The game went on for a while, and everyone was surprised to find that Zhou Haibin's position was said to be an attacking midfielder, but more of them appeared in the penalty area. He partnered with Pellet and Fellaini, and changed the Taishan team's striker from two towers to "three highs"!
The Evergrande team's defense line, originally 4 defenses and 2 defenses, was evenly matched. Now that there is an extra Zhou Haibin, it is beginning to be a little bit powerless.

For crosses from the wing, Zhou Haibin, who is 1 meters tall, can't reach the top, Pellet, who is 85 meters high, can't reach Pellet, and Fellaini, who is 1 meters high, can't reach the top of the ball.

But this is not the most fatal, what's more terrible is that Hao Junmin revitalized the sidewalk!
The third brother's technical ability is top-notch among domestic players. He usually plays an organizational midfielder and takes on the heavy responsibility of the team's offensive and defensive transition.So, the once all-powerful sidewalk Peter Pan is back!
Several one-on-one breakthroughs made the defensive players dizzy.He easily dribbled the ball to the bottom line, and several crosses were accurately passed to the heads of the outflanking players, which was very threatening.

Dong Lu: "Without comparison, there is no harm! In the second half, Taishan's header success rate was significantly higher, just because the passer became Hao Junmin! The pass is comfortable, and it is easy to push it up!"

Li Xin: "It turned out that it was none other than their own bad crosses that could stop the Taishan B52 bombing brigade!"

The Taishan team's unremitting header bombing finally paid off.In the 62nd minute, the Taishan team won a corner kick. Hao Junmin took the penalty. Fellaini headed the ball before the point. Pellet jumped high in the middle. Although he missed the point, he took away the defender.
1:1!The total score was tied to 2:3!

Dong Lu excitedly said: "Let me just say it! The battering ram has finally shown its power! It smashed a hole in the city gate of the Evergrande team! I have a hunch that it is not over yet. The Taishan team, which has tasted the sweetness, will smash the header even more violently!"

Sure enough, the Taishan team continued to insist on carrying forward this style of play.

First, in the 67th minute, Hao Junmin broke through Browning lightly and crossed the penalty area. Feng Xiaoting made a clearance error in a panic. Pellet turned and volleyed and was resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo.

Then in the 70th minute, Hao Junmin broke out from the double-team again, and made a diagonal pass to Zhou Haibin in an inverted triangle. The latter's strong shot was saved by Liu Dianzuo.

In the 74th minute of the game, the Taishan team finally overtook the score. Hao Junmin took the ball from the side to attract the defenders, and quickly transferred the ball to Zhang Chi on the right. Zhang Chi drove the ball directly to the penalty area.Using his tall body, Fellaini leaned on Feng Xiaoting, turned around and volleyed, and the ball went straight into the dead corner!
The Taishan team overtook the score, 2:1!The total score of the two sides was pretended to be a 3:3 tie!
The Olympic Sports Center is boiling!In an instant, it turned into a sea of ​​joy.

The players on the field cheered and hugged, and everyone on the bench off the field also high-fived each other.

Li Xiaopeng, who couldn't hide his joy, came to Gao Yuan's side specially. Gao Yuan thought that the head coach was going to give him a high-five. He just stretched out his hand, but Li Xiaopeng hugged him into his arms and gave him a big bear hug.

"Xiao Gao, it's lucky to have you!" Li Xiaopeng said excitedly.

The tactical adjustment in the second half was Gao Yuanchu's idea. Although the coaching staff and players had objections, Li Xiaopeng rejected all opinions and adopted his opinion.

Practice has proved that the persistence of the two of them is right!
Dong Lu roared excitedly: "Beautiful! To be perfect is to be perfect! The Taishan team performed the high ball to the extreme. Even if they were as strong as Evergrande, they were knocked out by the extremely fierce high-altitude bombing. The master duel does not need to be proficient in all 72 special skills. You only need to practice a set of extremely powerful Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon, and you can still dominate the martial arts world!"

Li Xin had to calm down: "Then tell me, will the Taishan team continue to go all out and beat the Evergrande team to death with a header?"

Dong Lu: "I don't think it's very likely, because the previous style of play was completely unconventional. It was a tactic to kill one thousand and lose eight hundred. Because the Evergrande team took the lead first, they restrained their hands and feet and retreated voluntarily. They did not pose any threat to the Taishan team's defense.

