Chapter 182: The Triple Crown Achieved!
After returning to China, the first is the Asian Club Cup East Asian semi-finals that started in Ningbo on February 11, and the four teams are Guangzhou Sun God Team, South Korea's Pohang Steelers, Japan's Kashima Antlers and Myanmar's Kim Choi team.
In the first game of the Suns against Myanmar Jincai, this game Lee Byrne was arranged by head coach Louis van Gaal to partner with Trezeguet, these two people in Asia are nuclear weapons-like existence, the two teamed up to contribute 7 goals, the French baguette completed the big four, Lee Byrne hat-taker, Wu Chengying and Ko Zhongxun each scored a goal.
On February 13th, the Suns welcomed a strong Pohang Steelers, and Van Gaal continued to use Lee Bern as the striker, and although the game was full of twists and turns, it was finally thrilling. The South Koreans opened the scoring in Group 23 of the first half, and then Lee Bern added two assists to help his team take the lead in the first half. In the first 17 minutes of the second half, it was Pohang Steelers Steel that scored the first goal to equalize. However, in the last 15 minutes of the game, Lee Bern assisted for a hat and scored a goal to seal the victory, and finally the Suns won 4-2.
The last opponent on the 15th is Japan's Kashima Antlers, a team with a number of Japanese internationals who are ready for Van Gaal's next season. Leeborn, Barak and Gattuso are all three generals in the same truce. At the end of the game, the two teams played 2:2, Zhang Xiaorui and French stick each scored a goal to ensure the team's unbeaten record, and joined hands with the second place Kashima Antlers to advance to the top 4 in Asia.
After a week's rest, the FA Cup Guangzhou Sun God team defeated city rivals Guangzhou Songri 1-0 and defeated Shenzhen FIYTA defending champion Beijing Guoan Division in the final.
The final on February 28 was arranged at Shanghai Hongkou Stadium, which is the biggest obstacle on the way to the 4 championships of the Guangzhou Sun God team, no joke to say that the top 4 teams in the current A A can play the Asian Club Cup to play the final steadily, from the perspective of the league, Chinese football is currently at the forefront of the whole Asia, of course, this is also thanks to the operation of Rice last season. And the new Chinese Super League in the 98 season, Rice Sports will also take out 480 million for three consecutive years to help 16 teams make a smooth transition, after all, the new recruitment system in order to help young domestic players grow as soon as possible, each team can play at the same time 3 foreign aid + 3 Asian foreign countries, want to buy the right foreign aid, naturally need money to open the way.3 years is nearly 1.5 billion investment, of course, this is really a drop in the bucket for the current teenagers, as long as Chinese football can make progress, the money is worth it. As for why it is 3 years, it is naturally because according to the plan of the teenager, after 3 years, his Guangzhou Evergrande will enter China's top league strongly, and at that time, it is not suitable for Rice to support other teams financially.
Guangzhou Sun God and Beijing Guoan have played each other three times since the start of the season, and the two teams know each other very well. Van Gaal still follows the lineup of the Asian Club Cup, and the original striker Trezeguet has a way to deal with it no matter which one of the partners with Erhu, and now Li Bourne has been pushed to the front, in fact, the overall impact on the midfield and backfield of Guangzhou Sun God is not so great. The strong attacking power has greatly relieved the pressure on the defense, not to mention that the defender-born Lee Berne's on-the-spot counter-attack in the front court has made Guoan's local defenders suffer.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, the fullback of the Guoan team cleared, Li Boen stretched out his long legs to block, and the ball immediately went out of the sideline after bouncing off the ground, and the teenager's super fast reaction made up the ball and kicked it to the leg of the Guoan defender, without waiting for the other party to react, Li Boen got up and picked up the ball and quickly threw it to Peng Er, who came up to respond.
Seeing that the opponent's defender was still four or five meters away from him, the young man boldly continued to cut inside, and when Xie Chaoyang came up to defend, Li Byrne passed the opponent with a small range of buttons and a trip under the bottom line. Looking up at the penalty area, there is really no good passing position, the teenager's bottom line hit the goal at a zero degree angle, Fu Bin didn't expect Li Bourne's ball to hit the goal directly, the ball was in front of him and it was an arc of internal rotation, the Guoan goalkeeper only had time to subconsciously wave his hand upward, and the ball hit his hand and bounced into the goal in disguise, and the Guangzhou Sun God team led 1:0.
