Grassroots Glory

Lippi also attended the press conference immediately afterward, but he did not announce the starting lineup at the press conference. It is not yet the last two hours before the game. For Guangzhou Evergrande, which is obviously weaker, they can only use this method, there is a big gap in strength, in case the starter is exposed too early, will Dortmund still play tactical targeting seriously? That's not even more worth kicking.

Lippi just took captain Zheng Zhilai to express his attitude: If we are afraid of Dortmund, maybe the players will not have the motivation to win the last game. Everyone is looking forward to it. This will be a wonderful game. That is to say, We're not going to be conservative.

Zheng Zhi also added next to him: Yesterday when I was talking about this game with Zhou Tiancheng, he deliberately avoided the subject. I know him well. He is not willing to waste his time talking about games without any suspense. But maybe He couldn't really say anything after the game.

Zheng Zhi was not a person who liked to brag, it was very rare for him to express his opinion in Zhou Tiancheng's style.

Weak in strength, but not weak in momentum. At least both sides have taken the attitude that journalists like to see.

But Lippi is still very pragmatic when it comes to the tactical level.

If the head coaches of the two sides change roles, Klopp is in the role of Guangzhou Evergrande head coach. It is estimated that he will ask everyone to let go, and it is even possible to play against Dortmund!

Anyway, it is clear that ninety-nine percent of the games are to be lost, at least a satisfactory process must be pursued. If you can go all out to score a goal or more, then even if you lose badly in this game, you can still explain the past. The Chinese media are sometimes harsh, but they are psychologically tolerant in the face of such a confrontation with too great a gap in strength.

But Lippi obviously still wants to pursue results-judging from the announced starting list, Dortmund is facing the task of breaking the iron barrel today.

But it is not the shrinking of the back line. Lippi deployed heavy troops in the midfield. The midfielder arranged three midfielders Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri and Huang Bowen firmly in front of the back line. Do your best to intercept.

Of course the goal is very clear - the first task is to limit Zhou Tiancheng.

The three of them watched as Lippi drew a circle on Zhou Tiancheng's name and put a cross on it: You all understand, right? Limit Zhou, I don't need to say more about his ability, you are all players of the national team, you should know , It’s not up to one person to guard against him. But Zheng Zhi, you may need to take on more.”

Zheng Zhi nodded lightly, indicating that there was no problem. In fact, he didn't know what he could do in his heart, but he knew he had to do his best. It's a big deal to put a shovel on your feet. Anyway, that guy is also very resistant.

...

The Chinese media made various preparations for this game,

They even invited a professional big data company to come up with a set of comparative data on the ability advantages of opposing players in each position through the analysis of the game data of the players on both sides.

Looking at it this way, the data is very touching.

Basically, the advantage data bar of Dortmund's players is several times longer. Lewandowski played against Feng Xiaoting, with a 95% chance of winning; Barrios played against South Korean defender Kim Young-kwon, with a 90% win rate; Hummels played against Brazilian foreign aid Elkesson, with a 90% win rate.

Of course, a football game is not a simple data comparison, but if every position shows such an obvious overwhelming advantage, the result is basically no surprise.

But the most surprising thing is the midfielder. Big data has actually predicted that Zheng Zhi should be the main man-marker for Zhou Tiancheng today. After all, experience and defensive skills are the strongest.

And the data comparison between the two of them is - Zheng Zhi 2%, Zhou Tiancheng 98%.

I don’t know how the big data is calculated, but when they got the result, even the media didn’t give Zheng Zhi any face, and said directly: Fortunately, it’s not 1%, otherwise it might look more like a big data company is taking care of Zheng Zhi. Wisdom face.

Anyway, Zheng Zhi has become the most popular candidate for this year's Asian Footballer of the Year by virtue of his performance in the AFC Champions League and the National Team Confederations Cup this season. According to some news, there is basically no suspense in overwhelming the competition to be elected.

You can't embarrass Mr. Asian Football, right?

...

When the game really started, many unsolved suspenses were answered.

From the first minute, Dortmund continued to suppress on the field, and Guangzhou Evergrande's two lines on the field were extremely clearly cut: three foreign players in the front field were waiting for a counterattack opportunity, and seven local players shrank in their own half.

The offense depends entirely on foreign aid, and the method is basically long pass.

When Zhou Tiancheng began to press towards the penalty area, the three midfielders all came up to surround him and tried to tackle him. But their intentions were too obvious, Zhou Tiancheng didn't let the ball fall at all, he volleyed and directly passed Lewandowski.

Zheng Zhi was very active and turned around directly. At the moment when Lewandowski was about to turn around and wipe off Feng Xiaoting, he tackled the ball from the side and rear and left the ball cleanly under his feet.

Zheng Zhi did a great job! Experience helped. Duan Xuan said excitedly.

But Zheng Zhi just fell to the ground and left the ball in front of him with a tackle. Before he got up, he felt someone pressing up from behind him.

Only Zhou Tiancheng can be so active. Sven Bender lags behind to protect near the middle circle arc. As long as the intensity of the opponent is not strong, he generally will not take the initiative to press from a high position and close to the body.

Zhou Tiancheng posted it. I posted it on Zheng Zhi, let's see how Zheng Zhi handles it!

This kind of confrontation made everyone even more energetic.

Zheng Zhi spread his hands, wanting to use this method to increase the defensive area and counter Zhou Tiancheng's strength. And the ball is being distributed towards the wing.

All choices are correct. Zheng Zhi's experience in the midfielder position is indeed one of the best among local players.

The only thing that drags him down is his body, after all, he is old. Zhou Tiancheng didn't even use his experience, and directly squeezed him with his body, making him struggle with the high pressure behind him all the time.

Sure enough, the effect was received. Royce sharply cut inside and grabbed the ball.

Aha! There is no miracle. Dortmund scored in the opening six minutes. The difference in strength is indeed a bit big, and even Zheng Zhi is powerless.

The fans smiled, and everyone accepted it. Even Zheng Zhi was so overwhelmed that the midfielder and the backcourt couldn't connect, so what else is there to talk about?

He is already considered the top midfielder in the Chinese Super League. During the national team games, Liu Jianhong, the old commentator of CCTV, often said: Zheng Zhi's control ability is the top in Asia, Zhou Tiancheng is world-class, and the two are strong. .”

But now I can see, what is the gap between the top in Asia and the world?

Probably the same as the comparison of each position on the court. It doesn't feel like a football at all.

This has to be a dimensional level, right?
