62. A young centre-back combination
Also noticing this situation was Duan Xuan, who praised Zhang Sheng's adjustment this time: "The two fullbacks of the Longteng team have changed positions, and the effect is very good. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I have to say that Director Zhang found the problem in a timely manner and adjusted it in place. ”
Zhou Ning said enviously: "The main thing is that the players of the Longteng team are strong. There are very few players in the country who have a balanced left and right foot. Wu Lei's ability to play at his current level has a lot to do with his ability to shoot with his left and right feet, and many Chinese Super League players use their main feet at the Super League level, and their backfoot is only at the level of the Chinese Super League. There are a large number of players in the Longteng team who can use both left and right feet, which is rare in the entire Chinese Super League. ”
In the praise of Duan Xuan and Zhou Ning, Xiao Yunfan made a beautiful assist on the left side, after he assisted to the front, he firmly cut inside, and after attracting three Shanghai SIPG defenders, he distributed the ball to Ben Alpha inserted on the left side, the latter crossed with high quality unguarded, Pato who switched to the middle from the right side diagonally to the other side of the penalty area after a beautiful lion shook his head, fortunately Yan Junling's attention was very concentrated, he put Pato's must-score goal out of the crossbar, and the Longteng team won a corner kick again.
In this corner kick, the Longteng team invested a lot of people, among which Lu Zhihui, who has a strong header offensive ability, became the main force of the corner kick attack.
Shanghai SIPG's defensive players also attach great importance to Lu Zhihui, among which Jin Zhourong follows him to the death, guarding against his header at any time, while other players are also huddled together in the penalty area, pushing each other.
After observing the situation in the penalty area, Ben Alpha saw Lu Zhihui raise his hands and gesture to himself, and decisively passed the ball to the front point.
When Lu Zhihui took the free throw, he was still in the center of the penalty area, and when the ball passed, he took a step back and suddenly ran forward, Jin Zhourong first followed Lu Zhihui and then followed, but at this time the initiative was already in Lu Zhihui's hands.
When Lu Zhihui jumped, Jin Zhourong was already a step slower, and when Lu Zhihui shook his head to attack the goal, Jin Zhourong's head came over.
After the football was hit by Lu Zhihui, it missed the post slightly.
But soon he was stuck on the turf in the restricted area, covering his head, and couldn't get up.
Duan Xuan was still applauding Lu Zhihui's header at first: "The third corner kick of the Longteng team." Such a large number of opportunities for corner kicks for the Longteng team is very dangerous, in addition to a few front-court players, Lu Zhihui's header offensive ability is a must in the Chinese Super League. Ben Alpha's pass, Lu Zhihui grabbed the first point, and there were, oops, slightly off the post. It's a pity. Hey, the players of the Longteng team were negotiating with the referee, and Lu Zhihui was on the ground. What's going on?"
"I guess I bumped into the opponent when I grabbed the header. Zhou Ning guessed.
However, the slow motion that was quickly replayed explained all this, when Lu Zhihui shook his head to attack the goal, Jin Zhourong did not reach the ball because of the backward jump, but reached Lu Zhihui's temples and the corners of his eyes, and Lu Zhihui's head, which had already used up his strength, was hit hard by Jin Zhourong.
And from the slow motion, you can see that the blood on Lu Zhihui's fingers covering his head is overflowing.
Seeing this situation, Duan Xuan said worriedly: "This is quite dangerous. Lu Zhihui was completely in a state of weakness, and it was estimated that there was a problem with the corners of his eyes and eyebrow bones, and he was bleeding a lot. ”
Zhou Ning also looked worried: "If it's okay if it's just the corners of the eyes and eyebrow bones, I'm afraid of a concussion." ”
And Zhou Ning's crow's mouth decisively said the matter, and after helping Lu Zhihui's team doctor Li Xiang stop the bleeding, he stretched out four fingers and asked, "How much is this?"
Lu Zhihui said in a trance: "It seems to be three." ”
Seeing this situation, Li wanted to know that the problem was not small, so he hurriedly greeted the outside of the field and made a gesture to go to the field for treatment.
Soon the on-site rescue vehicle entered the scene, and the medical staff carried Lu Zhihui to the car on a stretcher and drove to the sidelines.
Zhang Sheng looked at Lu Zhihui worriedly, praying that he was okay.
