82. Smooth promotion
When Zhang Sheng applauded the goal easily, He Wei, the commentator, also let out a bad breath: "The Longteng team scored again, and Tao Wentao's goal came." In a defensive situation like Jeonbuk Hyundai, it is only a matter of time before the ball is conceded, and even frequent fouls cannot be stopped. ”
"It's almost over. Xu Yang announced the results of the game in advance.
Xu Yang's words were indeed not wrong. After the last leg of the Longteng team away 0:3, in fact, for the second-leg home-and-away AFC Champions League, Jeonbuk Hyundai has no chance.
And now the Longteng team has a half-time score of 2:0, the control of the initiative in the whole game, and the overall score is 5:0 ahead. Jeonbuk Hyundai's chances of advancing are basically gone.
Sure enough, in the second half, Zhang Sheng made a substitution adjustment, Yu Bo replaced Pato and stood in the position of left midfielder.
For this substitution of the Longteng team, neither He Wei nor Xu Yang raised any objections, and the game has already been determined, and it is a matter of course for the substitute players to increase their experience. Zhang Sheng sent substitutes without opening, which was already very cautious and gave face to the opponent.
With Yu Bo on the field, the tactics of the Longteng team changed again, Nie Jiang went to the center forward position, Ben Alpha went to play on the right side, and the formation changed to a 4-2-3-1 formation.
This formation is a little weaker in the midfield than the previous strikerless formation, but it puts more pressure on Jeonbuk Hyundai on the forward line, because the Dragons have a striker on the opponent's defensive line at all times.
However, there are also weaknesses in this kind of formation, that is, the complexity of the attack in the front court has become lower, and Yu Bo is much weaker than Pato in terms of ability to hold the ball and shoot on goal.
Of course, compared to Pato, Yu Bo's midfield defense is stronger.
Sure enough, after Yu Bo came on the field, the attack of the Longteng team on the left side was a little silent for a while.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng made adjustments, he let Yu Bo defend more actively, liberating Wei Zhimin's assist ability, this kind of wingback and fullback upside down tactics soon made the Longteng team's left attack sharper again.
In the eighth minute of the second half, Yu Bo and Wei Zhimin played a tactic similar to basketball on the left side, Yu Bo used his physical advantage to resist Jeonbuk Hyundai's right winger Han Jiaoyuan and gave way to the attack, while Wei Zhimin accelerated with the ball and rushed out along the sideline.
In the face of Wei Zhimin's impact, Kim Ki-hee was obviously very cautious, he stuck Wei Zhimin to the death, and did not let him have a chance to impact the restricted area.
Wei Zhimin also passed the ball to Tao Wentao very smartly, Tao Wentao did not transfer the ball after taking the ball, but unexpectedly passed the ball back without stopping.
As Wei Zhimin, who has the offensive initiative, is obviously faster than Kim Ki-hee's reaction, he started the moment Tao Wentao passed, and cooperated with Tao Wentao to complete a beautiful two-by-one.
Wei Zhimin, who got rid of Kim Ki-hee's defense, went directly to the bottom of the cross, because he was in a state of no defense, Wei Zhimin's pass was very beautiful, and after bypassing the opponent's central defender, he came directly to the back point.
Nie Jiang, who ran to the back point, greeted the ball with a fish-leaping header, this ball Nie Jiang was very powerful, Jeonbuk Hyundai's goalkeeper Kwon Chun-tae subconsciously blocked it with his hand, and the ball hit his hand and bounced high and took off the bottom line.
Nie Jiang, who missed this goal, covered his head with remorse.
He Wei also said regretfully: "Nie Jiang's header, oops, was saved, but this attack is beautiful." Even if Pato goes down, the Dragons still have the ability to launch beautiful attacks. ”
This header also made Choi Kang-hee make an adjustment, he replaced Han Jiaoyuan with Luis Henrik, obviously he was very dissatisfied with Han Jiaoyuan's defense on the wing just now, this substitution adjustment is to let Luis Henrik play the front midfield, let Lee Geun-ho come to the right side.
Maybe the ball was stimulated by the referee's decision, Xu Yang subconsciously sarcastically said: "Jeonbuk Hyundai replaced a local player and replaced a foreign aid." On the other hand, the Longteng team replaced foreign players and replaced them with local players. In the past, the Korean media often said that the Chinese Super League relied on foreign aid to play games, but now it seems that the situation is the other way around. The Longteng team has two foreign players on the field, and Jeonbuk Hyundai has three foreign players on the field. ”
In the twenty-first minute of the second half, Zhang Sheng made another substitution adjustment, that is, he replaced Ben Alpha with Yao Tian, and the front court of the Longteng team completely became an all-Chinese class.
