Zhang Sheng, mentioned by the commentator, was also thinking on the sidelines at this time about how to solve the problems on the field.

On the phone call with Rangnick before the game, Zhang Sheng mentioned that Nie Jiang may go to Europe after the World Preliminaries, which he communicated with the club's management, coaching staff and Nie Jiang himself in advance.

Since Nie Jiang is leaving, how to adjust the Longteng team in the "post-Nie Jiang era" after he leaves, should improve the schedule as early as possible, rather than waiting until the players are gone, and then deal with it in a hurry.

How to use these existing players on the field to change the status quo is the problem that Zhang Sheng is facing now.

Judging from the tactics of Mengtong United, they started 4-2-3-1, but in fact, in the game, it was a very aggressive 4-2-4 formation, the two wings of the midfield were very high, making full use of the gap between the wingers and wingbacks of the Longteng team's 3-5-2 formation, and the forwards and full-backs were parallel to open the defense line that pressed the Longteng team, causing a local numerical advantage in the attacking third zone.

The goal scored by Montona was a testament to the success of that tactic.

In terms of offense, in order to push the defense line out, the Longteng team will inevitably cause the area between the central defender and the back waist to be squeezed excessively, with many people and mixed legs, and a mess, which is also the situation that Meng Tonglian is most willing to see, and at the same time is active and decisive in the counter-robbery, and the Longteng team likes to advance from the midfield, and does not like the habit of big feet and long passes.

Coupled with the continuous campaigns, poor physical fitness, and the decline in the personal ability of the forward players, it can be said that the Longteng team has played so far, and the performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is far less than expected.

Zhang Sheng's adjustment was also done quickly.

Chavez, who was originally the bridgehead of the team's center, was pulled back by Zhang Sheng, but Tang Jin was pushed down to the position of the center, after all, he was 1.85 meters tall and could bear it, and at the same time, the characteristics of the tactical center simply gave up shooting, just make the ball.

Chavez's retreat was very big for the most critical defender in the midfield of Mengtong United, South Korean foreign aid Li Hao.

Meng Tonglian aimed at Lu Yangyang, but after all, Lu Yangyang still had Qu Wenming and Qi Ming by his side to help defend him, and now that the Longteng team was targeting Li Hao, he was completely isolated.

As the game continued, there was another point that also made the Longteng team slowly adapt, and that was the familiarity with the venue.

In addition to being more resolute, it is because they are more familiar with this field, how wide the stadium is, how large the space on the side, what kind of passing footwork should be used for turf and grass seeds, how much passing strength should be watered before the game, and how to master the passing strength, they are familiar with it.

But the game has been played for more than 20 minutes now, and the players of the Longteng team, who are young but experienced in the game, also have a good score.

Seeing that the players were no longer so flustered in the defensive third and the ball was able to hold steady, Zhang Sheng activated the second step, which was to reduce the penetration of the middle, completely pull the side, and at the same time the wingbacks recovered more powerfully, making full use of the midfield space abandoned by Meng Tonglian to carry out the raid.

The change in the tactics of the Dragons soon manifested itself in the attack.

After the two wingbacks retreated to become fullbacks, the attack on the side of the Longteng team became more powerful, and the speed advantage of Ni Kai and Huang He worked.

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, Lu Yangyang swam to the left side to respond, a diagonal pass to the side, and handed the ball to Ni Kai who was inserted.

Du is a Thai and French mixed blood player, in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 have played, but his real strength is not enough to play at this level of play, as a short fullback of just 1.7 meters, he is physically strong, the ability to set the edge is good, but his own defensive level is not up to par, the position, the ball road, the judgment of the first drop point has repeatedly made low-level mistakes, in the Thai Super League, the level of the league is not high, it can not be seen, to the AFC Champions League, his right side has become the direction of most opponents' main attack.

For example, this time is like this, after Ni Kai came to the side, Du was not bad, he came up and stuck to his body very quickly, and almost squeezed Ni Kai, who was half a head taller than him, by his body, fortunately the latter had a teammate's response, Chavez moved over in time, and Ni Kai played a beautiful two-on-one cooperation, Du stood in the middle of the two players of the Longteng team in this defense, and neither side relied on, which can be said to have made the worst choice of position.

