138. Zero angle
When it came to the end of the first half, Guangzhou Evergrande's right side defense was indeed a little unbearable, Zhang Sheng, who was aware of Guangzhou Evergrande's weakness, waved his hand and simply let the players of the Longteng team increase the attack on the right side of Evergrande, and suddenly Evergrande's defense was in danger, which is very similar to the tactics of those generals on the battlefield in history - chiseling through tactics, that is, breaking all the way to let other roads also collapse, and finally taking Huanglong.

In the 38th minute, Ben Arfa, with the help of Ivo and Tao Wentao, attacked the right side of Guangzhou Evergrande.
First Tao Wentao helped Ben Alpha break through Gao Lin and Gao Jun's defense, and then Ivo also leaned over, after a small range of continuous passes, Gao Jun and Rene completely pulled away, and finally Ivo sent a very good pass, after taking the ball, Ben Alpha broke through Zhang Linpeng's defense, and after several consecutive changes of direction, Zhang Linpeng was completely shaken down, and then Ben Alpha went directly into the penalty area.
Because of the strong breakthrough of the Longteng team on the right side, the defenders of Guangzhou Evergrande pressed their defensive center of gravity, Liu Jian and Feng Xiaoting in the middle came to the left side of the penalty area to assist in defense, among which Liu Jian came closely, Feng Xiaoting was stuck with Ben Alpha's pass to the middle, hoping to completely force Ben Alpha out of the bottom line, because the space for Ben Alpha to move in the penalty area was already very narrow.
But they underestimated Ben Alpha's determination to make a strong breakthrough this time, and also underestimated Ben Alpha's technical ability, he firmly controlled the ball that was about to be brought out of the bottom line at his feet, and after making the action of passing the ball to the left side, he suddenly accelerated again, although Liu Jian was not moved, but he still appropriately adjusted the center of gravity, so that Ben Alpha had a chance to pass the ball, but in this little narrow gap adjusted by Liu Jian, Ben Alpha got up.
Including Guangzhou Evergrande's goalkeeper Zeng Cheng did not expect Ben Alpha to shoot at a close to zero angle, the ball shot very beautifully, the ball in the little gap left by Liu Jian and Zeng Cheng and the goal post between the line that only allowed a ball to fly forward, and when Zeng Cheng pounced on the flying ball, the ball had already drilled into the net.
The Dragons took a 1-0 lead at their home stadium.
After scoring the goal, Ben Alpha faced the fan with a smug face, a cool attitude that despised the world, and then made a statement to Zhang Sheng: See, I have such a strong expression, which makes people love and hate.
This ball can be said to be a complete embodiment of Ben Alpha's personal ability, and it can also be said to be the harvest of Zhang Sheng's insistence on playing on the right side.
When Ben Alpha began to shake Zhang Linpeng and began to dribble the ball into the penalty area, Zhang Sheng stood on the sidelines excitedly, because he had a hunch that this ball Ben Alpha had a play, and when Ben Alpha used his super shooting ability to shoot successfully, Zhang Sheng was also excited like a fan, jumping high, waving his arms vigorously, and Xu Erle and He Lijun next to him also excitedly rushed to the sidelines and shouted: "Beautiful!"
Joining Schurrle and He Lijun in shouting loudly were more than 5w spectators who came to watch the game today.
In the last home game against North Jing Guoan, the number of home spectators of the Longteng team reached the highest in the club's history - 53218, although the Longteng team lost the game, but the fans did not blame the team too much, after all, Pato's injury is unpredictable, everyone knows that the team's loss is very large, it is really a disaster, so after the game, many fans sent letters and calls to inquire about Pato's injury, but showed enough understanding of the team's failure.
