Chapter 1791: Courage Creates Temperament
PS: Thank you sxsd007 for your tip!
After a short break, the smoke of gunfire rose again on the green field.
The Etihad, who was at a disadvantage due to the lack of away goals, had to go on the offensive or accept the fate of being eliminated.
It's a pity that Guang. The head coach of Zhou Evergrande is not those domestic vegetables, but Lippi, known as the silver fox.
The old guy has been in continental football for decades, has won countless top honors in the world, and has experienced countless vicious battles. The insight into the minds of opponents is far from being matched by the head coach of a West Asian team.
When the Etihad began to play offensive tactics, Guang. Zhou Evergrande did not choose a more labor-saving defensive counterattack, but compared the offensive efficiency with the opponent.
Lippi knows deep that the skills of the Chinese players are too rough, and it is impossible to form a tight defensive line with a high sense of teamwork and a tight spirit at all times.
All it takes is the slightest slip to get the Etihad to score a goal, and then the situation changes dramatically.
Take advantage of today's wide. The morale of Zhou Evergrande is high, and it is not certain who will kill the deer.
Less than three minutes into the second half, the Chinese defender's rough skills were seized by Ittihad and allowed the opponent to score a crucial goal.
When this situation happened, the hearts of countless Chinese fans were pinched, and many sensitive female fans shed sad tears.
Don't blame them, who said that the past achievements of Chinese football are so gloomy.
For a long time, Chinese football has lacked that kind of perseverance. In the face of adversity and adversity, dying inaction is the only result.
Now wide. When Zhou Evergrande just saw the dawn of victory, it fell behind again, much like the fate of Chinese football.
Among the tens of thousands of spectators present, perhaps only Cui Zhengyuan has not despaired.
He has been observing the situation on the field and found that Evergrande did not play any messy after falling behind. On the contrary, because of backwardness. Their attacks were even more ferocious, with a violent murderous aura.
Less than five minutes after the Etihad team scored, Park Ji-sung robbed in front, causing the Etihad team's midfielder to pass the ball in a hurry, only to be intercepted by Hwang Bowen, who was pressing.
Huang Bowen just took a step forward, and suddenly burst into action.
God, he got up 40 meters from the goal. However, the switch between attack and defense was too fast, and the Etihad goalkeeper was still moving forward.
In the face of this furious world wave, he had no choice but to watch the ball crash into the goal. Fly high with the net.
The goal quickly brought Tianhe Stadium back to life, and countless fans rushed forward frantically, clutching the railing and roaring to their heart's content.
Cui Zhengyuan was even more excited, and he didn't care about the camera, and jumped with Yuli in his arms.
Huang Bowen's goal was so relieved and came in time. If it is a little later, the momentum of the Evergrande players will be exhausted, and it will really be a lack of strength.
Cui Zhengyuan saw it in his eyes and had already made a decision in his heart. No surprises. Among Evergrande's main midfielders in the future, there must be a place for this player.
Evergrande, who equalized again, was unforgiving, and when the next corner kick attacked, he watched the movement of all the players. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Choi Jung-won's mouth.
When he went to visit the players before the game, he casually said a whimsical corner kick tactic, which stunned the long-time players.
But if you think about it, the tactics he said are really very operational. And the drill is not very difficult. In the lobby of the hotel where the team was resting, the players experimented and found that this tactic really had a surprising effect.
After the referee blows the whistle. I saw that the players involved in the attack did not wander around in the opponent's penalty area, but suddenly formed a human wall, squeezing the Etihad defenders inward.
Seeing that Evergrande's players gathered together and formed a powerful force, Etihad's players were also forced to gather together to resist the oppression of the other party.
At this time, Conca took a corner kick, and a beautiful arc cut through the sky, and the landing point was behind the wall of Evergrande players.
The Etihad players had seen where the ball had landed, but the wall in front of them blocked their route.
But it turned out that Evergrande players played rugby tactics in football games.
Seeing that the football was getting closer and closer to the ground, a fiery red figure rushed towards it with a phantom.
When it was about to get close to the point where the ball landed, the figure jumped in the air with the help of the explosive power of the sprint, and only the fast ball was in its resolute gaze.
It's none other than Evergrande's main central defender Nemanja Vidic.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Vidic, but they didn't notice that there was already an Evergrande player standing on the grass where the ball landed.
This person is Evergrande striker Gao Lin, when everyone is competing for the position, he does not move, as if he is out of the matter.
