In the draw, the opponent of the Longteng team is Guizhou Zhicheng, because of the rules of the FA Cup, the Longteng team will go to Guiyang to play away.
Guizhou Zhicheng should say that the dragon and Teng team still have a lot of intersections, before Zhao Yingying and Wu Hao was transferred to this club, before this season, Guizhou Zhicheng also asked the Longteng team again to loan players, they played in the first league this season is also a coincidence, originally they only won the third place in the second division last season, but because there is a team in the dissolution of Shenyang Zhongze Football Club, they entered the middle league, in order to make up for the team's mistake of not being able to recruit as much, they found the first time to loan players to various Chinese clubs Longteng team, and successfully loaned to the right wingback Huang Heγ
Zhao Yingying and Wu Hao have now become the club's old courtiers, they are very concerned about the little brother Huang He, with the help of these two team veterans, Huang He quickly integrated into the team, and his good potential value also made him grow very fast, after two or three rounds of games, he was not yet 20 years old He became the sharpest knife on the side of Guizhou Zhicheng.
It was also his first FA Cup appearance, and he faced his parent club.
However, in this game, Huang He knew the gap between himself and the parent team's rotation, and even the substitute players.
Although it was the second team of Longteng, in the first half, they led 0:2 away from home, and the goals were scored by Ivo and Zou Weijia.
After the second half, the Longteng team, whose technical ability far surpassed the opponent's ability, played more and more smoothly, Guizhou Zhicheng only lasted less than 20 minutes before conceding the goal again, and Ivo used his strong ability to turn the score into 0:3.
Although Guizhou Zhicheng began a large-scale substitution, it still did not withstand the attack of the Longteng team, and Ivo scored another goal in the 31st minute of the second half to complete the hat trick, and the score became 0:4, and the rest of the game was completely meaningless.
Zhang Sheng also began to make substitutions one after another, several young players in 1998 also appeared one after another, until the end of the game, the Longteng team was pressing the other side to play, and the young players did not waste such an opportunity to play, Zeng Prosperity, who came on as a substitute before the end, gave Zou Weijia a good ball again, Zou Weijia formed a single knife and scored a goal again, and the score became 0:5.
According to the words of Zhao Yingying and Wu Hao after the game: "This ball is too embarrassing, and I don't have the face to see the boss." β
After the game, Zhang Sheng was most satisfied with not the score, but the confidence shown by the young players on the field, among which Qi Ming played inconspicuously in the midfield, far less dazzling than Ivo, who completed the hat trick, but he arranged the entire formation in an orderly manner, whether it was offensive or defensive, he was definitely the hub.
Zhang Sheng, who easily completed the task of the FA Cup, took the team back to home, and after the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League, and the FA Cup, the Longteng team finally had a home game.
In this game, the Longteng team played against Guangzhou R&F.
In last season's Chinese Super League, Guangzhou R&F failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League due to the emergence of the Longteng team, so their results are far better than the 2015 season in history.
However, the small business model pursued by Guangzhou R&F has made them repeatedly sell their strongest foreign aid at a high price, and it is difficult to greatly improve their strength, and they play very poorly in the face of the soaring Longteng team.
Pato and Ben Alfa, who did not play in the FA Cup and had a good rest, made a mess of R&F's backline, first Pato assisted Nie Jiang to open the scoring, and then Ben Alfa fed Pato a successful cake, Pato scored an empty goal, and the score became 2:0 in the first half.
At the start of the second half, the Dragons slowed down the tempo, but in the more than 20 minutes, the attack picked up again, Ben Alfa was tackled in the penalty area, and he personally scored the penalty, so that all three players on the Dragons front line scored, and the score became 3:0.
The commentator of the game also said: "The attack of the Longteng team is too strong now, the trident in the front court makes all the Chinese Super League teams fearful, coupled with the stable defense in the backfield, it has become a question who can beat them." β
Zhang Sheng, who has already locked up the victory, continued his own practice of training newcomers - a large number of newcomers on the field.
