The commentators were praising Nie Jiang, and he was also celebrating vigorously on the court. In addition to this key goal indeed worthy of celebration, the celebration was also intended to delay the game. After all, as the captain on the court, he must consider how to
Lead the team to victory in the game.
SIPG fans were very excited about Hulk's goal before. Now it is the turn of Longteng fans in the stands to feel elated. Hardcore fans like Chen Jiangfeng celebrated even more vigorously. "Song of Nie Jiang" played again.
The noise they made spread throughout the entire place and could be heard miles away.
The attitude of the stadium DJ's broadcast was also completely different from a few minutes ago: "The goal was scored by No. 9 Nie Jiang, Nie Jiang, Nie Jiang." Every time he said Nie Jiang's name, the fans in the audience roared in unison.
He repeated it, and after calling his name three times, everyone burst into applause.
Since it was the home court of the Longteng team, the referee considered the feelings of the home fans and allowed the Longteng team to celebrate properly. It was not until he saw that time was running out that he went over to remind the Longteng team players as a symbolic threat.
Then: "If you do this again, I won't count it in the game time."
Nie Jiang was not self-conscious, so he stopped celebrating and called on his teammates to return to their respective positions and wait for Shanghai SIPG to kick off.
By the time SIPG kicks out, the stoppage time has come to the last two minutes. If they want to score two more goals in the last two minutes, they can only hope for a miracle to happen.
Unfortunately, the Longteng team's defense was very resolute. Hulk ran to the right and dribbled the ball, but was intercepted by Qu Wenming, De Paul and Peng Langjun.
Peng Langjun, who only came up in the second half of the second half, gave full play to his advantages of good physical fitness, superb foot skills and fast speed. He didn't care about Hulk who was still sitting on the grass and raising his hands to the referee and complaining about wanting a free kick in the frontcourt.
He went out to kill the generals and passed Lu Luopa, Akhmedov and Cai Huikang one after another.
Peng Langjun's extremely beautiful operation of passing three people from the wing once again aroused the home fans' crazy cheering enthusiasm. It was not until Shi Ke came over and pulled him down with a foul force that his personal show was ended.
Of course, this foul was greeted with loud boos and a yellow card from the referee.
The Longteng team won a free kick in the frontcourt.
At this point in the game, the SIPG players had of course given up, and the Longteng team had given them a face by not insisting on scoring a goal through this free kick. De Paul's free kick was not directly
After hitting the penalty area, he cooperated with Qu Wenming and took the ball to the corner kick area.
Seeing as many as four players from both sides fussing around in the corner area, the referee glanced at his watch and found that four minutes of stoppage time had passed, and decisively blew the whistle to end the game.
This whistle seemed to have drained all the energy of the Shanghai SIPG players. They either sat on the ground, or lifted up their jerseys and covered their heads, not wanting others to see their tears.
Some people stood blankly, watching the Dragons players celebrating wildly.
Wei Guoguo, who indirectly caused a goal and directly caused a goal to be lost, stood motionless in the middle of the court with his hands on his hips as if he had been stabbed. He looked at Nie Jiang, the Longteng team's goal scorer, with a face full of reluctance.
He didn't know what he was thinking, but after a long time he slowly lowered his head and slowly returned to the locker room.
"The game is over. The Longteng team shook hands with Shanghai SIPG 1:1 at their home court, and also eliminated their opponent with a total score of 3:1. After a year, they once again reached the AFC Champions League final.
Let us congratulate them." Liu Jiayuan said.
"This is the third consecutive season that our Chinese Super League team has reached the AFC Champions League finals. If we push the time forward, starting from the 2013 season, the Chinese Super League team has reached the finals four times in five years and won three championships." Xu
Yang even extended it.
"Indeed, the Chinese Super League teams have performed very well in the AFC Champions League in recent years. Counting the Chinese team's qualification for the Asian World Cup this time, it can be said that Chinese football has shown considerable advantages in organizing teams in Asia in recent years.
, and looking at these outstanding players on the field, we can have more expectations for Chinese football." Liu Jiayuan excitedly made his conclusion.
After a fierce game, the players of the Longteng team got a chance to breathe, but the coaching staff became even busier, because the opponent of the AFC Champions League final was also confirmed on the day the Longteng team eliminated Shanghai SIPG - the Saudi giants
New moon in Riyadh.
Now that the team has won the league championship, the AFC Champions League is the next trophy that the Longteng team must win, and the entire coaching staff needs to get moving.
Compared with the strength of the opponent, the coaching staff is now more concerned about the physical fitness of its own players.
