The Dragons had the intention of creating a corner, but unfortunately the first half of the game was over.

The lead in the first half allowed the players on Evergrande's side to enter the half-time break with a happy mood.

In the home team locker room at Tianhe Stadium, most of the players were talking and laughing, some were discussing the game in the first half, some were chatting quietly, and more were changing their jerseys to prepare for the second half of the game.

The players were hilarious, but Evergrande's coaching staff was not so relaxed, and Scolari frowned, seriously discussing the plan for the second half with assistant coach Paulo Tula.

"Judging from the situation in the first half, Zheng Zhi's fitness is problematic. Scolari was very upset, the flu problem has been plaguing the team for a long time, such a crucial game, the team's captain, the spiritual leader on the field, Zheng Zhi, can not stick to the whole game, the impact will be very big," we thought about this before the game, but it seems that the problem is more serious than we thought. ”

"Definitely. The temperature and humidity were very high, and Zheng's physical fitness was declining faster than we thought. "Paul Tula is a coach who is good at using data to deconstruct tactical problems," and his race distance has been declining since the beginning of the season, especially for high-intensity runs and sprints. And I have to remind you that Feng of the central defender is also having a fever, and it is unknown whether he can hold on to the whole game in the second half, so we have to be ready. ”

After carefully flipping through the player list in his hand and confirming it again, Scolari nodded: "It seems that this is the only way." Go as planned. Once Zheng Zhi is physically insufficient, he immediately goes to Huang Bowen, and in the position of central defender, Liu Jian is still the preferred substitute. The last place is processed on a mobile basis. ”

After telling this, Scolari added: "The warm-up of the substitutes in the second half can be arranged early. ”

"Got it. ”

After discussions with the coaching staff, Evergrande's players also finished trimming up in midfield, and Scolari began to do the pre-game mobilization for the second half.

"Everyone. Scolari clapped his hands and told everyone to stop and focus, "Everyone was brilliant in the first half. ”

"Yay!" everyone applauded, led by Paulinho.

Scolari pressed his hands down: "But." The advantage of a ball is not safe, and I have stressed this many times. The opponent Dragon Teng team is also familiar to everyone, and their attack has its own characteristics. ”

"We've never won against them, yes, never. Scolari continues to wake up the fighting spirit of the players, "The situation has to be changed. Today is the best chance to break that embarrassing record. Although we have been plagued by a lot of injuries in recent times and there are countless rumours that have affected our mentality, I am sure you can overcome it because you are the best players in the Super League. ”

"Paulinho. Today is your last game at Evergrande. Scolari decided to provoke Paulinho again, "I know you want to leave with a win, a historic victory. I believe in you, and I think my teammates will believe in you. ”

When the interpreter translated Scolari's words to the players, everyone applauded: "Paulinho, Paulinho!"

After being praised by the manager, Paulinho also stood up, first raised his hand, then waved it down vigorously, and shouted in extremely standard Mandarin: "Do you have confidence!?"

"Yes!" all the Evergrande players shouted with a smile.

The emotions of the players were all mobilized, and Scolari was also affected by everyone: "If you have confidence, then we have to continue to press them in the second half and take at least a two-goal lead. I hope we can get a big win at the end. ”

The whole team on Evergrande's side was in high spirits, and the Longteng team was not depressed because of a goal behind.

As the champion of the Chinese Super League for two consecutive years, the Longteng team has long been accustomed to the temporary backwardness of the situation too many times, and the final result basically ended with the Longteng team winning the game, and the players have long been calm.

This is the so-called champion temperament.

"At the start of the second half, we continued to play 3-5-2." Zhang Sheng was arranging his tactics, "but the focus of the attack was on the two wings, especially behind their two defenders. ”

After confirming the general tactical direction, the next details are supplemented by the assistant coach, and the tactical board, tablet and other tools are rotated, and various tactics in daily training are slipped out to deepen the impression of the players.

After this arrangement, Zhang Sheng also began to cheer up the players: "A ball behind is not the end of the world. In the second half of the first half, they were obviously unable to play, and fitness was their biggest problem. We didn't let up in the second half and tried to drain their energy as much as possible, especially in midfield. Slowing down the pace of their midfield would have reduced their attack, and Paulinho would not have been able to dribble the ball from midfield. ”

The fifteen-minute break at halftime was fleeting, and in anticipation from fans on both sides, players from both teams entered the stadium.

