39. Attack its weaknesses

After this series of fouls, the pace of the game on the field finally slowed down, and there was not much time left in the first half, and the players of the Longteng team could no longer maintain a high-intensity attack, and finally the score of the first half became 0:0.

At halftime, Zhang Sheng did not replace the tactics and personnel, he just asked about Nie Jiang's situation with concern, fortunately, although Nie Jiang was violated a lot, but most of them were some small injuries, it seems that Guangzhou Evergrande's old fritters have a very good grasp of the scale.

When Zhang Sheng asked Nie Jiang if he wanted to come down to rest in the second half, Nie Jiang, who was holding his breath in his heart, obviously disagreed, and said: "It doesn't matter, I played more flexibly in the second half." ”

Zhang Sheng could only pat him on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "Then you be careful, don't get hurt." ”

Like Zhang Sheng, Cannavaro also thinks about the player's body, but Zhang Sheng thinks about how to protect the player's body, and Cannavaro thinks about how to save the player's physical energy and save strength for the next AFC Champions League.

In the end, Cannavaro still chose to rotate, he replaced the captain Zheng Zhi with Zhang Jiaqi, who was introduced at the beginning of the season, after all, Zheng Zhi's role in the team is too important, if this game allows the veteran to completely exhaust his physical energy, then the next round of the AFC Champions League will really be blind.

Cannavaro's substitution intention is also very clear, that is, let Zhang Jiaqi use his super strong body to be responsible for the sweep of the midfield, and Huang Bowen will replace Zheng Zhi's position to be responsible for the ball.

Before Cannavaro replaced Zhang Jiaqi at the last moment of the game, and when Evergrande maintained a one-goal lead, he would remove a midfielder and replace Zhang Jiaqi to increase the hardness and height of the midfield.

Replacing him at half-time now shows that Cannavaro had only one thought in the second half – to defend to the death.

At the beginning of the second half, all the commentators easily saw Cannavaro's thoughts, and some commentators even began to criticize him for doing this, such as Dong Lu, who has always been extremely sharp in words, said: "Cannavaro's substitution is too demoralizing, as a four-consecutive champion team in the Chinese Super League, in the face of the challenger at his home stadium and choose to show weakness, this is not the temperament that a championship team should have." ”

Dong Lu's words are still very reasonable, for example, Lin Feng, the captain of the current Longteng team, said to his teammates after completing an attack: "Guangzhou Evergrande is afraid of us now, they want to keep the draw in their home stadium, we can't let them succeed easily, and everyone will continue to rush!"

With the encouragement of the captain on the field, the young players of the Longteng team became more combative, and the assists of the two wing-backs became more and more sharp.

As a last resort, Guangzhou Evergrande once again sacrificed the tactics of a midfield foul, and Zhang Jiaqi, who was in charge of sweeping, was particularly conspicuous.

As a 1.92-meter-tall and very strong defender, Zhang Jiaqi's defensive ability in the squatting pit is still good, but his weaknesses are also extremely obvious.

The first is that he turns too slowly.

In the ninth minute of the second half, Lin Feng passed the ball to Nie Jiang who retreated to answer, Zhang Jiaqi chose to resist Nie Jiang from behind, his physical fitness was indeed far superior to Nie Jiang, so that Nie Jiang couldn't turn around at all, but Nie Jiang passed the ball back to Lin Feng very lightly, and then immediately began to turn around.

Lin Feng also accurately passed the ball to Nie Jiang again, at this time, the turning speed of the two people reflected the gap, Nie Jiang had already turned around to get the ball, Zhang Jiaqi had just turned around successfully, and when Nie Jiang was about to accelerate with the ball, Zhang Jiaqi could only choose to foul. Fortunately, the place was far from the penalty area, and the referee was merciful, only warning him, and at the same time gave the Longteng team a free kick in front.

Secondly, Zhang Jiaqi also has a weakness that his positional sense is very poor, and his defensive ability in sports battles and his static state are completely two levels.

In the thirteenth minute of the second half, Lin Feng took the ball in the midfield, Zhang Jiaqi came over for the first time, it should be said that his choice was right, that is, not to let Lin Feng easily pass the ball, but Lin Feng wisely chose to knock the ball back to Roque Gill, originally the best choice as a back at this time was to follow Lin Feng who passed the ball to the end, but after seeing Lin Feng run sideways and leave, he chose to stick to the middle.