Now that the total score has been equalized, they can no longer blindly defend. Once their formation is premised, the diamond-shaped midfielder of the Tarzan team cannot resist the impact of Paulinho and Talisca at all.You know, although the total score is a tie, it is actually more beneficial to the Evergrande team in the away game, because once they score again, they will have the advantage of more away goals.Therefore, I predict that the Tarzan team will abandon the previous style of play and switch back to a tactic of balancing offense and defense. "

After the total score was equalized, the Taishan team's formation was adjusted as expected.

To think about defeat before thinking about victory is the way to be handsome!Although if you continue to stick to the style of play just now, you may score again, but if you lose the ball at this time, it will be fatal, and no one can bear the consequences.

But different from what Dong Lu guessed, the Taishan team did not completely return to the previous 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation, but still adopted a 4-4-2, but the midfield position changed from a diamond shape to a double midfielder.

Dong Lu observed for a while and praised: "Just now I underestimated Li Xiaopeng's determination to guide. I thought he would commit the old habit of domestic coaches being conservative. I didn't expect him to want to end the battle within 90 minutes of regular game time! Zhou Haibin retreated and strengthened the defense in the middle with Liu Junshuai, but the positions of Fellaini and Hao Junmin did not move, which shows that they did not give up attack while strengthening defense!"

Li Xin: "Everything has two sides. If we do this, if we win the game, we can say that there is defense in the offense and offense in the defense. But on the other hand, is it considered to be concerned about gain and loss, with both ends?"

Dong Lu: "There are many factors that determine the outcome of a football game. The coach's tactics are only one aspect, and more are the physical fitness, technology, will, and even luck of the players on the field. Although history is written by the winners, it is impossible to judge whether Li Xiaopeng is right or wrong until the game is over. But I think that in terms of the adjustment of this game, Li Xiaopeng has already won."

The fan Li Xin answered in a timely manner: "How do you say it?"

"You can see how many players in the Taishan team have changed their positions. The original full-back Zheng Zheng played the central defender, the central defender Liu Junshuai played the midfielder, the organizational midfielder Hao Junmin played the winger, the midfielder Fellaini played the center forward, and Zhou Haibin even played the three positions of the midfielder, forward and midfielder. Although soldiers are unpredictable, in general football games, at most one or two players will play positions that they are not familiar with.

But this time, half of the Taishan team is in their non-main position, and it is still changing.The formation has also changed from 4321 to 442 diamond-shaped positions, and then to 442 double midfielder parallel positions. The adjustment range is so large, but not only is there no chaos, but it runs very smoothly. The more you play, the better, and the score is reversed.

This shows what?It shows that Director Li Xiaopeng is very familiar with the characteristics of the team's personnel, commanding the team like a finger, observing the game meticulously, and the players are well-trained in their usual training.So just based on the personnel rotation and tactical adjustments in this game, I don't think Li Xiaopeng has lost! "

Li Xin teased: "I can hear it. You are a rookie!"

The two commentators chatted vigorously there, and the game became even more lively.

The Evergrande team, whose total score was equalized, felt the pressure and stopped defending blindly. They attacked under the leadership of Paulinho and Talisca.

The Taishan team did not show weakness either, and the two teams played against each other on the field.

Since Fellaini and Hao Junmin, the main defensive midfielders, are not in their original positions, Taishan's central defense is facing tremendous pressure.Although Liu Junshuai and Zhou Haibin worked very hard, they couldn't stand it under the repeated impact of Talisca and Paulinho, a pair of super foreign aid.

It is easy to break through the barrier of the midfield and hit near the penalty area.

In the 76th minute, Paulinho sent a through pass and Talisca advanced, almost forming a one-shot. Fortunately, Zheng Zheng chased back quickly, took the lead in shoveling, and cleared the ball out of the baseline.

In the 79th minute, Taliska made consecutive passes, entered the penalty area, kicked and shot, but was interfered by Zheng Zheng and did not use his strength.

In the 83rd minute, after Talisca picked a pass, Paulinho knew that he would go forward against offside. It was Zheng Zheng who made a judgment early and started ahead of time to block Paulinho.

