While the two commentators were talking, the Longteng team's frontcourt pressing had an effect, this time it was Nie Jiang and Qi Ming who pressed Endo on the left side, and the former captain of the Japanese Olympic team passed the ball back to goalkeeper Nishikawa Shusaku, who just handed the ball to Mauricio, who was surrounded by Chavez and Nie Jiang.

If it was when Ryota Mori was still there in the past, these three central defenders would definitely be able to use the experience of long-term cooperation to ensure that the ball is not lost through reasonable running, but this time, Mauricio and the left central defender Tomoaki Makino did not want to go together, Tomoaki Makino wanted to step forward to receive the ball and press the formation out, while Mauricio wanted to pass a safe world and stabilize the defense.

The ball, which was too weak, passed directly behind Tomoaki Makino, and when he wanted to turn around and get the ball, Fernando had already used his speed to poke the ball away in front of him.

Seeing that because of his conceded goal, the team was about to be counterattacked by the opponent, and Tomoaki Makino could only hand over his body and hook Fernando with his legs.

"This foul. The referee is definitely going to take out the cards, and the Dragons have an absolute chance to attack. He Wei was very dissatisfied with this foul by Tomozhang Makino, after all, once Fernando was allowed to run, he had countless options to enter the penalty area.

The UAE referee Hassan didn't make any mistakes, and he didn't hesitate to give Makino a yellow card, which can be regarded as mercy.

"A yellow card is used to resolve a single knife, and this foul by Tomoaki Makino is very cost-effective. Xu Yang was slightly sarcastic.

The commentator must maintain a certain neutral attitude, and the fans on the scene are not so easy to speak.

"Black whistle. ”

"It's a stupid x from TM West Asia again. ”

"Referee NMSL!"

Seeing Fernando grinning on the sidelines being sprayed and being treated, the deafening scolding and boos immediately resounded throughout the audience.

In fact, less than ten minutes into the opening game, the central defender received a yellow card, which dealt a big blow to Urawa Ruby's defense, after all, the team's pre-game strategy was to defend, and now the burden on Tomoaki Makino will make him fearful after more than 80 minutes of play.

Fortunately, Tomoaki Makino is also a person who has seen the world, he was seen by the Cologne team of the Bundesliga in 2010, bought and played for a season, although most of the time he played as a substitute, and only played 8 games in total, and then took the initiative to return to Japan, but at least he felt the atmosphere of the Bundesliga game.

No matter how strong Fernando is, he will not be better than the top attacking players in the Bundesliga.

With the Dragons' free kick confiscated by Shusaku Nishikawa, once he became familiar with Fernando's rhythm of playing, with the help of his teammates, Tomoaki Makino finally stabilized his position.

For example, in the fifteenth minute of the first half, the Dragons distributed the ball to the right side after continuous passes on the left side.

Makino Tomozhang chose to follow this time, and kept hitting Fernando with his body, the latter showed good physical fitness, he was only 1.74 meters tall under the interference of 1.82 meters Makino Tomozhang, the ball was held very steadily, and the sideline was diagonally formed a breakthrough.

However, the veteran Yuki Abe made up for the defense in time, and Tomoaki Makino also caught up, and the two teamed up to squeeze Fernando to the touchline, and finally even managed to get his own throw-in.

"Hi!" Seeing Fernando, who was still arguing with the linesman and calculating the ownership of the throw-in, Zhang Sheng whistled, then put his middle and index fingers together and made a forward parabolic gesture, "Fernando! Pass, pass, remember to pass." ”

After gaining the advantage on the right side and allowing the opponent to receive a yellow card, Fernando was obviously too eager to break through with the ball, which actually gave Urawa Ruby a chance to breathe.

Because Urawa Ruby, who is accustomed to a slow pace, is obviously a little unable to cope with the overall high-tempo play of the Longteng team.

The Japanese J-League is known as the Federation of Literary and Artistic Circles, not without reason.

Too much attention to ball control, horizontal passing, small-scale coordination, and deliberately pursuing small skills of mutual transmission make the pace of the J-League game generally slow, for example, the head coach of the Japanese national team, Halilhodzic, who flew from Japan at this time and was watching the game from the stands, sighed: "The confrontation of the J-League is too weak. ”

The weakness of the confrontation must have brought about a slow pace of the game.