After the defeat in the last game, the Longteng team fell to the second place in the league, and the fans are also eager to hope that the team will win as soon as possible to return to the top of the table, and this time the face is both the top team, and the Chinese Super League overlord Guangzhou Evergrande game gave the fans enough stimulation, compared to the last game, this game fans came more, the underground and ground parking lot outside the Jiangcheng Sports Center has long been full, many vehicles even parked on the road one or two kilometers away from the stadium, causing serious traffic jams, Jiangcheng City Government also sent a large number of police to maintain orderγ
In the end, the number of spectators given by the stadium management confirmed the popularity of this game - 55,967, which is more than the number of people who watched the last game, and has long exceeded the 80% of the number of attendees stipulated by the Chinese Super League.
The cheers of more than 50,000 fans could be heard from miles away in the stadium. This time, the Longteng Club also issued more than 1,000 tickets to the fans of Guangzhou Evergrande, as the top fan group in China, the fans of Guangzhou Evergrande are still very powerful, they did not waste any tickets, all of them are round.
After nearly a year of cultivating fan culture, the fans of the Longteng team also showed their power, and they relied on their absolute advantage to firmly suppress the fans of Guangzhou Evergrande throughout the game.
After Ben Alpha's goal, the fans including Guangzhou Evergrande fans also had to marvel at Ben Alpha's goal, which reflected the cheers of the Longteng team fans with super high decibels.
As the DJ of the stadium, Lu Fei also tried his best to mobilize the atmosphere of the fans, after Ben Alpha scored, Lu Fei shouted loudly: "The goal of ~~ is ~~~", and in response to him was the chanting of more than 50,000 fans in the stadium: "Ben~~~ Alpha !!".
Lu Fei shouted three times in a row, each time the tone was higher than the first, and the fans did not disappoint him, and the voice shouted was also higher and higher again, and when it came to the third time, it was accompanied by rhythmic applause and drumming, which made the atmosphere of the whole stadium reach the climax!
Also moved by this ball are the commentators in charge of the commentary, such as Duan Xuan, who came up with a commentary method that he rarely uses: "Ben. Alpha's breakthrough!ah~~!Break through into the penalty area again, he hit the goal, beautiful, ah!GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
As a domestic commentator, everyone rarely uses Western-style commentaries like gool to express their emotions, except for those international game broadcasts that are occasionally used, this time Duan Xuan completely released his passion and shouted out with this international word.
Tao Wei also shook his head and said with a smile: "This kind of goal is really the performance of a talented star, Ben Alpha is worthy of his own long-standing reputation, whether it is a beautiful breakthrough before the goal, or the courage of the shot, the angle of the shot, the strength is too good, in the Chinese Super League to see such a goal, it is really a kind of luck." β
Duan Xuan, who was relieved at this time, also said: "Of course, Ben Alfa's ability has never been questioned, even in one of the world's top leagues like the Premier League, he is also a player that every team must be careful and cautious." Aside from his messy personality and right and wrong, he is definitely the most talented player in football. β
Tao Wei also calmed down at this time, and he began to analyze the causes and consequences of this goal: "In addition to Ben Alfa's personal ability, I think this goal can also be regarded as a victory for Coach Zhang Sheng's tactics. β
Hearing Tao Wei's words, Duan Xuan also entered the normal commentary mode: "That's true, according to reason, Guangzhou Evergrande's ability on the right side should be stronger than on the left side, and Zhang Linpeng is one of the best right backs in China." Coach Zhang Sheng's tactical arrangement reminds me of the match between France and Italy in the 2000 European Championship final, in which the French team also attacked the right side of Cannavaro, the strongest defense in Italy, and finally scored two goals from the right side. β
Duan Xuan's statement is indeed right. The left side of Guangzhou Evergrande is guarded by the veteran Sun Xiang, as a player who went abroad to stay abroad and is the first Chinese player to participate in the Champions League, whether at home or abroad Sun Xiang's attitude towards the game is still very positive, since joining Evergrande has also helped Evergrande win various championships and made great contributions, his ability is undoubted, but like another veteran of Guangzhou Evergrande Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang's current game state is also declining very fast, and even Guangzhou Evergrande fans jokingly nicknamed "second brother." Sun Xiang became the "real second brother".
