Although Xiang Tiange's goal did not score, not only the fans in the stands, including Zhang Sheng on the sidelines, gave him applause.

Since Xiang Tiange scored a beautiful goal in the AFC Champions League last time, the fast horse on the wing seems to have found the confidence to shoot, and he has begun to use his speed and technical advantages to form inward shots frequently in the game. He's getting more and more like a modern winger.

This shot also ushered in the praise of the two commentators, Liu Jianhong said: "Xiang Tiange is getting better and better now, and the more he plays, the more confident he becomes." Good speed, whether it is defense, passing, assisting, shooting on the side. ”

"Xiang Tiange's appearance reminds me of our previous side fast horse in China - Wu Chengying. Huang Jianxiang obviously also admires Xiang Tiange, "The same side fast horse, the same 18-year-old Wu Chengying was selected for the national team at the age of 19." Even the family conditions are similar. Over the years, there have been few such excellent side fast horses in China, and now someone has finally taken over. ”

Huang Jianxiang's words are not wrong, Xiang Tiange is indeed very similar to Wu Chengying in some aspects.

Wu Chengying's family conditions are very good, his great-grandfather was the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Qing Dynasty, his father was a professor of mathematics at Shanghai Jiaotong University, and his mother was an employee of a state-owned enterprise. And Xiang Tiange's family is not bad, his father is the chief physician of one of the best hospitals in Jiangcheng, and he is also a professor in the university, his mother is an employee of a large state-owned enterprise, and his family conditions are also the top in Jiangcheng, which is comparable to Wu Chengying.

In terms of playing style, Xiang Tiange is also known for his fearless charge on the side and fierce defense, which is the same as Wu Chengying.

Of course, Xiangtian Song is not without its shortcomings.

First of all, in defense, Xiang Tiange is a little inexperienced, although he has a strong round-trip ability, but he often can't come back because of the attack after attacking, he can't come back because he rushes too hard, and he is beaten behind; Before he shot just now, he had to adjust a little before he shot with his left foot, and it was that adjustment that made Guangzhou Evergrande's defenders force one more step, resulting in having to aim a little farther out when shooting, and the corresponding football was also slightly out of the goal.

And compared with Wu Chengying, Xiang Tiange also has one less trick - Wu Chengying's set-piece processing ability is far above Xiang Tiange.

However, now Xiang Tiange's ability value is only 78, and there is still room for growth compared to his potential value of 82, especially once he can pass the threshold of 80, his general ability will have a significant improvement, which means that Xiang Tiange has a promising future.

In fact, this attack is a tactic commonly used after the beginning of this season, that is, to use Qi Ming's good ability to shoot the ball and the characteristics of long pass accuracy to play a long pass counterattack in a timely manner.

As early as the second season of the Chinese Super League, Zhang Sheng wanted to optimize the attack of the Longteng team - make full use of the width of the field to play a long pass counterattack while ensuring fast short pass coordination - to achieve a combination of long and short attacks.

In the previous Longteng team, in order to ensure the core short-pass tactics, Zhang Sheng chose more players with better short and medium passes in the call of players. Now that the team's short-pass tactics have been formed, and the players have enough reserves, summoning players with long pass ability has become another choice for Zhang Sheng, and a player like Qi Ming with excellent qualifications and good length and short just makes up for Zhang Sheng's tactical appeal.

The Dragons' attack made Scolari on the sidelines less composed, and he made a gesture to Alan on the right flank, telling him to pay attention to retreating quickly and not allowing Qi Ming to cross easily.

Although Scolari's choice will make Alan consume more energy, it will also really squeeze the space for the Dragons to counterattack quickly. Of course, only a world-class manager like Scolari can make a striker like Allan who thinks highly of himself honestly and actively defend as required.

As for Martinez, the much-criticized new signing this season, it also objectively put a lot of pressure on Allan, so that Allan had to consider the consequences of disobedience.

After Qi Ming's offensive point was slightly restricted, although the situation on the field was still dominated by the Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande's main defense, the Longteng team's threatening offense gradually decreased, and the two sides were more entangled in the midfield near Guangzhou Evergrande.

