Chen Song's requirements for the first leg of the Quancheng team are not too high, he only hopes that his players can score a goal away from home, regardless of whether the final score is 1:1 or 2:1, Chen Song can accept it.

Even 3:1 is within Chen Song's tolerance!

In this game, the Quancheng team is fighting away after all, Chen Song has never wanted to win the opponent away, he just wants his team to have an away goal, so that even if he loses two goals, when he returns to the home field, Chen Song is also confident that the Quancheng team can come back.

Therefore, this game is not a game in which the Quancheng team really tries their best, and the second leg of the game back at home is the final battle between the Quancheng team and the Puhe Ruby team.

In this game, Chen Song still focused more on defense, they should concede as few goals as possible, and it is best to control the number of goals scored by the opponent within two.

As for scoring the only goal, leave it to Lin Qi to do, maybe Lin Qi can surprise Chen Song.

Thinking like this, Chen Song shifted his gaze to Lin Qi, looking at Lin Qi who was actively fighting, Chen Song felt like it from the bottom of his heart. To have such a player in the team, Chen Song, the head coach, is really too easy.

Lin Qi is the most active player in the Quancheng team, he tirelessly pressed the opposing players in the midfield, although Lin Qi has not been able to grab the ball, but he has brought a certain psychological pressure to the players of the Puhe Ruby team, at least not to make them fall so comfortably in the midfield.

Compared with the entire Quancheng team, Lin Qi's performance is an outlier. The rest of the Quancheng players are very conservative and would rather not fight than make any mistakes and not give their opponents any chances.

Fighting, in a certain aspect, there is also a certain risk, once the fight is not successful but is passed by the opponent, it is bound to leave a gap in their own backline.

And Lin Qi has no such concerns at all, he is the player at the forefront of the Quancheng team, even if he can't fight hard, he won't leave any space behind him.

Including the goalkeeper, there are ten Springs players behind him!

Lin Qi's active scrambling did make the players of the Puhe Ruby team not so comfortable. There's always a certain amount of psychological pressure when they're on the ball. This makes them too late to observe and think when they pass the ball.

Although the Rubies of Puhe had a good passing rate, they couldn't be too patient to find openings in the Springs backline.

The Quancheng team's defense also did not have any gaps to follow. The defenders of the Quancheng team are led by Chen Biao. Let their backline be watertight. Impregnable!

The back line of the Spring City team is relatively strong in the entire Chinese League, and they have conceded fewer goals than the Qilu team in the Chinese League this season.

Of course, a team like Qilu is not too good at defense. If you compare with them, it doesn't reflect anything. However, under the domination of the strong attack, the Qilu team is still the team that concedes the third fewest goals in the Chinese League this season, while the Quancheng team is the team that concedes the second fewest goals!

The Quancheng team is also very strong in attack, but not to the extent of the Qilu team, and it is difficult for them to form an absolute suppression of their opponents in all the Chinese leagues.

And the reason why the goals conceded less than the Qilu team is because of the strong defensive system of the Quancheng team!

After Chen Song took over as the head coach of the Quancheng team, he attached great importance to defensive training. It seemed that the offense of the Quancheng team was much stronger than their defense, but Chen Songhua spent far more time on defense than on offense.

The strength of the Quancheng team's offense is mainly due to Lin Qi, and the solid defense is the biggest credit since Chen Song took over!

He tried his best to keep the Quancheng team's defense up to the pace of their offense, and built the Quancheng team into a balanced team in attack and defense, which should be a big reason why the Quancheng team has been so good this season.

The Quancheng team does not have an offensive trident like the Qilu team, except for a Lin Qi, the other offensive players are not the kind of stars who are too good, but the results of the Quancheng team are not worse than the Qilu team, they are only one point behind the Qilu team in the Chinese League, and in the AFC Champions League, they broke into the top four of the AFC Champions League like the Qilu team!

The reason why there are such excellent results, in addition to Lin Qi's ability to break through the goal in a different way, another important reason is that they have a balance of offense and defense. In the matches of the Chinese League and the AFC Champions League, the Spring City team made fans remember not only for their strong attack, but also for their solid defense.

In this game, the defensive system of the Spring City team played a considerable role. Although Chen Song did not send a double midfield formation, the defense of the Quancheng team was very effective in preventing the attack of the Puhe Ruby team.

The offense of the Kamagawa Ruby team is still relatively inferior to Gamba Osaka. The Osaka Gamba team once made the Izumi City team helpless, their rhythm change was more flexible, and the cooperation in the front court was more exquisite, and the Izumi City team really couldn't stop the attack of the Osaka Gamba team without sending a double back formation.

You must know that the attack of the Osaka Gamba team is mainly initiated by two players, except for Keisuke Honda, their captain is the real core of the team, and Keisuke Honda is only a supporting core, that is, the role of the pseudo-core.

The powerful Keisuke Honda can only play a pseudo-core in the Gamba Osaka team, while Shinji Ono, who is not as good as Keisuke Honda in terms of overall strength, is the only offensive playmaker in the Kamagawa Ruby team.

It is clear which of the Puhe ruby and the Osaka Gamba team is stronger or weaker.

It can be said that if Gamba Osaka had not been unexpectedly eliminated in the group stage, they would have been serious contenders for the AFC Champions League title this season.

It's just a pity that they played too much in the group stage, so much so that they lost to Buriram United and Seoul FC in a row. By the time they really started to take the group stage seriously, it was too late, and they were eliminated by Lin Qi's magical performance in the final group game......

The Kamagawa Ruby team, who remained in the AFC Champions League, clearly did not have the unstoppable attacking ability of Gamba Osaka, and they were helpless to keep the Izumi City goal in the first half for 45 minutes.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was still 0:0, and the Puhe Ruby team had an absolute advantage in the game, but they did not convert this advantage into even a single goal.

Shinji Ono and Masahiro Fukuda, two of the best attacking players in the Kamaga Ruby team, failed to find a way to break down the Izumi Castle goal.

Shinji Ono can be said to have been completely restricted by Chen Biao, and Masahiro Fukuda, who was at the front, also played without performance in the absence of an effective attack in the team.

The Springs managed to hold on to the first half of the game! (To be continued......)
