Of course, now Zhang Sheng is more grateful to Perlan, because of his lineup adjustment, against the Maldives, many Longteng players in the Chinese team did not play, which is about to rekindle the fire of the Chinese Super League, the AFC Champions League Longteng team is of great help, and the players can have more physical energy to cope with these games.

However, the Longteng team in the national team is relaxed, and the Longteng players in the national youth team are unlucky, after defeating the Uzbekistan national youth team in the first game, the national youth team with the Longteng team as the team defeated the Japanese national youth team 1:0, plus the last game 3:1 defeated the Syrian national youth team, so that the national youth team won the championship of the Four Nations Invitational Tournament with three consecutive wins, and the players of the Longteng team basically played the whole game.

Fortunately, these Longteng players who played three games returned to the team without illness, even after the last game on September 11 and the Syrian national youth team, the players of the Longteng team were never able to catch up with the Chinese Super League Longteng team away to challenge Guangzhou R&F on September 13, Zhang Sheng still secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is no injury, physical problems, just rest and rest.

Because of the emergence of the Longteng team, the history of the Chinese Super League has changed a lot, Guangzhou R&F, which has always been a strong challenger to the AFC Champions League qualification in history, failed to qualify for the AFC Champions League once, and they have also been introducing reinforcements to the initiator of this goal.

Judging from Ivo's performance alone, they have really taken a good step in this step, Ivo has given R&F a great help in the front field with his ability, and he can get good results in the games he participates in, as long as he faces teams in the middle and lower reaches of the ranking.

It's a pity that when facing the top teams, they finally know why the Dragons transferred Ivo out, because Ivo's thigh level ends there.

In this match against the Dragons, it was possible to see both Ivo's ability and his limitations.

In this game, the Longteng team was a little lacking in physical fitness because most of the players participated in the national team's events, and the group of the national youth team could not play, and the team had to stay for the AFC Champions League three days later, so Zhang Sheng's lineup was not very neat.

On the front line, Nie Jiang did not play, Zou Weijia was in front, Pato was replaced by Chavez as the starter, and the midfield and backfield were rotated, Du Zhenyu, Zhang Hao, Xiong Jian and others all started the game.

Ivo played well at the start against such a semi-main and semi-rotating Longteng team, and he gave his team the lead with a beautiful shot in the 32nd minute of the first half.

But in the second half, Guangzhou R&F's overall lack of strength was very weak, especially after 20 minutes in the second half, the Longteng team that attacked with all its strength made R&F take care of one or the other, and Ivo was stared at very hard, and finally in the 35th minute of the second half, the Longteng team relied on Chavez's goal to equalize the score.

In the 42nd minute of the second half, the Longteng team took advantage of Ben Alfa's breakthrough to win a penalty in the penalty area, but unfortunately Ben Alfa's own penalty was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, and the Longteng team wasted the opportunity to overtake the score.

In the end, Guangzhou R&F narrowly drew with Longteng at their home stadium, and with five rounds of the league remaining, their points were no longer enough to qualify for the AFC Champions League.

However, they forced the Longteng team to give the last glimmer of hope to the city's rivals Guangzhou Evergrande, Evergrande won 0:3 in the away game against the AFC Champions League qualifiers Shanghai SIPG, and the whole game was full of morale, and also narrowed the gap between them and the Longteng team to 12 points.

In addition, Guangzhou Evergrande will go to challenge the Longteng team away in the next round, once it wins again, and the Longteng team is in a continuous slump as a whole, maybe there is still hope for the league championship.

After all, the Longteng team will continue to play against the second-to-last Tianjin TEDA, the third-to-last Chongqing Lifan and the third-ranked Beijing Guoan, the first two in order to retain the qualification of the Chinese Super League, desperately is certain, the latter is only one point more than the fourth and fifth ranked Shanghai SIPG and Shandong Luneng, for the qualification of the AFC Champions League, needless to say, it will definitely come up with 100% effort.

Of course, all this must be based on the premise that Guangzhou Evergrande defeats the Longteng team away from home, so the next game of the Longteng team against Guangzhou Evergrande has really become the last game of the season.