Therefore, it is appropriate for Duan Xuan to say that the right side of the Longteng team Zhang Linpeng is stronger than Sun Xiang's left side.
And Duan Xuan's statement that Zhang Sheng's tactics of copying the French team in the 2000 European Championship are indeed not wrong, Zhang Sheng's original intention is to take advantage of Ben Alfa's current physical characteristics of only half of the game, and attack the right side in the first half to break the deadlock.
In that game, Italy had the best defense in Europe, especially Cannavaro on the right side was the vice-captain of the Italian national team, and then he also won the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, he was also the first player in history to win the double Footballer of the Year in the defender position, and the French team at that time did the opposite, attacking his right side all over the field, and finally Wiltord scored; Pire's assist, Trezeguet's goal came from his right side, and these were his only two defensive errors in the game.
Zhang Sheng's tactical arrangement is actually similar to that game.
Lippi, who is also the Italian coach, is obviously well aware of this history, and after seeing Ben Alfa's goal, Lippi decisively ordered the team to let the two midfielders, including Huang Bowen in the front, also come to the right side to help defend at any time.
After kicking off again, Guangzhou Evergrande's right side became extremely crowded, and players from both sides approached this way, making it a bubble for the Longteng team to break through from the right side again.
The end of the first half of the game also made many players have a physical failure, especially Ben Alpha after nearly 20 minutes of strong attack, physical fitness is even more to the end of the crossbow, his attack has become weak.
In the end, neither side was able to score again, and the score was fixed at 1:0.The players of the Dragons entered the dressing room with a relieved expression.
In the dressing room at half-time, Lippi did not blame the players for the first-half deficit, he first comforted the players: "The deficit in the first half was only temporary, just a goal, we will be able to pull it back sooner or later." β
Then Lippi changed the subject: "But we have to continue to stick to our tactics." A player like Ben Alfa can't have that kind of shooting opportunity and shooting luck all the time in a game, as long as we defend the right side, we have a chance to overtake because Ben Alfa is too lonely. β
It should be said that Lippi saw it very accurately, Ben Alfa's goal did have a very big luck component in it, even if he shot Ben Alfa a hundred times in the same position, he didn't necessarily shoot the goal, but Ben Alfa still chose to shoot when he had such a rare opportunity to pass the ball out, reflecting his unique characteristics of playing football, and Guangzhou Evergrande could just take advantage of such an opportunity.
At the same time, Lippi also pointed out another weakness of Ben Alfa: "Actually, Ben Alfa also has a weakness, that is, he is not in the best physical condition at the moment, so he is more likely to be broken off when he is dribbling after his fitness has dropped, and this is our opportunity, and it is best to play their counter-attack while they are attacking." Even if they bring Ben Alpha off, their ability to attack on the left will be greatly reduced, and that's when we can counter-attack. β
In the dressing room on the other side, Zhang Sheng is arranging his own tactics for the players: "In the second half, we still have to continue the first half of the game, but Ben Alfa, if you don't have many chances on the left side, you should give the ball to Ivo or Tao Wentao to move to the right side." β
Ben Alpha seemed a little speechless, maybe he thought he could continue to penetrate the opponent's defense in the second half, but obviously Zhang Sheng already had prestige in his heart, and he didn't dare to disobey Zhang Sheng's arrangement casually, so he could only reluctantly answer: "Okay." β
Zhang Sheng saw that Ben Alpha was a little reluctant, but finally agreed, Zhang Sheng smiled in his heart, but nodded without any expression on his face.
After telling Ben Alpha, Zhang Sheng made special arrangements for Ma Yongli and McGovern: "You two must pay special attention to Elkeson, his running position is very flexible, you must stand firm and don't let him deviate." And in the second half, Evergrande may be replaced by Gilardiruo, who is also a very impactful player, his header is very powerful, and his two-foot shots are more balanced, you try to force him out of the penalty area, his characteristic is that the ability to shoot a little away from the penalty area will drop very much, as long as these two people are prevented, their forward line is not a threat. β
