The Lions' surprise victory over Hunan Xiangtao also dealt a heavy blow to the team that hated in the knockout rounds last year. It can be seen from the scene of the fans' collective silence after the game how sad the hearts of the fans are. But the football game is like this, the moon bends and shines on Kyushu, a few happy and a few sad.

On the other side, Guangzhou Green Spring defeated CD Buffalo 8-0 home and away and advanced to the South Zone Finals.

"Lions, are you afraid?"

"Green Springs locked the champion of the Southern Region in advance, the middle league, we'll see you next year!"

The two sides have not yet started fighting, and the media has already been one-sided.

Based on the record of the two sides this season, it should be said that both sides have won and lost. However, judging from the recent form, the state of Midorisen's state can be described as a fire.

The main striker Zhang Yifu scored 22 goals in 22 league rounds, five more than Guan Xiaolong, who was second and scored 17 goals. In the knockout round, Zhang Yifu also had an excellent performance, and he won four yuan alone.

With a terrifying offensive line and an extremely stable form in recent times, Green Springs is bound to advance to the Central League.

With the warm-up of the media, the final of the South Division of the Central League is related to the showdown of the Central League places, and the Lions' home match against Guangzhou Green Spring started immediately.

One hour before the game, the Lushi Municipal Stadium was already full of spectators. The 55,561-seat municipal stadium is packed today.

The Lions Fans Association worked even harder, and under the leadership of President Liang Lu, made a huge banner that read "South China Lions, move forward bravely!" ”。 Before the game started, I saw a red eye-catching slogan in the center of the south stand, and the atmosphere of the scene was much better than that of the Chinese Super League.

At the regular press conference before the game, Liu Rentian, the head coach of Green Springs, said that he would extinguish the opponent's hope of advancing in the first round. The implication is that they are going to beat the Lions on the road.

When the reporter asked whether the head coach of the Lions was confident of advancing to the finals, Li Ming's answer was very calm: "We are in the middle league." ”

Hehe.

The lineup of Green Springs this time is 4411, Zhang Yifu rushes forward, and Wang Bo hides the front. The midfielders are Fan Wenbo, Wang Jianbo, Zheng Dongxu, Zhang Wei, defenders Xiao Jiannan, Zhou Chang, Ren Xing, and Zhao Jiandong. Goalkeeper Fan Cheng.

The Lions discharged 4231, Xue Hang singled arrow, Wang Jinheng, Zhang Yunhui, Guan Xiaolong front, Zhang Fan and Yu Yang were in the middle of the dispatch, Lin Xiao and Lin Chen were in the backcourt, and Liu Jin and Jiang Yipeng were guarding the two sides.

There was no temptation, and the Green Fountain came up with a wave of attacks. Zhang Yifu is obviously in very good shape today, but unfortunately the ball passed to him by Fan Wenbo failed to eat the positive part, otherwise Lions goalkeeper Liu Shuang would definitely have to be caught with his hands tied.

Green Spring is an old opponent, and Li Ming is naturally very familiar with it. Before the game, he made careful arrangements, allowing Lin Xiao, Yu Yang and Lin Chen to form a triangle defensive formation, specializing in joint defense against Zhang Yifu.

Although Fan Wenbo made a good ball just now, under Lin Xiao's interference, Zhang Yifu did not kick the right ball.

Green Springs has a clear advantage on the field, and the Lions don't have many chances.

With 30 minutes into the game, Green Springs knocked on the door of the Lions. Zhang Wei made a cross on the side, and Zhang Yifu scored the ball with his personal ability. In the knockout round, he has scored 5 goals alone, and no one can stop him.

There was a lament on the pitch, and everyone knew that once you fell behind against Midori Spring, it would be quite difficult to follow.

Although the Lions have turned the tables once in the regular season, Green Springs has never missed in the past 10 games, as long as it is the leading scene. In the first round of the knockout round, he gave the CD Buffalo a 5-0, and the attack power can be seen.

What has Guan Xiaolong been doing for half an hour?

Forehead...... Don't mention me, I can do it too! I can't even get the ball.