At several critical moments in a row, Zheng Zheng stood up and saved the team.

Li Xin: "Zheng Zheng played really well this time! The tree moves the dead and the living, and the veteran has a second spring in his new position!"

Dong Lu: "So I still have to exaggerate Li Xiaopeng. After Gil left, everyone felt that the sky was collapsed and finished! The Defense of Taishan team was over! No one expected that Li Xiaopeng actually applied his hands and pushed Zheng Zheng! At this moment, the veteran Zheng Zheng could continue to play the heat in the middle of the defender. The speed just makes up for the shortcomings of another Zhongwei Dai Lin, a trick, all live! "

Li Xin: "After this game, Director Li Xiaopeng will treat you to dinner no matter what! You praise him like a flower!"

Dong Lu laughed and said, "I'm not just talking nonsense, I'm praising with reason!"

Although Zheng Zheng performed bravely, the impact of the two super foreign players in the big team still shocked everyone.

Hao Wei couldn't help reminding Li Xiaopeng: "The game is coming to the final stage, should we let Fellaini and Hao Junmin withdraw first, keep the current score, and we can talk about it in overtime!"

Li Xiaopeng also frowned into the word "Chuan", looked at the watch on his wrist, gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on a little longer!"

The current game is very open, both sides have opportunities, and no one wants to play overtime where the future is uncertain. At this time, both sides are desperate. If they retreat one after another, the anger may dissipate.

In the 88th minute, Hao Junmin made a breakthrough from the right side and made a high pass. Fellaini shook his head and attacked the goal, but was caught by Liu Dianzuo.

In the 90th minute, Paulinho and Talisca slammed into the wall and shot furiously at the front of the penalty area. The ball rubbed against the crossbar and slightly higher, shocking the home team into a cold sweat.

In the 92nd minute, Pellet received a cross from Zhang Chi and passed it to Hao Junmin in the chest.

·····
At this time, everyone on the benches of both sides stood up and watched anxiously from the sidelines. Even the referee was completely attracted by the intense competition and forgot the rule that no one else was allowed to stand in the coach's command area.

The two teams are fighting, Li Xiaopeng and Cannavaro are betting to see who can't hold on first.

In the 95th minute, the Taishan team dropped a high ball into the penalty area. Liu Dianzuo desperately hugged the ball at the cost of being knocked over by Pellet.

The referee blows his whistle and the regular game time is over.

The score is temporarily fixed at 2:1, and the total score is 3:3.
According to the rules, it will enter overtime.

This is not good news for both sides. This game is too intense, and both sides are exhausted physically. No one knows what will happen in the next 30 minutes.

If the winner cannot be determined in overtime, it will have to face an extremely cruel penalty shootout.

When thinking of penalty kicks, Gao Yuan thought of Wang Dalei's bleak state. He hesitated whether to remind Li Xiaopeng again and change the goalkeeper.

But just as he was walking towards Li Xiaopeng, he suddenly heard exclamations from other people on the bench.

"It's broken, look at Pellet's legs!"

Gao Yuan was startled, and hurriedly looked, only to see Pellet walking towards the field, limping, with a look of extreme pain on his face.

Could it be that... the collision with Liu Dianzuo at the end of the game caused him to be injured? !
Sure enough, after an emergency inspection, the team doctor Sandro shook his head in the direction of the coaching staff and made a gesture for a substitution.

This bad news is like a bolt from the blue for the Taishan team.

At this fatal moment, the main center Italian Cannon was injured!
What about the remaining 30 minutes of overtime?
But it's pointless to complain now, and I have to find a way quickly.

Fortunately, the Taishan team still has one substitution.At this moment, on the bench, there are four substitute players, Liu Binbin, Han Rongze, Cui Peng, and Duan Liuyu.

Han Rongze is the goalkeeper; Cui Peng is the midfielder and is 34 years old; Duan Liuyu is the midfielder/wing midfielder and is only 21 years old this year;

Liu Binbin is the most suitable candidate no matter in terms of position on the field, personal ability, or status as a national player.Even Liu Binbin thought it was time to change into himself. He stood up, took off his training vest, and began to prepare for warm-up activities.

"Cui Peng, you go!"

Li Xiaopeng made an arrangement that surprised everyone.