The 2017 season has reached the final stage, and there are only three rounds left in the league - November 4th is the last round of the Chinese Super League this season; in the Football Association Cup, the Longteng team entered the final, and their opponent was Shanghai SIPG.
The dates are scheduled for December 3rd and December 9th; and the two legs of the AFC Champions League finals are scheduled for November 19th and November 25th respectively.
In other words, the Longteng team has played 4 more games than other Chinese Super League teams except Shanghai SIPG, including an expedition to West Asia.
Fortunately, the Longteng team has already won the league championship in advance. Otherwise, the next four games will be extremely fierce because the two championship titles will be decided, and the players of the Longteng team will have extremely high physical requirements.
The final opponent of the FA Cup, Shanghai SIPG, currently ranks third in the league with 53 points, 10 points more than the fourth-ranked Hebei China Fortune. With the last three rounds of the league left, they have already won the Asian Cup next season.
Crown's ticket.
But for Shanghai SIPG, with such a huge investment at the beginning of the season, it was officially announced as a European mainstream champion coach, and it introduced top foreign players in their prime years at a high price, and it also spent huge sums of money to steal outstanding players from the Longteng team.
If the local star of hope does not win a championship title by the end of the season, then this season is destined to be a failure, and neither the club leaders nor the fans will let it go.
Shanghai SIPG is determined to win the FA Cup championship.
Let’s not talk about the significance of the championship. Even if we consider the preparations for next season and win the FA Cup, the AFC Champions League next season will start directly from the main game. There is no need to play the qualifying rounds with the third position in the league. Pre-season preparations
It will save one month to start, and the players can also have one more month of rest.
This is a crucial month. The results of many teams in a season are determined by this month.
At the same time, the FA Cup championship also determines whether Villas-Boas will stay or go.
After being eliminated in the AFC Champions League semi-finals, there were already rumors in the circle that Villas-Boas was considering whether to renew his contract with Shanghai SIPG. Often such rumors are not groundless, but the strange thing is that SIPG should have immediately come forward to actively refute the rumors.
The club remained silent.
Not making a statement is also a statement! The FA Cup championship should be a key symbol of whether the club retains Villas-Boas.
As for the two-leg finals of the AFC Champions League, the Longteng team, which has the ambition of "four crowns", is certainly very motivated, but the West Asian clubs, which have not won the AFC Champions League in six years, are crazy about this trophy.
In view of this, in the last three rounds of the league, the coaching staff of the Longteng team worked hard to not only give the main players a good rest to ensure sufficient physical fitness for the four finals, but also to give them enough playing time so that they would not over-rest.
My feet feel so cold.
The specially customized lineup of half main players and half substitutes allowed the Longteng team to achieve one win, one draw and one loss in the last three rounds. Neither Zhang Sheng nor the coaching staff cared much about this result. What was important was that these three
In the first round of the game, all the players who were supposed to play were on the field, and no one was injured.
Among them, Ma Yongli played in all three games, and played the full game in two of them, which also marked his official return from injury.
Of course, more importantly, Nie Jiang scored goals in the last three rounds. Against Guangzhou R&F, he also scored his third hat trick in the Chinese Super League this season, and his total season goals also reached
34.
This number of goals made him the top scorer of the Chinese Super League in the 2017 season, far surpassing the second place Zahavi who scored 27 goals, and 14 more than Wu Lei, who ranked third.
His 34 goals in the season also broke the record of 30 goals scored by his former teammate Pato. At the same time, his total number of goals in the Chinese Super League has also reached 57, and he has squeezed into the tenth place in the historical scorer list of Chinese Super League players.
This is just his Chinese Super League data in three seasons, comparable to Elkeson who just entered the Chinese Super League for three seasons - he scored 59 goals in three seasons.
As early as the AFC AFC Champions League quarter-finals draw ceremony on June 6 this year, the home and away order of the two legs of this season's AFC Champions League finals has been decided. The winner of the East Asian finals will have the advantage of visiting first and then hosting.
It is exactly the same as the year 2015 when the Dragons won the AFC Champions League.
Also as early as the first leg of the AFC Champions League semi-finals against Shanghai SIPG, the Longteng coaching staff, who predicted that they had a high probability of advancing to the finals, began investigating their opponents in the AFC Champions League finals.
In the first round of the West Asian finals, Riyadh Crescent defeated its rival Iranian giant Pesepolis 4:0 at its home court. The Longteng team also saved the effort of investigating the two teams at the same time and spent all its resources in the finals.
Invested in the investigation of Riyadh Crescent.
Facts have proved that the decision of the Longteng coaching staff was correct. As expected, Riyadh Crescent reached the AFC Champions League final after drawing with its opponent in the away game.
