Sure enough, after the start of the game, the Longteng team's style of play made Kawasaki Frontale completely unexpected, as the leader of Group H in the AFC Champions League group stage, the Longteng team did not use the home advantage to attack as imagined, but forced in the midfield after the Kawasaki team kicked off, and passed in the midfield after grabbing the ball.

For the tactics of the Dragon Teng team, the head coach of the Kawasaki team, Hachihiro Kazama, was confused, after all, the dragon Teng now has the initiative in the group, and they are qualified to attack the opponent at home. But now the Longteng team is very patient and does not take risks to attack.

Of course, Kazama Hachihiro could not have known Zhang Sheng's identity as a traverser, and Zhang Sheng was clear about the second half of the group. After the start of the AFC Champions League, Western Sydney Wanderers were treated as a fish belly team, and the Dragons were also underestimated. But so far almost all the media speculation has only been half right, and now Western Sydney Wanderers are indeed in the bottom of the group with 1 win and 3 losses, as if they are indeed a fish belly team, but the Dragons are in first place with 8 points from 2 wins and 2 draws. This makes the outside world call the Longteng team the biggest dark horse in the East Asian division of the AFC Champions League this season.

But Zhang Sheng, as a traverser, knows the performance of Western Sydney Wanderers, they are the biggest dark horses in the AFC Champions League this season, and they won the AFC Champions League championship in history.

If the Dragons lose this game, if history does not change, the Kawasaki Frontale, who won the last game in history, will have 10 points, so that the Dragons with 8 points will have to beat Western Sydney Wanderers away from home. On the condition that history does not change, Western Sydney Wanderers will definitely win this round, then the Longteng team will have to face them in the final round with very good strength and luck, once the Longteng team loses the game, Western Sydney Wanderers will have 9 points, then the first four games of 2 wins and 2 draws will be meaningless for the Longteng team, and it is very difficult to fly so far to Australia to play away and get points. So this game can be won or drawn, just can't lose.

As long as the Longteng team gets 1 point in this game, no matter what the result of other teams plays in the final round, the Longteng team will have the right to qualify, so ensuring that they do not concede goals is the biggest task of the Longteng team in this game.

Of course, according to this result, Zhang Sheng knows that it is likely that his team and Western Sydney Wanderers will join hands to qualify, so all the media who predicted before the season may be slapped in the face.

Once the two teams that are tactical players with passing and control as their tactical play, once one of them has a conservative point, the game will become very dull, and now the situation on the field is indeed like this, as the commentary of this game, Shao Shengyi also feels very strange: "I don't know what the reason is for this game, and Lin Feng, the organizational core of the midfield, did not send Lin Feng, the organizational core of the midfield, and at the same time, Ding Huaiyi, as one of the sharpest knives in the front court of the Longteng team, did not start this game, I don't know if it was an injury or what the situation is." Yu Bo and Zhang Hao in this game are both players with relatively stronger defensive ability, and Coach Zhang Sheng's arrangement is a bit conservative. ”

As Shao Shengyi's commentary partner, Zhou Ning said more directly: "As the Longteng team participating in the AFC Champions League for the first time, the situation may be too satisfying for them now, I think such a small rich and safe situation is very unacceptable." ”

For the two commentaries who don't know the inside story, Zhang Sheng, who is on the sidelines, can only choose "The baby is bitter, but the baby doesn't say", because no one believes it when he says it, where will anyone be able to see the true state of the players through the system.

However, the fans in the stands did not have any opinion on the start of the Longteng team in this game, as a city without much history of the Chinese Super League, the fans were already surprised that their team could enter the AFC Champions League, and now the Longteng team can rank first in the AFC Champions League group They are even more overjoyed, what reason do they have to blame for such a result, and it is their greatest wish to stand in the stands to cheer for the team.

