54. Encounter a strong enemy again
Sometimes, you have to admit that Chinese football does have "Chinese characteristics".
Some of the things that are done in hiding in European football have become golden rules in Chinese football.
Since Boss Zhu, Liaoning Hongyun is Yu Hanchao, Li Xuepeng, Guizhou Renhe is Yu Hai, Guangzhou Evergrande is Elkeson, Li Shuai, and Shandong Luneng has formulated such avoidance clauses in the contract, and the clubs that bought these people have actually implemented them, anyway, there will always be a day when they will get it back.
Of course, there are also non-recusal clauses.
Shanghai Shenhua transferred Li Weifeng to Wuhan Optics Valley, and later Wuhan boycotted Optics Valley, Li Weifeng went to South Korea, and as a result, Li Weifeng's South Korean team Suwon Samsung happened to play against Shanghai Shenhua in the AFC Champions League. At the same time, Suwon Samsung also said that it never thought of not letting Li Weifeng play, and the final result was that Li Weifeng played and scored a goal in Hongkou, the home of Shanghai Shenhua.
It can only be said that these innovations are just playing in China, and when it comes to international football, others will let you fart, and if you stink, you may be beaten.
There is a reason why the Longteng team did not add an avoidance clause, because Zhang Sheng believes that under normal circumstances, even if the opponent has a former Longteng player on the field, he will not lose.
Yu Bo, who did not have an avoidance clause, played in this game, and the effect was very average. In the first half, the Longteng team relied on the goals of De Paul and Tao Wentao to lead 2:0, and in the second half, the Longteng team still occupied the advantage on the field even if it replaced three substitutes in a row, and after Yan Xiaoyu also scored his first goal in the league, North Jingguoan raised his hand and surrendered.
In the end, the Longteng team won 3:0 against Bei Jing Guoan and stabilized the top position in the league.
After this round of the league, the Longteng team did not make any stop in Jiangcheng and went directly to challenge Jiangsu Suning away, which was also the second leg of the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Judging from the form of the players, most of them are very good. Although the players and coaching staff only had a short three days in Jiangcheng, everyone seemed to be filled with oil, and they all seemed to be full of energy, and even Zhang Sheng felt that the fatigue of some time ago had been swept away.
After just staying with his wife and children for a day, Zhang Sheng felt that he had infinite strength to live, and at this time Zhang Sheng finally understood the mentality of homesickness.
The good form made the Longteng team play very well in this important game against Jiangsu Suning.
In the summer window, Jiangsu Suning not only brought in Roger Martinez to replace center Ruo, but Choi Yong-so's henchman Hong happened to be the former captain Zhou Zhou, who bought from the Longteng team, so that everyone had high hopes for them.
The signings did not disappoint Choi Yong-so either, and he was rewarded with a 4-0 win in the league, which was achieved in the absence of Ramirez with an injury.
Martinez, who has just joined the player, dwarfs Ruo, who has been playing in Jiangsu Suning for half a year, in the game against a team like Henan Jianye that focuses on defense, Martinez messed up the opponent's defense.
Suning's first goal came from Martinez's follow-up shot, the third was scored by Martinez's own penalty, and the fourth was Martinez's teammate assisted.
In addition to these, Martinez alone pressed back the entire defense line of Henan Jianye, and Jianye's counterattack could not be fought at all.
The second goal was scored by Choi Yong-so's introduction of Hong Jeong-jo, whose header proved that he can not only be a sea god needle in the backline, but also destroy the city in front.
As for the new domestic aid Zhou Zhou, he and his former Longteng teammate Xiao Yunfan completely activated the foreign aid Teixeira, and in Ramirez's absence, they steadily sent the ball to Teixeira's feet.
With the momentum of a big victory, Cui Yongzhu is also full of confidence, when he first coached Suning, Cui Yongzhu said more than once in an interview with reporters that he wanted to put the league first, but this time he changed his words: "I said before that the league is the first, but don't get me wrong, the FA Cup will never give up, because the FA Cup is closely related to the AFC Champions League quota." ”
In the match that will decide the semi-finals of the FA Cup, Choi Yong-so expressed his ambition to be in the league and cup.
