Faced with the opponent's momentum, Zhang Sheng was very disapproving. They mentioned Eduardo's injury. In fact, it was not the same for the Dragon Team. It stands to reason that Qi Ming is the strong back of the Dragon Team, and his absence is still detrimental to the Dragon Team.
The impact is very large.
In the last game, Zhang Sheng decided on the grand strategy of defensive counterattack because he took into account Qi Ming's absence. Otherwise, with the overall strength of the Longteng team, whether it is home or away, he would be worthy of everyone in Asia.
Now he's fine. Qi Ming returned after his suspension and took a good rest for an extra week. In this game, he was able to appear in the defensive midfielder position again.
With Qi Ming here and it being at home, Zhang Sheng changed the team's tactics back to 4-3-3 after returning home after the first round.
On the front line, Nie Jiang, Chavez, and Fernando stood from left to right. Behind them were DePaul, Qi Ming, and Tao Wentao in the midfield, and behind them were Shen Jun, Ma Yongli, Liming, and Huang He.
My partner and goalkeeper is Huang Dawei.
On the match day, Zhang Sheng did not arrange any heavy training tasks, just a simple warm-up. In the morning, the team played a relaxed training game at the base. At 12 noon, all the team members had a meal on time, and the food was
Vegetables are the main food, and there is a little digestion after meals. The coaching team arranged a 40-day nap time for the players.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, under the arrangement of team leader Yu Jie, the Longteng team's bus filed out from the training base. In front of the bus were two motorcycle police cars arranged by the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau to clear the way to ensure that the Longteng team could arrive on time.
court.
Taking the lead in the first round made the team's atmosphere very relaxed.
When the players arrived at the entrance of the Jiangcheng Sports Center parking lot, a large number of Longteng fans had been waiting there for a long time. They either held up the team scarves in their hands, or raised their thumbs up and sang the club's anthem together.
Cheer for the Longteng team in the car.
When the players got out of the car with smiles on their faces and greeted the fans, they were greeted with bursts of applause.
Today is Saturday, and the AFC Champions League finals have given the community members a completely excuse to take a break. Not to mention the students, especially the energetic college students. In Jiangcheng, a city of college students, countless countless countless
Young men and women who are always venting their youth also chose to join in the fun in the restless football atmosphere not long after the Chinese team entered the World Cup.
Normally, every time there is a major game, there will be countless scalpers in the square selling tickets obtained from who knows where.
Some scalpers who are more assertive will even use a small loudspeaker to shout: "The tickets are issued, the tickets are issued!"
But today, all the scalpers are extremely low-key, looking around with sly eyes, walking around in the bustling square. Whenever they see fans who don't have tickets, they put on a sly smile, and ask questions in a low voice like a secret agent.
Said: "Would you like some money?"
The reason why they are so low-key is because in order to ensure that such a large number of fans do not cause trouble, Jiangcheng City has arranged for armed police to patrol the square. Regardless of whether the armed police will receive the task of cracking down on scalpers, scalpers will not dare to gamble.
Otherwise, the next days will really be decided.
There was a lot of excitement outside the stadium, and the two participating teams inside the stadium were also busy preparing for the game.
Just like the last AFC Champions League final, all media with the rights to broadcast the game also gave their most luxurious plastic surgery.
For example, pp Sports has sent out several groups, including the leading commentators on the first floor, including Liu Yue, Dong Lu, and Li Xin. They also invited celebrities such as Zhang Enhua and Wang Xinxin, and CCTV also invited He Wei and Xu Yang.
’s old partner, and also invited Ou Chuliang as a guest.
After the players from both sides finished warming up, everyone returned to the locker room.
The core players of Riyadh Crescent were injured and fell behind in the first round. Now it is an away game. Head coach Ramon Dias is more of a spiritual encourager - commonly known as beating chicken blood. After all, he also knows the differences between both sides.
There is still a certain gap in strength.
The locker room of the home team Longteng was much peaceful.
Many players had smiles on their faces.
Qu Wenming, who performed well in the last game but did not start this game, did not show any emotion. He and Tao Wentao sitting next to him were "asking" questions: "What does it feel like to win the AFC Champions League?"
