Lippi has arguably been criticized this season, and the main problem is that the players he proposed to bring in are really not good. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Diamanti is a player that Lippi asked to introduce, in fact, Liu Yongzhuo, chairman of Guangzhou Evergrande, hopes to transfer to Diamanti in the summer, but Lippi seems to be a little impatient, he strongly asked to let Diamanti join in the winter transfer period, under his strong request, Liu Yongzhuo, who has a lot of trust in Lippi's professional quality and professional ability, agreed to his request.

It's a pity that Diamanti's performance is really difficult to match the height that Lippi gives the expectation, and everyone unanimously likes to compare Diamanti with the "king of celestial bodies" Conca, although the two players with different playing styles and even a little different positions are compared like this It is a bit unfair, but Diamanti did not fill the midfield position of Guangzhou Evergrande after Conca left, so that Evergrande's control ability has dropped significantly It is a fact that it is obvious to all.

As for another reinforcement - Gilardino, he can be said to be the peak of his debut, this is another player that Lippi strongly recommends to introduce, his first game is really amazing, but it is an undoubted fact that the high and low behind the back, Zhang Sheng knows that Gilardino left Guangzhou Evergrande with the reputation of parallel goods in history, and Lippi's resignation and resignation are not unrelated to the sluggish performance of the two of them.

Of course, Lippi's own ability to recognize people is unquestionable, as evidenced by Elkeson, who scored just now.

After Lippi and Elkeson both left Guangzhou Evergrande, the two players and coaches who were not considered parties to Evergrande revealed a lot of the inside story of Elkeson's joining Evergrande.

Elkeson revealed that Lippi was a very important reason for choosing to join Evergrande in the first place: "Mr. Lippi is a World Cup-winning coach, every player wants to work with a great coach, and I feel very motivated to play here. ”

Speaking about his relationship with Lippi, Elkeson admitted: "We have a very good working relationship, like a father and a son. I learned a lot and it helped me a lot and it allowed me to win the Grand Slam with the team. ”

Liu Jianhong and Xu Yang, who also lamented the goal, said frankly that Guangzhou Evergrande's goal was a reflection of the player's experience: "Diamanti's free kick level is not only how to hit the ball into the goal, but also how to create enough good opportunities for teammates in free kicks is obviously his housekeeping skills." The goalkeeper of the Dragons suffered this loss. ”

Xu Yang also praised Liu Jianhong's opinion: "The biggest loophole of the Longteng team in this game is in the goalkeeper, and now they are evenly matched with each other, and once Evergrande has more shots, the Longteng team's goal will be dangerous." ”

In fact, Liu Jianhong and Xu Yang can see that Zhang Sheng, as the head coach of the team, is also clear, and Zhang Sheng's tactics of controlling the ball in the midfield before the game are considered for this reason, but they didn't expect Diamanti to use his experience to get a free kick in front of the field and score a goal.

After conceding the goal, Zhang Sheng gestured to the players on the field, that is, try to force the opponent to the sideline, don't let them get too many opportunities in the middle, and strengthen the attack on the two wings at the same time, try not to let the opponent go down and then cross, because the cross from the bottom is far more threatening than the 45-degree oblique adjustment.

After receiving instructions from Zhang Sheng to step up his attack, Ben Alpha began to exert his strength.

In the 26th minute of the first half, Ben Alpha made a gesture to accelerate the breakthrough on the side, and Zhang Linpeng, who was defending him, was obviously confused by Ben Alpha's previous style of play.

In this game, Zhang Sheng asked Ben Alpha to reduce the breakthrough, in addition to wanting him to change his style of play, there is also a practical reason, that is, he is afraid of being counterattacked by the opponent after the ball is broken, so Ben Alpha has always been very honest in the previous games, he used the pass more to strengthen the connection with Ivo and Lin Feng, and the breakthrough was very rare, and the feints made many times to break through were finally converted into passes.

Zhang Linpeng thought that Ben Alpha would pass the ball again this time, but unfortunately he was wrong, Ben Alpha suddenly started after taking the ball, and then resolutely cut inside.