In the face of the "dull" scene, the fans still responded with loud chanting. Of course, this dullness is different from other Super League teams, how do other Super League teams want to defend, it must be shrinking backfield, and then in the midfield keep using fouls, lying on the grass to keep interrupting the rhythm of the game; 。

Compared to professionals such as football commentators, fans don't care if the players on the field play beautifully, and they don't delve into the deep meaning behind the tactics of the teams on the field. So when the commentator said that the Dragons were conservative, the fans who saw the players on the field with beautiful passes and fallen feet didn't think so.

Compared to the Dragons team, Kawasaki Frontale can be said to be the main force in this game, their team's three old international players Junichi Inamoto, Kenyoshi Nakamura and Yoshito Okubo all played, only Renato was on the bench for this game because of a small injury in the last league.

Kawasaki Frontale, also a pass-and-control team, did not gain much advantage in midfield in this game. Of course, Kawasaki's midfield has no problem with the fluidity of passing and receiving the ball, but Renato's absence does not give them the ability to suddenly accelerate and change the rhythm of the attack, and they can keep passing in the midfield, but they can't get into the Dragons' penalty area.

In the first half, Kawasaki Frontale's few shots came from their long-range shots from the perimeter, and the Longteng team, who had two strong defensive midfielders, Kante and Zhang Hao, made those long-range shots unthreatening. Because once the Kawasaki players are close to the position in front of the penalty area, Zhang Hao or Kante will follow him, so that he can't shoot calmly.

In the face of the defense of the Dragons, the players of the Kawasaki team can only take two ways, either they can barely get up and shoot from a distance under the close defense of the Dragons team, or they will withdraw their positions and shoot from a longer distance, because the Dragons will not particularly prevent them from shooting in the area 30 meters away, but the long-range shots from 30 meters away want to shoot into the goal, and most of the time it depends on luck.

The head coaches of both sides on the sidelines are now in two completely different states, as the Longteng team fighting at home, whether it is the adaptability of the field or the physical condition, the advantage is definitely better than that of the Kawasaki Frontale who is fighting away, so Zhang Sheng looks very leisurely on the field, he sits on the bench and watches the game on the field, while exchanging his views with the assistant coaches Schurrle and He Lijun sitting next door: "Guess when the Kawasaki Frontale side can't help but let their organizational back Junichi Inamoto step forward." ”

Schurrle thought for a moment and said: "In the previous game, Western Sydney Wanderers won an upset away game against Ulsan Hyundai, and now they have six points, two more than Kawasaki Frontale. In this game, Kawasaki Frontale can only win to have a chance to qualify, because they have the same two-legged meeting with Western Sydney Wanderers, the same number of goals, and the away goals are not as many as many parties, if this one does not win us, they will have to fight Ulsan Hyundai in the next game, and the Western Sydney Wanderers who are fighting at home are still very powerful, even if the next Kawasaki Frontale wins, they will not be able to qualify. I think Kawasaki Frontale will start attacking at the end of the first half, and Junichi Inamoto will attack at that time, which seems to be a characteristic of the Japanese team. ”

He Lijun expressed a different opinion: "Don't underestimate the endurance of little Japan, they are still very patient, we showed in the first leg that the team's understanding of the AFC Champions League match is not enough, and many players have physical problems in the final stage of the game." I think Kawasaki Frontale will not attack in the first half to consume physical energy when they come to us away this time, they should continue to consume physical energy with us, and wait until the second half of the second half to attack, and then it is estimated that it will be time for Junichi Inamoto to step forward. ”

Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "I agree with He's opinion, they came from afar, and the physical fitness of several old international players is not very good, it is impossible to have the idea of attacking in the first half, they should replace Renato after 70 minutes, and then let Junichi Inamoto come forward to assist, and then we will have the opportunity to fight them back." Or let's make a bet that whoever guesses wrong will have dinner tomorrow, and if they don't make substitutions after 70 minutes to strengthen the attack, then I'll treat you two to dinner. ”

