In the case that the left side could not open the situation, Zhang Sheng could only let the team put the focus of the attack on the right side, Ding Huaiyi did not disappoint Zhang Sheng, and continuously created a threat on the right side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the eighty-fourth minute, Sun Xiang, who had been attacked by Ding Huaiyi for most of the game, was once again over, and as a last resort, he could only pull Ding Huaiyi to the ground.

At the end of the game, such a free kick is very important to any coach, and Ivo, who stands in front of the ball, also seems very serious, although he can't score directly on the wing, but once a good ball is passed, it is still very threatening, after all, it is equivalent to an unguarded bottom cross.

Guangzhou Evergrande obviously also knows the danger of this free kick, and the free kick defense problem has always been a heart disease of Guangzhou Evergrande, so in the Evergrande penalty area, there are a lot of people, in addition to Elkeson preparing to play a counterattack near the center circle, including Gilardino and Diamanti have returned to the penalty area to defend the header, after all, the header ability of the two of them is still very good.

Except for Roke Gill and Ma Yongli, the rest of the players were either ready to grab points in the penalty area or ready to fight for the second point at any time at the top of the arc of the penalty area.

In order to stand in a favorable position in the penalty area, the players on both sides are also pulling and pulling each other, at this time the experience of Evergrande players is reflected, when Yu Bo squeezed away Huang Bowen, Huang Bowen screamed and fell on it, and suddenly Evergrande's penalty area was in a panic, and the players on both sides quarreled emotionally.

Zhang Sheng hurriedly shouted to the court: "Don't waste time, concentrate!"

The referee also hurriedly came over and called Yu Bo and Huang Bowen to the side, and after warning both sides, they came to the outside of the penalty area again.

Ivo observed the situation in the penalty area, and directly hoisted the ball to the middle, after all, there are not many masters of headers in the Longteng team, and this time the Longteng team really grabbed the point, as the tallest player in the team except for the goalkeeper, McGovern jumped high and rubbed the ball, this ball was a backward attack, Zeng Cheng really didn't expect it, but he still stretched out his arm hard and touched the ball.

The ball bounced high, Feng Xiaoting, who was robbed of the second point, pushed out of the penalty area, and just fell to the position of Lin Feng outside the penalty area, Lin Feng shook Huang Bowen who came over to grab after a fake shot and real buckle action, and shot decisively, but unfortunately the people in the penalty area were still too dense, the ball hit the Evergrande player and bounced back, when Lin Feng was about to shoot again, the ball was kicked out of the sideline by Zheng Zhi with a big foot.

The acquisition of this free kick gave Zhang Sheng an opportunity, but when Zhang Sheng was about to increase the offensive on the right side, Lippi made a substitution, and he replaced Sun Xiang, who was obviously overwhelmed, and replaced it with the strong Li Xuepeng, which was obviously a signal to strengthen the defense on the left side.

After Li Xuepeng came on the court, he took advantage of his abundant physical strength and strong body to start fighting with Ding Huaiyi, although he was not as good as Ding Huaiyi in terms of ability, but the advantage of the latter was still very obvious.

Duan Xuan also affirmed Li Xuepeng: "In the face of Ding Huaiyi's attack, Li Xuepeng is very firm, no wonder Coach Lippi has always been optimistic about him." ”

Zhou Ning analyzed: "Li Xuepeng's ability is good, but Ding Huaiyi has played nearly the whole game, and he has not rested during this time, according to my opinion, Ding Huaiyi should go out to Europe to break through, with his talent should not stay in China, if he can play in Europe, with his technical ability, the future is very good." ”

Duan Xuan obviously likes Ding Huaiyi very much, and he fully agrees with Zhou Ning's words this time: "That's true, Ding Huaiyi played no worse on the right side of this game than Ben Alpha who had already left the game, Sun Xiang basically relied on pulling and dragging to stabilize, and in the end he was almost scored a goal by the Longteng team from the right side, and he still has a yellow card?"

