Chapter 211: A Victory Full of Regrets

The offensive of the Taishan team was like a tide, and the opening stage completely took the initiative.

In the 14th minute, Zheng Zheng's ultra-long-distance free kick was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper Li Shuai.

In the 18th minute, Duan Liuyu and his teammates played a delicate combination and shot wide of the far corner.

In the 22nd minute, central defender Zheng Zheng rose up, broke through with the ball all the way from the backfield to the front of the Shenhua penalty area, and shot long, which was saved by Li Shuai.

In the 24th minute, Shenhua team central defender Bi Jinhao was in a panic, slipped with the ball, and was grabbed by Jin Jingdao, who had a low chassis and fast speed, and distributed it to Wu Xinghan on the side, Wu Xinghan cut inside and the far corner was slightly off.

In the 28th minute, Zhang Chi broke through the cross from the left, Pelle pulled out the mountain in the penalty area, and a powerful header went over the crossbar again.

······

The Taishan team completely controlled the initiative and overwhelmed the Shenhua team with a stormy attack.

The home fans of the Olympic Sports Center were anxiously waiting, and the completely suppressed scene made everyone feel that the goal could be in the next moment, but the situation of the scoreless situation made everyone a little anxious.

Finally, the fierce attack of the Taishan team finally paid off in the 38th minute.

The Taishan team played a wonderful match in the front, forming a continuous pass, and Wu Xinghan burst into the penalty area. At this moment, the Shenhua team's defense line has been completely chaotic, and under the impetuousness, the young U23 player Jiang Shenglong failed to control his movements, and a standard American football collision action knocked Wu Xinghan to the ground and was awarded a penalty by the referee.

Italian Cannon Pelle took the penalty, deceived the goalkeeper, and steadily smashed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

At 1:0, the Tarzan team took the lead.

This goal also made Li Xiaopeng and the Taishan team breathe a sigh of relief, with a one-goal lead, they didn't panic, and they just needed to try their best to expand the score in the rest of the time.

After taking the lead, the Taishan team still maintained a vigorous offensive.

In the 43rd minute, Kim Kyung-do was pulled inside on the right side and won a free kick in an excellent position, but unfortunately Zheng Zheng's shot was too positive and was blocked by the defenders.

In the 46th minute, the extremely active Kim Kyung-do made a wonderful pass to Duan Yoo Yu, whose shot was slightly over the crossbar.

In the 49th minute, Pelle was on the rise, squeezing away a central defender in the confrontation, and then carrying another central defender to shoot with his feet, which was blocked by goalkeeper Li Shuai with all his might.

In the 51st minute, Hao Junmin crossed from the side, Pelle headed back, Zhang Chi shot angrily at the ball, and was once again incredibly saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Li Shuai, who showed great bravery.

One minute later, the Taishan team missed a good opportunity again, Kim Jingdao crossed from the right, and Pelle, who was competing for the top in front, shook a shot and took away the defender. There was no one around Hao Junmin, who was inserted in the back, and the "third brother" faced this pass that couldn't be simpler, he shot with his legs, but it turned out to be unbelievably empty!

The dignified "third brother" was able to make such a low-level mistake, which caused the fans in the stands to laugh. Everyone was in a relaxed mood, because in everyone's opinion, it was a matter of time before the door was broken again, and a good opportunity to be wasted should be a small tidbit, just laugh it off!

But the coaches on both sides in the dugout looked solemn.

The Shenhua team was kicked and had no power to fight back, and of course Cui Kangxi was gloomy. But he has been unscored, and too many good opportunities have been wasted, but it also makes Li Xiaopeng feel a little uneasy in his heart.

3 minutes later, Wu Xinghan cut inside on the side again and got rid of people in a row, but a shot that should be arcing, the banana ball turned into a straight cannon, making the head coaches of both sides jump on the sidelines and scold their mothers.

An attack can make the head coaches of both sides anxious, and Wu Xinghan can be regarded as the first person.

Cui Kangxi finally couldn't sit still and decided to change and adjust!

completely denied his pre-game strategic deployment, removed the inactive senior striker Kim Shin-wook, and replaced him with black and hard Ighalo. The whole tactical style of play has also changed.

On the football field, it is often a substitution like a knife change. Ighalo's appearance has brought positive changes to the Shenhua team, he and Kim Shinyu are completely different types, with speed, technique, and running, and can retreat deep to receive passes from teammates, or they can take the ball alone in the front court. The Taishan team was slightly uncomfortable with the sudden change of the other party.

In the 57th minute, Ighalo took the ball in front, a bicycle shook past Dai Lin, and then ran wildly with the ball, straight to the penalty area, and ran 30 meters.

Although there was no shot on goal, this wild run with the ball all the way also greatly boosted the morale of the Shenhua team, which was already extremely sluggish.

