The time has come to April 30, and this day ushered in the 9th round of the Chinese Super League.
Tianjin Wei plays at home against Shandong Luneng. The two sides are old rivals.
Tianjin Wei played against Shandong Luneng when they were still in the Chinese League One, and Tianjin Wei won in the end.
When Tianjin Wei was not very strong, Shandong Luneng was one of the few players in the Chinese Super League that they had played against.
Later, after Tianjin Wei was promoted to the Chinese Super League, its strength had already taken shape.
And now Shandong Luneng is not weak, with Aloisio as a big killer on the front line.
Aloisio is the future Luo Guofu. Although he is a bit shorter, he has speed and body.
His collision style of play and life-threatening attitude can always tear apart the opponent's defense, which is also the origin of his nickname "Bison".
Another foreign forward, Levi, is also very good, but he is not tall either.
Levi is also very good. Fans who follow the Chinese Super League later may not know him.
But Xue Yang estimates that his ability can reach 76 or 77 points.
Xue Yang speculated that both of them might start, but one of them might play as a winger.
It is not impossible to start with two short forwards, but the tactics are too limited.
And it’s not Shandong Luneng’s style, which is why Xue Yang speculated like this.
So Xue Yang guessed that Shandong Luneng would have two forwards today, one of whom would be one of them and the other would definitely be Han Peng.
On the other hand, Tianjin Wei cannot face the battle with all their main forces today.
The first is midfielder Lou Shouyun, who has accumulated yellow cards and been suspended.
Then there is Hurtado, who was injured in the last game and will be out for half a month.
It is worth mentioning that the former Tianjin Wei main goalkeeper Zhuang Zhongtong currently plays for Shandong Luneng.
Since joining Shandong Luneng, he has become Shandong Luneng's main goalkeeper.
Xue Yang once regretted selling Zhuang Zhongtong because the current goalkeepers in Tianjin Wei are of average quality.
"Hello, viewers! Welcome to today's game. What we bring to you today is the 9th round of the Chinese Super League. Tianjin Wei faces Shandong Luneng at home." Duan Xuan said in the opening commentary.
"Today's game is definitely a dialogue between the top two teams, between the first and third place players in the standings."
"Currently Tianjin Wei has not yet lost, and Shandong Luneng is only three points less than Tianjin Wei in terms of points."
"So in other words, if Shandong Luneng wins, it will be tied. If it loses, it will be pulled away by Tianjin Wei."
"This game is indeed very important, and today's game is really hard to say." Xu Yang continued to explain.
"Needless to say, Tianjin Wei lost one AFC Champions League game in the new season, and the goal was only lost after all rotations."
"As for Shandong Luneng, it is actually very strong, and the foreign players introduced during the transfer window performed very well."
"Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides. First of all, Shandong Luneng officially gave the 4-4-2 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Zhuang Zhongtong;
Defenders: 16 Zheng Zheng, 3 Du Wei, 35 Dai Lin, 6 Zhao Mingjian;
Midfielder: 10 Levi, 8 Wang Yongpo, 15 Uso, 13 photos;
Forwards: 31 Aloisio, 9 Han Peng.”
"Then Tianjin Wei officially gave a 3-5-2 formation:
Goalkeeper: 13 Ge Deshan (63);
Defenders: 4 Han Gong (62), 3 Reifle (79), 2 Shen Yi (70);
Midfielder: 25 Yan Peng (67), 23 Gong Shaowei (65), 6 Aluka (77), 8 Shi Li (77), 21 Wu Qi (64);
Forwards: 7 Qin Zhen (69), 9 Zhou Zheng (79).”
Xue Yang seemed to be able to see what would happen in the next game. Tianjin Wei's midfield configuration was too strong.
However, Shandong Luneng still has a double midfielder combination today, how can it be the opponent of Tianjin Wei.
So today Tianjin Wei will occupy more ball rights, which is very beneficial to Tianjin Wei.
But this does not mean that Tianjin Wei won steadily, because Shandong Luneng's striker is very impactful.
Although Levi's position is shown as the left winger, Xue Yang estimates that he will definitely play in the front.
He and Aloisio will attack Tianjin's defense, and with Han Peng, an excellent local forward, they are quite dangerous.
As Xue Yang expected, goalkeeper Zhuang Zhongtong started the game.
Seeing the players trained by his team continue to shine in other teams, Xue Yang felt unexpectedly gratified.
Xue Yang seems to be able to see that in the future, other Chinese Super League teams will all have players from Tianjin Wei.
By that time, it is estimated that the level of the Chinese Super League will also rise.
For Zhuang Zhongtong, he is also looking forward to today's game.
This is the first time he has faced the Savior after leaving Tianjin Wei.
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
Although it is Tianjin Wei's home court, Shandong Luneng obviously does not want to give up the game.
Xue Yang guessed that Shandong Luneng would most likely play a defensive counterattack today, so he deliberately asked the defense to retreat.
At the beginning of the game, Shandong Luneng pressed into Tianjin Wei's half.
But Tianjin Wei is obviously better than Shandong Luneng in midfield today, even if they are the combination of Wang Yongpo and Uso.
Wang Yongpo is considered outstanding among local players, while Uso may not be top-notch among foreign players, but he still has strength.
However, it was still intercepted by Tianjin Wei. After Tianjin Wei successfully grabbed the ball, Football immediately found Shi Li.
Shi Li dribbled the ball forward, observing the position of his teammates.
Soon he noticed the position of Qin Zhen in front, who was running forward at this time.
Seeing this, Shi Li directly sent a through ball forward. His through ball was very powerful.
Therefore, the ball speed is also very fast. Qin Zhen saw Shi Li passing the ball even faster.
Center back Du Wei defended Qin Zhen head-on. When he saw the football coming, he realized that the direction was not right.
If he wants to intercept the football, he needs to move two or three steps laterally.
But he was rushing towards Qin Town at full speed, so he couldn't finish it at all.
The football just passed by him, but Qin Zhen ignored him and continued running at full speed.
I have to say that Shi Li's passing was indeed excellent. Qin Zhen quickly caught up with the football and continued to push forward.
Soon Qin Zhen brought the ball to the left side of the top arc of the penalty area. At this time, Dai Lin defended from the side.
Then Qin Zhen was very calm and moved his left foot towards the football to the right.
The football passed under Dai Lin's crotch, and at the same time, he stopped suddenly, moved sideways, and then took a long shot.
His long-range shot was very powerful and flew straight to the goal without any arc.
His long-range shot was of very high quality, and then Shandong Luneng goalkeeper Zhuang Zhongtong flew to save it and actually saved the football with one palm.
Successfully blocked Qin Zhen's long-range shot. If this goal had been scored, it would have been a huge blow to Shandong Luneng.