When this wall-hitting cooperation is finished, Ni Kai will be completely empty on the side after winning the ball.

"A quick counterattack from the left flank. Shi Qingsheng raised his tone at once, "Ni Kai, Chavez, beautiful two-over-one, Ni Kai passed, Tang entered the middle and rubbed it, Fernando at the back point, pushed! ”

"In the past few minutes, the Longteng team has made adjustments on the field, and the effect is obvious, and the defense and offense have been straightened out at once. Lu Jingming analyzed, "From the perspective of position, the Longteng team has changed from 3-5-2 to 4-1-4-1, or to be more detailed, it is a 4-1-3-1-1 formation, the side is withdrawn, and the threat is coming out." ”

"Sometimes, when the fist is withdrawn, the threat is even greater. Shi Qingsheng replied.

However, the head coach of Mont Tun United, Tawaan Sripan, also has a lot of experience, and as soon as the Dragons played a dangerous attack, he made a change to his team, turning a risky 4-2-4 back to a 4-2-3-1 in attack and defence.

Shi Qingsheng also had to praise Tawaan Sripan: "Mengtong United can have such a result in the AFC Champions League this season, their head coach Tawaan Sripan has contributed a lot, and his strategic and tactical arrangements are very targeted." ”

The retracted Monton-United quickly stabilized their position, and the quick counterattack that the Dragons wanted to see came to an abrupt end after only one hit.

Zhang Sheng was not too surprised by Meng Tonglian's response, the opponent's unconventional tactics at the beginning aimed at the weakness of the Longteng team, and he must have made a lot of follow-up arrangements.

After a few minutes of observation, Zhang Sheng confirmed that the retracted Mengtong United played the most ordinary defensive counterattack tactics, and regardless of the adjustment of the Longteng team from three central defenders to four defenders, he also resolutely played the position of the ribs behind the Longteng team.

If the Longteng team was caught off guard by the tactical advantages of the opening Mengtonglian, then now their way of playing the Longteng team is too familiar, the Chinese Super League team, most of them meet the Longteng team, basically this style of play, the Longteng team has enough ways to deal with it, the only difference is that the team is now one goal behind.

Zhang Sheng calmly made a two-handed downward pressure operation on the field, allowing the team to control the ball, after all, there is still more time.

Corresponding to possession is the pressing tactics, first of all, high pressing: the three forwards control 4-5 opponents (almost the entire opponent's defensive line) - Chavez presses the midfielder and goalkeeper, Tang Jin and Fernando both press the central defenders and full-backs, but the two of them switch positions very frequently, and the midfield covers the middle area, ready to press the opponent's midfield.

Combined with high post pressing, there is a quick chaseback, and once the first wave of pressing is broken, players are asked to chase back immediately and continue to interfere with the opponent until the opponent makes a mistake.

Of course, a team can't always maintain a high pressing state, when the time is right, the Longteng team will also release the opponent out of the point, when the opponent controls the ball to the midfield, the timing of the mid-section interception and pressing is a necessary means.

Once it was found that the patience of the players of Mengtong United was exhausted, they began to run, and they were ready to run up to meet the attack, under the command of Qi Ming, the team immediately switched from zone defense to man-to-man pressing, forcing the players of Mengtong United to fail to pass forward, or even make mistakes in returning passes.

In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, it was a sudden rush by Qu Wenming to force Mengtonglian's midfielder Navano to turn around, and could only pass back, and Navano, who was not accustomed to this high-intensity pressing style of play, made a mistake in passing, and the football actually passed between the two central defenders of Mengtonglian, and Tang Jin, who switched to the middle, quickly inserted and got the ball to break into the penalty area, but unfortunately the football shot too positively, and was held and pressed under the goalkeeper of Mengtonglian.

Lu Jingming shouted regretfully: "Meng Tonglian's backcourt pass error, Tang Jin's single knife, shooting! It's too positive, and the strength is a little smaller, it is estimated that he himself did not expect the other party to make such a mistake, and he is completely unprepared." ”

"The Dragon Teng team still has to seize the opportunity. Shi Qingsheng said, "Now that the Longteng team has the initiative on the field, the efficiency of the offense must be improved." ”

The Dragons are playing well, and Meng Tonglian is not without a solution, and the most effective way to solve the pressing style of play is to pass through the midfield through long passes. But the Dragons' defence is capable of taking this kind of long pass with ease.

