77. Half-time lead
In fact, Han Peng's appearance in the center forward position was not Kuka's original intention, and some media broke the news that it was the opinion of the senior management of Shandong Luneng Club to let Han Peng play, not Kuka himself. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Han Peng appeared in the center position when facing Beijing Guoan away, because Loew is not good at organization, but he habitually retreats to get the ball, his offensive style may be more like Li Jinyu, the use of him, maybe like Luneng in previous years, in front of him to arrange Han Peng as a cover, as a battery. It was the presence of Han Peng that allowed Loew to show his shooting skills, allowing him to score a hat-trick in a 0-3 away win over Bei Jing Guoan.
In this game, Kuka continued the lineup against Beijing Jingguoan, thinking that he could reproduce the offensive momentum of that game, but unfortunately the Longteng team is not Beijing Guoan, and the two central defenders of the Longteng team, whether it is McGovern or Ma Yongli, are far better than several central defenders of Beijing Jingguoan, and Han Peng cannot suppress them.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Montillo sent a cross to Han Peng, but Han Peng was completely inferior in the physical confrontation with McGovern, and the ball was headed by McGovern to Kante. Kante handed the ball to Lin Feng who came to answer, Lin Feng observed the position of his teammates in the front court before coming to respond, and found that Shandong Luneng's defensive formation was very stable, and his teammates did not have a good offensive opportunity for the time being.
In this stalemate stage, the Longteng team played very patiently, Kante saw that there was no good opportunity to play forward, and dodged Han Peng's pressing, and passed the ball back to the central defender Ma Yongli who came to answer. Ma Yongli, as the strongest player on the Longteng team's defensive line, was not flustered at all in the face of Han Peng, who turned around and forced him, he handed the ball to Yu Bo on the left side quickly and accurately, Yu Bo directly used his body to lean against it and handed it to the back Kante again when facing Montillo's grab, this time it became Loew who defended Kante, because Han Peng had not withdrawn from the position of defending Ma Yongli, and Kante handed the ball to Lin Feng again, and there was no one around Lin Feng to defend.
The Longteng team used its fast passing to completely collapse the pressing of Shandong Luneng in the front court.
Lin Feng, who had no one to defend, began to quickly dribble forward, and in the face of this situation, Luneng's two backs had to come over to defend one. Originally, according to Luneng's midfield position, the first to come over should be the forward back Wang Yongpo, after all, Kuka made Wang Yongpo the arrangement of the front waist and the back, and his position was higher than that of the other back Uso, but he was not very accustomed to defending in the midfield, and he did not come over to press at the first time, but Uso couldn't stand it and came from behind Wang Yongpo to defend Lin Feng.
Uso is one of the top midfielders in the Chinese Super League today, with a swift and aggressive approach, excellent anticipation and considerable coverage, and his follow-up and passes, which are unmatched by other homegrown players. With Uso, the team's defense has improved by a small level, and the offense can also play more with the frontcourt.
It should be said that Shandong Luneng's elimination in the AFC Champions League has a lot to do with Luneng Club not signing up for the AFC Champions League, Shandong Luneng only conceded 3 goals in the league when it was eliminated from the AFC Champions League, and was the best defensive team in the league, but when it came to the AFC Champions League, they conceded 11 goals in 6 games, instantly becoming the third highest number of goals conceded in the top 32 of the AFC Champions League and the team conceding the most goals in East Asia.
One of the most important points is that Luneng players did not adapt to Kuka's defensive system, and they were full of holes in the face of the rapid attack that is common in the AFC Champions League. Luneng's previous defensive tactics were zone defense, but now it has become zone marking defense, it is obvious that he overestimated the tactical quality and personal ability of Chinese players, zone marking defense requires defenders to have excellent mobility and protection, with good judgment and sense of coordination, and Chinese players just lack this. As can be seen from the two-legged match against Pohang and the loss to Sakura, Luneng players often have loopholes due to lack of tacit understanding when exchanging defenses under the opponent's quick passes, especially in the transition of various defensive areas.
