Not only was the game grand for both clubs, with the general managers of the clubs watching from the stands, but also the head coach of the national team, Lippi, who was apparently also scouting candidates for the national football match in November.

Unlike these people who came to watch the game in the bright light, there were also people who were watching the game secretly.

For example, the head coach of the UAE giants Al Ain Club, who has reached the final of the AFC Champions League in West Asia and defeated the Qatari army 3-1 in the first leg, as a team with a high probability of entering the final, the opponent who came to watch the final in advance is the proper meaning of the question.

In addition, there are also the staff of the Brazilian national team secretly observed in the stands, there are the staff of the Spanish national team - he is here for Diego Costa, there are scouts from European clubs who have been following Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande to record the situation of the players they are interested in - they are observing several foreign players from the two clubs, Nie Jiang, Tao Wentao, Qi Ming, Lin Feng and other members of the Chinese national team, and even some eyes on several players of the Longteng national junior team sitting on the bench, their wonderful performance in the Asian junior championship has attracted the attention of these scouts, if they can have a chance to play today, there will definitely be a report to be submitted.

In the midst of all the attention, Ma Yongli's free-kick was issued.

I don't know why, even though Lu Zhihui was closely guarded by Guangzhou Evergrande's players, the football still came to the top of Lu Zhihui's head, he confidently ran, jumped, and shook his head to attack the goal.

"Lu Zhihui, header! Oh my God. Liu Jiayuan exclaimed, "It's a little higher, Liu Dianzuo didn't react at all." It's still him, it's always him, as long as he faces Guangzhou Evergrande, as long as it's a header from a set-piece, he can't get around him. ”

"This is really a bitter master. Shen Fangjian, as a well-known "I am the best coach in the world" type commentator, quickly turned the topic to tactics, "It can only be said that Lu Zhihui has his own experience in Guangzhou Evergrande's set-piece defensive tactics." Feng Xiaoting and Mei Fang, the latter's header defense is better, but Lu Zhihui specifically looked for Feng Xiaoting, and it is estimated that Guangzhou Hengda will also tell Mei to defend Lu Zhihui before the competition, so Lu Zhihui can use his height as long as he gets rid of Mei Fang....."

Shen Fangjian is still chattering, and Guangzhou Evergrande has already begun to attack.

It is not difficult to see from this attack that Guangzhou Evergrande resolutely played the middle of the advancement, and Paulinho, who returned to Guangzhou Evergrande with the power of the national team's excellent form, was very tough.

The header of the Longteng team just now made Chen Jiangfeng happy at this time to the brother in the dormitory: "Guohua probably knows the Lu team." Chen Jiangfeng introduced to the other two newcomers, "Team Lu." Oh, Lu Zhihui, the captain of the Longteng team, is a veteran of our team, and he is a header thief. B。 ”

As an atypical Brazilian midfielder who is not characterized by breaking through with the ball, Paulinho is strong in his back row, and now the arrival of Diego Costa has given Guangzhou Evergrande a fulcrum in the front court that can really hold the ball and distribute the ball, making the defense of the Longteng side very difficult, especially in the case of pure passive defense.

After Paulinho handed the ball to Goulart, the latter immediately handed the ball to the retreating Diego Costa, who easily leaned on Ma Yongli - the difference in physical fitness between the two is still very big, knocking the ball to Paulinho again, such a Brazilian trio is very clever to cooperate, just forming an attacking triangle between the Longs' midfielders and central defenders.

Then Paulinho split the ball, Lin Feng made a simple transition on the side, and the ball went to Goulart's feet again.

Scolari's tactics can be said to reflect the characteristics of several players, Lin Feng is not good at breaking through with the ball, so let him concentrate on playing the role of tandem transition in the midfield, Goulart's breakthrough ability is strong, so give him space to break through through pulling and transitioning.

So when Goulart received the ball, only Qi Ming was left alone to defend him, and in the face of Goulart, who was holding the ball in front, Qi Ming didn't dare to rush up, he knew how powerful the other party was.

Seeing that Qi Ming did not grab, Goulart took a few steps horizontally, flashed out of the angle and shot, as a master who repeatedly used long-range shots to break the goal, his long-range shooting is characterized by concealed action, and at the same time, the angle selection is tricky, and the strength is also very strong, which shows that the explosiveness of his lower limbs is amazing.