When the two teams are in a delicate balance on the field, it is often the moment when the stars on the field stand up, Zhang Sheng also quickly thought of this, and he chose Ben Alpha for the first time.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Zhang Sheng took advantage of the team's opportunity to get the sideline ball and called Ben Alfa to his side to give instructions: "Rush up and use the breakthrough to disrupt the rhythm of the opposite side." ”

Ben Alpha nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

Sure enough, Ben Alpha strengthened the break down the flank.

In the 29th minute, after receiving Qi Ming's pass, Ben Alfa no longer slowly formed a cooperation with his teammates, but suddenly picked up speed and rushed on the wing.

Paulinho, who was responsible for defending Ben Alpha, was very focused and decisively used his body to squeeze Ben Alpha, while Alan on the side also actively returned to defend and pinched Ben Alpha with Paulinho.

Ben Alpha's push had not gone more than five metres before Paulinho broke the ball out of the flank, and the Dragons' attack was stopped.

Next, Ben Alfa continued to play his good skills and strong impact characteristics, and continued to form a threat on the left side, Scolari was very keenly aware of the attack style of the Longteng team, he moved the center of gravity of the defense to the left side, and at the same time stuck Qi Ming's pass, so that the Longteng team had a chance to transfer a wide range of long passes, after all, Ben Alfa's long passing ability is negligible.

Scolari's tactics were working, and after Paulinho strengthened Ben Alpha's marking, the Dragons' attack was slowed down again.

Zhang Sheng looked at Scolari on the sidelines a little puzzled, now Guangzhou Evergrande is one goal behind, but it is clear that he will continue to strengthen the defense, Paulinho is now Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield offensive hammer, but now he is completely focused on defense, doesn't he want to attack?

Zhang Sheng has heard of Scolari's stubbornness and conservatism, but will he be willing to accept defeat?

While Zhang Sheng was still thinking, Guangzhou Evergrande showed its fangs.

In the thirty-fifth minute of the first half, the Longteng team, which had adhered to the majority of the half, relaxed a little in the tight rhythm, and Guangzhou Evergrande immediately gave the Longteng team a stuffy stick.

Kim Young-kwon, who had the ball in the backcourt, was not disturbed, and after looking up at his teammates in the frontcourt, he directly found Gao Lin on the left with a long pass with a big foot.

The tactical foundation of the Longteng team is to consume more troops to achieve the package, so there are bound to be many loopholes in the backfield, and Guangzhou Evergrande is playing this weakness.

When the ball was passed to Gao Lin's side, he received the ball very beautifully, facing the high falling football, his right foot steadily unloaded the ball in mid-air, and the football was firmly controlled by him as if it was not elastic.

At this time, the right wingback Xiang Tiange was still in front of him and did not come back, and the right midfielder Tao Wentao was also a little away from Gao Lin. Now after Gao Lin's beautiful catch was completed, he immediately began to dribble the ball at high speed, although Tao Wentao rushed over for the first time, after all, he was still left behind by Gao Lin.

After feeling someone approaching behind him, Gao Lin, who had been observing his teammate's position while dribbling, got up and crossed, and the flight path of the ball was not straight and straight, but with a clear arc. Although Du Zhenyu, the right central defender who was also defending at high speed, stretched out his foot in the high-speed run to block the ball, the football still passed his leg to the center of the penalty area.

Gaolat's running position is also very smart, he first went diagonally to the right side of the penalty area, and then stopped sharply and changed direction to run between Du Zhenyu and Ma Yongli, just came to the line of Gao Lin's pass, even if there was Ma Yongli's interference, Gao Lart's ball push was still successful.

Huang Dawei couldn't stop the blistering shot even though he made a save, and the ball flew into the net under Goulart's left foot.

Guangzhou Evergrande used an extremely sharp long pass to quickly counterattack to equalize the game.

"The ball is in! Shot from Goulart!" Liu Jianhong was still discussing with Huang Jianxiang the advantages of the overall strength of the Longteng team before, Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack this time almost made him not react, the common one in the past entered, entered, entered and did not shout, "Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack is really sharp, spicy, and a fatal blow." ”

As an old Serie A anchor, Huang Jianxiang is even more respectful of Guangzhou Evergrande's offensive tactics this time: "Your description is too appropriate." What is the heritage, this is the heritage of the old powerhouse. Serie A's 'old lady' Juventus is of this temperament. No matter how hard the opponent attacks, they rarely make mistakes, but once they are given a chance, even for a few seconds, they can come up with the most effective way to score. ”

In fact, Guangzhou Evergrande's long-pass counterattack style of play was very common during Cannavaro's coaching period.

