Originally, according to Zhang Sheng's idea, after Kante's position was slightly retreated, Gao Jun should be responsible for the tandem midfield in the real midfield position, while Ivo was more inclined to intercept in the midfield. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's a pity that Gao Jun's lack of physical fitness broke Zhang Sheng's plan. Zhang Sheng had to start the second plan, that is, let Lin Feng take the place of Gao Jun to be responsible for the tandem of the midfield. In terms of personal ability alone, Lin Feng is stronger than Gao Jun. Because not only physically, but also in terms of forward ability, Lin Feng is still very good as an offensive full-back. But when it comes to defensive ability, he is not as good as Gao Jun. Zhang Shengzhi chose to let Lin Feng be responsible for the tandem of the midfield, mainly because of his outstanding passing and receiving, running and coordination ability in the team.

As for Zhou Zhou's problem, it is a trivial matter, after all, Xiao Yunfan is fully capable of replacing him, and like Zhou Zhou, Xiao Yunfan and Yu Bo are also players who grew up together, and they are also very skilled in cooperating with each other.

At this pre-match press conference, Zhang Sheng and Lippi both answered very cautiously, and in the face of many provocations by reporters, both of them seemed very low-key. And this also seems to be aware of the basic style of this game.

In the locker room before the start of the game, Zhang Sheng emphasized stability countless times: "In this game, we focus on stability. for we keep it. ”

Zhang Sheng's words, everyone agrees very much, because when Zhang Sheng was worried that his main striker and main central defender could not play, Guangzhou Evergrande was even more desolate.

Because of the excessively intense last game and the referee's lack of responsibility, Guangzhou Evergrande's losses are not unmistakable.

On the front line, Lippi's two most relied on strikers Elkeson and Muric could not play, and the inability of the two of them to play set the tone for Guangzhou Evergrande's forward line in this game - weak attack.

In the absence of midfielder Zheng Zhi - Lippi had already informed the media that Zheng Zhi would be out of action for a month due to injury - so that Evergrande in the midfield, whether it is defensive strength, offensive strength or even midfield control, has greatly decreased, and can only rely on Conca's one-man play.

This game was still broadcast by CCTV Channel 5, and the commentary was still the commentator Shen Fangjian in the previous round.

After the game started, when Shen Fangjian began to introduce the lineups of the two sides, he sighed: "There is a lot less starlight in this game." There are a few core players on both sides who are unable to play, but overall the situation is still relatively favorable for the Longteng team, after all, several of their foreign players are there. ”

The situation on the field is indeed as Shen Fangjian said, and the Longteng team has a slight advantage.

As soon as the game began, Lippi spotted one of the biggest changes for the Dragons, and that was the position of their striker Wenkai. In the last round of the game, Deng Chaoqun's position on the field was more between the central defender and the full-back, and his purpose was also very clear, that is, to use the gap between the central defender and the full-back to counter offside or grab the second point by running, because this combination has always been the weakness of each team.

And Wen Kai's position is very tough, that is, standing in the middle of the two central defenders. This position is very arrogant, this is the kind of super center position. Standing in this position is a clear indication that I can suppress the opposition's centre-backs and make the opposition's back-line unable to stand up.

Seeing this position, Lippi frowned, because Zhang Sheng hit Lippi's tactical weakness.

Due to the lack of Elkeson, Muric and Zheng Zhi in this game, it is difficult for Guangzhou Evergrande to organize an attack from the midfield, or create opportunities directly from the front. Therefore, Lippi clearly instructed Feng Xiaoting and Jin Yingquan before the game, asking them to play more balls to the midfielder or directly play long passes to counterattack.

And Zhang Sheng's practice of letting Wen Kai directly press Evergrande's double guard makes Lippi's approach a bit dangerous, which depends on whether Feng Xiaoting and Jin Yingquan can withstand Wen Kai's pressure.

It should be said that Wen Kai still put a lot of pressure on Evergrande's double central defenders. The first point is that Wen Kai can hold the ball. This is also a common trait of the players of the Dragons. As long as all the players of the Longteng team can enter the first team, the ability to hold the ball at their feet is the most basic requirement, especially the ability to hold the ball in the confrontation. And Wen Kai, who is used as a center forward, has even stricter requirements, which is why Wen Kai has killed all sides in the Chinese League, because his impact is still very impressive.

After Wen Kai put pressure on Evergrande's back line, Evergrande's support for the front court became less when he played the ball in the backfield. They can only rely on the layers of advance from the back to attack. But because the midfield lacks Zheng Zhi's ball control and transfer, the Evergrande team can't hold the ball in the midfield at all, and as a last resort, Conca, as a forward midfielder, can't help but return to the second half of the midfield many times to get the ball.

