinho entered the penalty area, once the corner kick was pushed out by the opponent, both Evergrande's two defensive midfielders failed.
Positioned.
What Evergrande arranged was that Lin Feng was preparing for the second point of contention and the organization of the second wave of attacks at the top of the penalty area, but Liming's header was very powerful, and his wrecking ball went directly over Lin Feng's head.
, came to the empty space between Evergrande’s midfielder and central defender.
The Longteng team instantly changed from a defensive state to a counterattack, and the five players in the frontcourt formed a 5-on-4 against Evergrande.
Even if the Dragon player who got the first point was not Fernando, who was extremely fast, De Paul, who was holding the ball, was not slow in advancing.
"De Paul pushed directly into the middle. There are people on the left and right, let's see how he handles it." The Longteng team's counterattack made Lou Yicheng excited, "Nie Jiang reached for the ball, and De Paul passed it.
Nie Jiang passed the ball to Chavez who was behind him. Chavez passed the ball. Fernando missed it and it was Huang He who came in. The right wing was completely empty. It was a single shot. The ball went in!"
"The Longteng team's counterattack was too sharp. The players in the frontcourt were all very fast, and their tacit understanding with each other was also very high. Huang He didn't feel unfamiliar at all when he rotated players into the starting lineup. It can be said that he took over seamlessly.
Xiang Tiange's position. He also scored the first goal of the season." Liu Yue was very happy to see another outstanding young player emerge. After all, the more such players there are, the better the Chinese Super League games will be.
Wonderful, "Someone said before that with Xiang Tiange's departure, the sharp attack on the right side of the Long Teng team would disappear. At least from this strong dialogue, Huang He's performance is no worse than anyone else."
Huang He, who scored the goal at this time, did not have stage fright in Celestial Body. After scoring the goal, he sprinted and stepped in the air, crossed the billboard, rushed to the stands of Longteng Expeditionary Army fans, and waved his fist: "Yeah!!
!”
Chen Jiangfeng, like all die-hard fans, had already taken off the Longteng team's fan version jersey at this time, holding it in his hand and waving it desperately. In the weather of more than 30 degrees, even if he was sweating, he completely ignored the cold weather he had already suffered.
The smoker's throat roared desperately, cheering for Huang He, the hero of the goal.
"Now the pressure is on Evergrande's side." Lou Yicheng was also cheering for Evergrande. "There is still nearly half an hour left. Evergrande still has a chance. It depends on how Si Shuai adjusts."
Soon, they saw Scolari's actions, and Feng Xiaoting was replaced by Liu Jian.
"Before the game, some media reported that Feng Xiaoting still had a fever. He was persisting in the game despite being sick. It seems to be true." Liu Yue explained this unconventional substitution operation. "You can see from the Longteng team's counterattack just now.
At this point, Feng Xiaoting’s pursuit speed couldn’t keep up at all.”
Evergrande, which was one goal behind, was obviously irritated. Then the players continued to foul on the court. At this time, Shapron showed the ability of an excellent referee. Seeing the Evergrande players playing football with emotion, his
The penalty was changed from the previous loose standard, and yellow cards were shown to Paulinho and Diego Costa in succession.
These two yellow cards also calmed down the Evergrande players.
"Shapron is very lenient about physical confrontation, but is very strict about hand movements without the ball and out of position." Lou Yicheng praised the referee, "Our domestic referees control the smoothness of the game.
I should learn more from such outstanding European referees."
The commentators were talking about the referee, while Scolari made some arrangements on the court. Yu Hanchao replaced Gao Lin and continued to maintain the impact in the frontcourt.
Tactically, he suddenly became conservative again. After all, the first three goals conceded were all related to Paulinho's forward penetration and the pressure of the formation being too high.
In order to reduce the chance of Paulinho having loopholes in his forward penetration, Scolari had to slow down his operation, and the pace of the game suddenly became slow.
Goulart will deliberately slow down when taking the ball on the wing or counterattacking, waiting for Paulinho to intervene, and then Huang Bowen and the back line can catch up.
Slowing down the offense and defense makes up for the defensive vacuum of the midfielder to a certain extent, but at the same time it gives the Longteng team more time to return to defense, allowing the Longteng team to fully position their defense before attacking in a strong position. Apart from increasing the difficulty of the tug-of-war, the threat is not great.
Especially in the second half, after Zhang Sheng replaced Qu Wenming, replaced Tao Wentao, removed Huang He, and sent in Peng Langjun, the team's defensive ability in the middle was much strengthened, and the right wing was also a new force. Against a new force like Yu Hanchao, Heng
Great any chance here.
The Longteng team, which is based on defensive counterattacks, allowed the game to enter its own rhythm as the game time went by. Past experience tells everyone that once the game reaches this stage, the Longteng team is already in sight of victory.
