69. Equal points

It was De Paul who was in charge of the penalty, because the foul was a bit off the rails, and Urawa Ruby only had two people in front of him, and all the players were crowded in the box, ready to deal with De Paul's pass.

"There are a few headers in the Longteng team, and the J-League players are generally afraid of this kind of header bombardment, so let's see how this free kick goes. He Wei explained step by step, "It's out, hey, is this a shot? Oh, Nishikawa Zhou Zuo put it down, the lintel!

"There was chaos in the penalty area, and it was Lu Zhihui's supplementary shot. Xu Yang smiled, "This is the blossoming of the iron tree, and this should be the first AFC Champions League goal of the captain of the Longteng team this season." ”

He Wei's hint is even more in place: "It's not just the first AFC Champions League goal, it's also the player's first non-header goal in the Longteng team, right? It should be said that De Paul's shot was too unexpected. ”

Not only were the two commentators surprised, Zhang Sheng on the sidelines was also amazed, and he didn't expect De Paul to choose a direct attack from a free kick when the angle was so small, of course, Zhang Sheng felt that the position of Urawa Ruby's goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa was also a big reason.

The replay footage did confirm Zhang's thoughts, his position was too far to the left, giving De Paul a chance to hang back, although the ball was blocked by him and hit the lintel, but after rebounding back into the box, this kind of ball could not go in is the destiny of each other.

This time the Dragons were lucky.

After the goal, Lu Zhihui was very happy to celebrate with the players of the Longteng team, and the fans in the stands did not hesitate to applaud and cheer for their captain.

"With a score of 3:0, Urawa Ruby's next game is difficult. He Wei had a "neutral" explanation attitude, "If you don't solve the problem of offense, you are always pressed like this, and the formation is getting flatter and flatter, in addition to fouling and eating cards, it is also very likely to be beaten for long-range shots, Hori Takashi has to find a way." ”

The commentary is emphasizing the offense, but Hori Takashi is thinking about the defensive problem at this time.

Endo Hang has obviously been played in the position of three central defenders and central defenders, and Master Pei's previous idea was to let players like Endo Hang be able to participate more in the attack on the fullback, but now that I think about it, it is really a bit difficult for him to let a player who is less than one meter eight tall and weighs only one hundred and five pounds play central defender.

In fact, in real history, Endo played far better in the midfield position than in the central defender position, he was eyed by the Belgian first division team in 2018, but also because of his excellent performance in the midfield position in the 2018 World Cup, and in 2019, he was also regarded as a midfielder when he reported the news with the Bundesliga team Stuttgart.

If it was two goals behind, Urawa Ruby still had a little urge to pull it back, and now that they are three goals down, they are already a little discouraged.

"The home stadium of the Dragons is really a nightmare for the Japanese team. He Wei briskly reported the previous history of confrontations, "In the AFC Champions League, except for the 2014 season, when the Longteng team was just promoted to the Chinese Super League and lost one game in the AFC Champions League, there has never been a J League team that has won at the home of the Longteng team. It is not uncommon to have big games, such as last season's 3-1 home win over today's opponent Urawa, and last season's 4-0 home win over Kawasaki Frontale. ”

Obviously, the two commentators also knew that there would be no more big improvement on the Urawa Ruby, and began to understand the most common method used by the narrator, holding the data and reading the data, and the most powerful thing was that Zhangkou began to talk about the ancients.

Otherwise, what should we say about the rest of the game?

Perhaps because he didn't want to make it difficult for the commentators, three minutes after conceding the goal, Urawa Ruby made another substitution, and the Brazilian foreign player Rafael Silva, who was the key target of the Longteng coaching staff before the game, came on the field, and he replaced the back player Shinya Yajima.

"Ugh. Up forward, down the back, is it so hard?" He Wei was a little stunned when he saw this substitution, but he reacted immediately, "It should be to let Aoki Takuya return to his familiar position as a midfielder, Rafael Silva went to the front, but I don't know whether to play forward or striker." ”

"The next thing you should know is where he stands. Xu Yang replied.

Much to the embarrassment of the two commentators, they have not been able to figure out the player's exact position since Rafael Silva came on, sometimes on the wing to break through with the ball, sometimes through the middle, and sometimes simply waiting for the ball in the box to break through.

