24. Equal

Compared with the praise of the two commentators for the Longteng players alone, Zhang Sheng attaches more importance to the successful realization of his own tactics.

In this attack, the Dragons no longer pursued the deliberate frequent short passes at their feet, but chose a more direct and efficient, and at the same time a greater threat to a wide range of long passes.

In fact, after Qi Ming got the ball, there was another choice, that is, to make the ball back to Roque Gill, let the latter dribble the ball, let him choose to organize the attack twice, if Qi Ming did this, no one would say a word.

But this season, Zhang Sheng's tactics of pursuing more fast, rational and sudden offense are needed to make such a choice.

Next, Ben Alpha judged the situation at the right time, and the passing that was not obsessed with dribbling and shooting options also reflected Zhang Sheng's tactical thinking.

What could be more satisfying for a coach than to be able to develop a good strategy and have his players execute their tactics flawlessly?

Zhang Sheng was satisfied, and Scolari was happy.

This season's Scolari had mixed feelings before the game, happy that top domestic players like Lin Feng were caught by the club and accused him of being under his account, and worrying that Martinez, who he didn't want, was bought by the club.

Now Martinez is simply injured and can't play.

In order to ensure the team's results, Scolari made a "compromise", Paulinho's offensive ability was completely released by him, and in the case of Goulart being marked a little strictly, Paulinho turned out to be the offensive engine of Guangzhou Evergrande.

Paulinho did bring a lot of variables to Guangzhou Evergrande's attack, making them stronger in the layering of the attack, not only that, but Scolari also gave Paulinho great support in the midfield.

With the configuration of Guangzhou Evergrande, in fact, they have the ability to put top domestic players with good breakthrough ability on both sides of the midfield, including Gao Lin, Yu Hanchao, Zheng Long, Zhang Wenzhao and other players who have been famous for a long time.

But in order to ensure that Paulinho opened up the gap, in order to wipe Paulinho's forward butt, Scolari did not play such a speed breakthrough player on the side, but on Huang Bowen.

This intention is obvious, that is, to use a player like Huang Bowen, who originally served as a central midfielder, to achieve a better offensive and defensive balance, and to ensure that the two wings will not appear aggressive at the same time, resulting in an imbalance between the offense and defense of the whole team.

Scolari's tactics for Guangzhou Evergrande are really good, with the overall strength of their team, they can make the vast majority of teams unable to break this balance, but unfortunately now they have met the Longteng team.

The goal that Guangzhou Evergrande lost just now was that Paulinho could not come back to the front when he stepped forward to attack, and Huang Bowen did not hold it when he was defending Qiming, which led to a great reduction in their interception and sweeping ability in the backfield, otherwise with Paulinho's defensive and confrontation ability, the Longteng team's attack was destroyed by Paulinho again like the opening time.

Before conceding this goal, in fact, Guangzhou Evergrande still has a certain advantage in the midfield, Scolari is full of hope to let the Longteng team make mistakes under his own pressure, but he didn't expect the opponent to find his only weakness and strike.

But in any case, for Scolari, now that the team is behind, and in the face of a top team like the Dragons, Paulinho will not retreat to defend backwards, and he will not retreat to defend in this game, and he can't defend Ben Alpha, so he can rely on Paulinho's insertion to attack in order to give the Dragons enough pressure, so as to get back the feeling of playing with other teams. And the players in the front court, Alain, Goulart are all talents, and the tactical execution ability is good, and Scolari likes them very much.

Thinking of this, Scolari made adjustments to the position of the players up front.

This time he opted for a more risky move, which was to move Gollin to the right and Goulart to the left, giving Paulinho more space to cut forward and change it to 4-2-2-2.

Scolari's change of formation gave the Dragons a big threat.

Alan and Gao Lin's double forward and side-to-side style of play corresponds to the two wings of the Dragons' two central defenders and a forward central defender, and Ben Alpha and Xiang Tiange are too close to give the wing a lot of space.