When Urawa Ruby encounters a Chinese Super League team other than the Longteng team, they can use crushing foot skills to avoid the opponent's defense and pressing, and then use their own pressing to cut the connection between the opponent's local players and foreign aids, so that the Chinese Super League team with top foreign aid plays extremely uncomfortable, suffocated, and even easily defeats these local tyrant teams.

In real history, in the two games against Shanghai SIPG in the semi-finals, they cut off the connection between Hulk, Oscar, and Elkeson with Akhmedov and Chinese domestic players, forcing Hulk to keep going alone, and then using players with excellent physical fitness and experience in European competitions like Tomoaki Makino to target Hulk.

In the end, he eliminated Shanghai SIPG, and also achieved the reputation of Makino Tomozhang, which once made many Chinese Super League teams associate with him.

But when it comes to a team like the Dragons, who are accustomed to high-tempo confrontation and are not too far behind in their skills, Urawa Ruby is really blind.

Just as in the league, when you encounter teams such as Kashima Antlers, Osaka Sakura, and Kawasaki Frontale, you are at a loss, and the core factor of Urawa Ruby's passive play in this game is the lack of adaptation to the rhythm of the Dragons.

In last year's AFC Champions League, Urawa Ruby still had an excuse to say that the Longteng team had a top foreign aid like Ben Alpha, and his own defense line could not withstand the impact, and now that Ben Alpha is also gone, Urawa's defense line still can't withstand the impact.

After Fernando was yelled at by Zhang Sheng, the attitude of the game was correct, and he also formed a whole with the team, and his speed and skill still reflected the level that foreign aid should have.

Many times, the results of 1+1 can be very different.

Fifteen minutes before the first half, Fernando, who was obsessed with going it alone, made 1+1 less than 2, and fifteen minutes later, he had chemistry with his teammates and made 1+1 greater than 2.

In the 22nd minute, Fernando also attracted Tomoaki Makino and Yuki Abe on the right flank, and this time he scrambled to pass the ball to the assist of right centre-back Dawn, who quickly distributed the ball to the left.

The Dragons instantly formed a four-on-three situation on the left side.

Qi Ming, who received the ball on the left side, stuffed the football straight out along the ball road, because the direction of the ball was not in the penalty area, and Chavez suddenly stuck Endo's body in front of him, blocking him behind, Urawa Ruby's right defense was obviously careless, and the back Yajima Shinya and the right central defender Endo Hang conceded the ball to each other.

The other party gave a big gift, Qi Ming had no reason to let it go, the strength of his ball plug was very small, he quickly accelerated to catch up with the ball, and brought it all the way to the bottom line.

"Qi Ming catches the ball, huh, it's a big trip?" At first, even He Wei was deceived by Qi Ming's action, "Hey! No, Qi Ming chased the ball and hit the goal! Nie Jiang, the ball went in." In the twenty-second minute of the game, Nie Jiang broke the deadlock on the field and helped the Longteng team score the first goal. ”

"This ball, Qi Ming should be credited. Xu Yang said happily, "His foot pass was passed to himself a second later, and the next inverted triangle return pass, Urawa's defense line was completely messed up." ”

Obviously, the Dragons' ability to use the width of the court to pull quickly left and right made Urawa Ruby's defense leaky. He Wei's topic extended further, "Mauricio's position is actually very stable, you see that he is the one who finally intercepts Qi Ming, but there is such a big gap in the penalty area, there are people in the middle and back points of the Longteng team, and he can only defend one line." ”

After losing the ball, Mauricio on the field also tilted his head up, looking unhappy, three central defenders and five defenders with two backs, one dragged four, he couldn't take it.

After the goal, the Jiangcheng Sports Center suddenly sounded "The Song of Nie Jiang".

This is a song that the fans of the Longteng team adapted the song of the young hero Xiao Nezha, and wrote the lyrics by themselves, whenever Nie Jiang scored, the DJ on the scene shouted: "The goal is, No. 9~~~"

After the fans in the audience answered: "Nie Jiang!" After the fan team began to lead the rhythm: "It's him, it's him, it's him, it's him." Our hero is Nie Jiang!"

After hearing Nie Jiang's song, the two commentators also laughed, He Wei was obviously familiar with this scene: "Longteng fans are not only enthusiastic, they obviously put more thought into it, few players in China will have their own songs, and Longteng team heard that most of the players have their own cheering songs, this is too rare." ”

The Longteng team, who led by one goal, played more relaxed.

