A month later, at Guangzhou Wanhe Stadium, with the referee's whistle, the first game of the 2019-2020 Chinese Super League Club Reserve League Evergrande Reserve Team officially kicked off.

Because it is a reserve league, the attraction is limited, and there are only two or three thousand fans who come to watch the game, and there could have been 20,000 people on the Wanhe Stadium.

It has been more than a month since he came to the reserve team, and Chen Long has gradually become familiar with some of the tactical cooperation of the reserve team, but after all, he has never played a professional game, so in this game, Li Yi did not let Chen Long start, but only put his name in the squad.

The first opponent of the Evergrande Reserve Team is the Henan Jianye Reserve Team.

Judging from the results of the first team of the two clubs, Henan Jianye can definitely be called the bitter master of Evergrande, the two teams have played against each other many times, although Evergrande's winning rate is relatively higher, but almost every game Evergrande has played very hard.

Perhaps it is a continuation of the style of the first team, and the many duels between Evergrande Reserve and Jianye Reserve are just as difficult.

As soon as this game began, the two sides started a quick offensive and defensive transition battle.

Chen Long on the bench, looking at the performance of the players on both sides on the field, couldn't help but sigh, although it was only a reserve league, the intensity of the game was something he had never experienced.

With 23 minutes played, the first goal of the game was scored.

Jianye No. 13 striker Song Kai, taking advantage of the mistake of the Evergrande defender to clear the siege, pushed the ball with his right foot and kicked the ball into Evergrande's goal.

Jianye took the lead in scoring, and the score became 1:0.

Playing at home, the opponent scored first in just 23 minutes, which is definitely not what coach Li Yi wants to see.

You must make adjustments quickly, otherwise you may lose the ball, staring at the situation on the field, Li Yi's thinking quickly turned.

Li Yi inadvertently glanced at the bench Chen Long and found that the latter's eyes were staring intently at the game scene on the field.

Li Yi also smiled slightly, perhaps, for Long Chen, nervousness is not what he should have.

Chen Long has been training in the reserve team for more than a month, and Li Yi found that Chen Long has a characteristic, that is, he is very calm, hardly like a 12-year-old child.

After looking at Long Chen for a while, Li Yi told himself, "Let's wait first!" At the moment just now, he planned to let Long Chen appear, but after all, he did not make this decision.

After more than a month of daily training, Li Yi still recognized Chen Long's ability, and at the same time, Chen Long gradually won the recognition of other players in the team.

From the perspective of personal ability, Chen Long can definitely start.

However, Chen Long had never played a game of such intensity after all, so Li Yi preferred to send Chen Long on the field when the team was in a favorable situation, which is why he did not replace Chen Long just now.

In the 40th minute of the first half of the game, Evergrande's midfielder Wang Hao, that is, Chen Long's roommate, got a long pass from Evergrande's right-back Xiao Suo in the middle, quickly pushed the ball through Jianye's half, and suddenly got up about 5 meters away from the penalty area, and came with a powerful volley.

The Jianye goalkeeper did not have time to react in the face of Wang Hao, who suddenly shot with his feet.

The ball quickly flew over the penalty area, crossed an arc, and drilled into the net with a "bang".

1:1, Evergrande finally equalized, and Li Yi on the sidelines also let out a long breath.

After the goal, Wang Hao looked very excited, and kept running on the field to celebrate, this goal, although there was a certain element of luck in it, but after all, it still scored, this was the first goal he scored when he returned to Evergrande.

Chen Long on the bench, the moment he saw Wang Hao's goal, he was also happy for Wang Hao from the bottom of his heart.

lives in the same bedroom with Wang Hao, and Chen Long has more or less some understanding of the former's situation.

As far as Chen Long knows, Wang Hao is a young player sent abroad by Evergrande Club very early, and among the players sent in the same period, his performance is excellent, and he was recalled by the club during the winter break of last season.

With the brand of returnees, after returning to Evergrande, Wang Hao's performance has been unsatisfactory, and in the several rounds of the reserve league that are about to end last season, Wang Hao started all the games, but only had 2 assists.

Wang Hao is 18 years old, and the club recalled him with the intention of hoping that he can grow up quickly through the reserve league and then be promoted to the first team to make a difference.

Obviously, his performance did not meet the club's expectations, so Wang Hao has been under a lot of pressure from the end of last season to the present.

For Wang Hao, this season is a battle of redemption, if he can't play at a high level, he may be eliminated by the club, which is definitely not a good thing for his career!

In fact, as far as Chen Long knows, among the more than 20 players in the reserve team, there are several players who are in the same situation as Wang Hao.

In the second half of stoppage time, both teams did not score in the first half after Wang Hao scored.

As soon as the second half came up, Jianye took the lead in choosing substitutions, because the reserve league rules allowed for 5 substitutions, so Jianye replaced three defensive players in a row and replaced three offensive players.

Coach Jian is obviously hoping to strengthen the team's offensive firepower in order to win against Evergrande.

Jianye's personnel adjustment has caused a lot of pressure on Evergrande, and the situation on the field is becoming more and more unfavorable, and there is a possibility of conceding goals at any time.

"Gao Sheng, tell Long Chen to warm up!"

Li Yi obviously intends to let Chen Long play, although the score on the field at the moment is 1:1, Evergrande does not have any advantage, but he feels that replacing Chen Long at this time may be the best time.

Chen Long's characteristics are very distinct, although he is a Zhengyin center, but his organizational skills are also excellent, so Li Yi doesn't mind having a confrontation with Jianye.

"Let Chen Long play now, will there be some?"

Assistant coach Gao Sheng asked with some doubts, although Chen Long said that he usually trains and performs well, but now that he has changed it at this time period, it is obvious that he is a little confused about Li Yi's intentions.

"Gao Sheng, believe me, Long Chen will bring surprises"

In fact, this is just Li Yi's hunch, and he doesn't know what kind of performance Chen Long will have on the court, but, subconsciously, he feels that Chen Long will definitely surprise everyone.

The assistant coach came over and told him to warm up and play soon, which made Chen Long a little surprised, and his reserve team debut was finally coming.