In the end, Guangzhou R&F also found confidence in these newcomers of the Longteng team, and Du Zhenyu was eaten raw by R&F's small foreign aid Renaldinho, who was more than 1.6 meters in R&F, with his skills, resulting in the loss of a goal.
But this goal did not have much effect, and the final score was fixed at 3:1, and the Longteng team seemed more and more unstoppable in the Chinese Super League.
After this game, because Guangzhou Evergrande was forced to draw by Shanghai SIPG again in its own home stadium, the score gap between Evergrande and Longteng has reached 7 points, and this score difference is an unacceptable result for all Evergrande's upper echelons, fans, and media.
Cannavaro's dismissal is on the agenda, and now it's up to him how he performs in the next two games.
These two games are also very crucial, one is the AFC Champions League away to Gamba Osaka in the J-League, and the other is against their rivals Longteng at their own home stadium. The former game will decide the fate of Guangzhou Evergrande in the AFC Champions League this season, and the latter game will not only be a battle worth 6 points, but also the significance of this game is far more profound than the score, because this game is likely to be the handover of the new and old Chinese Super League kings.
Of course, as a traverser, Zhang Sheng knew that Cannavaro's dismissal was inevitable, and the outcome of these two games was nothing more than whether his dismissal seemed decent.
The game during this period is very crucial for Guangzhou Evergrande, so it is also for the Longteng team.
On May 20, the Longteng team will play Seoul FC away in the AFC Champions League, and on May 23, the Longteng team will challenge Guangzhou Evergrande away in the Chinese Super League, and these two games will also be decisive for Zhang Sheng.
So after the end of the game with Guangzhou R&F, Zhang Sheng did not make any stops in Jiangcheng and led the team directly to South Korea.
As in the past, this season's Seoul FC once again rotated the main lineup, including the absolute main players like Escudero to the Chinese Super League, and many other main players either went to Europe to play, or retired from military service, and the military service of military service is very different from last season's personnel.
However, South Korea, as a country that has been very successful in youth training in Asia, has no shortage of talent.
With the youth level of the K-League, it is fully capable of forming 18 leagues of the same size as the J-League.
However, due to the lack of spectators and the disfavor of capital, the Korean Football Association artificially reduced the number of K-League teams to 12, resulting in a surplus of institutional talent, and excellent players either transferred to foreign leagues or accepted rotation to stay in K-League, which made it possible for K-League teams participating in the AFC Champions League to reserve two sets of teams of comparable strength.
Although Seoul FC had a group of players before the season, they had recruited a lot of players from Jeju United and Pohang Steelers, so they were not short of people. For example, during this period of time, they played 3 consecutive games against Evergrande, Kashima Antlers, and Jeonbuk Hyundai, using 21 players, but the results were 2 wins and 1 draw, which shows the talent pool of Korean football.
Compared with the Chinese Super League, because the youth training is not perfect, there are few outstanding talents, and the number of teams is large, if a player has the ability to play the AFC Champions League and cannot play the main team in the club, he usually seeks a transfer.
And in the Chinese Super League, if a team sells multiple main players during the transfer period, it is difficult to buy multiple main players in the transfer market to replace them.
Of course, the Longteng team is not in the category of ordinary Chinese Super League teams.
At the same time, Seoul FC is also very optimistic about industry insiders and fans in South Korea, as one of the top two in the Korean K League, Seoul FC's head coach Choi Yong-so is very appealing.
Choi Yong-so is a young coach with tactical innovation, and he is considered to be the most promising local coach in South Korea compared to another old powerhouse that plays against the old Pharaohs, Jeonbuk Hyundai.
The current Seoul FC is playing a small range of receiving, passing, and transferring, and it is tikitaka that is learned, which is very advanced and beautiful. And the defense is also an advanced high post defense, and immediately after losing the ball, it is immediately surrounded.
From this point, it can be seen that the tactics of Choi Yongsu and Jang Seung are very similar.
But this Seoul FC team is not without weaknesses, and it is a big weakness, that is, their foreign aid is really not good.
