122. Fight back
When the referee Kim Jong-hyuk came over, He Lijun rushed up as soon as possible, pointed at the other party with his finger, and stimulated the other party with words such as "blind" and "black whistle", and the other members of the coaching staff also completely separated Zhang Sheng from behind, so that Zhang Sheng did not have the opportunity to argue with the referee.
Kim Jong-hyuk was really angered by He Lijun's words, and he and He Lijun kept arguing, until finally he pointed to the stands with his finger and motioned for the other party to leave the playing field.
After entangling with He Lijun for a minute or two, Kim Jong-hyuk completely forgot about what Zhang Sheng had just argued with the fourth official and returned to the court.
At this time, Lin Feng was comforting Tao Wentao, and at the same time explained to his teammates: "It seems that our pre-game worries are right, the referee will definitely favor the home team, we try to argue with him as little as possible, and the action is clean, and we don't give him a chance to play cards." ”
He Wei and Xu Yang, who were in charge of the commentary, were also very annoyed by this scene on the field.
As a commentator of CCTV, He Wei can't speak too out of line, but he still raised his own questions: "It's hard to convince the public with these two consecutive punishments." It's normal for home players to have an advantage, but it's a bit out of balance. ”
"The Chinese Super League team will get stronger and stronger in the future, and there will be more and more opportunities to play in the AFC Champions League. Xu Yang almost said that he would let the Football Association negotiate with the AFC.
"Let's see how the next game goes. He Wei also terminated the topic.
Tao Wentao's foul was still necessary, at least a potentially dangerous attack from Al Ahly was put to an end, and they only won a free-kick at the back.
In the next game, the players of the Longteng team were also a lot more cautious, and everyone began to use their own passing and receiving to deal with the attack, and the players of Dubai Al Ahli were very smart, and they also knew that the foul like Sancur was too obvious, and the referee could not help himself many times in a game, and if there was an accident, it would not be a sentence or two to solve the problem.
But the big moves were gone, and the small movements of Al Ahly's players became more frequent, especially against Pato and Ben Arfa, who didn't stop moving their hands and didn't give them speed.
Now the situation on the field has become that the Longteng team has the ball, but it is difficult to break through the opponent's defense, and can only keep passing down in the midfield to find opportunities.
In the 21st minute of the first half, the Dragons finally found a good opportunity with their frequent passing pulls.
This time it was Lin Feng in the middle of the Longteng team, Ben Alpha on the left, and Tao Wentao who came back from the forward position to receive the ball to form an impact on the right side of Dubai Al Ahli, and many players of Al Ahly were attracted to this side.
As a result, Ben Arfa, who was caught between two defenders on the sideline, handed the ball to Lin Feng with a beautiful instep side knock, and Lin Feng transferred the ball to the feet of another defender, Roke Gill.
Because Al Ahly's players are more concentrated on the left, the middle is now very empty, Roque Gil was not around when he got the ball, he rushed up from the middle with the ball directly, and after seeing the last defender of the opponent's Majid Hassan also coming, he sent the ball to the feet of Pato on the right.
This time Sancur was unlucky, he didn't dare to use fouls to infringe on Pato like last time, he could only run with Pato, Pato suddenly stopped in the high-speed run, Sancur was a little overdone because of inertia, when Sancur wanted to pull his body back and then defend Pato, Pato suddenly accelerated, at this time Sancur, who had already leaned back on his center of gravity, even lost the opportunity to pull Pato.
Pato took the ball and rushed straight into the penalty area, facing the defending left central defender Hamis, Pato turned the ball back.
Because Pato was always guarding against the goal, Khamis was closer to the goal, another central defender, Kwon Kyung-won, was deeper to prevent Pato from passing the ball to the back post, and Majid Hassan, the midfielder who returned to the penalty area, was behind Zou Weijia and did not give him a chance to turn and shoot.
So when Pato's ball came back, Zou Weijia had no chance to shoot, but not being able to shoot didn't mean that there was no threat, Zou Weijia, who received Pato's pass, directly knocked the ball back diagonally, and the right wingback Xiao Yunfan who rushed over at this time was completely unguarded.
In the face of Zou Weijia's just right return, Xiao Yunfan shot directly with his feet, because no one recognized interference, Xiao Yunfan also aimed at the angle when he shot, and the ball flew straight to the far post of the goal.