As a result, Roque Gill passed the ball to Lin Feng again, allowing Lin Feng to play with Wei Zhimin on the left side, but fortunately, Evergrande's right-back Shu Jun was extremely focused and shoveled Wei Zhimin's dribbling out of the sideline.

The biggest difference between Guangzhou Evergrande and history this season is that the right-back Zhang Linpeng stayed in the ocean successfully, and then poached the captain Shu Jun from the Longteng team, compared with Zhang Linpeng, Shu Jun is not the kind of player who is very eye-catching, he can't use super long-range shots on the field like Zhang Linpeng to catch people's attention, but he will not be like Zhang Linpeng often overforced, and the defensive action is rough and leads to various fouls.

Shu Junqiang's place is not his technique or body, but his extremely high mental strength, he is extremely stable at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, when he needs to attack, he can rush desperately, and when he needs to defend, no matter who the attacker is, he can entangle the opponent to the death, unless the gap between his strength and the opponent is too big.

According to Zhang Sheng's previous observations, that is, Shu Jun has an ability value of 71, and he can reflect this ability of 71 every minute of every game, instead of being like other players, when the state is good, the ability value can be 100%, and when the state is bad, it will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, such a player is extremely difficult, and the Longteng team rarely can cause big trouble from the right side of Shu Jun's defense in this game.

After getting acquainted with Zhang Jiaqi's technical characteristics, the players on the field of the Longteng team began to target him, Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao kept retreating to attack his defensive area, and even Pato and Ben Alpha often switched positions to this side.

Under the attack of these players with superior skills, Zhang Jiaqi finally made a major mistake.

In the sixteenth minute of the second half, Ben Alfa, who was super active in the game, came to the middle, and when facing Zhang Jiaqi's defense, Ben Alfa completely stunned him with continuous direction shaking, and finally Ben Alfa easily bypassed him.

There was a world of difference between defensive mistakes in the middle of midfield and on the wings, and Ben Arfa had a lot of room to continue to break through to the box and split the ball on the left and right.

Zhang Jiaqi obviously knew what was at stake, and he didn't even think about turning around and hooking Ben Alpha from behind.

This foul made Zhang Sheng angry on the sidelines, knowing that Ben Alpha was the man who had broken his leg, his knees and shin bones were far more fragile than ordinary players, so the sweeping leg behind him was extremely dangerous.

However, Zhang Shengsheng waited only for a yellow card and a warning from the referee.

This kind of punishment obviously can't satisfy Zhang Sheng, and even the commentators feel that the referee is too merciful, so Dong Lu said: "Zhang Jiaqi's tackle, is this action completely according to the leg, right? Or the foul behind him, let's see how the referee decides." ”

Dong Lu's partner Li Xin was also very dissatisfied when he saw that the referee only issued a yellow card: "Yellow card, it's just a yellow card." Maybe he didn't know much about the foul? In a European league, a red card is a certainty. I don't know if there will be additional penalties from the Football Association after the game. ”

Lin Feng, the captain of the Longteng team on the field, also rushed over to protect Ben Alpha as soon as possible, and then began to complain to the referee: "This action is too dangerous, this is a waste action, and it should be given a red card." ”

Then Lin Feng leaned down again and asked Ben Alpha, "Are you okay?"

Ben Alpha clutched his feet in pain and didn't answer at all.

Lin Feng hurriedly asked the team doctor to enter the field, and Li Xiang also ran to the field with the medical box.

After Li Xiang's careful examination, he slowly helped Ben Alpha up, seeing Li Xiang's action, Zhang Sheng was relieved and was able to stand up, indicating that at least the bones must be fine, just see if the ligament is not strained.

Lee then helped Ben Alpha, who was limping, to the sideline for treatment, while the rest of the Dragons began to arrange the free-kick tactics this time.

Because Ben Alfa was not on the field, there were only two people standing in front of the free kick this time, Pato and Lin Feng, and in the end, Pato's shot was a little off the mark, which did not pose any threat to Zeng Cheng.

Ben Arfa was back on the pitch after the free-kick, but less than five minutes later he made a gesture to the sidelines to take a break.

Zhang Sheng had to replace him with Ivo.

