"This kind of tactic must have been practiced countless times by Coach Zhang Sheng and his coaching staff in training. Lou Yicheng took over the topic, "The Longteng team often has a lot of changes in tactical details, and often plays some beautiful small cooperation between two or three people, which shows that they have worked hard in daily training." ”

"Definitely. This is also the cornerstone of the Longteng team's good results in the Chinese Super League in recent years. Liu Yue nodded in agreement, "The first half of the game is coming to an end." SIPG didn't play badly, but they still have something to sum up and see how they can come back in the second half. ”

At half-time, the loss of a goal became a point that both coaches emphasized.

Zhang Sheng said to the players very seriously: "We are one goal ahead now." As everyone knows, this is an extremely unsafe score. Whether it's Hulk, Oscar, or even Akhmedov in SIPG, it is possible to pull a goal back with a single breakthrough and a shot. ”

"I always tell you, don't be obsessed with the individual abilities of the players. Seeing the players looking at him with serious faces, Zhang Sheng was very satisfied, "But we should never ignore the individual ability of the stars." I've been emphasizing the universality and specificity of the players to the team's overall tactics, and I hope you understand that. ”

If you don't know, just listening to Zhang Sheng's next sentence, you still think that the locker room of the Longteng team is giving a lecture on the philosophy of Marxism, but sometimes the tactics of football contain these philosophical principles.

After expounding his views, Zhang Sheng concluded: "So we must not take it lightly. Zhang Sheng pointed to his head again, "We must concentrate and strive to preserve our results." ”

In the end, Zhang Sheng still gave encouragement to the players: "Of course. Everyone played well in the first half. As long as we play like this, the victory will definitely be ours, so this is our home stadium and we are ......."

The players also continued Zhang Sheng's slogan in unison: "Longteng team." ”

"Victory is ......," Zhang Sheng said again.

"Ours. Come on, come on, come on!" all the players of the Dragon Teng team shouted loudly.

In the dressing room on the other side, Boas, like Zhang Sheng, stuck to his tactics.

In the last round of the Chinese Super League, the star model dominated by Boas's personal ability and supplemented by passing allowed the team to easily defeat Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng 3:0 at home.

'I'm very unhappy with the goal we conceded in the first half. Boas decided to sing blackface first, his angry expression and super-fast speech rate made the interpreter almost unable to keep up, "Why do you lose your vigilance at the end of the game." My team will never allow the slightest slack on the pitch. ”

"I'm sorry, coach, it won't be like this again. As the captain of the team, Wang Liange made a serious guarantee.

Seeing that some of the players came out to soften, Boas also slowed down his tone: "I know you are tired, you flew to Australia last weekend, and this week you flew back from Australia to continue to play away, fitness is our disadvantage, but I hope you can overcome these difficulties." ”

Villas-Boas then began to cheer: "From the first day I came to the team, my attitude was very clear – I came here to lead everyone to win the championship together. It was said before the game that we had never won here, but that wasn't a reason for us to relax, it should be the motivation for us to win. The Dragons were the previous champions and now we are here to win this game and get on our way to the title. ”

"It's not a big deal to be behind by a ball. Villas-Boas looked emotional, "I'm sure everyone should remember the first game of our Super League this season. It was my first game in the Super League, we conceded a goal in the first half, but in the end the victory was ours and we won 5-1. ”

"So, execute the tactics that we set out before the game, and if we do our best, we can beat any opponent. Boas shook his fist hard, "But I need your help." ”

After saying this, Boas looked at the player expectantly.

Everyone in the away team's dressing room was emotionally mobilized, and Hulk, who could directly understand Boas's Portuguese, took the initiative to stand up and shout: "Come on." ”

The players from SIPG also gathered around, and everyone pressed their hands and shouted slogans together.

The break was always short, and everyone's fifteen minutes disappeared in one fell swoop, and the game came to the second half.

