After winning the Chinese Super League championship this season, Dai Zhiwei didn't even have two days to rest, but after celebrating in bed with the team Zhong Luchun, he devoted himself to training on the second day after winning the championship.

Because, 4 days later, it will be the AFC Champions League semifinals between Evergrande and Gamba Osaka.

This battle is the first meeting between Evergrande and Gamba Osaka. In the 1/4 finals, Evergrande eliminated the Kashiwa Sun God 4:2 in two legs, and Evergrande achieved an excellent record of advancing to the AFC Champions League knockout stage against Japanese teams 4 times.

Gamba Osaka advanced to the semifinals after beating Jeonbuk Hyundai in the whistle, and Japanese public opinion has high expectations for Gamba Osaka, who won the AFC Champions League in 2008, to "challenge Evergrande".

Lineup of both teams|——

Evergrande:

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Zou Zheng, Jin Yingquan, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng

Midfielders: Dai Zhiwei, Paulinho, Goulart, Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen

After a series of cumbersome procedures, the game finally began, and Evergrande took the lead in kicking off.

Dai Zhiwei knocks the ball that Elkeson passed to him back to the backcourt.

Feng Xiaoting controlled the ball and simply glanced at the positions of his teammates in the field, but his eyes showed that he did not find what he was looking for, so he could only kick the ball to the right.

Zhang Linpeng ran a few steps, did not wait for the ball to stop, and directly passed the ball to push the ball forward.

Goulart immediately headed for the ball. Endo knew that he was a character to be reckoned with, and he didn't dare to be negligent and followed closely.

The ball rolled to him, and Goulart raised his left foot and made a cross to the middle, but his left foot did not hit the ball.

"Hollowed out?" Endo frowned, unable to guess what tricks the other party was up to.

But in the next moment, the ball not only passed through Goulart, but also through Endo's legs, rolling towards the two of them.

After Goulart deliberately kicked the ball into the air, he quickly turned around with his left foot, crossed over to the left side of Endo Hohito, and chased the ball with his legs.

Endo turned around and chased after him, and when the two sides were already several meters apart, he was so angry that his legs trembled.

Ordinary crotch piercing is a great shame for a defender, let alone this situation!

Endo Hohito's mood now is definitely worse than eating a fly.

Goulart didn't care what the opponent's mood was, only to see the Brazilian forward frantically rushing along the wing, as if no one was in the opponent's backfield, and slipped to the right side of the penalty area in a blink of an eye.

Then Goulart crossed directly with his foot, and the ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, and flew to the edge of the penalty area in the middle.

Gamba Osaka central defender Keisuke Iwashita was about to clear the ball with a header, but a red figure suddenly flashed on his side, and he rushed towards the Osaka Gamba penalty area along the middle.

By the time Keisuke Iwashita came to his senses, the other party had already rushed out more than ten meters away.

So explosive, so fast!

It turned out that "Little Bear" Elkeson overwhelmed Gamba Osaka's marking defender and took the lead in the battle.

But the distance was too far for Elkeson's header to pose a threat at all, and at the same time, Elkeson suddenly saw a red shadow in his peripheral vision, knowing that it was his teammate, and he didn't want to shake his head and give him the ball.

However, Elkeson still underestimated Dai Zhiwei's sprint speed, and the landing point of the football was not very good.

"It's too close!"

Dai Zhiwei said helplessly, if this ball is replaced by a Gundam player with a height of more than 1.8 meters, it will definitely not be able to be adjusted, but fortunately, Dai Zhiwei is "small and exquisite".

Dai Zhiwei adjusted his hair, lightly padd his left inner thigh, and fired a volley with his right heel, and the football flew towards the left side of the goal.

Because this goal did not give Dai Zhiwei enough space to exert his strength, the power of this shot was not large, the angle was okay, but the speed was average. Osaka Gamba goalkeeper Shunaki Higashiguchi quickly moved a few steps, flew up, and hit the bottom of the football with a single punch with his right arm, and the ball changed lines and flew over the crossbar and out of the bottom line.

Evergrande front corner.

The Evergrande fans who were closer to the stadium had all stood up and were ready to cheer and celebrate, but the football was miraculously saved by the opposing goalkeeper, and the frustration was all written on their faces, and a few radical fans couldn't help but start greeting Higashiguchi Shunzhao's mother.

Elkeson looked at Dai Zhiwei with big eyes at the same time, and said in disbelief: "Oh! Dai, you're really fast, it's my negligence! ”

Dai Zhiwei smiled and shrugged, but did not speak, Elkeson had just returned from injury, and he did not cooperate much with himself, and his understanding of himself was still lacking and unfamiliar.