"There were no personnel changes for either team. Lou Yicheng carefully observed the players on both sides, "It seems that Coach Zhang Sheng is confident." ”

"Judging from the situation of the game in the first half, the Longteng team is not without chances, and they only have two fewer shots than Evergrande's side. The two conceded goals are more of a chance factor. Liu Yue said while sorting out the data, "In terms of age structure, the Longteng team also has an advantage. Evergrande raised the tempo so fast in the first half, and in the second half of the second half, how to make personnel adjustments, coach Scolari should think about it. ”

"Ugh. Paulinho's top grab was very fierce, and Tao Wentao was kicked down from behind. Lou Yicheng interrupted Liu Yue's analysis.

"There shouldn't be any problem. Shapron came over and gave a warning, then made way and let the Dragons kick off. His law enforcement standards are still relatively relaxed, unless it is a malicious foul, it is basically a warning. After watching half of the game, Liu Yue also probably knew the characteristics of the referee.

Tao Wentao, who was kicked down by Paulinho, rubbed his calf, and it was not a big problem.

In the second half of the game, the Longteng team wanted to grab the start, but Guangzhou Evergrande and Zhang Sheng wanted to go together, and Paulinho's foul in the front court was destined to be very fierce in the next competition.

"Is it still the rhythm of the first half? Evergrande is still 4-3-3, it seems that Scolari's attitude towards scoring points at home is very resolute. Lou Yicheng was also very surprised, Scolari has always had a serious expression, looks difficult to contact, and often interacts with the media, but the actual situation is that his tactics are relatively conservative, and under his leadership, Evergrande has always been defensive and counterattack-oriented.

Evergrande obviously knows that Tao Wentao's back is the starting point of the Longteng team's current attack, and he takes care of him a lot, Tao Wentao has been violated twice in a row, and he has also tried to reduce the ball at his feet.

This time he handed the ball to Fernando, and they were also apprehensive about the motorcycle on the field, the goal that had been conceded in the first half, Paulinho hurriedly chased back, Lin Feng also moved sideways to help defend, and Li Xuepeng in front was even more like a big enemy.

There were obstructions from all three directions, and Fernando opted to pass the ball back to the Yellow Crane who came to pick it up.

If it was Fernando at the beginning of the season, he would definitely get the ball and start running now, but under the correction of the system task and the special training of the Longteng coaching staff, Fernando slowly learned to trust his teammates.

After handing over the ball, Fernando stepped forward at high speed, his run attracted Lin Feng's attention, Lin Feng, who had already moved sideways, began to follow, Paulinho quickly changed direction and leaned towards Huang He, ready to cut off the passing route between him and Fernando, and Gao Lin was also actively returning to the defense to interfere with Huang He to get the ball.

It can be said that the 4-3-3 formation is naturally characterized by the fact that when the opponent organizes an attack with the ball in hand, many solid triangles can be organized on the field, which makes it difficult for the opponent to penetrate the defense line and pass the ball directly behind him.

In addition to the countermeasures of long passes, the rapid one-kick pass forms a change in rhythm and pulls the stability of the triangle defensive formation to deal with the 4-3-3 triangle pressing defense.

Huang He chose to take a false shot. When the ball was passed, Gao Lin's return defense was already in place, and the former immediately made a feint that I wanted a big foot to drive forward, Gao Lin was obviously shaken, and Huang He's foot on the ball was actually a light smash, after dodging Gao Lin's outstretched leg, Huang He passed the ball to Tao Wentao.

Tao Wentao's next pass was also unexpected by the Evergrande players, he did not look for Fernando who ran to the middle, because the latter was not far from Lin Feng, Tao Wentao chose a bold diagonal pass to the side, he was looking for Huang He in the high-speed frontcourt.

Whether it was Gao Lin, who had just finished his defensive moves, or Paulinho, who had no time to turn around, they didn't have time to stop Huang He, and the Longteng team played a beautiful midfield two-on-two cooperation.