This leads to the need for Qi Ming and Tao Wentao to keep helping Ben Alpha and Xiang Tiange to fill the position, when the whole team is in a defensive posture, it is okay, when the team is in an offensive state, Qi Ming and Tao Wentao also want to go up to help, at this time it is very painful to be counterattacked by the opponent, and Guangzhou Evergrande seized these opportunities.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, after the Longteng team attacked the front, Zou Weijia's last shot was not grasped well and was easily confiscated by Zengcheng, who threw the ball with a strong hand and handed the ball directly to Goulart on the left side.

At this time, the Longteng team had just completed the attack, and the formation of the whole team was extremely high, and when Zengcheng's fast hand throw was taken by Gaolat, Tao Wentao had not come back in the front court, although he ran back desperately, it was still too far away.

As a slightly deeper midfielder, Roque Gill could only fill in for Tao Wentao, but when he left his position, Goulart stuffed the ball into Alan who ran into the box from the left wing, and Du Zhenyu blocked in front of Alan to block his shot.

What Du Zhenyu didn't expect was that Alain's shot this time was just a feint, he lightly buckled at his feet, changed the ball from his right foot to his left foot, and then the cross of his left foot directly found Gao Lin at the back point.

Allan's possession of the ball just now attracted most of the attention of the Dragons' defence, so when Gao Lin got the ball, he was faced with an empty goal.

"Great opportunity for Guangzhou Evergrande. Even Liu Jianhong shouted, "Ah, I actually shot high." ”

"Will this ball shoot away?" Huang Jianxiang also had an expression of disbelief, "This is an empty door." It's such a rare opportunity. ”

Liu Jianhong and Huang Jianxiang's explanations were also Gao Lin's own thoughts at this time: "I didn't score such an opportunity?"

Scolari jumped off the bench in anger from the sidelines, and it was clear that Golling's shot made him very unhappy.

Gao Lin's shooting method is so few, the shooting skill is low, has been criticized by the outside world, aside, he has no other way to shoot except for the vigorous volley, which requires extremely high shooting skills to perform, and the shooting method of the vigorous volley is not as tense as the official game in the usual training, because the confrontation is not urgent, the atmosphere is not as tense as the official game, and it can not be seen that once it comes to the official game, especially in the face of such a tight game as the Longteng team, it is completely impossible to find the crosshairs.

This time, Gao Lin still took this way of shooting, so it was reasonable to lose the ball.

However, after Scolari shouted angrily on the sidelines, he adjusted his mood, shouted at Golling, and then gave him a round of applause, indicating that he should continue to work hard and strive to score.

Guangzhou Evergrande's attack this time really gave the players a lot of stimulation, and then their offense played more resolutely, and the defensive pressure on the Longteng team was even greater.

In the 35th minute of the first half, referee Fan Qi finally took out the first yellow card of the game, this time it was Roque-Gill who fouled Paulinho when defending in the midfield, pulled him to the ground, and gave his own yellow card under the pressure of Guangzhou Evergrande players.

Roque Gil was completely crushed by Paulinho with physical and technical skills this time, and he had to take a foul to prevent being penetrated by the opposition in the middle.

Guangzhou Evergrande also took advantage of this opportunity and got a free kick in front.

The goal of the Longteng team in the location of Evergrande's free kick is about 30 meters, which is completely within Paulinho's range.

The Longteng team also attaches great importance to the free kick defense this time, because Paulinho's heavy artillery has always been a sharp weapon for Guangzhou Evergrande to score in free kicks, and in order to prevent him from shooting directly at the goal, the team put a two-layer wall of seven people.

Paulinho, after observing the position of the Dragons, found that there were not many opportunities.

As a Brazilian player, Paulinho has a certain ability to take free kicks, but in fact, it is not top-notch, his free kicks are not the type of explosions except for bursts, which are completely the type of miracles that make a miracle, and don't think about how good he is with curveballs, falling leaves, and elevator balls.

The Longteng team's wall position this time is very reasonable, and Paulinho doesn't have much to do, so he can only see if he can get out with one foot, and it just so happens that some players in the Longteng team can jump up and leak through.

When Paulinho's powerful volley was played, Xiang Tiange also jumped up at this time, and the ball hit Xiang Tiange's jumping leg, which was refracted and flew directly into the penalty area.