Compared with the 2013 season when the peak of the Seoul FC, the three strong foreign players at that time have now fallen apart, Deyang was poached by Jiangsu Shuntian, and now transferred to Beijing Guoan to play well, this season's Beijing Guoan can rank in the league three with Guangzhou Evergrande points, and at the same time in the AFC Champions League group stage with the first place in the qualification, Deyang is a decisive role.
Another foreign striker, Escudero, has transferred to the Chinese Super League. The team that went to Jiangsu Shuntian was again.
After seeing a good player like Dejan slip out of their hands, they felt that something was wrong, and then turned around and thought that there seemed to be nothing wrong - just dig up Seoul FC's foreign players, isn't it money.
So at the beginning, Seoul FC shocked the former foreign aid trident of Asian football and left Molina, but unfortunately now things are different, Molina is now nearly 35 years old, and his running and tandem ability on the field are far less than two years ago.
Even in terms of transfer value alone, the gap between the two sides is huge, compared to Pato's 1000w euros, Ben Alpha is also a similar value, and now Seoul FC's highest value is only the veteran Molina - only a mere 190w euros.
For example, the price of several foreign players who transferred to Seoul FC in the past two seasons is cheap, but the strength is not outstanding, and they are more often played as rotation players in important games, such as the AFC Champions League.
In an interview before the game, Choi Yong-so also made a special mention of the Dragons' foreign players: "They have super foreign players like Pato and Ben Arfa, and we will strengthen our defense against them. "But we are a team that plays as a whole and at our home stadium the goal is to get all three points. β
Hearing Cui Yongzhu's words, Zhang Sheng secretly laughed in his heart, what he wanted was Cui Yongzhu's style of play that was not afraid of heaven and earth, the more he attacked on his home field, the more afraid the Longteng team was, after all, in terms of strength, his team was higher than the opponent.
Historically, Seoul FC is also aggressive and Osaka Gamba played against each other, they didn't look bad on the field, and once pressed the other side to play, but because of the lack of a decisive figure on the forward line, the consequence was that the offense only blossomed and did not bear fruit, and was beaten by the opponent 1:3 at their home stadium, and after arriving at the away side, Choi Yongsu did not believe in evil and continued to attack, and as a result, he was beaten a 0 in the first half: 2, later Gamba Osaka had a large number of substitute players, which made the score a little better, and the final score was Gamba Osaka 3:2 home again to win the opponent.
If Seoul FC doesn't attack, Jang Seung is still afraid that their overall defense will be good, after all, as the team that conceded the second fewest goals in the K League last season, it is still difficult for the Longteng team to score, and now Choi Yongsu swears that he will attack it, and Jang Seung is really not afraid.
After the start of the game, Seoul FC really started to attack at the beginning as Choi Yong-so said, and their all-Korean squad lineup reflected the characteristics of Korean players - active scrambling, fierce pressing, and running at all costs.
Obviously, they wanted to use this high-intensity confrontation to make the Dragons make forced mistakes, but unfortunately this plan did not work.
At the beginning, Xu Yang, who was in charge of the commentary, was still worried about the on-field situation of the Longteng team: "Seoul FC is very fierce, and the cooperation between two to three people in the front court is pressing, making it very difficult for the Longteng team to play the ball." β
However, the next time the pressed Longteng team brought the players closer to each other, and the short-distance short pass combination that the team had insisted on until then showed its effect, and every time the Seoul FC players looked like they were about to cut off the ball of the Longteng team, but they were always a little bit behind.
Especially as the point of the ball on the back line of the Longteng team, Ma Yongli's footwork is very good, he keeps directing everyone to pass in the backfield, and at the same time he has also transferred the ball to the back position many times, and then in return, he is not in a hurry to hand over the ball to his teammates who are stared at in the front court, as long as the ball is at his feet, the back line of the Longteng team is extremely safe.
Xu Yang was also relieved after observing for a while: "The overall passing and receiving cooperation of the Longteng team is too skilled, and Seoul FC is very pressed, but it doesn't seem to have much effect." Breaking the high position and pressing is to rely on this kind of foot technology to execute. β
