In the locker room, Xue Yang was arranging tactics for the second half of the game. This was the opening game of the Chinese Super League, and Xue Yang hoped to end with a victory.
Even if the opponent is the runner-up in the Chinese Super League last season, Tianjin Wei currently has the advantage.
"We did well in the first half, but there are still some problems." Xue Yang told all the players.
"That's our defense, we weren't focused enough on the defensive end today."
"The opponent knocked on the goal several times, but it was because we were not focused enough and missed someone."
"As for the offensive end, our midfield configuration is stronger than our opponents, so we increased our possession of the ball in the second half."
"Control the football at your feet as much as possible to reduce the opponent's chances of attacking."
After describing the general changes, the next step is the changes for players.
"In the second half, Qin Dabao, you try to retreat as much as possible and put more experience into defense."
"If the pressure is not too great, you can support the defense in the middle."
Today, Qin Dabao is facing off against Ji Xiang. Ji Xiang is definitely not as good as foreign aid, but he is still better than Qin Dabao.
So Xue Yang asked Qin Dabao to focus on defense, which would be safer.
"Next is Hurtado and Shao Yi. In the second half, you can make more passes and take advantage of them."
Zheng Jinshan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Xue Yang's words. He didn't expect that he wasted so many opportunities. Not only did Xue Yang not blame him, he even made more crosses.
However, he soon fell into disappointment because of Xue Yang's next words.
"Zhou Zheng, prepare for the second half and use your advantages after playing." Xue Yang said to Zhou Zheng.
Xue Yang's intention is very clear, that is to replace Zheng Jinshan.
Although Zheng Jinshan was disappointed, he would not blame Xue Yang.
He did not play well today and several opportunities were wasted by him.
The halftime break ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court.
Both sides were full of desire for victory, but Jiangsu Sainty soon discovered the difference.
Compared to the first half, Tianjin Wei became more oppressive, which made them very uncomfortable.
At this time, Zhou Zheng was already on the court. Zheng Jinshan looked at Zhou Zheng on the court and felt a little guilty.
Starting the first game of the new season shows how much Xue Yang values himself.
But he failed to seize the opportunity and could only put his hope in the next game. I hope Xue Yang still trusts him.
Soon Jiangsu Sainty also made a substitution, and this substitution left Xue Yang confused.
Jiangsu Sainty is now at a disadvantage in possession of the ball, but their head coach actually replaced midfielder Krivits at this time and replaced him with foreign forward Saleh on the bench.
The midfielder was originally at a disadvantage, but now he has replaced a midfielder, and he is also a foreign player.
Now Jiangsu Sainty is even more passive. Xue Yang can imagine that Tianjin Wei's ball possession rate will crush Jiangsu Sainty in the future.
Jiangsu Sainty's idea is very simple, which is to add a forward to score goals.
The time came to 56 minutes unknowingly. After Tianjin Wei successfully defended, they launched a counterattack.
The football came to Qu Xuan's feet. Qu Xuan dribbled the ball forward while observing the position of his teammates.
And he subconsciously looked at the left side, and Qu Xuan was a little used to it.
Jiang Bin was in this position last season, and Qu Xuan always looked for Jiang Bin immediately.
However, Qu Xuan suddenly discovered that foreign aid Hurtado was running forward.
In fact, it wasn't just Hurtado, Zhou Zheng and Shao Yi were also running forward.
Among them, Zhou Zheng is undoubtedly the slowest. Fortunately, he has improved slightly after training.
Coupled with his long legs, it seems that he is not slow at all.
After Qu Xuan saw Hurtado, he decisively sent a long pass to the left, still giving a certain amount of advance.
Because he was worried that Hurtado was not as fast as Jiang Bin, Qu Xuan deliberately reduced the lead time.
However, he underestimated Hurtado's speed, and Hurtado quickly caught up with the football.
As for the opposing full-back Zhou Yun, he has been trying hard to catch up, but he can't catch up with Hurtado at all.
Hurtado paused slightly after stopping the ball because the advance was slightly smaller.
Zhou Yun took this opportunity to catch up a little, but soon Hurtado began to fly forward with the ball.
Hurtado was really fast, and soon he was near the 45-degree left side outside the penalty area.
He subconsciously looked at the position of his teammates and found that they were not keeping up.
Hurtado slowed down his pace, and Zhou Yun finally caught up. He came to an emergency stop in front of Hurtado.
He wanted to prevent Hurtado from breaking into the penalty area, but after decelerating, Hurtado suddenly accelerated his dribbling towards the baseline.
Hurtado suddenly slowed down and then accelerated again, leaving Zhou Yun completely helpless.
This is a gap in talent. Zhou Yun was suppressed by Hurtado in terms of motor skills and abilities.
After Hurtado accelerated and came to the left side of the penalty area, Erelson quickly returned to his own penalty area because of his position.
At this time, Erelson was very hesitant. If he defended against Hurtado, he was worried that Hurtado would pass the ball to other Tianjin defenders.
However, if there is no defense, it will be more dangerous for Hurtado to break into the penalty area.
So Erelson chose to defend, and his choice was correct.
Because Tajiyev was not slow to return to defense and was about to return to the penalty area.
And if the quality of Hurtado's pass is poor, even goalkeeper Deng Xiaofei may not be able to pass.
Hurtado saw Erelson coming to defend and made a decisive pass without any hesitation.
The football flew into the penalty area in an arc, and Zhou Zheng finally arrived.
But there was still a slight gap, so Zhou Zheng decisively flew up to fight for the top.
Zhou Zheng has grown a lot in the past month, and he begins to know what he should do.
Zhou Zheng hit the football hard, and he hit the header solidly.
So the ball was very fast and goalkeeper Deng Xiaofei wanted to make a save.
But he had just lowered his center of gravity and before he could take off, the football had already flown into the goal.
Tianjin Wei leads Jiangsu Sainty 1-0!
"The goal is scored! Zhou Zheng, who came on as a substitute, scored his first career goal!" Duan Xuan explained excitedly.
After more than half of the game, the goal finally came.
"This time it was still started from Hurtado. Hurtado relied on his speed advantage to come to the left side of the penalty area."
"After attracting the defense, he made a decisive pass, and Zhou Zheng rushed in with a powerful and heavy headbutt!"
"The score is now 1-0. I believe many people did not expect that the first goal scorer was the newly promoted Tianjin Wei."
"Tianjin Wei played very well today, and Jiangsu Shunzhen was not unjust." Xu Yang continued to explain.
"As a newly promoted team, Tianjin Wei played very strongly. Facing last season's Chinese Super League runner-up, they also played with a suppressive force."
"It is not that the Chinese Super League has never had strong newly promoted teams, such as Guangzhou Evergrande, but Tianjin Wei is obviously different from Guangzhou Evergrande."
"Although Tianjin Wei's foreign players are good, they are stronger than their local players."