"Yes, Sun Xiang just got a card, and Coach Lippi changed Sun Xiang because he was afraid that he would get the card again. Zhou Ning also said, "It depends on whether Ding Huaiyi can create a miracle." ”

As a top coach, how could Lippi give the Longteng team a chance, after the Longteng team's attack failed again, Lippi replaced Huang Bowen with Zhao Xuyang before the end of the game, and the defensive back replaced the offensive back, which was to hold the last few minutes.

And the referee's stoppage time was not long -- only three minutes, who made this game so smooth for both sides? This is probably a point that Zhang Sheng did not expect.

In the last three minutes, all the players of the Longteng team rushed to the front except for Ma Yongli standing alone in the middle circle, but in the face of the Evergrande players who were united, the offensive routine of the Longteng team to adjust the penalty area at 45 degrees was not easy, at this time Zhang Sheng missed Lu Zhihui incomparably, if Lu Zhihui was on the field now, the threat would be much greater.

Even Duan Xuan said: "Lu Zhihui is not here in this game, and Evergrande's nemesis is not there, which does have a lot of impact on the Longteng team." ”

"Indeed, if Lu Zhihui is there at this stage, with his super header ability, it is really difficult to say whether Evergrande can defend against it. Zhou Ning also made up for the Longteng team.

In the end, when the pass of the Longteng team was pushed out of the penalty area by the Evergrande players again, the referee glanced at the watch on his wrist and decisively blew the whistle at the end of the game, and the Longteng team could only end the game with a score of 1:1 in disappointment, and because their home stadium was beaten to 2:2, because of the lack of away goals, the first AFC Champions League journey of the Longteng team came to an abrupt end.

Compared with Guangzhou Evergrande, which was ecstatic and full of celebrations, the players of the Longteng team lowered their heads and looked dejected, and younger players such as Zhou Wei were full of tears in their eyes.

Several veteran players on the field, including Ivo and Wenkai, were comforting their teammates.

Zhang Sheng also couldn't get to comfort the players one by one on the field, when he saw Zhou Wei, who was usually grinning, crying, Zhang Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "You performed very well in this game, don't cry, relatively crying, I prefer to see you laugh, as long as you perform well like this, victory will be pulled back by us sooner or later, you are still young, there is a chance." ”

After saying this, Zhang Sheng pushed him again and said: "Go to your captain, this time there are a lot of fans who have followed us all the way to watch the game, they are the most comforting, go and pay tribute to the captain, with their support, we will go further next time." ”

Zhou Wei nodded and said in a choked voice: "I know the coach, I'll go over now." ”

Then the players of the Longteng team, under the leadership of captain Shu Jun, walked hand in hand to the stands where the fans of the Longteng team gathered and bowed to them deeply.

Many Longteng fans in the stands also had tears in their eyes at this time, seeing their beloved players come to bow and comfort themselves, many fans did not even wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes, or stretched out their hands, or raised the club scarves in their hands with both hands to respond to the players.

Some fans shouted: "You guys are good, come on!"

Some fans chanted the names of their favorite players.

More fans shouted the team's name and cheered, and finally the fans' voices were unified, and everyone shouted the slogan "Longteng, come on, Longteng team, come on".

It wasn't until the players of the Dragons bowed and left again that these lovely fans slowly exited the stadium.

And the two commentators of the game are making their closing remarks about the game.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Duan Xuan said: "Congratulations to Guangzhou Evergrande, the game is over, although they did not win this game, only drew 1:1, but they advanced in the two legs of the AFC Champions League 1/4 finals, with the advantage of more away goals, this is also the third time they have reached the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, and it is also the final of the East Asian zone, I hope they will make persistent efforts to continue to move forward and obtain higher honors for Chinese football and the club." At the same time, we also want to give a thumbs up to the Longteng team, although they were eliminated, but to get to this point, it is not easy, as a new team in the AFC Champions League, but also a promotion horse in the Super League, the first time to participate in the AFC Champions League, you can go to the 1/4 finals, very rare, at the same time they are in the Super League, in the FA Cup is not without the possibility of further progress. ”

After breathing a sigh of relief, Duan Xuan continued: "They are a very young team, the club is young, the head coach is young, the players are also very young, they are the lowest average age team in the Chinese Super League, and the lowest average age team in the AFC Champions League, young means unlimited possibilities, as long as they can maintain the spirit of being young and not afraid of losing, I am optimistic about their future!"

