With the referee's whistle, the first half of the game between Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande ended, and the score was fixed at 1:1.

Liu Jianhong also summed up the half: "After 45 minutes, the two sides were tied. In general, in the home stadium of the Dragons, the home team still has a certain advantage. ”

"I think the two sides are evenly matched. Huang Jianxiang expressed his opinion, "The tactics of the Longteng team itself are to press from a high position, press with the whole court, and focus on attack. Guangzhou Evergrande's side is playing smarter, that is, playing defensive counterattacks. Therefore, it is inevitable that the Dragon Teng team will have the advantage of the scene. The score of 1:1 also represents that Guangzhou Evergrande's tactics have achieved the results they want. Of course, with the start of the second half. Playing at home, the Dragons, whose average age is much lower, may have an increasing advantage. At that time, it will depend on the efficiency of Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack. ”

"Then let's expect the two sides to play in the second half. Liu Jianhong also made a half-time summary.

When the commentator was analyzing, in the locker room of the home team, Zhang Sheng also hurriedly arranged the second half.

"In the first half, I was basically satisfied. Zhang Sheng first gave a simple conclusion, and then asked a question, "But... I would say we can play smarter. ”

"What I told before the game was to win and play what we were training for. But I want all of you players on the pitch to use your brains all the time. Zhang Sheng pointed to his head, "In the game, you know best how your own physical fitness is, so you should make a decisive judgment on when to adopt tactics that suit your physical fitness." ”

"Ma Yongli. You're the captain and the libero at the back. You have more time to observe your teammates on the field. How to grasp the rhythm of the game, your teammates didn't react, you should tell everyone as soon as possible. Zhang Shengshu made targeted instructions.

Ma Yongli nodded obediently.

In fact, Zhang Sheng was also secretly reflecting on his previous strategy of selling people - selling the captain and several vice captains.

The captain of a team does not only rely on performance on the field, but sometimes also takes into account seniority, prestige in the team, and even personal communication skills.

The Longteng team's constant selling of the captain led to the team's game, once there was a need to adjust and change, everyone was a little at a loss.

Because of the frequent captain changes, not only the new captain needs to adapt, but the other players also need to adapt.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng remembered his previous promise to the team's vice captain Lu Zhihui - as long as he does not propose to leave the team, he will always have a place. After Zhou Zhou has confirmed that he is leaving, Lu Zhihui is the preferred candidate for captain, and it seems that his choice will be adhered to.

In the dressing room on the other side, Scolari did not make any adjustments to the team, but kept cheering everyone on and making everyone stick to the way they played in the first half, and obviously he was very satisfied with the score in the first half.

After the start of the second half, the Longteng team, who had recovered their physical strength, sacrificed the crazy pressing at the beginning of the game.

Zou Weijia was very obedient this time, he no longer thought about how to score, but desperately scramble in the front court, for the ball that came over, as a center forward, he did not force to turn around, but quickly transferred the ball, and then ran to attract the attention of Evergrande's defense or to respond.

The activity of the center forward not only made Evergrande's side feel difficult, but even the two commentators noticed this point of the Longteng team.

"Zou Weijia played much better than in the first half. In the first half, he was more in the struggle with the Evergrande backline, and it can be seen that he played hard, but the effect was not good. Huang Jianxiang has obviously been paying attention to Zou Weijia, "In the second half, Coach Zhang Sheng should have made arrangements and played much smarter." He has a good ability to hold the ball with his back, and he is also very good at making balls. Evergrande has to find a way to control this point. ”

Liu Jianhong also said: "The Longteng team has always had a tradition of being a center forward. And what they value most about a center forward is the ability to play the ball. Of course, a goal scorer like Chavez is better. This is also characteristic of the modern center. In addition to Zou Weijia, who is just over 20 years old on the field, they also have a 17-year-old national youth, the main center of the national youth Wang Xing, who is also a center player with a height of more than 1.9 meters, not only has strong ball ability, but also has strong header ability. ”

"Wang Xing has also had the experience of playing this season. Huang Jianxiang can be regarded as having done his homework, "The young player reserve of the Longteng team is really good." ”

In the praise of Zou Weijia by the two commentators, the Longteng team played a beautiful attack.

