Paulinho's defense brought great applause from the Tianhe Stadium.

Duan Xuan also praised sincerely: "Paulinho's defensive coverage area is really too wide, a few seconds ago he was still in the middle ready to participate in the attack, the first time Yu Bo passed, he switched from offense to defense, and this time the tackle after the chase was clean and neat, and an excellent counterattack opportunity for the Longteng team was gone." ”

While fans and commentators alike praised Guangzhou Evergrande's successful defense this time, Zhang Sheng was not discouraged by the interruption of the attack.

Before coming to Guangzhou, Zhang Sheng knew that the away game was not easy to play, and the two-legged game must be divided into priorities, Guangzhou Evergrande in his home field to attack with all his might is something that Zhang Sheng had long expected, standing firm on defense, seeking counterattack is also an established strategy, this counterattack is the result of the implementation of Zhang Sheng's tactical arrangement, although it was finally destroyed by Paulinho, but the team is on the right path.

This time, Guangzhou Evergrande is thanks to Paulinho's desperate pursuit, but he can have such a key defense a few times, even if he can guarantee such physical fitness in the first half, can he still guarantee it in the second half? Not to mention that Pato on the right side has not yet made a force.

After Xiao Yunfan threw this throw-in, the Longteng team began to slowly control the ball.

Ball control is the most distinctive feature of the Longteng team, especially when they want to control the rhythm, ball control and transmission are the first choice of the Longteng team.

So after the rare possession of the ball, Guangzhou Evergrande's most annoying situation happened, the Longteng team used them to attack a node after more than ten minutes, and dragged the previous fast rhythm into a warm swallow.

In the face of the Longteng team's non-stop crossing and return passing, Guangzhou Evergrande used the oppressive pressing tactics arranged before the game.

Evergrande's pressing tactics in this game learned the lessons of the last time they played the Longteng team, and while focusing on blocking Lin Feng, they also took into account Tao Wentao.

Lin Feng's forward passing line is mainly blocked by Paulinho, and Tao Wentao is simply marked by Zheng Zhi, obviously in the last game Tao Wentao's ability to get rid of the ball after gaining space made Guangzhou Evergrande too impressed, they may let Lin Feng go, not afraid of him breaking through with the ball, Tao Wentao can not be taken lightly.

Of course, the Dragons can get the current results, not only this means, in addition to the strong ball control ability, the change of offensive rhythm is their killer feature, even if this game Ben Alpha can not play due to injury, the Dragons have one less variant, and another big killer Pato Ke is still there.

In the twenty-sixth minute of the first half, after a non-stop pass in the midfield, the attack of the Longteng team suddenly accelerated, and this time it was Pato who was brilliant.

Guangzhou Evergrande also knew that Pato must be the frontcourt explosion of the Longteng team in this game, so he was very close to him, after all, Pato was strong in his sudden start, and he did not have much advantage in physical confrontation.

Overall, Guangzhou Evergrande's defense of Pato was very successful before this, Zheng Long and Zou Zheng on the left side are both fast and explosive players, and it is not easy for the latter to get rid of Pato through speed after they are close to Pato.

But Zhang Sheng was also prepared for this before the game.

That is, on the left side, let Yu Bo take advantage of his good physical fitness and strong body characteristics to help Xiao Yunfan return to defense, and on the right side, let Lin Feng and Tao Wentao come over and attack together.

This is how the Longteng team's attack this time took place, and they also played a little trick, that is, Tao Wentao and Pato switched positions.

This temporary change of position in the front court caused great confusion to Guangzhou Evergrande, because Zheng Long, as a left midfielder, could not follow Pato in the middle.

So when Pato handed the ball to Tao Wentao and walked to the middle by himself, Zheng Long chose to go to the passing line that Tao Wentao gave Pato, and Tao Wentao chose to force a breakthrough.

For Tao Wentao's breakthrough, Zheng Long was obviously a little unprepared, so that Tao Wentao's fake pass was really good to be confused, Tao Wentao left Zheng Long behind him with a beautiful outside line after wearing the gear, and when the latter reacted, Tao Wentao had already changed direction and successfully ran along the sideline.

Seeing that Zheng Long was broken through, Zou Zheng hurriedly came over to fill the position, and when Zou Zheng came up, Tao Wentao passed the ball again, and the object of the pass was Pato, who was about to run the gap behind Zou Zheng.

