Youzhou Derby. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This city-to-city battle, which is a lot of attention from fans across the country, lasted for a whole month.

On March 10th, in the 28th round of the Chinese Super League, Youzhou Institute of Technology hosted Youzhou Trust.

In the absence of Wu Shi, the offensive power of Youzhou Institute of Technology was greatly damaged. In addition, Wang Shuai stayed more in the backcourt to deal with the attack, and Hong Guanyu's ability was not very sufficient, which made Polytechnic's attack unable to open the situation for a long time.

Equally lacking in attack are Youzhou Trust, whose midfield is simply unable to form an effective link with Wang Shuai involved in most defensive tasks, and their forwards are often faced with the dilemma of not having the ball to shoot.

In the end, there were only two set-pieces in the game. One is Youzhou Trust's foreign aid center Brooke, who scored a penalty. The other happened at the beginning of the second half, when Wang Shuai equalized with a free-kick from a wide angle.

1:1, the two teams finally shook hands.

At the same time that Polytechnic and Trust were tied, Hengyuan also double-killed its rival Guicai in the same city this season, which means that the gap between Hengyuan and Polytechnic has narrowed to 3 points, which is already a gap that can be caught up in one game.

……

Four days later, the second leg of the AFC Champions League quarterfinals came to an end, and the four teams in China still failed to complete the great feat of dominating the top four.

Polytechnic killed Gamba Osaka 11-0 in two rounds. The Trust drew 2-2 with Hanseong FC and finally advanced to the semi-finals by virtue of an away goal advantage. Yangcheng Hengyuan defeated Melbourne Athletic 4:0. Matsue Tianyun played 1:1 with Dubai Nationals from the United Arab Emirates, and finally lost to the opponent in the penalty shootout.

With the release of the semi-final list, this season's AFC Champions League has become very interesting.

First of all, the teams of Dongying and South Korea were all wiped out, and none of them made it to the top four, which is a phenomenon that has not happened since the AFC Champions League was held.

Secondly, the top four seats, the Chinese team accounted for three, which made fans in several other Asian countries chant: The dragon has taken off, and the sleeping lion has woken up.

However, these two points are not the object of attention of Chinese fans, and there is only one thing they see, that is, Youzhou Institute of Technology and Youzhou Trust have met again!

The reason why I want to add "again" is not because the two teams have just finished playing the league, but because before the two teams face off in the AFC Champions League semi-finals, there is a FA Cup semi-final.

……

On March 21st, Youzhou Walker Stadium, FA Cup semi-finals, Youzhou Institute of Technology challenged Youzhou Trust away, and the second Youzhou derby within a month kicked off.

In this game, Wang Shuai still allocated more time to defense, which led to the trust's offense still being weak. With Wu Shi's return from injury, the offensive end is not the same, in Wang Shuai's limited number of insertions, the midfielders of the Institute of Technology have played a very tacit cooperation, and the offensive efficiency is also extremely high. In the end, Polytechnic scored one goal in each half to win the local derby with a score of 2:0, and the defending champions advanced to the FA Cup final again.

Also advancing to the final was Yangcheng Hengyuan, who fought with Songjiang Tianyun for 120 minutes and won 2:1.

This means that the two teams in last season's FA Cup final have met again in this year's final, and they are worthy of "fateful opponents".

Before the FA Cup semi-finals, there was another Youzhou derby, but the attention of this city derby was much smaller.

In the 29th round of the Chinese Super League on March 17, Youzhou Trust defeated another city rival, Youzhou Lotte, 3:0.

People have paid little attention to this derby, on the one hand, because of the unequal strength of the two sides, and on the other hand, because there is another more exciting city derby waiting for them, that is, Songjiang Tianyun vs. Songjiang Hongshen.

The two teams in the first half of the competition is full of gunpowder, a total of six players because of cards or injuries and can not participate in the next game, and with the lessons of the last match, the two teams this time the game has converged a lot, but the two teams only converged their temper, but the offensive has not decreased at all.

3:3, and finally the two teams shook hands after a goal battle.

……

When the time came to the last week of March, the much-anticipated AFC Champions League semi-finals finally began.

In the first leg, Yangcheng Heng traveled to the United Arab Emirates to challenge Dubai Nationals away. It's just that whether it is historical record or book strength, Yangcheng Hengyuan is far ahead of its opponents, and the final results of the game also confirm this.

0:2, Dubai Nationals, who lost at home, can be said to have lost the qualification to enter the AFC Champions League finals, and their own strength is weaker than Yangcheng Hengyuan, and it is difficult to score three or more goals at Hengyuan's home stadium.

Compared with Yangcheng Hengyuan, which went to the Western Regions, the other two semi-final teams were much easier, Polytechnic and Trust, their opponents were their own teams in the same city, even if they were away from home, it was only half an hour's bus journey.

This is the fourth meeting between the two teams this season, and the two teams have met twice this month alone, so it can be said that they are quite familiar with each other's tactical play, which has led to the tactical impact of both sides has become minimal, and the game has become more of a contest of strength.

It's just that this is for Youzhou Trust. After all, the trust's tactical play has always been a side breakthrough tactic, even after integrating into the local tactical system, this tactic has not changed, but the tactical focus has moved a little closer to the middle.

But Polytechnic is different, although it is rarely used, but the team's tactical training has never fallen behind defensive counterattacks, a tactic that Polytechnic has not used this season, and the trust has little understanding of Polytechnic's defensive counter-attacking tactics. In the case that the confidant does not know the other, coupled with the fact that the strength of Polytechnic is already faintly higher than that of the trust, and Wang Shuai can adjust his tactics at any time on the field, it can be said that the trust has completely fallen into the disadvantage.

Sure enough, Polytechnic claimed another 2-0 victory at Walker Stadium. In the 26th minute, Wang Shuai took advantage of the opportunity of the trust's morale to fall, successfully seized the holes in the opponent's defensive line, played a beautiful counterattack, and scored first. In the second half, when Gao Haitao adjusted his tactics to restrain the defensive counterattack, the tactics of Polytechnic's side changed to ball-possession tactics, and scored again at the beginning of the second half, expanding the lead, and this advantage was maintained until the end.

is also a home loss, there is still a point of suspense in the semi-finals between the two teams in Youzhou, after all, it is a game in the same city, the home advantage is not too big, and Youzhou Trust still has a chance. It's just that this opportunity is really a little small, you must know that Polytechnic has maintained an undefeated record this season, and it is not easy for the Trust to win Polytechnic, let alone win by at least two goals.

But no matter how slim the chance, the trust has to fight for it. So a week later, at the Youzhou University of Technology Stadium, the Trust launched a fierce offensive as if it were on its own home turf. It's just that Polytechnic had long expected that the Trust would attack aggressively, so they put on a dense defensive posture from the beginning of the game, and the Trust also had to guard against Polytechnic's counterattack, and it didn't really press on all fronts, which made the Trust's offense thunderous and rainy, and it had no effect at all. On the contrary, in the second half, due to the rapid physical exertion, Polytechnic once again seized the opportunity to score a goal, completely killing the remaining suspense of the semifinals.

After two legs 3:0, Polytechnic advanced to the AFC Champions League final. And also advanced Yangcheng Hengyuan, after 2:0 away, they beat their opponents by three goals again at home, making the AFC Champions League final a Chinese derby.

The two Chinese teams faced off against each other on the top of Asia, which made domestic fans excited, but the two teams involved were not so happy. Because of the two legs of the AFC Champions League final, Polytechnic and Hengyuan will meet in the league and FA Cup finals one after another.

This means that after the four Youzhou derby, Polytechnic and Hengyuan are also facing four fierce battles.