This cut made Evergrande's back line nervous, and before the game, Lippi gave advice to the players: "Ben Alpha is not in good shape now, but everyone must remember that even if he is not in good shape now, once he starts to break through, the power is still very great, and we must be vigilant against his breakthrough at any time, if he wants to break through with the ball, at least two people must be on to cover him." ”

In the face of Ben Alpha's internal cut, Zhang Linpeng and one of the defenders, Zhao Xuyang, hurriedly came over to help defend together, but the two of them really underestimated Ben Alpha's ability, Ben Alpha suddenly made a deceleration action in the process of dribbling the ball, so that Zhang Linpeng and Zhao Xuyang thought that he wanted to adjust the pace, because after others slowed down, the ball was a little far away from people.

Zhang Linpeng saw the opportunity behind Ben Alpha and immediately wanted to stretch his foot to reach the ball, while Zhao Xuyang wanted to lean over and not let Ben Alpha stretch his foot to reach the ball, but unfortunately they didn't expect Ben Alpha to be a feint at all, he made a pull back action on the ball on the bottom of his toe when he slowed down, and his deceleration was to let the ball return to his control, and then accelerate again.

Sure enough, when Zhang Linpeng stretched out his feet and Zhao Xuyang leaned over, Ben Alpha accelerated again, and the ball seemed to be equipped with a rubber band between his feet, and rebounded.

Ben Alpha's breakthrough made the commentator Liu Jianhong feel like he had seen a ghost: "Oh my God, this breakthrough, the football is the same as Ben Alpha's feet, he has broken through the defense of two people, will he continue to cut inside? Fast into the penalty area!"

Ben Alpha's breakthrough also surprised the other defenders of Guangzhou Evergrande, Zhao Xuyang's misposition made the defensive barrier of Evergrande's midfield completely disappear, Ben Alpha can now be brought and passed, it depends on how he chooses.

The first to fill in was the other back Huang Bowen who started this game, when Zhao Xuyang went to defend, he had already begun to recover from the front, and after seeing Ben Alpha's successful breakthrough, he hurriedly accelerated again, wanting to interfere with Ben Alpha's movements from behind.

The other one who came to make up for the defense was Feng Xiaoting, in Guangzhou Evergrande's double central defenders, Feng Xiaoting was more in front of the back when the back was out of position or the opponent's striker was pulled out, and when Feng Xiaoting was in front, Jin Yingquan was responsible for dragging back protection, that is to say, Feng went first, and Jin Dianhou was behind!

In the eyes of Huang Bowen and Feng Xiaoting, since Ben Alpha chose to break through, then according to his character, it must be a dragon to the end, because in the previous game, Ben Alpha had too many such stories, and when he started to dribble the ball, other teammates simply went back to defend.

Only the Longteng players who have been playing with Ben Alpha during this time have not given up the opportunity to receive the ball, because they know how much Ben Alpha wants to change himself during this time, for example, this time when Feng Xiaoting was on top, Wen Kai decisively began to insert into the penalty area, because now there is only one central defender in Evergrande's penalty area, Jin Yingquan, which is a rare opportunity for a center forward.

Ben Alfa did not live up to Wen Kai's hopes, he chose the most secure way to pass the ball under the attack of Huang Bowen and Feng Xiaoting, and distributed the ball to Ivo who came to respond, because one of the two backs was out of position, and the other was defending Ben Alfa, and there was no one around Ivo, and he easily gave the ball to Wen Kai who was inserted into the penalty area.

When Ben Alpha passed, Kim Yingquan knew that it was not good, the opponent could choose a lot of passing routes, not only the possibility of directly picking the pass to find Wen Kai, but also the possibility of passing the ball to Ivo who came to answer, and also passing a little farther, because Ding Huaiyi on the right side also assisted, and finally he could even knock the ball back to the left side of the fullback Zhou Zhou who inserted the assist.

Between the lightning and the fire, Kim Young-kwon chose the safest way, which was to resist Wen Kai who was inserted into the penalty area, and when he saw that Ben Alpha chose to pass to Ivo, he knew that he had made the right bet.

Just when Kim Yingquan was glad that he had made the right bet, Ivo's pass was too fast, because no one defended, and Ben Alpha's ball pass was really comfortable, the strength, and the height were very suitable, Ivo didn't have to stop the ball at all this time, but a direct pass without stopping the ball, and went directly to Wenkai.

Kim Young-kwon obviously didn't expect Ivo's pass to be so fast, when Wen Kai had already started, he was not ready to start, Wen Kai, who followed Ivo's ball, turned sideways and faced the goal directly, at this time Kim Young-kwon just began to turn around.

