73. Equalized

Cui Kangxi's change of tactics is also very direct, that is, to let the two foreign aid forwards go to the middle, with Li Tongguo as the core bridgehead, around him, trying to form a trident in the front, and directly penetrate the middle of the Longteng team.

For Cui Kangxi's change, Zhang Sheng couldn't ask for it.

Li Tongguo is experienced as a veteran, and he is cunning in standing, running, making balls and responding like an old fox who has lived for 900 years, but he is still old after all.

The first half of the game has been played for nearly 40 minutes now, and the Jeonbuk players who were aiming for victory before the game can be described as crazy running, and many players are now running more than 5,000 meters.

It's okay for other players to run more when they are young, but Li Tongguo can't do it, in the confrontation with Du Zhenyu and Liming, he is obviously not energetic, and when he passes the ball to him several times in a row, he is either destroyed by the opponent from behind, or he can't run out of position at all.

In the forty-fourth minute of the first half, the continuous scramble for the ball failed, and Li Tongguo, who was a little annoyed and angry, jumped up and waved his palm in the air when he was fighting with Liming, and threw it on Liming's face.

This header Dawn has a very big physical advantage, he jumps higher than Li Tongguo, and is stronger than Li Tongguo, Li Tongguo has been completely squeezed out of the air in the air, and the backward movement of his arm is an additional action outside the confrontation.

After grabbing the header, Liming covered his nose and squatted down, and when the referee stopped the game, he found that Liming had a long nosebleed, and hurriedly asked him to go to the sidelines to deal with it, and at the same time warned Li Tongguo to be careful with his movements.

The injury incident made the players of Jeonbuk Hyundai, who had been holding their breath to equalize, also let off this breath, and when Dawn returned to the field and the referee gave another three minutes of stoppage time, the Longteng team still led the first half with a score of 0:1 on the road.

At half-time, the commentators of the two countries summed up the first half of the game, while the managers of both sides were thinking about how to deal with the second half.

'In the first half we had chances in attack but it didn't work out and I think that's the responsibility of the strikers. Bai Shengcai directly put forward his own point of view, and pointed the finger at Li Tongguo, "Now we still have the highest annual salary player in China (referring to Kim Shinyu) on the bench, and the third-paid player (referring to Edu) among foreign aids." Their impact is what we desperately need right now. โ€

As a fan of Lee Tong-guk, even if Park Wen-sung had to agree with Bai Shengcai's statement, he still made an excuse for Lee Tong-guk: "During this time, Jeonbuk's competition schedule is too tight, and Lee Tong-kun still has problems physically. I guess he's supposed to be substituted in the second half. โ€

Like the South Korean commentators, the Chinese side also questioned Jeonbuk's forward line, but they also offered their own views on Choi Kang-hee's tactics.

"In the first half, Jeonbuk didn't score with such a running and fighting intensity, but fell behind. They will certainly have a change of tactics in the second half. Jeonbuk claims to be a team with two lineups, and there are many good players on the bench. We had to be vigilant in the second half. He Wei looked at the score of 1:0 very cautiously.

"I'm more confident in the control of the Dragons. Xu Yang is more optimistic, "Jeonbuk is sure to make adjustments on the front line." But the Dragons did a successful job of cutting Jeonbuk's midfield and forward line in the first half. The Dragons have a lot of experience dealing with such situations. โ€

The commentators all saw the problem, and of course Cui Kangxi saw it.

Choi Kang-hee, who has always enjoyed the culture of his predecessors in Korea, is very disgusted with this matter at this time.

Li Tongguo, as the team's veteran, and has a good relationship with the consortium boss behind the club, even if Kim Shinyu was introduced this season and Edu was recalled, Choi Kang-hee still gave Lee Tongguo a lot of opportunities.

Before the game, Lee Tong-kook strongly demanded to play, vowing to clear his way away from being sprayed by the media after last year's AFC Champions League fiasco, as a way to prove that his high salary in the team was not due to nepotism.

However, now, Cui Kangxi can't care about Li Tongguo's face.

"In the second half, Kim Shin-wook you go up, and Lee Tong-guk rests. Choi Kang-hee made this arrangement in the first sentence after the players quieted down.

Li Tongguo glanced up at Cui Kangxi, and stopped talking.

