23. Crucial passes
In Liu Jianhong's surprised commentary, the Longteng team launched one onslaught after another.
In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Guangzhou Evergrande began to play the ball from the back line, responsible for the ball is Jin Yingquan of Yawai, he just got the ball, Zou Weijia pounced, Jin Yingquan was very safe to hand over the ball to the back Zheng Zhi who retreated to respond, Zheng Zhi got the ball for no more than half a second, Chavez's defense followed, in order to prevent the ball from being broken, Zheng Zhi quickly transferred the ball to Paulinho's feet, and Tao Wentao had rushed to Paulinho at the moment when Zheng Zhi passed the ball, the latter worked hard to withstand Tao Wentao's pressing, and sent the ball to Alan on the leftγ
This kind of ability to pass the ball in a row in a non-stop ball to the player, the tactics arranged by the coach, and the overall tacit understanding are extremely high, Paulinho's ball is certainly passed out, but the strength of the pass is not too consistent with Alain's running position, Xiang Tiange grabbed the ball before Alain stabbed the ball away.
The football that was stabbed by Xiang Tiange fell right at the feet of Ma Yongli, who got the ball and handed it to Roque Gill with a diagonal pass, who shook his ankle with the incoming ball and let the ball touch the instep of his foot, directly changing the direction of the ball, and the football arrived at Qi Ming's feet.
Compared with Guangzhou Evergrande's forced quick and continuous kick just now, the Longteng team is completely different, this kind of tactics that have been in training and soaked in the game for many years seem to be the innate genes of the Longteng team, their passing strength, running coordination is very skilled.
Qi Ming, who has been on the Dragons for three years, has also become a part of this, and the moment he saw Roque Gill receiving the ball, he began to start accelerating, and when Roque Gill passed the ball, he ran in the direction in which the ball was rolling.
Even Paulinho, who came to defend was very timely, the interference of the body was very violent, Qi Ming was still more than half a position above him, under the impact of Paulinho, Qi Ming held the football steadily, and then handed it to Ben Alpha with a beautiful straight stopper.
This process is very long, but the real time on the field is very short, Guangzhou Evergrande from the overall forward attack to the ball is broken, to the Longteng team quickly passed the ball to the feet of Ben Alpha, this forced from the offensive to the defensive time is not even ten seconds.
Paulinho is aware well enough, strong enough body, reacted to interfere with Qi Ming, although he failed, but he was the most correct in the choice, while the other players of Guangzhou Evergrande did not have such good brains and ball quotient.
When Ben Alpha got the ball, Huang Bowen was still in the front court at this time and didn't rush back at all, and Shu Jun on the side wanted to turn around and chase Ben Alpha, but it was too late.
Seeing that Ben Alpha had thrown off a whole number of positions with the ball, the only thing Shu Jun could do was to run over from the side, throw his body out completely, and make a sliding tackle close to the ground, hoping to break the ball.
Although Ben Alpha tried his best to dodge, he still didn't completely dodge Shu Jun's outstretched legs, his calf was hung by Shu Jun's spikes, and his body lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Zhang Sheng, who was on the sidelines at this time, immediately rushed to the sideline and loudly signaled to the referee that this was a bad foul.
And Ben Alpha was also clutching his calves and stomach in pain, lying on the ground.
This foul made the referee Fan Qi blow the game, he came over to negotiate with Shu Jun, and Guangzhou Evergrande's captain Zheng Zhi rushed to Fan Qi and began to explain to Fan Qi, and at the same time, Paulinho also surrounded and told Fan Qi that Shu Jun was the first foul and asked his men to show mercy.
Seeing more and more Guangzhou Evergrande players coming around, Fan Qi quickly softened, and he warned Shu Jun a few words to let him pay attention next time.
Zhang Sheng on the sidelines looked confused, such a tackle on the side and behind can actually spare the punishment of eating cards by pleading, so what do you need the referee and the rules of the football game to do?
Not only Zhang Sheng was not convinced, but also the other players on the field of the Longteng team, because Zhou Zhou was not on the field, and the team's second captain, Ma Yongli, was the captain of the game, and he came to complain to Fan Qi that this was a complete violation of not being able to get the ball, not to mention the yellow card, the red card can be taken.
