Choi Yong-so breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a dangerous goal, and as the head coach of Seoul FC, he understood that it was a mistake that he made by chance.

Fortunately, the goal was not scored, otherwise Seoul FC's tactics would have been a complete failure.

However, judging from the current situation, Seoul's opening tricks worked quite well, and Cui Yongzhu successfully used a seemingly risky tactic to catch Guangzhou Evergrande off guard, dragging over Guangzhou Evergrande's onslaught at the opening moment, and suppressing the momentum of their attack a lot.

By the time Guangzhou Evergrande reacted, Seoul FC also changed their tactics, and they reverted back to a typical Korean team - capable of fighting and grabbing.

In football, momentum is very important, if a team has a rainbow of momentum, then their attack is like a tiger descending a mountain, and they can press the opponent to breathe.

Guangzhou Evergrande's momentum was at its peak in the opening ten minutes, and due to the strength of the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Evergrande's players had a psychological advantage.

Therefore, as soon as the game began, Guangzhou Evergrande launched a fierce offensive. It's also very much to the players' appetite. From the player's own point of view, who wouldn't want to end the game 30 minutes before the start of the game and kill the suspense.

However, Choi Yong-so's arrangement succeeded in allowing Seoul FC to easily withstand the period when Guangzhou Evergrande was at its peak.

Guangzhou Evergrande, after nearly 10 minutes of onslaught, also need to slow down the pace of the attack - no team can continue to storm the whole game.

The two sides began to entangle in midfield.

However, due to the presence of Conca, Guangzhou Evergrande still dominated the midfield, and they mobilized the Seoul FC defense with non-stop passing. Although the pace of the game slowed down, the situation was still in the hands of Guangzhou Evergrande.

Although Choi Yong-so was very tough before the game, he was well aware of the difference in strength between Seoul FC and Guangzhou Evergrande. Even on their home turf, Seoul FC put on a defensive counter-attacking posture.

During this time, Seoul FC only saw defense, not counterattacks. So far, they haven't had a single shot on goal. However, their interception in the midfield still had a certain effect, at least Li Qingshan had not received a cross from his teammates in the penalty area for almost two minutes.

Conca stopped the ball after winning the ball in midfield, and Ha Dae-sung came up to defend him, and he was quite close to him, blocking the path of Conca's forward pass. He made a few feints on the spot, preparing to pass Ha Dacheng, who was defending him, but Ha Dacheng was unmoved.

Ha Dae-sung is a very powerful midfielder, although he is only a substitute player in the South Korean national team, because he is competing for the position of Swansea City's main defender Ji Seong-yong. It wasn't easy for Conca to get past Daesung in a state of stopping the ball.

After seeing that his feints didn't work, Conca didn't do it hard, but passed the ball back to Zheng Zhi and continued to run to the open space to catch the ball.

Conca is an experienced player who is not easily affected by his emotions on the football pitch and never gets hot-headed. For example, in this situation just now, he can't make a mistake to cross the river and become a success, even if he succeeds, what can he do? There is also Gao Mingzhen behind Ha Dacheng, and there is no room for passing, and if the pass fails, it will give the opponent a very threatening counterattack. As the heart of the team's midfield, Conca doesn't take risks easily.

Zheng Zhi had been observing the positions and movements of the players up front before Conca passed the ball to him. Seoul FC's defense was airtight, allowing him to find a way to pass forward. But after receiving the ball, Zheng Zhi did not continue to pass back, but made a long pass directly to the top of Li Qingshan's head.

In the absence of space on the ground, space in the air can also be utilized. What's more, Zheng Zhi fully trusted Li Qingshan's ability in the air. He even believes that even in the Premier League, in terms of aerial work ability alone, there are few players who can compare to Li Qingshan.

Maybe Everton's explosive head used to be okay, but now he has moved to Manchester United, which may increase the difficulty of Li Qingshan's return to Manchester United..........

Zheng Zhi was slightly distracted on the court, but he quickly threw out of his mind what had nothing to do with the game and refocused on the game.

His long pass accurately found the area where Li Qingshan was, but in the case of multiple people marking, Li Qingshan could not stop the ball, and it was even more impossible to attack the goal directly - now it is still far from the goal, and hitting the goal directly with a header means returning the ball to the opponent.

From the time Zheng Zhi swung his thighs, Li Qingshan knew that the ball was passed to him, he looked left and right at the positions of his teammates around him, kept their positions in mind, and then stared at the football flying in the air in his direction.

Lee Than-Yama's bounce height has always been unmatched, at least by the players of Seoul FC. Kim Joo-young's bounce is one of the best among South Korean players, but after he and Lee Than-Yama jumped at the same time, the height of his head was a head lower than Lee's-Young. He could only use his body to get as close to Li Qingshan as possible, trying to interfere with Li Qingshan's movements in the air.

Li Qingshan is now very accustomed to making movements in the air when he is disturbed, and while he spreads his hands to maintain his balance and minimize Jin Zhourong's interference with him, he tilts his head and throws the ball to the side in the air, giving the ball to Elkeson on the right.

After Elkeson received the ball, he made a gesture to cut inside, but Andilson, who stepped forward for his backhand, was not fooled, and still lowered his center of gravity to prevent Elkeson's breakthrough.

At this time, Zhang Linpeng rushed to the side of the road, and Elkeson saw that there was no space to break through by himself, so he pushed the ball to Zhang Linpeng. Zhang Linpeng did not slow down, and directly led the ball to the bottom line.

However, the opponent was very tight, and Zhang Linpeng still didn't find the space for the cross when he reached the bottom line, so he could only stop the ball. However, at this time, three players from the other side had already surrounded them, completely blocking the angle of Zhang Linpeng's pass.

In desperation, Zhang Linpeng adjusted slightly in the direction of the bottom line, intending to force a cross.

However, his cross was blocked by Kim Jin-gyu, who did not stop the ball and made a long pass directly to Molina in the midfield, who took the ball and turned around and faced the Guangzhou Evergrande defense directly.

Seoul FC's counterattack!!

Choi Yong-so leaned forward and looked at Molina, who was dribbling forward at high speed, and this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Molina dribbles the ball while observing his teammates' movements. Since Zhang Linpeng is in the front field and has not returned, there are only two central defenders and Sun Xiang left in Guangzhou Evergrande's defense.

Escudero and De Young ran a cross, and then messed up the defense of Guangzhou Evergrande, this time Molina has more options, he can choose to break through with the ball alone, because there is a defender left in front of him to mark him, he can also choose to pass straight to Escudero or De Young, if the timing of the pass is right, this is a single chance.

However, before he could think about it, Zheng Zhi, who was chasing back at high speed, had already rushed up and knocked him to the ground.

Tactical fouls!!

Zhang Linpeng, who was also chasing back at high speed, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Molina, who was dribbling the ball, knocked over by Zheng Zhi. The goal was actually his pot, and it was because he conceded the goal up front that the team had just been passive, and because he was so deep, it led to a huge hole in the defence - with only three men left, it was impossible to take care of the width of the pitch.

However, Zhang Linpeng, who was just about to slow down and go back to the defensive position, immediately had to desperately accelerate back again!

After Morina got up from the ground, he didn't intend to discuss the foul with Zheng Zhi just now, but directly pressed the ball to the ground, and then passed it to Gao Yaohan nearby!!

Free kick fast!! The referee raised his hands flat and signaled that the fast shot was effective!!

After Gao Yaohan got the ball, he went straight to Deyang, and Deyang swept the ball directly to the other side without stopping the ball in the penalty area.

Escudero fell to the ground and slammed the ball into the gate guarded by Zeng Cheng!!
