Zhang Sheng sent Cao Jinghao to another level of consideration, that is, to strengthen the long pass.

In the past two years, the Longteng team has always adhered to the high and middle pressing style of play, and it is easy to encounter the situation that it cannot be penetrated by relying on a small range of passes, so another way of pressing - directly hitting the opponent's defense behind the long pass, and then the striker implements high-intensity hunting has become another option.

Especially once Nie Jiang leaves, the personal ability on the front line has obviously declined, and relying on more runs to find opportunities in a wide range has become a necessary means, and at the same time, making full use of the diagonal long pass with the width of the ball is also a very sharp offensive move, and Cao Jinghao's long pass advantage can be maximized here.

Now is a good time to experiment with this tactic.

Unlike the Dragons, Tavaan Sripan's regular style of play is a 4-4-2 diamond midfield position, and his goal is clear: to compress the opposition's middle, attract the opposition's defence, leave access to the wings, and make the most of the assist capabilities of the two full-backs.

However, the defensive holes of the diamond-shaped position of the 4 defenders and 4 midfielders are not small, and although there is space on their wings, there is also space on the opponent's wings.

After Cao Jinghao came on the field, his long pass focused on two wings, and whether it was Ni Kai on the left or Huang He on the right, his height and weight were completely crushing Meng Tonglian's two wings with a figure of only 1.7 meters.

In the 25th minute of the second half, Cao Jinghao's long pass accurately found Tristan Du's defensive area, and the latter made a fatal mistake - he actually rose to the top, Ni Kai seized this rare opportunity and went straight into the penalty area.

Facing the goalkeeper who sealed the angle and the central defender who leaned over, Ni Kai gave full play to his flexibility at his feet, and flashed the angle of the shot after continuously plucking the ball horizontally, and hit it directly into the far corner.

Meng Tonglian's goalkeeper is just over 1.8 meters tall at this time has become a double-edged sword, his height is not high, his movement is very flexible, and he is fast on the ground, so he can pounce on Ni Kai's shot in the far corner, but his height is not high, and his arm span is not long, so he can only touch the ball, and cannot hit the ball in the direction he wants.

The operation of the goalkeeper in the penalty area to pounce and then hit the ball to the center of the penalty area is very dangerous, like this time the faster Yellow Crane inserted into the penalty area more resolutely, and the football happened to fall in front of him, without any hesitation, the Yellow Crane ate the pie that fell from the sky - his push sent the football into the empty goal, and the Longteng team overtook the score.

Ni Kai's shot, Tamsa Chanan saved, Huang He's supplementary shot, the ball scored, this was his first goal in the AFC Champions League this season, and the Longteng team took the lead in the 70th minute. There is indeed a gap in strength between the two sides. Shi Qingsheng maintained a startled explanation, and suddenly shouted in an octave of voice.

Next to him, Lu Jingming continued his steady speech: "This goal of the Longteng team is a connection between the two wingbacks, and both of them are in the penalty area, which shows the strength of the Longteng team's attack." ”

After taking the lead, the Longteng team played more freely, because Meng Tonglian replaced both wings, and the defense was certainly a lot more stable, but the attack was even more lackluster.

In the 37th minute of the second half, Fernando's breakthrough caused Montontin to foul him in the box, and the referee awarded a penalty to the Dragons, and everyone knew that the game was almost like that. Sure enough, Fernando scored the penalty he created by himself to expand the score to 1:3, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the outcome.

Zhang Sheng, who was relieved, also took the opportunity to replace Qi Ming and Lu Yangyang and began to prepare for the league three days later.

When the Longteng team returned home, it came back with an easy three points, which ensured the team's first place in the AFC Champions League group stage, making the final round of the game an inconsequential exhibition match.

Looking at Guangzhou Evergrande, which is now ranked fourth in the league because of the short preparation time before the season, physical fitness and state fluctuations, and then look at Jiangsu Suning, which ranks last in the league due to insufficient experience and preparation for multi-line operations, a respite is too important.

Of course, the Longteng team can maintain the two blossoms of the league and the AFC Champions League, which is related to its strong bench thickness, such as returning to China to play the league this time, and the other three Chinese Super League teams that have just finished the AFC Champions League can only rotate players in one or two positions - because the gap between the substitute and the starting strength is too large, while the Longteng team rotates four players in one go, including even one foreign aid.