'There were no substitutions on either side. Lou Yicheng paid attention to the situation on the field, "It seems that the coaches on both sides don't have much objection to their tactics in the first half. I just don't know if there will be any difference in the position. ”

'Both teams had chances in the first half. Liu Yue said, "But judging from the past data, the Longteng team is unbeaten in 42 midfield games at their home stadium, and the AFC Champions League is unbeaten in 20 games, and the total number of unbeaten games in all competitions is 73." And the holder of this record is the previous Dalian Wanda. They are unbeaten in 55 games and 59 home league games unbeaten in the years, and the Dragons still have a long way to go to catch up. ”

"However, this is also the second record of unbeaten home games in the Chinese Super League, and the momentum of the Longteng team is still very good. Of course, to break Dalian Wanda's record, it will take at least one season of competition. Lou Yicheng also touted the Longteng team.

In the second half, the first kick-off was the Longteng team, remember that the players commanded by Zhang Sheng gave Shanghai SIPG a lot of pressure from the beginning, and in just five minutes, the Longteng team completed two threatening shots, of which Chavez obviously suppressed the two central defenders of SIPG, and the second Longteng team's shot was a free kick that He Xi received a yellow card for a foul on Chavez in front of the penalty area.

"The Dragons' offensive is fierce. Lou Yicheng doesn't like to watch games with too big a gap, "Someone on SIPG's side must pass the ball out." ”

At this time, SIPG on the field because of Akhmedov's premise, the person responsible for connecting the midfield to the ball is gone, Zhang Huachen is not capable, under the pressure of the midfielder of the Longteng team, he can't turn around, and can only pass back frequently.

Boas, who was ready to attack as soon as he came up, had to make the decision to defend first, and Akhmedov, who was excellent at sweeping and intercepting, returned to the midfield position.

Zhang Sheng's strategy of relying on pressure to crush the opponent's offensive momentum has had a noticeable effect.

After Akhmedov returned to his position, SIPG's sluggish midfield improved slightly, at least not like the first few minutes of the second half, only the central defenders could blindly get up and find the striker in the frontcourt, and SIPG did not go to Elkeson, the bear, and lacked the fulcrum player who grabbed the header, after all, whether it was Hulk, Oscar or Wu Lei, he was not the kind of player who took the ball with his back and then made the ball through the high-altitude ball.

Although Shanghai SIPG's midfield has stabilized, the team's ability to move forward has not improved, and in order to close the distance with Akhmedov, Oscar and Hulk have to retreat deeper to ensure the ball under the interference of the Longteng players.

When the ball came to Oscar and Hulk, dribbling with the ball became an option for both of them, and there were pros and cons to such an option.

The good thing is that these two players are really strong in their individual ability, and although the Longteng team has done a good job of pressing and stealing, they have been repeatedly hit by the two of them.

In the twelfth minute of the second half, Hulk took the ball on the right side, Fernando strictly followed Zhang Sheng's requirements, stepped forward to press, Zhang Hao was responsible for the ball line in the middle of the card, and De Paul was responsible for the passing line on the side of the card, but Hulk chose to eat strongly.

He used his body to crash into his Brazilian countryman Fernando, and then in a short distance of less than one meter, he made two or three consecutive bicycle feints to move forward, and after the last bicycle action was completed, he accelerated again, De Paul was obviously shaken, and when Hulk accelerated, he lost his center of gravity, and he had to block Hulk by pulling people to foul.

"Hulk carried Fernando away, it was a normal physical confrontation, no fouls. Lou Yi became impressed by Hulk's personal ability, "The bike is pedaled, beautiful, past de Paul, who can only get started, this should be a yellow card." Sure enough, SIPG not only let the Longteng team get a yellow card, but also got a free kick in front. This is important for SIPG. ”

Oscar's next pass found Akhmedov in the box, whose header was too wide to pose little threat to the Dragons.

In the eighteenth minute of the second half, after Oscar used his dribbling to get a free kick in the front court, the two commentators had to sigh at the strength of SIPG's foreign aid.