Zhou Ning also took over and said: "That's true, at the same time, we must also see that the Longteng team came to this point when the core of the midfield was absent in the early stage, and the main striker was injured later, that is to say, the absence of foreign aid does not affect them so much, because they have a group of very good domestic players in the team, which is worthy of our joy, and they also represent the future of Chinese football." ”

Finally, Duan Xuan concluded: "That's true, here we thank again the two teams that presented a classic battle for our Chinese fans tonight, next to the audience, all the fans, good night!"

When Lippi led the players to accept the tsunami of the home fans, Zhang Sheng took the team back to the locker room, because of the loss, the players seemed very depressed, everyone hung their heads, no one spoke, and directly and silently sorted out their things.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help frowning, this atmosphere is not conducive to future competitions.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Sheng clapped his hands and focused everyone's attention, and after looking around at the players, he saw that several young players still had red eyes, and they had obviously just cried.

After Zhang Sheng saw that everyone was looking at him, he said in a deep voice: "I know that it is not good to lose, but this is professional football, there will be people who will win, but there will always be people who will lose, unfortunately, it is we who lost today." ”

"But. As soon as the voice changed, Zhang Sheng also raised his tone and said, "Losing is only temporary, think about your age, and then look at your opponents, we are not short of ability, nor lack of opportunities, what we lack is experience, experience not only has the laughter of success, but also the tears of failure, but as long as we work hard, we will not regret it, we are a young team, failure will only give us more motivation, let us continue to fight." ”

"For us, the AFC Champions League is over, but there is still the Chinese Super League, there is still the FA Cup waiting for us, maybe we will succeed later, maybe we will fail, but life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next piece will taste like. If we don't fight, who knows what will be waiting for us later?" Zhang Sheng said slowly.

After a pause, Zhang Sheng said: "Professional football is like this, forget about this defeat, we can't fall into the mood of failure forever, our goal is always to play the next game, because it is true that our next game is also very important." When the next league game is over, everyone will have a good holiday, and then everyone will have a good rest. ”

Finally, Zhang Sheng said: "There is one more thing, that is, I have always been a man of words, I said before the game, no matter what the result is, as long as everyone works hard to play well in this game, I will invite everyone to a big meal, talk about it, what do you want to eat, don't be afraid to eat poor me, isn't it always said that I am the richest coach in the Super League? They are right, I am the rich second generation!"

Zhang Sheng's self-deprecating words made the players laugh, and everyone quickly sorted out their emotions and began to discuss what to eat, but everyone was obviously more restrained, after all, it was still in the middle of the league, and everyone was very cautious in terms of diet, and finally Zhang Sheng had to push the dinner party to the end of the season.

When the team's bus came out of Tianhe Stadium, there were still many Longteng team fans gathered outside the stadium, and when everyone saw the team's bus, they all gave a thumbs up, and some fans waved their scarves in their hands.

Seeing this group of fans who were still waiting outside the stadium so late, Zhang Sheng was very moved, it is these lovely fans that can make Chinese professional football that has been groping in the dark, in a shouting and scolding, to forge ahead, which is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Sheng is willing to devote himself to football.

Zhang Sheng also said to the players in the bus: "See, these fans are the motivation for us to continue to move forward. ”

Hearing Zhang Sheng's words, it seems that all the players' eyes are shining with dazzling light, sometimes, football is so pure, and the pay and return are always equal.

Seeing the glint in the players' eyes, Zhang Sheng smiled with relief.
