Chapter Eighty-Two: Victory in Battle
Guangzhou, Tianhe Stadium, Evergrande's locker room. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info players are talking with smiles on their faces, and one of the young players is constantly patting his head by a group of big brothers.
"Well done! Lin Fan. ”
"Your free kick is getting more and more demonic!"
"It seems that you, the national security killer, are decided. ”
"You scored the national goal on the pitch and you scored again this time. It's very good!"
"Hehe, I felt like I was in great shape on the pitch today. I didn't expect it to be scored. Ha ha. Lin Fan looked very happy under the praise of the big brothers. Today was his first start, and although it was only the FA Cup, it meant a lot to him. I can start and I can score. It's definitely a very good thing for him. This kind of performance will make him more and more trusted by Scolari.
"Lin Fan, you performed very well. The second half continued. Captain Zheng Zhi rubbed Lin Fan's hair with a smile, and then sighed and said, "Seeing that you are playing so well at your age, I suddenly feel that I can start thinking about retirement." ”
"Don't! Brother Zhi. The team can't live without you. The team needs you. Lin Fan was rarely humble this time. Although Zheng Zhi is disliked by many people, he is indeed very capable. is 36 years old, and he has always been the captain of Evergrande. No matter which coach comes, he is the captain who is highly used. Lin Fan didn't feel that he had the strength to replace Zheng Zhi.
"I really feel old when I see you. Old. Zheng Zhi smiled and shook his head and sat down in his seat.
"This game, it looks like we have won. ”
"In fact, Guoan played with a lot of momentum at the beginning. However, after Lin Fan's goal, they wilted. ”
"This year's national security feels worse than last year. ”
The players started talking about the first half of the game and they were all confident of winning the game.
Even manager Scolari walked into the dressing room with the same joy, and even the slightest hint of pressure on his face could be seen. In his opinion, this game is already nine out of ten.
Back to R&F's side, also in the locker room. R&F people don't have the same confidence as Evergrande. It wasn't an easy first half. Although the kick was evenly matched, in fact, Huaxia Happiness was more dominant, with more shots on goal and more shots on target.
It was precisely because R&F did not play well in the first half that their faces were not easy when they returned to the locker room.
As the head coach, Captain Ikovic also knows that the team will be like this, mainly because the body is too tired. When the overall form of the team is not good, you can't be too the players under you.
"The first half was okay. Even when we were tired, we were able to withstand the onslaught of our opponents. This is good. We have a win in our hands and it works in our favor. In the second half, the opponent will definitely attack. Therefore, we need to defend well in the second half and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack. '''''' "At this point, Stojkovic didn't care about what he said before the game, thinking that the offense would replace the defense. It turned out that the team was in this situation, he used offense instead of hidden defense, and he couldn't kick out the tactics of controlling the ball to weaken his physical weakness, so he could only choose to defend well first.
The break was actually short, and Stojkovic had to get back to the pitch after laying out some tactics.
After returning to the court, the R&F players first formed a circle and kept cheering themselves on. R&F is not easy, in fact, Huaxia Happiness is even more relaxed, which can be seen from the solemn face of their head coach Li Tie on the sidelines.
What was going on in the second half, everyone was clear, very clear. That is, Huaxia Happiness had to press out to attack, and R&F must be defending and counterattacking.
In fact, after the beginning of the second half, Huaxia Happiness pressed out to attack with all its might. They attacked fiercely and had a fierce momentum. But R&F is more unified and clear in thinking at this time, and defends first with all his might.
One side decided to defend and the other side had to attack, and it was not easy for the attacking side to score goals in such a game. Huaxia Happiness wanted to attack, and Guangzhou R&F defended it with all its might, which made the fight fierce.
Frequent scrambling brings a lot of physical contact, which makes the smell of gunpowder stronger. Especially when Mbiya's temper burst was even worse when he was constantly pressed up and touched Yan Feng. After several desperate killings, Mbiya almost pinched Yan Feng.
There is a lot of physical contact between the two, and with the physical confrontation like Mars touching the earth, it is impossible to be harmonious. Because there were a lot of verbal disputes, both of them were given verbal warnings by the referee.
The clash between Yan Feng and Mbiya alone can see how fierce this game is. In fact, these two are not the only ones who are at odds. Jiang Zhipeng and Gervinho have also had conflicts with each other's chests. It's not easy to score goals in this kind of fierce confrontation. Of course, it's not easy to prevent it.
Compared with the stalemate between Guangzhou Evergrande and Huaxia Happiness, on the other hand, Evergrande's more focused battle against Guoan is different.
Guangzhou Evergrande's soldiers returned to the field from the locker room with a smile, while the Guoan players looked a little depressed. In this case, after 20 minutes of the second half, Evergrande had already scored another goal and led Guoan 2:0. It looks like another hand-to-hand victory.
