----------
The 31st round of the league, nicknamed the "Chinese Super League Finals", has ended, and after Youzhou Institute of Technology defeated Yangcheng Hengyuan 3:0, they are close to their first Chinese Super League championship trophy. And with the advancement of the league schedule, the only remaining suspense of the championship has been worn out little by little.
On April 25, in the 34th round of the Chinese Super League, Youzhou Institute of Technology challenged its rival Youzhou Lotte away. After the 6-0 victory over the opponent, Polytechnic's points reached 98 points, breaking the five-year-old Chinese football top league points record held by Yangcheng Hengyuan.
On April 29, in the 35th round of the Chinese Super League, Youzhou Institute of Technology hosted Songjiang Hongshen. Polytechnic's goal is to win the title early and remain unbeaten in the season. Hongshen are aiming for a top-three finish in the table and qualifying for next season's AFC Champions League group stage, while they are now just three points away from third-placed Yangcheng Hengyuan. Therefore, both sides of this match want to try their best to win a victory.
It's just that Youzhou Institute of Technology has a home advantage, and at the same time, its strength is one line higher than that of Hongshen, coupled with the team's high morale and has always been stable, so the balance of victory is still tilted in favor of Polytechnic.
In the end, after Wang Shuai and Wu Shi scored a goal each, Polytechnic won all three points at home and defeated the last strong opponent on their history-making road.
On May 6, in the 36th round of the Chinese Super League, Youzhou Institute of Technology challenged Tiangang Qinda away. In the face of such a midstream team in the Chinese Super League, Polytechnic won again without any suspense, winning the 2018-19 Chinese Super League championship two rounds ahead of schedule.
It's just that for this championship, the Polytechnic side didn't celebrate for too long. On the one hand, because the award ceremony was held in Tiangang, there was a lot less home atmosphere. On the other hand, it is because after this game, the finals of the AFC Champions League and FA Cup will also begin, and Polytechnic will play three games against Yangcheng Hengyuan in three cities.
……
May 10, Yangcheng Yintian Stadium, the first leg of the AFC Champions League final.
After Yangcheng Hengyuan had no hope of winning the league championship, they completely focused on the finals of the AFC Champions League and FA Cup, and this time they were finally no longer plagued by injuries and were able to face Youzhou Institute of Technology in peak condition.
The Polytechnic side was playing an away game, and the opponent was Yangcheng Hengyuan, which was in full swing, so Wang Shuai did not hesitate to choose defensive counterattack tactics, and the formation was changed to 4-2-3-1 again.
In the previous Youzhou derby, Polytechnic had already used defensive counterattack tactics, so the head coach of Yangcheng Hengyuan also made two preparations to deal with Polytechnic's ball control and anti-counter tactics respectively.
It's just one thing to prepare, it's another thing to make the preparation.
Throughout the first half, most of the time was spent in Hengyuan's pass-and-control cooperation. It's just that Yangcheng Hengyuan, like Youzhou Trust, did not press on all fronts in order to prevent the rapid counterattack of Polytechnic, which caused their offensive end to not penetrate Polytechnic's defense line at all, and the only few long-range shots also became anti-aircraft guns.
In the second half, when the initiative was transferred to the feet of Polytechnic, most of the physical strength of Hengyuan players had been consumed. In the face of Polytechnic's counter-attacking tactics with speed bonuses, Hengyuan's players couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all. After only ten minutes, Polytechnic formed a situation of more play and less and successfully converted the advantage into a goal.
1:0!
Falling behind at home, or in the AFC Champions League final, this is absolutely unacceptable to Yangcheng Hengyuan. So they launched a counterattack on the spot, but Polytechnic shrunk the formation after taking the lead, and the situation on the field was stalemate again.
When the game reached the 80th minute, the physical strength of the Hengyuan players had reached the limit, and their running speed and passing frequency had obviously decreased a lot. Coach Nalro looked at all this and sighed helplessly, it seems that he can only get one defeat today.
