As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
After the game started, the two sides tested each other. Today, Tianjin Wei is a pair of midfielders.
In the midfield, the number of Tianjin defenders is less than that of Guangzhou Evergrande, so Tianjin defenders may suffer in terms of ball possession rate.
But it won't be too serious, because the quality of Tianjin Wei's midfielder is not bad.
One is Yin Fan with 76 points of ability and Gong Shaowei with 79 points of ability. Their strength is quite good.
After 10 minutes of the game, both sides attacked each other during this period.
Among them, Guangzhou Evergrande's two shots were long-range shots, and Tianjin Wei defended very well in the penalty area.
Elkerson is indeed much different from the previous two seasons, which also surprised Xue Yang.
Although he knew that Elkeson would decline quickly, he did not expect it to be so sudden.
He has almost no chance in the penalty area. As soon as he gets the ball, defenders follow him.
This made him very powerless, because he found that he could not get rid of the defense at all.
At this time, he thought of his teammate Yan Sha, and he knew that Yan Sha was from Tianjin Wei.
He must have recognized Yan Sha's personal ability. Sure enough, the players from Tianjin Wei are indeed good.
So under such circumstances, Elkeson chose to pass back more often.
On the other hand, Tianjin Wei's offense is even more difficult. One of the Guangzhou Evergrande penalty areas is the excellent local center back Yan Sha, and the other is the first-class Asian foreign aid Jin Yingquan.
It was also very difficult to break through. Tianjin Wei attacked the penalty area several times and was gone.
In fact, Xue Yang is still looking forward to Xu Qiang, because he can always play a key role.
As time passed, Guangzhou Evergrande's offense did not change, and they always hit the goal with long-range shots.
Of course, they are basically all airplanes, and those without airplanes are all too correct.
In fact, there was basically no threat. The last threat came in the 23rd minute, when Guangzhou Evergrande got a left corner kick.
After the corner kick, the football flew into the goal. In fact, Guangzhou Evergrande did not have a forward who was too strong in heading the ball.
It is worth mentioning that midfielder Yuan Han's header is pretty good.
However, this time it was Goulart who won the point. His header hit the ball and flew to the far corner of the goal.
Because it was too close to the goal, goalkeeper Ge Deshan couldn't even make a save.
I could only watch the football. Fortunately, the ball was crooked.
The football flew directly out of the baseline, and it was quite crooked.
After being beaten several times by Guangzhou Evergrande, it was finally Tianjin Wei's turn.
Through continuous passes, Tianjin Wei pressed outside the penalty area of Guangzhou Evergrande.
But it was soon intercepted by Guangzhou Evergrande, and Tianjin Wei did not give up because of this.
He quickly rushed towards the player and actually got it.
Yin Fan's ability is indeed good and he successfully grabbed the football.
But he failed to control the ball and the ball rolled towards the penalty area.
Xu Qiang happened to be nearby, and he quickly responded to the football rolling towards him.
The moment Xu Qiang stopped the ball, he stepped on the ball and pulled it back. At the same time, he turned around and prepared to run forward.
Overall, his movements are very smooth. If he really lets him pass, it may be a one-on-one opportunity.
Unfortunately, Yan Sha was nearby. When the football rolled towards Xu Qiang, Yan Sha had already noticed Xu Qiang.
He immediately followed Xu Qiang, and he kept preventing Xu Qiang from turning around.
As a former Tianjin Wei player, Yan Sha knows how powerful Tianjin Wei is.
He didn't dare to relax at all, fearing that Xu Qiang would pass by if he wasn't paying attention.
When Xu Qiang made a move, Yan Sha decisively stretched his legs towards the football.
Yan Sha's movements were very clean and he really successfully touched the football.
The football then rolled to the right side of the penalty area, and he did not touch Xu Qiang at all this time.
Logically speaking, his defense this time was quite successful, but unfortunately forward Qi Qi was on the right side of the penalty area.
So the football rolled towards Qi Qi, and at this time the defensive players around Qi Qi failed to keep up.
Qi Qi stopped the ball and hit the goal decisively. His explosive shot was very powerful and he suppressed it very well.
The football flew towards the upper left corner of the goal like a missile.
Guangzhou Evergrande goalkeeper Zeng Cheng quickly jumped in to save the ball, hoping to save the football.
At this time, all the spectators held their breath. This attack was definitely the most threatening one.
If the goal really goes in, then Tianjin Wei will take the lead.
It's a pity that Zeng Cheng is also from the country, and there is no doubt about his ability.
Zeng Cheng made a flying save and actually hit the football, saving it from the bottom line.
"Wow! This ball was just a little bit close!" He Wei explained regretfully.
At the same time, the Tianjin guards on the scene also let out a sigh of regret, and everyone was regretting this goal.
"This attack is definitely the most threatening shot today. Thanks to goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, otherwise the goal really went in."
"I have to say that Tianjin Wei played a good offense this time. They first forced the ball and grabbed it."
"Then the football came to Xu Qiang's feet, and then he turned around and looked to pass."
"In the end, he was blocked by Yan Sha, but by chance, he came to Qi Qi's feet. In the end, Qi Qi's explosive shot was unfortunately blocked."
"Although it seems that Guangzhou Evergrande has the advantage, in fact Tianjin Wei's offense is more threatening." Xu Yang continued to explain.
Qi Qi was very disappointed when he saw that the ball was saved.
He knew very well that if this goal was scored, he would be the hero of Tianjin Wei.
It's a pity that he failed to score and almost saved Tianjin Wei.
Qi Qi, who is the main forward of Tianjin Wei this season, has been under great psychological pressure since he realized that he was the main force of the team.
Because his seniors were so impressive, on the other hand, his season is almost over and he has only scored 15 goals.
This is so far behind Qin Zhen and Zhou Zheng, they didn't even reach 20 goals in the season.
Moreover, Xu Qiang, who is the main substitute, started 10 games this season and came on the bench for 10 games. As a result, he has already scored 10 goals.
On the contrary, his efficiency was higher than him, and he also sent out 11 assists.
Now there is even a voice outside that thinks Xue Yang is wrong this time.
Xu Qiang is more suitable for the main forward position than Qi Qi. If we focus on training Xu Qiang at the beginning of the season.
Tianjin Wei's results will definitely be more stable, so they think this is the first time that Xue Yang has misjudged someone.
This made Qi Qi feel even more disappointed, but it was a disappointment to himself.
Xue Yang has really given him a lot of opportunities, currently starting 23 games and coming on as a substitute in 2 games.
In fact, Xue Yang is quite satisfied with him. The lack of goals is mainly because his teammates are not as strong as last season.
The game continued, and there were no more threatening shots after that.
In this way, the first half of the game ended, and the players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another.
