74. Conflict
On the court at this time, because of Leonardo's goal, the Korean fans in the stands were cheering wildly, and Bai Shengcai also shouted excitedly: "Leonardo, Leonardo has scored." Jeonbuk Hyundai equalized, and under Jeonbuk's long pressure, the Dragons finally made a mistake. Keep playing like this and we'll score. ”
Park Wen-sung took over the topic and said: "Leonardo lost himself here last year, and this year he finally proved his ability, he ...... , hey, there was a conflict on the field, it was Leonardo and Zhang Sheng, the head coach of the Longteng team. ”
It turned out that after scoring the goal, Leonardo deliberately ran to the coach's seat of the Longteng team to celebrate, and Leonardo deliberately made a throat-cutting motion to Zhang Sheng with his hand.
This ill-intentioned exaggeration made the coach's seat of the Longteng team excited, and to be honest, Zhang Sheng didn't expect Leonardo to come over and make such a provocative celebration at all.
Scoring goals on the pitch is a normal thing, Jeonbuk Hyundai and Yongteng are not mortal enemies, and there have been no fierce clashes between the two sides in the past, Leonardo's performance is really incomprehensible.
When Zhang Sheng was still in a state of confusion, He Lijun, as an assistant coach, was the first to rush forward and pushed Leonardo away.
On the football field, when one person starts to move, the scene behind is basically uncontrollable.
Seeing Leonardo being pushed, Jeonbuk Hyundai's players and coaches all came around, first of all, Jin Fujiong rushed over as soon as possible, between He Lijun and Leonardo, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of persuasion, but his hand was stuck on He Lijun's neck.
Jin Fujiong's persuasion did not have any effect, but allowed the players of the Longteng team to find a new target to attack, De Paul, who was closest to the place of the incident, first ran behind Jin Fujiong and slapped him in the back of the head, and then pulled him away, regardless of whether the other party understood or not, and said while pulling back: "Don't fight, don't fight." ”
Jin Fujiong, who was hit in the back of the head, was furious, and reflexively pushed De Paul, who seemed to be hit by a mountain and a sea, and immediately fell to the ground and performed the long-lost Chinese martial arts eighteen rolls on the spot, the painful expression on his face and the screams were simply sad for those who heard it, and those who saw it wept.
De Paul's fall to the ground fueled the emotions of the players on both sides.
The players who were a little restrained just now also joined the battle group, and the two who fought the most fiercely were Tao Wentao and Leonardo.
The current Longteng team wants to talk about who has the deepest feelings for Zhang Sheng, and it can be said that it is Tao Wentao.
The players of the entire Longteng team can say that Zhang Sheng single-handedly saved their football career, but Tao Wentao is different, if there is no Zhang Sheng's appearance, not to mention that he is now playing in the professional league, it is very likely that there will be problems in daily life.
Therefore, in the Longteng team, it is Tao Wentao who listens to Zhang Sheng's words the most, whether it is the substitute at the beginning or the absolute main force now, Tao Wentao is the one who fights the most on the field.
If you just look at ability, as a domestic player, the current Tao Wentao is also the strongest one in the team, except for the group of Liuyang and Nie Jiang.
The outside world also unanimously believes that the reason why Zhang Sheng is willing to let Lin Feng transfer is because there is a more powerful Tao Wentao waiting for the position.
During the break, not only a bunch of domestic clubs hoped to poach Tao Wentao from the Longteng team, but also a large number of foreign clubs were also very concerned about him, and some even directly sent out a request for trial.
However, Tao Wentao never took these temptations seriously, and he also publicly stated through various channels many times: "Unless the coach doesn't want me anymore, even if I have a subsistence allowance, I will play under him." ”
With gratitude to Zhang Sheng, when Tao Wentao saw Leonardo actually provoke Zhang Sheng with such an action as cutting his throat, his anger was conceivable.
After He Lijun pushed Leonardo away, Tao Wentao immediately grabbed Leonardo, who was still stumbling, by the throat, and the hideous expression on his face was as if he wanted to kill the other party.
Tao Wentao's expression really scared Leonardo and the other Jeonbuk players, Leonardo stepped back one by one, and the other players went to break Tao Wentao's hand to prevent something from really happening.
After Tao Wentao and Leonardo were separated, the chaos on the field gradually subsided with the efforts of the referee, the linesman and the fourth official.
Then it's time for the referee to present the award.