Even more angry was Ben Alpha, who took off his socks, took off the shin guards, and showed Fan Qi the three blood marks on his calves: "Don't you give cards for such fouls?"
Fan Qi comforted Ben Alpha in very gentle words, saying that he knew, and asked him to suppress his anger.
"This foul is not malicious, it should be played, right? I think the red card is enough. Huang Jianxiang raised his own questions.
"Maybe the foul was committed on the sideline of the court, and the head coach read that Shu Jun was not malicious, and it was the first foul in the game, so he didn't play a card, but strictly speaking, a yellow card should be issued. Liu Jianhong helped Fan Qi round the scene.
Zhang Sheng on the sidelines looked super helpless at this time, he knew that Fan Qi's whistle was loose and his cards were not decisive, he didn't expect it to come to this point, and just now this ball, Guangzhou Evergrande attacked fast, lost the ball quickly, and the Longteng team went faster from defense to offense, nearly forty-five years old, Fan Qi, whose waist was already thick and not like a professional referee, did not keep up with the rhythm of the game at all, he was at least one or twenty meters away from the place where Shu Jun fouled!
In other words, he is no longer a qualified professional referee, and his ability is no longer overwhelmed.
Unable to grasp the details of the foul at the first time, he could only rely on the player's relay to judge this kind of foul between the electric and flint, when Guangzhou Evergrande a large number of players came around and began to interfere with his thinking, he could no longer keep up, and could only choose to compromise.
Even if he saw that Ben Alpha was indeed violated by the opponent, it had been a while since the foul was committed, and he was embarrassed to play his cards again.
Zhang Sheng finally realized why countless people said that Fan Qi was not a black whistle, but only an incompetent whistle.
Once the referee's decision has been made, then there is no change, and the quick counterattack of the Longteng team this time can only end in winning a free kick in front.
The next free kick in front of the court came to the tense moment of Guangzhou Evergrande, because several players of the Longteng team who had scored the first point in a row in the corner kick were again in their penalty area.
Ben Arfa's foul just now was painful, but it was only a hard injury, and he stood firmly in front of the penalty spot from the free kick.
After a period of chaos in the penalty area, Ben Alpha sent the ball out, this time Guangzhou Evergrande's defense did a good job, Zengcheng rushed out of the box for the first time, knocked the ball out of the penalty area with both fists, and got the ball outside the penalty area is Paulinho, who has a very good judgment of the landing point.
After he got the ball, before he could run, he was warmly received from the side of the Dragons, and Roque Gill immediately pulled Paulinho a little, so that the opponent's speed could not get up at all, and Roque Gill, who had done all this, immediately raised his hands to show his innocence.
Paulinho was furious, stopped dribbling the ball, complained to the referee Fan Qi about Roque Gil's foul, and raised his right hand, thumb, index finger and middle finger pinched together, indicating that this was a tactical foul and should be carded.
It's a pity that Fan Qi, who just let Guangzhou Evergrande's players escape yellow cards or even red cards, adopted the principle of "balance", indicating that this should be a warning and not rushing to play cards.
Fan Qi's penalty to Guangzhou Evergrande just now attracted a boo from the fans of the Longteng team in the stands, but this is the home stadium of Guangzhou Evergrande, and there are not too many fans of the Longteng team, and the boos are not very obvious.
This time, the players of the Longteng team escaped the yellow card, it was different, the boos of the whole stadium shook the sky, and after the boos, there was a roar of "black whistle", "Fan Qi S.B", "Fan Qi get out".
Zhang Sheng couldn't cry or laugh on the side, could it be that Fan Qi came out of the "Balanced Sect"?
Seeing Fan Qi's insistence, Guangzhou Evergrande also gave up complaining, obviously, they also knew that it was useless.
Because it was a free kick in the backfield, Guangzhou Evergrande's attack did not bring any threat to the Longteng team, which had all returned to defend in place.
Guangzhou Evergrande was quickly hit after missing this attack.
In the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, the Longteng team used the overall rapid movement of the whole team's formation to snatch the ball from Guangzhou Evergrande in its own 30-meter area and got a chance to counterattack.
Compared with the last counterattack of the Longteng team, Guangzhou Evergrande actually coped better than the last time.