"SIPG can be said to have used the two top foreign aides to the extreme. Liu Yue raised his doubts, "But if you kick like this, your physical energy will be consumed too quickly, and the chance of injury will be greatly increased......

In Liu Yue's words, the Longteng team played a counterattack, and the initiation point of the counterattack was the place where Hulk lost the ball after taking the ball for too long, and it was Zhang Hao who broke the ball.

After Zhang Hao poked the ball away from Hulk's feet, the latter habitually complained to the referee, maybe he wanted a free kick, maybe he wanted to sit on the ground to recover some strength, but this time the referee did not reason with him, and ran away directly with De Paul, who received the ball poked out by Zhang Hao.

When Hulk was still entangled with the referee and Oscar didn't have time to return to defense, the attack of the Longteng team quickly passed through the midfield, and Akhmedov and Zhang Huachen couldn't hold the big area of the midfield at all.

After the midfield was penetrated, the Longteng team had the opportunity to penetrate directly from the middle, and could also choose any side to go down to the bottom cross at will, and finally Tao Wentao's pass accurately found Xiang Tiange inserted from the right, the latter was completely undefended, aiming at the ball in the penalty area, Chavez jumped high, a powerful header to the top.

Yan Shuai's reaction was very fast, he subconsciously reached out and slapped Chavez's header, in a hurry, he couldn't choose where to shoot the racket, anyway, as long as it wasn't in his own door, the football just flew to Nie Jiang's side, Nie Jiang opened his mouth to eat the pie that fell from the sky - he swept the football into the empty goal with a sweep.

"The dragon team counterattacked, Hulk hasn't gotten up yet. Lou Yicheng obviously disagreed with Hulk's choice, "SIPG's midfield was empty at once. The Longteng team passed quickly, Tao Wentao went straight to the side, and the pass to Tiange was too comfortable, Chavez's header, Yan Shuai pounced, Nie Jiang grabbed the second point, shot, and the goal went in. The Dragons took a 2-0 lead. ”

Liu Yue shook his head regretfully: "Actually, I believe that the strength of Shanghai Hong Kong can play in a better state." The tactics of the Dragon Teng team today have given me a strong sense of déjà vu. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and now I can think about why, it's too much like the parallel 4-4-2 played by Simeone's Atletico. ”

"Since the beginning of this season. The Dragons have been trying to experiment with the drill of compact tactics. Seeing that Nie Jiang, who scored twice on the field, was surrounded by his teammates of the Longteng team in the center to touch his head, Liu Yue analyzed, "In the past, the Longteng team used tactics like 3-5-2 to use the numerical advantage of the midfield to press high, and now the parallel 4-4-2 is the European style of play after Simeone took Atletico Madrid to win the La Liga championship in the 13 to 14 seasons, relying on confrontation and running." ”

"In any case, under the leadership of Coach Zhang Sheng, the Longteng team is chasing and learning the top tactical ideas in Europe, which is very precious to these young players on the field, and Nie Jiang is one of the best. Liu Yue praised Zhang Sheng and Nie Jiang's master and apprentice at the same time, obviously recognizing the Longteng team.

If the first goal did not touch Boas, then the second goal of the Longteng team made Boas begin to reflect on the current situation on the field, and soon he made substitution adjustments, replacing Zhang Huachen with Yan Xiaoyu, which is a change in front of the back of the back, which is also in line with Boas's character - not admitting defeat, but also very adventurous.

Before Yan Xiaoyu came on the field, Boyas grabbed him and gave him a few words, and the sharp-eyed Lou Yicheng saw it at once: "Shanghai Port is a former Longteng player who transferred from the beginning of last season, Yan Xiaoyu, after he came to Shanghai Port, there are not many opportunities to play, but he performed very well in the AFC Champions League against Australia's Western Sydney Wanderers." ”

"Yes. In that game, he played well in midfield ahead of the maturity of a 21-year-old. "Liu Yue must have made up for the lesson before the game," Coach Boas estimated that he was asked to come up to strengthen the organization of the frontcourt, and his small skills can also help the team get more set-pieces. ”