Originally, he didn't look positive enough, but now, it proves that he was premeditated.
Vidic's jumping figure climbed to the top, right in front of Gao Lin. I saw that the homegrown striker suddenly stretched out his arms and slammed Vidic's hips.
Nemanja Vidic was the main centre-back of the Red Devils at the time, and in addition to his superb defensive skills, he also had an extraordinary ability to head the ball in attack.
To be able to score goals in the top European leagues is a testament to his physicality and bouncing ability.
In Asia, where physical fitness is generally inferior, his advantage is even more obvious.
At this time, the other players of Evergrande used a human wall to cover him, allowing him to jump without hindrance, and he had reached the maximum height he could jump.
Then Gao Lin pushed him again, making his figure that was already standing out from the crowd jump up a big step again.
That way, there was no one left to stop his header.
It can be said that even if the Etihad players jumped next to him at this time, they could not compare to him in height.
Of the 23 people in the stadium, Vidic was the only focus. He jumped to unprecedented heights, just as the ball landed in front of his eyes.
Perhaps in his entire career, Vidic has never had such a comfortable header.
Without any interference, he had time to aim for the goal in the air, then shook his head hard and headed the ball away from the goalkeeper.
He was condescending and full of force, and he was only seven or eight meters away from the goal. The ball slammed into it, changed direction abruptly, and scurried towards the top left corner of the goal.
The Etihad goalkeeper leaped high and stretched his arms to the maximum, but he was still less than two centimetres away from the ball.
In mid-air, you can only watch the ball go into the net.
All he could do was close his eyes in agony and feel like his team was one step closer to elimination.
"Oh my God, my eyes are not wrong. Is this Evergrande's new corner kick tactic? Isn't that supposed to be on a rugby field? With Gao Lin's help, Vidic jumped really high. After his header, the Etihad goalkeeper must have mistakenly thought that it was not a football that hit him, but a cannonball. Haha, Guang. Zhou Evergrande scored again, and now the score on the field is 4:1, and they have a one-goal lead on aggregate, firmly holding the initiative of promotion in their hands. The famous football commentator Huang Jianxiang chattered a lot, and was also shocked by Evergrande's novel corner kick tactics.
Because he jumped too high, Vidic stumbled when he landed, and he really fell on his heels.
But he couldn't care about this anymore, and when he got up, he ran on the green field with a wild smile on his face.
Such classic tactics and goals are destined to leave a strong mark in the history of world football. And he will be remembered as the protagonist for this.
Compared to such a glorious moment, what is a fall?
Evergrande's novel corner kick tactics were successful, completely breaking down the psychological defence of the Etihad players, leaving them at a loss as if they could not beat their opponents at all.
In the 80th minute of the second half, the old captain Zheng Ji exhausted himself, and the new generation of players, Korean boy Park Sung, came on as a substitute.
Compared with Zheng Zhilai, Park Sung's experience is definitely insufficient. But he was young, full of physical strength, and spiritually higher.
In the past two years, under the admonition of Cui Zhengyuan, he abandoned his bad habits early and became a self-disciplined player.
With the help of the top trainers in Europe brought by Lippi, the progress has been rapid, and it has become the future of Evergrande Club.
As early as off the court, he watched for his opponent's loopholes. After he got on the field, he continued to use his physical strength and speed to repeatedly impact the opponent's defense.
In the 89th minute, Park Sung received a cross from the left back in the middle of the midfield. Suddenly, with the outside of his instep, the ball made an arc, strangely passed between the Etihad midfielder and the full-back, and fell to the feet of Muric, who was inserting at high speed.
Muric didn't waste the perfect chance to squeeze the ball into the far corner of the goal in the opposite direction.
The Etihad goalkeeper was out of reach and once again watched the ball get into his own door.
All the Chinese fans were shouting wildly at this moment, celebrating the game-winning goal.
Only Huang Jianxiang, who was still focusing on the commentary, gave high praise to Park Cheng, who gave the assist. "Déjà vu assist, from now on, please call our Park to become China's Modric."
After the equalizer, was exceeded, equalized again, and then overtaken, in this 90-minute game, Evergrande always gritted its teeth and persevered to the end.
They did not inherit the traditional collapse of the Chinese team, but exchanged great courage and boiling blood for a victory that did not exist.
It is believed that through this classic victory, Evergrande will soon become the king of Asia as it did in its previous life.
No, they will definitely do better. (To be continued......)
