Villas-Boas knows the team is on the back foot at the moment, but he still chose to trust the two super-foreign players for a deep reason: the team's poor away results.

Except for the first game of the AFC Champions League in Seoul, the rest of the away games (three league games + two AFC Champions League games) SIPG only achieved 2 draws and 3 losses, especially the away draw with Kwon Jian and Contemporary Lifan, the team only scored two goals and scored two points in the case of absolute dominance in possession and number of passes. So in the fourth away game of the league against the Dragons, Boas began to use a more simple and direct way to burn the fire into the heart of the opponent.

And it is foreign aid that can make a difference.

Seeing that Hulk and Oscar alone could not penetrate the defense of the Dragons, Boas chose to take the risk, that is, to put Akhmedov's premise, U23 teenager Zhang Huachen to play as a single back.

Akhmedov's premise, his offensive attributes were unleashed at once.

In the fifteenth minute of the first half, when Hulk and Oscar attracted most of the Longteng players, Akhmedov suddenly picked up speed in the front, and his pass found Wu Lei on the left.

Compared with Hulk and Oscar who were being marked, the unguarded Akhmedov's passing strength this time was just right, coupled with Wu Lei's top level when he received the ball and started, the Longteng team failed to make an offside position, so that Wu Lei formed a single knife.

Wu Lei single-handedly, and Akhmedov's straight plug completely penetrated the defense of the Longteng team. Lou Yicheng was also excited, "Huang Dawei attacked, and Liming was desperately defending himself." Wu Lei's push, oops, was blocked by Huang Dawei, and SIPG got a corner. ”

"Osborne sent the ball, header, it went high! It was Akhmedov again, and Coach Boas still played a role in this game. Liu Yue gave the Uzbek player a thumbs up, "In the previous match between the Chinese team and the Uzbek national team, he was also the biggest threat. ”

"There's a problem with the defense on the Dragons' side. In the face of the replay of Shanghai SIPG's attack just now, Lou Yicheng analyzed, "The moment Akhmedov passed the ball, Liming dragged behind, did not follow the overall premise of the defensive line, and was seized by Wu Lei, of course, Wu Lei received the ball and started this absolutely world-class." ”

"Dawn is indeed a hidden danger in the back line of the Dragons. His physical fitness, bounce and so on are absolutely first-class in Asia, and even against European and American players, he is five or five, but intermittent dislocation is a problem that must be improved. "Liu Yue's vision is very poisonous, and his research on the Dragon Teng team is also very in-depth, and he can be said to have the advantages and disadvantages of Liming at his fingertips.

Liming, who realized that he had made a mistake, stretched out his hand to his teammates embarrassedly, indicating that it was his own pot just now.

Akhmedov's premise is a reminder to the Longteng team, that is, not to ignore any foreign aid from SIPG, Boas under Elkeson, and Akhmedov is really not for nothing.

After SIPG's attack, the Longteng team pressed the formation back slightly, reducing the space for SIPG's forwards to sprint, and at the same time, it was also convenient to arrange defensive traps to wait for opportunities to counterattack.

The Dragons' strategic retreat made the game on the field seem a lot more balanced.

In the twenty-second minute of the first half, Akhmedov sent a long pass over the top again, and the preparation of these Dragons was much more sufficient, although Hulk quickly stepped forward, but Huang Dawei's attack was very timely, and before Hulk got the ball, a hungry tiger pounced and pressed the ball under him.

Because Hulk weighed too much, under the action of inertia, he couldn't contain it at once, and his whole body pressed on Huang Dawei's body.

A lump of one or two hundred catties of meat smashed on his body, no one could withstand it, Huang Dawei suddenly screamed.

Hulk's collision immediately caused the entire Jiangcheng Sports Center to boo.

Lu Zhihui, as the captain, rushed over as soon as possible, and his body resisted Hulk, who had just gotten up, with an angry face, saying that the opposite side deliberately did not accept it, and the action was too dangerous.

Hulk, who had just gotten up, didn't stand firmly, as an international star, he leaned back tactically, sat down on the ground with a butt squat, and then he lay down and covered his face.

"You fell and squatted, it should be a pain in the butt, not a pain in the face, don't pretend, a liar who fakes a fall. Seeing Hulk's performance, Lu Zhihui was even more furious, and he scolded regardless of whether Hulk understood it or not.

Then Lu Zhihui turned around and anxiously looked at Huang Dawei's situation, and beckoned to the sidelines in the hope that the team doctor would enter the field.