Huang Dawei's attention was very concentrated, and when Gaolat continued to shake in front of Qi Ming, he raised his vigilance to prevent Gaolat's long-range shot.

As a result, the angle of the ball was really tricky enough, and the ball speed was fast, Huang Dawei didn't dare to catch the ball with his hands, and chose to save the ball from the bottom line, and Guangzhou Evergrande also got the first corner kick after the opening.

During the preparation of Guangzhou Evergrande for a corner kick, the Jiangcheng Sports Center resounded with boos, and the fans just hoped that the Evergrande players would be affected by the boos, and it was best for the players who took the corner kicks to directly send the ball out of bounds.

Now Guangzhou Evergrande because of the arrival of Diego Costa, in addition to Paulinho in their penalty area, there is another header, when Goulart's corner kick is issued, Liming followed Paulinho, and Lu Zhihui followed Diego Costa.

"Guangzhou Evergrande's corner. If Lu Zhihui's header on the Longteng team's side is powerful, then Evergrande's Paulinho's header has to be guarded against. Liu Jiayuan introduced the key figures of both sides, "The ball went directly to the middle, Diego Costa, header, beautiful, the ball went in! It was Diego Costa again, it was him again, he scored again." Lu Zhihui didn't keep up. Strong dialogue, Diego Costa shows his edge again!"

"This is Diego Costa's eighth goal in the AFC Champions League and his fourth AFC Champions League game, with an average of two goals per game. It was also his 28th goal in all competitions since arriving at Guangzhou Evergrande, averaging more than two goals per game in 13 games. It's terrifying!" Shen Fangjian listed the data, "The real Shenfeng. ”

After the goal, Diego Costa glanced at Lu Zhihui with a smug face, and when Evergrande was preparing for the game, the coaching staff specifically mentioned the No. 2 player of the Longteng team, saying that he had strong header defense ability, and a header from a set-piece, and now he was casually defeated by himself, and he looked very disdainful.

The whole stadium erupted in louder boos than when a corner kick was served before, and Chen Jiangfeng is now one of them.

"Evergrande scored a goal, this game is just good, the 2:2 draw in the first round allowed the Longteng team to seize the opportunity, they can completely control the ball to play, now it is not good, they must attack. "Liu Jiayuan is also not afraid of big things, "Both teams represent the Chinese Super League, whoever enters the final is the honor of the Chinese Super League, and neutral fans must hope that the game will look better at this time." ”

The commentary is arching the fire, but Zhang Sheng has to think more.

Lu Zhihui's header ability is good, but judging from the situation just now, compared to Diego Costa, his selection and running are inferior.

Before the game, Zhang Sheng asked Lu Zhihui to defend Diego Costa alone in the set-piece, which was obviously a big support, this was Zhang Sheng's own mistake, but he didn't expect that Diego Costa seized the opportunity by this mistake, and the world-class striker really can't afford to provoke it.

Soon Zhang Sheng made arrangements on the field, and the set-pieces Qi Ming and Ma Yongli in the back made up for the two central defenders at any time.

After conceding a goal, the mentality of the Longteng team is still very stable, after all, the team's consecutive victories in the past two years have added a lot of championship temperament to the players, under the command of Zhang Sheng, several players in the midfield have strengthened their running, trying to help defend the side behind, so that they can concentrate on pressing the position.

Ma Yongli as a free man in the backcourt, has become the most critical point of this game, he needs a very smart run to effectively reduce his physical consumption, he needs to keep fighting and filling, and at the same time, the team's backcourt is also his responsibility, that is to say, he must be a smart and skilled man.

After maintaining the balance in the midfield, the tactics of the Longteng team are very similar to the tactics of Diego Costa's previous parent team, Atletico Madrid, that is, through a lot of runs and frequent confrontations to interrupt the opponent's attacking rhythm, and at the same time quickly move through the midfield, hit the opponent's defense, and finally use a good striker to score, which is Atletico Madrid's coach Simeone's forte.

This season, under the leadership of Zhang Sheng, the Longteng team has arranged a lot of pressing and pressing tactics through the careful planning of the coaching staff, strengthened the team's overall movement and confrontation in local positions, and used the team's young players to take advantage of the team's young players, but they are all from the team's youth training, and the tacit understanding is very strong.