Considering that Chavez has played all the whole game since the season, although it is an away game against the powerful Huaxia Happiness, Zhang Sheng still let him rest, and the young player Tang Jin's ability to play the ball has been recognized by Zhang Sheng, and he continues to start with Nie Jiang; Ni Kai was replaced by De Paul, who rested for a game; Xiang Tiange replaced Huang He and returned to the starter; Zeng Fanfang, who had a stronger attack, occupied the starting position of Qu Wenming.

Even Dong Lu, who commented on the game, said: "Look at the players rotated by the Longteng team, except for a certain difference in playing style, there is no gap in overall strength. And the team maintained the flow of the original tactics. ”

Seeing that although it was an away game, the Longteng team that flew back to China three days ago was playing against the home team Hebei Huaxia Happiness, Li Xin also said: "Indeed. Pei Shuai (Pellegrini) has been promoting his concept of beautiful football since the first day he came to China to coach, and the club has also given him great support, introducing high-level foreign aid such as Ravic, Mbia, Hernanes, and domestic aid is also frequently sold at a high price. ”

"Let's take a look at the ball first. On the field, the Longteng team played a high-quality attack, and Dong Lu also hurriedly took over and explained, "Zeng Prosperity received this pass from Qi Ming, and even stopped and wore Mbia's crotch, and was divided to the left side, De Paul plugged in at high speed, cut horizontally, and shot directly with his feet, beautiful! The ball went in, De Paul's shot, in the twelfth minute of the first half, the Longteng team took the lead away from home. ”

"Oh my God, it was a beautiful goal. This offense went from the back to the goal, in one go, and the shot that was the key to receiving the ball and adding the ball in the middle was the key. Li Xin also shouted loudly, "What is beautiful football, this is beautiful football." ”

In fact, at the beginning of the season, Peigong had already said that the first goal is to win the game, the second is to play beautiful football, and the third is to strive for more goals. Dong Lu reminded Li Xin, "I just didn't expect that it would not be easy to win the game now." ”

After the goal, the Longteng team did not stop their offensive, continued to press the opponent, hoping to make persistent efforts to score the second goal, but Mbiya, who had been teased by the gear before, was obviously stimulated, this powerful B2B foreign aid midfielder played a great role, Hebei Huaxia Happiness used to form a 4-1-4-1, and now Mbiya alone has supported the position of the back waist, and the ability is really not to say.

"Huaxia Happiness still has the strength here. Dong Lu sighed, "But they rely too much on the play of foreign aid." You see that before Mbia was not in form, the team conceded goals, and now that the form is up, the team is a completely different situation. ”

Zhang Sheng had a plan for such a situation, and in the face of the crazy sweep of the Mbia midfield, the Longteng team quickly arranged a defensive trap.

Before the game, the coaching staff of the Longteng team made very detailed arrangements, and in view of the grand strategic goal of Huaxia Happiness wanting to score points at home, the characteristics of Mbia's B2B attributes like to rush up have long been known.

After losing the first goal, Huaxia Happiness behaved very toughly, even if the Longteng team resolutely pressed forward, it was still withstood by the Huaxia Happiness who was determined to win, and the three former Longteng team players, Zhu Xuhe, Yao Tian and Wei Zhimin showed the ability to cooperate with foreign aids, and in the case of the Longteng team taking the initiative to retreat, the Longteng team was pressed to attack.

The team played with momentum against the league leaders, and a large number of fans who came to watch the game also gave a shocking cheer, after all, the team gave a promise to enter the AFC Champions League at the beginning of the season.

Huaxia Happiness is playing lively, Dong Lu and Li Xin are also constantly cheering for them, and every good pass and shot will be encouraged.

But including Lavic, it is difficult for Huaxia Happiness to pose much substantial threat to the goal of the Longteng team, and he and "Bison" Aloisio's combination seems to be a superior technique and an impactful one, but the actual situation is that Ravitch passed the first person, not the second, and even if he passed the second, he couldn't pass the third, because the player who received him was far inferior to the players of the Longteng team in running without the ball and standing ability, in addition, Aloisio was very desperate, but unfortunately he really couldn't carry Lu Zhihui and Dawn physically.

