The person responsible for this penalty was De Paul. Because Komai Zenge’s foul was a bit off, Urawa Ruby only had a wall of two people in front. All the players were crowded in the penalty area, preparing to deal with De Paul.
pass.
"The Longteng team has several header experts. J-League players are generally afraid of this kind of header bombing. Let's see how this free kick goes." He Wei explained step by step, "It was sent out, hey, this is a shot.
Really? Oops, Nishikawa Shusaku made a push, and the goal came! He took a follow-up shot, but it was blocked. He continued to make a follow-up shot, and the ball went in!"
"There was chaos in the penalty area. It was Lu Zhihui's follow-up shot." Xu Yang said with a smile, "This is the iron tree blooming. This should be the captain of the Longteng team's first AFC Champions League goal this season."
He Wei's tip was even more accurate: "Not only is it the first AFC Champions League goal, but it is also this player's first non-header goal in the Longteng team, right? This is too rare. I should say De.
Paul’s shot was so unexpected.”
Not only were the two commentators surprised, Zhang Sheng on the sidelines was also shocked. He did not expect that DePaul would choose to directly attack the goal with a free kick at such a small angle. Of course, Zhang Sheng felt that
The positioning problem of Urawa Reds goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa is also a big reason.
The replayed footage indeed confirmed Zhang Sheng’s idea. His position was too far left and forward, which gave De Paul a chance to hit the post. Although the ball was blocked by him and hit the lintel, it bounced back into the penalty area.
After that, whether this kind of ball goes in or not is a matter of fate.
Team Longteng was lucky this time.
After scoring the goal, Lu Zhihui happily celebrated with the Longteng players, and the fans in the stands did not hesitate to applaud and cheer for their captain.
"The score is 3:0. Urawa Ruby's next game will be difficult." He Wei said with a "neutral" attitude. "If we don't solve the offensive problem, we will always be beaten like this, and the formation will become more and more flat."
, In addition to being fouled and getting a card, there is also a high possibility of being hit from a long shot, so Hori Takashi has to find a way."
The commentator was emphasizing offensive matters, but Hori Takashi was thinking about defensive issues at this time.
Apparently Endo Hiro has been overshadowed in the position of central defender among the three central defenders. Master Pei’s previous idea was to allow players like Endo Hiro to participate more in the offense as a wing center back, but now that I think about it, let a taller player
It is really difficult for a player who is less than 8 meters tall and weighs only 150 kilograms to play as a center back.
In fact, in real history, Endo played far better in the defensive midfielder position than in the central defender position. He was spotted by the Belgian First Division team in 2018 because of his performance in the 2018 World Cup.
With his outstanding performance in the midfield position, there was news that he was with the Bundesliga team Stuttgart in 2019, and he was also regarded as a midfielder.
If they were behind by two goals, Urawa Ruby would still have the urge to come back. Now that they are behind by three goals, they are already a little discouraged.
"The home court of the Dragons is really like a nightmare for the Japanese team." He Wei briskly reported the history of previous matches, "In the AFC Champions League, except for the 2014 season when the Dragons were promoted to the Chinese Super League,
Apart from losing one game in the AFC Champions League that year, no J-League team has ever won at the home court of the Dragons. Big-scoring games are very common, such as last season's 3:1 home victory over the same opponent today.
Urawa defeated Kawasaki Frontale 4-0 at home in the last round, which was a great victory."
Obviously, the two commentators also knew that there would be no big improvement in Urawa Ruby's side, so they began to use the most common method used by commentators, reading the data with the information, and the most powerful thing was that they started talking about ancient times at the beginning of the chapter.
Otherwise, what should we say about the following game?
Perhaps because they didn’t want to make things difficult for the commentators, Urawa Ruby made another substitution three minutes after losing the ball. The Brazilian foreign aid Rafael Silva, whom the Longteng coaching staff had highlighted before the game, came on the field, and he replaced
It turned out to be defensive midfielder Shinya Yajima.
"Uh. Up as a forward, down as a midfielder. Is this how you fight?" He Wei was a little dumbfounded when he saw this substitution, but he immediately realized it, "It should have allowed Takuya Aoki to return to his familiar position as a midfielder.
Rafael Silva went up front, but he didn't know whether to play as a forward or as an attacking midfielder."
"You should know his position next time." Xu Yang replied.
What makes the two commentators very embarrassed is that since Rafael Silva came on the field, they have never figured out the specific position of this player. Sometimes he goes to the wing to dribble the ball, and sometimes he dribbles in the middle.