First of all, He Lijun, the assistant coach of the Longteng team, who was the first to do it, was sent off the field with a red card, and then Jin Fujiong got a yellow card; under the reminder of the fourth official and the assistant referee, Leonardo, the initiator of the conflict, was directly sent off for uncivilized gestures on the field, and finally Tao Wentao also got a ruby card for violent actions.
In the end, the clash ended with two red cards and one yellow card, which was greeted by unsatisfactory boos from Chinese and Korean fans in the stands.
As for the commentators on both sides, of course, they are all players who defend their own side, He Wei said: "Leonardo's action is very unfriendly. After the game, the Longteng team will definitely file for arbitration, and additional penalties are certain. On the contrary, Kim Fujiong escaped with a 100% red card for a foul on De Paul. ”
Bai Shengcai had a different opinion: "Coach Zhang Sheng kept pestering the referee just now, and they all entered the field, according to the rules, this should be a violation, and the referee is merciful." As for No. 7 (Tao Wentao) on the opposite side, the action is too hurtful, and additional punishment is indispensable. ”
Historically, Jeonbuk Hyundai in the AFC Champions League quarter-finals against Shanghai SIPG, the score of 5:0 not only humiliated the SIPG team, but Leonardo's throat-cutting action also happened.
At the post-match press conference, when the Chinese reporter interviewed Jeonbuk Hyundai, Leonardo's "CHINESE SHUT UP (Chinese, shut up!)" in front of the Chinese reporter raised the level to the country and race.
This is also in Asia, where racial discrimination is not very serious, and if something like this happens in Europe or North and South America – there are statements such as "Shut up the Germans", "Shut up the British" or "Shut up the French" – the continental football federations will ban him from the tournament and beg for mercy.
Leonardo's discrimination against China and the Chinese has been consistent. Later, when he helped Jeonbuk Hyundai win the AFC Champions League and left the K League after becoming famous, it was not that there were no clubs in the Chinese Super League who licked his face to contact him and invited him to play football with a high salary. Someone else said, "I can't go to that country to play." The buyer was completely rejected.
It can be said that the general contempt for Chinese in South Korea (the people are very unfriendly to Chinese, the author has personally experienced) may have had a very bad impact on Leonardo, and his low football moral standards are also revealed.
But no matter what the reasons behind it are and how the two sides look at it, the game is still back on track on the surface, but each has one less key player, and the mentality of the players is not very stable, and the excitement of the game is greatly reduced than before.
Tao Wentao went down, Jeonbuk Hyundai's midfield advantage became obvious, and Leonardo was sent off, Jeonbuk Hyundai's forward threat was much less, and the back three of the Longteng team seemed redundant.
After observing the situation on the field, Zhang Sheng quickly made his first personnel adjustment, Yan Xiaoyu replaced Liming, and simply played double central defenders, and at the same time strengthened the technical content of the midfield, allowing Yan Xiaoyu to dispatch the midfielder.
After Yan Xiaoyu came on the field, Nie Jiang finally didn't have to go back so deep to get in touch with the midfield, although Yan Xiaoyu was short but his flexible body kept shuttling in the midfield, Jeonbuk Hyundai made a few fouls against him, so that the referee who was afraid of another conflict decisively blew the foul.
At this time, Yan Xiaoyu has the advantage of a good free kick to play, he played three consecutive free kicks in less than ten minutes are of extremely high quality, fortunately, Jeonbuk Hyundai side Kwon Soon Tae as a strong contender for South Korea's national goal, the technology on the goal line is very strong, he three consecutive saves Yan Xiaoyu's free kicks are denied.
Even if these three free kicks did not bring goals for the Longteng team, it still scared Jeonbuk Hyundai's side.
Cui Kangxi, who originally wanted to solve the problem of attacking the front, gritted his teeth and simply played out his last two substitution cards at one time, Lin Zongyin replaced the pure defensive back player Zhang Yunho, the former as a defender Cui Zhechun changed from the position of defender to the back, and at the same time Edu replaced Ricardo Lopes to continue to ensure the impact on the front line.
Choi Kang-hee's idea was good, but the rest of the game proved to be overly optimistic.
In the thirty-seventh minute of the second half, Jin Xinyu obviously couldn't run and couldn't jump, Jin Fujiong made a very threatening pass on the left side of the ribs, the former didn't catch the ball at all, and the football went directly to the small penalty area for Huang Dawei to bend down and pick it up, and then Huang Dawei threw the ball with a strong hand and found Qi Ming directly.