After taking the lead, Guangzhou Sun God did not relax a little, but continued to put huge pressure on the Guoan team's defense with a solid defense. In the 34th minute of the first half, Gattuso steals in the backfield and quickly divides the ball to Wu Chengying on the side, who directly makes a long pass to find the front of Li Bourne, the teenager is attached to the central defender of the national security team and waits for the opportunity to move, after receiving the pass from San Lang, he stopped sideways and cut directly into the penalty area, the big man of 1.87 meters and the strong body stuck the opponent behind him, and then when the ball was about to land, the boy volleyed with his left foot vigorously, and the ball flew into the dead corner of the near point with a swish.
2:0, the Suns are one step away from the Triple Crown. The boy was happy in his heart at this moment, this was the master's master's master's defeat over Barty, and the timing of that guy's cut in the front court and the use of his body were really good! I'm two centimeters taller than Barty, and this move is really beautiful to use!
In addition to the forward line of the Suns team, which far exceeds the average level of the teams in the first A, it can be said that in addition to the perverted combination of the forward defender Stoichkov + Klinsmann, there is no team in the domestic league that can compare with the combination of French Baguette and Lee Byrne.
In addition to its own strength, bench depth is also a big reason. After Li Boen pushed to the front line, the central defender and the former international player Jin Guangzhu can come up, and the defense is at least no worse than Guoan, and the Guangzhou team is still a combination of three central defenders, double back Ballack and Gattuso, double forward is Peng Er and Gao Zhongxun, and there are Jianlibao on the bench The strength of the young players in the country is also superior, which is a place that no team in China can match. Strictly speaking, the Guangzhou team can even come up with two sets of 4-4-2 diamond-shaped standing lineups.
However, Guoan did have a little back in this game, in fact, before the Guangzhou team scored the second goal in the first half, Guoan had a chance to equalize. It's a pity that the header of the big center Thomas attracted the sandwich of two defenders, and Gao Hongbo's close shot was desperately shot by Li Wei of the Sun God team and rushed to the top from 2 meters in front of the goal. Joao also had a long-range shot that caused the goalkeeper to get out of his hands, but unfortunately Thomas was a little slower to start with the supplementary shot, and he didn't succeed under the joint sniping of Jin Guangzhu, Huang Qineng and goalkeeper Huang Hongtao. The four of them fell to the ground and were wrenched together, which is enough to see that the goal of the Guangzhou team for the quadruple championship shouted by the teenagers at the beginning of the season is to unite and work together. Seeing that they are getting closer and closer to the goal, everyone naturally does not want to fall short because of a little slackness on the field.
After blocking Guoan's fatal two blows, Guangzhou Suns took a three-goal lead four minutes before the end of the first half. Xie Feng, who inserted an assist on the right side, suddenly sent a kick straight to Li Boen in front of the penalty area at a forty-five degree angle, and the central defenders of the Guoan team did not dare to be careless, and quickly started to prepare for close defense, not giving the teenager space to turn around. Just before the opponent posted it, Lee Byrne had a leg and the ball leaked between his legs, which was fatal. The ball flew straight into the penalty area on the turf, and Trezeguet in the middle understood it, starting half a step ahead of the Guoan defenders, and scored the third goal of the Guangzhou team near the penalty spot.
After taking a three-goal lead, Van Gaal replaced Leeburn, Ballack and Gattuso. On the field were Li Tie, Sui Dongliang and Hu Zhijun, who continued to prepare in advance for next season. In the second half, Beijing Guoan scored a goal each by Futrey and Thomas, while Guangzhou scored a goal in the final stage by Yangcheng veteran Hu Zhijun.
The final match between the two sides was fixed at 4:2, and the Guangzhou Sun God stood on the top podium of the FA Cup wearing gold armor. Season Treble Goal Achieved!
