Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 320 The Glorious End

In the second half, the Al Ain team launched a frenzied counterattack, but they basically found no opportunities under Yunjia Tianyu's proper recovery. After more than 20 minutes in the second half, the Al Ain team's offense began to slow down. Benitez They also began to make appropriate substitutions, replacing Tony, Deco and Xie Feng to rest. The final score was fixed at [-]-[-], and Yunjiatianyu reached the final with a relatively labor-saving method.

"The next step is to see who our opponent is." Pei Wei said to Benitez after boarding the bus back to the hotel.

"No matter who it is, at least we have four more hours of rest than our opponents." Benitez said blankly.

In fact, both he and Pei Wei knew that it was okay to say that Dalian Dongfang entered the final. If the Iranian Estegra team entered the final, then Yunjiatianyu's extra rest time is not an advantage at all—the opponent He can comfortably rest without interruption for more than a day, but what about Yunjia Tianyu?Just look at the situation in the past two days.

"Then let's cheer for Dalian Dongfang." Pei Wei smiled, turned his head and shouted at the players in the car: "We will not disband for the time being when we go back, and we will all go to the head coach's room to watch the game. Cheer for Dalian Dongfang!"

"Okay!" The players answered in unison. No matter how deep the conflict with Dalian Dongfang is at home, but here, Yunjia Tianyu and Dalian Dongfang have the same hatred.

Xu Genbao had indeed started preparing for the Asian Club Cup after losing to Yunjia Tianyu. In the next two rounds of the league, those old main players didn't have much time to play, and they were all accumulating and recovering their strength. Players get more training opportunities, of course, this approach also pays a price-now Dalian Dongfang has only six points in the seven rounds of the league, tied with the other three teams in the bottom two, and has slipped into the relegation zone. Dalian The upper echelons of the East have run out of patience, and the Asian Club Cup is Xu Genbao's last chance.

Among Chinese coaches, Xu Genbao is definitely a very charismatic coach—although his simple and rude style has been criticized by many people, the management style of "two locks in front of the door and behind the door" has also made many people who used to feel like father and son with him Many players turned against him in the end, but he still has a charm that can make players work hard. At the same time, he has something that Chinese coaches rarely have-that is, dare to bet at critical moments and dare to place bets.Although "Put your heart together, you must qualify" has become the reason for many people to attack him, but compared with those head coaches who either dare not even shout slogans, or shout some slogans that they don't believe in, is he superior? 01:30 o'clock.

However, when he bet heavily, he often lost very badly.

In all fairness, the game against Estegua was the best game Dalian Dongfang has played since the beginning of this year.

Amidst the shouts of 206 crazy Iranian fans, the Estegra team launched a fierce attack from the very beginning, and took the lead in No. [-] minutes, opening the scoring first.

Dalian Dongfang was not anxious because of the backward situation. Their mature psychological factors played a role. At the Azadi Stadium at Hell's home court, they did not mess up. Before the end of the game, Li Min's beautiful volley from the front of the penalty area equalized the score.

"Dalian Dongfang really put all its treasures on the Asian Club Cup." Benitez said softly after watching the first half.

Pei Wei next to him nodded. In this game, all Dalian Dongfang's main players played. Except Zhang Yaokun replaced Zhang Enhua, Hu Zhaojun replaced Jins, and Brazilian foreign aid striker Orlando replaced Gao Feng. The other main players were He Yunjia Tianyu has been entangled with his opponent for three years.

Looking at their steady pace and quick movements on the court, you can know that after this period of rest, these exhausted veterans have recovered at least 80.00% of their state, although these veterans who are over [-] years old are not strong because of their physical strength. It may be possible to play all the games and maintain a good state, but as long as you prepare carefully, it is normal to perform at your peak in one or two games, and even exceed it.

"This is Xu Genbao's last gamble." Pei Wei said flatly: "If he can win the Asian Club Cup, then at least he can stay in Dalian for the rest of this year. Dalian Dongfang Club and its fans can still endure the team's downturn in the league...but if they fail to win this championship..."

He didn't say the latter, but everyone, including the players, knew that this game was Xu Genbao's last game in Dalian Dongfang—and at his age, after resigning from the position of head coach of Dalian Dongfang, it might not be It can also appear in the position of the head coach of the first-line professional team.

There was silence in the room. Although most of Yunjiatianyu's players were young, most of them also played against Dalian Dongfang led by Xu Genbao last year. To this legendary Chinese football coach All with a sense of respect.

"Okay, let's not talk about this... ready to watch the second half of the game."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Pei Wei broke the dullness with a speech: "Watching this game, we not only want to determine the opponent for the next game, but also carefully observe the characteristics and tactics of the final opponent in this game. You don’t need to look at Dalian’s. We know them well. There is nothing mysterious about it. Focus on observing the technical characteristics of the Estegua players, especially the main players. You must observe the players in the position you want to play against Be careful, this largely determines how much you can overwhelm your opponent in tomorrow's game, understand?"

"Understood!" The players replied in unison.

**************************************
After the start of the second half, Dalian Dongfang still focused on stability, defending the middle layer of defense, starting to fight from the midfield, not rushing in the offense, and rarely using long passes to initiate fast breaks, but Nemeche in the midfield Ke and Li Min came to organize, right back Madavikia had more assists, and left back Wu Jun focused on defense and advanced gradually, using more high-ball tactics from both wings, using the strong Hans, Orlando and Wang Tao in the penalty area Fighting for the top, the tactics are very simple, but very practical.

"If Gao Feng was here, Dalian Dongfang could have played more easily." Pei Wei sighed. Since Dalian Dongfang didn't have fast players on the offensive line, there was no way to counterattack, and they could only attack through layers. Push forward, which is tantamount to crippling a leg in the offense. Also, because there are no players who can counterattack quickly, the Estegua team's offense is even more unscrupulous.

