"Due to Qi Ming's suspension, coach Zhang Sheng got into trouble with Qu Wenming in this game. Before the game, we were worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of the AFC Champions League finals. We didn't expect that he would give in to his head coach and fans in this game.
A satisfactory answer." Seeing that Qu Wenming was fouled continuously by the opponent, Li Xin did not hesitate to praise him.
"It is true that there is a gap between Qu Wenming and Qi Ming in terms of physical fitness and technology, but his toughness and concentration on the court are not inferior at all compared to Qi Ming." Dong Lu nodded in agreement.
.
Just when the commentators were full of praise for Qu Wenming, Qu Wenming made a mistake.
In the 35th minute of the second half, Qu Wenming and Farage were competing for a header in the midfield. After he took off, he swung his arm to the back of the opponent's head. The latter was also a veteran and very experienced, so he directly covered his head and fell to the ground.
Woke up.
This foul also exposed Qu Wenming's shortcomings.
As an orphan, Qu Wenming is very independent and has a "delicate" mind. He plays as a defensive midfielder with not very good physical fitness. When on the court, he relies on his hard work and endless small moves.
But at the same time, Qu Wenming, who likes to play tricks, can easily be deceived by real veterans. Veterans like Farage were caught by such an opportunity.
It was obvious that Qu Wenming became emotional due to the continuous violations just now. When he reflected this emotion on the playing field, he suffered a loss.
The referee may not like such a foul, or maybe Faraj's painful performance affected the referee, or maybe in order to balance the yellow card given to the Riyadh Crescent player, he also gave Qu Wenming a yellow card.
Qu Wenming, who received a yellow card, was obviously dissatisfied and kept complaining to the referee that it was a normal fight.
Fortunately, captain Ma Yongli pulled Qu Wenming away. After all, to be fair, as a West Asian referee and at the home court of a West Asian team, Kraft's penalties so far are quite fair.
If you really have to argue with the referee, you will be the one who suffers.
Riyadh Crescent attaches great importance to this well-positioned free kick in the frontcourt. Except for one defensive player left in the backcourt, all other players stood in the Longteng team's penalty area.
As the Riyadh Crescent and the number one free kick taker of the Saudi national team, Faraj fought in front of the ball.
At this time, in the Longteng team's penalty area, the players of the Longteng team were busy lining up the wall, but the Riyadh Crescent side was busy "breaking down" the wall. Many players were squeezing in the Longteng team's wall, just to get something for themselves.
The larger space helped Farage clear the way for his next free throw.
As everyone squeezed each other more and more, the referee had to go over and warn the players on both sides: "Pay attention to your actions!"
It took a full three minutes for the human wall positions on both sides to stabilize.
Farage and Aldosarri were separated on the left and right sides of the football. When the referee blew the whistle, Farage took a free kick. The kick turned out to be a ground ball that hit the ground!
The human wall composed of up to fourteen people was very disruptive to Huang Dawei's sight. When Faraj's ball hit, Jahfali, who was standing in the human wall, jumped high and freed his feet.
route.
"Faraj directly attacked the goal and missed it. Huang Dawei pounced, and Hribin's supplementary shot made the ball go in. Oops, there is really no way to lose the ball. The score is 2:1." Li Xin shook his head.
"This ball, Farage's shot was very sneaky, passing through the feet of his teammates in the wall, and as soon as Farage kicked the ball, Hribin turned around immediately. Obviously, before the game, Riyadh took the free kick
Xinyue came here well prepared." Dong Lu's observation was quite careful.
After the goal, Riyadh Crescent suddenly became excited. Hribin, who scored the goal, rushed directly to the net, hugged the ball and ran to the center circle. This was to continue his efforts to save game time.
The Riyadh Crescent fans in the stands finally had their moment to explode.
The extremely distinctive large loudspeaker, which was carried by one person in front and held by several people behind, emitted extremely rhythmic Arabic cheers. The countless distinctive Arabic tambourines were used by the fans according to the rhythm after the goal.
The beating started, and the entire Prince Fahd Stadium was filled with the exotic atmosphere of Arabia.
"After this goal, Hribin's number of goals has reached ten, closely chasing Nie Jiang's twelve goals." Dong Lu analyzed the data, "Riyadh Crescent recovered a goal on the field,
The morale is high, and there should be about ten minutes left in the game plus stoppage time, and the Dragons have to hold on."