Coupled with Lu Yangyang's spare effort to check and fill in the gaps in the backfield, most of Huaxia Happiness's offense stayed in the place where he had just entered the 30-meter area, and the only two threats were from Ravitch's long-range shots on the periphery - he got two corners for Huaxia Happiness, and in the corner kick tactics, Mbia's header ability was reflected, and he grabbed the point from both corners, and also formed an attack, although under the interference of the Longteng players, the threat was not great.

Relying on the attackers alone could not open the situation, and Mbiya, as a defender, began to plug in with a wave of Peigong's big hand.

After Mbiya inserted, he was a big threat to the defense of the Longteng team, his hardness can be said to be the strongest of the two teams on the field, Lu Yangyang's defense in the middle was extremely difficult, and he had to use fouls to stop him, and the result was that in the first half of the thirty-seven minutes, Lu Yangyang received a yellow card, which was his third yellow card this season.

"Xiaolu is still a little thinner, and he can't eat Mbiya's body at all. Dong Lu is also worried about Lu Yangyang.

"After all, he's not yet 18 years old, and I looked at it, and his birthday is May 6th, which happens to be the day of the Dragons next weekend. Li Xin introduced Lu Yangyang's situation, "To be honest, he is very similar to Bai Jiajun in the Shenhua team, he is considered to have developed relatively early among domestic players, height, weight, bounce, and he is better than most players very early, but unfortunately, he has not grown much in the past two years." ”

"It's still too young. Dong Lu's words were full of expectations, "But the Longteng team is a team that never hesitates to give young people opportunities, I hope he can play more games and grow up quickly, and there are fewer and fewer players with distinctive characteristics like him in modern football." ”

The commentators were talking, and Zhang Sheng had to deal with the prognosis brought by the yellow card. Lu Yangyang is still going to fight against Mbia, which is obviously not a good choice, so simply let the premise of dawn and Lu Yangyang drag it out, so that there is also an advantage that Lu Yangyang's space for the ball becomes larger.

In fact, this is Zhang Sheng's real positioning for Lu Yangyang - dragging back central defender + central defender - but he is not strong enough now, for fear that he will be easily squeezed away by the opponent in the position of dragging back.

Compared with Lu Yangyang, who is only 1.73 meters tall, Liming is different. The nearly one-meter-tall centre-back has a strong body, is more than a year older than Lu Yangyang, and has a lot of game experience, and it will be much more difficult for Mbiya to rampage in front of the Longteng penalty area.

In the forty-second minute of the first half, Mbia stepped forward again to the front, Ravic came to pick him up, but Lu Zhihui stabbed the ball down with a kick in advance this time, and then leaned on Ravitch with his back and handed the ball to Lu Yangyang, who accurately found Xiang Tiange on the side with a big foot, and the Longteng team took advantage of the mentality of Huaxia Happiness to attack and played a counterattack.

If it was a few minutes earlier, this counterattack of the Longteng team would be fine, three foreign aides came up, and there were domestic players to help wipe their butts, and it was a big deal to eat a card with a foul.

But at this time of the game, physical fitness has become another bottleneck that limits play, the Longteng team, which has strong ball control ability and more physical fitness, grabbed this weakness at once, and Xiang Tiange faced his Longteng team's old-timer Wei Zhimin made a raw ball action, and Wei Zhimin was obviously not well prepared, and when he wanted to make defensive moves, the lack of physical fitness caused by going back and forth on the side before brought bad results - he was forced to pass.

In the last game, Huang He's goal in the AFC Champions League gave Xiang Tiange a great sense of crisis, this time he encountered the opportunity to dribble into the penalty area without defense, how could he let it go, facing Ren Hang who rushed over to defend, and the old goalkeeper Yang Cheng who blocked the near corner and near post, Xiang Tiange shot without hesitation.

Xiang Tiange's shot was so bold that he was still observing the Yang Cheng of Tang Jin and Nie Jiang in the middle of the road with his residual vision, and Xiang Tiange's shot with this explosive shot directly passed through the hands raised by the Yang Cheng to intercept, and flew into the net nest by grazing the lintel!

A sharp counterattack by the Dragons extended the score, and it was 0:2 before the end of the first half.