Sisko is very strong, but in the eyes of Lu Zhihui and Liming, it is not enough to see at all. They have long been experienced in the Chinese Super League, and they have seen a lot, you must know that Evergrande's Diego Costa, SIPG's Hulk, and Luneng's Pelle are so high that they don't know where to go, and the two central defenders of the Longteng team are still back and forth with them.

The so-called main scorer of the Thai national team on the side of Mongthong United, former La Liga player Dangda, or "Thai Messi" Song Krasin is a traditional Southeast Asian striker - relatively short, poor confrontation ability, advantage of more flexible foot skills, and faster speed. But not to mention those foreign strikers with superior speed in the Chinese Super League, the Longteng team has a Fernando in their own team who claims to be faster than a motorcycle.

In the confrontation within the team, Lu Yangyang used his speed to resist Fernando countless times, and it was impossible for Dangda or Song Krasin to run faster than Lu Yangyang.

At the end of the first half, although the Longteng team failed to recover the score, from the perspective of the situation on the field, Mengtong United knew what level of strength the Longteng team should be in a normal state.

At halftime, Zhang Sheng did not fall behind and criticized the players with a straight face, continuous fighting, the players were too tired, and it was completely understandable that their attention could not keep up for a while.

As Zhang Sheng expected, the second half of the game was basically under the control of the Longteng team, and the only few big-foot counterattacks of Meng Tonglian were frozen, and the players made mistakes again and again under high-intensity pressure, and could only rely on fouls and yellow cards to block the attack of the Longteng team, and in just ten minutes, three yellow cards have been obtained.

Tawaan Sripan was anxious on the sidelines, knowing that if this format continued, there was a high probability that the ball would be conceded, and the player would be sent off and the ball would be conceded.

At this time, the most suitable operation is to make a midfield substitution, but Tawaan Sripan is reluctant to do so. In the second half of the game, I only played for more than ten minutes, and I made a move, what should I do for the next half an hour?

The manager is suffering from gains and losses, and the opportunity for adjustment slips away.

In the eighteenth minute of the second half, Fernando forced the players of Mengtong United on the right side to blindly kick, the football was cut off by the Longteng team who had been prepared, Huang He took the ball all the way along the sideline and went straight to the bottom line at high speed, and then grabbed the ball before Wenma Tan shoveled the ball out of the bottom line, and distributed the ball to Tang Jin, Tang Jin leaned on Qingshan and shook it, and a diagonal instep knocked down the triangle to return the ball to the middle of the penalty area, and Chavez's strong body carried away another central defender Santos to meet the ball and push it, breaking through the door of Mengtong United.

"Montontun's passing was too casual. Shi Qingsheng saw Huang He's counterattack and said, "Huang He is going to go down after taking the ball, he didn't pass it after deducting it, and then he deducted it, Tang Jin came over to answer, this pass, Tang Jin received Huang He's pass, beautiful! In the sixty-third minute, the Longteng team equalized, and it was Chavez who scored, and if the game continues like this, the Longteng team will still score. ”

Lu Jingming was also very satisfied with the performance of the Longteng team in the second half: "The difference in strength between the two sides is very obvious, and Coach Zhang Sheng's adjustment is also very timely. ”

Looking at Chavez who ran to the sidelines to celebrate, Tawaan Sripan was super depressed, and he was so hesitant to change people for a few minutes, and the team lost the ball, which is the same as the radish rotting in the ground, the tooth in the gum, and his girlfriend being pregnant.

It's a pity that the team didn't improve much after kicking off again, and substitutions were still necessary.

Shortly after the Dragons' goal, Montonon replaced Navano, who lacked height and confrontation and had a yellow card, in a clear sign to strengthen the midfield defence.

It can be said that Tawaan Sripan's strategic goal in this game has changed from winning to keeping a draw.

However, most of the time, things turn out to be contrary to what people think.

Zhang Sheng saw Meng Tonglian replace an offensive midfielder with a defensive midfielder, and immediately strengthened the offensive strength, and Cao Jinghao, who had a more balanced attack and defense, replaced Qu Wenming, who was biased towards defense, and taking advantage of his illness to kill him has always been Zhang Sheng's style in the game.