As Dong Lu said, the Riyadh Crescent players, who had just scored a goal, were very excited on the court, running and confronting each one with confidence. As for the Longteng team, especially Qu Wenming, as a player who was
The defensive midfielder who received the yellow card had to be cautious, cautious and cautious in his actions.
The players of Riyadh Crescent are also very experienced, and they specifically looked for Qu Wenming to make a fuss. For a while, the Crescent team made continuous breakthroughs with Qu Wenming, and Aldo Sari even made an extremely beautiful long shot from the top of the penalty area.
Fortunately, Huang Dawei struggled to drag the ball over the crossbar and gave Riyadh Crescent a corner kick.
When Qu Wenming got the yellow card, Zhang Sheng had already arranged for the players to warm up. At this time, he saw that his midfielder position was shaky and quickly took advantage of the dead ball in the corner to apply for a substitution.
"The Dragons have made a substitution. Cao Jinghao replaced Qu Wenming on the 17th." Dong Lu observed the actions of the fourth official on the sidelines.
"Cao Jinghao is a young player. He was born on December 1, 1998. He is not yet 19 years old this year, but he has played in the first team of Longteng for three years. He has started 14 games this season and has two assists. He can do well on the court.
Playing both left midfield and defensive midfielder positions, he is another outstanding young player trained by coach Zhang Sheng." Li Xin introduced Cao Jinghao's information.
"The Dragons have too many young and outstanding players. Qu Wenming, who was replaced, performed very well in this game. He was only born on July 7, 1996 and has just turned 21 years old." Dong Lu continued.
I have a very good impression of the Dragon Team.
After Cao Jinghao came on the court, the Longteng team's waist immediately stiffened. His physical fitness was better than that of Qu Wenming, and more importantly, his passing ability was much better than that of Qu Wenming.
The difference can be seen from the data of the two people - Qu Wenming has an ability value/potential value of 78/78, while Cao Jinghao has an ability value/potential value of 82/88. Qu Wenming started this game, and more
Because he has more experience and stronger defensive toughness, he is more in line with Zhang Sheng's requirements for this game.
The Long Teng team used a routine substitution to change the situation. The Riyadh Crescent side obviously did not realize it in time. Among their three substitutions, one was forced to substitute due to injury, and the other two were forced to do so by the head coach.
The operation of clenching your teeth and giving it a try is not a normal operation.
So when Cao Jinghao blocked Riyadh Crescent's offense in consecutive midfields and safely moved the ball out, Riyadh Crescent's side was still in a desperate attack.
At the 41st minute of the second half, Zhang Sheng felt that the opportunity had come, so he made his second substitution. Ni Kai replaced Fernando, who had been playing for almost the entire game.
"The Dragons replaced Fernando with No. 8 Ni Kai. This was a match-up substitution. The two have similar styles. Coach Zhang Sheng did not choose to defend because of the 2:1 lead." Dong Lu keenly discovered Zhang Sheng's
intention.
In the 42nd minute of the second half, Ni Kai had just played for less than a minute. Cao Jinghao found that the opportunity had come. This time it was Riyadh Crescent's right back Blake who assisted and crossed the half court. Cao Jinghao made a beautiful mid-range pass.
, found Ni Kai directly.
Ni Kai, who had just come on the field, was full of energy. After receiving the ball, he ran quickly towards the sideline with his hands in his hands.
As if it was a replica of Fernando's counterattack in the first half, this time Ni Kai and Blake pushed it forward and simply pushed the ball forward. It was time to fight for speed.
There are many thrilling moments in football matches, and the lightning-fast competition between players on both sides is one of them. This is the current confrontation between Ni Kai and Black.
Ni Kai's physical confrontation ability is not as good as that of Fernando. When he squeezed with Blake, he did not have an advantage. However, he was in good physical condition when he first came on the court. After being slightly pushed to the sideline, Ni Kai's speed burst out and he accelerated away.
When the latter wanted to end the opponent with a foul - he grabbed Ni Kai's jersey with his hand - he was shocked to find that he had not caught the opponent.
Ni Kai had already completely shaken off Black. Like Fernando, Black, who had been sprinting back and forth between the two baselines on the court, found that he could no longer run.
"Ni Kai's speed is incredible." Li Xin also became more interested in the speed showdown on the field.