Anyway, after this player came up, he was thinking about taking the ball to overturn the whole team of the Longteng team.

Zhang Sheng is also confused about Urawa's foreign aid, the Brazilian player is obviously contrary to Urawa's overall tactics and completely outside the system.

Fortunately, Urawa have already conceded three goals, with as many as seven or eight players defending at the back for a long time, and Rafael Silva did not pose an immediate threat to the team even if he took the ball away.

The problem is that Rafael Silva keeps wasting the ball, which makes the already aggrieved Urawa players even more unbalanced.

In the twenty-second minute of the second half, Yuki Muto, who was replaced, couldn't get the ball, and he was already on fire, just when the continuous passing of the Longteng team in the backfield slipped him like a monkey, when Tao Wentao had passed the ball out, Yuki Muto rushed over to grab the ball to no avail, and directly pushed Tao Wentao.

"This action is not necessary, it will definitely eat cards. "He Wei is also unhappy," the players of the Longteng team also came around, and the captain Lu Zhihui complained directly to the referee. Sure enough, a yellow card. ”

"Urawa was completely fragmented in the second half after Rafael Silva came up. Relying on a desperate person like Yuki Muto to grab the ball in the front court has no point except to waste his physical energy. Xu Yang pointed to the essence of the problem, "And Urawa now has a large number of backcourt balls directly looking for the three attacking players in front, Rafael Silva can still get the ball a few times after all, and Yuki Muto's height of 1.70 meters is too much of a loss." ”

He was also holding his breath in his heart. He Wei was obviously gloating.

But soon he couldn't be happy, because this time Urawa fouled again, the Dragons used Fernando's speed and foot skills on the right lane to get rid of the defense of Tomoaki Makino and Takuya Aoki, and the former kicked directly on Fernando's heel with a retaliatory move.

Fernando clutched his feet and fell to the ground in pain.

Just as Tao Wentao near Fernando came up and pushed Makino Tomosho away, this foul was too bad, and it was aimed at people.

"This is not the first time Tomoaki Makino has committed such a foul. He Wei's commentary couldn't suppress the pressure of fire, "In the J-League less than a month ago, Tomoaki Makino also maliciously fouled the players of Consadole Sapporo, first kicked the opponent's crotch, and then got up and stepped on the opponent's face with spikes, causing the two sides to clash on the field, and he was also sent off with a red card. ”

"Probably considering that he is an international and does not want him to lose his form in the next round of 12, Japan's J-League only punished him once. If it is in today's Chinese Super League, this set of combo combos will be at least half a year, and this nature is much more serious than Professor Qin, Shi Linzan, and Oscar. "Xu Yang, this is one black and four black.

The players on both sides were almost about to fight, as the head coach Hassan hurriedly came to stop it, at this time Fernando was still lying on the ground, Aoki Takuya pushed Tao Wentao away with his backhand, and the other players surrounded him.

Hassan hurriedly let the team doctor in.

The first thing Li Xiang did after entering the field was to check to see if there was a bone problem, fortunately, Fernando at least his legs were not deformed, but depending on the situation, there was a certain problem with the Achilles tendon, after all, it was difficult for him to get up now.

"Fernando was directly carried off the field on a stretcher, and it seems that the injury is not light. He Wei said worriedly, "I hope he's okay." ”

"The referee gave Tomoaki Makino a red card, and I think the Dragons will definitely have an appeal next, and this foul will definitely not be as simple as a red card and a suspension for one game. took out the yellow card again, Tao Wentao ate one, and the No. 16 on the opposite side was Takuya Aoki, and he also ate one, which is a major fifty board. After all, both of them made a move. Xu Yang was still indignant about the foul just now.

"There are a lot of people on the Urawa side who will be suspended for the next round. He Wei looked at the information at hand, "Yuki Muto and Takuya Aoki have both accumulated two yellow cards, and they can't play in the next game, plus Tomoaki Makino, it's even worse." ”

Makino Tomoaki's red card went down, which meant that Urawa had basically given up the game, and Hori Takashi simply replaced Shinzo Kozaki with a mixed-race player Ounai Muamichi, completely abandoning the main frontcourt lineup and letting two strikers with excellent physical fitness rush to the front.