At that time, after Conca left the team, Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield control dropped very much, Zheng Long was injured, Zheng Zhi's age did not support him to participate in the whole process of attack and defense, Cannavaro gave up the meticulous penetration of the middle, and the backfield players directly bypassed the opponent's midfield to find the frontcourt players who could hold the ball became the most effective offensive means of Guangzhou Evergrande.

Now Guangzhou Evergrande has the strongest B2B players in the Chinese Super League like Paulinho in the team, and the strength is not weaker than in the Conca period, but their opponent Longteng is also stronger. Compared with the midfielders who were generally in their early 70s at that time, it is rare for the current Longteng midfielders to be below 80.

In the face of other Chinese Super League teams, perhaps Guangzhou Evergrande can rely on Paulinho alone to attract most of the opponent's attractiveness, and then by several other top domestic players and foreign aid in the Chinese Super League to open the situation, now after meeting the Longteng team, Paulinho has to put most of his energy into defense, resulting in the midfield being suppressed very much.

Then the tactic of attacking with long passes became Scolari's most economical option.

Seeing that his team was scored a goal, Zhang Sheng couldn't help frowning on the sidelines, it seems that his tactics still have a very fatal flaw.

In order to keep track of the most advanced and popular tactics in world football right now, Zhang Sheng opted for the technical mad dog stream, but he overestimated his players a bit.

That is, the confrontation ability and physical fitness of the current batch of players are still too far behind the players in the five major European leagues.

In the five major leagues in Europe, especially those strong teams, it is no problem to maintain a high tempo and high confrontation for 70 or 80 minutes in the league, and in the Champions League, they are in this state for the whole game.

When Zhang Sheng used the physical fitness of the players in the top five European leagues to ask his players to keep pressing and fighting, the half-time duration of more than 30 minutes was already the best result of continuous improvement over the years.

In the face of most other teams in the Chinese Super League, the Longteng team can rely on strong pressing ability to score early, and then play with the wind, and then make early substitutions to replenish physical strength, and easily win. Now when you meet a team with a strong resilience like Guangzhou Evergrande, it is not so easy.

In the early days of the league, the Longteng team was able to rely on abundant physical strength to suppress Evergrande at the home of Guangzhou Evergrande, and it was not until the last second of the game that Guangzhou Evergrande relied on a controversial penalty to equalize the score.

Now that the league has been played for more than a dozen rounds, the physical fitness of the Longteng team has gradually come to a more extreme moment, and it is impossible to be as energetic as in the early days of the league, let alone the impact of injuries.

If Lu Zhihui's injury retirement and a well-capable substitute like Liming to fill the position, at most it is almost experience, and you need to be more cautious when playing, then the impact of Chavez's absence is too great, and Zou Weijia, who substituted him, is not hard enough, it is simply a lack of strength and experience.

When Chavez is on the field, in addition to being the fulcrum of the team's frontcourt, his ability to turn around and shoot is also the top in the Chinese Super League, and when Zou Weijia tries very hard to score, even the fulcrum role is lost.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng first gave instructions to the players on the field to retreat slightly in formation to prevent physical decline and then be stolen to fight back, or even the formation is out of touch, and then he specially advised Zou Weijia: "Don't be in a hurry to score, control the landing point, cooperate with teammates more, and pay attention to counter-robbery at the first time." ”

Zou Weijia also nodded nervously hurriedly, indicating that he knew, obviously he also knew that Zhang Sheng was not very satisfied with his previous expression.

With the retraction of the Longteng team's formation, Guangzhou Evergrande's side also pushed out the formation in time, and Paulinho was active and participated in the attack, but Zou Weijia, the center of the Longteng team, was no longer obsessed with scoring goals, and began to devote himself to the frontcourt pressing, and the situation on the field was really balanced.
