Kawasaki Frontale's change of tactics did give the Dragons a certain amount of trouble, and in the first ten minutes of the second half, the Dragons' defense looked a little flustered.

In the fifth minute of the second half, Kengang Nakamura dangled a shot in the middle, and when the ball came, he passed the ball out without making any stop after touching the ball, so that the defenders of the Longteng team who were waiting for him were a little stunned, and Yu Kobayashi was a clever run and got the opportunity to shoot in the penalty area, because the shot was too positive and was taken by Huang Dawei.

In the twelfth minute, Kengang Nakamura actually stepped forward into the penalty area, but fortunately Qi Ming stuck close, and the former's header was off the bottom line.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Sheng and the members of the coaching staff around him quickly discussed countermeasures, Qi Ming as the back to defend to the end, using physical advantages to crush the 37-year-old veteran, Nakamura Kengang's age is impossible to support him such a high-speed sprint back and forth, he is not the kind of person who can grab points in the penalty area, the main defensive target should be Kobayashi Yu.

As for Oshima Winga, who is in charge of organizing the attack, Neto, who frequently moves forward, and the striker retreats to add Tao Wentao to solve the problem.

After the Longteng team, who made a targeted strategy, solved the attack of Kawasaki Frontale, their own offensive end was powerful.

The two wings of the Dragons, Paul and Fernando, plus the Yellow Crane with strong assist ability, put extremely pressure on the Kawasaki Frontale wing, especially the yellow card Shintaro Cheya, who was in danger under the joint impact of Fernando and Yellow Crane.

In the nineteenth minute of the second half, Tao Wentao intercepted Neto's dribbling, although the latter's counter-robbery on the spot made Tao Wentao's pass a little too big in a hurry, but Fernando bullied that Shintaro Cheya was not as fast as himself, and he had cards on his body, and he didn't dare to fight for a half-goal.

Sure enough, when Fernando touched the ball a little faster, a posture that if you dare to touch me, I dare to roll on the spot more than a dozen times, and let you eat the second card.

The ball was poked away by Fernando first, and then his unguarded cross on the wing was handed to Chavez in the middle, who beat Kawasaki Frontale's central defender Natsuki with a header, and the 1.85-meter-tall Chavez was a head taller than Natsuki Natsuki, who was just 1.8 meters, and was completely two orders of magnitude in terms of bounce and weight, the latter was like a chicken crushed by an eagle, and the wings were not extended, and the consequences were expected.

"Chavez's header, wow. The ball is in!" Seeing this extremely powerful rush, Li Xin also lowered his voice and shouted, "It's so beautiful, the standard center-forward header scores, the Japanese team's height and weakness in the confrontation above the central defenders are too obvious." ”

"Even in the Chinese Super League, Chavez's ability to play in the box and head the ball is top-notch. Dong Lu added, "The lack of strong central defenders has always been the shortcoming of the Japanese team, and the only exception is that Maya Yoshida plays in Europe, and it is too difficult to let Chavez rush like this." ”

The score of 2:0 made Kitaki Tatsu extremely dissatisfied with Shintaro Cheya, and it can be said that his position made Fernando completely burst.

"Kawasaki is going to make a change here. Shintaro Kuraya went down, and on the top was No. 2 No. 2 Tosato Xianghei, a left-wing-back substitution. ”

Dong Lu tacitly began to introduce Li Xin's substitution information: "Indeed. Shintaro Karaya didn't perform well today, and Kawasaki's two goals conceded were directly related to him. Now the 26-year-old Dengli Xianghei is a fast horse on the side. But Li Xin, you know what? He's a Chinese player. ”

"Oh?" Li Xin successfully took the burden, "This is still relatively rare." Chinese players in Japan. ”

"Yes. His father is Japanese, and his mother is a former Chinese immigrant. He's always known for his speed on the wing, and it looks like he's going to be on the bar with Fernando. Dong Lu untied the burden.

Oni Mu Da's idea is good, but sometimes there is a gap in strength and there is no way, and it is certainly good to enjoy the flat speed of Dengli, but the repeated impact of Fernando and Yellow Crane on the side of the Dragon Teng team made him quickly follow in the footsteps of Shintaro Cheya.

In the twenty-fifth minute of the second half, in the face of Fernando's dribbling, Dengli Xiangping had no problem in flexibility and speed, the problem was that his height of 1.68 meters and Fernando of 1.75 meters suffered too much, the latter did not rely on speed, and squeezed the former away by his body, and Dengli Xiangping, who was lifted to the side, turned around and pulled Fernando to the ground.

