18. Top scorers in the Europa League
Allan, the former top scorer in the European League, was injured in last year's AFC Champions League and only recovered not long ago. Martinez's performance was just too bad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For Alain's play, the Peninsula team did not make too many adjustments, after all, no one knows what his state is, and the Peninsula team's style of play on the field is relatively stable.
Allan's appearance did not cause much turmoil, on the contrary, the combination of Paulinho and Goulart was more mature and stable, and brought more defensive pressure to the Peninsula.
However, this also made the Peninsula team relax the defense of Alain, Goulart organized an attack in the midfield, passed the ball to Gao Lin in front of the arc of the penalty area, Gao Lin knocked his heel, the ball changed direction and passed to the penalty area, Alan grabbed the pass in front of the Peninsula defenders, and pulled the ball away from the defense laterally.
As it was in the box and full of people, the Peninsulars did not make dangerous moves to stop Alain's dribbling.
Alan ran sideways and flashed a shot from an angle, the ball passed through the gap in the penalty area, and Fonb did not react immediately because his view was blocked by the dense players in the box.
It wasn't until he saw the ball flying towards him that he made a save, but the ball grazed the inside of the post and into the back of the net, and by this time, most of the players from both sides were still standing stupidly in the box.
After the goal, Alan and Evergrande players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, while the players of the Peninsula team stood helplessly one by one.
At the moment they don't know what to do with the next game.
Sandwich will also be in a difficult position, as they will have to step up their attack if they want to equalise, but the more important task for the inferior Peninsula team is to strengthen their defense.
If there are too many personnel in the attack, it is easy to be counterattacked by the Evergrande team and expand the score, and if more personnel are not invested in the attack, it is very difficult to equalize the score.
The crowd was clearly unhappy with the score behind, shouting 2:2, hoping that the team could equalize, and the pressure was no one more than Jin Dapeng.
Whether he can equalise now with a limited number of attacking players will be crucial, but the peninsula's only striker has been firmly watched by South Korea international Kim Young-chuan and Chinese international Feng Xiaoting.
Despite falling behind, the Peninsula's attack was still difficult to really threaten the Peninsula's goal, and the fans in the stadium were clearly unwilling to accept the result of the home defeat, shouting slogans to cheer for the players.
Also unhappy with the status quo was Sandwicz, who had been struggling with what to do before he finally made the final decision, signaling the players on the bench to get ready.
Jin Dapeng looked at his teammates who were warming up on the sidelines, a forward player, although he didn't know whether to make alignment adjustments with himself, save his physical strength and prepare for the AFC Champions League match with Sanfrecce Hiroshima a few days later, or discharge the formation of two forwards and make a final fight with the Evergrande team.
But Kim Dapeng understands that no matter how he changes, the rest of the Peninsula team will be in crisis. If it is a counterpoint substitution, replacing himself as the main striker is equivalent to giving up the possibility of equalizing and directly preparing for the next round of the AFC Champions League; If it is a two-forward style of play, this will inevitably come at the expense of defense, which will give Evergrande more scoring opportunities.
But the head coach's arrangement, Jin Dapeng could not intervene, although he now wanted to communicate with Sandwich well, Jin Dapeng looked at Sandwich blankly.
But soon when Jin Dapeng saw the fans on the sidelines cheering tirelessly for the team, he also understood the manager's intentions.
After all, it is now at home, even if you lose, you can't give up resistance, and the nearly 50,000 fans at home want not only the result, but more importantly, the attitude of the players on the field. Even if the result is a loss, as long as the players dare to fight, no one will blame them.
The last thing fans want to see is a game without a trace of blood, where both offense and defense are cringe, and the outcome of the game is not yet decided.
However, the scheming Scolari saw that the Peninsula team was going to make personnel adjustments, and he quickly understood the next way of playing the Peninsula team, and in his opinion, the Peninsula team's personnel adjustment was his appetite.
"Evergrande in the second half can't be provoked" is not an empty word, most of the goals of the Evergrande team are concentrated in the second half, and the team's style of play has a lot to do with it.
In the first half, the Evergrande team will rely on the advantage of strength to besiege the opponent, consume the opponent's physical energy, and wait until the second half to crush the opponent in one go.
This game is also a similar situation, although 4 days ago, both sides played away from the AFC Champions League, but the depth of the bench of the Evergrande team is much thicker than that of the Peninsula team, even if the Evergrande team makes personnel adjustments, the strength on the field will not be weakened at all, and once the Peninsula team has the main players off the field, the strength of the team will be significantly affected.
At present, the substitution of the Peninsula team is bound to be a dangerous move, but the Peninsula team, which has not taken care of so much, still made the first substitution, replacing the physically exhausted Li Jie in the opposite position, and at the same time replacing a midfielder and replacing a striker, and the entire Peninsula team has also changed from a 451 formation to a balanced 442 attack and defense.
Soon after the Peninsula substitution, Evergrande also made personnel adjustments, replacing a midfielder and a defender, obviously Scolari is concerned about the stability of the team, and he hopes to maintain the intensity of attack and defense by replenishing fresh blood on the field, so as to fight against the Peninsula team that has strengthened the attack.
The adjustments and changes on the field of both sides, coupled with the passage of time in the game, all indicate that the final battle is coming, and the smell of tension and excitement fills the air.
Jin Dapeng, who has a partner on the front line, has more support and strategy, which also gives him more confidence in his heart.
Xi Wa took the ball in the middle of the field and took a few steps and drove directly to the penalty area, there were many players of the Peninsula team in the penalty area, Lei Jiasi jumped high to grab the first landing point, he shook his head and rubbed the ball to the feet of Jin Dapeng, Jin Dapeng received the ball and made a slight adjustment and volleyed vigorously.
Due to the close distance and the strength of the weight, Zeng Cheng did not react, and the ball bounced off the bottom line after hitting the crossbar hard.
Seeing such a scene, Jin Dapeng couldn't help but hold his head with regret, and Sandwich, who originally thought he could score, also jumped up from the bench, leaving only a disappointed expression after seeing the ball out of the bottom line.
Although there was no goal, the shot greatly boosted the morale of the team, the enthusiasm of the fans was also aroused, and the cheers of the scene came one after another, and the Peninsula team saw the possibility of equalising again.