Al Ahly's goalkeeper Mahmoud was standing on the right side of the goal, unable to do anything about the ball that flew towards the left post.
Mahmoud had already given up the save, but the ball hit the left post and bounced back into the penalty area, Kwon Kyung-won hurriedly kicked the ball out of the bottom line, and Dubai Al Ahli escaped it.
When Pato began to dribble the ball, He Wei also felt that the opportunity of the Longteng team came: "Pato is speeding up with the ball, Al Ahly's left side is very empty, what should Sancur do this time? Beautiful, Pato accelerated again after the emergency stop, and was about to enter the penalty area, inverted triangle pass, Zou Weijia's push, Xiao Yunfan, shot! Oops, the goalpost, the opponent's central defender cleared." The Dragons' offensive organization this time is very beautiful!"
"Yes. Xu Yang also said with a little regret, "The Longteng team made full use of the width of the field from the left to the middle and then to the right, and Pato's threat was still too great, so that the Longteng team was lucky not to lose the ball by shooting unguarded on the penalty line." Let's take a look at the next corner kick of the Dragons. ”
It was Ben Alpha who was in charge of the penalty, but something that bothered him so much was that the Al Ahly team put the billboard in front of his goal so high that Ben Alpha ran to the corner kick less than two meters, which meant that Ben Alpha could only kick off the ball on the spot almost entirely by the explosiveness of his calves.
Ben Alfa also communicated with the linesman and the staff of the players on the sidelines, hoping to make the space bigger, but the other side had an expression that I couldn't do anything and I was impatient with you talking.
He Wei also said helplessly: "Such difficult conditions for away games are something that our players must overcome, and I hope their mentality will not be affected." ”
Ben Alpha has seen the world after all, he quickly adjusted his emotions, relied on the assist distance of less than two meters, passed the ball to the penalty area, and also accurately found the tallest teammate Zou Weijia.
Al Ahly's defensive players are also very smart, Zou Weijia's height shows that he will be the absolute high point of the Longteng team in the set-piece, the players of the Longteng team will look for him eight times out of ten, they also focus on Zou Weijia to take care of, when Zou Weijia was ready to jump, the other party first pulled Zou Weijia's clothes, and then let go, Zou Weijia did not reach the ball because of the interference of this small action, and the corner kick of the Longteng team flew directly out of the sideline on the other side.
This wave of attack of the Longteng team is still very threatening, and Al Ahli can be regarded as understanding the power of the Longteng team's positional attack.
Al Ahly also made changes when the attack could not open up, Ribeiro switched from the left to the right, and right winger Hamadi moved to the left.
Ribeiro took advantage of the time period that the Dragons had not yet adapted to after the change of position and got a chance.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Ribeiro got the ball up front, he turned his head to look at Lima's position before receiving the ball, as if he wanted to pass the ball, but after he did get the ball, he got rid of Ben Arfa's defense with a fake dunk, and then cut inside and rushed to the top of the arc in front of the box.
When he saw Roque Gill coming to defend, Ribeiro really passed, because of the departure of the defender Roque Gill, there was an unguarded area in front of the Longteng team's penalty area, and Lima ran over alertly, and then he observed Zhou Wei's position, and then shot directly in the face of Ma Yongli's upper grab.
As a former Portuguese Super League bronze boot, his long-range shot is extremely threatening, the ball crossed a clear arc, straight to the left side of the goal, Zhou Wei's attention this time is very concentrated, when Lima shot, he moved to the right, when the ball flew over, his palm touched the ball, hitting the ball to the left.
Ribeiro began to run to the penalty area after passing the ball to grab the second point, when Zhou Wei saved the ball, he also rushed over, fortunately, Lu Zhihui's awareness of filling in the penalty area is still good, he grabbed the ball before Ribeiro, Ribeiro wanted to hit Lu Zhihui with his body, but it was like a wave hitting a rock, and he was almost bounced away, after all, the weight difference between the two is too far.
Lu Zhihui, who was firmly guarding the ball, easily knocked the ball horizontally to the left wingback Zhou Zhou.
Al Ahly used the individual abilities of Ribeiro and Lima to play a beautiful attack.
