Thirty-five minutes into the second half, the Longteng team continued to play high-quality counterattacks. Chavez, De Paulo and Fernando successively received Nie Jiang's ball and attacked SIPG's goal.
For a moment, SIPG's goal was filled with turmoil and chaos. Only Yan Junling's high attack and the three central defenders' supplementary efforts saved the goal.
What's even more terrible is that less than 40 minutes into the second half, Yu Hai suffered from cramps.
This season, Yu Hai has not had many opportunities to play, and he has mostly participated in games as a substitute. Now after such a high-intensity confrontation of nearly 90 minutes, and he can hold on until now without cramping, he has a good foundation.
.
Yu Hai's cramp was very serious this time. After the referee suspended the game, Cai Huikang helped him press his leg. As soon as he stood up, he immediately had another cramp.
Boas had no choice but to make another substitution and played his last card. Wei Guoguo came on and replaced Yu Hai.
As soon as he came on the field, Wei Guoguo's no-nonsense character came into play. He didn't care about the qualifications and reputation of the Dragons' players, he just did it.
In the 41st minute, Wei Guoguo rushed forward with the ball and forcibly broke through Huang He, who was playing almost the whole game. Then his pass found Hulk. The players on the Longteng team were obviously caught off guard and couldn't sing.
Instead of knocking down Hulk, he gave Shanghai SIPG a very good frontcourt free kick.
To make matters worse, Qi Ming also received a yellow card this time. In addition to the yellow cards he had received before, he had already accumulated two yellow cards.
The yellow card rule of the AFC Champions League is that before entering the final, all players' yellow cards will be cleared, but players who accumulate two yellow cards after the semi-finals are not included in this list. Qi Ming will be suspended in the first round of the final.
Given Qi Ming's importance to the Dragon Team, the Dragon Team suffered a big loss.
Standing in front of Hulk's free kick, Oscar's expression was very serious. This is the best free kick Shanghai SIPG has taken so far in this game.
The two Brazilian players half covered their mouths, discussed quickly for a while, and stood on both sides of the football.
"Wei Guoguo's breakthrough this time is quite decisive. This is the momentum that young players should have." Seeing Wei Guoguo high-fiving his teammates to celebrate the free kick, Liu Jiayuan did not hesitate to praise him, "Although he often makes some mistakes.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of controversy, but this kind of character also means that he will not flinch when facing a powerful enemy."
"Indeed. As soon as he came on the field, he created such a good opportunity for SIPG. Coach Villas-Boas should have sent him in earlier." Xu Yang was also full of praise for Wei Guoguo.
"Let's take a look at this free kick. Both Hulk and Oscar have a very good free kick ability to score goals. The two Brazilian foreign players have different free kick styles. Hulk's heavy artillery and Oscar's skills will test Huang Dawei.
The time has come.”
On the field, Oscar took two steps at first, but then Hulk rushed decisively in front of the football. The muscles in his thighs were completely tense. Then he violently volleyed, and his left foot directly hit the ball.
Ball.
This is a ground ball.
The players on the Longteng team all jumped up when Hulk took the free kick, and the football hit by Hulk passed through the gap after the ball of the Longteng team jumped.
The football was like a black and white elf, flying quickly against the turf, passing through the gaps, and heading straight for the lower left corner of the Dragons' goal.
Facing such a fast football, Huang Dawei's descent was blocked by his teammates, and he obviously made a misjudgment. The football quickly passed Huang Dawei, who had just fallen to the ground, and went directly into the Longteng team's goal.
At the end of the game, Shanghai SIPG took a one-goal lead at the Longteng home court.
"Beautiful. This free kick is so beautiful." Liu Jiayuan shouted excitedly, "A real heavy artillery. Huang Dawei didn't have time to react. SIPG took the lead."
"This is the ability of top foreign players. At this point in the game, Hulk still has such power. Not to mention that Huang Dawei's line of sight may have been blocked by his teammates just now. Even if he can face Hulk's shot, it will not be possible.
I really think I can save it." Xu Yang was amazed at Hulk's ability.
"In these two rounds, Hulk did not perform very well. Now he has finally lived up to Villas-Boas's favor. Including stoppage time, there should be seven or eight minutes left in the game. SIPG still has a chance."
"Yes, the total score has reached 2:1, and the Longteng team is only leading by one goal. The suspense is back again. Look at Coach Boas on the sidelines, haha."