But for Conca's marking, the Dragons were very successful. In the first leg of the game, Ivo's defensive state as a defensive forward made Guangzhou Evergrande unexpected, coupled with Kante's strong defensive ability, Conca's play was basically useless.

The same is true of this game, Ivo is still constantly intercepting in the forward position, and Kante is even more so in the back position, plus Lin Feng sent by Zhang Sheng will also take care of Conca a little when he keeps running in tandem in the midfield, and Conca also seems very uncomfortable.

And the Dragons' own offense is also a little unfluent. This is also because of Evergrande's tactics. In this game, Lippi still put on a 4-2-3-1 formation, and Zhao Xuyang and Huang Bowen were in the position of the back midfield, Lippi's meaning was very clear, let Huang Bowen be responsible for Zheng Zhi's previous offensive scheduling, and Zhao Xuri was responsible for the sweep of the midfield. At the same time, Evergrande also put Rong Hao and Gao Lin in the midfield, allowing the two of them to play on the wing. Lippi's instructions were clear, except for Conca, who didn't have to defend too much, and all the players had to press and defend tightly.

Therefore, although the Longteng team has many opportunities to get the ball in the midfield, there are no good offensive opportunities for the players who are surrounded by Evergrande's midfield, and more often rely on the breakthrough of Ivo and Mahrez's personal ability. It should be said that Gao Jun's absence still has a very big impact on the team, Lin Feng may be able to play relatively handy with the cooperation on the right side, but once he reaches the middle or the left side, he is not skilled in the cooperation with several other players, so there are often situations where the pass is not in place or the running position is not timely.

On the left side, although Yu Bo did not fall behind in the face of Gao Lin, he did not have any advantage, after all, Gao Lin's game experience was far stronger than Yu Bo.

Mahrez on the right side because of the wonderful performance in the last game, Evergrande attaches great importance to his breakthrough, Rong Hao also put away the idea of attacking and attacking each other, and defended wholeheartedly, and at the same time, Zhao Xuyang, as one of the backs, also came over many times to help Rong Hao assist in defense. Mahrez didn't have too many chances to break through from the start, and even if Lin Feng came to help, it didn't play a big role, because as soon as Lin Feng arrived on the right side, Conca also came over to help defend.

At the same time, because of Conca's presence, Kante did not dare to press too much, after all, once Conca was given a chance, his pass or shot was likely to pose a huge threat.

Seeing the situation on the field, Zhang Sheng has been turning his brain to find a way to break this deadlock, because as an away Longteng team, the physical situation is definitely not as good as that of a team with rich multi-front operations like Guangzhou Evergrande, not to mention that the physical consumption of away games itself is more than usual.

When Zhang Sheng is thinking of a way, the players on the field are also thinking of a way, such as Wen Kai who is now on the front line.

He remembered Zhang Sheng's advice to himself before the game: "Wen Kai." Do you know why I want Deng Chaoqun to be the main striker?"

At that time, Wen Kai also shook his head, in fact, in Wen Kai's own heart, he felt that he was more suitable to be a striker of the Longteng team than Deng Chaoqun, because compared to Deng Chaoqun, he could hold the ball in the front court, could withstand the physical confrontation, and his shooting level was not worse than Deng Chaoqun.

But Zhang Sheng's words gave Wen Kai a great inspiration: "That's because Deng Chaoqun is more aggressive than you when he plays football! Although he is often in an offside position, and he is often squeezed down by the opponent after getting the ball, his eyes are always on the opponent's penalty area and goal at all times. And you, you have the body, you have the skill of your feet, but you like to make the ball to your teammates more than you have the momentum to score a goal. If you are facing a weak opponent, you can still rely on your own strength to score goals, and once the opponent is stronger than you, you will habitually retreat. If you don't change this style of play for a day, you can only abuse vegetables for a day, instead of becoming a hammer in the front court. ”

'In this game, I will put you between the two centre-backs of the opposing team. Your role is to suppress their reliance with all your might, if you can withstand Evergrande's central defenders, it will prove that you are an excellent striker in China, otherwise you can only be used as a substitute. This is Zhang Sheng's explanation when Wenkai played.

And Wen Kai is doing the same now.

After more than 30 minutes of competition in the first half, Wen Kai, who had been fighting against Evergrande's two central defenders in turn, gradually built up confidence, because Zhang Sheng gave him a thumbs up on the sidelines several times, indicating that he was under strong enough pressure on Evergrande's back line today.

At this time, Wen Kai began to turn his brain, thinking about how to make a fuss on the two central defenders of the Evergrande team to find opportunities to score. And that opportunity came near the end of the first half. (To be continued.) )