Ni Kai, who got rid of Black, went directly to the penalty area. When he saw Nie Jiang, Chavez, Tao Wentao and DePaul all entering the penalty area and forming a chance to attack the goal, he decisively swept the football away.
Toward the middle, whoever can grab the point among his four teammates will get it.
Faced with such a situation of four ghosts knocking on the goal, Riyadh Crescent could only resign itself to fate. After the football passed through Chavez, who was on the far left, it reached the second point. Tao Wentao was pushed by the defensive player behind him.
, missed the ball, and Nie Jiang was very lucky at the third point. His shoveling foot hit the football, and even the ball was directly sent into the net.
"There were four people in front of the Crescent team goal, and the ball went in!!! It was Nie Jiang. He scored twice in this game, and the Longteng team took a 3:1 lead." Dong Lu roared.
"The same breakthrough from the wing, the same grab in front of the goal, this goal is exactly the same as the one in the first half. Riyadh Crescent's left wing was completely blown away." Li Xin also shouted happily.
"This goal basically ended the game. The Longteng team scored three away goals and two goal differentials to ensure the first-mover advantage in the two rounds." Dong Lu has already begun to summarize the final result of the final in advance.
.
"Nie Jiang also opened the gap between Omar Khribin and Omar Khribin by two to 12. Now the single-season scoring record in the AFC Champions League is set by Muriqi, who has just returned to Evergrande, in our Chinese Super League.
At that time, and Carlos Adriano, who transferred to Shijiazhuang Yongchang this season, both scored 13 goals during his time with Seoul FC." Li Xin began to think about Nie Jiang's possible new record, "After returning to the home court,
With Nie Jiang's current state, it is very possible to break this record."
This goal really severely damaged the morale of Riyadh Crescent. The game was about to enter stoppage time. The team was two goals behind and the players' physical fitness was at its limit. Even the head coach Ramon Dia on the sidelines
Si also gradually changed from annoyed when losing the ball to expressionless.
After kicking off again, under the instruction of Ramon Dias, Riyadh Crescent chose to retreat on defense. It was already 3:1. If the ball was lost again, there would be no need to play in the second round.
Forget about surrendering.
As Riyadh Crescent retreated from all fronts, the Longteng team was in control of the victory and controlled the ball. By the way, Tang Jin replaced Nie Jiang in stoppage time, allowing the goal scorer of this game to receive the cheers and cheers of the fans.
applause.
When the referee blew two long whistles to end the game, the Dragons players and the coaching staff hugged each other excitedly. The Riyadh Crescent players silently looked at the celebrating Dragons.
"Let's go pay tribute to the expedition fans." Zhang Sheng patted captain Ma Yongli on the shoulder.
All the players of the Longteng team held hands and came to the stands of the visiting team, cheering with the fans. All the fans refused to disperse for a long time.
It wasn't until several fans leaders persuaded the fans to leave the field, fearing to delay the players' rest, that the game finally came to an end.
At the post-match press conference, Zhang Sheng praised his team: "The away game is very difficult. Riyadh Crescent is a great team, but our team overcame many difficulties and gained a temporary advantage.
.We will use our best condition to face the second round."
The visiting team's Ramon Dias has now recovered and said calmly in an interview: "We anticipated many surprises during the game. Our opponents played better than us, especially their forward No. 9.
The strength is very outstanding, but we will not give up and we will get the score back in the second round."
On November 20, the Longteng team flew back to Jiangcheng from the Saudi capital Riyadh. This time Zhang Sheng did not give the players a holiday as usual, but allowed the players to conduct restorative training.
Originally, a victory brought Zhang Sheng a happy mood, but what happened next made Zhang Sheng more troubled.
Zhang Sheng received a call from Li Yuhong.
"Mr. Zhang, Chavez is a little unstable right now." Li Yuhong said worriedly, "Now he has found a new agent and is negotiating with me about terminating the contract."
Li Yuhong cooperated with Longteng Club to establish Wuzhou Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. The relationship between the two parties is still very close, and it was he who found Chavez through his connections in Brazil.
Now Chavez is definitely not as simple as just wanting to change his agent. Once he changes his agent, it is inevitable to make new contract requirements and ask for a salary increase.
This is completely in conflict with Zhang Sheng's current salary cap plan.
