Chapter 7 AFC Champions League is easy, Super Cup is difficult

However, in the first round of the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou Evergrande won very easily at home.

At the beginning of the game, both sides played very actively and played against each other.

Although Guangzhou Evergrande broke into the quarter-finals in the AFC Champions League last season, in the eyes of many Japanese and South Korean teams, they are very confident when playing against Chinese Super League teams.This confidence is accumulated in their past matches against Chinese Super League teams.

However, the Urawa Red Diamonds greatly underestimated the offensive strength of Guangzhou Evergrande.Under Lippi's training, Guangzhou Evergrande's strength is already one of the top teams in Asia.

In the No.15 minute of the game, Guangzhou Evergrande took the lead.Konka took the ball from the left to instigate the attack, and found Muriqi who was going forward through the gap. After getting the ball in the penalty area, Muriqi got rid of several defenders in a row and crossed the middle. Barrios followed up Push the empty goal.

Except that Qin Sheng was injured in an interception in the 28th minute and was replaced by Feng Xiaoting, which brought some opportunities for Urawa Red Diamonds to take advantage of the chaos, the subsequent game was completely under the control of Guangzhou Evergrande.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. In the 604th minute, Urawa Red Diamonds made a pass error and was intercepted by Rong Hao in the frontcourt. Duan and Muric played a two-for-one and knocked on the goal. Muric followed up A push shot broke the goal, and the score on the field was rewritten to 2-0.

No. In the 90th minute, Gao Lin, who came off the bench, got the ball in the penalty area and shot. After being saved by the goalkeeper, captain Zheng Zhi scored with a header. The score was rewritten to 3:0.
Guangzhou Evergrande won a complete victory at home and started the season off to a good start.

And Li Qingshan sat on the bench for 10 minutes, he was still waiting for his opportunity.

After finishing this game, Guangzhou Evergrande began to prepare for the Super Cup match on March 3.

The full name of the Super Cup is the Chinese Football Association Super Cup. It started in 1995 and was once called the Chinese Football Super Cup. In 2004, the event was held in the middle, until it was resumed in 2012 and changed to its current name.

The Super Cup can be seen as the real end of a season in the Chinese Super League and the beginning of a new season, just like the Community Shield of the Premier League or the Spanish Super Cup of La Liga.

In 1999, Shandong Luneng Taishan team won the double championship of the league and the cup for an unprecedented time. Therefore, in order to ensure that the Super Cup can be held in early 2000, the Liaoning team, the runner-up of the 1999 league, was specially invited to participate, and it has become a rule since then.That is to say, when a team wins both the FA Cup and the Chinese Super League, the other participating team in the Super Cup is the runner-up of the Chinese Super League.

Therefore, Guangzhou Evergrande, which won the FA Cup and the Chinese Super League last season, will face Jiangsu Sainty, the league runner-up last season, in the Super Cup.

Jiangsu Sainty played the role of a Guangzhou Evergrande chaser last season. They clung to Guangzhou Evergrande all the way, allowing Guangzhou Evergrande to determine the title of the Chinese Super League champion until the last round of the league.

The hero of all this is undoubtedly the hero of Jiangsu Sainty, the head coach Dragan.In 2011, Bosnia and Herzegovina coach Dragan took charge of Jiangsu. In the following two seasons, the former Yugoslav head coach pushed Jiangsu Sainty, a mid-lower team, to the second place in the Chinese Super League, and even once threatened Guangzhou Evergrande. Big championship throne.

Under the guidance of Dragan, Jiangsu Sainty became one of the most combative teams in the 2012 season. On the defensive end, the defense led by Deng Xiaofei and Erelson created a Chinese Super League record of 643 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal ; On the offensive end, Danalah broke the record of foreign aid in the league held by Guangzhou Evergrande player Muric with 23 goals in a single season. Jixiang scored a goal in the opening seven seconds against Guangzhou Evergrande. Breaking the record for the fastest goal in Super League history.The team's home results are astonishing. In the 2012 home games in the 9 season, they had 5 wins, 1 draws and [-] loss. Only Changchun Yatai won in Nanjing Olympic Sports Center.

The improvement in performance has also led to the fiery football market in Nanjing. The number of Jiangsu Sainty home games has increased from less than 2011 at the beginning of the 1 season to more than 2012 in the 2 season. On October 2012, 10, the home game In the 20-1 draw with Guangzhou Evergrande, 1 spectators rushed to the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center to watch the game, setting a record for the highest attendance in the Chinese Football League.

And all of this started when Dragan entered Jiangsu.

Dragan single-handedly created a team that has always been solid in defense, sharp in counterattack, and direct and fast in style of play.In the league championship last season, they narrowly lost to Guangzhou Evergrande.

In this Super Cup, the entire Jiangsu Sainty team came to Guangzhou with the momentum to win.

As for Guangzhou Evergrande, since this Super Cup match is held at Tianhe Sports Center, Guangzhou Evergrande's home stadium, for them, they also hope to win the first championship of the new season for their fans at their home stadium. Championship trophy.

Therefore, both sides are doing their best for this game, without reservation.

On the side of Jiangsu Sainty, Dragan sent out a slightly unfamiliar lineup. Guan Zhen replaced Deng Xiaofei as the goalkeeper. Zou Yun, Ai Zhibo, Ren Hang and Tajiyev formed the defense line. Liu Jianye and Foreign aid Krivitz partnered with double defensive midfielders, Wu Xi partnered with Jixiang and Baal in the forward line, and forward Saleh.

As for Guangzhou Evergrande, Zeng Cheng, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Jin Yingquan, Sun Xiang are on the defensive line; midfielders Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen, Kongka, new striker Elkeson made his debut this season, partnered with Muric and center Gao Lin.

Li Qingshan once again entered the big list of the competition. Being in the big list for two consecutive rounds did not attract much attention. Although Li Qingshan decided to return to China a month ago to make a big news, but now there are not many people paying attention to him Yes—the people's forgetfulness is always particularly great.

Li Qingshan was waiting for his chance. Last time Li Tie told him to prepare him to play anytime, he knew that he could get the chance to play.

Therefore, he trained even harder, and his progress during this period was also seen in Li Tie's eyes.

He doesn't know when his opportunity will come, but he knows that he needs to be ready at any time-as a high center forward, and he has not had any tactical training with the team this month, of course he knows that at this moment In this case, he will only have the opportunity to play when the team needs to attack.And his appearance means that the team's tactics are restricted, so it is necessary to send a high center forward to use the simplest high-altitude ball tactics to score goals for the team. .

This is really a contradiction. On the one hand, Li Qingshan certainly hopes that the team can go well, but on the other hand, he is also eager to be on the field.

The weather on this day was very cold, however, after 10 minutes of the game, the surrounding temperature felt several degrees lower.

Because Guangzhou Evergrande is behind, and it is behind by two goals.

No. In 20 minutes, Zhang Linpeng had an own goal, and Sainty took the lead. After 9 minutes, Krivitz took the ball from the penalty area line and shot with his left foot to the lower right corner. Sainty led Guangzhou Evergrande 2:0!

This is really unexpected in the first three and 10 minutes. Guangzhou Evergrande, which had won a big victory in the AFC Champions League, returned to its home court against Jiangsu Sainty, and fell behind by two goals in the first three and 10 minutes.

At this time, Li Qingshan's eyes were shining brightly, and he turned his head frequently to look at Lippi, the team's head coach not far away.

He had a hunch that in this case, he would get a chance to play.

Li Qingshan, who was sitting on the bench, was already gearing up to try!
