The opponent encountered a problem, but the Longteng team had no idea of sparing a hand. Professional competitive sports do not talk about gentleness, courtesy and thrift. It is better to use the remaining courage to chase the enemy, and not to pretend to be a hegemon!
In the last few minutes of the first half, the Riyadh Crescent's goal became turbulent. DePaul and Fernando's shots made their goalkeepers try their best to keep the goal.
The referee's half-time whistle gave Riyadh Crescent a chance to breathe.
In the locker room at halftime, Ramon Dias of Riyadh Crescent kept encouraging the players, asking them to play more actively and use the suffocating and pressing style of play in previous games.
Try to equalize the score early.
He put forward more demands for Eberd, who was replaced at the end of the first half: "In the second half, you strengthen your running in the frontcourt and try to create space for Hribin. If Omar creates space for you,
, you can try more long-range shots.”
At the same time, he has higher demands on Omar Khribin: "You have the ability to play better. Now their forwards only have two more goals than you in the AFC Champions League. You can definitely score more than him."
"It's the same as my analysis before the game. In this game, one of their two central defenders has not returned from injury very soon. Moreover, his physical confrontation ability is not as good as yours, and his heading ability is not as good as yours. As for the other central defender,
You are more flexible than him. Facing the zone defense of their two central defenders in the penalty area, you have your own advantage no matter where you are." Ramon Diaz continued to encourage Omar Khribin, "I
I believe you can score goals."
At the same time, in the visiting team's locker room, Zhang Sheng and the Longteng players communicated more about their physical condition and fitness.
Players like Ma Yongli who have not been back from injury for a long time and substitute Qu Wenming are the objects of attention of the Longteng coaching staff. After all, the pace of the game in the first half is very fast, and the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides is not ordinary.
After the start of the second half, Ramon Diaz's midfield arrangement was fully implemented. Ebold, who is only 1.70 meters tall, was very active. Anyway, he only had to play half-time and his physical fitness could be used as much as possible.
Relying on Omar Khribin's entanglement with the Longteng team's center back, at the beginning of the second half, he received a pass from Blake who came up with an assist and fired a powerful shot from less than 30 meters away, which was slightly wide of the goal. Three
Minutes later, it was Ebold who ran in the frontcourt and received a cross pass from Farage. This time, his shot was not in the right position, and his aim was slightly off, so there was no threat.
Although Ebbard's two consecutive shots did not hit the goal frame, his frequent shooting opportunities still attracted the attention of the Longteng coaching staff.
"Their No. 24, who came on as a substitute in the first half, was very active." Assistant coach Genke, who had been recording the field data in front of the bench with a small notebook, reminded Zhang Sheng, "Do I need Qu to guard him?"
"It's not necessary for the moment." Zhang Sheng turned his back to the court, covered his mouth with his hand, and said to Genk behind him, "We discussed this player before the game, and he is regarded as a regular substitute prepared by Riyadh Crescent for Eduardo.
player. But apart from being nimble with his feet and liking long shots, this player doesn’t have many characteristics.”
"The biggest difference between Eboard and Eduardo lies in their offensive organization ability. When Eduardo is on the court, he can connect with the two midfielders and the midfielder behind him. The most important thing is
He can form a link with forward Omar Khribin. But Eboard is separated from Omar Khribin."
"We only need to use regular defense to cut off the connection between the opponent's midfielder and forward. Ebold's long shot will be forced to be completed from 30 meters away, and Omar Khribin will try not to let him have an easy time in the penalty area.
Just a chance to shoot."
The Longteng team's coaching staff is analyzing the problem, and the Longteng team players on the court are also thinking about Eberd's two long shots just now.
First, goalkeeper Huang Dawei said something to captain Ma Yongli: "When there is a long shot from No. 24 on the opposite side, try to be more careful."
Then captain Ma Yongli also began to direct the defense. He told Qu Wenming, who had just completed a corner kick defense: "Tell the brothers and try to make their No. 24 long-range shot as far away from the goal as possible and into the thirty-meter area."
Just increase the interference.”
As the players on the Longteng team reminded each other, Ebold tried to kick at the front of the penalty area several times, but was continuously interfered by Longteng players and lost the chance to shoot.
Riyadh Crescent is attacking, and the Dragons are not idle either.