Just like the Lions' joint defense Zhang Yifu, the head coach of Green Springs also arranged a three-man joint defense formation of Wang Jianbo, Xiao Jiannan and Zhou Chang. The last time the two teams met, it really relied on the joint strangulation of these three people, and Guan Xiaolong didn't get any chance for almost the whole game.

In this game, it seems that Guan Xiaolong has not played much.

But! How could I give up so easily? My name is Taoguang, you know?

Guan Xiaolong's mouth showed a mysterious smile.

These people just don't let me take the ball, and as soon as I get the ball, three people will surround me, so I don't have space. Hmph, think I don't have any other way?

Can't I go back to the back court to get the ball? Well?

Well, I'm too cheap.

Guan Xiaolong was forced to participate in the defense of the backfield, and the team's entire defense line was pushed backwards. Originally, I wanted to fight a counterattack, but now that I am behind, it will be troublesome, and the established counterattack tactics will not work.

However, after Guan Xiaolong withdrew to the backcourt, he had more opportunities to get the ball. It's just that Midorizumi is watching too closely, and there is no chance to play.

The initiative remained in the hands of Green Springs, and the players firmly controlled the ball in the Lions half, with a staggering 2-8 possession ratio. Just like the last knockout game, the Lions don't seem to be able to escape the fate of being beaten by Green Spring.

At halftime, Li Ming encouraged the players and did not arrange any special tactics. In view of the current passive form, Li Ming feels that he can only rely on the players themselves, and the tactics have been in place, and the coach has not much to do about the disparity in strength.

Yibian fought again, and the Green Springs offensive was even stronger.

Lin Chen, who was temporarily transferred, performed very well, and this usually low-key little player was still very powerful at a critical time. If it weren't for Lin Chen's many rescues, the Lions would probably be at least three goals behind now.

The game went on 56 minutes and the Lions got a chance.

Green Springs conceded the ball in the frontcourt, which was a conceded goal at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the overall formation of Green Springs was relatively forward. Zhang Fan, who broke the ball, handed the ball to Yu Yang, and Yu Yang stuffed it straight to Xue Hang.

In the front court, Xue Hang used his strong body to carry the opponent and tossed the ball to Guan Xiaolong.

Xiao Jiannan and Wang Jianbo, who had returned to the defense, had already taken precautions against Guan Xiaolong, and had already copied forward to surround Guan Xiaolong's breakthrough route.

Green Springs coach Liu Rentian is a meticulous coach, and through repeated research, he found that Guan Xiaolong's speed and explosiveness are very strong. Defending such a player, the most taboo is to give him enough space to break through. As long as he compresses his space, no matter how fast he is, he can't run.

It is precisely by implementing the coach's joint defense idea that Green Springs will completely block Guan Xiaolong in the last duel.

But who is Guan Xiaolong?

Am I someone who is so easily beaten by difficulties?

finally got the opportunity, Wang Jinheng and Xue Hang kept testing on the guard line, waiting for Guan Xiaolong to make a decision. If Guan Xiaolong can't pass the ball, their position will run in vain.

Facing the encirclement of the three people, Guan Xiaolong rubbed his toes hard and picked up the ball!

The ball crossed Xiao Jiannan's head and floated to the space behind Zhou Chang.

Xue Hang started almost at the same time to grab this gap.

Zhou Chang couldn't touch the ball, and the situation behind him was uncertain at this time, so he didn't choose to turn around, but stepped forward to intercept Xue Hang's run.

It's just that Zhou Chang's starting speed was a little slower, and he was grabbed in front of Xue Hang. With Xue Hang's strong body, he squeezed through, and it was too late for Zhou Chang to foul.

After pressing the bouncing ball, Xue Hang took two steps forward with the ball. Left back Xiao Jiannan chased back to interfere, and there was still a pulling action in his hands. Xue Hang leaned on Xiao Jiannan and fired a low shot with his right foot. The ball is unbiased and hits the bottom left corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Fan Cheng made a full save, rubbing the ball with his fingertips, but he couldn't stop the goal from going into the net.

One-to-one!