Tao Wentao looked impatient: "How many times have you asked this question? What does it mean? It's just a trembling thing."
"Hmm?! I suspect you are driving." Qu Wenming immediately moved his butt away from Tao Wentao, pretending to be shocked and said.
"I'll go, it's because your heart is not pure." Tao Wentao also reacted, "It's not like you haven't won a championship. How many league championships have you won? You were so excited at the time, but after a while it became boring. Besides, this
The game isn't over yet, don't think about it."
"Yes." Qu Wenming nodded, "With the boss here, there won't be any big problems in this competition."
Qu Wenming's praise of Zhang Sheng obviously suited Tao Wentao, a die-hard Zhang Sheng fan: "Of course."
In the home team's locker room, there are basically such relaxed topics.
Suddenly, Zhang Sheng's clapping sounded, as if hearing some signal, all the players and coaches stopped chatting, and everyone in the locker room suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.
"The game is about to begin. I believe everyone knows their mission in the past few days." Zhang Sheng looked around and saw that the players were all wearing equipment and calmly ordered, "That is to win this championship.
"
"The only thing I want to tell everyone is to stay calm and don't underestimate the enemy. How you usually play is how you play today. Whatever your mentality was in the last game, keep that mentality this time." After a pause, Zhang Sheng said, "
Then victory is a matter of course. I’ve finished my words, everyone, come on!”
After Zhang Sheng finished his instructions, all the players were called by captain Lu Zhihui and gathered around.
"Come on, come on, come on!" The excited players folded their hands together, and the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became ablaze.
"Let's go." Ma Yongli, the captain of this game, took over the next process.
To the BGM of "FIFA Fair Play Song", the two teams neatly walked out of the player tunnel. Seeing their home team appear, the fans applauded and cheered enthusiastically.
After the pre-match procedures were completed, with a long whistle from the famous referee Irmatov, the second round of the 2017 AFC Champions League final officially began.
"Friends in the audience, friends in the audience..." Various commentators in the live commentary box spread their voices to thousands of households.
Different from the previous round, the Longteng team showed their strength from the beginning of this game. After winning the kick-off, they immediately organized an offensive and burned the battle into the half of the visiting team Riyadh Crescent.
The Dragons dare to press because they have confidence in their partners in the backcourt. This is the difference between Qi Ming on the court and not.
Although one minute later, the Longteng team's attack ended with Chavez not grabbing the point and the ball being confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper. Everyone saw the Longteng team's tactical direction in this game - an all-out attack at home.
Due to the absence of Eduardo on the Riyadh Crescent side, and the fact that Eboard, who replaced him, does not have the ability to organize an offense in the frontcourt, the tactics arranged by head coach Ramon Dias are very straightforward, that is, offense
Try to reduce the layers of advancement in the midfield, and focus on long passes directly. When defending, you must be active in pressing. Don't hesitate when committing a foul. The most important opportunity to seize is to counterattack, and the speed of counterattack must be fast.
So after holding the ball firmly, the goalkeeper of Riyadh Crescent kicked the ball away with a big kick. He was looking for the team's center Omar Khribin.
The players of the Longteng team still attach great importance to Omar Khribin, and Qi Ming is following him at this time.
Omar Khribin also clearly felt the difference between Qi Ming and Qu Wenming, who faced off in the previous game. In the last round, although Qu Wenming was also difficult to deal with, in terms of hard power, he could clearly feel that he was on the right side.
With the upper hand, Qu Wenming relied more on tenacity and small movements for passive defense.
But it's different now. Qi Ming judged the ball's placement very accurately. He firmly blocked the position, and then pushed the ball back under the interference of Omar Khribin.
Qi Ming's defense not only disrupted Riyadh Crescent's offense, but his header was also accurately directed to his teammate. This was a successful defense and attack.
It can be said that Qi Ming's operation secretly complies with the requirements of Marshal Shen, the "famous coach" in Chinese football: "When attacking, defend, and when defending, attack."
"Qi Ming's defense was very successful. De Paul received Qi Ming's pass. He passed the ball back to left back Shen Jun. Shen Jun passed it to Qi Ming. Qi Ming's pass was passed to the right winger.
