Jiang Zhipeng was suspended, Enrique returned to China to accompany the birth, and in the face of the lack of major generals, Ricardo sent Liu Yue, Eiffelding, Dalan, and Tao Qianglong on the offensive end of the "four small" lineup, aiming to break the game with speed.
Enrique is not there, and Three Towns have no replacement for the centre-forward. In the face of the Luneng defense line composed of Zheng Zheng and Shi Ke, the three towns could not take advantage of the height. In this case, Ricciardo simply gave up his height in the hope of winning with speed, and Eiffelding was placed in the center position. It is obviously unrealistic to let him be a fulcrum like Enrique in the middle lane, so Eiffelding's main quest is one: to cut forward.
In the game, whenever the ball is converted, Eiffelding will decisively choose to insert the ribs in front of him, focusing on the vacancy behind Liu Yang's attack. And the effect did work, Eiffelding made several breakthroughs to create chances, and even almost created a penalty for the team. In the second half, Liu Ruofan came off the bench to play the center position, although the height went up, but the team still continued this line of thinking. Liu Ruofan is more about breaking through and responding with the ball, and does not blindly compete with the opponent for the header.
In contrast, the rotation of left wing-backs has struggled to keep the team on fire. Jiang Zhipeng's bottom cross has always been the most relied on scoring means for the three towns, but after Zhang Tao replaced him yesterday, the left wing formed by him and Liu Yue almost did not go down, and it was more difficult to have crosses. Ricardo still needs to think carefully about the personnel arrangement on this point, after all, at the age of 35, it is a bit difficult to expect him to play the full 90 minutes of the game.
After talking about Ricciardo's substitution arrangement, let's focus on Ricardo's special emphasis on free kicks, and he emphasized to the players that free kicks will be the magic weapon to win the game. When we see this lineup arrangement, it is estimated that we will be full of questions, how can we compete with the opponent for free kicks with such a height? But it's a bit of a metaphysics, and the fact is that Three Towns really scored from a free-kick. Although this goal is more "dependent" on Liu Yang, it can also be seen that Three Towns' training this week has indeed worked free kicks. A very simple example, from Tao Qianglong's corner kick, it can be seen that the team's offense has changed more, from Ren Hang and Zhang Xiaobin to find the front point, and then to the flat fastball drawn to Park Zhizhu's header in front of the goal, if Park Zhizhu is a little more accurate, the score is likely to change again.
As a result, we see that in the absence of the two main players, Ricciardo is trying to reduce the impact of the absence of the main players for the team as much as possible in the limited space. At the beginning of the league, some people may question Ricardo's personnel adjustment, but now with the progress of the league, Ricardo's familiarity with the players and the Chinese Super League is increasing, and he is more comfortable with substitution.
In the next round of away challenges to Henan, the two teams are only 2 points apart, and it will be a crucial game, and I hope that the two who return from the next game can continue to continue this fire for the team.
