28. Fierce battle in the first half

Soon, with a long whistle from the referee, the game began. Jianye, who got the right to kick off the ball www.biquge.info, began to attack the Longteng team with the cheers of more than 8,000 fans at home.

After kicking off, Bi Jinhao passed the ball back to Wang Jianan. Wang Jiannan was directly brought in from the Jianye U17 team. As one of the few good seedlings in the past two years, Wang Jiannan won the favor of Weisley, the former foreign coach of Jianye, and it was under his strong recommendation that Wang Jiannan was able to put on the jersey of the national youth team. When he was coached by Wisley, Wang Jiannan got a lot of opportunities to play in the Chinese Super League, but after Shen Xiangfu took over, the youngster rarely had the opportunity to perform. However, in the FA Cup, Wang Jiannan got the opportunity to start.

Wang Jianan, who got the ball, began to rush directly to the half of the Longteng team, just got the ball in less than a few seconds, the Longteng team's striker Wen Kai forced up, after a beautiful acceleration pass, Wang Jiannan got rid of Wen Kai's entanglement, and the fans on the opening stage also applauded him. But soon Liu Xing on the left side followed up again, forcing Wang Jianan, after not finding a chance to play the ball, Wang Jianan drove the ball to the front of the Longteng team's penalty area with a big foot, but because it was a passing ball under the pressure, the ball floated high and high, and Gao Jun, who had already stood in a good position, jumped up and gave the ball to Huang Zongwei on the side.

Bi Jinhao, who is 1.9 meters tall, glanced at Gao Jun who was competing with him just now, he never expected that a player who was less than 1.8 meters tall would actually gain the upper hand in the competition with himself for the header, in fact, this is also a common problem of many domestic players - poor sense of position. In football, the header race does not have to be tall to gain an absolute advantage. For defenders, anticipation and defensive positioning are far more important than height. Especially in a header scramble, the player who is facing the ball has a far advantage in anticipation and positioning than the player who is facing away from the ball.

This is the case this time, for the landing point of the ball, Gao Jun is obviously better than Bi Jinhao's position, when Bi Jinhao has not jumped, Gao Jun has judged the landing point of the ball, jumped high, and ferried the ball to his teammates. However, at this time, Bi Jinhao's physical advantage was still brought into play, and Gao Jun, who jumped up, still did not stand firm when he landed under the impact of Bi Jinhao. Huang Zongwei, who got the ball on the right side, couldn't pass the ball back to Gao Jun, so he could only pass it back to Shu Jun, the right back in the back. Otherwise, this time Gao Jun can transition and launch an attack.

However, after pre-match training, Huang Zongwei did not rush to attack, but stabilized the ball. After Shu Jun got the ball, under the pressure of the opposing player, he returned the ball to goalkeeper Liu Fangming, and Liu Fangming transitioned the ball to Li Yun, Li Yun looked at the opponent's formation and stood very stable, and did not get up big, but continued to pass with several defenders, seeing that the Longteng team continued to pass in their backfield, and did not attack, the home team sent out bursts of boos, in their opinion, it was too shameless to play like this, and there was no difference from a negative game.

The Dragons players were clearly unaffected by the fans, still patiently looking for opportunities back and forth in their own half. However, with the continuous passing and running of the Longteng team, the ball still slowly crossed the half of the Jianye team. As soon as the half passed, the attack of the Longteng team immediately accelerated, especially Qin Minghao, even if there was a close defense of the Jianye team, he still created a huge threat, in the cooperation with his teammates, Qin Minghao's superior foot skills made the players who defended him at a loss, and the defenders of the Jianye team did not have any impact on Qin Minghao's passing and receiving.

Good sense of position and superb foot skills make Qin Minghao receive the ball very steadily, and the pass is also very beautiful, the defenders obviously can't keep up with Qin Minghao's rhythm, and it is often Qin Minghao who handles the ball with one kick, and the opponent stretches his feet.

Especially in the 15th minute of the first half, Qin Minghao used the technique at his feet, passed the ball to Liu Xing on the left, and then turned around and rushed to the penalty area, Liu Xing handed the ball to Zhou Hai who came up to form an offensive triangle on the side, Zhou Hai's kick was given to Wen Kai from the penalty area again, and Wen Kai gave the ball to Liu Xing, Liu Xing took the ball in the penalty area, and shot slightly above the lintel.

This series of cooperation broke through the defense of the entire Jianye team. Qin Minghao in the middle attracted 2 defenders, Zhou Hai attracted 2, Wen Kai attracted one, Huang Zongwei on the right attracted one, and Liu Xing was completely undefended.

Jianye team's substitute goalkeeper Zhou Yajun complained to his defenders: "Don't just watch the ball, don't look at people, let others cut directly into the penalty area to form a goal, it's too dangerous." Ma Chongchong, the young guard in charge of defense, apologized to Zhou Yajun embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." Because he went up to defend Zhou Hai and vacated the position of right center back, it led to Liu Xing's unguarded shot.

