At 15:30 on November 2, the first leg of the FA Cup semi-finals, Shandong Taishan played against Henan Songshan Longmen. The Songshan team is known for its defense, but Hao Wei has found a way to break the dense defense with the two major killers delgado and Fellaini.
At today's pre-match press conference, Taishan coach Hao Wei and Delgado attended, which also marked that Delgado will continue to get the start. In the two-legged match of the quarter-finals, Fellaini was absent due to injury. Although Hao Wei said in this pre-match press conference that Fellaini will definitely not start, it also indicates that Fellaini will come off the bench, and with the help of this number one killer, it will add a heavy cannon to the Taishan team to break the dense defense.
In the two-legged match against Wuhan in the quarter-finals, Delgado performed amazingly, and Taishan's 3 goals were all related to him, scoring 1 goal and contributing 1 assist, and the other 1 goal also came from his indirect assist.
In the first leg of Taishan's 2-0 win over Wuhan, in the 60th minute, Delgado crossed from the left and assisted Tian Xin's header to help Taishan take a 1-0 lead. In the 71st minute, Delgado took a set-piece on the left side of the front court to the middle of the penalty area, Jia Desong's close-range shot was saved by Wang Zhifeng, and then Song Long scored to help Taishan lead Wuhan 2-0. In the second leg of Taishan's 1-0 win over Wuhan, in the 64th minute, Liu Yang sent a precise cross, delgado followed up with a push to break the goal, helping Taishan eliminate the opponent 3-0 in two legs and advance to the final four of the FA Cup.
The Songshan team faced the middle of the Middle League team Sichuan Jiuniu in the quarterfinals, but the promotion was very difficult. In the first leg, Ivo's volley scored a 1-1 draw; in the second leg, captain Ivo was injured and had no choice but to exchange blanks with his opponents. Later, after a large penalty, Songshan team advanced to the quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 7-6.
The Songshan team has always been good at playing iron barrel formations, and defensive counterattacks are their winning magic weapons. However, due to the absence of Shunic, Luo Xin, Niu Ziyi, Wang Shangyuan and others due to injury, the Songshan team was greatly affected in defense, and the absence of Ivo, the brain of the midfielder, also greatly reduced their counterattack offensive power.
And Hao Wei has gradually found a magic weapon to break the dense defense in the opponents of songshan team this season. The first meeting in the Chinese Super League this season, Taishan was forced to draw 1-1 by the opponent, Dorado opened the record, Sun Zhunhao scored the debut goal of the Chinese Super League; the second time the two sides met, Taishan won 2-0 against the opponent, Fellaini shot to break the deadlock, Guo Tian Yutou hammered the goal, two high points to open the door to victory.
In this game with the Songshan team, Guo Tianyu could not return to participate in the national team training, but Delgado was in good shape, and his height also reached 1 meter 86, which was also a qualified frontcourt fulcrum. More importantly, Delgar has the speed and foot skills to both take on the responsibility of scoring goals and creating opportunities for his teammates, and he will continue to play an important role in the two games against Songshan.
In this regard, Delgado also said at the press conference: "First of all, I think Henan will play a defensive counterattack in defense, and we will play against this game according to our own methods, hoping to have a good result." ”
Fellaini returns from injury, and although he cannot start, the use of it as a secret weapon will be even more threatening. In Taishan's 1-0 win over Nantong Zhiyun, it was Fellaini who came off the bench to burst the goal and help Taishan successfully qualify. Fellaini has not played in the last three games, and his injury has long since healed, and it is time for him to show his skills against Songshan.
For the match against the Songshan team, Hao Wei is also confident, he said: "The Henan team has changed a little, but it is still the same as before. Hopefully we can have a better way to break the dense defense. ”
