The halftime break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
Neither side scored a goal in the first half, which was actually bad news for Tianjin Wei.
Because they are still lagging behind in the total score, Tianjin Wei must strengthen their offense and strive to reach the AFC Champions League finals.
In the previous games against Guangzhou Evergrande, Tianjin Wei's results were not very good.
If we can defeat Guangzhou Evergrande today, it will be considered revenge for the past.
Tianjin Wei actually played well today. Although they did not have an advantage in ball possession, this was more due to Xue Yang's tactical formation.
Xu Qiang and Qi Qi's frontline partnership is actually okay, but it's still a bit uninteresting.
During the halftime break, Xue Yang specifically pointed out the two of them. Xue Yang hoped that after the second half of the game, the two of them could cooperate more.
Xu Qiang was lucky enough to say that Qi Qi didn't feel like cooperating today.
After the second half of the game started, Guangzhou Evergrande quickly launched an attack.
They pressed outside Tianjin Wei's penalty area and the football came to Paulinho's feet.
After Paulinho received the ball, he looked around and found the forward Elkeson in front of him.
So he sent a through ball forward, and Elkeson started to run forward at the same time.
I was a little impressed with Elkeson today. Under the defense of Tianjin Wei, Elkeson had almost no shots.
There have been a few times where it was always long shots. Today, I don’t know why, but Guangzhou Evergrande kept taking long shots in the first half.
After several long-range shots, the camera showed coach Scolari.
I saw him sitting on the coaching bench, holding his head helplessly with his hands.
It seems that he is troubled by the team's frequent long-range shots. Of course, he may not think so.
In fact, if Guangzhou Evergrande can maintain the current score today, Guangzhou Evergrande will have the last laugh.
But Scolari could not laugh because he always had a hunch that Tianjin Wei might score a goal today.
After Elkeson received Paulinho's through ball, he accelerated into the penalty area.
However, Tianjin Wei's defense was very good, and there were actually three defensive players near him at this time.
The three of them formed a corner-fighting situation, and Elkeson knew that he had to hit the goal directly after receiving the ball, otherwise he would be double-teamed by the three.
I saw him chasing the football and kicking it with the outside instep of his right foot.
His hitting posture was rather awkward, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The step point is on the right foot, otherwise if it is the left foot, it may be a little smoother.
The kick passed over Bai Liren in front and flew towards the goal.
I have to say that although Elkerson's condition has declined quite seriously, his ability is still quite good.
The quality of the kick was unexpectedly high, and goalkeeper Ge Deshan quickly fell to the ground to save it.
Although the quality of Elkson's shot was okay, it was relatively hasty after all, so the ball speed was not that fast.
This gave Gedeshan an opportunity. After falling to the ground, Gedeshan threw himself at the football, and he actually hit it.
The football flew out of the baseline after being tackled, and Gedeshan made a key save.
If this goal really goes in, then Tianjin Wei will be really in danger.
The total score was already one goal behind, and if we conceded another goal, we would be two goals behind.
"Elkerson missed the ball a little bit, and goalkeeper Ge Deshan made a great save." He Wei explained.
"It's really a pity for Guangzhou Evergrande. If this goal was scored, it would be hard for Tianjin Wei to say anything."
Elkerson is still very sorry for this goal.
He also knew that if the goal was scored, they would advance to the finals with a high probability.
Xue Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, he was really worried.
Today, Guangzhou Evergrande and Tianjin Wei are different. Guangzhou Evergrande places more emphasis on the players' personal abilities.
The offense relies heavily on foreign players. Although local players also have shots, it is mostly the performances of foreign players.
On the other hand, Tianjin Wei plays more cooperation, and the two teams are quite different.
The game continues, and now Tianjin Wei is lagging behind after all.
So Xue Yang was inevitably a little anxious. He kept shouting from the sidelines to the court.
Signaling the team to strengthen their attack, finally in the 74th minute, Tianjin Wei started to attack.
There are now only ten minutes left before the end of the game, which also makes Tianjin Wei fans anxious.
They are really worried that Tianjin Wei will be eliminated, and even many neutral fans are on Tianjin Wei's side.
The Chinese Super League team also advanced to the AFC Champions League finals. As a Chinese, I definitely hope that all Chinese teams will advance to the finals and even win the final AFC Champions League championship.
The football came to Gong Shaowei's feet. Gong Shaowei stopped the football and observed it.
When they saw Gong Shaowei taking the ball, Tianjin Wei's players quickly started running.
Although Gong Shaowei is far away from the penalty area now, they know Gong Shaowei's strength.
Gong Shaowei's passing ability is quite strong, Xu Qiang started to retreat from the offside position, and forward Qi Qi suddenly ran forward.
The movement of the two forwards made Guangzhou Evergrande very passive. First of all, Qi Qi definitely needs to be careful.
Central defender Yan Sha followed him intently. If the ball was really passed to Gong Shaowei, Yan Sha was confident that he could clear the ball.
And Xu Qiang cannot let down his guard either. Xu Qiang has dropped back to get the ball more than once this season and then sent a second pass.
Xu Qiang is also a point that cannot be ignored, but the Guangzhou Evergrande players did not expect that Gong Shaowei did not come to them.
I saw him sending the football to the left side of the penalty area with a long pass, and at the same time, the left winger Bu Qin was running diagonally into the penalty area.
It turns out that Gong Shaowei was looking for Bu Qin. Today, because of the two forwards, Guangzhou Evergrande’s attention is all on the forwards.
They forget that Tianjin Wei's wingers are equally powerful. Bu Qin's ability is 74 points, which can be regarded as the strength of a small foreign player.
Although Zhang Linpeng followed him, Zhang Linpeng's speed could not catch up with Bu Qin.
Bu Qin rushed into the penalty area. Facing the falling football, he turned sideways and stopped the ball with his chest.
The football then fell down. In fact, the position where he stopped the ball was not good.
The angle of the shot on the left side of the penalty area was not wide, but Bu Qin was very decisive.
I saw him lifting his foot towards the fallen football and swinging it directly.
The kick was powerful and heavy, and the kick was in the right position.
And because it is a volley, the ball speed is also quite fast.
The football was like a cannonball, flying towards the far corner of the goal.
Guangzhou Evergrande goalkeeper Zeng Cheng quickly jumped in to save the ball, hoping to save it.
Although Bu Qin hit the door at a small angle, Zeng Cheng did not dare to let down his guard at all.
But Bu Qin's ball hit the goal too fast. Although Zeng Cheng made a save, he still failed to save the ball.
The football still flew into the goal and hit the net hard.
