Gyeongnam FC is not a traditional powerhouse in the K-League, having just won the K2 League in 2017 and promoted to the K1 League. But last season they performed very well, almost creating the Korean version of the "Kaiserslautern Miracle", and finally won the K-League runners-up and qualified for the AFC Champions League.

Probably due to the reason for the style of play, the Chinese team has suffered from "Koreanophobia" for a long time, and the Taishan team is the most outstanding one. For a long time, against South Korean teams, more losses and fewer wins, the previous 16 times against South Korean teams have only won 2 games, and there have been repeated slaughters by large scores.

Therefore, this year is the first time Li Xiaopeng has led the team to play the AFC Champions League, and his goal is not only to qualify from the group, but also to make the team throw away the "Korean-phobic hat" that he has carried for many years.

Taishan Club attaches great importance to this game, and has made a lot of preparations before the game, and has already made plans for accommodation, food and schedule. In the last game, many main players were hidden, otherwise they would not have been unable to win Pengcheng Kaisa, and to a certain extent, it can be regarded as sacrificing league results for the AFC Champions League.

The team fights on multiple fronts, must have a trade-off, the dense schedule is easy to drag down the team's physical fitness and mentality, personnel must be rotated, this is also the Taishan team for many years to participate in the AFC Champions League summed up the lessons.

This year, the club is determined to "fight a good foreign war and win glory for the country", and the strategic goal set before the start of the season is "the AFC Champions League first, the league second, and the FA Cup".

This was also a big reason for the massive use of reserve players in the FA Cup against Springs on Saturday. Otherwise, the three major foreign aides came out together, and Quancheng would have been taken down on Saturday, so there would be no need for the last thrilling moment.

Regarding how to play this away game, the coaching staff has made a plan after full research and discussion before this "South and North War".

In terms of tactical play, he still plays to his strengths and avoids his weaknesses, gives full play to his high advantages, focuses on the upper three ways, and strives to kill the opponent with his header.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. The day before the race, there was an unexpected change.

Pelle, the attacking bridgehead of the Tarzan team, accidentally sprained his ankle during the pre-match training session and was certain to miss the next day's game.

After the on-the-field training, Li Xiaopeng convened an emergency meeting of the coaching team to discuss countermeasures.

Because the AFC Champions League registration adopts the "3+1" policy, Guedes, the fourth foreign aid of the Taishan team, did not sign up and could not replace the injured Pelle.

Since Han Peng's retirement, the Taishan team's forward line has always been dominated by foreign aid, and now the two foreign aid strikers are unable to play, and the team has an embarrassing situation where no one is available.

After some research and discussion, the coaching staff mainly proposed two solutions:

One is to put Fellaini up front. Fellaini's height, power, and heading skills are not inferior to Pelle's, and he is often pushed up the front line in the final moments of the game, and can be used as a central striker.

It's just that if he goes to the front line, the defensive strength of the back will inevitably be weakened, the South Korean team has a fierce style of play, the defense of the midfield is very crucial, and Fellaini is not in the position of a big hidden danger to the defense. In addition, although he has superb skills, he is not a striker after all, and many of the technical movements and first reactions of midfielders are not the same as those of strikers.

The second is to tap potential internally. There is no big general in Shu, Liao Hua, as a pioneer, and replaced Pelle with the domestic striker players in the current team, the advantage of this is that Fellaini is still in the same position, and the personnel structure is only moved to one front, and there is no need to make large-scale adjustments.

But the problem is that the ability of domestic players is too far from that of the Italian center, which is simply the gap between Hanyang-made and Italian artillery. Originally, the forward line was the strongest link of the Taishan team, but now it has become a disadvantage. Moreover, the current domestic players in the squad do not have a high-school striker type like Pelle, and changing people is equivalent to changing the style of play.

In view of these two plans, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, everyone's opinions are not unanimous, and each has its own opinions.

Li Xiaopeng was also a little hesitant, and after contemplating his eyebrows and thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked Gao Yuan, "Xiao Gao, what do you think?" ”

Gao Yuan is just a data analyst, and after he reports on the opponent's situation, he has nothing to do, and as a team member, he can't even be considered a core member of the coaching staff. At this moment, Li Xiaopeng suddenly asked for his opinion, which did not surprise Gao Yuan, but also made everyone else secretly speechless.

However, in response to this question, Gao Yuan had thought about it many times in his heart, but he did not rashly express his opinion. Now that Li Xiaopeng took the initiative to ask, he no longer hides his secrets, and reveals his thoughts and dishes.

"I think there are pros and cons to both options, although they are not perfect, but they both have merits, and I think they should be combined and the best of them should be taken together."

Li Xiaopeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say it?" ”

"Since Fellaini is not mobile enough to play as a striker, and our domestic players are not good at heading, why not combine them together? Changed the formation and changed to 4-4-2, with Fellaini partnering a domestic striker, so that there is both height and mobility, doesn't it make up for the loss of Pelle's absence? ”

Li Xiaopeng didn't say anything, but someone in the coaching staff laughed.

"Xiao Gao, you're still too young! Does the formation mean that it can be changed? Of course, according to what you said, our forward line has been strengthened, but what about the midfield? What about defense? You must know that our opponent is a South Korean team, or a South Korean team fighting at home, people will definitely fight in the midfield, play hard to attack, you now not only have to push the iron waist Fellaini to the striker, but also reduce a midfielder. Oh, boy, that's not how the ball is kicked! ”

Someone on the coaching staff raised the heights, and although they didn't say anything unpleasant, they didn't hide the ridicule and distrust between the lines.