Tao Wentao, Tao Wentao's pass, Fernando's turn, beautiful." Before He Wei could finish his words, the referee's whistle sounded.
At this time, Fernando was lying on the turf, and Riyadh Crescent's left-back Shahrani was signaling to the referee that he had indeed committed a foul.
It should be said that Shahrani faithfully implemented the pre-match tactical requirements of head coach Ramon Diaz. When the situation was not right, he immediately fouled.
Just now, Fernando used his physical advantage - Shahrani was just over 1.7 meters, much shorter than the former - and his foot skills to get past the opponent. Shahrani decisively knocked Fernando to the ground without giving up.
Opportunities for the opponent to attack the center back line behind them.
The Longteng team used Qi Ming, the core node of the midfield, to quickly dispatch and transfer. When the Riyadh Crescent side had no time to set up defenses, they immediately hit the opponent's dangerous area.
Although the referee Irmatov only gave Shahrani a warning and did not play a card, this was entirely because he considered that the game had just started, Shahrani did not commit a major foul, and Fernando was not injured. At the same time, he did not want to
Consideration of premature cards affecting the excitement of the game.
Irmatov also warned Shahrani solemnly: "I will play my cards next time."
Only three and a half minutes into the game, the Longteng team got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
The offensive formation of 4-3-3 attaches great importance to free kicks in the frontcourt, because since the head coach has invested so many troops in the frontcourt, these troops can be wasted.
When Tao Wentao stood in front of the football, the Longteng team put as many as 6 players in the penalty area of Riyadh Crescent. Chavez, Nie Jiang, Fernando, De Paul, Qi Ming and Liming all struggled with the opponent in the penalty area.
together.
Faced with such a heavy investment by the Longteng team, the players on the Riyadh Crescent side seemed very nervous. Obviously, they did not expect that the Longteng team, which had the advantage in the last round, would be so persistent in an indirect free kick just after the opening - such a big advantage.
, shouldn’t we just kick back safely?
When Tao Wentao kicked the ball out, the players of the Longteng team started running, which disturbed the defensive position of Riyadh Crescent. When the football flew into the penalty area, their center back Jahfali was obviously a little prepared.
Unfortunately, he happened to be driven by Chavez's running, and the path of the football was at his previous position. When he saw the flying football, he was already running and his focus was a bit forward. He wanted to use his feet to move the football.
Block out the restricted area.
However, the instability of his focus caused mistakes in his technical movements. He did not kick the football with the arch or instep of his foot that was off the ground. Instead, he touched the football with the sole of his foot. The football bounced on the ground under his touch.
After a moment, he continued to rush forward.
"Opportunity!" Xu Yang shouted.
Because the person standing on the football line was Nie Jiang, who had already run out of the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area at some point. When he saw the football coming from under Jahfali's feet, how could he let go of such an opportunity.
Nie Jiang pushed the ball lightly with the arch of his foot, and before the opponent's goalkeeper Muaiof turned around and made the save, the football had already entered the net.
"The goal is scored!!!" He Wei suddenly became excited, "It was only 4 minutes into the game and the Longteng team scored. This goal should not be offside."
"It's a good ball. When Tao Wentao's ball came out, Nie Jiang made a move to run towards the middle. In fact, he then ran directly to the baseline. Obviously he found that the path of the ball was coming towards him." Xu Yang said about what he just said.
This goal was observed very carefully, "The linesman didn't raise his flag, it was indeed a good goal."
At this time, Nie Jiang was happily hugging his teammates and accepting their celebrations.
"The game ended at 1:0, and the total score in the two rounds also came to 4:1. This is Nie Jiang's thirteenth AFC Champions League goal this season and his third goal in the final. He is better than fellow AFC Champions League striker Jin
Among the contenders for the boots, our opponent's forward Omar Khribin has three more." He Wei counted the statistics of both sides in detail.
"This goal not only gave Nie Jiang a high probability of winning the Golden Boot of the AFC Champions League this season, but his thirteen goals also tied the AFC Champions League scoring record. The game only lasted four minutes, and he had a chance to break it.
This record." Guest commentator Ou Chuliang put forward higher requirements.
