At the pre-match press conference, Zhang Sheng appeared very low-key, he kept emphasizing: "Now our team is a little difficult, there are a lot of injuries in the team, the opponent is now the leader of the K-League, and the form is also very good, but we will not be afraid of them, we will do our best to show our best form to take the points here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Ulsan Hyundai head coach Cho Min-kook is very confident: "I know that our opponents are the new talents in China, they have a lot of good players, and there are many world-class stars like Pato, I think we will take this game seriously, and winning is our only goal." ”

The speeches of the two people, Zhang Sheng gave people a feeling of inwardness, although he said that he wanted to take the points, but he obviously lacked confidence, while Cao Minguo was hiding a needle in the cotton, and on the surface he praised the Longteng team, but in fact, the last sentence said his actual thoughts, that is, to take all three points.

In fact, Zhang Sheng has a big performance component, because Zhang Sheng knows that Cao Minguo is a South Korean head coach who looks down on the Chinese Super League team. As one of the best 23 players of the 32 strongest national teams in history announced by FIFA - the South Korean national team, Cao Minguo's player era is very good, his qualifications in South Korea are also very old, in South Korea, which is very senior, Cao Minguo's temper is very proud, but in terms of coaching experience, his experience is not rich, before coaching Ulsan Hyundai, he has been leading South Korea's college team and low-level teams.

Historically, this season's AFC Champions League, Cho Min-guk led Ulsan Hyundai to victory in the first two games, and the third game was forced to draw by Guizhou Renhe at home, and once ranked first in the group. As a result, when Cao Minguo, who was very arrogant, challenged Guizhou Renhe away in the fourth game of the group stage, he sent no foreign aid, and most of the main players stayed in South Korea's lineup, which was basically dominated by Ulsan Hyundai's substitutes and young players, and they were defeated 3:1 by Guizhou Renhe at the Guizhou Guiyang Olympic Sports Center. I don't know who gave him the confidence to think that he was forced to draw at home and could win away from home with a substitute.

After the defeat, Cho Min-kook was asked in an interview with reporters who would qualify in this group, and he said: "I think the teams that will qualify in this group are still our Ulsan Hyundai and Kawasaki Frontale. ”

In the end, he was slapped in the face again, and after losing to Guizhou Renhe, Ulsan Hyundai lost to Western Sydney Wanderers and Kawasaki Frontale by consecutive big scores, and in the end they could only be eliminated as the third in the group.

So in the face of the team led by Cao Minguo, Zhang Sheng's plan is very clear, that is, to show weakness first, and then wait for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

At the pre-match tactical arrangement meeting, Zhang Sheng said to the players: "Are you confused about what I said before the game? Haha, that's just a way for me to show weakness, and now we have some difficulties, but I think we can overcome them. ”

Then Zhang Sheng began to make specific tactical arrangements, he said: "In this game, we need to focus on their striker Kim Shinyu. The player's recent form has been very hot. He has scored in all four games in the AFC Champions League and domestic league, and he scored 19 goals last season, tying Dejan as the K-League's top scorer. You have to be careful with this player who is in good form. ”

Kim Shin-wook is a powerful center forward that has emerged in Korean football in recent years. This 1.96 meters tall, 93 kilograms of super strong center forward in fact was not played in the forward position before, since he was a child, he has always been a central defender, due to the team's forward line at that time full of injuries, the team had to use his size advantage to play the center, the result was unexpected, especially in the AFC Champions League home and away defeat of the Chinese team Beijing Guoan, Jin Xinyu in the high point scramble to make the Beijing team at a loss.

After scoring 13 goals in the 2012 season to help Ulsan Hyundai win the AFC Champions League, he went on to excel in 2013 and finished the season by a landslide in winning the Most Valuable Player of the K-League, South Korea's top league. Kim received 90 out of a total of 113 media votes, overwhelmingly beating the other two candidates.

But Jang Seung knew that Kim Shin Wook's performance after this could only be said to be okay, and he never returned to the peak of the 2012 and 2013 seasons, the main reason was that his ability at his feet was too weak, and after transferring to Jeonbuk Hyundai, Kim Shin Wook was not able to show more improvement.

For the player's defense, Zhang Sheng feels that there is no problem with the central defenders in his team now, whether it is McGovern or Lu Zhihui, and Zhang Sheng is ready to play McGovern in this game, because McGovern's body is stronger and can withstand Kim Shinyu's header attack.

As for the defense against Ulsan Hyundai's other striker, Jang Seung is ready to hand it over to Ma Yongli.

Ulsan Hyundai is partnered with Kim Shin Wook in the front line is Raphinha, this is a super fast Brazilian player, this player who is just over 1.7 meters tall has a very strong ability to combine man and ball, and like most Brazilian players, his personal foot ability is very strong, in the 2012 season against Beijing Guoan in the AFC Champions League, Raphinha can be said to have completely blown up Guoan's wing.