Seeing Ben Alpha's actions, He Wei said worriedly: "It seems that Ben Alpha still can't hold on, I hope it's not a big problem." ”

Xu Yang shook his head and said: "Ben Alpha is down, and the side of the Longteng team doesn't know who is going to play." However, Evergrande's two backs have yellow cards, and Ivo is still very threatening to play in the middle. ”

Zhang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, was full of resentment about the referee's decision just now, because such a penalty was a very big blow to the technical players of the Chinese Super League.

In fact, in Zhang Sheng's view, the international referee standard is the only one, there is no so-called scale, only loose and tight, but it will not deviate from the scale.

For example, if our referee scale deviates from the international refereeing standard by two degrees, then the use of ball control techniques, especially dribbling techniques, will be limited and thus reduced by 20. If you play superior skills, I will foul and intercept blocking, and if there are more serious tackles that do not care about the consequences, our players can only play with a lower technical standard of 20 for a long time, and when it comes to international matches, the referee allows you to use +20 skills, and when you let go of the kick, we will not use it.

It can be said that the scale of domestic referees is so large that it stifles the technical superiority, making the skills of those skilled players useless.

It's a pity that this matter was not solved in a day or two, and it was not something that Zhang Sheng had the ability to solve.

Ben Arfa's departure changed the formation of the Dragons again, Ivo came on and stood in the forward position, Tao Wentao returned to the familiar right midfield position, Pato pushed to the center forward position, and Nie Jiang came to the left side.

Unlike Ben Alpha, Ivo used his stronger body to play very aggressively after coming on the field, and his comprehensive ability was stronger than the previous forward Tao Wentao, and Guangzhou Evergrande's two backs were more timid with yellow cards as Xu Yang said.

Cannavaro had to make another substitution, he replaced Huang Bowen with Liu Jian, who was more defensive, and now Guangzhou Evergrande has two purely defensive midfielders in the midfield position.

Liu Jian's play made Guangzhou Evergrande's middle defense a lot more stable, but he was far inferior to Huang Bowen in terms of aggression, and Guangzhou Evergrande completely became a stubborn posture.

When Guangzhou Evergrande's defense finally stabilized, they encountered another problem, that is, lack of physical fitness.

Especially after 70 minutes of the game, Evergrande's players were obviously a little unable to run, and many technical movements began to deform.

In particular, Li Xuepeng on the left side was attacked by the Longteng team, and now he has reached the limit of his body.

In the 75th minute, Tao Wentao cooperated with Lin Feng and Xiao Yunfan to attack the left side of Guangzhou Evergrande again, and several players, including Gao Lin, Yu Hanchao, and Liu Jian, all came over to help Li Xuepeng attack and defend.

In the first half, there are often 3-3 or 4-4 regional confrontations between Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande in this area, before Guangzhou Evergrande could still rely on non-stop running to cut off the Longteng team's small-scale fast pass express, but now physical fitness has become their bottleneck, and almost all Evergrande defenders are a beat slower than the Longteng players' passes.

When Lin Feng's last pass was handed over to Xiao Yunfan, Xiao Yunfan suddenly accelerated and rushed out from Li Xuepeng's side, Li Xuepeng, who was facing him, couldn't raise his speed, so he could only quickly raise his hand to the referee to signal Xiao Yunfan to be offside, but the linesman didn't have any expression, and followed Xiao Yunfan all the way to the bottom line, and the Longteng team got another good opportunity.

The first person to react in the Guangzhou Evergrande team was Feng Xiaoting, who hurriedly ran over to fill in for Li Xuepeng, and Liu Jian retreated to the position of central defender to fill in for Feng Xiaoting.

Xiao Yunfan passed the ball decisively when Feng Xiaoting was halfway through the run, because Liu Jian retreated and left the position of the back waist, and it should have been Zhang Jiaqi who appeared in the back position, but he actually vacated this position.

Pato came to catch the ball was Pato who came back to retreat, Pato accelerated into the penalty area after receiving Xiao Yunfan's pass, and hit his crotch decisively in the face of Mei Fang's outstretched leg, Zeng Cheng was blocked by Mei Fang because of his vision, and when the ball came, he was not in a hurry to save, and the ball quickly passed through Zeng Cheng's armpit and drilled into the goal.

The Longteng team finally seized the opportunity when Guangzhou Evergrande's physical fitness declined and rewrote the score.