Luneng fielded five different midfield combinations in six games in the group stage, and with Uso in the group, Kuka's offensive and defensive adjustments to the team may be much smoother.
Lin Feng knew that his offensive plan had succeeded after seeing Uso coming over to defend, and he distributed the ball to Xiao Yunfan, who came over to the right side to assist, before Uso was close, and Xiao Yunfan's assist was first defended by Zhang Wenzhao.
Zhang Wenzhao is also a player who joined Shandong Luneng at the beginning of the whole season, in fact, as early as 2013, Guangzhou Evergrande offered Changchun Yatai 3000w to buy him, but the Super League "anti-Evergrande Alliance" has already been formed in tacit understanding In addition, Yatai's own attention to Zhang Wenzhao made the transfer aborted, but compared to Yatai's hostility to Evergrande, the relationship between Yatai and Luneng is very harmonious, in the 2013 season of the Chinese Super League just ended, the two sides basically set the transfer of the initialed contract, and finally the transfer fee of both sides was set at 2000w in cash, and then added to the transfer of Luneng to add an addition - Wang Gang, the winger of the 89-level National Olympic team in Changchun, although it is claimed that the entire transfer fee has reached 3900w, but the actual cost is very cost-effective in the Super League, where the value of players skyrockets every year。
After Zhang Wenzhao came to Luneng, his performance should be said to be very eye-catching, in the previous game between Shandong Luneng and Shanghai Shenxin, it was he who scored a goal to make Shandong Luneng defeat the opponent 1:0 and get 3 points.
But Zhang Wenzhao is strong in breaking through and attacking, he doesn't have much ability in defense, this time in the face of Xiao Yunfan's insertion, just symbolically went up to interfere with Xiao Yunfan, and Xiao Yunfan comfortably handed the ball to Kante, who came over to respond, Kante took the ball and passed a beautiful through ball to Mahrez, who had accelerated to start.
In the process of this pass, Shandong Luneng's defense on the left side was pulled to pieces, not only the full-back was left behind the attacking players of the Longteng team, but even the team's two backs were also involved, which is exactly the effect that the Longteng team wanted, Mahrez did not pause much after receiving the through ball from Kante, he did not directly to the left wingback and the left central defender's ribs to break through, because Zheng Zheng's position is still good, Mahrez directly distributed the ball to Xiao Yunfan, who had assisted into the 30-meter area, this pass made the left central defender Dai Lin, who was ready to lean over, completely miscalculated, he hurriedly moved over to block Xiao Yunfan's shot。
But Xiao Yunfan did not directly shoot with his feet, but when he came into contact with the ball, a non-stop pass passed to Pato in the middle, because at this time Uso returned to the defense in place to Pato's side, Pato suddenly stopped running forward without a good chance to shoot, and let the ball leak in front of him, Pato's leakage was too sudden, not only Uso did not expect, even another central defender Dewey did not expect, the ball rolled directly in front of Dewey, and it was Wen Kai who had just retreated and now inserted into the penalty area to get the ball in the penalty area。
Wen Kai, who got such an opportunity, did not hesitate, he pushed the passing ball with his left foot, the ball touched Wen Kai's foot, changed on the grass and rushed backwards and went straight to the goal, Shandong Luneng's goalkeeper Wang Dalei could not save such a ground ball even if he reacted quickly, and when his whole body fell, the ball had rolled into the goal, and the Longteng team led 0:2 away.
