During the midfield adjustment time, Xue Yang pointed out the current problems of the team.
Mainly on the defensive end, the first is right back Qin Dabao.
He faced off against Muric today, and overall his performance was average.
Of course, it is a foreign aid after all, so it is normal for Tan Dabao to be unable to guard against him.
So Xue Yang gave him an order to focus on defense.
Then the overall defense moved back a little, and they were a little aggressive in the first half.
This gave Guangzhou Evergrande several opportunities to counterattack. Fortunately, Tianjin Wei's defense was good, and they did not seize the opportunity.
As for the offensive end, Xue Yang is quite satisfied.
Tianjin Wei was really good on the offensive end today. The halftime break ended quickly and players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
The second half of the game finally started, and both sides were full of desire for victory.
Not long after the start, Lippi made a substitution.
Center defender Feng Xiaoting was replaced by Zhao Peng, who was named by General Fan.
It can be seen that Lippi is not satisfied with Feng Xiaoting's performance. He has made more than one clearance error today.
At this time, the football came to Gao Lin's feet on the right, but soon two defensive players came up.
Gao Lin's mind was still very clear, and he decisively passed the football.
The football barely reached Kongka's feet, and Yuan Han directly touched it.
Kongka quickly turned around so that his back was facing Yuan Han, causing the two of them to bump into each other.
Konka felt tremendous pressure. Although he had fought against Yuan Han in the first half, another physical confrontation still made it very difficult for him.
Because of Yuan Han's presence, Kongka's attention was not focused.
He didn't notice Lu Quan on his right, and Kongka wanted to pass back to his teammate.
Suddenly Lu Quan rushed over and knocked the football away from Conca's feet.
Kongka wanted to counterattack, but Lu Quan passed the football directly to Qu Xuan. After receiving the pass, Qu Xuan directly passed the ball forward without thinking.
The wingers on both sides of the Tianjin defense are very fast, but Qu Xuan looked for Hurtado with the ball.
Hurtado had already started running, and he increased his speed to the fastest.
Zhang Linpeng has been paying attention to Hurtado. When Qu Xuan passed the ball, he immediately ran back.
But his speed couldn't be compared with Hurtado's, and the distance between them was getting smaller and smaller.
Soon the two were side by side, and Hurtado eventually surpassed Zhang Linpeng.
Zhang Linpeng has tried very hard, but he can't outrun Hurtado at all.
He even wanted to foul to stop this counterattack, but he couldn't reach Hurtado at all.
At this time the football fell down and Hurtado slowed down and stopped the football.
Only then did Zhang Linpeng catch up with Hurtado, and Zhang Linpeng directly followed Hurtado without thinking.
Hurtado protected the ball firmly, preventing Zhang Linpeng from stealing it.
In fact, Hurtado should pass the ball at this time, but forward Zhou Zheng hasn't caught up yet.
After all, Hurtado was sprinting at full speed, and Zhou Zheng really couldn't catch up.
However, the winger Li Yan on the other side is not slower than Hurtado.
Hurtado passed the football to the right side of the arc outside the penalty area. Li Yan ran over and successfully received the pass.
Tianjin Wei counterattacked too quickly this time, and Guangzhou Evergrande’s defense had not yet returned to its position.
Li Yan's side was relatively empty. Li Yan took a step into the penalty area and then shot directly.
His position is slightly angled, but his hitting power is very strong and the ball speed is also very fast.
Guangzhou Evergrande goalkeeper Zeng Cheng was very focused. In fact, Li Yan had the power and angle to hit the goal, but Zeng Cheng still pounced on him.
"Wow! Zeng Cheng made a crucial save!" He Wei explained in amazement.
The fans at the scene also screamed, this ball looked very threatening.
However, Zeng Cheng failed to hold the football, and the football bounced near the penalty spot.
Zhao Peng wanted to clear the siege with his big kick, but the kick failed.
The football fell outside the penalty area. Qu Xuan faced the falling football and volleyed directly towards the goal.
But the ball was too difficult. Qu Xuan failed to hold down the ball, and the football flew directly out.
"What a pity! Qu Xuan hit the ball too high," He Wei explained regretfully.
"Although this attack was not successful, it is still very threatening."
"Tianjin Wei's counterattack was too sharp, and the wingers on both sides were too fast, catching Guangzhou Evergrande off guard."
Qu Xuan saw his own anti-aircraft gun fired, and closed his eyes in disappointment.
He was still a little impatient and failed to press the football.
Xue Yang also had some regrets, but he still applauded towards the field.
This attack was quite good. It can only be said that Zeng Cheng was in such good condition that he saved the ball.
Time passed very quickly, 60 minutes passed quickly.
Guangzhou Evergrande made their second substitution, replacing Huang Bowen and replacing him with Zhao Xuri.
I have to say that Guangzhou Evergrande’s bench depth is indeed good, and they are all national-level players.
During this period, Guangzhou Evergrande still attacked very fiercely. With a striker like Elkeson, it put a lot of pressure on the Tianjin Guard's defense.
But today Elkerson wanted to score so much that he directly hit the goal several times.
It is worth mentioning that today is not only a battle for the top spot, but also a battle for the golden boot.
Elkeson is currently the top scorer, while Zhou Zheng is temporarily ranked second.
There is now only a two-goal gap between the two, and Zhou Zheng might really be able to catch up.
Moreover, Zhou Zheng scored a goal today, but Elkeson has not scored a goal yet.
That's why his desire to score goals is so strong, he doesn't want Zhou Zheng to catch up.
This is his first season joining Guangzhou Evergrande and he hopes to leave his name.
Tianjin Wei's central defender Yan Sha made a header to clear the ball. Zheng Zhi jammed Qu Xuan with his back and headed the ball back to his teammate Kongka.
Conca faced the flying football and kicked it decisively.
The football fell directly to the top of the arc outside the penalty area, and Elkeson was nearby at this time.
He used his body to hold Revel, and then headed the ball to Zheng Zhi who was running over.
Zheng Zhi did not stop the ball, but kicked it towards the football.
He and Elkson made a two-on-one match, and the football was passed back to Elkson's feet.
Although cooperation was achieved, Tianjin Wei's defense did not break up.
Yansha is right in front of Elkeson, but now is actually not a good opportunity to hit the goal.
However, Elkerson didn't care so much, he kicked the ball directly and hit the goal.
Although Yan Sha did not touch football, it seriously affected Elkerson.
Not only was the ball not powerful, but the angle was also very positive.
Of course, this was not a problem for goalkeeper Zhuang Zhongtong, who held the football firmly in his arms.
Although the goal did not go in, the Tianjin defenders still breathed a sigh of relief.
This attack was quite dangerous, but fortunately there was no threat in the end.