Seeing Hulk fall to the ground, the players on SIPG's side did not shrink,

The conflict in the penalty area quickly attracted the referee, who first observed Huang Dawei's situation, saw that Huang Dawei was still covering his head in pain, and hurriedly signaled for the Longteng team doctor to enter the field.

After Li Xiang entered the arena with his assistant, he first judged Huang Dawei's consciousness and waved his hand in front of Huang Dawei: "Can you see clearly?"

"I can see it clearly. Huang Dawei also slowly eased up at this time.

"How many times is this?" asked Li Xiang by reaching out and holding up four fingers and curling up his thumb.

Huang Dawei replied clearly: "Four." ”

Li Xiang also exhaled secretly, carefully checked Huang Dawei's body, and helped him stand up slowly.

Because the football game stipulates that the goalkeeper is injured and the game must be suspended, everyone saw that Huang Dawei had no problem, and they also ran to the sidelines to replenish water, after all, it was already a little hot in Jiangcheng in mid-May.

After the player's injury was resolved, the referee began to resolve the conflict between the two sides, and under the reminder of the linesman, Hulk and Lu Zhihui each received a yellow card.

The referee's decision obviously did not satisfy the fans, and the fans of the Longteng team at home booed wildly, "Black whistle." The sound is endless.

But no matter what, the referee's penalty can no longer be changed, and Lu Zhihui, who is carrying a yellow card, is still very disadvantaged as a central defender.

After kicking off again, the players of the Longteng team exerted their strength, and the intensity of the midfield's confrontation increased by a level, especially Zhang Hao's sweeping ability was more prominent.

In just a few minutes, Zhang Hao and Hulk had three consecutive physical hard encounters, and neither of the two muscular men overwhelmed anyone.

Especially in the thirtieth minute of the first half, Hulk took the ball with his back on the side, Zhang Hao was hard behind him, not giving him a chance to turn around, Hulk seemed clumsy but there was no lack of flexible continuous dribbling at his feet, trying to get rid of Zhang Hao, but the latter was very focused, the center of gravity has been very stable, and Hulk was not allowed to turn around.

In the end, the experienced Hulk played a little trick, and when Zhang Hao stepped forward again, he relaxed his body, and in the eyes of outsiders, he was hit by Zhang Hao and fell to the ground, which is also a common trick used by Hulk in the Chinese Super League - cheating set-pieces.

Zhang Hao, who was made a move, also looked very helpless, in front of an old fox like Hulk, the 25-year-old Zhang Hao was still too young.

In the case of not being able to penetrate the Longteng team's defense, set-pieces have become a good means of scoring, and this time Zhang Hao's foul position is about 345 meters to the left in front of the goal, others may think it is a bit far, but for a terrifying heavy gunner like Hulk, it is definitely a good opportunity.

Hulk also took this opportunity seriously, and after carefully observing the Dragons' wall and stance, he took a few steps back to distance himself from the ball, and pulled up his pants, revealing his terrifying thigh muscles.

"Look at Hulk's muscles, they're so strong. Lou Yicheng sighed, "No wonder his shooting power is so great, it is estimated that he has practiced a lot in the gym." ”

Lou Yicheng was still sighing at Hulk's strength, the latter had already started to run in small steps, and then he rushed up, hit the football with his left foot, the football obviously had a change of direction, and then flew quickly towards the goal of the Longteng team.

Hulk's shot, Huang Dawei pounced, got out of his hand, and the second reaction was very fast and suppressed. Liu Yue raised his voice, "It's worthy of the Hulk, it's more than thirty meters, and it can hit such a powerful shot within the range of the door frame, causing the goalkeeper to get out of his hands, it's too powerful." ”

Shanghai SIPG had several consecutive attacks, and the Longteng team did not lag behind, and in the thirty-sixth minute of the first half, the Longteng team's threatening attack came.

This time, it was the Longteng team that relied on their own offensive cooperation to completely penetrate SIPG's defense.

After Zhang Hao got Lu Zhihui's pass, he knew that he didn't have much ability to move forward, and knocked the ball horizontally to Qi Ming, who came to respond, Qi Ming's ball control ability was much stronger, and after receiving the ball, he quickly handed the ball to Tao Wentao, who was still on his back, Tao Wentao didn't think it was a non-stop return pass.

In this three-man pass, SIPG carried out the pressing of the midfield, and five players including a midfielder and a full-back were involved.

But Qi Ming decisively chose to transfer the ball after receiving the ball, and the direction of his pass was the gap behind the fullback pressing, and Xiang Tiange on the right side was inserting at high speed at this time.

Shanghai SIPG is responsible for guarding the left side of the game this time is the Fu Ring, this is a player who does not lack speed, but no matter what, at the same speed, the player with his back will never be able to catch up with the player who faces him, this time Xiang Tiange threw the Fu Ring who turned around and chased after a position.