Wen Kai, who had successfully turned around, met the ball with a furious shot, and the strength of the shot was so strong that the only thing Guangzhou Evergrande goalkeeper Zeng Cheng could do was to symbolically reach out to stop it, but the ball had already crossed his body before Zeng Cheng stretched out his hand and flew to the goal behind him.

Just when Zeng Cheng was about to choose to give up, he heard a "bang" behind him, obviously the ball smashed on the lintel, and the second reaction was super fast, he didn't want to fall directly to the ground and dial the ball to the bottom line, and the shot was completed, and Wen Kai, who saw that the ball did not score, also went to make up for the shot, because he was in a hurry to make up the shot, Wen Kai's foot kicked on Zeng Cheng's body, but fortunately, in the end, Wen Kai still closed his feet rationally, even so Zeng Cheng still performed very painfully, and finally the ball flew out of the bottom line.

The referee in charge of the game hurriedly came over to observe the situation, because according to the rules of the football game, the goalkeeper must be suspended if he is injured.

Guangzhou Evergrande's team doctor also quickly entered the field under the referee's signal, after careful inspection, it was found that Zeng Cheng was only hit, there was no big problem, the game began to continue, and the referee gave Wen Kai a yellow card to warn him of dangerous actions, but at the same time he also awarded the ball to the Longteng team, so that the Longteng team got a corner.

The Longteng team's attack this time exposed the gap between the ability of their own strikers and the ability of Guangzhou Evergrande's forwards, Elkeson saw the opportunity, went to fight for the opportunity to shoot, and scored a goal;

At the same time, the gap is exposed by the goalkeepers of both sides, the goal conceded by the Longteng team is the goalkeeper's lack of experience and ability, resulting in the loss of the goal; Guangzhou Evergrande relied on Zeng Cheng's last hard save, Wen Kai's supplementary shot into invisible, and tried to protect the city gate.

Liu Jianhong also felt very sorry for the goal missed by the Longteng team: "Ben Alfa has done everything that should be done, and Ivo has also done his best, but it is a pity that he missed the last shot. ”

Xu Yang also said: "I really should give Ben Alpha a thumbs up, the breakthrough in front and the last pass are top-notch, it seems that Coach Zhang Sheng chose to start him for his own reasons." ”

Zhang Sheng, who was mentioned by Xu Yang, hugged his head regretfully on the field, and then applauded Wen Kai encouragingly, asking him to hurry up and participate in the corner kick, and at the same time gave Lu Zhihui a gesture and asked him to enter the penalty area to participate in the attack.

Seeing Lu Zhihui enter the penalty area of Guangzhou Evergrande from the backfield, Evergrande's players were alert one by one, before Lu Zhihui's heading ability made Evergrande really impressed, Feng Xiaoting, who was relatively strong in the two central defenders, immediately pasted Lu Zhihui, and Jin Yingquan was also ready to grab the second drop point at any time.

It was Ben Alpha who was responsible for the corner kick, because he was also the best player on the field, after the corner kick was issued, Lu Zhihui, who was the focus of the defense, began to retreat outside the penalty area, and he immediately pulled Feng Xiaoting and Jin Yingquan, but Jin Yingquan hesitated when he saw Lu Zhihui retreating, and he did not follow Feng Xiaoting to follow Lu Zhihui.

And Ben Alpha's place where the ball was passed was really where Lu Zhihui stood before, after Lu Zhihui retreated, he suddenly circled around and accelerated forward, jumped high to top the ball, and Feng Xiaoting, who had been following Lu Zhihui, also got up to interfere.

It's a pity that Lu Zhihui's bouncing ability and header ability are better than Feng Xiaoting's, he didn't force the goal when he knew that he couldn't directly head the goal, but gently rubbed the ball back with his head, and the main role of him around that circle just now was to get rid of Jin Yingquan's second point of scramble and create opportunities for the team.

Lu Zhihui's pass was very good, Jin Yingquan was separated from Lu Zhihui, and did not grab the second point, but was ambushed at the back point Wen Kai grabbed the point, this time Wen Kai did not waste the opportunity created by his teammates, he decisively shot with his left foot, because it was too close to the goal, Zeng Cheng had no time to save, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.