Standing on the sidelines, Nalro waved his hand at the back of the field, signaling his players to stop attacking and start retreating to avoid the score expanding again. In his opinion, if he only loses to the opponent by one goal, then Hengyuan still has a chance to get it back in the second leg.
And just when Hengyuan was switching tactics, Wang Shuai suddenly gave an offensive signal.
Wang Shuai has been observing the situation on the field, in Hengyuan's continuous attack, Wang Shuai believes that the opponent cannot hold on to the entire second half, and he has been waiting for the moment when Hengyuan's players run out of physical strength. There is one thing that Wang Shuai thinks the same as Nalro, that is, the advantage of one ball is not safe, and he has to seize the opportunity to pull the score away again.
And now, he's waiting.
The tactical switch is when a team's formation is at its most chaotic, and it is at this time that Polytechnic suddenly attacks.
After the four-foot pass, the football reached the top of the arc of the penalty area, and it was Wu Shi who received the ball. At the same time, Zou Ming and Zhan Liqun were inserted, and of course, Wang Shuai who rushed all the way from the back position.
It was Zou Ming who passed the ball to Wu Shi, although the management workers have been defending, their physical exertion is not small, this pass is not very ideal, and Wu Shi lost the opportunity to continue attacking after receiving the ball.
Fortunately, Wang Shuai also plugged in, and Wu Shi directly returned to Wang Shuai, and then turned around and cut into the forbidden area.
Wang Shuai didn't stop the ball, and made a forward pick-up move, so that the defender who was marking Wang Shuai immediately turned around to wrap Wu Shi. It was only when the defender turned around and waited for a second that he didn't notice the ball coming over, that he realized something was wrong.
Wang Shuai just made a fake pass, then flicked the ball to his right front and shot angrily.
Falling Ball Shot.
Brush!
2:0!
Youzhou Institute of Technology has a two-goal lead away.
This is the fifth time that Youzhou Institute of Technology has scored the goal of Yintian Stadium in a month, and this goal also completely lost the suspense of this game.
The next ten minutes were calm, and Hengyuan had no physical strength or the courage to fight back. The Polytechnic side also used up the last of its strength with the attack just now.
So in the "tacit" ball control game between the two sides, the score of 2:0 was maintained until the end of the game.
……
Three days later, the 37th round of the Chinese Super League was held as scheduled. Youzhou Institute of Technology, which took a two-goal lead away, climbed to the top of morale, and Wucheng Guoning, who was attacking at home, played a downstream.
5:0, Youzhou Institute of Technology is only one step away from being undefeated in the season.
It's just that they have more important things to do before they look forward to an undefeated record, which is to reach the top of the AFC Champions League.
May 17th.
Youzhou University of Technology Stadium.
The second leg of the AFC Champions League final.
If Hengyuan wants to recover the disadvantage, they need to score at least two goals, which is definitely not easy for them to play away from home. Wang Shuai also thought of this, so he changed the team's formation back to 4-4-2, as long as the team can score, the gap with Hengyuan can be opened up one step further, the so-called "offense is the best defense", this is the truth.
In fact, whether it is possession tactics or defensive counterattacks, whether it is 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1, Wang Shuai's tactical choice will not be a problem, because Polytechnic is now leading by two goals, and their advantage provides a fairly high margin for error in the team's tactics.
But Narro is different. The current Polytechnic is no longer at the level of the Chinese League team a year ago, they can already wrestle with Hengyuan, and even have the upper hand. In such a comparison of strength, even if Hengyuan can defeat Polytechnic, the score will not be too big, and a narrow victory by one goal is already a pretty good result. However, now Hengyuan needs at least two goals, which makes Nalro have to be cautious in his tactical choices.
Think before you think about it, think before you think about it. Nalro finally decided to let the team give it a go, after all, this season, Hengyuan's defensive end is still a shortcoming in terms of overall strength, so it is better to simply give up defense and play to his strengths.
So, with both teams opting for offensive tactics, Polytechnic fans enjoyed a feast of goals.
3:3, Hengyuan was stunned to draw the away game, but this was to no avail, the total score of 5:3, and the final laugh was Youzhou Institute of Technology.