Suning, who thought that the Longteng team would be exhausted from continuous battles, began to press from the beginning, and Choi Yongsu has been using it in the K League, but the few frontcourt pressing tactics used after coming to the Chinese Super League have been rarely sacrificed.
The reason why the tactic of front-court pressing is used more in the European League, and less in the Chinese Super League before, even if it is used, the effect is not too obvious, mainly because this tactic is too complicated.
In this tactic, it will involve the frontcourt of the man marking, the player's card position passing line, the overall forward communication - including verbal communication and non-verbal communication (body movements and cues, this requires the players on the field to have a great degree of tacit understanding), and when it comes to specific pressing tactics and follow the pressure and high pressing, which requires the team's formation to maintain balance at all times, but also to follow the real-time situation on the field, the first time to react to set defensive traps, of course, the most important thing is that the players need to have strong physical support.
There are many reasons why the teams in the Chinese Super League used less or did not use them well.
One is that the tactics are too complex for the previous coaches, who either don't realize the benefits of the tactic, or simply can't design such a tactic.
The second reason is the players. The characteristics of the frontcourt pressing tactics require the players to have a good sense of position, otherwise the chaotic pressing will only consume physical energy needlessly, and may even make the opponent counterattack because of the destruction of the balance of the team's formation, and then the excessive gap between foreign players and local players and the mistakes in communication will also make the tactics fail, think about the consequences of a Ferrari engine running wildly with the body of a tractor? Either the gearbox is wasted, or the tires are burned.
The most typical example in the Chinese Super League is Guangzhou R&F. R&F coach Stojkovic is forced to copy this tactic to his own team, and the result is that when he succeeds, he can beat the opponent, and most of the time the result is that the players are not skilled enough - more mistakes - excessive physical exertion - collapse after 75 minutes, and the previous advantage is lost.
Choi Yong-so as the history of many authoritative institutions have been listed as the world's first head coach ranking in Asia (because of the appearance of Zhang Sheng, his position is naturally occupied by Zhang Sheng), is still very expected, after coaching Suning for a few rounds, he is also very familiar with Suning's players, and figured out the team's system, the team can now be said to be gradually improving.
In the early stages of the game, the energetic Suning players put a lot of pressure on the midfield and backfield of the Longteng team.
Seeing his team playing so mightily, in the nearly 40-degree weather in Nanjing, the Suning fans in the stands thought that the high temperature was creating an atmosphere, and everyone sang and danced excitedly, without stopping for a moment.
Choi Yong-so stood on the sidelines and kept waving his hands, directing the team to press in the front court without stopping.
It should be said that Choi Yong-so has insisted on using the tactical details for many years in the K League, and the tactical details are quite good, their pressing is moderate, and Martinez, as a new foreign aid, does not show much jerky in cooperation, which not only reflects the player's good ball quotient, but also shows Choi Yong-so's ability to coach.
At this time, the good foot skills of the Longteng team came into play, and the players did not panic under such an efficient pressing of the opponent, although the team did not get many threatening forward opportunities, but the free man Ma Yongli in the backfield and the back Roque Gill as two fulcrums used frequent runs and tandems to make the Longteng team's defense as solid as a rock.
Li Xin, who was in charge of the commentary, was very satisfied with the intensity and rhythm of the game: "This level of confrontation is very rare. Coach Choi Yong-so has been holding back his energy to get a win after scoring points at the home of the Longteng team in the last game. ”
"Coach Jang Seung and Coach Choi Yong-so have played each other four times before and after, and Choi Yong-so's side has one draw and three losses. With Coach Cui's character, if he doesn't get this field back, it will be difficult to sleep. Dong Lu is also convincing, with an expression that understands Cui Yongzhu very well.
After the opening trial, the Longteng team gradually adapted to Suning's pressing and began to counterattack.
In the twenty-third minute of the first half, Qi Ming received the ball from Roque Gill in the midfield, and this time he no longer chose to pass horizontally or back, because he sensitively felt that the intensity of Suning's side was decreasing, and sure enough, after carrying Zhang Xiaobin, who came over to grab, he found that the other party was no longer as tough as before.