But then the Dragons' counterattack began.
Because this time Al Ahly invested a large number of players to participate in the attack, at this time their formation was very high, the back line was extremely empty, Zhou Zhou looked up when he got the ball and saw that there was a huge space behind the opponent's back line, and he passed the ball directly with a big foot.
Zhou Zhou's pass found the right centre-forward Zou Weijia, who grabbed the landing spot under the close mark of the opposing centre-back Khamis, and he crossed the ball with a beautiful header in the air to Ben Arfa on the left.
In fact, when Zhou Zhou was passing, Ben Alpha and the opponent's back Majid Hassan were almost on the same parallel line, but when Zhou Zhou's ball was passed, Ben Alpha accelerated and threw away the opponent, and it was farther and farther, which was the advantage of speed.
By the time Zou Weijia's header crossed the ball, Ben Arfa had already formed a one-on-one momentum down the open right flank of Al Ahly.
Seeing Ben Alpha running with the ball like a lightning speed, Khamis immediately gave up his defense against Zou Weijia and let Quan Jingyuan fill his position from the left, after all, he is the closest player to Ben Alpha.
It should be said that Hamis's choice is right, Zou Weijia is a high school striker, speed is a weakness, he ran to defend Ben Alpha, Quan Jingyuan is still fully sure that he can catch up with Zou Weijia, and Quan Jingyuan did not disappoint Hamis, the former quickly chased back to catch up with Zou Weijia.
Unfortunately, the last thing Khamis wanted to see happened next, Ben Alfa saw Khamis rushing over and decisively sent the ball out, and Khamis's desperate run over turned into a futile effort, and he could only watch the football fly around him and behind him.
Ben Alpha's pass did not go to Zou Weijia, but directly and accurately found Tao Wentao farther away, and Tao Wentao had already formed a single knife at this time.
Then it was Tao Wentao's moment of revenge, he took the ball all the way into the penalty area, facing the Al Ahli goalkeeper Mahmud, Tao Wentao accelerated again to the right laterally, passed the opponent, and faced a huge empty goal, he easily pushed the ball, and the ball rolled into the net.
The counterattack of the Longteng team started from Zhou Zhou's long pass, started to advance quickly from the left side, and finally Tao Wentao's shot, which was less than half a minute, but it was extremely sharp, and the score became 1:0.
Referee Kim Jong-hyuk has no way to do anything about such a goal, he can't blow a goal without any problems.
He Wei was also so happy that he almost jumped up: "The counterattack of the Longteng team, Al Ahli's right side is empty, Ben Alpha got Zou Weijia's header and ferried, passed, Tao Wentao's single knife, beautiful, passed the goalkeeper, and the ball went in! ”
"That's the way it is. Xu Yang also said excitedly, "On the football field, if you want to counterattack the opponent, you rely on scoring goals." We're going to use the goal to show the other side that you don't even have a chance to foul!"
At this time, Tao Wentao, who was angry at the diagonal flagpole, also turned his head and ran to the coach's seat of the Longteng team, and saw Zhang Sheng who welcomed him with open arms, Tao Wentao jumped on Zhang Sheng's body and said happily: "Coach, I scored a goal!"
Zhang Sheng was also pleased to pat Tao Wentao's back and said, "I knew there would be such a day, you are the best." ”
Seeing the master and apprentice embracing each other on the field, He Wei said emotionally: "Tao Wentao should thank Zhang Sheng for his guidance. At the beginning, he had a rare disease in his body, but Zhang Sheng guided countless people, spent a lot of money to send him to the United States for treatment, gave him enough time to recover, and took out a lot of games to let him return to the field to adapt, which led to today's goal worth a thousand gold. ”
"It's a football story. Xu Yang also sighed, "Coach Zhang Sheng really spares no effort in the cultivation of young players. In this year's Chinese Super League, Tao Wentao has always been the first choice of the Longteng team, you must know that he is only 19 years old this year. The 19-year-old's crucial goal in the AFC Champions League final is truly limitless. ”
Tao Wentao celebrated for a while surrounded by Zhang Sheng and his teammates before returning to the field, and the serious face that had been holding back his strength after receiving the yellow card also turned into a smiling face, He Wei was not wrong, scoring goals on the football field is the best counterattack to injustice.