When Ben Arfa came off the pitch, the home crowd stood up and applauded him.
Seeing this scene, He Wei said: "The fans all stood up and applauded, but Ben Alpha's performance in this game was worthy of this applause. ”
"Ben Alpha did a really good job. But now the front court of the Longteng team's all-Chinese class makes me look forward to it even more. Xu Yang said excitedly.
He Wei maintained a cautious attitude: "It's good that the all-Chinese class is good, but we shouldn't expect too much." Jeonbuk Hyundai on the other side is still very strong, and their players are generally players of the Korean national team, so we can't take it lightly. ”
Sure enough, after Ben Alpha also went down, Jeonbuk Hyundai was suppressed by a very strong defensive line, and Lee Jae-seong played his due role as the hub of the team's offensive and defensive transition.
In the 25th minute of the second half, it was Lee Jae-seong who snatched Yao Tian's ball in the midfield and played a beautiful quick counterattack.
He gave the ball to Leonardo on the left side, who took advantage of the opportunity of the Longteng players to attack, got rid of Xiao Yunfan's defense, cut to the front of the penalty area, and then he paused several times in a row to accelerate the change of direction, so that Xiao Yunfan completely lost his rhythm, and finally Leonardo took advantage of Xiao Yunfan's leakage to shoot decisively, the ball bounced on Lu Zhihui's body, and changed direction.
Huang Dawei had no way to change the direction of the ball like this, and he had completely lost his focus on making a save, so he could only watch the ball fly in the opposite direction.
After the goal, Leonardo swung his fist hard, because of the strong offensive of the Longteng team, he had no chance to perform at all, except for retreating over and over again to help defend, the offense did not reflect the ability of a high-level foreign aid.
It doesn't matter if it's a dribble or an accidental ball, it's a goal.
He Wei also regretted it: "Jeonbuk Hyundai has taken back a city. The Longteng team is a little unlucky, this is a change of direction ball, Huang Dawei's judgment was wrong, it's a pity. ”
"The real reason is that Jeonbuk Hyundai is now able to press it out. Xu Yang said a little sullenly, "The pressure on Jeonbuk's modern defense line in the front court has been reduced a lot. ”
Xu Yang was right, the goal conceded this time was actually reduced by the threat of attacking in the frontcourt, after Yao Tian came up, he hit the position of the middle midfield, squeezing Tao Wentao to the right side.
Before, the combination of Ben Alpha and Xiao Yunfan could overwhelm Leonardo, and now facing the combination of Tao Wentao and Xiao Yunfan, he still has the strength to fight, and this attack is the embodiment of his ability.
However, Zhang Sheng soon made adjustments, he replaced Lin Feng with Xiong Jian, the former focused more on defense, and Xiao Yunfan's assist became stronger.
Such an adjustment allowed Xiao Yunfan to rush to the front with confidence, with Xiong Jian to fill the position, and the right side of the Longteng team was also alive.
He Wei was keenly aware of the change in the tactics of the Longteng team: "Lin Feng was replaced by Xiong Jian. The Longteng team's style of play has also changed from the previous penetration in the middle to flying on both wings, and the attack on the two wings has come alive. ”
However, Xu Yang pointed out Zhang Sheng's real intention of substitution: "The Longteng team has replaced three absolute core players in a row, and it seems that they are preparing for the game with Guangzhou Evergrande three days later." ”
The Longteng team, who completed the substitution, once again put a lot of pressure on Jeonbuk Hyundai's two wings, and at the same time, Jeonbuk's side also encountered another bottleneck - their lack of fitness.
As an away game, Jeonbuk Hyundai just finished a long-distance flight after playing a league three days ago, in the league, because of the recent poor form, they and the second place Suwon Samsung score gap is only five points, and in the last round of the K League they faced the strong Seoul FC, although the score was 3:0 to win, but the starter was the main force.
In this game, because of the lack of skills and tactics, they had to rely on crazy running to make up for the disadvantage on the field, and now the lack of physical fitness is very serious in about 75 minutes of the game.
Seeing this situation, Cui Kangxi replaced Cui Zhechun with foreign aid center Ulco Bella, the next midfielder, the last center, which is clear to strengthen the attack.
