I have to say that Jeonbuk Hyundai’s lineup is indeed quite good.
What Xue Yang didn't expect was that even though Tianjin Wei was already in the All-China class, Cui Kangxi would still be so cautious.
Three foreign players started today. It seems that Jeonbuk Hyundai did not underestimate Tianjin Wei.
This is also because Cui Kangxi has done his homework well. He knows that although Tianjin Wei's strength has declined, his results are still quite good.
It is still No. 1 in the Chinese Super League. You must know that one-third of the Chinese Super League has passed.
Compared with last season, Jeonbuk Hyundai's lineup is relatively familiar.
Veteran forward Li Tongguo, Li Zaicheng who will study abroad in the future, and of course Leonardo who will not be able to play in the Chinese Super League in the future.
Leonardo has the strength to come, but it is only limited to the K-League.
As for the midfielder Eninho, he has some strength but is a bit lacking.
He also played in the Chinese Super League before and played for Changchun Yatai.
Their starting lineup is indeed outstanding.
In fact, Tianjin Wei is not bad, especially the midfield configuration is extremely strong.
The midfielder is Tianjin Wei's biggest advantage this season. Tianjin Wei's three midfielders are all foreign aid level.
The biggest vulnerability of Tianjin Guard today may be the left back.
Peng Hongming only has 60 points of ability, so it is really a bit risky for him to play in Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Although the main player Lu Tingwen is capable, he suffered a strain before the game and could only miss this game.
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
As soon as the game started, Jeonbuk Hyundai launched an attack.
Foreign aid Leonardo came to take the ball from the left, and Jin Qiang, the opponent, directly defended him.
Hoping to knock the football out, Xue Yang specifically pointed out before the game that Leonardo must pay attention to defense.
Leonardo is still very important to Jeonbuk Hyundai, but this location is too far from the restricted area.
So Jin Qiang may not have pressed too hard, and while Leonardo was protecting the ball, he was also observing the positions of his teammates.
At this time, he noticed that forward Li Tongguo was running towards the penalty area.
So Leonardo decisively dropped the football into the penalty area. Upon seeing this, Li Tongguo began to accelerate.
Bai Liren, who was nearby, quickly posted up, hoping to stop Li Tongguo.
However, Li Tongguo still shook off his hand and actually threw Bai Liren away.
Bai Liren's confrontation ability is not bad, but he attacks from the side.
After Li Tongguo got rid of Bai Liren, he ran directly into the penalty area.
The football also dropped at this time, and Li Tongguo wanted to volley it directly.
Li Tongguo is still very famous for his volley ability, and it would be really hard for him to kick him.
Fortunately, goalkeeper Ge Deshan chose to attack after seeing Bai Liren being shaken off.
The two people were very close to the falling football, but one used his hands and the other used his feet. There is no doubt that the hand is faster.
Ge Deshan caught the football in advance and did not let Li Tongguo kick the football.
"It's almost! If Li Tongguo grabs it, it might be a goal." He Wei let out a long sigh of relief.
"This ball is indeed too dangerous. Fortunately, goalkeeper Ge Deshan is quite stable." Xu Yang explained in agreement.
The Tianjin Defenders fans watching the game all breathed a sigh of relief.
If the ball is lost so early, Tianjin Wei may be really in danger.
Li Tongren, who failed to score, smiled regretfully, as the goal was just a little bit short.
It was also a pity for Leonardo to send the pass, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it.
Because as long as Ge Deshan strikes out, there is a high probability that the ball will be gone.
Given Gedeshan's position at the time, even if the passing force was smaller, Gedeshan could still hold the football.
Tianjin Wei, who escaped the disaster, did not get better because of this.
Jeonbuk Hyundai wants revenge so much today. The scene of being bloodbathed by Tianjin Wei last year is still vivid in my mind.
With 14 minutes passed, Jeonbuk Hyundai got a chance to set the ball due to Cui Yidong's foul.
The position is around 45 degrees on the left side of the penalty area. It is basically impossible to hit the goal directly from this position.
It's too difficult to spin in. Leonardo, the kicker, doesn't have this kind of footwork.
Leonardo stood in front of the penalty spot and observed the position of his teammates in the penalty area.
He also knew that he was going to pass the ball at this time, and after running up, Leonardo kicked the football.
The football flew into the penalty area. Of course, what Tianjin Wei was most worried about was Li Tongguo.
Everyone knows that his high-altitude ball is probably the strongest in Jeonbuk in modern times.
However, what they didn't expect was that Leonardo didn't come looking for him.
Instead, the football was passed closer, where right back Kim Ki-hee was.
Tianjin Wei did underestimate Jin Jixi, and even Xue Yang never thought about it.
And now Kim Ki-hee almost had his back to the goal. He jumped up when he saw the football flying over.
In his current position, he can't match the strength at all.
He could only choose to rub his head and hit a parabolic header.
The football drew an arc and fell towards the upper right corner of the goal.
This was something no one expected, including goalkeeper Ge Deshan.
Ge Deshan quickly pushed back when he saw the ball. Previously, his attention was more on forward Li Tongguo.
So he stood a little forward, so he took a few steps back and then jumped up.
I hope I can save the football, but the quality of Kim Ki-hee's header was unexpectedly high.
I guess Kim Ki-hee didn't even think about it, because he almost had his back to the goal.
In his position at the time, it was difficult for him to receive a threatening header.
This time the header was more or less a matter of luck. It seemed that Ge Deshan was about to reach the football, but he missed it just a little bit.
The football flew past his fingertips into the goal and hit the net.
Jeonbuk Hyundai leads Tianjin Wei 1-0!
"The ball went in! Jeonbuk Hyundai scored the first goal of the game with a set-piece header," He Wei explained.
When they saw Jeonbuk Hyundai score a goal, everyone felt a little frustrated.
Tianjin Wei won a big away game last season, but now the two sides have really changed.
After all, it was Jeonbuk Hyundai who scored the first goal, which gave many fans an ominous premonition.
"Tianjin Wei has always done a good job in defending high-altitude balls, but this time they made a mistake after all."
"He actually ignored Kim Ki-hee, which led to this goal."
"Now the score is 0-1, Jeonbuk Hyundai is temporarily leading by one goal."
"Tianjin Wei needs to think about whether it needs to change its tactics."
Kim Ki-hee was very happy after scoring the goal. If the score continues like this, they will successfully take revenge on Tianjin Wei.
The Korean fans at the scene cheered excitedly, and there was a sense of satisfaction that a great revenge had been avenged.
On the other hand, Tianjin Wei fans are relatively quiet.
Xue Yang on the sidelines shouted towards the court, hoping to restore the team's morale.
This game is still very important. Xue Yang does not want to stop at the top 16 of the AFC Champions League.
