Chapter 1052: The Situation Is Stronger Than People

Standing on the sidelines, Scola sank like water inside, with a face? Staring at the pitch with a worried heart.

It's already the second half, and the score is still 1-0, and Jingjing Guoen, who is playing at home, temporarily takes the lead.

The two sides can be described as pinpoint-to-needle, and they are playing happily.

To put it bluntly, Scolari feels that this should be the most challenging game he has encountered in the Chinese Super League and even the AFC Champions League since he became the owner of Yangcheng Hengda.

The opponent is still a team from the Chinese Super League, which makes him really realize for the first time in his heart that Yangcheng Hengda may lose.

It's not just about losing a game, it's about losing the league title!

He wouldn't have believed it before last season, or even this game.

Even when Jingguo Eun won three in a row, he was full of confidence in his team.

But now, he's really a little shaken.

Kyung's tactics are really lively, especially in the midfield as a whole.

In this game, he won Park Cheng and got on Kaka.

Scolari is well aware of the level of his compatriot, and many people's impression of Kaka is still stuck in the invincible young man who chased the wind back then, but as everyone knows, Kaka has begun to gradually transform after being seriously injured.

Kaka now looks like a midfielder with a wide range of movement, great technique at his feet, the ability to push forward with the ball, and the ability to pass and shoot, and while his style of play is nowhere near as dazzling as it was at his peak, it's also quite good.

And judging from his performance in the major leagues and the Chinese Super League, his injuries have basically healed, and his condition has been maintained quite well.

Pochettino is smart, Ibrahimovic is the heart of the attack, and with the individual ability of the Swedish centre-forward, who can limit it?

As long as you can get the ball to Ibrahimovic, you can create a threat.

Scolari knows this, but he can't completely restrain Ibrahimovic.

Feng Xiaoting and Jin Yingquan, neither of them can withstand him, is it possible to have three to one?

So how is this game still played?

Ibrahimovic is the arrow, not only as the team's most important scorer up front, but also as a bridgehead for the team's attacking tactics, planning the team's attack in the frontcourt.

Having such a player with such excellent individual ability and such distinctive technical and tactical characteristics in the front field, even in the top European leagues, is quite a threat, let alone in the Chinese Super League.

It can be said that the introduction of Ibrahimovic by Jingcheng Guoen is definitely a super killer!

But Pochettino did more than that.

Around Ibrahimovic, Zhang Xizhe and Wu Lei, as well as Chen Zhizhao, who has been successfully activated this season, are all players with excellent personal ability, good foot skills, and certain organization and passing skills.

In this game, Jingcheng Guoen's midfield has one more Kaka.

Such an offensive lineup configuration is definitely a big test for Yangcheng Hengda.

Scolari wanted to limit the attack of the Kyung Kuneun team, but he didn't know where to start.

The opposition has a very clear attacking core, and that is Ibrahimovic, but the problem is that you can't contain him.

Well, if along this line of thought, the usual thing to do is to avoid Ibrahimovic.

Since I can't contain you, then I won't let you receive the ball easily, isolate you from your teammates, cut off the passing lanes that your teammates give you, and leave you alone in the front court.

But the problem is that whether it is Zhang Xizhe, Wu Lei, Chen Zhizhao, or Kaka, they all have enough individual ability and have the means to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic's feet.

Once the Swedish center gets the ball, the entire frontcourt attack of Kyung-kun is alive.

It can be said that the small range of Jingguo En's players in the front of the big penalty area is very exquisite, and the attacking routines of two or three people are very lively, coupled with Ibrahimovic's shock in the front court, it is really a headache.

After the first goal, Scolari had enough of it in this regard.

As a last resort, the situation is stronger than people, and he can only put down his body and is forced to call the players back and retreat!

I can't afford to mess with you, can't I still hide?

The big husband can bend and stretch, I will avoid you first, avoid its edge, and then slowly find a chance to play with you!

But Scolari has a lot of experience in coaching and knows very well that against a manager of Pochettino's style, if you back down too much, he will have to move forward.

So, when he was retreating, Scolari also planted a dark mine in the front.

That's when he asked Goulart and Jackson Martinez to choke Xavi Alonso.

Xavi Alonso's characteristics, Scolari is well aware that his passing and organisation are world-class, but his ability to get rid of them is lacking, and once targeted, his organisation and passing ability are greatly reduced.

Not only that, after the midfielders fully retreated, the focus was to pinch Jing Guoen's team at the front of the big penalty area to penetrate and advance, and captain Zheng Zhi and midfielder Paulinho were stuck in this area.

By retreating and sticking to the middle, Yangcheng Hengda forced Jingcheng Guoen's attack to only go to the side, and at the same time cut off the connection between the side and the middle, and imprisoned the play of players such as Ibrahimovic through the numerical advantage.

It should be said that Scolari's targeted defense in the first half, although it led to the field on the field, Yangcheng Hengda's scene was very passive, and it can even be said to be embarrassing, but it successfully worked, barely blocking the attack of Jingcheng Guoen.

Not only that, but through the restriction of Xavi Alonso, Yangcheng Hengda also got several good counterattack opportunities.

But how long such tactics can last is questionable.

And now that Jingcheng Guoen has a goal in hand, Yangcheng Hengda will definitely try to score goals.

What is surprising is that at the beginning of the second half, Yangcheng Hengda, who should have been more eager to score, has not yet moved, and Pochettino has already taken the initiative to respond.

The Argentine manager's response was also very simple, Xavi Alonso retreated to the backline, forming a three-centre-back with Xu Yunlong and Lei Tenglong, and two full-backs Zhang Chengdong and Jiang Zhipeng pressed up.

