63. Victory is in sight

Fifteen minutes after the game reached the second half, Evergrande still did not improve in attack, but Li Xuepeng was once again "bullied" by Nie Jiang and Fernando, and had to pay the price of a yellow card, Evergrande was a little anxious.

After Zheng Zhi received Lin Feng's pass again, he decisively chose to break through with the ball.

If there is no cold and fever, maybe three years younger, Zheng Zhi's choice is no problem, his ability to control the ball at his feet, not to mention breaking through a dragon, at least there is no problem in ensuring that he does not lose the ball.

Zheng Zhi, who is confident in his fitness, wants to do it one last time, and he knows that in a few minutes, Scolari will definitely replace him.

The idea is good, but the reality is another matter.

As soon as he took the ball, Qi Ming's whole person pressed over, and after carrying Qi Ming twice, Zheng Zhi chose to turn around and prepare to change direction, and at the same time protect the ball with his back, De Paul, who had already aimed at Zheng Zhi, quickly leaned over, and blocked the direction in which Zheng Zhi wanted to turn around, and the two sandwiched Zheng Zhibao in the middle.

Then, Qi Ming made a quick kick, and the ball at Zheng Zhi's feet was poked off, and he lost the ball, and it was just past the midfield.

"The Dragons broke the ball in front. Lou Yicheng obviously saw the danger of losing the goal, and the tone was raised, "De Paul got the ball, and the Dragons had a chance to play three in five in the frontcourt." ”

"De, Paul is going to cut inside, Lin Feng didn't tackle this tackle, dangerous, straight pass, Chavez received the ball, inverted triangle passed back, Qi Ming's shot, beautiful, the ball went in!" Lou Yicheng shouted, "The Longteng team took advantage of a counter-robbery in the front court and played a successful counterattack, and Qi Ming seized it this time after wasting a chance in the first half." ”

The goal of the Longteng team made the Longteng fans in the 16 stands celebrate wildly, Chen Jiangfeng didn't care whether there was a camera to shoot himself this time, he hugged his girlfriend after raising his arms and shouting.

It is just a visiting fan in the stands, but it has created an atmosphere in Tianhe Stadium that is not weaker than that of the home fans.

Paulinho, who has been desperately sprinting back to the defense at high speed, has rushed to the penalty area at this time unhappily took the ball out of the net, and drove to the midfield with a big foot, obviously the team lost the ball and made him very unhappy.

"Although Evergrande's loss of the goal is caused by Zheng Zhi with the ball in the backfield, in fact, the fundamental reason is that the team's offense can't play, Zheng Zhi can only take the risk and choose to come by himself, and the Longteng team may be waiting for you. Liu Yue almost said, "Next De Paul's straight stopper, Chavez ran to the penalty area, received the ball and dribbled to the bottom line and carried it back with his body, this is the old routine in the Longteng team's attack, the only difference is that it was Nie Jiang who completed this task before, and now he is stared at by Du Zhenyu very much, and the task of shooting is handed over to Qi Ming." ”

"Qi Ming's forward shot is very much Paulinho's shadow. Lou Yicheng obviously likes this player, "This season, his offensive ability has been slowly developed, and the Longteng team has another means of attacking." It's horrible, this team is still improving. ”

Evergrande is obviously much more sober after conceding the goal, and the score of 2:2 proves that the defense of both sides must be problematic, especially Guangzhou Evergrande, which is fighting at home, they need to reflect more.

Scolari's reaction was quick, and shortly after conceding the goal, only three minutes had passed, Zheng Zhi, whose running had dropped significantly, was replaced, Huang Bowen came on, and after he came up, the formation returned to 4-2-3-1, and Lin Feng returned to the right midfield.

Zheng Zhi's fate can be said to be a watershed moment in this game.

When his physical fitness was still acceptable, Guangzhou Evergrande had a stable ball point in the midfield and enough ball control ability, and now after he went down, Lin Feng took over the job.

For Lin Feng, a player, Evergrande Club is very entangled.

When Lin Feng joined Guangzhou Evergrande, he came with the title of the second youngest footballer in the history of Asian football, and at the age of 21, he spent Evergrande 150 million yuan, which is also the highest transfer fee in the history of the Chinese Super League.

Lin Feng's transfer is generally considered to be the cornerstone of Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield for the next ten years prepared in advance, you know, after this year's U23 policy came out, he has been with Evergrande for more than a year and still meets this policy, because he was born in 1994 and is only 23 years old this year.