Fortunately, the referee showed mercy and only gave a verbal warning.

"Fernando's individual abilities are too strong. Li Xin praised.

"The Dragons are a trick that eats all over the world, catching Kawasaki's desperate attack on the left, and the latter is a little too embarrassing. Dong Lu began to prophesy. "I have a feeling that something is going to happen here. ”

Sure enough, just three minutes later, Fernando deliberately looked for a confrontation again, and after the latter was suppressed and got rid of it, he turned around with a tackle behind him, and all the players of the Longteng team stopped doing it.

Fernando fell to the grass holding his calf, in great pain. As the captain, Lu Zhihui hurried over to negotiate.

The referee, who had come first, waved to the sidelines for the team doctor to enter, and then he turned around and gave him a red card, apparently in response to his warnings from a few minutes earlier.

"It's a bad move. Li Xin said, "Fernando was helped down, and the Longteng team is going to make a substitution, and it seems that they can't stick to the game." ”

Fernando's injury made many of Zhang Sheng's arrangements a little disturbed, the team's advantage on the right side could not be left like this, and in the end Zhang Sheng's substitution was very bold, De Paul was transferred from the left to the right, and Ni Kai went on the field to the left side to play a counterattack.

The Kawasaki Frontale side chose to defend to the death, the veteran captain Ken Nakamura just went off the field, and the Japanese New Zealand central defender Mai Xinglong James came on the field, he is also 1.85 meters tall, obviously running to defend Chavez.

The departure of Nakamura Kengang has greatly liberated Qi Ming, he can free up most of his energy to attack, and the aggressiveness of the Longteng midfielder has become much greater, including in set-pieces, and he dares to participate in the attack with confidence.

In the thirty-sixth minute of the second half, the Longteng team won a corner kick, and it was Qi Ming's back-of-the-line rub that gave Nie Jiang the opportunity to shoot at the back point, and Nie Jiang's serpentine running position obviously made Kawasaki's side not expect that by the time his push at the back post was completed, all the reactions were already late.

"Nie Jiang's follow-up shot. It's 3:0. Li Xin smiled all over his face, "Kawasaki Frontale has a difficult game, their midfield's interception strength, and the defensive strength of set-pieces are indeed problematic." ”

"It's still related to the defense on the left side, Taniguchi Shogo came to the left back position from the left central defender, the defensive mentality is still stable, you can give a sideline ball, he chose to kick directly out of the bottom line to a safe world, and sent a corner kick to the Longteng team. Dong Lu sorted out the ins and outs of this goal and made a prediction again, "Kawasaki doesn't make some changes, and there are still more than ten minutes to play." ”

After kicking off again, Kawasaki Frontale's side was also afraid, and the back back Shota Oshima was basically stationed on the left side, resolutely not allowing the Longteng team to play the attack on this side.

Sometimes, though, the momentum is up, and the game is played anyway.

In the forty-first minute of the second half, Nie Jiang scored again, this time it was the Longteng team who selected the ball on the right side and sent it to the left side, the unguarded Ni Kai inserted it at high speed and sent a straight plug into the penalty area, Nie Jiang easily inserted forward and ran successfully, pushed the near corner to win, expanded the score to 4:0, and also completed his hat trick in this game.

"In the two-round match, the Dragons plan to end the battle in one round. Li Xin said with emotion, "The Longteng team seized a weakness on the side of Kawasaki Frontale, and along with this weakness, they poked the opponent out of a big hole, and Kawasaki couldn't block it later." ”

With Zhang Sheng replacing Nie Jiang with Tang Jin and letting him accept the standing applause of the home fans, the game basically entered garbage time, and the deployment of troops on both sides was more about completing the task of substitution step by step.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the scoreboard on the big screen on the stadium was bright red and bright 4:0 to inform everyone that it was a big win.

Another good news after the game made Zhang Sheng's heart that had been hanging a lot of relief - after Fernando's examination, it was found that it was an ordinary knee sprain, and he could recover after a week's rest.

With such a dense schedule, Fernando, who is gradually improving his form, is still important for the team.

Of course, it was Nie Jiang who received the most praise after the game, and the three goals in this game made him the first Chinese Super League player to complete a hat-trick in the AFC Champions League knockout stage, a record that was even completed before all these top foreign players in the Chinese Super League, which can be said to be full of gold.

Nie Jiang's hot state also makes everyone look forward to the World Preliminaries in the near future.