Zhang Sheng clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up to the players on the field, indicating that the attack was good and praised him. And Shen Xiangfu on the sidelines shouted loudly to the field: "Stand in a good position, stand in a good position, don't rush to the defense." Then he made a gesture, and the players on the field of Jianye immediately understood, and the coach asked to play faster.

It should be said that since the Chinese Super League entered the golden era, especially after Evergrande's big investment, the competitive level of the entire Chinese Super League has risen in a straight line. Especially in the two items of running distance and running without the ball, there has been a big improvement. Henan Jianye team is one of the best. Whether it is Tang Yaodong's leadership era or Shen Xiangfu's leadership, the running and effective running requirements of the players are higher, especially Shen Xiangfu, as a coach from Beijing Guoan, the guidance requirements of "Xiao Lingkuai" have always been his coaching purpose. The demands on the players to run are very high.

After receiving Shen Xiangfu's instructions, the Jianye team began to run and rush a lot, it should be said that the Jianye team's pressing still caused a lot of discomfort to the Longteng team, no more than the past China B team, the Jianye team's pressing is obviously more technical and tactical. It's not a rush of scrambles, and when a player is close to him, there are often 1 or 2 teammates to help cut off the passing lane. At this time, the requirements for the player's physical fitness, foot skills and passing skills are very high. Only players with strong bodies, good foot skills, and good passing skills can use their skills to control the ball at their feet in physical confrontations, and at the same time be able to pass the ball correctly to a teammate.

Especially Huang Zongwei on the right side, because of the habitual sticky ball of kicking, he was snatched by the opponent several times, or caused a passing error under the pressure of the opponent. After Zhang Sheng shouted a few words loudly, and Qin Minghao took the initiative to lean over to get the ball, Huang Zongwei's right side stabilized.

In the first half, until more than 30 minutes, the two sides were basically evenly matched, the Jianye team used physical fitness to occupy a certain advantage, and the Longteng team relied on technology to stabilize the position.

However, as the first half approached 40 minutes, the Dragons, who were in an offensive advantage, used their skills to gain a physical advantage. After continuous high-intensity pressing, the Jianye team had certain problems with the team's running at the 40-minute mark.

Qin Minghao, who had a keen sense of the overall situation, quickly took advantage of the moment when the opponent's tempo slowed down to send an attack.

The initiator of this attack was Gao Jun. After getting the ball again, Gao Jun found that Bi Jinhao did not rush up with his body to fight like before, but only ran over symbolically, Gao Jun used the advantages of physical flexibility to avoid Bi Jinhao's defense this time, and then after bringing a few meters of the ball, soon when the opponent's defender pounced, the ball was distributed to the left side, and at the same time he ran forward, and Wang Jianan, who was opposite Gao Jun, followed Gao Jun to his own court.

Liu Xing, who received the ball, did not hesitate and passed the ball back to Gao Jun, Gao Jun gave the ball to Qin Minghao with one kick, and Qin Minghao also kicked the ball and gave the ball to Zhou Hai, who inserted the assist. Zhou Hai gave the ball to Liu Xing, Liu Xing went straight into the penalty area, this time Ma Chongchong did not rashly defend Zhou Hai, and after seeing Zhou Hai out of the ball, he followed Liu Xing and blocked the angle of Liu Xing's shot.

But Liu Xing also had no intention of shooting at all this time, and directly passed the ball to Qin Minghao with an inverted triangle pass, Qin Minghao in the middle was completely empty, Jianye's central defender was shocked, and regardless of whether he fouled or not, he rushed to Qin Minghao with a sliding shovel, but Qin Minghao did not receive the ball, but jumped up to avoid the sliding shovel, and at the same time let the ball go, Wen Kai on the right of Qin Minghao rushed to the goal, and shot at the goal, breaking through the door of Wang Yajun, the goalkeeper of the Jianye team, who had lost his position.

This series of attacks from the middle of the midfield to the left, and then back to the middle, the last three kicks are the key, for the sudden acceleration of the Longteng team, the Jianye team players who have been running for nearly 40 minutes obviously can't keep up with the rhythm. So much so that the defense is passive defense, and in the end it still leaks.

After scoring the goal, Wen Kai ran to Liu Xing to thank him for passing the ball, and also hugged Qin Minghao to thank him for his omission. At a time when the Dragons players celebrated with a bang. The players of the Jianye team were a little remorseful, seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, and when the players wanted to slow down the rhythm, they were immediately scored by the Longteng team in a fast pace. As long as they can hold on for a few more minutes, the team will be able to enter the second half with a draw.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but give Qin Minghao a thumbs up outside the court, he could keenly notice the change in the opponent's rhythm, could observe the opponent's situation on the field, and then resolutely sent an attack, and in the final attack, the key omission, this ball was completely Qin Minghao's credit. The rest of the players played a supporting role in this attack.