But soon his wish was disappointed, Li Xiang came over and said: "Prepare to be replaced, it should be a concussion, the corner of the eye is cracked, and it seems that the eyebrow bone is also fractured, and it needs to be sent to the hospital for examination." ”
Hearing the news, Zhang Sheng blurted out a dirty word: "T.M.D"
It's no wonder that Zhang Sheng is angry, now several central defenders of the Longteng team are experienced in Ma Yongli and Lu Zhihui, but I didn't expect that when Ma Yongli was suspended, Lu Zhihui was also injured, and now the game is less than 20 minutes, and there are still seventy or eighty minutes behind, how can this be played.
At this time, Zhang Sheng really regretted letting McGovern go, but now it is useless to feel sorry for himself, so he can only make adjustments to the players quickly.
After urgently discussing with assistant coach Schurrle, Zhang Sheng vetoed the idea of letting Zhang Hao or Xiong Jian play as a central defender, and decided to let Liming, a genuine central defender, play.
Seeing Zhang Sheng's substitution, Duan Xuan was very surprised: "It seems that Lu Zhihui's situation is very serious, the Longteng team is going to be replaced, let's take a look, No. 24 replaces No. 3 Lu Zhihui." No. 24? Oh it's dawn, I rarely played before. ”
"Yes, Liming is the Dragons' own academy player, born on January 3, 1998, tsk, less than 18 years old. Zhou Ning also exclaimed, "Is it good for such a young player to play unprepared in such an important game?"
Duan Xuan also added: "Although Du Zhenyu has started a lot of games this season, and has played in the league and the AFC Champions League, he is only a player born on January 2, 1996, and he is still less than 20 years old. In other words, one of the two central defenders of the Longteng team is 19 years old and the other is 17 years old, and such a combination is estimated to be invisible in the whole Chinese Super League, right?
Zhou Ning quickly flipped through the information and said: "Yes, there are yes, the two FA Cups of the Longteng team before, including the one in the middle of last week, they all played together. This is better, the two are still very familiar after all. ”
"Then let's take a look at the performance of the youngest centre-back pair in the history of the Chinese Super League. Duan Xuan said worriedly.
Lu Zhihui's fate did bring great confusion to the Longteng team, after all, as the backbone of the backline, his injury and forced to leave the field made everyone seem a little timid.
And Shanghai SIPG quickly seized the opportunity to score.
Shortly after Lu Zhihui went off the field, the Longteng team made a mistake in the backline. It was the dawn that made a mistake.
Liming, a player that Zhang Sheng dug out from the young players who played wild ball through the club's scouting. Anyone who has played wild ball knows that there are only two kinds of players who play well in the position of central defender, one is the old fritter with a very good sense of ball prediction, and the whole defender feels psychologically bottomed up at that station;
And Dawn can be valued by the scouts of the Dragon Teng team, in addition to the above two points, but also because he has a beautiful foot technique, but his shortcomings are also very obvious, the first is that the concentration is often inattentive, and then the sense of position is very poor.
Don't look at Liming's height of 1.86 meters, good jumping, fast speed, not slow turning, and the skills at his feet are also the top among the central defenders, but he often rises to the top, because of his long-term wild ball career, he is used to using his body and technique to fight against opponents, ignoring the cultivation of positional sense.
On the field, he can return after losing the ball, squeeze others with his body, and can make up for his shortcomings with better technique, but in the professional arena, when he is facing the elite, he makes mistakes.
For example, his lack of concentration will make him make mistakes from time to time when facing weak teams.
If the opponent has a strong offensive ability, he must tense his nerves at all times, then the situation is better, and if his own side has the advantage, when the defense is not in much danger, once the mind wanders from time to time. For centre-backs, it's an absolutely damning problem, and it could easily lead to losing games that should have been won.
A weak sense of location is even more problematic.
If it is a one-on-one defense, Dawn can also use his excellent prediction ability to make up for the lack of positional sense, but in a team like the Longteng team that pays attention to the overall defensive system and tactics, Dawn, who has a bad sense of position, will always run to the wrong position and destroy the team's defensive formation, which will not only cause hidden dangers in the area he defends, but also interfere with the defenders in other areas, resulting in several defenders on the field to grab a point, and let the opponent's other players be empty.