Qi Ming decisively stepped up his efforts again, this time he squeezed away the opponent, and then Qi Ming passed, which was a very beautiful big foot transfer, and the target of the pass was the winger Xiang Tiange who was inserted at high speed on the right side.
The last time he was broken through by the junior brother in the league game, Xiao Yunfan, who didn't want it, could only choose to pull Xiang Tiange down from behind, such a foul was considered merciful to the referee, considering that it was Suning's home field, only a yellow card was shown.
A quick counterattack turned into a set-piece in the front position, and the Suning team earned it, after all, Suning was a double-Asian center-back on this game, and the defensive ability of the set-piece was still very good.
These two central defenders, South Korea's foreign aid Hong Zheng has a good sense of position in the penalty area, strong header ability, Australia's foreign aid Sainsbury, has a wide vision, strong ball ability, and the card position is first-class, as the MVP of the Australian Asian Cup final, the strength is undoubted.
In fact, this is also the difficulty that the Longteng team insists on not using Yawai, which increases the difficulty for themselves.
In terms of the ability value of the players, the Asian foreign countries of the Chinese Super League are generally above 90 in ability, and they are almost close to this value, as for the top Asian foreign players like Sainsbury, Kim Yingquan, Antar before, and Akhmedov in the back, the ability value is more than 100, and the five major European league level players are proper.
This time the free kick of the Longteng team, although Liming had a very strong header ability in the penalty area, he was finally interfered with by Hong and did not reach the ball, and it was Sainsbury who drove the ball out with a big foot in the penalty area.
Although the goal of the Longteng team did not score, it sounded the alarm for Suning's side, that is, the midfield, Suning was a little unbearable, and Ramirez's absence had too much impact.
Cui Yongzhu insisted on pressing in the front court in this game, and a big reason was also to contain the attack of the Longteng team at the initiation end of the attack, and he knew that once the Longteng team controlled the ball in the midfield, Suning's midfield was likely to be penetrated.
The attack that Qi Ming organized just now was launched in the midfield confrontation, and Choi Yongsu also realized this, and he asked the interpreter to greet several midfielders loudly, telling them not to relax and carry out the pressing to the end.
Under the urging of Cui Yongsu, Suning, whose pressing intensity has decreased, seems to have eaten sildenafil, and has become tough again.
Zhang Sheng is relatively calm on the sidelines, winning the midfield to win the game, although this sentence is not 100% correct in football games, most of the time it is still true.
The Longteng team, which had an advantage in the midfield, began to use non-stop scheduling to pull Suning's defensive line, which not only made Suning's defensive pressure greater, but also had the effect of basically cutting off the connection between Suning's backfield and the front court.
The midfield is controlled by the opponent, and if you want to play an orderly attack, other means are very limited, nothing more than relying on the breakthrough on the side, or simply looking for the center forward in front of the backfield.
In order to open up the offensive corridor on the side, Xiao Yunfan began to constantly switch positions on the two wings, and Teixeira also responded to Xiao Yunfan's assist, and began to roam around a wide range in the front court, looking for offensive opportunities.
For Cui Longzhu's hand, Zhang Sheng was already prepared, Qi Ming and Tao Wentao expanded their defensive range, and joined forces with wingers and two fullbacks on both sides to firmly block Suning's attack on the side.
His change of tricks was blocked again, and Cui Yongsu was extremely angry in his heart.
In the past, when I was in the K League, I had good Korean players, but the foreign aid grade was not enough, and the Longteng team often used strong foreign aid capabilities to do involvement, providing offensive space for Chinese domestic players, and now I have come to China, and the foreign aid ability is satisfied, and the ability of Chinese domestic players is not enough, so I can only watch the strong foreign aid run helplessly in the front court but can't get the ball.
When the game reached more than 30 minutes in the first half, Cui Yongzhu simply didn't want anything else, and directly asked Sainsbury to find Martinez in the front court from the back, and use Martinez's impact to impact the Longteng team's backline, after all, this is also the routine operation of many Chinese Super League teams. 8)
