Reporter Lu Mi reported that after returning from the intermission, Chengdu Rongcheng returned to the home stadium to usher in the focus of the battle, and the opponent was Beijing Guoan. Prior to this game, Rongcheng was in third place, nine points ahead of fourth-placed Guoan. This match can be seen as both a "revenge battle" for Rongcheng and the first leg, and an important battle to establish a third-place lead. As a result, Rongcheng played the content of the preparation period in the first half and established a two-goal advantage, but in the second half, in the face of the changes brought about by Guoan's substitutions and tactical adjustments, they fell into a situation of wide open defense. In the end, he was chased by the opponent for two points in a row, and while losing a good game, he also failed to "revenge".
In this game, Chengdu Rongcheng made adjustments in the midfield and backfield. Gan Chao and Yang Yiming, who have regular appearances, sat on the bench, Dong Yanfeng finally got the chance to start, and Mai Tijiang partnered with Zhou Dingyang in the midfield. Both teams have the home of the Devils, and this game is also a strong match. The overall results of the two sides, Rongcheng fell behind, and this game coincided with the "Baosan" battle and the "revenge war", Xu Zhengyuan put a lot of effort into studying the opponent and formulating tactics.
At the beginning of the game, Chengdu grasped the rhythm of the game, and when leading the attack, it emphasized the quality of the pass and the pressure on the opponent's defensive line, starting from the midfield to put pressure on Guoan. And when the opponent takes the initiative to press, the defense of the three lines is also very uniform. On the side, Chengdu Rongcheng Gulfinkel and Cao Yongjing's confrontation completely dominated, and the success rate of interception and passing was very high. Including the space created by Palacios with his body and speed to make Rongcheng comfortable with the ball in the frontcourt, thus pulling the defense of Guoan.
Rongcheng scored two goals in the first half, and the way these two goals were scored was the embodiment of Xu Zhengyuan's tactics. The first goal came from a wide arrangement, and midfielder Zhou Dingyang pinpointed the unmarked Luo Muluo with a precise heel, who slotted home with his left foot. The second goal was also a combination from the wing, and Felipe changed the score. Although Rongcheng trailed their opponents half the possession time in this half, the efficiency of 7 shots on goal and 5 shots on target was enough to prove their ability to control the game.
Seeing the process and results of the half, most people will feel that Chengdu Rongcheng has won nine out of ten in this game, and the only task in the second half is to achieve more flowering. But the reality is completely opposite to the imagination, Guoan took the lead in making changes to the offensive means, becoming more concise and neat, and soon after the start of the second half, he took advantage of a corner kick opportunity, and Cao Yongjing pulled one back with a header. In fact, it was not a difficult header to defend, but Chengdu's defense was not 100% focused at the time. Captain Zhou Dingyang immediately signaled the players to be sober and not to be immersed in the momentum of the first half.
But Rongcheng was not able to adapt to the changes in national security quickly. After the first goal was conceded, the second goal was also conceded. In the 68th minute, when the midfielders were over, the defense line did not fall in time, and the 3-on-3 situation was completed by Lin Liangming, and Guoan equalized. At this point, the game is completely caught up in the rhythm of the opponent.
It can be seen that Xu Zhengyuan wants to win Beijing Guoan very much, but failed to gain 3 points, on the one hand, the team does have a lack of experience in the face of strong teams, on the other hand, luck is also very bad, shortly after Gan Chao came on the bench, he was replaced due to a strain, and Xu Zhengyuan used up all the substitutions in 82 minutes.
From a two-goal lead to an equaliser by two domestic players, both in terms of the process and result of the equaliser, it was a little uncomfortable for the team. But this process is indeed the result of the team's failure to adjust its response in time after dominating the game to falling into passivity.
After the game, Xu Zhengyuan said: "Today's game is still very regrettable and regrettable overall, in fact, during this period of time, our whole team has prepared very seriously, so it is a pity that we failed to win today." But on the other hand, I think today's game can also provide a better experience for our players, because there are five games left in the league and we have to take it seriously. Sometimes you get the feeling that you can win if you play well today, but football is not easy to win. I hope that the regret of this game will give our players some inspiration to deal with the next five rounds and get back together. ”