However, this substitution did not have much effect, the last game has been taught Urco Bella, the high school striker ability of the Longteng team central defender performance is very good, Jeonbuk Hyundai's conscious 45-degree oblique tactics were destroyed by Lu Zhihui's strong header ability, at the same time, the two wings Tao Wentao and Yu Bo's return defense ability is also very strong, coupled with Xiong Jian's strong running and filling ability, Jeonbuk Hyundai has not many opportunities to go down, and the effect of Choi Kang-hee on Urco Bella is greatly reduced.
On the contrary, the Longteng team took advantage of Jeonbuk Hyundai's pressure to attack and played several beautiful counterattacks in a row.
In the 34th minute of the second half, Wei Zhimin, who assisted on the left side, passed the ball to Xiong Jian, who passed to Yao Tian with a beautiful heel, Yao Tian received Xiong Jian's pass, and after receiving Xiong Jian's pass, he turned around unexpectedly and shook Li Zaicheng's defense, and then divided the ball to the left side.
Yao Tian, who followed up, grabbed the second point, he shot directly in front of the penalty area, this shot was very beautiful, after continuously bypassing a number of Jeonbuk Hyundai defenders, straight to the bottom left corner of the goal, fortunately Wilkinson was in a good position, he made up for it at the left post and kicked the ball out of the sideline.
In the 38th minute of the second half, it was Xiao Yunfan on the right who played his power, after Tao Wentao and Xiong Jian teamed up to grab Leonardo's forehead ball, the former passed the ball to Xiao Yunfan who assisted, Xiao Yunfan used his faster speed and better physical fitness to break Jeonbuk Hyundai's right wingback veteran 31-year-old Park Jae-won, and then brought it all the way into the penalty area along the bottom line.
After Xiao Yunfan's inverted triangle return pass found Nie Jiang in the center of the penalty area, the latter shook the two defenders of Jeonbuk Hyundai with a beautiful fake shot after receiving the ball, and also let Jeonbuk Hyundai's goalkeeper Kwon Chun Tae also subconsciously fall to the ground to save, and then his push was already down Kwon Chun Tae with his feet out of the bottom line, Jeonbuk Hyundai dodged again.
Seeing the continuous attack of the Longteng team, He Wei said happily: "Don't look at the all-Chinese class in front of us now, their offense is really good, but it's a pity that both opportunities were wasted." ”
Xu Yang is also very satisfied with the performance of the Longteng team: "This shows that our domestic local players have also risen in the ball, in front of the players who are also the South Korean national team, they play very confidently, and the training of domestic players in the Chinese Super League has really reflected the effect." ”
Jeonbuk Hyundai head coach Choi Kang-hee on the sidelines was clearly not happy with his performance on the pitch, and he made another unexpected substitution, replacing full-back Park Jae-won with substitute striker Kim Dong-chan, and the team also changed from 4-1-4-1 to 3-1-5-1, this 3-6-1 derivative formation is completely for the sake of fighting.
Kim Dong-chan's presence did make a difference, the 1.68-meter-tall player was very fast, and in the final stages of the game, his speed played a very big role.
In the second minute of stoppage time, Jeonbuk Hyundai did not make a long pass to Urko Bella, a high school striker in the penalty area, but hoisted the ball to the left, Kim Dongchan used his speed to fight past Xiao Yunfan, and then found Urco Vela with a low cross, whose header was knocked out of the bottom line by Hwang Dawei's single punch.
Then Jeonbuk Hyundai's corner kick was hit by Huang Dawei in front of the penalty area with both fists, Lee Jae-seong picked up an opportunity this time, he shot straight to the upper right corner of the Longteng team's goal without stopping, Huang Dawei was powerless against such a fairy ball, Jeonbuk Hyundai pulled the score to 2-2.
It should be said that Choi Kang-hee still showed his ability and courage and avoided the result of his team being double-killed.
Zhang Sheng was a little dissatisfied with the goal conceded, because the players were obviously a little careless in the final stage of the game, and the results that had already advanced and the leading score made the players relax their vigilance.
Seeing Zhang Sheng shouting at the players a little angrily on the field, He Wei also said with a little regret: "It's a pity, although this lost goal is Li Zaicheng's fairy ball, but he was given such a shooting opportunity in front of the penalty area, which should not be." ”
Jeonbuk Hyundai wanted to overtake the score again after the goal, but time was running out, and the game was over when the referee reluctantly added another minute after four minutes of stoppage time.
In the end, the Longteng team was forced to draw by the opponent at their home stadium because of their bad luck.
