"Hello, viewers! Welcome to today's live broadcast. What we bring to you today is the third round of the Football Association Cup. Shandong Luneng faces Tianjin Wei at home. I am today's commentator Shen Fangjian." Shen Fangjian said in the opening commentary.
Today's sports commentator is none other than the controversial Shen Fangjian in the future.
Some people say he is poisonous, others say he is too biased, and many people even begin to doubt his professionalism.
"I have to say that today's game is very special. Tianjin Wei, who is a Chinese League One team, did not bring any foreign aid, which means they are playing as an all-China team today."
"This is really rare in Chinese football. Some people say that Tianjin Wei is giving up the FA Cup, but that may not be the case."
In fact, Shen Fangjian also believes that Tianjin Wei gave up the FA Cup.
What Shen Fangjian said was just for the occasion, he didn't think so.
"On the other hand, Shandong Luneng has been a lot more cautious. There are three foreign players on the roster."
"It's getting closer and closer to the start of the game. Let me first introduce the starting lineups of both sides."
"The first is Tianjin Wei, who is playing away from home. The official formation is 4-3-3:
Goalkeeper: 40 Zhuang Zhongtong (55).
Defenders: 27 Zhang Cheng (52), 37 Yan Sha (63), 24 Wang Pan (68), 2 Zhou Song (72).
Midfielder: 39 Yuan Han (63), 16 Wu Bo (58), 23 Dong Yourong (69).
Forwards: 19 Jiang Bin (74), 38 Zheng Jinshan (64), 18 Wu Lei (51)."
"Then there is Shandong Luneng, who officially gave a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Yang Cheng;
Defenders: 16 Zheng Zheng, 3 Du Wei, 5 Wang Qiang, 26 Xia Ningning;
At this time, players from both sides were already standing on the court, and Xue Yang, as the head coach, also knew Shandong Luneng's starting lineup.
Shandong Luneng's starting lineup is quite strong, and the only good news may be the double foreign aid.
Xue Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at Shandong Luneng's starting lineup. It was really not necessary.
The starting lineup is full of outstanding players, namely Xia Ningning and Wang Qiang.
Moreover, the current Wu Xinghan and Maiti Jiang are not strong enough and are not future national players.
Of course, Tianjin Wei does not have no chance, because Shandong Luneng's starting forward Ortigosa is average.
Ortigosa has played in both China and South Korea, and also played in the J-League in Xue Yang's previous life.
He is a rare foreign player who has played in all three leagues, and the season he played in the K-League was undoubtedly his most glorious season.
Shandong Luneng introduced Ortigosa for this reason, but unfortunately his performance did not meet expectations.
This also gave Tianjin Wei some opportunities, and this time he was the only foreign forward on the roster.
The other foreign player on the bench is a defender, which gives Xue Yang scope to deploy tactics.
This gave Xue Yang some confidence, but he didn't know whether the players could execute it well.
Dong Yourong was very nervous on the court at this time, because Xue Yang had arranged tactics for him alone today.
And he knows that Tianjin Wei's victory or defeat today will require him to shoulder a great responsibility.
Because the task given to him by Xue Yang was to keep an eye on Antal, because Antal was more troublesome in comparison.
If Antal can be restricted, Shandong Luneng's offense will be greatly restricted.
It can be seen that the tasks Xue Yang gave Dong Yourong were heavy, which made Dong Yourong feel nervous.
Xue Yang looked at Dong Yourong on the court, somewhat worried.
Because he knew Dong Yourong's personality and Dong Yourong's mentality was not that good.
You may be nervous in key games, and you may lose track at critical moments.
Moreover, Xue Yang's tactics were not only that, Xue Yang also asked Dong Yourong to stand as close to Antar as possible when attacking.
Prevent Shandong Luneng from counterattacking. After all, Shandong Luneng's wingers are still good.
Under such a tactical arrangement, Dong Yourong is basically defensive and does not need to take on offensive responsibilities.
Xue Yang hoped that Dong Yourong would guard Antal, and it would be very difficult to connect and pass the ball.
As for Ortigosa, Xue Yang was relatively less worried.
Because there is still a king plate in the penalty area, the king plate today is in excellent condition.
He believes that with Wang Pan's strength, Ortigosa's threat will be greatly reduced.
This Paraguayan forward is relatively average in all aspects. He has speed but not amazing, and he has dribbling but can only be regarded as average.
He is 1.80 meters tall but his heading ability is average, and his shooting skills can only be considered average.
As for the local players of Shandong Luneng, the ones that worry Xue Yang the most are Wang Yongpo, Hao Junmin who returned from studying abroad, and Du Wei who briefly stayed with the Celtics.
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
Not long after the game started, Shandong Luneng's Antal noticed Dong Yourong.
Dong Yourong has been wandering around him. Whenever a teammate passes the ball to him, Dong Yourong comes up to interfere.
This made it difficult for Antal to connect with the ball, and after he received the pass, Dong Yourong immediately followed up.
Antal turned around continuously to protect the ball, trying his best to prevent the ball from being intercepted by Dong Yourong.
It's a pity that Antar is still strong, and he still managed to pass the football when faced with Dong Yourong's close defense.
Dong Yourong was always by his side after that, which made Antar very sad.
And what left him speechless the most was that when Shandong Luneng had a chance to counterattack, Dong Yourong was always near him.
Once, before the football could reach his feet, Dong Yourong rushed up and intercepted the football in advance.
In the first ten minutes of the game, Dong Yourong's performance fully met Xue Yang's expectations.
Because of Dong Yourong's presence, Shandong Luneng has never made any threatening offense.
Of course, Tianjin Wei did not have much offense because Shandong Luneng controlled more of the ball.
This was what Xue Yang had anticipated before the game started. If Lu Lewen was still here, the situation would definitely be different.
Lu Lewen has very strong organizational skills and can be used as a foreign aid.
And after Xue Yang's transformation, Lu Lewen's forward penetration ability has improved a lot.
Lu Lewen scored 5 goals and provided 7 assists in half a season. This data is definitely top-notch.
However, Tianjin Wei's current midfield configuration has two young players who are both defensive midfielders.
Although he also has organizational skills, he is still far behind compared to Lu Lewen.
Not to mention Wu Bo, who is at the lower reaches of the Chinese League One in terms of local players.
It is definitely impossible for him to compete with Shandong Luneng in controlling the ball.
So in today's game, Xue Yang asked to play more on the wing.
Comparatively speaking, the current lineup may pose a greater threat from the wing.
Needless to say, Jiang Bin's personal ability is already a star in the Chinese League One.
