Chapter 7: Reappearing
The game became more and more difficult for Guangzhou Evergrande, Chongqing Lifan, who occupied the advantage of the home field, frequently threatened Guangzhou Evergrande's goal, but fortunately, Chongqing Lifan wasted many good opportunities to score.
Chongqing Lifan rushed to score in the first half, but instead missed two good chances to shoot from inside the box.
Evergrande is superior after all, Evergrande took the initiative to control the ball and retracted Evergrande scored in the 32nd minute - Elkeson used his personal ability on the left side to get rid of the cross, and Goulart's header in the middle of the penalty area formed the effect of hanging the goal corner, and the Guangzhou team led 1:0.
However, Chongqing Lifan quickly scored after that - Jackson crossed diagonally from the middle behind the Guangzhou team's defense, Zhang Chiming quickly stepped forward to face the goalkeeper and fired a low shot to bring the score back to the same running line.
The first half lasted until the end of the period, with neither side making another effort and both sides returning to the dressing room with a 1-1 score.
In the locker room, Cannavaro did not change his tactics, still asking the team to continue to defend and counterattack, and the players had no opinions.
However, soon after the start of the second half, Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao team almost suffered a blow, in the 69th minute, Chongqing Lifan's midfielder Wang Dong drove a corner kick on the right side, Sun Jihai's header ferried, and substitute Liu Weidong's close-range header hit the goal frame.
However, this has scared Cannavaro out of a cold sweat, knowing that if the team continues to defend so passively, I am afraid that Chongqing Lifan's opportunity to score will come in the next moment.
And Evergrande, as the defending champion, came here not only to pursue one point!
Cannavaro looked back at the bench and finally made up his mind.
"David! Warm up! Get ready to play! ”
Listening to the words of the team's translator, Dai Zhiwei, who was still anxiously watching the performance of his teammates, "buzzed" again.
Play?
Now put yourself on the field?
Dai Zhiwei is happy!
Do your own prayers really work?
In the 71st minute of the game, Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao defender Feng Xiaoting was forced to tackle the opponent on the right side outside the penalty area in order to block the opponent's cross, and was warned by referee Bol with a yellow card and awarded a free kick.
At this time, the Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao team also played a substitution display.
Down on the 29th, up on the 24th!
Dai Zhiwei's body, which had been constantly moving, stopped, and he suddenly became quiet.
Gao Lin had just been kicked in the calf by Sun Jihai, which more or less affected his running, so Cannavaro replaced him.
When Gao Lin ran to the sidelines, Dai Zhiwei hurriedly hugged him and stepped on the court again.
This is not just stepping on Yanghe Stadium, this is also a step for Dai Zhiwei to become a green superstar!
Feng Xiaoting's foul gave Chongqing Lifan a free kick on the right side outside the penalty area, although the angle of the direct free kick was too small, but it was a good opportunity to pass the free kick to the goal, much better than the corner kick opportunity.
Players from both sides huddled in front of the small penalty area, with more or less pulling movements in their hands.
At this time, Augusto, who had just scored but was blown off by the referee, retreated to the top of the penalty arc in the penalty area before standing, and then he looked at Wang Dong, who was standing in front of the football and preparing to take a free kick.
Wang Dong was also looking at him, with a surprised and questioning expression, but Augusto made a strange gesture towards him.
Wang Dong seemed to understand something and nodded, but no one else found the code between the two. I saw Wang Dong take a step back and prepare to take the ball.
At the same time as he ran and kicked the football, Augusto, who was originally standing outside the penalty area, jumped on the spot, and then took a deep breath, like a sprint penalty kick, and rushed straight into the penalty area!
Seeing the football flying forward, Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao team defender Feng Xiaoting also jumped up, wanting to push the ball out one step ahead of Augusto.
But this cross ball was a little higher than usual, Feng Xiaoting couldn't reach it at all, it was like a roof, the football almost flew over his scalp, and Augusto was just able to hit this incoming ball!
But at this time, when Augusto was looking forward to scoring a goal, at the same time, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a yellow figure suddenly appearing from the sky!
There was a huge boo from the stands at Yanghe Stadium, which startled him by the sudden appearance.
What's the matter...... It's going to happen?
I saw a figure wearing the yellow jersey of Guangzhou Evergrande suddenly appeared beside Augusto, like an Apache helicopter, as if flying in the air.
The man jumped so high that his feet were no less than 1 meter above the ground, and he pushed the football off the baseline by nearly half a head above Augusto.