However, before this game to end the suspense of the league championship, both Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande must complete another extremely important game - the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, that is, the second leg of the East Asian semifinals.

Whether it is against Longteng or Guangzhou Evergrande, there is good news that they are all in the first leg of the away game with a big win, and in the second leg at home, everyone can treat it with an extremely peaceful mentality, and the pressure will be much less.

Soon on September 15, Guangzhou Evergrande ended their game first, they drew 1-1 with Bai Sun God at their home stadium, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, and then it will be up to the Longteng team.

On September 16, Jeonbuk Hyundai came to Jiangcheng in a very low-key manner, and head coach Choi Kang-hee was still humble at the beginning when he was interviewed by reporters: "The away game is very difficult to play, and the score of the first leg makes us very passive. ”

However, soon Choi Kang-hee showed his tenacity: "However, the score of 0:3 is not the end of the world, and we will do our best to fight for promotion." ”

As the captain of the team, Kwon Chun-tae also said: "For the sake of the dignity of the team, this game will be our revenge battle, and I think a score of 4:0, 5:0 is also possible." ”

And Zhang Sheng did this to his team: "Don't take it lightly because of the first leg of the game. No matter where the game is, whether it is the AFC Champions League or the Champions League, there are not a few teams that have won the first leg and then fell in the second leg. In the 2012 season, Guangzhou Evergrande swept Jeonbuk Hyundai 5:1 away, and in the second leg at their home stadium, they lost the game 1:3. Although it was only the group stage, but in terms of the scores of these two games alone, Guangzhou Evergrande is very dangerous. As for the second leg of the Champions League game, there are a lot of them, I think AC Milan was 4-1 at home, and then 0-4 away by Deportivo La Coruna, which has become the talk of people for many years, and AC Milan will always be the side that is ridiculed in this conversation, I don't think you want to be a laughing stock when people talk about the AFC Champions League game many years later. ”

When Zhang Sheng's lecture, the players below listened very seriously, and the first to express his position was Lin Feng, the captain of the team: "Coach." We won't be careless, we don't want to lose to the Korean team, you just look at our performance. ”

Zhang Sheng nodded and said: "I don't want to lose any opponent, not just the Korean team." Victory is the only goal we pursue in our game, no matter who we are against!"

When it came time to be interviewed by reporters, Zhang Sheng also behaved very seriously: "Jeonbuk Hyundai is a very strong team. The score from the last leg doesn't mean anything to this game and we're going to give 100 per cent to try to win the game. ”

Zhang Sheng's words are not false, even if there is an extremely important Chinese Super League to play in three days, Zhang Sheng still sent his strongest lineup.

The tridents on the front line all made their debuts, Tao Wentao in the midfield, Lin Feng and Gallok Gill also started, except for Zhou Zhou on the back line who was replaced by Wei Zhimin, the other players were all players in the first round, and Wei Zhimin's purpose to replace Zhou Zhou was also very clear, that is, to transfer Xiao Yunfan to the right side, let him and Wei Zhimin fly together, and give Jeonbuk Hyundai more pressure.

When it came time for the official game, the players of the Dragons team really fulfilled their promise.

From the first minute of the opening game, the Longteng team's high pressing and full-court pressing tactics were executed very well, and the two full-backs also frequently stepped forward to assist, burning the fire to the opponent's half.

Jeonbuk Hyundai didn't want to defend from the beginning of the game, they also desperately attacked the defense line of the Longteng team at the beginning, and in this game they seemed to be not afraid of eating cards, and they began to foul in the front court, and the Longteng players who passed the midfield frequently used unconventional actions, obviously they wanted to overwhelm the Longteng team in momentum.

In the third minute of the first half, Lin Feng just received a pass from Roque Gil, and was kicked to the supporting leg by the forward Li Geunho, a forward who rushed over to defend, and the counterattack of the Longteng team was interrupted.

Lee Geun-ho, who committed the foul, apparently didn't take the foul seriously, didn't apologize, and left the place where the foul occurred.