In the eighth minute of the second half, DePaul went all the way from the right to the corner of the right penalty area. Riyadh Crescent did not dare to be careless. Their left midfielder Aldo Sarika was on the line of the penalty area to prevent DePaul from breaking into the penalty area. On the left
Defender Shahrani came up to grab the ball and at the same time blocked DePaul's pass line.
After DePaul saw that the opponent's two defensive players on the left were attracted, he made a fake move to break through to the baseline. Suddenly he passed the ball with his left foot and sent the ball to the right back Huang He who assisted and came to the front of the penalty area. Huang He
He quickly passed the ball into the penalty area with a through ball. Tao Wentao timely entered the penalty area from outside the penalty area, and then decisively kicked the ball.
"The Longteng team's offense, DePaul's transfer, Huang He's pass, beautiful shot. Oops, Tao Wentao's shot was suppressed by the opponent's goalkeeper. A good opportunity to score was missed." Li Xin lamented.
Dong Lu was also very disappointed: "Tao Wentao didn't control the strength of his shot well, and the angle was too right."
Tao Wentao also waved his hands with great regret at this time.
The Dragons just regretted losing an opportunity, but Riyadh Crescent goalkeeper Almayov was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, if the Longteng team scores another goal, the game will be really difficult to play.
Since Fernando's breakthrough in the first half gave the Riyadh Crescent side a huge shock, facing this Brazilian player with extremely fast speed and excellent foot skills, the Riyadh Crescent side gave them enough respect.
The defensive focus has always been on his right.
Unexpectedly, this time the Longteng team completed a beautiful coordination through the right wing and completely penetrated Riyadh Crescent's defense.
Now the Riyadh Crescent is a little bit difficult to deal with. Fernando on the left has excellent individual breakthrough ability and is difficult to defend. DePaul on the right is not a fuel-efficient lamp. His impact is not to be missed, and his offensive organizational skills are also good.
, especially the ability to pass the ball is stronger.
The two wings that Zhang Sheng had been looking forward to before the game finally came true.
After experiencing this attack, the Riyadh Crescent side was a little concerned about one thing and the other. The two defensive midfielders had to increase their defensive area to defend against the impact of the Longteng team's two wings.
But it has always been possible to be a thief for a thousand days, so there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, after struggling with the Longteng team for more than 20 minutes, their defense once again had problems.
This time, the Longteng team still used Fernando's impact on the left to attract the defensive attention of Riyadh Crescent. Just when they thought that the Longteng team would still advance the attack to the center through the midfield transfer as before, and then turn to the right.
On the way, left back Shen Jun, who came up with an assist, made a beautiful long pass directly to DePaul.
At this time, DePaul has reached the upper right corner of Riyadh Crescent's penalty area, and the only person guarding him is Crescent's left back Shahrani. All defenders, including two center backs and a defensive midfielder, are standing in the penalty area.
top.
Compared with DePaul, who is 1.8 meters tall, the weaknesses of Saudi full-backs who are traditionally focused on speed, foot skills, and emphasis on offense are obvious - Shahrani, who is only 1.71 meters tall, cannot get in front of him at all.
Win the ball fight.
DePaul jumped high and headed the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Nie Jiang was now surrounded by a central defender and a midfielder from Riyadh Crescent.
When Nie Jiang saw the ball coming, he didn't make any adjustments. He directly hit his chest and pushed the ball in front of the small penalty area. The two players defending them didn't have time to turn around at this time.
Chavez in the small penalty area originally had his back facing the goal. When Nie Jiang pushed the ball to his feet, he leaned on the opponent's center back, turned around and turned the ball over, and then faced the goalkeeper in less than a second.
The volley from a distance of three meters did not give the opponent a chance to save, and directly blasted the football into the goal.
"DePaul headed the ball to Nie Jiang, Nie Jiang passed the ball, shot, and the ball went in! Chavez's shot allowed the Longteng team to score again and lead the opponent 2:0 in the away game." Dong Lu shouted loudly.
.
"This is a standard center forward's goal. It is a textbook movement of the center forward taking the ball with his back in the penalty area and turning around to shoot. The whole action is done in one go. It's so beautiful." Li Xin said full of praise.
"Argentina actually has a tradition of producing centers. There are Batistuta, Crespo, and Cruz from far away, and Milito, Higuain, and Icardi nearby. Who is not a good player? Check.
There is absolutely no problem with Wes' ability at the Asian level." Dong Lu began to praise the Argentine center.
