In the just-concluded 9th round of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou Evergrande (Guangzhou) defeated Shandong Taishan 2-1, reaching the top of the Guangzhou division for the first time this season. However, in the game, Evergrande was supposed to end the game 2-0, but in the stoppage time stage of the game, the international Zhang Linpeng staged a disastrous defense that led to the loss of the ball, almost making Shandong a draw.
Yes, yang Liyu broke the deadlock in the first half, and Axon widened the score in the second half.
Until the 93rd minute of stoppage time, Guangzhou was leading by two goals. At this time, there is only 1 minute left before the 4-minute stoppage time, probably thinking that it has won the game, Evergrande defender Zhang Linpeng made a catastrophic mistake in defense.
Originally, shandong's attack was not a threat, and the opponent had already passed the ball to his feet with a header, but Zhang Linpeng did not break the ball with one foot, but stopped the ball and wanted to bring it back. But he did not observe Delgado behind him, and the latter snatched the ball at his feet and then sent the ball into the Evergrande goal in one fell swoop.
1-2, Shandong Taishan trailed by only one goal, with 1 minute left before the end of normal stoppage time. In front of the Evergrande gate, the Shandong Taishan players saw the hope of equalizing.
This is not the first time that Zhang Linpeng has made such a low-level mistake, and there have been such a moment from time to time in previous competitions. Of course, this is certainly not a technical mistake, but a result of too relaxed mentality. For Zhang Linpeng's mistakes, the narrator Xu Liang believes that Zhang Linpeng's physical fitness has declined, otherwise he generally would not have such a mistake.
But just before the end of the game, there was another controversy. Shandong Taishan foreign aid Fellaini angrily pushed Evergrande goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo in a touchless ball.
The cause was a shot from Delgado inside the penalty area that kicked the Evergrande player and popped up the bottom line. However, this simple ball caused controversy among the players on both sides, who crowded together to say something around the referee. During this period, Fellaini, who was a little fiery, suddenly and quickly pushed angrily on the shoulder position of Liu Dianzuo, which immediately intensified the contradictions on the field.
The specific controversy screen is shown below. For Fellaini's action, Xu Liang said that this must be a red card action. Then the referee called Fellaini aside and took out a yellow card to warn him.
For the referee's judgment, Wei Yidong and Xu Liang in the commentary said that they could not understand. Seeing the referee pull out a yellow card, Xu Liang Oh said, "Yellow card? Wei Yidong thought it unreasonable to only give a yellow card, because "this is an attack on the opponent's body in a dead ball state." Xu Liang followed up and said that the ball is normally a red card.
Although Fellaini's action is not very large, it is not friendly in nature, and it may be that the referee took out a yellow card for his small action. It can be said that Fellaini escaped the disaster.
After the game, Evergrande won 18 points, the same as Shandong Taishan and Shenzu, but Evergrande scored more goals and thus reached the top of the table.
In the last meeting, Shandong Taishan defeated the Guangzhou team in average form. Now the two sides have met for the second time, and the Guangzhou team, which has clearly recovered in form, has won a set. After the game, Evergrande coach Cannavaro said that Shandong has always been a difficult team to deal with.