At this time, Villas-Boas on the sidelines jumped excitedly, clapped his hands, and then waved vigorously, asking the SIPG players to quickly get the ball and kick off again.
Huang Dawei picked up the ball from the net in frustration at this time. Hulk didn't pay attention to Villas-Boas's actions on the sidelines. He and the opponent had a clear mind. As soon as he scored, he didn't celebrate at all and rushed straight to the goal.
In the Longteng team's goal.
Seeing Huang Dawei holding the ball in his hand, Hulk immediately went to grab it. Although Huang Dawei was more than a head taller than Hulk, he was almost pushed down by Hulk during the fight for the ball.
The two sides almost clashed. Fortunately, the referee had good eyesight and rushed over in time, separated the two sides, and warned both sides separately. A small disturbance was nipped in the bud.
Hulk, holding the football in his arms, ran quickly to the center circle and waved to his teammates to quickly get into position.
In the stands, Shanghai SIPG fans, who had been suppressed by the home fans of the Longteng team for a whole game, finally had a chance to speak out. But soon, diehard Longteng fans like Chen Jiangfeng reacted, and under their command, the whole stadium burst into laughter.
There were deafening boos.
The home DJ's announcement of the goal was also weak: "The goal...is...Hulk."
If it weren't for the rules of the football game, the home DJ would have wanted to join the boos directly.
This goal conceded was indeed beyond Zhang Sheng's expectation, but sometimes, the situation on the field cannot be predicted by a head coach.
Zhang Sheng did not replace the careless Huang He because of this lost ball. He quickly discussed it with the coaching staff - this lost ball had a lot to do with Lu Yangyang, because according to Zhang Sheng's arrangement, Qi Ming should not come alone.
Someone had to come up to defend Hulk, and Lu Yangyang was the player assigned, but he failed to keep up.
Up to this point in the game, Lu Yangyang's physical energy has been exhausted to the limit by constantly sweeping around the backcourt. This is most likely the reason why he failed to keep up.
After urgent discussions, the coaching staff made a decision, replacing Lu Yangyang with Peng Langjun, and Shen Jun was moved to the center back position. Anyway, he was being used by Zhang Sheng with his "ubiquitous" skills and was in the process of development.
In the process of playing the center back position.
"Coach Zhang Sheng also played his last card. Lu Yangyang, who was out of position defensively just now, was replaced. Shen Jun should be playing center back." Xu Yang analyzed.
"Well. Coach Zhang Sheng did not play Ma Yongli on the bench. It seems that he is still a little worried about Ma Yongli's health. After all, he has not played for six months. Shen Jun has played as a central defender several times before.
The position is quite satisfactory." Liu Jiayuan further analyzed.
"The central defender's position is quite satisfactory. If he performs brilliantly every time, then there is something wrong with the overall defense." Xu Yang further elaborated, "But Peng Langjun doesn't have many chances to play.
He has made no more than ten appearances this season."
"I looked at the information and found that this young player has played five times. But don't underestimate him. He is the absolute main force and an absolute attacker of the National Youth Team. This time the National Youth Team won the third place in the World Youth Championship.
He is indispensable for the good results of the fourth place. He is a good player in both offense and defense."
As the commentator introduced, the ball had already kicked off. As soon as the Longteng team took the ball, Wei Guoguo came up to press for it. Qu Wenming was very aggressive this time. Wei Guoguo pulled him and he fell to the ground and asked the referee.
He stretched out his hands to signal that his opponent had committed a foul.
The referee gave the Longteng team a free kick in the backcourt.
The broadcast cameras also frequently focused on Wei Guoguo. After all, he had created the free kick just now, and now he was working extremely hard. In an instant, he became the focus of the field.
In the 44th minute of the second half, the Longteng team's attack failed, and Nie Jiang's shot was blocked by Yan Junling. SIPG did not play any ground passes, and the latter sent the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick.
Hulk used his strong body to push away Qu Wenming and transfer the ball to Wei Guoguo's feet. It was time for the latter to perform again.
"Wei Guoguo got the ball, and it looks like he is going to break through with the ball again." Liu Jiayuan looked expectant.
"Huh? That's a lot of dribbling. It's about to enter stoppage time. The fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign, four minutes of stoppage time." The commentator's vision was wider, and Xu Yang introduced the game.