After scoring, Chavez, Nie Jiang, who assisted him, and fellow DePaul, who initiated the attack, hugged each other excitedly and celebrated happily.
This goal can be said to have fully utilized the advantages of the Longteng players on the field.
Shen Jun has never been the kind of full-back with strong impact, but his passing is very distinctive-stable and accurate; DePaul has a strong body and strong ability to organize offense-can accurately grasp the timing; Nie Jiangqiu
He has a good sense of touch and a high football IQ - he has strong ability to handle the ball in the penalty area; while Chavez is strong - he can withstand and shoot steadily.
Zhang Sheng, who made full use of his players' advantages through tactical design, stood on the sidelines with a relaxed expression. In the two rounds of the game, he was able to score two away goals and lead 2:0. This situation is so wonderful.
Some people are happy and some are worried. There is joy and laughter on the Dragon Team side, but there is misery on the Riyadh Crescent side.
Falling behind by two goals, Ramon Diaz had to make another substitution. Midfielder Otev, who had a yellow card, was replaced and forward Faratah came on. This was an obvious move.
"The next defensive midfielder is the next forward. The Riyadh Crescent wants to strengthen their offense." Dong Lu analyzed Ramon Diaz's tactical adjustments.
"Although Faratah is playing in the AFC Champions League for the first time this season, he is actually a player of the Saudi national team and should play the second forward position between the forward and the attacking midfielder. It seems that Dias feels that
There was no connection between Eboard and Omar Khribin, so he sent someone up." Li Xin joked.
"We all know that two points can be connected together. It seems that coach Dias thinks that two points are not safe, and it takes three to connect them." As old partners, the situation on the field is beneficial to the Longteng team. Dong Lu and Li
The two of them started a traditional cross talk commentary.
Amidst the commentary, the desperate Riyadh Crescent began a crazy counterattack.
The two commentators were obviously not optimistic about Ramon Diaz's substitution, and Zhang Sheng was actually not too optimistic either.
The teams in West Asia, especially the top teams, are actually not bad, but their tactical quality and psychological quality are very questionable.
They often collapse when they encounter a headwind ball. They use the brain referee or the brain court to apply for a red card. Judging from the confrontations between East and West Asia in the AFC Champions League over the years, it is not that they are losing to their strength, but that they are committing suicide.
In the historical confrontation between East and West Asia in the past few years, although East Asia has repeatedly won, the scene is not as many people imagined - the West Asian team is vulnerable and not worth mentioning - on the contrary, many times the West Asian team is
The side that takes the initiative and has more opportunities in front of the goal.
It's a pity that West Asian teams have a chronic problem with poor defense. Big scores often occur, but East Asian teams can score goals when they seize the opportunity, and their defense is also good.
Zhang Sheng could clearly see the anxiety on the sidelines of the Riyadh Crescent players.
In the 25th minute of the second half, the Longteng team got the ball and got a chance to counterattack. Eberd immediately took action and directly pulled Qu Wenming to the ground.
The referee didn't hesitate at all for this obvious tactical foul and directly took out the yellow card.
In fact, there is no need for Ebard at all, because the Dragons' formation has not dispersed yet, and Qu Wenming has not completely gotten rid of him, so he can just interfere.
Just five minutes later, Riyadh Crescent got a chance. The forward Faratah they replaced received Faraj's pass, but Qu Wenming failed to follow up, allowing the opponent to enter the penalty area. As a result, Faratah wanted to
When he swept the ball in front of the goal, he slipped and missed the ball at all, causing the ball to roll directly out of the baseline.
"Kicking like this will be even harder on the Riyadh Crescent side." Zhang Sheng secretly shook his head.
In response to this mistake, Ramon Dias made another substitution three minutes later. He replaced the only defensive midfielder Milesi with a 1.92 meter attacking midfielder Kanu.
.
However, Kanu rewarded Ramon Dias with a yellow card.
Just after he came on the field, after Qu Wenming took advantage of his greater flexibility to get rid of him, he kicked Qu Wenming from behind and knocked down his opponent.
For such an obvious retaliatory foul, the referee would certainly not show mercy.
Zhang Sheng really shook his head this time. The head coach of Riyadh Crescent showed his anxiety in substitutions, while the players of Riyadh Crescent showed their anxiety in mistakes and fouls.
The stubborn problems of the West Asian teams are really hard to get rid of.