In fact, there is still a meritorious foreign aid like Edu on the bench, but the performance of Li Tongguo, who is also a meritorious player in the first half, made Cui Kangxi very disappointed, and Edu, who was born in 1981, although he has the third highest salary in the team, is also a veritable 35-year-old old player.

Seeing Cui Kangxi take Li Tongguo's knife, all the players were silent.

"It's not the first time we've met the Dragons. Their quality is indeed good, but we can also see their weakness clearly, that is, the weak ability of the central defenders to play the ball. We took advantage of that in the first half and almost scored. Cui Kangxi, who had achieved the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, began to arrange tactics, "In the second half, we will continue to strengthen the pressing of the high position." As the high point of the frontcourt, Kim Shin Wook has two tasks: one is to grab the ball from the set-piece, and the second is more important, which is to make the ball for his teammates, whether it is cut from the wing or assisted from the midfield. โ€

After talking about the offense, Choi Kang-hee's requirements for defense are much simpler: "As for the defense, the first interruption in their counterattack is extremely important, they have a few players who can play fast in the counterattack, we have to show momentum and don't worry about fouls." โ€

Compared with Cui Kangxi, Zhang Sheng is much more comfortable, and the away lead has always been the best situation in the home-and-away system. Regarding Jeonbuk Hyundai's possible substitution, Zhang Sheng also thought about it: "In the second half, they may have changes in the center. Judging by their head coach's tactics, he likes to use high school strikers, so Kim Shin Wook on the Jeonbuk bench is most likely to be replaced. โ€

"For Kim Shin Wook. There are two things to do, the first is to defend the header, and the second is not to give him a comfortable chance to receive the ball, the quality of his first touch will determine the overall offensive rhythm of Jeonbuk. Through countless studies and speculations by assistant coaches, full-time defensive coaches, and full-time video analysts in the coaching team, the arrangements made by Zhang Sheng, who has a clear understanding of the players in Jeonbuk, are also clear.

After the half-time break, the second half of the game between the two sides also came as scheduled.

"Jeonbuk Hyundai's center has made adjustments. The commentators of China and South Korea said almost in unison, "The next thing to see is how the effect is." โ€

In the middle of the commentary, the Jeonbuk Hyundai midfielder directly found Kim Shin Wook with a pass, compared to Lee Tongguo, this time the situation is completely different.

Under the squeeze of dawn, although Jin Xinyu was very uncomfortable holding the ball, after all, the ball was still held, but unfortunately after adjusting his body, Jin Xinyu did not have the opportunity to make the ball to his teammates to form an effective attack, and several points were basically stuck by the players of the Longteng team, and there were even defensive traps in some places.

Modern football has developed to this day, in addition to the changes in various formations, the details of attack and defense are studying and improving with each passing day.

The arrangement of defensive traps is an example of this.

In the early days, defensive traps were more used in anti-offside positions, etc., and later as the pace became faster and faster, especially after the popularity of pass-and-control play, more and more teams used football anti-error technology to create defensive traps.

In the defense, he is close to the body at the first time, blocking but not grabbing to force the opponent in the predetermined direction, so that he can only choose to pass back and pass in the designed direction, which is a very popular tactic now.

The advantage of such a tactic is not to grab at the first time, to ensure the stability of the defense, to use the numerical advantage of two defenses and one to block without rushing to steal, step by step, constantly causing interference and pressure to the offensive players; the second is that when the attacker turns around or other control of the ball is loose, the defender immediately steals, forcing the attacker to gradually retreat from the bottom line or carry out continuous return of the ball; and finally it is to force the opponent to pass the dangerous ball, so that the opponent has a high probability of losing the ball, and creating a counterattack opportunity for the team.

Under the defensive pressure of the Longteng team, Jin Xinyu could only choose the safest way to play - pass the ball back, and Jin Fujiong, who received the ball, was also helpless, although his teammates were running, the opponent's defensive formation was very stable, and he did not have a good chance to pass the ball forward, and Roque Gill on the side of the Longteng team was already pressing, and the sound of the opponent running behind him was also heard - it should be Nie Jiang who wanted to defend from behind.

Consistent, consistent and efficient, this is the impression left by the defensive tactics of the Dragons on all who watched this game.