Gao Yuan smiled faintly, neither humble nor arrogant: "This is exactly what I want to say next." Why is Chinese football Korean-phobic, I think it is more of a psychological problem. The overall strength of Korean football is much stronger than ours, but most of their good players are in Europe, in the Chinese Super League, in the leagues of various overseas countries, and how many elite players are there in the real K-League clubs? Take Gyeongnam FC as an example, as far as I can see, their strength is definitely below us. Local players are half a catty, and foreign aid is not a level at all! Moreover, they have changed blood significantly this year, introducing 22 players in one go, and the cooperation is far from being run in, and the skills and tactics are not formed at all! In terms of strength, we don't have to be afraid of them at all!

Another point, is the psychology of the players, I think the starting personnel should not play according to the strength of the step-by-step game, in the face of the AFC Champions League-level game, in the face of an opponent like Gyeongnam, we should do special things, if the strength is not much different, the same position should focus on the selection of players with strong psychological quality.

In the past, those Koreanophobic and black three minutes of Chinese football were not strong? In fact, the difference is one breath! The Koreans withstood the pressure, we just didn't. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and everyone was thinking about Gao Yuan's words, which seemed to be deviant, but there seemed to be some truth.

Chinese football is often not killed in battle, but scared to death, just like a mouse sees a cat, and when it hears that the opponent is the South Korean team, it is frightened, and it cannot play sixty percent of the ten successes.

However, in such an important game, how does it feel a little unreliable to temporarily change the formation, and not judge the hero by ability, but choose the one with strong ethereal psychological quality? How can the AFC Champions League be a testing ground for trial and error?

"There is no clear indicator of the strength of psychological quality, who can define it?" Someone else asked.

Gao Yuan really wants to tell everyone, I can define it! Lao Tzu has a system, opened his eyes, and it is clear who has strong psychological quality.

But he couldn't say this, so he could only say casually: "Everyone has been together for so long, and whoever has strong self-confidence and good psychological quality is obvious to all, and it is easy to be selected." ”

The coaching staff talked about it one after another, and Li Xiaopeng was also groaning, and even involuntarily paced back and forth in the conference room.

After thinking about it for a long time, he made a final decision. For the sake of stability, he did not fully adopt lofty suggestions, but he did adopt some parts of them.

The formation was not adjusted rashly, it was still 4-2-3-1, and the starting line was the best player in the reserve team and the domestic striker Cheng Yuan; Fellaini is still partnered with Hao Junmin in the back.

However, individual players have fine-tuned, and the left-back did not use the stronger veteran Zheng Zheng, but used the newborn calf Liu Yang, who is not afraid of tigers; The bench has changed a lot, and several veterans who originally planned to take turns resting such as Cui Peng, Zhou Haibin, and Zhang Chi have re-entered the bench list.

As for the effect, we can only see the game.

The match of Gyeongnam FCVS Taishan team in the AFC Champions League started on time at 19:00 local time.

An hour before the game, the list of 18 people was announced on the Internet, and there was another scolding.

"What's going on with the forward line? It's actually on the source! As soon as he kicked the reserve team, he couldn't even play in the Chinese Super League, and he actually went to play the AFC Champions League, I'm really hehe! ”

"Li Taishou is blindly arranging the troops again, if you lose this game, you will get out of class!"

"Haha, in the last league game, I made an excuse that it was to stay in the AFC Champions League, look at what excuses you make after losing this time!"

"The excuse has been made, it must be down to Pelle's injury"

"What is Li Xiaopeng's ability, it is nothing more than hugging the thigh of the foreign aid, if the foreign aid's father is injured, he will not be recruited"

"Do you see the list of substitutes? All old guys! It's all Li Xiaopeng's brothers, and Mrs. Li is crony! ”

"What about the young players? Li Taishou you suppress young people! ”

"Cui Peng is as fat as the ball, are you still going to let him play! Li Taishou has a kind of you just let him go, if you don't lose, I'll go to the Olympic Stadium! ”

"Li Taishou, I will definitely let these old guys get on it, but it must be the last 1~2 minutes of garbage time, because as long as you play, you can share the bonus!"

"Li Taishou is out of class"

······

Gao Yuan saw these comments on his mobile phone before the game, and his liver hurt. I really don't know if these people are deliberately hacked or really brainless, will there be any coach in the whole world who will cronyism at the cost of losing? The coach gets along with these players day and night every day, observing their competitive state, isn't it better for the keyboard warriors to understand the actual situation?

It is my own idea to reuse the veteran players with good psychological quality, why should I carry the pot to the guidance of Li!

After all, he was young and vigorous, so he couldn't help but register an account "JWWJ" casually, and posted a post in the post bar.

"With such an important game and so much pressure in the AFC Champions League, shouldn't the veteran players be allowed to fight? This kind of foreign war, which is related to the reputation of Chinese football, is it a field to train newcomers? I don't think there's a problem with the arrangement of troops under the guidance of Lee."

As a result, as soon as this post came out, it instantly attracted ridicule and abuse like a storm.

"Look, the club's five cents are here!"

"Floor Washing Dog!"

"This guy is demented! Hurry up and wake him up with urine, the yellow urine goes first, and the diabetic drain comes later, don't give him a taste of sweetness! ”

"How much benefit Li Xiaopeng has given you, you work so hard to give him a cheek!"

"Hurry up and get out of the Tarzan team with your master"

·······

Gao Yuan is about to explode, this group of people is not reasonable at all, are they talking about human words! You talk to them about tactics and tactics, and they scold you! You reason with them, and they scold you! You lay out the facts with them, and they scold you!

These keyboard warriors are not blind at all, but black-hearted!

Han Pengle put his arm on Gao Yuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are still young, and you don't understand the rules!" ”

"What rules?"

"Hehe, don't look at your phone from an hour before the start of the game to a day after the game!"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you're going to get sick!"

“······”

Gao Yuan was speechless.