"This fits beautifully. Lou Yicheng was also amazed, "Huang He's speed is very fast, and Paulinho on Evergrande's side is chasing back, but he can't catch up." Oh! Li Xuepeng was eaten raw, my God, Huang He wants to kill through the left side of Evergrande alone. Alas, it's a foul, and the referee is going to pull out the cards. ”

Li Xuepeng obviously didn't expect that Huang He's speed would be so fast, and the dribbling skills under his feet would be so good, after all, as a substitute for Xiang Tiange, the latter's age, appearance and other conditions are famous, which makes Huang He seem obscure, who calls Huang He's "maturity" comparable to Uncle Jin of the United States.

It is a terrible thing for the fullbacks to be passed, especially the 4-3-3 formation with a small number of people in the backfield, Li Xuepeng made a mistake, and the central defender Feng Xiaoting had to come over to take the blame, facing the fast Huang He, the former could only choose to foul.

Sha Pulong blew the foul on the opponent very strictly, and directly showed Feng Xiaoting a yellow card, and gave the Longteng team a free kick in the frontcourt.

"Lu Zhihui is coming up again, Evergrande should be careful here. Liu Yue also teased.

Lu Zhihui did not disappoint Liu Yue, he really grabbed the free kick point this time, if it wasn't for Zengcheng's quick reaction, Lu Zhihui's header would have really broken the goal.

"Zengcheng is very dissatisfied. Lou Yicheng said with a smile, "It's all been treated as a key person, but it's still missed." ”

"The person in charge of marking Lu Zhihui is former Longteng player Du Zhenyu, who is a very good central defender in marking defense, but in front of the big brother who brought him out single-handedly, he is still a little immature. ”

"So to speak. Ginger is still old and spicy. Lou Yicheng concluded.

In the next corner, Lu Zhihui was almost held by Du Zhenyu, and in the end, the pass of the Longteng team did not find Lu Zhihui, but found Chavez, whose header was slightly off the post.

"The Longteng team formed a siege at the beginning of the second half, and Evergrande's one-goal lead was not safe, and the game was getting more and more exciting. ”

I already attached great importance to Tao Wentao, but I didn't expect that it was Tao Wentao who sent the key pass this time, and Evergrande had to pay more attention to this defender.

At this time, the problem of weak defense on the 4-3-3 side is more serious, after all, you have strengthened the defense in the middle, the midfield trio will not be too stretchy in the middle, and the defense on the side is mostly undertaken by the winger and a fullback, Gao Lin and Li Xuepeng against Huang He, Fernando and Nie Jiang, who keeps retreating, The three-man offensive combination is completely only parryed, and there is no power to fight back.

The Longteng team strengthened the attack on the right side, so that Evergrande's side was competitive, and Zheng Zhi, who performed very well in the first half, wanted to take advantage of his physical fitness in the second half to contribute to the team again.

Zengcheng drove the ball out with a big foot, ready to find Gaolat, the close-fitting Shen Jun jumped first and pushed the ball out of the sideline, Gaolat quickly sent out a hand to throw the ball to Zheng Zhi, hoping to play a fast attack.

Qi Ming, who was deliberately transferred to the left side by Zhang Sheng, played a role at this time, after Zheng Zhi got the ball, there was no chance to play the ball at all, and those who were oppressed by Qi Ming could only pass back.

Evergrande's offensive was contained.

In the subsequent game, such a situation happened continuously, the right side of the Longteng team kept impacting Evergrande's defense, but Evergrande's own right side could not attack, Lin Feng wanted to take over Zheng Zhi's organizational work, his mid-distance passing ability was not enough, and after handing it over to Paulinho, the latter was very embarrassed to take the ball, and he couldn't form a fast attack at all.

Another limitation of the 4-3-3 comes at this point, that is, the midfield must have one or more players who are skilled and able to control the ball in order to play to the advantages of the attack, which is why the European giants like to use this formation, because of the strong attacking power and the ability to play the technical ability of their frontcourt players.

After focusing on attacking Evergrande's wingers, the loopholes directly exposed by the fullbacks and using pressing to restrain Evergrande's weakness of not having strong ability to control the ball, whether it is Paulinho or Zheng Zhi, has become the core idea of the Longteng team in the second half.