The ball breaks through, sometimes just waiting for the ball in the penalty area to dribble the ball through.
Anyway, after this player came up, he just wanted to defeat the entire Longteng team with the ball.
Zhang Sheng was also confused about Urawa's foreign player. This Brazilian player was obviously contrary to Urawa's overall tactics and was completely outside the system.
Fortunately, Urawa, which has conceded three goals, has few people involved in the offense. For a long time, as many as seven to eight players defend in the backcourt. Even if Rafael Silva takes the ball away, he does not give it to the team.
Immediate threat.
The problem is that Rafael Silva keeps wasting the ball, making the already frustrated Urawa players even more unbalanced.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Muto Yuki, who was replaced, could not get the ball and was already angry. The Longteng team passed the ball continuously from the backcourt and slipped him like a monkey. When Tao Wentao had already passed the ball
After the pass was passed, Yuki Muto rushed over to grab the ball to no avail, and directly pushed Tao Wentao.
"This action is unnecessary. It will definitely result in a card." He Wei was also unhappy. "The players from the Longteng team also gathered around. Captain Lu Zhihui complained directly to the referee. Sure enough, he got a yellow card."
"Urawa's offense in the second half was completely fragmented after Rafael Silva came on board. Relying on Yuki Muto alone to grab the ball in the frontcourt has no meaning other than wasting his own physical energy." Xu
Yang pointed out the essence of the problem, "Moreover, a large number of Urawa's backcourt kicks directly go to the three offensive players in front. After all, Rafael Silva can still get the ball a few times. Muto Yuki is 1.70 meters tall."
My height is such a disadvantage."
"He was also holding his anger in his heart." He Wei was obviously gloating about his misfortune.
But soon he couldn't be happy anymore, because this time Urawa committed another foul. Fernando used his speed and foot skills on the right to break away from the defense of Tomoaki Makino and Takuya Aoki. The former made a retaliatory move and directly stepped on the ball.
Fernando on the heels.
Fernando fell to the ground in pain, clutching his feet.
Tao Wentao, who was near Fernando, came up and pushed Tomoaki Makino away. This foul was too egregious and was aimed at someone.
"This is not the first time that Tomoaki Makino has committed such a bad foul." He Wei's commentator couldn't hold back his anger. "Less than a month ago in the J-League, Tomoaki Makino also committed a foul foul against a player from Consadole Sapporo.
, first kicked the opponent in the crotch, and then got up and stomped on the opponent's face with spikes, causing a conflict between the two parties on the field, and he was also sent off with a red card."
"Perhaps considering that he is a national player and does not want him to lose his form in the next top 12 matches, the Japanese J-League only fined him for one game. If it were in today's Chinese Super League, it would take at least half a year for the bo to continue.
Their nature is much more boring than Professor Qin, Shi Linzan, and Oscar." Xu Yang is one black and four black.
Players from both sides almost started to fight. As the head coach, Hassan quickly came over to stop him. At this time, Fernando was still lying on the ground. Takuya Aoki pushed Tao Wentao away with his backhand, and other players gathered around.
Hassan quickly asked the team doctor to come in.
The first thing Li Xiang did after entering the field was to check to see if there were any bone problems. Fortunately, at least Fernando's leg was not deformed, but depending on the situation, there must be some problem with the Achilles tendon. After all, it is difficult for him to get up now.
"Fernando was carried directly off the field on a stretcher. It seems that he was seriously injured." He Wei said worriedly, "I hope he is okay."
"The referee gave Tomoaki Makino a red card. I think the Dragon Team will definitely appeal next. This foul will definitely not be as simple as a red card and a one-game suspension. Another yellow card was taken out, and Tao Wentao got one.
, No. 16 on the opposite side, Takuya Aoki, also got one, which is a big 50 board. After all, both of them made a move." Xu Yang was still aggrieved by the foul committed by Tomoaki Makino just now.
"There are a lot of people suspended from Urawa in the next round." He Wei looked at the information at hand, "Muto Yuki and Aoki Takuya both accumulated two yellow cards, and they will not be able to play in the next game, plus Makino
Zhizhang is even worse."
Tomoaki Makino's red card meant that Urawa had basically given up on this game. Hori Takashi simply replaced Shinzo Kōgashi with the mixed-race player Onaibu Adachi, completely abandoning the main frontcourt lineup and leaving two
The striker with excellent physical fitness goes to the front and rushes.