Evergrande's corner kick unexpectedly chose a tactical corner, and Goulart, who was in charge of the kick-off, bent down and didn't raise it, and immediately couldn't wait to push the ball out.

Zhang Linpeng had already rushed up to assist, ran a few steps quickly, and re-drove the ball into the penalty area.

The football flew straight to the penalty spot in the penalty area, Elkeson turned his back to the goal, pressed the opposing defender with his back, and did not stop the ball, but let go of the first landing point.

Then, Elkeson immediately came and turned, and the ball had just bounced off the ground, and Elkeson's left foot had already been picked. Although he kicked the football correctly, his body was seriously unbalanced and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Bang!"

The ball grazed the turf and flew quickly towards the bottom left corner of the goal, and Higashiguchi Junaki lowered his center of gravity and swooped sideways again to knock the ball out of the penalty area.

Today, Shunaki Higashiguchi was particularly excited, and he played at a super level in this game.

Dai Zhiwei received the ball again, but he was about to cooperate with Huang Bowen after a two-one, but he was directly pulled down by the opponent's defender, "Tut! The referee then immediately blew the whistle that Dai Zhiwei desperately wanted to hear.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Evergrande won a superb free kick in front. It's about 29 meters from the goal.

The teammates rushed up, but in the end, under Paulinho's sharp eyes, all the teammates raised their hands and surrendered unconditionally.

Paulinho placed the ball squarely, slowly took seven or eight steps back, squinted at the enemy in front of him, and quietly waited for the referee's whistle.

"Toot!"

At the moment when the whistle sounded, Paulinho activated, his legs suddenly became faster, his left foot was supported, and the inside of his right foot poked the bottom of the football fiercely, only to see a beautiful rainbow spinning quickly over the opponent's wall.

Higashiguchi stood in the middle of the goal, staring at the flight path of the soccer ball, his head slowly twisting until the ball flew into the net, and did not make any movement during the process.

The speed of this ball is so fast!

"Alas, I don't know when I'll be able to save up enough points to redeem for Big Sky Wing's 'Curve Shot'!" Dai Zhiwei thought with envy and jealousy.

"You still have to eat one bite at a time, so let's save enough for Hinata Kojiro's 'Tiger Shot' first!" Dai Zhiwei calculated, "It is estimated that it will be after two or three games!" ”

"Yay!"

Paulinho finally scored his first free-kick goal in the Premier League, and he was so excited that he jumped all at once.

Teammates also surrounded him, and now Evergrande with a one-goal lead will play better in this game.

After the first half of the game, the two sides attacked and defended each other, but today the goalkeepers of both teams, whether it was Shunaki Higashiguchi or Zeng Cheng, were in very good shape, and both teams had no chance to score, and finally the two teams entered the halftime break with a score of 1:0.

"Today I'm hoping to celebrate our league title with a big win, to end the suspense of this leg of the game without bringing the difficulties to the road, and I think that's what most of you want, right?" Cannavaro cheered in the locker room.

"No problem!"

Zheng Zhi, the captain of the team, stood up with a shout, patted Cannavaro on the shoulder, and walked out of the locker room first. Goulart and Dai Zhiwei followed one after another, and the players walked out of the locker room one by one, ready for the second half of the game.

At the start of the second half, players from both sides returned to the pitch from the beginning.

Gamba Osaka because of a goal behind, the attack on the field is more intense, the number of attackers has increased to 8, in addition to the 2 central defenders and goalkeepers, even the two fullbacks are about to become full-backs, almost all the players on the field have joined the attack, and their attacks can already play some smooth coordination.

I have to say that island country football does have its own unique side, from high school teams to national teams, all of which are almost the same style, which also causes the island country's football resources to have not been broken, unlike Chinese football.

However, compared with Gamba Osaka, Evergrande is stronger with foreign aid as the main force, and this change in the opponent also provides convenience for Evergrande, the opponent's defensive ability is greatly weakened, and the forward line can already easily receive the ball, unlike in the first half, when Dai Zhiwei and Elkeson just touched the ball, several defenders on the other side have already flocked to it.

"Next, it's up to me!" Dai Zhiwei is ready to seal the win for the team.

By this time, he had returned to the right, but continued his frenzied post-first half, in surprisingly good form, and frequently caused problems for the opposition full-backs.

Moreover, stimulated by Paulinho's goal, Dai Zhiwei's desire to shoot was very strong, and when he burst into the penalty area, sometimes splitting the ball, sometimes shooting from a distance, Gamba Osaka's defenders couldn't guess what he was going to do next, and his activity also created more opportunities for Goulart and Elkeson.