And there was a player wearing a Guangzhou Evergrande jersey who rushed up for the first time and grabbed the ball, and this person was Gao Lin.

In the emergency situation on the field, the more prepared to do, the higher the desire for victory The player reacts the fastest, Gao Lin who has missed an empty goal before has been holding a fire in his heart, and after seeing the refraction, his first reaction is faster than all the others, and he runs more resolutely than all the others.

Gao Lin, who got the ball, became a single knife at this time.

This time Gao Lin did not let the opportunity slip from his feet, he learned the lesson of his last shot and chose the easiest and most secure push.

Under his push, the football flew straight to the net of the Longteng team, although Huang Dawei made a save, but Gao Lin's shot was too close.

In the end, the ball went over Huang Dawei's arm and into the net.

"Paulinho, shoot. Liu Jianhong said expectantly, "The ball speed is so fast, there is refraction, Evergrande scores." Entered, entered, entered! Who, No. 29, is Gao Lin. Haha, it's finally atonement. ”

"Gao Lin has been in good shape during this time. Huang Jianxiang also smiled, "This goal came too timely, and the equalizer in the first half is too important for Guangzhou Evergrande." The Dragons are a team with super first-class rhythm control, their overall passing level is high, once they are ahead, they have always made the opponent helpless, let them bring the lead into the second half, and it is very difficult to break through the cage from their rhythm. ”

"Haha. You are not afraid of big things when you watch the excitement. Liu Jianhong also heard Huang Jianxiang's voice, "Now that the situation on the field is balanced, the confrontation between the two sides will be more intense, the scene will be more beautiful, and the fans will be happier." ”

Seeing this goal, Scolari was excited like an old child, jumped up several times in a row on the field, and then turned around and hugged his assistant coaches warmly, at this time everyone remembered that this has always liked to keep a straight face, not smiling, and likes to scare opponents and coaches at every turn, and the old man of the Football Association is a Brazilian, and he is still full of Brazilian passion in his bones.

"Look at Si Shuai. Huang Jianxiang also smiled in surprise, "It's rare to see him like this." ”

"The pressure on him from the Dragons is too great. Liu Jianhong is very considerate of Scolari, "From falling behind to equalizing, it can be regarded as a ruthless breath." ”

"Let's look at what's next, it's definitely going to be better. Huang Jianxiang also smiled.

After scoring this goal, Guangzhou Evergrande changed from the previous depression to raising eyebrows, the player's running was more vigorous, and it was the end of the first half, the Longteng team was overwhelmed in momentum, and even the physical fitness that had an advantage was not as good as the other party, which is a situation that can rarely be seen in recent years.

Zhang Sheng didn't go back to the bench at this time, he stood directly on the sidelines, kept pushing forward from both sides, signaling the players to strengthen the press, strengthen the pressing, be sure to press out the formation, and don't leave the threat in their own 30-meter area.

In Zhang Sheng's roar, the players of the Longteng team mustered up their remaining strength and tried to push the formation out, but they encountered an extremely crazy rush, Evergrande intercepted the players of the Longteng team in the midfield, and the physical contact became more and more intense.

In addition, Fan Qi was relatively loose in the penalty area, and in the midfield belt, the players on both sides frequently fell to the ground, first Ben Alpha was kicked to the heel by Huang Bowen, which made Ben Alpha, who had been shoveled by Shu Jun once, extremely angry.

Next, when Alan and Tao Wentao grabbed the header, Tao Wentao hit the back of the head with his arm in the air, which made Alan unhappy.

Before the end of the first half, Zheng Zhi raised his foot too high in a rush with Qi Ming, and directly kicked on Qi Ming's head to grab the head, fortunately Qi Ming dodged quickly and avoided a headshot, but Zheng Zhi also received a yellow card for this extremely dangerous action.

This time it is the turn of Scolari on the sidelines to be unhappy, Zheng Zhi is an extremely important backcourt sweeper for the team now, and this yellow card is likely to become a hidden danger like that of Roque Gill of the Longteng team.

When Fan Qi blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the two sides were tied, each scored a goal, each received a yellow card, and each had several good chances.

The two heroes of the Chinese Super League will fight equally.