At the beginning of the second half, in the face of Southampton's sudden change of formation, Yangcheng Hengda's goal was once again in front of the wind.

Scolari looked at the stadium worriedly, and then glanced at the young Argentine coach in front of the home team's coach's box, and scolded in his heart, Nimei, it's really unforgiving, and Bielsa's bastard is a temper!

But want to break the door again?

Hmph, you're beautiful!

Just now, I was just careless, caught your way, was scored by Ibrahimovic and Kaka with individual ability, and now I want to score again?

You're bubbling!

"Go, tell our two full-backs, get back into the box and let the opponent roam on both wings!"

"Tell Zheng Zhi and Paulinho again, pay attention to the two ribs at the front of the big penalty area."

"Inform Goulart, let him retreat, and stand at the front of the big penalty area to protect."

"And Jackson Martinez, the counterattack is looking for him as a point, and he is used to fight back."

With this series of Scolari's set-ups, the assistant coach also quickly walked to the sidelines and immediately communicated to the players on the pitch.

As soon as the players on the pitch received the manager's adjustment instructions, they immediately made targeted responses.

Scolari stood on the sidelines and saw Chen Zhizhao on the right side of Jingcheng Guoen, who failed to get a chance in the front court, hurriedly crossed, and wanted to hoist the ball into the penalty area, but the ball was confiscated by Zeng Cheng, who attacked, and immediately laughed.

He looked at Pochettino again, his eyes full of pride, "Let your kid study hard!" ”

Not only that, after limiting the attack of the capital Guoen, Yangcheng Hengda quickly seized an opportunity.

Zheng Zhi made a long pass in the middle of the field, and Jackson Martinez quickly inserted a counterattack.

Although the two central defenders of Beijing Guoen, Xu Yunlong and Lei Tenglong, also quickly followed, striking left and right, but Jackson Martinez still got a chance to kick up on the periphery of the big penalty area, but he hurriedly got his feet, coupled with Lei Tenglong's harassment from the side, he failed to hit the right part, and the ball was crooked out of the bottom line.

Scolari shook his head from the sidelines.

This goal, if Jackson Martinez has a Hengda player next to him, then the Colombian center forward can avoid falling into a lonely situation, then this attack is likely to be there.

But just now he made the players in the front court retract, and when he counterattacked, they didn't press up so quickly.

Jing Guoen's two central defenders returned to defense very quickly, especially that Lei Tenglong, who was difficult to entangle.

Now for Yangcheng Hengda, it is a bit of a dilemma.

Scolari wanted to press out and play, but was worried about defending.

If you don't press it out, Jackson Martinez alone, I'm afraid it's hard to make a difference.

Just when Scolari was hesitating, the pitch changed again.

After Kaka and Zhang Xizhe collided with the wall once, they found Wu Lei at the front of the big penalty area, Wu Lei quickly knocked back, and Kaka got a chance at the front of the big penalty area and shot angrily directly.

The ball was so powerful that all the fans in the stadium were in an uproar.

But goalkeeper Zeng Cheng reacted quickly and quickly clenched his hands into fists to knock the ball out.

Chen Zhizhao quickly inserted from the right and hurriedly made a follow-up shot, but he hit it high and missed a chance to expand the score.

But it was Chen Zhizhao's shot that made Scolari, who originally wanted to press out to play, couldn't help but hold down the thought in his heart.

Today's capital Guoen is gaining momentum, and it is too dangerous to press it out at this time.

Wait!

But soon, it was Kaka who retreated again to answer Lei Tenglong's pass, and when he turned and dribbled forward, he directly kicked over the top to pick up the pass.

Ibrahimovic shook off the two central defenders of Hengda with understanding, quickly plugged in, and without waiting for the ball to land, picked up his right foot, and a very difficult kicking action happened to kick the ball on the falling line.

The ball was forced, turned in one direction and fell to the right.

Feng Xiaoting and Jin Ying were all taken aback, but when they reacted, they looked over, only to find that Wu Lei didn't know when to plug in from behind, face the falling ball, unload the ball directly in front of him, and then quickly catch up.

Zeng Cheng, the goalkeeper of Yangcheng Hengda, was suddenly taken aback, God knows how the Swedes made such a difficult move?

He had expected Ibrahimovic to hit the ball straight at goal, or stop the ball first.

Therefore, when Wu Lei quickly plugged in, he reacted immediately and abandoned the door.

But he is fast, Wu Lei is faster.

saw that after Wu Lei just caught up with the ball, his eyes were always staring at Zeng Cheng and he shot directly.

The ball swept past Zeng Cheng's side, stuck to the turf, grazed the right post, and crashed into Yangcheng Hengda's goal.

Two to zero!

"The ball is in!!!!!!!!!"

All the fans of the entire stadium cheered in an instant, and all the passion was ignited in an instant.

"Wu Lei! Wu Lei!! Wu Lei!! ”

The local goalscorer, who has just transferred to Beijing Guoen at a sky-high price this season, has performed quite eye-catching in the new season and conquered the fans of Gongti.

It was a brilliant goal!

Not only did Wu Lei calmly grasp the opportunity, but also because of Ibrahimovic's sudden and difficult kicking action before, who would have thought that the Swedish center forward could even form an assist with this kind of action?

Could it be that this move comes from taekwondo?

The whole building was boiling.

Everyone knows that with a two-goal lead, Yangcheng Hengda is basically finished!

Even Scolari, the head coach of Yangcheng Hengda, couldn't help but show a frustrated look.

He had already retreated, but he didn't expect that he still hadn't held it!
