In the first half, Tarzan's advantage was clearly not to score, the shooting comparison was 9-0, Sun Junhao hit the crossbar, and Delgado missed multiple opportunities. In the second half, although Wuhan replaced more offensive players, but the offensive was limited, Delgado finally seized the opportunity to extend the lead for The Taishan team. In the end, Taishan defeated Wuhan 1-0 and advanced to the final four with an aggregate score of 3-0. After the game, Hao Wei was not satisfied with the team's scoring efficiency, and Li Xiaopeng acknowledged the gap and commented that the Taishan team was more energetic.
In the first leg of the showdown, Taishan defeated Wuhan 2-0, according to the rules of the FA Cup, the two legs did not score home and away goals, and the second leg of Taishan team was still dominated by me. Judging from the starting lineup, Hao Wei fine-tuned the defensive line, Zheng Zheng returned to left-back, Shi Ke and Jia Desong partnered at center-back, and Ji Xiang played as right-back. In the midfield section, Liu Yu returned to the starting line-up and partnered Sun Zhunhao at the back, and the offensive combination of Delgado, Tian Xin, Moises and Liu Yang did not change.
The biggest change in the Wuhan team is the return of foreign aides Lopez and Rafael, Li Xiaopeng has made a big adjustment to the lineup, Lopez started, Huang Zichang, Dong Xuesheng, Liu Yun substituted, raphael also entered the big list. From the perspective of formation, Wuhan still arranged a defensive formation of 532, and there were only two counterattack points in front of Lopez and Yao Hanlin. In the first half of the game, Taishan team led the attack, Tian Xin, Delgado and Liu Yang changed positions many times, Taishan team got 9 shots on goal, 3 times to correct, sun Zhunhao also hit a crossbar.
Judging from the overall performance in the first half, the Taishan team had many offensive opportunities, but the ability to grasp them was insufficient, especially Delgado missed at least 3 excellent opportunities. In the 16th minute, he won a series of shots inside the penalty area, once saved by the goalkeeper and once deflected from a small angle. In the 42nd minute, Moises crossed and Delgado's wrap-in shot was deflected off the bar again. Fellaini was absent due to injury and Guo Tianyu had not yet returned to the team, and the Taishan team's attack was tested.
In the second half, Li Xiaopeng replaced Huang Zichang and Liu Yun to try to strengthen the attack, but the Wuhan team's offensive was limited, and the Taishan team still firmly grasped the initiative. In the 64th minute, Taishan played a wonderful counterattack, Song Long on the left passed to Moises, Moises heel cleverly divided the ball to Liu Yang, Liu Yang broke through the cross, delgado in the penalty area wrapped up the goal, Taishan team led 1-0, the total score expanded to 3-0.
Wuhan, who was behind by a large score, showed no signs of counterattack, and Taishan's Tian Xin scored another goal, but the referee ruled that the offside was first, and the goal was invalid. In the end, the score was 1-0, and The Taishan team advanced to the final four with an aggregate score of 3-0. From the full field data, Taishan team shot 15 times, Wuhan team only 2 times, Taishan team advantage is still very obvious, Li Xiaopeng led the team did not bring too much threat to Taishan team.
Speaking about the match after the game, Hao Wei said: "Congratulations to the players, thank the fans for their support, smooth promotion, and hope that the next game will be better and better." For Delgado's play, Hao Wei gave his own views: "Delgado is getting better and better, but there is still some gap from what we imagined. Although scoring a goal, Delgado was not very satisfied with his performance after the game and looked forward to taking more opportunities in the future.
At the last moment of the game, Hao Wei replaced Zhao Jianfei as a cameo forward, and Hao Wei was also a little helpless about this, bluntly saying that there was really no other choice, after all, 6 internationals of the Taishan team were recruited, and there were 5 players in the midfield. For the overall play of the team, Hao Wei still pointed out that the offensive efficiency is not high, and this game is not well done in the choice of the last attack. During the game, the Tarzans did have more chances to shoot and score, but only once.
Wuhan coach Li Xiaopeng said of the game: "The game is indeed more difficult, it is more difficult to maintain a high rhythm, and the hard strength of the Taishan team is still a little worse. As the former coach of the Taishan team, Li Xiaopeng is very familiar with the Taishan team and has great feelings. When asked what changes the Taishan team has, Li Xiaopeng also gave his own answer: "It should be said that there is more vitality, but now many players have gone to the national team, and their strength has also weakened." ”
As Li Xiaopeng said, the overall strength of the Taishan team is indeed affected by the recruitment of international players, and Hao Wei can only make good use of existing players. Since the start of the FA Cup, The Tarzans have won four consecutive games, scoring seven goals and scoring not many goals. The good news was that tarzan's defense was solid, with 4 games being a clean sheet and not giving their opponents too many shots on goal. In the semi-finals, Taishan will play against the winners of Henan and Sichuan Jiuniu, the game is still two legs, Fellaini's injury recovery and the player's ability to seize opportunities will directly affect the promotion trend of Taishan.