At this time, Zhang Sheng also began to let more substitute players come up to experience the game. Huang He, Tang Jin, and Zeng Fusheng replaced Fernando, Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao, ensuring the speed and impact of the wing while strengthening the
Harassment in the frontcourt uses their physical ability to ensure the safety of the team's first line of defense.
Of course, Zhang Sheng's bigger intention is to let Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao, the two players selected for the national team, rest. After all, the last two rounds of the top 12 matches of the Chinese team are about to begin. There is nothing to do now.
Things are more important than this.
I heard that as always, last year the Dragons and Guangzhou Evergrande played in the AFC Champions League knockout match not long before the national team match. The Chinese Football Association even came over to express their condolences. This time it was Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG’s turn to play in the AFC Champions League knockout match.
, the Chinese Football Association almost directly issued an order for both sides to "hold back and kick" this round.
The new players did not disappoint Zhang Sheng. Two minutes before the end of the game and the first minute of stoppage time, the Longteng team got a corner kick. Nishikawa Shusaku's old problem of inaccurate judgment on high-altitude balls was committed again. His attack
He almost missed the football flying in the air. In his desperation, he shot the football to the edge and landed directly in the penalty area. Zeng Prosperity jumped the ball into the goal before anyone could react.
The Longteng team leads their opponent 4:0 at home.
Just like when they faced Kawasaki Frontale in the last round, the Longteng team defeated the J-League team with the same score and has already entered the next round with one foot.
"The game is over." He Wei made the announcement before the referee Hassan blew the whistle. "It can be said that the next round will not be a big problem."
Xu Yang hesitated for a moment, after all, He Wei was too good at it: "The Dragons should be more cautious in the next game, Urawa Ruby's home court is not easy to play either."
He Wei also responded: "Indeed. But it is very likely that by then, the mentality of the Chinese players and the Japanese players will be different. Seeing the Longteng team's game, I felt a lot more at ease. There is a high probability that the Chinese team will
They will qualify directly from the top 12 to enter the World Cup as second place in the group. Japan has a high probability of being first in the group. These are two teams that are both World Cup teams."
Hearing that He Wei shifted the topic to the national team, Xu Yang also said: "If Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao can maintain such a good state, our hope of qualifying for the last two rounds is very high. Let us also wish you the best.
The Chinese national team can once again achieve a historic qualification."
As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, the referee Hassan blew the whistle to end the game without even giving an extra second of the three minutes of stoppage time.
Perhaps the Dragons have won against J-League teams in recent years too easily, and a 4:0 victory did not attract much attention. Urawa’s head coach Hori Takashi was a little unconvinced after the game and said: "The Dragons
They are indeed the top team in Asia. They took the initiative on the court in this game, but we also had opportunities, but unfortunately we did not seize them."
Compared with the Longteng team's foreign battle, the Chinese Super League civil war one day later is the real highlight. Shanghai SIPG is about to usher in a home game against Guangzhou Evergrande.
Before the game even started, all kinds of news were coming. What about Guangzhou Evergrande’s previous game against Kashima Antlers? Fans were fined for hanging insulting banners and were fined for two games, and their implementation was postponed for two years; why Evergrande didn’t need Shanghai SIPG’s arrangements?
Instead of training at the alternative venue approved by the AFC, they went to the remote Shenhua Kangqiao base for training, etc. Things outside the field were once more lively than on the field.
During the game, everyone suddenly discovered that Guangzhou Evergrande, without Paulinho, was completely transformed into two teams under the impact of four powerful foreign players like Shanghai SIPG and Wu Lei, a "quasi-foreign player".
Due to a large number of injuries in the midfield, the defensive midfielder composed of Zheng Zhi and Liao Lisheng, one old and one young, could not withstand the pressure of the opponent. As a result, center back Feng Xiaoting was exposed to the opponent's offensive firepower and was injured in the first half.
Substituted in the second half.
Guangzhou Evergrande has reached the point where it can't be hurt anymore.
The final score was also in line with the performance of both sides on the field. Wu Lei scored twice and Hulk and Wang Shengchao scored. Shanghai SIPG swept Guangzhou Evergrande 4:0 at their home court. This is a match with Long Teng.
teams have the same score.
After winning the game, SIPG fans were ecstatic, and there were endless compliments. But some people were upset, and that was the people from the Chinese Football Association. Because Feng Xiaoting's injury meant that the Chinese national team would be missing one player for the next game.