Ulsan Hyundai's style of play is steady, focusing on steady defense and counterattacking. They have been one of the few teams with the best defense in the K-League. The offensive ability is not strong, but it is good at precision strikes. The scariest thing about this team is that they are good at spotting and catching the opponent's weaknesses, and then bombing them like crazy. Just like GPS, it locks on to the opponent's hinterland and continues to attack to attract the opponent's attention. Then deliver precision strikes to exhaust your opponent and collapse. At this point, they retreated silently, fought a protracted battle, and defended firmly. This is the main strategy of this team that has remained unchanged in recent years.

In terms of tactics, Cao Minguo's team tactics are also very simple, when playing counterattacks, relying on the rapid advance of the two wings, and then making a cross to let Jin Xinyu head the goal in the middle, when Jin Xinyu has no good chances, he takes the ball and ferries in the center position, divides the ball to the side to organize the second attack, and in the front or shadow forward position, they will put a team with good foot skills and strong long-range shooting ability to find the opponent's gap to score.

Once the opponent's midfield is strong, they will launch a long pass directly from the backfield, find Kim Shinyu at the front point, and use him as a fulcrum to attack. At the same time, set-pieces are one of their killer features, and Park Dong-hyuk at the back also has the ability to bombard the ball with headers and take advantage of opportunities to score.

In the face of such a style of play team, Zhang Sheng feels that it is the best to deal with, as long as the play of Kim Shin Wook is restricted, half of the team's offensive ability will be removed, after doing a good job of protecting the second point, Ulsan Hyundai's attack is basically no threat, and finally it is to concentrate on the set-piece, so that Ulsan Hyundai's attack will be completely wasted.

Without strong technical ability, they will not be able to face the most powerful weapons of the Chinese team - high-intensity pressing and strong aggression. The players of the Longteng team are generally players with strong foot ability, and this foot technique is not the static state of other Chinese players, but the foot technology that can be shown in the confrontation, so in dealing with the K League team This kind of average technical team, the Dragon Teng team is very advantageous, after all, South Korea's players with strong technical ability are basically playing in Europe.

Cao Minguo's speech in the dressing room before the game was very confident: "Our opponent today is a very young team, they don't have much experience in the AFC Champions League, and the confrontation ability is not strong, we just need to use our rich AFC Champions League experience, while maintaining the high degree of pressure and aggression against the Chinese team before, they can't organize an effective attack." The only thing you should pay attention to is their striker Pato, this is a very strong player, his individual ability can change the score at any time, the previous goals of the Longteng team have come to him, but he is not the kind of player with good body, as long as he cuts off the league with the midfield, he has no good chance to score without the ball. First of all, we will not use foreign reinforcements in this game, we have to let them know that our Korean players are good. ”

Sure enough, when getting the starting lists of both sides before the start of the game, Shao Shengyi of CCTV 5, who was in charge of the commentary, also said: "Before the game, we didn't hear that Ulsan Hyundai's foreign aid was injured, and they actually discharged the lineup of players from all over the country this time, it seems that they are very confident." ”

At the same time, when commenting on the starting lineup of the Longteng team, Shao Shengyi said: "Because of the injuries of Ivo and Shu Jun, the captain of the Longteng team in this game is Wen Kai who is on the forward line, and the replacement of Shu Jun is the teenager Xiao Yunfan, I don't know if the 20-year-old player who participated in the AFC Champions League for the first time can withstand the pressure of the other party." ”

After the start of the game, Ulsan Hyundai, who was the first to kick off, drove a high ball to the front court, and the position of the hit was the left side where Xiao Yunfan was. In this game, Zhang Sheng made full use of the advantage that Zhou Zhou and Xiao Yunfan could play on both sides, and put Xiao Yunfan on the left side, while Zhou Zhou went to play on the right side.

Zhang Sheng has his own reasons for doing this, because Zhang Sheng plays the strategy of defending first, so it is Yu Bo on the left road, and Xiao Yunfan's characteristics are strong offense and weak defense, so that Xiao Yunfan, who played the AFC Champions League for the first time, can adapt to the game first under the protection of Yu Bo's strong defensive ability, and at the same time, Xiao Yunfan and Yu Bo's advantage of playing together since childhood can also play a good role.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, in the face of Ulsan Hyundai's high-level pressing style of play, the Longteng team played very cautiously, and used their strong passing and receiving ability in the midfield and backfield to reverse their feet, and did not easily attack the frontcourt, which made the players and coaches of Ulsan Hyundai think that the Longteng team will focus on defense.