"The Brazilian striker they introduced this year has pretty good personal ability, a typical center forward, but his coordination ability is not strong, and he prefers to fight alone. A player like this may be very useful against weak teams. His feet are fine, but if he plays against a strong team... a defender with strong marking ability can mark him to death. If there is another player who is helping to defend, then he will not even have a chance to get the ball Too many." Benitez criticized mercilessly, Pei Wei smiled in his heart, it seems that after staying in Yunjia Tianyu for a long time, Benitez's vision has become much higher, after all, he can come to Yunjia Tianyu Jia Tianyu's foreign players are all future world superstars.

Xu Genbao was wearing a pair of sunglasses that he never took off all the year round, and stood in front of the visiting team's coach with his hands folded expressionlessly. The Estegua team's offense was very fierce, and his disciples were struggling on the field. They have already accumulated enough physical energy, otherwise physical energy alone can drag down the current Dalian Dongfang.

Xu Genbao admitted that he had no luck. If their opponent in the semi-finals was the Ain team, Xu Genbao believed that Dalian Dongfang would definitely win.

It's a pity that luck is the most unpredictable thing on the football field. Now that you have met such a powerful opponent, regretting or calling out injustice is definitely a coward's behavior.

In the 609th minute of the game, an exciting moment for the Dalian people came. Xu Hong was the first to clear the attack of Estegua's team out of the penalty area. Nemechek took the ball near the arc of the middle circle, saw the opponent's goalkeeper standing a little forward, suddenly raised his foot and kicked the ball far away!
The ball flew high into the sky and headed towards Estegua's goal!
The goalkeeper of the Estegua team was taken aback. When he saw the ball flying far away, he turned around and ran back. Only then did he realize that he was too far away from the goal.

But it was too late, when he just ran into the small penalty area, the ball had already flown over his head, scraped the lower edge of the crossbar and flew into the goal!
A super lob shot of about 60 meters, a super world wave that is definitely eligible to be selected as the top ten goals in the history of the Asian Club Cup!
Xu Genbao yelled and laughed like crazy and jumped beside the coach's bench, then hugged Nemechek who rushed off the court tightly, and kept saying words of gratitude in this veteran's ear...

It's not easy, it's not easy. It's really not easy for Dalian Dongfang to be able to lead in such a passive situation.

**************************************************
After the frantic celebration, the game restarted, and amidst the cheers of the fans, the Iranians launched an even crazier counterattack!

The Estegra team can't afford to lose. They represent Iran and West Asia. If the final teams of this year's Asian Club Cup are two clubs from East Asia again, then it will not only be a matter of losing face, but also in next year's Asian Club Cup. In the general election of the AFC, maybe the East Asian countries will take advantage of the victory on the court to reverse the passive trend in the AFC.

Originally, the two football leaders from East Asia, China's Xu Bing and South Korea's Chung Mong-joon, have had a profound influence on the AFC. Xu Bing has a very high prestige, and even Verapan, who is in power, admires him very much. Zheng Menggui, who is the vice president of FIFA, has a deep network in FIFA, and he had already formed a deep influence on West Asia last year. If it weren't for the overall victory of the West Asian team in the 96 Asian Cup, maybe that would have been the case. At that time, the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, but in 97, the East Asian team that entered the World Cup accounted for three seats. Only Iran was the only seedling in West Asia. In 98, China from East Asia stood out in the World Cup. If you gain the upper hand again...

"Go back! Go back! Defend! Strengthen your defense!" Xu Genbao kept shouting from the sidelines. There were only 10 minutes left before the end of the game. After this time, Dalian will enter the Asian Club Cup for two consecutive years. finals!
The Persian's scimitar was shining coldly, the Iranian's attack was like a raging fire, and the roar of the [-] Iranian fans in the stands was earth-shattering. Xu Genbao couldn't keep calm anymore. He had replaced two guards in a row, but he still couldn't control it. Stop the opponent's attack.

"This referee... started blowing the whistle." Pei Wei said affirmatively, and Benitez nodded imperceptibly. Fair referees have begun to appear obviously biased, often calling Dalian Dongfang players for fouls in physical confrontations, and giving Dalian players two consecutive yellow cards in a short period of time.

No.803 minutes, Dalian Dongfang's left back Wu Jun accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off, which made Dalian Dongfang more passive on the scene.

Finally, in the No.807 minute, a striker of the Estegua team broke into the penalty area with the ball and was forced to the ground by Xu Hong. The referee hesitated and awarded a penalty kick!
The people of Dalian were angry, and the players asked the referee to ask for an explanation, but they received two yellow cards in a row. The excited Xu Genbao was also sent off the stands by a red card while arguing with the referee.

"Dalian Dongfang...it's over!" Pei Wei said dejectedly.

Sure enough, the theory cannot change the result. The striker of the Estegua team easily sent the penalty kick into the gate of Dalian Dongfang, bringing the game into overtime.

Although both sides have chances in overtime, Pei Wei does not believe that Dalian Dongfang can really survive overtime. Even if they survive, they can't even find five players with better penalty kicks. ?
One less person, no head coach, and few offensive players on the court... Under such circumstances, Dalian Dongfang struggled through the first half of overtime, but still in the second half of overtime Eliminated by the opponent's golden goal.

"Dalian's glory... is over!" Pei Wei sighed, he knew in his heart that after losing the Asian Club Cup, Dalian Dongfang will definitely be cleaned up from the coach to the players, and it is inevitable to replenish young blood. Okay, if you want to restore the strength of the peak period, it will be a few years later.