Guangzhou Evergrande itself also regards Lin Feng as Zheng Zhi's successor.

The actual result was that after Lin Feng came over, it did not meet expectations.

When Lin Feng was in the Longteng team before, there were several advantages that were particularly obvious, one was a short pass, especially the high accuracy of the pass at a distance of 5-10 meters, the second was that the ability to run and receive the ball was first-class, and finally his offense and defense were more balanced, compared to those technical midfielders, he defended very hard.

But after arriving at Evergrande, Guangzhou Evergrande never played short-distance passing tactics under a compact formation, and his weaknesses were exposed at once, with low accuracy of medium and long-distance passes, and weak dribbling ability, which made him unable to form a rapid advance in the midfield.

Considering that he is only 21 years old, Evergrande also gave him the opportunity to hone his skills, the problem is that he just can't practice these two skills, which makes Evergrande embarrassed.

In addition, Lin Feng has always had a good attitude in the game, the defensive effect of the midfield is okay, and he can occasionally help control the rhythm of the midfield, Guangzhou Evergrande's use of him is like chicken ribs - it is useless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.

In the end, Evergrande Club and fans also knew that this is a system player, and he has the ability, but he needs to play a role in specific tactics.

The same is true of this game, Lin Feng started on the right side, although Evergrande's right attack was not sharp enough, the defense was not bad, once he reached the position of a single back, the attack was improved, and the right side became very dangerous.

Scolari had to change his position on the pitch again.

Huang Bowen, who took over Zheng Zhi's position, is a player who is stronger in attack than in defense, and Scolari is obviously ready to give it a shot.

As soon as he appeared, Huang Bowen showed his desire to attack and offensive ability.

In the twenty-second minute of the second half, Paulinho's forward intervention helped to bring away Qi Ming and Tao Wentao, and then Diego Costa played a basketball-like blocking tactic against him, and Liming in the penalty area hurriedly pushed out to defend Paulinho, and Huang Bowen also stepped forward to meet Paulinho at this time.

Paulinho saw that he couldn't break through head-on, and distributed the ball to Huang Bowen, who handed over an accurate side to Gao Lin on the left side, this overhead pass of more than 20 meters was very accurate, Gao Lin's stop ball was as loud as ever, and even the stop shook off Huang He.

Gao Lin's cross then found Diego Costa in the box, whose header was also forced to make a save by Lu Zhihui, and Evergrande won a corner.

Taking advantage of Evergrande's threatening attack on the field, the DJ on the scene also broadcast the number of fans present at the game: "The number of people watching the game today is 52,341. Thank you for your support. ”

The broadcast of the live DJ caused applause from all the fans in the stands, this number has exceeded all the attendance before this season, and is the second largest number of spectators in the history of Evergrande's home stadium, and the first in history is the 22nd round of the 2013 Chinese Super League, Guangzhou Evergrande's home derby against Guangzhou R&F, which was watched by 56,300 people.

Because of well-known reasons, the state later had strict requirements for security, in principle, only allowed the stadium to be filled at most 80%, speaking of which has exceeded the standard, after all, the number of seats in the celestial body is only 60,000.

"During this time, the ball market of the Chinese Super League is as hot as the weather recently. This battle of Tianwang Mountain should have set a new record for all the games this season. Liu Yue also noticed the number of live DJs.

"Yes. It is related to the competition for the league championship in a season, and it is Paulinho's farewell battle, as long as conditions permit, Evergrande fans will definitely come to watch. Si Shuai was obviously unwilling to settle for a draw, and after Evergrande's substitution, the vitality of the midfield reappeared. "Lou Yicheng, as a neutral commentator, also hopes that the strength of the two sides will be more balanced," Huang Bowen played a key role in the offensive this time, as the initiation point of the second wave. ”

"Huang Bowen has another role on the field, his corner kick kick footwork is the best in the team. The ranking in the Evergrande team is still before Lin Feng. This time he took the corner kick to see if he could make Evergrande a threat in the corner kick. "Liu Yue is obviously very familiar with the tactics within the Evergrande team.

Huang Bo heard the ball and sent it out, and the siege was cleared at dawn. Lou Yicheng stared nervously at the field, "The counterattack of the Longteng team, Evergrande's side is in danger." ”

Liu Yue only said that Huang Bowen's footwork on the corner kick was good, but the problem was that he ignored that Huang Bowen, who was originally a midfielder, was in the back after Paulinho entered the penalty area, once the corner kick was pushed out by the opponent, Evergrande's two backs were out of position.