In the eighth minute of the second half, in the face of Ben Alfa's long pass on the right side, Zou Weijia jumped after holding Jin Yingquan, and the collision between the two in the air, Zou Weijia occupied an absolute advantage, his header returned to Tao Wentao, and also made Jin Yingquan's center of gravity unstable after landing, and he couldn't go back to chase Zou Weijia in the running position for the first time, and Zheng Zhi, who came back from defense, had to follow him.

Zou Weijia's header made Tao Wentao very comfortable, and the latter's non-stop ball went straight to Nie Jiang, Nie Jiang ran to the position, but the shot was too strong, and the ball flew off the crossbar.

"Nie Jiang's shot. Oops, alas. Liu Jianhong shouted loudly, "This opportunity is too rare." ”

"I just said that Evergrande must find a way to prevent Zou Weijia. This time it was his ball-making attack. Huang Jianxiang looked like I had expected it a long time ago, "Evergrande can consider Shangmei Fang." ”

Although Nie Jiang's shot did not score, it gave the Longteng team great encouragement, and the players on the field fought and pressed more and more, causing Guangzhou Evergrande to play extremely embarrassed.

In the eleventh minute of the second half, Paulinho wanted to organize an attack in the middle of the midfield, he first relied on his body to squeeze Tao Wentao, and then wanted to pass the ball, but seeing that his teammates were basically pressed by the players of the Longteng team, he simply chose to break through with the ball by himself.

Perhaps in the Brazilian team, Paulinho is not very delicate at the feet, but at the level of the Chinese Super League, his advance is still powerful.

Paulinho made a beautiful change of direction, getting rid of Qi Ming diagonally, and then played a one-two with the retreating Goulart past Roque Gill.

However, by this time, the Longteng team's layered defensive formation had an effect, facing Paulinho, who was already at the end of the crossbow, Ma Yongli broke the ball with a grab, and then handed the ball to Qi Ming, who faced Alain's return defense, quickly transferred, and passed the ball to Ben Alpha's feet.

An attack by Guangzhou Evergrande quickly turned into a quick counterattack by the Longteng team.

Because Paulinho and Goulart are attacking too deep in the front court and can't come back at all, so in the back position, only Zheng Zhi is alone, and when the side defenders only have the right fullback, Zheng Zhi has to come over to help defend, otherwise with Ben Alpha's breakthrough ability, there is a chance that the one-on-one defenders will not be able to prevent it.

After Ben Alpha got the ball, he saw that Zheng Zhi was going to come over to defend, and the first choice was to pass. Zheng Zhi ran halfway and found that Ben Alpha had passed the ball, and hurriedly turned around and ran over to prevent Nie Jiang, who was catching the ball.

Zheng Zhi, who turned around in the fast run, still ignored his age - he was already an "old man" of thirty-six, such a sudden stop and turn overwhelmed his muscles, although he endured the pain and destroyed Nie Jiang's ball with a sliding tackle, but the thigh muscles were severely strained.

Originally, the referee wanted to blow a foul immediately and give the Longteng team a free kick in the front court, but seeing Zheng Zhi covering his thighs, he quickly stopped the game and went over to ask.

After confirming that Zheng Zhi could not insist, the referee hurriedly gestured to the Guangzhou Evergrande team doctor on the sidelines.

"Oops! Zheng Zhi, what's wrong with this?" Because Zheng Zhi was injured just now, he also went to defend a wave, and he had successfully defended, Liu Jianhong was far away after all, and he didn't see it clearly, "The confrontation just now was not intense." ”

At this time, the slow motion also made a defense, and Huang Jianxiang said after watching it: "It is estimated that there was an accident when I turned around at a high-speed emergency stop, and it should be a muscle strain." Alas, Zheng Zhi is old after all. Hopefully, his injury won't affect the round of 12 this time. After all, the recovery is slow, and there are some sequelae. ”

At the same time, Scolari on the sidelines was also helpless.

Although Guangzhou Evergrande has been buying domestic players and updating them in the past two years, except for Lin Feng, who can indeed be regarded as the main force on the field, the others are basically at the level of substitutes.

Of course, Scolari couldn't have imagined that there was such a bug as Zhang Sheng.