From this attack, it can be seen that Jeonbuk Hyundai wants to rely on positional offense to penetrate the defense of the Longteng team, but the advantage of this style of play is also obvious, that is, Kim Shin Wook alone attracted the attention of at least two defenders of the Longteng team, and the advantage brought by his body pressed the defense of the Longteng team back, which brought defensive pressure to the Longteng team at the same time, but also weakened the offensive threat of the Longteng team.

"Kim Shin Wook's role after coming on the court is too obvious. He Wei's face was serious, "Ma Yongli must come back to fill the position, but he is also needed for the ball in the backcourt." The Dragons need to figure out how to attack it. โ€

The worries of the Chinese commentators are the good news for the South Korean commentators, and Baek Sung-jae expressed his optimism about the situation on the field: "Now is the plot that Jeonbuk Hyundai should have at home." Press, press, press, and finally the opponent can't hold on and collapse. Jeonbuk Hyundai, who have the best squad in the All-K League, must perform like this. โ€

Kim Shin Wook's performance gave Jeonbuk Hyundai the confidence to equalize, and in the next game, all the players in Jeonbuk played with the spirit of 12 points.

In defense, the steals in the front court are decisive and accurate, and the Longteng team has repeatedly tried to use the opportunity of Jeonbuk to press on the counterattack, but they have been destroyed in time, plus this kind of foul in the front court as long as the action is not big, it is difficult to eat the card, and the efficiency of the defense is maximized by them;

In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Liming finally made a mistake in the defense, and the problem of a weak sense of position in a highly tense state broke out again, when Jin Xinyu ran to his defensive area, Liming actually did not go over to defend in advance, and when Jin Xinyu got the ball, Liming's follow-up defense was already late, and no one was close to Jin Xinyu who had passed the ball out, and the ball was also very beautiful, directly handed over to Ricardo Lopes on the right side, who first made an inward action in the face of the incoming ball, and then suddenly stopped and turned to buckle the ball, and distributed the ball to Cui Zhechun who was inserted at high speed from the side.

Kim Shin Wook's combination with Ricardo Lopes was extremely threatening, attracting most of the attention of the Longteng backline, and when Choi Cheol-soon on the wing received the ball, it could be said that there were no defensive players within a radius of five meters.

This style of play is actually the most conventional tactic of Jeonbuk Hyundai this season, the center striker does it back, the striker shoots when he can shoot, and if he can't shoot, he distributes the ball to the side, and lets the side players get up to find the point in the penalty area.

Thanks to Jeonbuk Hyundai's strong player configuration, their tactics are invincible in the K League, and now in the AFC Champions League, they have finally played an effective role.

When Choi Zhe Chun's ball came out, Kim Shin Wook, Ricardo, Lopez, Leonardo, including Kim Fu Jiong, who was inserted from behind, formed a four-point outflank in the penalty area, these four people have a front and a back, from left to right, the defensive formation of the Longteng team was completely pulled away.

The ball was like a black and white lightning, from right to left across the penalty area, on the line of travel, first made the ball and then turned and ran to the penalty area Ricardo Lรณpez did not reach, then Kim Fujiong's leg stretched slowly, when he reached the point of Kim Shin Yu, he was too tall to control the half-high ball slightly above the ground, but Leonardo at the back point would not miss such an opportunity.

Leonardo, who was agile and slick the ball into the spot, jumped up and fired a volley straight into the ball.

Even if Hwang Dawei made a save, he couldn't stop Leonardo, who was close to the goal, from hitting the ball into the tennis, and Jeonbuk Hyundai took advantage of a mistake by the Dragons to seize the opportunity and equalize.

"Oops. Jeonbuk Hyundai scored, from Leonardo. There was a big hole in the defense of the Longteng team", He Wei looked puzzled, "This is too undeserved, it actually allowed the opponent to form so many attack points in the penalty area, and the overall defensive formation was problematic." โ€

"It really shouldn't. A center forward like Kim Shin-wook is not flexible in the penalty area, close to the body, and the card position is fine. Xu Yang was also very dissatisfied with the goal conceded, and pointed out the problem, "Liming was out of position just now." And ......"

Before Xu Yang's words could be finished, he was interrupted by He Wei, and then he saw He Wei with an angry expression and said, "Leonardo's celebration is a bit excessive. โ€