At this time, Zhang Sheng also began to let more substitute players come up to experience the game, Huang He, Tang Jin, Zeng Fanfang replaced Fernando, Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao, to ensure the speed and impact of the wing, while strengthening the harassment of the frontcourt, using their physical fitness to ensure the safety of the team's first line of defense.

Of course, Zhang Sheng's greater intention is to let Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao, the two players who have been selected for the national team, rest and rest, after all, the last two rounds of the top 12 matches of the Chinese team are about to start, and there is nothing more important now.

I heard that, as always, last year, Longteng team and Guangzhou Evergrande played the knockout match of the AFC Champions League shortly before the national team game, and the Chinese Football Association also came to "condole" it, this time it was the turn of Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG to play the AFC Champions League knockout round, and the Chinese Football Association almost directly ordered the two sides to "close the kick" in this round.

The new players did not disappoint Zhang Sheng, two minutes before the end of the game, in the first minute of stoppage time, the Longteng team won a corner kick, Nishikawa Zhouzuo high-altitude ball was inaccurate The old problem was committed again, his attack on the flying football almost missed, in a hurry, the football was photographed by him to the edge, directly in the penalty area, Zeng Xingxing grabbed before everyone reacted, and stabbed the ball into the goal.

The Dragons took a 4-0 lead at home.

As in the previous round against Kawasaki Frontale, the Dragons have beaten off the J-League side by the same scoreline and have already stepped into the next round with one foot.

"The game is over. He Wei made the verdict before referee Hassan blew the whistle, "It can be said that the next round will not be a big problem." ”

Xu Yang hesitated, after all, He Wei's milk is too powerful: "The next Longteng team should be cautious, and the home field of Urawa Ruby is not easy to play." ”

He Wei also reacted: "Indeed." However, it is very likely that when the time comes, the mentality of the Chinese players and the Japanese players will be different. Seeing the game of the Longteng team, I feel a lot more at ease, and the Chinese team is likely to qualify for the World Cup directly from the top 12 with the second place in the group. Japan is likely to be the top team in the group, and this is the second team that is a World Cup team. ”

Hearing that He Wei shifted the topic to the national team, Xu Yang also said: "If people like Nie Jiang and Tao Wentao can maintain such a good state, our hope of qualifying in the last two rounds is very great, let us also wish the Chinese national team another historic qualification." ”

As soon as Xu Yang's words fell, the referee Hassan directly blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the three minutes of stoppage time were not even given for one more second.

Maybe it's because the Longteng team has won the J-League team too easily over the years, and a 4:0 victory has not attracted too much attention, Urawa head coach Takashi Hori said a little unconvinced after the game: "The Longteng team is indeed the top team in Asia, they have the initiative on the field in this game, but we also have a chance, but unfortunately we didn't grasp it." ”

Compared with the external war of the Longteng team, the Chinese Super League civil war a day later is the real highlight, and Shanghai SIPG is about to usher in the home game against Guangzhou Evergrande.

Before the game began, all kinds of news came one after another, such as Guangzhou Evergrande's previous match with Kashima Antlers, where fans hung insulting banners and were fined two empty games and postponed for two years; what Evergrande did not use the alternate venue approved by Shanghai SIPG and the AFC to train, but went to the remote Shenhua Kangqiao base for training, etc., and the things off the field were once more lively than inside the field.

When it came to the game, everyone found out that Guangzhou Evergrande, which did not have Paulinho, completely became two teams under the impact of Shanghai SIPG's strong four foreign aides and Wu Lei's "quasi-foreign aid".

Due to a large number of injuries in the midfield, Zheng Zhi and Liao Lisheng, the old and young backs, could not withstand the pressure of the opponent, resulting in the central defender Feng Xiaoting being exposed to the opponent's offensive firepower, injured in the first half, and replaced in the second half.

Guangzhou Evergrande has reached the point where there is nothing to hurt.

The final score was also in line with the performance of both sides on the field, Wu Lei's brace plus Hulk and Wang Shengchao's goals, Shanghai SIPG swept Guangzhou Evergrande 4:0 at their home stadium, which is the same score as Longteng.

After the win, the SIPG fans were ecstatic, and all kinds of touting voices were endless, but one person was upset, that is, the Chinese Football Association, because Feng Xiaoting's injury made the Chinese national team lose a starting main central defender in the next game.