Historically, Guangzhou Evergrande has been hoarding good domestic players, resulting in other teams not having plug-and-play good players, and can only be cultivated slowly. Even in the 2018 season, Evergrande no longer has the overall advantage of the previous crushing, and it can still rely on Yu Wei to support that breath.

Now with Zhang Sheng, coupled with Zhang Sheng's willingness to export players, some players who did not appear in reality have greatly improved the level of Guangzhou Evergrande's competitors. Moreover, the system has upgraded the overall league level of the Chinese Super League, which makes the game difficult to play, and Evergrande's advantage has been further narrowed.

An old player like Zheng Zhi, although his skills, tactics and awareness have been maintained, the extra effort in each game still makes him decline quickly in his body, and injuries are inevitable.

Now Scolari had to replace Zheng Zhi with Lin Feng.

After Lin Feng came on the court, he took over Zheng Zhi's defensive task very well with full physical energy, but he didn't have much help in attack.

In fact, this is also the reason why Scolari chose Zheng Zhi to start.

Zheng Zhi as a batch of 79 domestic top players, there is no doubt that his comprehensive strength is strong, in addition to his experience in defense, he can use long and short passes and even passing people in the midfield to organize the attack is something that many domestic midfield players can not do.

Lin Feng is certainly very good in defense and has a good ability to organize short passes, but he has always been short in the long pass and passing in the confrontation.

This time he played the Dragons away, so Scolari, who was determined to play defensive counterattacks, arranged Zheng Zhi, who was more suitable for this tactic, to start.

Seeing that the team could not attack, Scolari was also very anxious, and the right side of Guangzhou Evergrande in this game was Shu Jun, which was not a fullback known for his ability to assist, and did not help much in attack.

Thinking of this, Scolari began to miss Zhang Linpeng, who transferred away, and Zhou Zheng, who was still recovering after the injury.

Look at the right fullback/right winger Xiang Tiange of the opposite Longteng team, the speed and breakthrough ability are very eye-catching, how good it would be if you were your own player.

In the end, Scolari chose to take the risk, replacing Shu Jun with Wang Yuandi, who was still in the process of transforming from right winger to right wing-back, hoping to use his speed and impact to hit Ben Arfa's back.

Emperor Wang Yuan was able to get the opportunity to play in such a game, and he still cherished it very much, but unfortunately he was in a hurry to perform, and he was obviously a little too hard.

In the thirteenth minute of the second half, Emperor Wang Yuan, who had just come on the field, saw that he was about to be broken through by Ben Alpha, and his brain was hot, and a tackle similar to a scissor leg went directly to Ben Alpha.

Ben Alpha is an old oilman after all, and he has a good sense of protection, and after feeling the "murderous aura" behind him, he jumped slightly, but he was still directly hooked by Emperor Wang Yuan from the air.

Although the referee ran over in time, he did not take out the card, but only warned Wang Yuandi once.

The decision was soon met with boos from the fans in the stands and protests from the sidelines.

After seeing that Ben Alpha was able to get up and not suffer any major injuries, the Dragons gave up the investigation.

But then, as if Emperor Wang Yuan was not affected by this warning, he still kicked very recklessly, so that Ben Alpha was a little scared.

In the twenty-third minute, a chance of a half-goal, seeing Emperor Wang Yuan's momentum, Ben, Alpha actually let go.

This made Zhang Sheng very unhappy.

"A real newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Seeing this scene, Liu Jianhong joked, "As a young player, Emperor Wang Yuandi's hard work is still worthy of praise." ”

Huang Jianxiang, who was next to him, frowned inadvertently when he heard this, obviously he didn't approve of it too much, and vaguely mentioned: "Young players must work hard, but they still protect themselves and don't get hurt." ”

In fact, Emperor Wang Yuan's actions have always been that the other party has a high chance of being injured. It's just that in the Chinese Super League, fouls on foreign aid are often turned a blind eye, which has become an unspoken rule.

In fact, Zhang Sheng, who was on the sidelines, probably knew Ben Alpha's inner activities.

As Ben Alfa, who is about to return to Europe to play, his sense of self-protection is very strong now, and he doesn't want to get injured and fight for a game, because once something goes wrong, his return to Europe will be completely ruined.

This is something that Ben Alpha will never accept.

"It's time to bring Ben Alpha off. Zhang Sheng made a decision.
