Chapter Twenty-Seven: Full Fire
"Muric !!!!"
The commentator's voice came from the TV, "The ball is in!!" 2-0!! Beijing Guoan is two goals behind at the Workers' Stadium!! ”
"In the 33rd minute of the game, Muric scored the third goal of the game for Guangzhou Evergrande!"
"It's Li Qingshan's header again, this time he sent the ball very comfortably to Muric's forward route, and then it's time for Muric to play his speed!!"
Stano frowned, looking anxiously at the situation on the field, he had already sensed the danger signal from the time the Beijing Guoan players began to press, but a few shots from Gelon left him with luck - maybe he was lucky enough to equalize before the danger arrived?
But today's luck is obviously not on his side, Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack is very simple and efficient, from Zeng Cheng's big foot to launch a counterattack, to Li Qingshan's header to the feet of Muric, and then to Muric's single goal, this wave of counterattack only passed through three people, the time did not exceed ten seconds, and even after Muric's goal, most of the Beijing Guoan players have not run back to their own half. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After this goal, Beijing Guoan was poured cold water on the head, and their offensive ambitions were extinguished a lot. In the final ten minutes of the first half, they began to give up possession and shrink their half-court defence.
If you are two goals behind by two goals, the second half may be able to turn around, and if you are three goals behind in the first half, then the game is equivalent to an early end - with Guangzhou Evergrande's control ability, if you want to score three goals in half time and not concede a goal, it is estimated that no team in the whole of Asia can do this.
And Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack ability also made them worried, last season they relied on the connection between Conca and Muric in the front, and scored a lot of goals with counterattacks, and now there is an Elkeson whose speed does not seem to be much inferior to Muric, and Li Qingshan, who can play a good role as a fulcrum, makes Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack faster.
Now the players of Beijing Guoan have been woken up a lot by this basin of cold water, and they have calmed down again. Although Guangzhou Evergrande's positional offensive threat is also great, it is the lesser of two evils compared to their lethal counterattack ability.
After Guangzhou Evergrande led by two goals, it was not in a hurry to continue to attack, since the opponent was behind and contracted the defense, then the side could slow down the pace of the game and slowly pass in the midfield. With the ball under their feet, the opponent naturally has no way to threaten his goal. The first half of the game passed in such a rhythm.
After the start of the second half, the situation of Beijing Guoan still did not improve much. Due to their backward scoreline, they had to attack, but they were very afraid of Guangzhou Evergrande's counterattack, so their two full-backs basically did not dare to press the attack. This has caused the embarrassment that Beijing's national security attack cannot be attacked, and the defense cannot be stable.
Finally, in the 60th minute of the game, Elkeson went to the meeting alone after receiving Conca's straight plug, and once again broke through the door of Yang Zhi's handle.
3-0!!
The score basically ended the hopes of Beijing Guoan's players to get back the score, and in this case, as the game time went by, their mentality began to become more and more anxious, and the defensive action began to grow bigger. And the referee's whistle began to sound frequently.
Stano's goal of trying to fragment the game was finally achieved at this point, but it was completely meaningless - the most needed time now was Beijing Guoan, and such an intermittent rhythm of the game made it impossible for both sides to organize an effective attack.
Guangzhou Evergrande is not in a hurry at all, they have a three-goal lead, in this case, they began to consciously reduce the physical contact with Beijing Guoan players, in the case of the overall situation of the game, another injury will outweigh the loss.
So they started to slowly fall in the backcourt.
Feng Xiaoting received the ball and passed it to Jin Yingquan, Jin Yingquan stopped the ball and watched it for a few seconds, and then passed the ball back to Feng Xiaoting. Look at this posture of theirs. If the players of Beijing Guoan don't come up and press, they can pass the ball to each other until the end of the game.
Finally, Beijing Guoan's striker Gelong couldn't stand this situation, and rushed to Jin Yingquan, who received Feng Xiaoting's pass again, Jin Yingquan looked at Gelong who pounced on him very calmly, and made a feint to wear the ball back to Feng Xiaoting, and deceived Gelong The moment the center of gravity shifted, he shook his ankle and passed the ball to Zheng Zhi, who came back to answer.
Seeing this, Gelong pounced on Zheng Zhi again, and after Zheng Zhi received the ball, he did not lead the ball forward, but passed it to Feng Xiaoting.
Feng Xiaoting, Jin Yingquan, and Zheng Zhi stood in a triangle, making Gelong, who was surrounded in the middle and trying to grab the ball, a headless fly.
But Gelong's efforts finally aroused the courage of the Beijing Guoan players, and Zhang Xizhe and Wang Xiaolong also participated in the rush. After seeing that the other party began to come up, Feng Xiaoting, who received the pass, did not continue to pass to Jin Yingquan or Zheng Zhi, but continued to pass the ball back to Zeng Cheng, Zeng Cheng did not stop the ball and kicked the ball back to the front court. Let the players of Beijing Guoan, who came up to force it, work in vain.
Since Beijing Guoan still had enough defenders at the back, Li Qingshan did not ferry the ball to an open position - because there was a certain risk of such a treatment, and it was possible to be counterattacked by the opponent's broken ball. So he stopped the ball and stopped it at his feet.
He then passed the ball with his foot to Conca in midfield, who is no longer the amateur player he used to be with a header. At least the basic techniques of stop-pass, like now, he can apply them on the field.
Beijing Guoan's last effort was extinguished by Guangzhou Evergrande, and finally Guangzhou Evergrande won a 3-0 victory at the Workers' Stadium!
It was their first win on this course!
And that's their sixth straight win this season. They have scored an insane 21 goals in those six games, averaging 3.5 goals per game with attacking firepower that even the Devils of Gongti cannot stop.
Guangzhou Evergrande's attacking combination of Li Qingshan, Conca, Muric and Elkeson made it difficult for all Chinese Super League teams to stop their defenses. This makes the position of Barrios, another big-name foreign aid of Guangzhou Evergrande, quite embarrassing.
Since Li Qingshan and Barrios can only play in the center forward position, it is basically unlikely that the two of them will appear on the field at the same time, unless Lippi changes to a two-center striker strategy. But obviously, with the team winning all the time, Lippi will not easily make too many adjustments to the team's tactical play.
The winning team doesn't change!
Therefore, if Li Qingshan's form is maintained like this, Barrios is unlikely to get the chance to start. Putting a foreign aid worth tens of millions on the bench makes other teams in the Chinese Super League envious, jealous and hateful.
Barrios firmly believed in his heart that Li Qingshan's condition would not be so good forever. After all, he has seen a lot, a young player like Li Qingshan, when he was born, he could indeed be in hot form in the first few games, but young players also have the shortcomings of young players, that is, the state is not stable enough. What Barrios is waiting for now is the opportunity when Li Qingshan's state comes down!
But Barrios was disappointed, and Li Qingshan's state didn't seem to show any signs of instability at all!
Since the away game against Beijing Guoan, Guangzhou Evergrande has been on fire throughout the April schedule, winning five games, and counting the start of the game, they have achieved a terrifying eleven consecutive victories.