Hearing that Zhang Sheng limited the time for the other party's substitution, Xu Erle and He Lijun both laughed, it was really difficult to win a bet under such harsh conditions. Schurrle smiled: "Do you just want to invite the two of us to dinner? I know that a few days ago, Wuhan Tiandi opened a new brotzeit German beer restaurant, I have been in China for so long, I haven't eaten German food for a long time, I miss our German beer and pork knuckle, by the way, and sausages, haha, I drool when I think about it, but I heard that the store is very expensive." Don't say I'm not polite then. ”

Zhang Sheng deliberately pouted and said, "You two can't eat me poorly." Besides, it's not necessarily who invites whom. ”

When the coach of the Longteng team was talking and laughing, at the same time on the sidelines of Kazama Yahiro seemed a little uncertain, he came to the sidelines many times, and wanted the players to strengthen the attack, but saw that the Longteng team's defense in the midfield was very tight, and had to give up this idea many times, just let the players control the rhythm of the game more when they got the ball, and use the passing and receiving to consume the physical energy of the Longteng team.

It's a pity that until the end of the first half, the players of the Longteng team played very focused, and it was difficult for the players of the Kawasaki team to have good chances. The unstable situation unique to young players that Kazama Hachihiro has been expecting has not happened, and because the midfield competition is evenly matched, the players of the Dragon Teng team can't see any physical problems at all, Kazama Hachihiro can only wait patiently, standing on the sidelines, he waited until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game and did not give the team an order to press the attack on all fronts.

At half-time, Zhang Sheng made arrangements for the players: "Our opponents must want to get three points in this game, and they were not so active in the first half because they were waiting for an opportunity, that is, when you let your guard down, when your fitness drops. If my guess is correct, after 70 minutes in the second half, they will be replaced by Renato, a breakthrough player up front, and many of you players have already learned the Brazilian's technique at the feet in the last game against them. In addition to breaking through after he came on the field, one of the biggest roles is to break your defensive level and let their midfielder Junichi Inamoto insert assists, but in my opinion, Junichi Inamoto is not their main point of attack, and his biggest role is to hand over the ball to Kenyoshi Nakamura and use Kenyoshi Nakamura's shooting ability to score goals. ”

After saying this, seeing that the players were staring at him intently, Zhang Sheng said his plan: "This is the winner and loser on Kawasaki Frontale's side, and it is estimated that they will be very proud of this move at that time, but I want to say that this may also be their biggest flaw." Once Junichi Inamoto gets forward, they will have one less man in the back, and as long as we can cut off his ball on the field, there will be a big hole in their back midfield. And at that time, Kante!"

Hearing Zhang Sheng's greeting, Kante hurriedly responded: "Here!"

"That's your time to perform," Zhang Sheng then made a punch move, "When the time comes, once you cut off Junichi Inamoto's ball, decisively step forward, and then give the ball to Pato at the right time, let Pato decide whether to shoot or cooperate, and our chance to score will come." It's like we've been doing in previous training. N'Golo Kante, it's time to let everyone know your ability to organise attacks. ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Kante and Pato both nodded hurriedly to show that they understood.

At the same time, in the locker room, there is also Hachihiro Kazama, who is telling Junichi Inamoto: " It seems that the other side is more cautious than we imagined in this game, they have not been in a hurry to attack in the first half, this may be related to the absence of their midfield core Lin Feng, if it is really as they said before the game that Lin Feng is not in good shape and cannot play, then the second half of our second half is the time to attack, Renato, I need you to go on the court to break the opponent's defensive thickness; Inamoto, once you see that Renato has a chance to break through, you must step forward to assist; Oku, you are responsible for opening up the defensive position of their central defender; Nakamura, the final blow will be handed over to you。 ”

Hearing the manager's arrangement, several players named felt a sense of responsibility, and they suddenly promised: "Okay, coach." ”

The coaches on both sides have chosen patience to see who can hold on to their patience to the end. (To be continued.) )