In the 61st minute, Ighalo retreated to respond, attracting the attention of the Taishan team's defense, and then he suddenly plugged straight to Cao Yunding, who was as famous as Wu Lei, the "Chongming Island Twin Stars", scored with a single knife, but the referee's whistle sounded in advance, and it turned out that he was slightly offside when he stepped forward.

Although it was a false alarm, it also sounded the alarm for the Taishan team.

The Shenhua team solved the problem through one move, and the whole game was alive.

Ighalo's appearance revitalized the entire offensive line of the Shenhua team, and the frontcourt players of the Shenhua team, who had been dormant for most of the half, ended sleepwalking and began to perform.

In the 66th minute, captain Moreno broke through continuously, this handsome foreign aid with a figure comparable to a top male model, although he is 1.92 meters tall, but his feet are not inferior.

A series of handsome breakthroughs, coupled with the clever distribution of the ball afterwards, made the home crowd can't help but applaud its wonderful performance.

In the 71st minute, El Shaarawy, who had been playing missing on the field, also showed the style of the European golden boy in the past, first wore the crotch and passed Jin Jingdao, and then played a wall-hitting two-on-one with Moreno, dribbling the ball along the side, until it was brought to the bottom line, and the bottom cross, Ighalo outflanked the middle and scored with a header. The ball flew straight to the corner of the goal, but fortunately, Wang Dalei was well prepared and slammed to save the ball from the bottom line.

It was also the most threatening shot from the opening game of the Shenhua team.

Li Xiaopeng roared angrily on the sidelines, fighting at home, not only did not continue to expand the score, but was almost moved back by others. In the two-legged final, what does an away goal mean, don't the players know?

I have to say that the on-the-spot adjustment ability and adaptability of domestic players are generally not good, in other words, the ball quotient is not high. Obviously how to deal with Ighalo, the deployment had been arranged before the game, but as a result, people suddenly changed their tactics, and they all panicked and couldn't adapt.

It's not that Odion is so difficult to prevent, if he really can't prevent it, Choi Kang-hee won't let him sit on the bench in the first place. In the final analysis, the ball quotient is still low, and you can only think in a linear way, and once you encounter a sudden change, you will not diverge your thinking.

There is no way, this is a common problem of domestic players, and they can't be in a hurry. Li Xiaopeng can only redeploy his tactics through substitution adjustments.

He successively replaced two veterans, Zhou Haibin and Song Long, and used their rich experience to stabilize the morale of the army. After that, he replaced Wu Xinghan with the fast horse Liu Binbin, and made an article on the offensive method.

These adjustments are very in place, and the new players are not only a new force, but also bring the latest instructions from the coach while increasing their fitness and experience. The team has finally stabilized and regained the feeling of the previous game.

But at this moment, the time has reached 75 minutes, and there is not much time left for the Tarzan team.

Now the Tarzan team urgently needs to continue to expand the score.

The Taishan team, which had stabilized its position, once again launched a fierce attack on the goal of the Shenhua team. And the Shenhua team saw that time was running out, so they also took it back and guarded it strictly.

For them, although it is a shame to lose away and not score, the 1-0 scoreline is not unacceptable, which means they still have a chance to return to home.

In the 81st minute, Liu Binbin made a quick breakthrough on the side, crossed from the bottom, and Pelle's header was confiscated by Li Shuai.

In the 85th minute, Liu Binbin was knocked down by Jiang Shenglong again in the penalty area, but the referee did not say anything.

Li Xiaopeng saw that time was running out, so he waved the flag and transferred Fellaini into the penalty area. The Tarzan forward line has become a twin tower. The offensive routine is completely simplified, and all kinds of high balls are smashed inside.

In the 88th minute, the Taishan team got a good opportunity again, Hao Junmin's free kick went directly into the penalty area, several big men of the Taishan team jumped high at the same time, Pelle took the lead in grabbing the point, and the ball was about to fly into the goal, but was pressed on the goal line by Li Shuai with his body.

Goalline unsolved!

The Taishan players surrounded the referee to signal that the ball had entered, and the Shenhua players naturally denied it. The two sides quarreled, and the scene was chaotic.

But the FA Cup does not have VAR technology, and it is all up to the referee to make his own decisions. The referee hesitated, but decided that the ball had not completely crossed the goal line and that the score had not been rewritten.

The morale of the Tarzan team took a hit, and they were unable to take advantage of their chances in the final minutes.

At the end of the game, the Taishan team won 1:0 at home.

Despite the win, regret and disappointment were written on the faces of everyone in the Tarzan team. The pre-match strategic goal of this game was to "concede fewer goals, score more goals", and now only half of the goal has been achieved. originally thought that he could settle the battle cleanly at home, but he was dragged to the home stadium of the Shenhua team.

The home court of the Shenhua team has always been a devil, and when the night comes, there will be many dreams, and I don't know what the result will be.