Just when SIPG's left central defender He Xi came over to fill in the position, he passed the ball to Tiange.

Xiang Tiange plugged in at high speed, and crossed with his feet. Lou Yicheng sped up his speech, "This pass is a bit big." There was someone at the back point, it was De Paul, the back point was empty, shooting, Yan Shuai made another key save, the ball went out of the bottom line, and the corner kick of the Longteng team. ”

"This time, SIPG is a bit following the rhythm of the Longteng team. Liu Yue analyzed the attack of the Longteng team just now, "The Longteng team concentrated on the right side to attack, and the players from SIPG also followed, but the Longteng team pulled the defense line too much hole." Xin Qi Yan Shuai's state in this game is very hot, otherwise, the score on the field is definitely not 0:0. ”

As Yan Shuai jumped high in the corner kick again and took off the ball, the attack of the Longteng team was completely ended.

There were less than ten minutes left in the first half of the game, but the tempo on the field accelerated again, SIPG relied on the personal ability of three foreign aides and Wu Lei's running raid to contribute two shots, and the Longteng team also got a lot of chances, but unfortunately failed to score.

It wasn't until the fourth official on the sidelines raised the overtime sign that SIPG was fighting away from home after all, and he couldn't compare with the Longteng team physically, so he was slightly relieved.

Taking advantage of the moment of Shanggang Song's breath, the Dragon Teng team launched a Jedi attack.

In order to ensure the draw in the first half, SIPG strategically retreated, and after Tao Wentao received Qi Ming's pass in the midfield, he didn't interfere with it at the first time, allowing him to bring the ball up.

After Tao Wentao took the ball to the 30-meter area, SIPG was nervous again, Akhmedov pulled Tao Wentao's jersey covertly, hoping to slow him down, but Tao Wentao suddenly broke free, the referee was going to blow Akhmedov foul, saw Tao Wentao stumbling forward with the ball, and directly signaled that the offense was advantageous.

Then Tao Wentao came to the front line on the right side of the penalty area. SIPG's players are very familiar with Tao Wentao, knowing that this player is Zhang Sheng's favorite general, and some media have analyzed that Tao Wentao is the closest player to the strength of the Longteng team after Ding Huaiyi stayed in the United States, but he said in interviews several times that he was only playing for Coach Zhang Sheng, and this statement was not over.

But the outside world unanimously believes that Tao Wentao is really one of the best in the Longteng team, his superb skills, good passing, and a good ability to shoot from the periphery of the penalty area, repeatedly helping the Longteng team break the deadlock.

This time Tao Wentao came to this position, another young midfielder Zhang Huachen of SIPG pounced, the left central defender He Yi also pressed forward, and the right central defender Shi Ke also moved to the center of the penalty area to block the angle of Tao Wentao's shot.

And Tao Wentao sent a straight plug at this time, and the position of the delivery was the gap left by Shi Ke after leaving, and Nie Jiang, who turned back from outside the penalty area, quickly ran to this point, this is a great opportunity, because even Yan Shuai is staring at Tao Wentao to prevent him from shooting.

When Nie Jiang rushed into the penalty area to form an unmarked situation, Yan Shuai reacted to block the right side of the goal, but unfortunately Nie Jiang didn't give him a chance, he met the pass, pushed the instep of his foot, and the football quickly drilled into the net.

The Dragons relied on a through ball from the middle to break the deadlock at the end of the first half, and the score became 1:0.

"The Dragons' offense was very efficient. After shouting the goal excitedly, Lou Yicheng praised the goal of the Longteng team, "It is the connection between the midfielder and the striker, the pass is beautiful, the run is timely, and the two sides have too tacit understanding." ”

"Look at this goal and it was done by two players. But the rest of the Dragons team is not easy to run without the ball. Liu Yue analyzed the tactics of the Longteng team, "As early as when Tao Wentao took the ball, Nie Jiang and Chavez were running, the difference is that Chavez ran from outside the penalty area to the penalty area, and then ran from the penalty area to the outside of the penalty area, while Nie Jiang turned back and ran back to the penalty area, Fernandora went to the left side to attract the right back of the Shanghai Port team, and De Paul was on the left side of the penalty area. ”

The running position of these players just attracted the defenders on SIPG's side, creating a channel for Tao Wentao to stuff the ball straight to Nie Jiang. As long as Tao Wentao doesn't make a mistake in passing, and Nie Jiang can run to this position, he will definitely be able to form a threatening shot. The result is a goal. Liu Yue analyzed the situation on the field clearly.