At this time, Paulinho was still entangled with Lin Feng, and the only ones who could pose a threat to Pato were Kim Yingquan who was replaced by the central defender and Zheng Zhi who was replaced by the midfield.

But Pato, who ran up at speed, changed direction again and accelerated after receiving the ball, Pato changed direction again to get rid of it and caught Zheng Zhi and Kim Yingquan off guard, especially Zheng Zhi, compared with Pato, he suffered too much in speed, although he tried hard to change direction and block, he was still a step slower, but it affected Jin Yingquan's judgment and let Pato pass through the gap between the two people.

Pato, who broke through the two-man defense, entered the box with the ball alone.

At this time, in the penalty area, Nie Jiang was running sideways to pull the gap, Feng Xiaoting gritted his teeth, gave up Nie Jiang, and blocked the angle of Pato's shot.

It should be said that the cooperation between the two of them is still very good, Pato's shooting angle in the near corner and the straight shooting angle in the far corner are gone, and all he has left is to knock horizontally to find Nie Jiang, and Paulinho has long given up the entanglement of Lin Feng, and gave up the work to Zheng Long, who came back from defense, and he went to defend Nie Jiang.

Pato, who stopped the ball next, faced Feng Xiaoting, who was standing in front of him, made a move that all Evergrande players felt was unreasonable - he chose to shoot directly, and he chose the far corner.

Feng Xiaoting saw Pato's shot stretched out his legs, and wanted to interfere with the route of the ball's flight, according to the shooting skills of most domestic players, the ball must have gone in a straight line, but Pato's shot made the ball cross an extremely beautiful arc, not only bypassing Feng Xiaoting's outstretched legs, but also flying to the far post impartially.

At this time, Zengcheng could only give up completely, watching Pato's shot let the ball fly over, and prayed in his heart that the ball would miss.

Unfortunately, Pato's shot was so powerful that he turned a corner and bounced straight inside the post into the net just as he was about to fly to the post.

Seeing this goal, Duan Xuan was a little stunned: "Pato's beautiful acceleration changed direction and got rid of Evergrande's defense. Entered the penalty area, Nie Jiang is in the middle, you can pass horizontally, oh oh oh! Pato shoots, beautiful! Shoot with his feet on the spot, this arc is too beautiful, Feng Xiaoting and Zengcheng thought they had blocked all the angles, but they still underestimated Pato's shooting skills! The ball went in, such a shot, what can the goalkeeper do? There is no way, this is the ability of the top shooter!"

"That's true. Pato's shot reminded me of the previous Italian star Andrea Pirlo, who was also able to play a beautiful curling ball on the flank of the penalty area, leaving the opposing defenders completely helpless. Xu Yang also echoed and exclaimed, "Look at the ball shot by Pato, you can't see the rotation in the air at all, it takes a lot of power to produce, and Pato is in the same place." When it comes to shooting ability, Pato is definitely the top in the Chinese Super League. ”

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, Duan Xuan also said as if he had become a fan of Pato: "Not only the shot, but also the breakthrough after his high-speed dribble before the shot, which shows that he has basically reached the original Pato now." ”

After listening to Xu Yang's words, Duan Xuan suddenly sighed and said: "A return to the original Pato, if that's the case, maybe we won't see many games for him in the Chinese Super League." ”

Duan Xuan's words made Xu Yang very surprised, but he also quickly heard the connotation of Duan Xuan's words, if Pato really returned to his original state and ability, the small pond of the Chinese Super League really couldn't trap him, and he would have to return to the top five European leagues with a higher level sooner or later.

The topic of Pato was quickly skipped by the two, after all, it was still in the game, and Pato on the field was now excitedly rushing to the sidelines to interact with the Longteng fans who came from afar, at least for now, Pato still belongs to the Chinese Super League.

And Zhang Sheng on the sidelines also looked at Pato with a look of relief, from this goal, it can be seen that he already has the style of the "golden boy" back then, maybe he will be the first world-class player to save after coming to this world.

When the Longteng team was extremely happy, Guangzhou Evergrande at this time seemed a little low, let the Longteng team lead the game, this season they have not lost - of course, this season the Longteng team has only lost once, but the Longteng team led the game, the winning rate is as high as 71%, such a terrible result proves that this team has an extremely stable play and an unexpectedly mature mentality, although the vast majority of the players in this team are very young.