It wasn't until he came to the Longteng team that these shortcomings were slowly corrected, but it is a pity that football, a sport that values children's skills, did not lay a good foundation in the early stage, and the later correction was an extremely long process.
In the face of Conca's 45-degree cross, he ran to the area defended by Du Zhenyu to defend Wu Lei, who was not tall, and let go of Evra, who should have been targeted, so that the latter could easily face Zhou Wei with a sweep.
In the face of such a close-range shot, Zhou Wei couldn't stop the ball even if he had the ability to reach the sky.
Shanghai SIPG's not-so-good chance attack resulted in a goal, and the Longteng team fell behind 0-1 at their home stadium.
After conceding the goal, Liming was very frustrated, in the last game against Hebei Huaxia Happiness, it was also because of his lack of concentration, resulting in the loss of a goal at the last moment, but in that game the Longteng team completely controlled the rhythm of the game, it didn't matter much if he lost a goal, and now his own goal has caused the score to fall behind, which has a big stake.
When Liming was blaming himself, there was another person who was even more unwilling, and that was Du Zhenyu.
As Zhang Sheng's support, the key training player, Du Zhenyu's gratitude to Zhang Sheng is indescribable, after Lu Zhihui was replaced in the last game, the team lost the ball has already embarrassed him a little, and now when the team needs him the most, he failed to keep, and he feels sorry for the coach's trust.
However, Du Zhenyu has one good thing, that is, he has strong mental strength, although he is a little anxious, he still comforts his teammates who are younger and more inexperienced than himself as soon as possible.
"It doesn't matter, Xiao Ming. It's normal to be nervous and have problems during the game, I was even more unbearable than you when I was sent on the pitch by the head coach to play, and I lost two games in one game. You are inexperienced now, and your position is a little wrong, then you will listen to me and Zhou Wei, and he and I will ask you to be in charge of whichever piece, you will be there. Do you know?" Du Zhenyu comforted Liming in a tone of a passer-by.
"Well, Brother Yu, I listen to you. Dawn seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and quickly nodded in agreement.
When the Longteng team's own players encouraged and adjusted each other, Duan Xuan was also criticizing Zhang Sheng's personnel arrangement: "Just now I was worried that these two central defenders were too young, and now they will concede the goal immediately. Coach Zhang is a little too big, the position of central defender is really not something that can be used casually for training, and it is estimated that there will be big problems in the back line of the Longteng team. ”
Zhou Ning has a different opinion: "Liming, this player is actually not bad, he is the absolute main central defender of the national junior team, and his performance in the Asian Junior Championship and the previous Panda Cup is very good." To be honest, this time on the court is indeed a special situation, insufficient preparation, if it is in the late game, Coach Zhang Sheng gives him enough arrangements, the situation should be much better. Now it's up to him to adjust to his best condition in time. ”
In the next game, Shanghai SIPG also thought that they had found the weakness of the Longteng team, and began to frequently raise high balls into the penalty area of the Longteng team, letting tall players like Yu Hai grab points, and at the same time let small players like Conca and Wu Lei grab the second point.
This style of play seems to be very effective, but it is actually not a big threat to the goal of the Longteng team, because Liming's arrangement of Du Zhenyu and Zhou Wei's two big brothers is to obey his words, let him guard against whoever he wants, he will stare at that person, and at this time his advantage of good physical fitness will be fully revealed.
Shanghai SIPG, as a team that attaches great importance to the combination of foot skills and passing and cutting, has an obvious weakness in the selection of players, that is, the players are generally not tall, and the physical fitness is not very good.
Their style of play has always relied on passing and running to find space, at most they add long passes to find behind the opponent, so they have always looked for foreign strikers like Haisen who are tall enough and physically strong enough to make up for the team's height and hardness in the forward line, which is why they will bring in Jian during the break in this league - he is taller and stronger than Haisen.
It's a pity that they are now in a window period of insufficient forward strength - in order to make room for Ji'an, Haisen was planned to be loaned to Liaoning Hongyun, and Shanghai SIPG simply did not register Haisen for this game.
When Liming stood firm, coupled with Du Zhenyu's physical fitness is also an extremely strong partner, Shanghai SIPG's frequent kicks to the Longteng team's penalty area looked like it had an impact on the Longteng team's penalty area, in fact, all the high balls were controlled by Liming, Du Zhenyu and Zhou Wei.
The attack of Shanghai and SIPG was all in vain.