Compared with the opponent Al Ahli in Dubai in the last AFC Champions League final, this time the opponent Riyadh Crescent is very different from them.
The former is an upstart who only entered the AFC Champions League finals after defeating Riyadh Crescent in a side kick, while Riyadh Crescent is the leading established and powerful team in Asia.
This Saudi team, founded in 1957, has won the Saudi top league championship 15 times and the Asian championship twice - but these two were won in the Asian Club Cup before the restructuring of the AFC Champions League.
In real history, in the 2014 AFC Champions League, if the AFC had not sent a super black whistle like Nishimura Yuichi to almost shamelessly protect the A-League team Western Sydney Wanderers, they would have won the first place in the AFC Champions League after the restructuring.
AFC Champions League - as evidenced by Yuichi Nishimura's half-year suspension from the AFC after the game.
Even so, they still broke the 8-year history of West Asian clubs without an AFC Champions League title in 2019 and won the first AFC Champions League title after the restructuring of West Asian clubs.
Their victory this time was undisputed. After the game, they filled all the positions of the best team in the AFC Champions League finals. This was a naked contempt for their opponents in the AFC Champions League finals, and it was also the highest praise for their team's strength.
The championship in 2019 also made them the club with the most championships among all teams in Asia.
It can be said that the strength of this team has always been the best among Asian clubs.
Riyadh Crescent are well deserved to be named Asia's No. 1 club of the 20th century by iffhs - the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.
The Longteng coaching staff's investigation of Riyadh Crescent's performance during this period proved that they are indeed strong - they have won 8 games in the last 9 rounds and only lost once in the last 33 rounds, and that was in July; this season's AFC Champions League
In the first 12 rounds of the league, they have 7 wins and 5 draws and are unbeaten so far. They have won 5 games in the last 6 rounds. In the last 23 away games, they have 17 wins and 6 draws in a row and are unbeaten.
If the Dragons are dominant in East Asia, then Riyadh Crescent is the king of West Asia.
Just like the Longteng team, which consists of half the national team and three foreign players, the Riyadh Crescent side is even more exaggerated. They are mostly the core players of the Saudi national team, Garcia's national team, and Asia's top foreign players.
As the Saudi national team, which like the Chinese team, directly qualified from the group stage in the top 12 that just ended, their strength is not bad.
For example, the goalkeeper of Riyadh Crescent Team Muaiof is the number one goalkeeper of the Saudi national team; three of the four starting defenders of the Saudi national team - Blake, Al-Houssawi, and Shahrani - are all from the Riyadh Crescent team.
The starting defender, the soul of the Saudi national team, and the core midfielder Faraj is also the team's midfield engine.
In terms of foreign aid, the organizing midfielder Milesi from Uruguay scored 2 assists in the semi-finals and eliminated his opponent. As for the other foreign aid Eduardo, he is even more ruthless from Ligue 1, with 10 goals and 5 assists in 30 appearances.
The data is very dazzling.
When it comes to foreign aid, we have to focus on Omar Khribin, a foreign aid from Syria who plays in the Riyadh Crescent team.
Omar Khribin is one of the few people who can bring some comfort to the Syrian people during the six or seven years of war in Syria.
In his early years, due to some indescribable reasons, he could only play in the Iraqi League and the local league. It was not until he joined the UAE League, an important league in West Asia last year, that his strength was discovered by everyone.
Especially this year, he was valued by Riyadh Crescent and was loaned to the team. In just six months, he played 21 games in various competitions, scoring 16 goals and 4 assists, including two hat tricks.
His goals helped the team reach first place in the league and win the cup. In the just-concluded AFC Champions League semi-finals, he scored a hat trick at home and scored twice on the road to help the team 6-2.
Eliminating the Iranian giants and advancing to the finals, it can be said that he destroyed his opponents alone.
Because of these extremely brilliant performances, he was also selected into this year's list of Asian Footballer of the Year along with the "Messi of the Gulf" Omar and Nie Jiang.
On some international social media that does not exist in China, Omar Khribin has been favored by many West Asian fans. They all believe that Khribin is no worse than Nie Jiang in terms of strength. Nie Jiang is more because of China.
It was hyped only because of its market background.
In actual history, Omar Khribin defeated Wu Lei and Omar to win the 2017 Asian Footballer of the Year award by relying on his consecutive outstanding performances in the league and the national team.
Now, the AFC Champions League final is not only the final between the Dragons and Riyadh Crescent, but also the final of the Asian Footballer of the Year competition between Nie Jiang and Omar Khribin.