On the contrary, Guangzhou Evergrande has several games during this time, except for the game against the Longteng team, they all conceded the goal first and then reversed, before the game, a reporter specifically mentioned this problem, asked him what he thought about this way of playing, Scolari said: "I hope we play well and win the game." I don't like games like this, we're always training without conceding goals, but that's the way football is played, there are goals scored and goals conceded. ”

From Scolari's words, it can be seen that he is also very unhappy with such a situation.

Of course, it is not without benefits, for example, at this time, Zheng Zhi, as the captain, is cheering everyone up: "Don't be discouraged. During this period, we conceded a lot of goals first, and the final winner was not always us, even if we played against the Longteng team last time we played away, we still came back from behind. Today is our home stadium, as long as we work harder, we can not only get back, but also surpass it, come on, everyone!"

Sometimes a player's mental adjustment is as simple as that, and it only takes a reason to see it, and they can quickly turn from low to excited.

After kicking off again, Guangzhou Evergrande seems to have been completely unaffected by the previous goals conceded, and the players are still playing in a disciplined manner on the field, and there is no situation where many teams rush out after losing the ball.

In the 30th minute, Guangzhou Evergrande, who had been trying hard to score a goal, played a very threatening attack.

This time it was Huang Bowen and Goulart who played on the right side again, when Goulart passed the ball to Huang Bowen, and the players of the Longteng team thought they would play a two-by-one again, Huang Bowen passed the ball to Paulinho, because Roque Gil had gone to fill in for Ma Yongli, resulting in only Lin Feng defending Paulinho, the former used his forced body to resist Lin Feng, and then hit the door with a heavy artillery outside the penalty area, fortunately, Huang Dawei was very focused, he didn't dare to catch the ball, he saved the ball with his palm, and Guangzhou Evergrande won a corner kick.

Paulinho's long-range shot greatly boosted the morale of Guangzhou Evergrande, although the ball was saved, Paulinho still applauded vigorously with both hands and cheered for his teammates.

In the attack of this corner kick, Guangzhou Evergrande also played a routine, that is, let the right Goulart change to the left to grab the back point, but Elkeson was pulled to the right and prepared to grab the front point.

The Longteng team's reaction to this time was a little slower, after Huang Bowen's corner kick was sent to the front point, because the Longteng team adopted the tactics of regional defense, and Elkeson was not Lu Zhihui, but Ma Yongli, he used his body to resist Ma Yongli, rubbed the ball to the back point, and the speed at the foot of Gaolat at the back point was obviously more flexible than Lu Zhihui, and he grabbed Lu Zhihui's foot before he pushed the goal directly.

Fortunately, Zhou Zhou was standing next to the post, he blocked Goulart's shot with his belly, and then kicked the ball out of the sideline with a big kick.

Huang Dawei, who didn't have time to save at all, was also glad to hug Zhou Zhou and express his gratitude.

In the face of Guangzhou Evergrande's strong attack, the Longteng team is not without opportunities, in the thirty-fifth minute of the first half, Pato moved to the middle to help Tao Wentao take away the attention of the defense, and finally passed an extremely beautiful ball to the opponent, Tao Wentao knocked the ball to the middle at the sideline, Zengcheng saved the ball with a punch, but the ball did not go far, and was taken by Nie Jiang in the penalty area.

After taking the ball, Nie Jiang was on the edge of the penalty area, a calm right side smashed, and then the next left foot shot directly at the goal, the ball hit Feng Xiaoting's body and produced a broken line, but the ball changed to the back and slid out of the door slightly, scaring Zengcheng who couldn't save in a cold sweat.

This ball vividly shows Nie Jiang's adaptability in a small space and excellent foot skills.

The previous shots from both sides were mostly the performance of foreign aids, but this time it is rare to have a domestic player, and it is a future star like Nie Jiang who has been given high hopes, Duan Xuan hurriedly sent his praise: "Beautiful." Nie Jiang's shot, his shot in the penalty area, is definitely the performance of a top scorer. ”

Xu Yang also praised: "Being able to do moves calmly in such a small space is far more comparable to this ball quotient and psychological quality." ”

Nie Jiang's shot did not make Guangzhou Evergrande give up the idea of attacking, this time the Longteng team did not expand the score but gave them more confidence, and Evergrande's attack became more and more fierce. 10