When Ma Yongli got the ball, Goulart participated in the counter-robbery for the first time, Ma Yongli passed the ball in a hurry and it was not too good, Qi Ming, who received the ball, took the ball very awkwardly, and Huang Bowen was very hard as the right guard to defend the front, and Huang Bowen leaned over the moment Qi Ming took the ball, and did not give Qi Ming a chance to turn around at all.
But the more difficult conditions are, the more he can show a player's ability, Qi Ming, who got the ball, withstood the impact of Huang Bowen behind him, and then a standard half-turned long pass directly found Ben Alfa.
Qi Ming's pass is extremely demanding on personal ability.
First of all, you must be physically strong and not afraid of confrontation; secondly, you must have a good sense of the ball under your feet, and be able to control the ball in the appropriate range under the opponent's pressure; then you must have a good ability to pass and receive the ball, whether it is a short pass or a long pass, any of which is not solid, Qi Ming can't catch the ball, and can't pass it out; Finally, it is to grasp the overall situation, know when you can slowly make a short pass to do the ball, when to quickly pass out with a big foot, and can also accurately grasp the position of your teammates.
Huang Bowen also didn't expect Qi Ming to be able to half-turn and successfully send the ball to Ben Alpha's feet under his own pressure.
At this time, the only wide defender Ben Alfa faced was Shu Jun!
"Longteng team's counterattack!" Liu Jianhong also didn't expect Qi Ming to be able to adjust himself in a very fast time, and passed a good ball, he exclaimed, "This is a good opportunity." β
Shu Jun is very familiar with Ben Alpha who has been playing with him for more than a year, and he knows what the strength of the other party is.
In desperation, he could only choose to go up to follow the defense, neither daring to recklessly rob him, nor daring to lean too far.
However, this kind of defense requires the defenders to grasp the sense of position, adjust the cadence, and have extremely high requirements for speed.
At this time, in the penalty area of Guangzhou Evergrande, Zou Weijia and Chavez are all there; in the big penalty area, there is Qi Ming who rushed over after passing the ball on the left, Tao Wentao in the middle, and Xiang Tiange, who assisted at the back point, is ready to grab the second point at any time, or wait for Ben Alpha's pass.
In just a few seconds, the Dragons put a lot of players into the attack, and the team's overall movement ability is simply staggering.
When Kim Young-kwon had to come over to defend Ben Alpha, the latter didn't choose to go wild and made an inverted triangle pass.
Because of the departure of Jin Yingquan, Guangzhou Evergrande has a huge gap in the middle of the penalty area, although Zheng Zhi is in place, but Chavez, who received Ben Alpha's pass, has completed a standard center forward's sideways turn and sweep technical action.
Zheng Zhi was completely unable to keep up with Chavez's rhythm, and when he stretched out his feet to defend, the football was like a black and white lightning bolt, speeding through Zengcheng's lying armpit and drilling into the net.
The Longteng team used an extremely simple way to break through the gate of Guangzhou Evergrande.
'Ben Arfa got into the box and he chose to pass the ball. Liu Jianhong began to shout passionately from the moment Ben Alpha broke through: "In, in, in!" Chavez's shot is so beautiful, the standard center shooter action is simple and efficient. β
"Argentina has always had such a centre-forward. Huang Jianxiang sighed very much, "It should be said that the Pampas grassland has always been rich in striker killers, from Kempes to Batistuta, Crespo, to Palermo, to Milito, and finally now Higuain, Aguero, which is not famous." Don't underestimate Chavez, his characteristics are really similar to Milito, and his qualities are good in all aspects. He is worthy of being a player who has come out of the youth of an old Argentine club. β
"Chavez's shot was great, Ben Arfa's breakthrough assist was sharp, but the key thing was the chorus of the long ball. The young man's physical fitness, foot ability, especially the overall situation is really top-notch, and being able to accurately find his teammates in the front court between the lightning and flint is completely a stroke of genius. Liu Jianhong finally took a high look at the local players.
"This is a player that Coach Zhang Sheng values very much, and he is called 'the back of the Longteng team in the next ten years, and even the Chinese national team in the next ten years'. Coach Zhang Sheng rarely praises his players like this. Huang Jianxiang is also a performance of glory and glory.
At this time, in the broadcast camera, Zhang Sheng stood on the sidelines, also with a proud expression - his disciple did not let himself down.