In fact, it is very normal to foul on the football field, whether it is intentional or unintentional, the foul player must at least show something, or pat the opposing player who fell to the ground, or pull the opposing player up and pat the shoulder to apologize, which is the basic performance of game morality, but now his actions are obviously not only for fouling, but also with a provocative meaning.

Lin Feng was extremely dissatisfied with this foul, he stood up and signaled to the referee, but unfortunately the Australian referee who enforced the game did not say anything, but just urged the Longteng team to kick off quickly.

As a "veteran" on the field, Lin Feng obviously knew the referee's penalty scale.

As the captain, he hurriedly sent a message to his teammates, telling them to be careful of the black hand of the referee and protect themselves at any time.

Sure enough, in the fifth minute, Ben Alpha broke through with the ball on the side, and the opponent's right forward Han Jiaoyuan continued to squeeze him with his body, and at the same time, his feet kept hooking Ben Alpha's ball.

At this time, Zhang Sheng happened to be on the sideline, he saw Han Jiaoyuan's foul action clearly, and hurriedly protested to the fourth official on the sidelines, wanting to put pressure on the other party and let the head coach show a yellow card.

Unexpectedly, the fourth official didn't dick Zhang Sheng at all, and the referee just came over to let the Longteng team kick off, and Han Jiaoyuan didn't receive any warning.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Sheng also knew that the referee was trying to do something, so he quickly gestured to Wei Zhimin and signaled him to be more resolute.

Because of Jeonbuk Hyundai's players, although the offensive rhythm of the Longteng team was frequently interrupted, such fouls were extremely reckless, and once the action was made, the person was completely out of position, and the defense of the secondary attack was full of holes.

Sure enough, in the tenth minute of the first half, Wei Zhimin's forward insertion had an effect.

Ben Alpha's attack on the left flank once again attracted the defense of Kim Ki-hee and Lee Jae-seong, who teamed up to squeeze Ben Alpha to the touchline, while Lee Jae-seong kept coming out to grab the ball from Ben Alpha's feet.

This time Ben Alpha did quite smartly, and when Lee Jae-seong kicked again, a beautiful back-heel knock handed the ball to Wei Zhimin, who was inserted, and he was brought down by Lee Jae-seong's foot just after the ball, which was also a clear foul.

However, Wei Zhimin was already able to impact the penalty area after receiving a pass from Ben Alpha, and this game was replaced by Kim Hyung-yi's suspension, and the 33-year-old veteran hurriedly came over to defend Wei Zhimin.

Wei Zhimin played the spirit of the young player's newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers at this time, and suddenly started to accelerate under the pressure of Zhao Xingheng, forcibly overtook and entered the Jeonbuk Hyundai penalty area, and Zhao Xingheng, who ran with him, had to pull him down behind him.

Zhao Xingheng's foul was too obvious, and the Australian referee could not even give such a foul, so he had to award a penalty to the Longteng team, but Zhao Xingheng escaped the yellow card.

It should be said that this penalty is very questionable, there is no doubt that the obvious foul in the penalty area is a yellow card, if it is a passive penalty, such as a defensive player being beaten by the ball, the referee can discretion not to pay a yellow card, but such an active pull foul does not give a card, it can only be said that either the referee's level is low, or the referee is on the field with a task.

However, on the field, the referee's decision is the final result, and the players of the Longteng team can only give up after protesting.

As the team's top scorer, Pato also knows how to vent his own teammates, he calmly stood at the starting point, a change in rhythm after a run, so that Kwon Chun-tae completely misjudged the direction, the football quickly drilled into the net, the Longteng team led the score 1:0, and also expanded the total score of the two legs to 4:0.

He Wei, who was in charge of the commentary, also admired Zhang Sheng's personnel adjustment: "Before the game, we were worried that the two strong and weak fullbacks would leave any hidden dangers to the game, but now it seems that this adjustment has had an effect, and the right side of Jeonbuk Hyundai, which has been hit hard by Ben Alpha, can't withstand Wei Zhimin's attack at all, and Jeonbuk Hyundai is now too passive." ”