Augusto fell back to the ground in embarrassment, turned his head and saw that this "monster" that had easily defeated himself in the air had been surrounded by several players of the Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao team to celebrate, and the jersey number of this "monster" Augusto will never forget - Guangzhou Evergrande No. 24!
You must know that Augusto, who was the top scorer in the Chinese League last season, was 184cm, and Dai Zhiwei's height was only 175cm, and the latter's terrifying bounce power was really amazing!
Dai Zhiwei, who had an outstanding performance on the defensive end as soon as he appeared on the court, then received special care from Chongqing Lifan players on the offensive end.
Although most of them are only at the middle and lower reaches of the Chinese Super League, and they can't be compared with a bunch of bright stars of the Evergrande team, but every player in Chongqing Lifan is also an old fritter who has been playing in the Chinese League for several years.
Although Dai Zhiwei has amazing speed and outstanding dribbling ability, when dribbling the ball, Chongqing Lifan's defender suddenly pulled Dai Zhiwei's clothes to prevent Dai Zhiwei from starting to speed, and then quickly let go; Push Dai Zhiwei's center of gravity with his arms and calves - these are very subtle small movements, but they are very effective.
There are many small actions like this, and they are not missing at all, all of them are used on Dai Zhiwei, and Dai Zhiwei has not learned to deal with small actions such as fake falls, so he can only be tired of coping.
However, what is unfair on the football field is that it only takes one success for an attacking player, even if a defensive player has succeeded a dozen times before, it is a failure.
Dai Zhiwei found an opportunity in the 75th minute, and after switching positions with Goulart in a counterattack, he was pulled to the left side, broke through the defense line of Chongqing Lifan with a butterfly-like dribble, and then calmly crossed with his feet.
If it weren't for the opponent's goalkeeper's outstanding performance, Dai Zhiwei would have assisted Elkeson to take the lead again for Guangzhou Evergrande and lock up the win.
It was Goulart who broke through on the left and passed the ball to Dai Zhiwei.
Dai Zhiwei took the ball at the front of the penalty area, and Sun Jihai, the old captain of Chongqing Lifan, stuck up again, and while constantly pushing him behind him, he also kept sinisterly pushing Dai Zhiwei's thigh with his knees.
Everyone knows that it will be itchy and uncomfortable if someone resists that place, but such an action will not be seen by the referee, and even if he sees it, he will not be easily punished, so Dai Zhiwei can only endure it.
This is the experience of Sun Jihai, who has worked hard in the Premier League for many years!
Seeing Rene running towards him, Dai Zhiwei was about to return the ball to him, but suddenly there was a numbness in his waist and eyes, and he couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't grasp the one under his feet, and the football bounced out!
Gao Latt next to him could see it clearly, and at the moment when Dai Zhiwei was about to pass the ball, Sun Jihai suddenly sinisterly used his body to block it, and stabbed a finger at Dai Zhiwei's waist with his thumb.
At this time, the football has left Dai Zhiwei's control, and it is difficult for him to control the ball anymore. Chongqing Lifan's other centre-back, Lyer, was preparing to kick the ball out of the danger zone.
But at this time, Dai Zhiwei suddenly took a big step forward, his pace was already half larger than that of ordinary people, and this time he took a step forward and directly stabbed the football to Goulart on the left.
The two central defenders of the opposing side couldn't hold their feet and collided with Dai Zhiwei, at this time, Goulart on the left side of the penalty area was just unguarded and empty!
Goulart received Dai Zhiwei's ball, took a step forward, and then suddenly picked up his left foot and slammed the football!
It happened suddenly, not only the defenders of Chongqing Lifan did not expect that Dai Zhiwei would turn his mistake into a wonderful pass, and Gaolat would shoot from outside the penalty area, and even the teammates of Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao team could not imagine that Gaolat would choose to shoot from a distance at this time.
The football flew out from the feet of Goulart with a strong air current, no one knows how hard Goulart used this shot, the football quickly flew into the penalty area, flew accurately to the left side of the goal, and also bounced on the ground at the edge of the small penalty area, which was the most difficult rebound ball for a goalkeeper to control!
It stands to reason that Goulart's shot is of high quality, and the goalkeeper's prediction may not be accurate, but today Chongqing Lifan goalkeeper Sui Weijie is like taking medicine, and this time the reaction is extremely fast.
As soon as the football flew into the penalty area, he reacted, and in the face of such a long-range shot with good speed, power and angle, Sui Weijie punched the ball out with a single leap.
But this football Sui Weijie still didn't control it well, and the football he hit was still within the penalty area, and the landing point was at the front of the small penalty area!