This also made everyone find a certain excuse for the national youth team at the World Youth Championships the day before. In the first round of the game against New Zealand U20, the Chinese national youth U20 obviously lacked skills, 72% to 28% of the possession rate of the whole game, nineteen shots did not score, many fans who watched the game were eager to go up and shoot two feet.

In the end, the Chinese national youth U20 was forced to draw by the New Zealand national youth U200:0.

The fans' messages after the game were all "If Nie Jiang is on the field......"

It's a pity that no matter how thick-skinned the Chinese Football Association is, it can't open its mouth to let the Longteng team give up the AFC Champions League and let Nie Jiang go to the World Youth Championships.

In fact, from Zhang Sheng's point of view, the 97th players who participated in the World Youth Championships this time are worth looking forward to, because they have a large overall base and many opportunities to exercise.

Compared with the "senior brothers and younger brothers", they are the most valued generation of players in Chinese football in recent generations.

In real history, the 95 age group and the 98 age group are the lowest trough of China's youth national brand team. Because, these two teams have just experienced the alternation of the old and new policies (the work of the Chinese Football Association after the resumption of the youth department), and they belong to the transitional team.

Like the 98-year-old group of players, because the Chinese Football Association strictly checks the bone age, and the standards are higher than the regulations of the AFC and FIFA, a large number of school-age players were mistakenly killed. As a result, the available players in this age group are limited.

As for the 95 age group, it is the last group of players before the bone age is strictly checked, and the number is limited because it belongs to the non-Olympic age group.

In comparison, the 97 age group belongs to the age category of the 2017 National Games and the age group of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, so both the local government and the Football Association attach great importance to it.

According to the information Zhang Sheng learned, the number of professional players registered in the Chinese Football Association in this age group is more than 3,000, compared with the media report that there are less than 100 people in the country in the 98 age group, which can be said to be a world of difference.

In fact, the number of people in the age group of 97 who play overseas is more than the number of people who can choose from the age group of 98, of course, thanks to the "Study in Portugal" project of Wei Di, the former director of the Football Management Center, the "Star Fund" project of the Song Qingling Foundation, and the promotion of "staying abroad" by local sports administrative departments.

Now thanks to the emergence of the Longteng team, a large number of 98-year-old buried players have reappeared, plus other players in the 97-year-old group: Lin Liangming, Zhang Yuning, Yang Liyu, who has had many opportunities to play in the Chinese Super League, Hu Jinghang, Huang Zhengyu, Zhang Lingfeng, Guo Quanbo, Huang Zichang, who are extremely optimistic about insiders, and even Guo Tianyu, Shan Huanhuan, Liu Ruofan, who "jumped the grade" in 1999, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, etc.

The only thing that makes head coach Madaloni unhappy is that a large number of players who play in the Chinese Super League cannot be as good as players who are still in the echelon, and the U23 policy hangs in the air, and no team is willing to put a good U23 team to train for a long time to play friendly matches.

So after the 0-0 match against New Zealand, Maddaloni complained: "The time we had to play together was too short, and the cooperation was rather rusty. ”

A bunch of fans are discussing the national youth team's profuse shooting, not cherishing the opportunity, what they don't know is that in the original history, there will be two extremely important rules that will be released by the Chinese Football Association in these two days, causing a great sensation among the fans of the Chinese Super League.

One of them is the U23 rule: from the 2018 season, in the process of participating in the Chinese Super League, the Chinese League and the Chinese Football Association Cup, the U23 domestic players (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) who have played in the whole game must be the same as the number of foreign players who have played in the whole game.

Historically known as 5.24U23 regulation.

Looking back, I think about the moment when the Chinese Football Association issued this rule: the first and second rounds of the World Youth Championship in South Korea have just been played, and it can be said that the good performance of Asian teams at the World Youth Championship has stimulated the upper echelons who have been paying attention to football.

In that timeline, the Chinese national youth team missed the World Youth Championships and was eliminated in the Asian qualifiers early, and did not even enter the knockout stage.

Looking at Japan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other teams have won their own victories, especially South Korea's U20 defeated a top team like Argentina U20 for the first time, which makes everyone's contrast seem particularly large.

However, now because of the emergence of the Longteng team, the national youth team has successfully entered the World Youth Championships, and the results of the youth competition have been good, and this rule has evolved into a policy that at least one U23 player must be maintained on the field at the beginning of this season, which is not overkill.

Fans of this timeline are in luck.