The level of the Longteng team's offensive promotion this time is very obvious, Duan Xuan was just a player who read the Longteng team to pass and receive the ball when the Longteng team began to fall in the backfield: "The Longteng team controlled the point outside the penalty area, Kante took the ball and passed it to Lin Feng, Lin Feng passed it back to Kante, Kante handed it to Ma Yongli, Ma Yongli distributed the ball to the left side, Yu Bo handed it over to Kante organization, and Kante gave the ball to Lin Feng again. The Longteng team's non-stop kick is very smooth, bang, and the ball completely got rid of the defense of the Luneng team in a few clicks. ”
Zhou Ning said with a smile: "This kind of fast express delivery is the housekeeping skill of the Longteng team, and the entire Super League is the only one, beautiful and practical." ”
In the conversation between the two commentators, the attack of the Longteng team began to speed up, Duan Xuan was also very keen to find the situation on the field, he hurriedly said: "The overall formation of the Longteng team has moved forward, Lin Feng handed it over to Xiao Yunfan, Xiao Yunfan knocked it to Kante again, Kante's straight stopper, Mahrez, he passed the ball, Xiao Yunfan kept the ball straight stopper, wow wow, Pato leaked the ball, Luneng's defenders didn't expect it at all, Wen Kai's shot, the ball went in." This goal is really a classic of teamwork, from the back to the central defender, to the left, to the middle, then to the right, and finally from the right side of the straight plug to the penalty area, so many foot passes are all non-stop passes, the passing rhythm is gradually accelerated, and the final goal is also done in one go, so beautiful. ”
Zhou Ning also praised the goal of the Longteng team: "This kind of goal is really speechless." Playing from the backfield to the opponent's penalty area, not relying on any wonderful passes, nor relying on the star's singles, it is to use the pass to pull the opponent's empty single, and the last beautiful pass and shot, the goal is completed. This is a tactical victory, which includes both the high requirements for the player's foot skills, and the need for the player to have a super good ball quotient to run, it should be said that the Longteng team has begun to reproduce the previous style of play in the middle league. ”
When Zhang Sheng saw this goal, a sense of pride arose, and after a period of training, the players finally began to gradually adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League.
Before the season, Zhang Sheng was not worried about anything else, but worried that the players in the team who had only accepted the rhythm and intensity of the Chinese Super League could not adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League, and Zhang Sheng's worries were indeed not wrong, in the early days of the league, the Longteng team did not adapt to the environment of the Chinese Super League, and once ranked at the bottom of the standings, until the fourth round of the league to get the first victory of the season.
After winning that victory, the Longteng team seemed to have woken up, although there were small twists and turns of Lin Feng and Ding Huaiyi, the team as a whole gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League, and the results of the game were also rising.
After the goal of the Longteng team, the players of the Luneng team were obviously a little blind, if the first goal conceded could be said to be their own low-level mistake, then the lost goal was completely penetrated by the opponent using the pass, and there was no other reason for such a conceded goal except to admit that they were inferior to the opponent.
Even Luneng head coach Kuka on the sidelines opened his eyes wide, his face was full of incredulity, such a goal of the Longteng team is difficult for Luneng to play even in usual training, but he didn't expect the opponent to play under the defense of his own players, which can only show that the opponent's strength is not ordinarily strong.
In the 38th minute, Montillo, who was trying to get back the score, saw Yu Bo with the ball, he hit Yu Bo directly, but unfortunately he underestimated Yu Bo's physical fitness, and just hit the arm that Yu Bo turned around, and this arm just hit the ribs, Montillo fell to the ground on the spot, after the team doctor's examination, Montillo should have broken ribs, and Kuka could only replace Montillo with Liu Binbin.
After Montillo went off the field, Luneng's attack also slowed down, and the Longteng team slowed down the pace slightly, and at the end of the first half, the score was also fixed at 0:2.
At halftime, Zhang Sheng and the players looked very relaxed, while Shandong Luneng's locker room was very depressed, two goals behind, and the main foreign aid was injured and went off, which indicated that the game would be more difficult in the second half.
Kuka looked around at his players and said: "I know it's going to be a tough game, but this is our home stadium, there are still chances in the half, we can't give up, we still have time, in the second half Aloisio you replace Han Peng, you are responsible for getting the first point in the box and giving the ball to the second point." Loew, to ensure the second point of scramble and then to shoot was our best chance. ”
Aloisio suddenly came to his senses when he heard Kuka's arrangement, and after coming to Shandong Luneng this season, he was actually not very happy with the nickname "Bison", because as a player brought from Brazil when Kuka took office, and he was also a very important center forward player, his performance was not good.