In the past, the players were sometimes nervous in order to break the deadlock, but after the goal, the mentality was relaxed, especially when they were in possession and there were more passes in the midfield.

The Dragons relaxed the pressure in the frontcourt, Urawa Ruby was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and with a wave of Hori Takashi's big hand, the team pressed out the formation and began to attack for a long time.

Zhang Sheng stood on the sidelines at this time and did not give any command on the field. After almost 30 minutes of frantic pressing, the team has completed the first step of the strategic goal set before the game, and it is time for the players to recover well.

At the same time, take this opportunity to see how Urawa Ruby organizes the attack, after all, the second leg of the Dragons still have an away game to play, you must know that their home stadium - Saitama 2002 Stadium is not easy to play, and the home attack is their forte.

Urawa Ruby has not defended well this season, and the offense has not fallen.

The question is, after observing Urawa for nearly ten minutes of attack, Zhang Sheng had a question mark on his face: "That's it, how did you get 50 goals in the 23rd round of the J-League at this level?"

Due to Yosuke Kashiwagi's injury, former midfielder Takuya Aoki took his place and was responsible for the organization of the attack.

In practice, it doesn't work out well.

is also playing pass control, Aoki Takuya is far inferior to Yosuke Kashiwagi in terms of game observation ability, dribbling skills at his feet, accuracy and imagination of passing.

At the beginning, He Wei also kept praising Takuya Aoki: "Takuya Aoki is very active on the side of Urawa Ruby, and he keeps running up and down to respond. It's a B2B midfielder's style of play, much like Paulinho. ”

"Takuya Aoki has made Urawa a lot tougher in the middle of the defense, although it is not very effective offensively. Then he slowly saw his abilities.

In the end, He Wei couldn't help but start criticizing: "The rhythm is too slow, and the ball should be more resolute." ”

From the praise of B2B at the beginning, to the evaluation of pure defense, and then to the criticism of the final attack, in fact, this is also the trajectory of Takuya Aoki's performance in the forward position in this game - all the way down.

In the past Urawa Ruby games, the team's offensive and defensive signal was Yosuke Kashiwagi's position, and if Yosuke Kashiwagi moved forward more times, it was Urawa's offensive signal, on the contrary, the team had to hold and then think about the next move.

Now Takuya Aoki has learned Paulinho's position in the position, and the result is that the team is under his organization, and the operation is as fierce as a tiger, and the shot on goal is less than five.

The only one who can pose a little threat to the Dragons is their striker Shinzo Xingbai.

As a former international player of the Japanese national team, the 31-year-old is at the peak of his career.

In the case of obvious defensive problems, Urawa can still have the eighth position in the league, and the AFC Champions League can enter the quarterfinals, relying on the team's offensive ability, and Shinzo Kozaki is the most decisive figure in Urawa.

After 23 league games, he has scored 15 goals and is the biggest favorite for the J-League Golden Boot.

When he was young, Shinzo Kozaki was known for his speed and hard work, which was also the basis for his selection for the Japanese national team, and this year, with the increase of age, his speed has inevitably decreased, but his shooting skills have improved a lot.

Whether it is Petrovic, who has been out of class before, or Takashi Hori, who has now taken over, he is unanimously used as a savior, and he is never absent from the league, except for the weak team in the AFC Champions League, the other games are all played.

In the first half, Urawa Ruby only had four attempts on goal, and all of them were a threat to the Dragons' goal.

In the fifth minute, his long-range shot caused Jiang to get off the hook, and Urawa won a corner, which was also his first header inside the woodwork.

In the seventeenth minute, it was Xing Bai Shensan who rarely hit the front of the Longteng team's penalty area, and a volley grazed the post and went out of the bottom line, and Jiang Mingming didn't even react.

And in the 19th minute, Urawa Ruby took a free kick in front, and Shinzo Kozaki grabbed the second point and formed an attack again.

That is, a few shots from Shinzo Kozaki gave the Urawa team the idea that they could still attack.

Seeing that the team was able to push the attack to within 30 meters of the Dragons at the end of the first half, Hori Takashi decided to continue to strengthen the attack.

After all, in the first 30 minutes of the opening game, the Longteng team's high pressing physical energy consumption is a level that he can't see in the J-League at all.

In the group stage against Shanghai SIPG, another side in the Chinese Super League, all three of Urawa's goals came in the late stages of the second half.

Zhuyu is in front, playing the Longteng team, which is also the Chinese Super League, and the team can be copied.