Process, "Ah, the ball was intercepted by Huang He, now it's the Longteng team's counterattack!"
Wei Guoguo on the court was obviously overconfident. After eating Huang He alive last time, he wanted to do it again. Unfortunately, the latter was not easy to mess with. Whether in the Longteng Club or the national team, Huang He
He has been a regular member for the past two years, how could he be bullied so easily by Wei Guoguo.
Seeing the opportunity for Wei Guoguo to force a change of direction, Huang He cleverly blocked Wei Guoguo behind him and grabbed the ball. Moreover, he was very experienced and did not get too entangled with Wei Guoguo.
The ball was passed to Fernando who came over to respond, and the latter started to speed up with the ball!
Also a Brazilian foreign aid, Fernando is not as well-known as the opponents, and his overall strength is not as strong as theirs, but he has a very personal characteristic - he is fast.
At this time, on the left wing of Shanghai SIPG, Wei Guoguo was too sticky and lost the ball. Villas-Boas made a special arrangement on the wing, so that the wing-backs and the full-backs were far apart.
Fernando has a huge distance with the ball.
When a fast player like Fernando encounters such a situation, he can only say that he loves it.
In an open space, whether it is midfielder Cai Huikang or Wang Necklace, even if you bite the bullet, you must step up. Not only must you step up, but you must also step down decisively. If you can steal the ball, steal it. If you cannot steal the ball, you will get a yellow card for a foul.
It is as it should be.
It's a pity that Fernando didn't give the two of them a chance. Cai Huikang's speed and agility were far inferior to Fernando's. The latter completed the pass with a quick acceleration and change of direction, leaving the former far behind.
Wang Necklace, on the other hand, was far less physically capable than Fernando. When he ran over, Fernando's deft feet came into play. He pulled the ball while dribbling at high speed. After a few consecutive swings, the former's center of gravity was out of balance, and the tackle was impossible.
Shoveled.
It is very dangerous for a centre-back to fail a tackle, which means that the player is like a maga storming the Capitol - a desperate move.
The opponent completely lost his center of gravity and was unable to make adjustments in a short period of time. Fernando no longer had to think about what was behind him. He was not greedy for merit and did not continue to think about passing people. He saw that there was a better position in the penalty area to check.
Weiss and Nie Jiang, who was preparing to enter the penalty area, decisively knocked the ball to Nie Jiang.
At this time, Shanghai SIPG's center back He Hao was still running towards Fernando. Nie Jiang was surrounded only by Akhmedov who desperately ran back from the frontcourt to defend. SIPG's last center back was beaten by Chavez.
With Si stuck behind him, he went directly into the penalty area without hesitation, and then faced Yan Junling who was attacking, he made a beautiful shot and scored Shanghai SIPG's goal.
"Nie Jiang's chance! Shoot, the ball goes in!" Liu Jiayuan shouted.
"Yan Junling has absolutely nothing to do with this one-on-one move. Less than four minutes after SIPG scored, the Longteng team equalized the score, 1:1, and the total score came to 3:1. This is also Nie Jiang's AFC Champions League this season.
The tenth goal.”
"It's too scary. Since Nie Jiang started playing in the AFC Champions League, he seems to have come specifically to break the records of the AFC Champions League. First, he took the achievement of the youngest goal scorer in the AFC Champions League from Japanese players; and then
In the 2015 season, he became the youngest ever top scorer in the AFC Champions League with nine goals; last season, even though the Dragons were eliminated by Guangzhou Evergrande in the semi-finals, Nie Jiang still scored six AFC Champions League goals; this
This season, he has already broken his single-season AFC Champions League goal record, reaching ten."
"Yes. There are currently three players in the AFC Champions League who have scored ten goals, two of them in this game, Hulk of Shanghai SIPG (in real history, it was nine, and now they have scored one more against the Dragons).
, Nie Jiang, and Omar, who is known as the Messi of the Gulf, but his team, Al Hilal of the United Arab Emirates, has been eliminated in the quarter-finals. The three of them are now tied for the top scorer in the AFC Champions League.
Top of the list.”
"And Nie Jiang has a great probability of going further. Entering the final, according to his current state, it is still very possible to score goals. It depends on whether he can break the 13-goal AFC Champions League goal set by Muric.