When Qi Ming received the ball, because both sides were ten people fighting, the stadium seemed particularly empty, and when Zhao Xinghuan ran over to fill the position, Qi Ming's ball had already been passed out, and De Paul, who received the ball, completely broke through Jeonbuk's right side defense with a high-speed plug all the way.
In order to stop De Paul's attack, Jeonbuk Hyundai paid a yellow card after Lee Jae-seong brought down the former, which also means that Lee Jae-seong has accumulated two yellow cards and will miss the next leg.
From this Jeonbuk Hyundai's offensive mistake to foul cards, the consequences of the crazy run in the first half appeared - the players' physical fitness was clearly not enough.
He Wei saw it more clearly as a bystander: "Jeonbuk Hyundai's front and back fields are a little disjointed, and there is a large open field in the middle just now. ”
"Jeonbuk has an obvious fitness problem. Xu Yang pointed out the reason for the disconnect between the opponent's front and back courts, "In the first half and the beginning of the second half, the madness of their running is rare in the AFC Champions League. When Jang Yunho was replaced just now, the statistics showed that his running was almost 10,000 meters, but he only played for a little more than 80 minutes. ”
China's commentators can observe that the two senior commentators on the South Korean side are not eating for nothing, and Park Wencheng is very worried: "Last year's AFC Champions League, the Longteng team relied on ball control, which caused us to run too much, and the physical fitness in the later stage could not keep up, and now they rely on confrontation and running to make us have problems in physical fitness again." This is not a good sign. ”
"Tactics. Bai Shengcai clearly aimed the finger at Cui Kangxi, "It's that the tactics are targeted." Last year it can be said that the enemy was underestimated, but this year? It is always a center tactic, and it is too easy for the opponent to see through. In the next World Preliminary Tournament, I have been very worried, also because Stillik (the coach of the South Korean national team) is not clear about his tactics, and if the Chinese national team copies this tactic of the Longteng team, it will be difficult to predict the outcome or defeat. ”
Lee Jae-seong's yellow card hit Choi Kang-hee very hard, Jeonbuk Hyundai is obviously lacking in stamina, if he continues the previous crazy running tactics, in addition to the poor execution effect, it is very likely to be worn by the Longteng team as soon as he counterattacks.
The score of 1:1 is not too bad a result, but Cui Kangxi is absolutely unwilling in his heart, he has made so many preparations before the game, and the opponent's two strong foreign aides have left the team, if they can't win at home, then how to face it when they get away, lie down and be hammered?
However, the slightly heavy pace of his disciples on the field reminded Cui Kangxi to make a decision quickly.
Cui Kangxi, who was already famous for his black face in the game command, seemed to have a darker face at this time, and he made a two-way downward action on the field - let's seek stability first.
Seeing Cui Kangxi's correspondence, Zhang Sheng laughed silently, the opponent is from the heart, he must put pressure on them again, even if he can't score a goal, give them more psychological pressure, which will leave the opponent with a deep impression in his heart that the Longteng team is stronger than them, and after several accumulations of such games, the Longteng team will gain a much stronger psychological advantage than the opponent.
In the forty-first minute of the second half, Qi Ming was replaced by Zeng Fanfang, a player with a balanced offense and defense was replaced by a player with a strong offense and weak defense, and in the last minutes of the game, the intention was obvious - I want to press you to attack.
After Zeng Fanxing, who has a very ornamental technique at his feet, came on the field, he was indeed a great threat to the opponent with insufficient physical fitness, and Li Zaicheng, who was carrying a yellow card, did not dare to move too much in the face of Zeng Fanxing, and was tricked by the latter with a humiliating heel crotch pass, if he was not afraid of being sent off with a red card, Li Zaicheng would have elbowed on the spot.
The siege of Jeonbuk Hyundai by the Yongteng team left the Korean fans in the stands speechless, while the Chinese fans sang and danced, even if the Longteng team did not take the lead, this did not prevent them from showing humiliation to their opponents.
Baek Sung-jae and Park Wen-sung also began to protest silently, as if they were not in charge of the explanation.
At this time, Jeonbuk Hyundai, from the coach to the players, wanted the game to end immediately, while the South Korean side, from the fans to the commentators, was eager for the players on the field to die on the spot.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, although the score was fixed at 1:1, there was a stark contrast between the smiling Longteng players and the Jeonbuk Hyundai players who hurried back to the locker room with their heads down.
Jeonbuk Hyundai will definitely have a hard time after the race.
