As the last major event of the season in domestic football, the FA Cup final was played between Taishan in Shandong and Haigang in Shanghai. In the end, Shandong Taishan relied on Jia Desong's goal to score 1:0 The score beat Shanghai Harbour. Won the double this season.
From the starting lineup, Shandong Taishan is still in a 343 formation, and most of the positions are not surprisingly arranged. In the center position, Guo Tianyu broke forward alone, behind him, Moises appeared in the front waist position, his position was relatively on the right side, fellaini on the left, and Sun Zhunhao and Xu Xin in the back position. In the two wing-back positions, Ji Xiang got the opportunity to start and appeared on the right side, and the left side was still Liu Yang. In the center-back position, Shi Ke, Zheng Zheng and Jia Desong joined forces. Wang Dalei continued to guard the dragon gate. In terms of Shanghai Harbor, although Yu Hai, Lu Wenjun and other players are relatively low on the field, when attacking, they can use good offensive awareness and forward insertion ability to enhance the layering of the team's offensive end. In the frontcourt, Hu Jinghang appeared in front as a single striker, and Oscar, Moi, Matijan and other players provided support behind him.
In the first 15 minutes of the game, Shandong Taishan had the upper hand. Moises is more active in the front court, driven by his interspersed, Shandong Taishan played proactively, especially Liu Yang on the left side got a lot of opportunities to take the ball, but his several times to handle the ball is not ideal, the cross ball appears to be inaccurate. Although it occupies the advantage on the field, Shandong Taishan does not seem to have much to do in front of the opponent's goal. However, a mistake by Wang Shenchao gave Guo Tianyu a chance to almost a single knife ball, but due to his lack of preparation, he missed this excellent opportunity. However, around the 15th minute, Shanghai Harbor played a very good combination, Yu Hai's shot almost broke through the Goal of Shandong Taishan. Wang Dalei contributed a world-class save to save the goal. For Shanghai Harbor, although no goal was scored, this attack played a role in knocking the mountain and shocking the tiger, so that Shandong Taishan had to put more energy into the defense.
Shanghai Harbor took this attack as an opportunity to successfully reverse the unfavorable situation on the field. They began to get more opportunities, and although Oscar was subject to a lot of restrictions, Moi took on the task of attacking the organization to some extent. His ability to hold the ball is quite good, and he rarely loses the ball. After the offensive in Shanghai Harbor, the two flanks of Mount Taishan in Shandong were also suppressed, Liu Yang had fewer opportunities to assist forward, and Ji Xiang was even more difficult to find on the offensive end. In the attack of Shanghai Harbor, several frontcourt players such as Mai Tijiang and Hu Jinghang frequently changed positions, making it difficult for shandong Taishan defenders to keep an eye on the position when defending. In addition, the team's three centre-backs took turns to step forward and take on the task of delivering the ball, which made their integrity quite good. In addition, in the high-altitude ball defense, the preparation of Shanghai Harbor is also relatively in place, and they rely on excellent defense to make it difficult for Shandong Taishan to get the second point even if it can compete for the first point.
In contrast, Shandong Taishan, their three center-backs are more often left in the backcourt, not providing enough support for the team's attack. When he lost the initiative on the field, Shandong Taishan obviously seemed to be uncomfortable. In a limited number of counter-attacks, Shandong Taishan could only barely hand the ball to the feet of Guo Tianyu on the front line, but the young center did not play a fulcrum role under the close pressure of the opposing defender. In the case of holding the ball on his back, guo Tianyu's shortcomings in not being delicate enough were revealed, and it was difficult for him to accurately deliver the ball to the feet of his teammates. In this case, in the second half of the first half, Shandong Taishan could only rely on sporadic long-range shots to threaten the opponent's goal.
After the start of the second half, Hao Wei made tactical adjustments and sacrificed two "magic tricks". First, under Fellaini's leadership, several midfielders controlled the ball more at their feet and regained the initiative of the game. Second, at the defensive end, Shandong Taishan strengthened the high-level pressing, limiting the opponent's rapid counterattack for the first time, so that Shanghai Harbor was greatly restricted in terms of playing, making it difficult to organize an effective offensive. From the middle of the second half onwards, due to a significant decline in physical fitness on both sides, the formation was disjointed, and both sides gained more space on the offensive end. In the 82nd minute, Shandong Taishan finally scored the first goal. Shandong Taishan won a free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area, Zheng Zheng's shot hit the crossbar, and after the other side was released, Jia Desong grabbed the landing point and completed the goal with a powerful shot. Neither side scored after that, and the score was maintained until the end. (The picture comes from the Internet, if there is infringement, please contact to delete)