Back on R&F's side, Yan Feng and his teammates were still desperately resisting Huaxia Happiness's attack. In the first 20 minutes, R&F did not have any effective counter-attacks except for a few counter-attacks that allowed Zahavi to have some chances.
It was hard work, but they withstood the onslaught for almost 20 minutes. And after that, Huaxia Happiness, which had been unable to attack for a long time, became more and more anxious. In this urgency, the kick is getting simpler and more direct. Often, long passes are chosen to find strikers.
In this case, R&F is playing more and more easily. I'm not afraid that you're in a hurry, I'm afraid that you've been composing and slowly attacking. Now, R&F has found a good opportunity. In the 69th minute, Zahavi's shot on the counter-attack almost opened the scoring again.
After 70 minutes, Li Tie was already so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet. He kept yelling on the sidelines, waving his hand to get the player to attack again. It's a pity that after being hit by Guangzhou R&F several threatening counterattacks, Li Tie's players didn't dare to press too much.
"Now is our chance. Finally withstood their attack. Now they're almost out of energy, and the momentum is going down. It's our turn. Seeing this, Yan Feng began to feel that the team's opportunity had come.
"It's time to win them. Yan Feng said to his teammates with a full face.
"That's right, win them. "My teammates who heard it were also very convinced. The opponent has wilted, and they are more physically advantaged by focusing on the defense at the back.
Guangzhou R&F, who began to press back, played more confidently with a psychological advantage. At this time, the power of Guangzhou R&F's pass-and-control style began to appear. Their conduction made it difficult for the declining Huaxia Happiness players to intercept and thus in turn occupy the upper hand on the field.
Guangzhou R&F, which had the upper hand, played calmly, making it difficult for Huaxia Happiness, who was eager to attack.
Seeing that time is getting less and less, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Huaxia Happiness. In a hurry, they began to pursue the ball of Guangzhou R&F fiercely. And the calm R&F players are no longer in a hurry to attack, but are constantly pounding backwards.
But when the ball smashed to Yan Feng's feet, Mbiya, who happened to be happy in China, rushed over to break the ball. Mbiya's momentum was very violent, and he looked like he was about to cut off Yan Feng's ball.
It's a pity that Yan Feng is not afraid of the opponent's pressing. Pressing up and grabbing, easy to kick is Yan Feng's favorite. Mbiya's seemingly scary upward pounce was easily dodged by Yan Feng with a counter-push and push. failed to grab the ball but because the momentum was too fierce, Mbiya couldn't catch up with Yan Feng after this.
Yan Feng, who rushed towards the ball with the ball, was agitated in his heart at this moment. The desire to attack in his heart had been completely ignited. He's going to attack, he's going to help the team score.
Of course, the people of Huaxia Happiness will definitely not sit idly by and let him keep moving forward. The midfielder Li Xing, who could pounce, was also pushed by Yan Feng and gave him a clean up.
Yan Feng was still pushing forward, constantly approaching his range. Du Wei, the defender of Huaxia Happiness who had studied Yan Feng, had to step forward to block him at this time. And just when Dewey blocked up, Yan Feng chose to pass.
That's right. Yan Feng passed. Because he saw the gap left by Dewey, Zahavi was running there.
Yan Feng's pass this time was very successful, his not accurate pass, but he passed very well this time. After Zahavi ran to the position, he half-turned and shot without stopping the ball. The defender who defended against Zahavi failed to block the ball and the ball flew into the far corner against the ground.
"Goal!"
"R&F has taken the lead away!"
"We've won!"
At this time, the people of R&F were excited. It's been 70 minutes, the first leg has been won, and now it's still leading. It's a win. The people of R&F were celebrating excitedly.
This goal completely defeated Huaxia Happiness. Scored by R&F at home, they had to score two goals in a row to win. But they have been fighting for so long, and they haven't been able to score yet. Confidence has been lost.
After losing confidence, it will be difficult for Huaxia Happiness to threaten Guangzhou R&F's goal. In the end, Li Tie's anger was frustrated, and they still failed to score. In the last game, 1:0, Guangzhou R&F won. Guangzhou R&F successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
And when Guangzhou R&F was celebrating the victory, the Evergrande team in Guangzhou was also celebrating happily. Evergrande once again stabbed Guoan at home with the lowest consumption.
Guangzhou Evergrande also successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. And their opponent will be Guangzhou R&F, who also won. Once again, it seems to be fate that the two teams will fight to the death this season.
"Brother Feng, it seems that soon we will fight again. Are you ready?" Lin Fan, who started the game and scored a goal and an assist, looked up at the sky and thought to himself after celebrating with his teammates.
"Is it going to be another fight? I'm not going to lose to you. As if feeling the same way, Yan Feng also looked up at the sky after celebrating with his teammates, as if Lin Fan's kid was fighting against him. (To be continued.) )