Evergrande's side arranged for Lin Feng to prepare for the second point of scramble and the organization of the second wave of attacks at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the strength of Liming's header was very large, and his destruction ball directly crossed Lin Feng's head and came to the blank space between Evergrande's midfielder and central defender.

The Longteng team instantly changed from a defensive state to a counterattack, and the five players in the front court formed a 5-on-4 against Evergrande.

Even if the Dragons player who got the first point was not Fernando, who was extremely terrifying, De Paul, who was holding the ball, was not slow to advance.

"De Paul's side went straight to the middle, there were people on the left and right, see what he does. The counterattack of the Longteng team made Lou Yicheng excited, "Nie Jiang was about to reach out for the ball, and De Paul passed it." Nie Jiang handed over to Chavez in the back, Chavez passed, Fernando missed, and it was Huang He who came in, and the right side was completely empty, and it was a single knife. Shot! The goal is in!"

"The counterattack of the Longteng team is too sharp, and the speed of several players in the front court is very fast, and the degree of tacit understanding between each other is also very high. Huang He didn't have the rustiness of the rotation players coming up to play the starter at all, and it can be said that he seamlessly took over Xiang Tiange's position. He also scored his first goal of the season. "Liu Yue is still very happy to see another excellent young player show up, after all, the more such players, the more exciting the Super League game," someone said before that Xiang Tiange's departure, the sharp attack on the right side of the Longteng team will disappear, at least from this strong dialogue, Huang He's performance is not inferior to anyone. ”

At this time, Huang He, who scored the goal, did not have stage fright in the celestial body, and after the goal, he took a sprint and took a stride into the air, crossed the billboard, and rushed to the fan stand of the Longteng Expeditionary Army, waving his fist: "Yah, !!"

Chen Jiangfeng, like all die-hard fans, has taken off the fan version of the Longteng team at this time, holding it in his hand and waving it desperately, in the weather of more than 30 degrees, even if the sweat is pouring down, he completely ignores the throat that has already smoked, and roars desperately, cheering for Huang He, the hero of the goal.

"Now the pressure is on Evergrande's side. Lou Yicheng is also cheering up Evergrande, "There is still nearly half an hour to go, Evergrande still has a chance, it depends on how Si Shuai adjusts." ”

Soon, they saw Scolari's movements, and Feng Xiaoting was replaced by Liu Jian.

Before the game, some media reported that Feng Xiaoting was still having a fever, and he was insisting on playing with illness, which seemed to be true. Liu Yue explained that this was an unconventional substitution operation, "From the counterattack of the Longteng team just now, it can be seen that the speed of Feng Xiaoting's recovery is completely unable to keep up." ”

Evergrande was obviously angered by a goal, and then the players continued to foul on the field, Shaplon showed the ability of an excellent referee at this time, seeing the Evergrande players playing with emotions, his penalty changed the previous loose scale, and showed yellow cards to Paulinho and Diego Costa in a row.

The two yellow cards also calmed down the Evergrande players.

"Shaplon is very lenient with physical confrontations, but very strict with his hands without the ball and out of position. Lou Yicheng praised the referee a few words, "Our domestic referees should learn more from such excellent European referees in the control of the fluency of the game." ”

The commentators were talking about the referee, and Scolari made arrangements on the field, and Yu Hanchao replaced Gao Lin and continued to maintain the impact of the frontcourt.

Tactically, he suddenly became conservative again, after all, the first three goals conceded were related to Paulinho's forward penetration and too high pressure in the formation.

In order to reduce Paulinho's chances of a hole in the front, Scolari had to slow down, and the pace of the game became slow.

Goulart will deliberately slow down when he gets the ball on the wing or on the counter-attack, waiting for Paulinho to plug in, and then Huang Bowen and the back line will follow up.

Deceleration offense and defense to some extent make up for the defensive vacuum in the back, but at the same time give the Longteng team more time to return to defense, so that the Longteng team's defense is completely in position and then positional and strong, except for increasing the difficulty of seesawing, the threat is not great.

Especially in the second half, after Zhang Sheng replaced Qu Wenming, replaced Tao Wentao, removed Huang He, and sent Peng Langjun, the team's defensive ability in the middle was strengthened a lot, and the right side was also a new force against Yu Hanchao, and did not give Evergrande any chance.

Based on the defensive counterattack, the Longteng team has let the game enter its own rhythm with the passage of time in the game, and past experience tells everyone that once it reaches this stage, the Longteng team has won in sight.