Especially in the first half of the season, when Ben Alpha had not yet transferred away, the Longteng team's efficient pressing provided a lot of opportunities for the strikers, and he also scored 11 goals in 10 Chinese Super League games and 5 goals in 7 AFC Champions League games.

During that time, the high-intensity rhythm of the Longteng team shocked the entire Chinese Super League.

In the second half of the season, Ben Alpha's departure still has a very big impact on the attack of the Longteng team, from the data, the number of times the Longteng team scored 30 meters per game has not decreased, and even with the improvement of the player's ability value, the overall strength has become stronger, and the number of times has become more, but the number of goals has not increased.

Although there are more injuries and the main team has been absent for a long time, such as Chavez has been injured for more than a month, the main reason is that Chavez and Nie Jiang are both different from Ben Alpha's shooting skills.

Like this game, after the Longteng team lost the goal, the number of attacks was not a lot, in just ten minutes, the Longteng team got three effective shooting opportunities, in the fourteenth minute, Tao Wentao was on the side to get a breakthrough opportunity, to Chavez sent a single goal, but the latter's shot grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line, wasting a great opportunity.

Although the Longteng team's wave after wave of offensive did not score goals, but it ignited the enthusiasm of the fans in the stands, and the Longteng team fans who have been absorbing the excellent fan culture of Europe and the United States have contributed a variety of assists, in addition to the most common drumming, singing, and chanting in unison, like the grandstand jumping, the human waves are played by the fans, especially after the communication with the Icelandic fans, the Longteng fans learned the assist method that became popular because the 2016 European Cup was used by the big dark horse Iceland team fans - Viking War Cry.

The Viking War Cry, which was close to 50,000 people in the audience, really brought strength to the Dragons.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, it was Tao Wentao who smashed the ball deftly on the right side of the penalty area, shaking off Zou Zheng's center of gravity, and then he used his left foot to make an arc and sent the ball to Chavez at the far end, whose header went directly to the crossbar and missed the inevitable goal.

"Chavez, this ball is actually on the crossbar, Tao Wentao basically fed the cake to his mouth, but unfortunately he spit it out. Liu Jiayuan regretted for the Longteng team, "After continuously losing Xiang Tiange and Huang He, the Longteng team used Tao Wentao to re-support the attack on the right side, and the thickness of the bench is really strong." ”

"The main thing is that Zou Zheng's state has declined badly after his injury, if Li Xuepeng is still there, Evergrande will not be so weak on the left. Shen Fangjian's topic soon turned to tactics, "Evergrande has a very good mid-lane penetration in the front, but because the two wings can't attack, it can be said that it is a bit blind to such a strong front-court configuration, if the tactics of flying with both wings can be played, Evergrande's offense will become more three-dimensional." ”

After saying a lot of correct nonsense, Liu Jiayuan interrupted him: "It is said that Evergrande is already in contact with a number of full-backs, and Evergrande will definitely strengthen this position next season." ”

Scolari was also thinking about the fullbacks on the sidelines at this time, although the two wings of the Longteng team suppressed Evergrande's fullbacks very strongly, but after they came up, there was a lot of space behind them.

Compared with the previous game, Xiong Jian's physical fitness has been a common weakness of the Longteng team, Zhang Sheng's tactics have very high requirements for the two fullbacks, their defensive coverage area includes their own side from one end of the penalty area to the other, Xiong Jian's physical fitness is not enough to play the whole game.

What Scolari asked for in this game was that Gao Lin on the left side did not return to the defense, and kept in the position of the Longteng team's rib combination area.

When the game came to the second half of the first half, Xiong Jian's pace slowed down.

In the 35th minute, Zheng Zhi launched a long counterattack, he handed the ball to Gao Lin on the left, who unloaded the ball with a beautiful volley and turned to get rid of the bear sword that was a little slower half a beat, and then Gao Lin went directly to the bottom, and Du Zhenyu, who played the right central defender, hurriedly went out of the penalty area to intercept Gao Lin's breakthrough or block his pass.

Gao Lin did not hesitate, and passed the ball to the penalty area on the way that Du Zhenyu came to block, and at this time, inside and outside the penalty area of the Longteng team, Diego Costa, Paulinho and Goulart fired three arrows together, forming a three-point layered outflanking.

Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack this time is extremely threatening.
