Standing on the sidelines, Scola was as deep as water, staring at the court with a worried look.
It is now the second half, and the score is still 1-0.
Jingcheng Guoen, playing at home, temporarily takes the lead.
The two sides were at odds with each other, and they were having a great time fighting each other.
To put it bluntly, Scolari feels that this should be regarded as the most challenging game he has encountered in the Chinese Super League and even the AFC Champions League since taking over Yangcheng Hengda.
The opponent was still a team from the Chinese Super League.
This made him truly realize for the first time that Yangcheng Hengda might lose.
Not just losing a game, but potentially losing the league title He wouldn't have believed this last season, or even before this game.
Even when Jingcheng Guoen was winning three consecutive games, he was full of confidence in his team.
But now, he is really shaken.
Jingcheng Guoen's tactics are indeed very lively, especially the entire midfield and frontcourt.
This game won Pu Cheng and Kaka.
Scolari is very aware of the level of his compatriot.
Many people's impression of Kaká still remains that of the invincible young man chasing the wind.
However, as everyone knows, Kaká has begun to gradually transform after being seriously injured.
Kaka now looks like a midfielder with a wide range of activities, excellent foot skills, able to dribble the ball forward, pass and shoot.
Although his playing style is far less dazzling than at his peak, it is still quite good.
And judging from his performance in the American Major League and the Chinese Super League, his injuries have basically healed and his condition has been maintained quite well.
If a player like this is placed in the Chinese Super League, he is a reliable core player. .
Pochettino is very smart, and Ibrahimovic is the core of the frontcourt attack.
With the Swedish center's personal ability, who can limit it?
As long as the ball can be passed to Ibrahimovic's feet, he can create a threat.
Scolari also knew this clearly, but he was unable to completely restrict Ibrahimovic.
Feng Xiaoting and Jin Yingquan, neither of them could stand up to him alone.
Is it possible that they would have to fight three against one?
Then how can we play this game?
Ibrahimovic is the arrow.
He can not only serve as the team's most important scorer in the frontcourt, but also the bridgehead of the team's offensive tactics, planning the team's offense in the frontcourt.
Having such a player with such outstanding personal abilities and such distinctive technical and tactical characteristics in the frontcourt is a considerable threat even in the top European leagues, let alone the Chinese Super League.
It can be said that Jingcheng Guoen’s introduction of Ibrahimovic is definitely a super killer weapon.
But Pochettino did more than just that.
Surrounding Ibrahimovic, Zhang Xizhe and Wu Lei, as well as Chen Zhizhao, who has been successfully activated this season, are all players with outstanding personal abilities, good foot skills, and certain organizational and passing abilities.
In this game, Jingcheng Guoen has another Kaka in the midfield and frontcourt.
Such an offensive lineup configuration is definitely a big test for Yangcheng Hengda.
Scolari wanted to limit the Jingcheng Guoen team's offense, but he didn't know where to start.
The opponent has a very clear offensive core, and that is Ibrahimovic, but the problem is that you can't restrict him.
Well, if you follow that line of thinking, the usual approach is to avoid Ibrahimovic.
Since I can't restrict you, I won't let you catch the ball easily, isolate you from your teammates, cut off your teammates' passing routes, and leave you isolated in the frontcourt.
But the problem is, whether it is Zhang Xizhe, Wu Lei, Chen Zhizhao, or Kaka, they all have enough personal ability to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic's feet.
Once the Swedish center gets the ball, Jingcheng Guoen's entire frontcourt offense comes alive.
It can be said that the small-scale cooperation of Jingcheng Guoen's players at the front of the penalty area is very exquisite.
The offensive routine of two or three people is very lively.
Coupled with Ibrahimovic's intimidation in the frontcourt, it is really It's a headache.
After the first goal, Scolari suffered enough in this regard.
As a last resort, the situation was stronger than his own, so he could only lower his body and was forced to call the players back and retreat.

I can't afford to offend you, can't I still afford to hide?
A man is capable of bending and stretching.
I will hide from you first, avoid his sharp edges, and then slowly find opportunities to play with you.
But Scolari has rich coaching experience and knows very well that if you face a coach with Pochettino's coaching style, if you give in too much, he will push further.
Therefore, when retreating, Scolari also planted a hidden mine in the frontcourt.
That is, he asked Goulart and Jackson Martinez to specifically pinch Xavi Alonso.
Scolari is very clear about the characteristics of Xabi Alonso.
He is world-class in passing and organization, but he lacks the ability to escape.
Once he is targeted, his organization and passing ability will be greatly reduced.
Not only that, after the midfielder fully retreated, the focus was on Jingcheng Guoen's team at the front of the penalty area to cooperate and penetrate.
Captain Zheng Zhi and midfielder Paulinho stayed in this area.
By retreating and sticking to the center, Yangcheng Hengda forced Jingcheng Guoen's offense to go to the wings.
At the same time, it cut off the connection between the wings and the center.
Through its numerical advantage, it restricted the performance of players such as Ibrahimovic.
It should be said that Scolari's targeted defense in the first half caused Yangcheng Hengda to be passive and even embarrassing on the court, but it worked successfully and barely blocked Jingcheng Guoen's attack.
Not only that, by restricting Xavi Alonso, Yangcheng Hengda also got several good counterattack opportunities.
But how long such tactics can last is a question.
And now that Jingcheng Guoen has a ball in hand, Yangcheng Hengda must also try every means to score.
But what is surprising is that at the beginning of the second half, before Yangcheng Hengda, who should have been more eager to score, made any move, Pochettino had already taken the initiative to make changes.
The Argentine coach's response was also very simple.
Xavi Alonso retreated to the defense and formed a three-centre defender with Xu Yunlong and Lei Tenglong, and the two full-backs Zhang Chengdong and Jiang Zhipeng pressed up.
At the beginning of the second half, facing Southampton's sudden change of formation and fierce attack, Yangcheng Hengda's goal was once again in turmoil.
Scolari looked at the court worriedly, then glanced at the young Argentine coach in front of the home team's coaching bench, and cursed in his heart, Nime, you are really unreasonable, just like that bastard Bielsa. a temper But I want to score again Hum, you are so beautiful Just now I was just careless and fell into your trap.
Ibrahimovic and Kaká used their personal abilities to score the goal.
Now I want to score again.
You are so beautiful "Go, tell our two full-backs to get back into the box and let the opponent roam the wings."
"Tell Zheng Zhi and Paulinho to pay attention to help defend the two sides of the penalty area."
"Notify Goulart and ask him to retreat and stand at the front of the penalty area to protect."
"There is also Jackson Martinez.
On counterattacks, look for him and use him to counterattack."
Following Scolari's series of arrangements, the assistant coach quickly walked to the sidelines and immediately conveyed it to the players on the court.
As soon as the players on the court received the adjustment instructions from the head coach, they immediately made targeted responses.
Scolari stood on the sidelines and saw that Chen Zhizhao, the right winger of Jingcheng Guoen, failed to get a chance in the frontcourt.
He hurriedly passed the ball and wanted to hoist the ball into the penalty area, but the ball was hit by Zeng Cheng.
It was confiscated and he immediately burst into laughter.
He looked at Pochettino again, his eyes full of pride, "Let your kid learn from it."
Not only that, after limiting Jingcheng Guoen's offense, Yangcheng Hengda quickly seized an opportunity.
Zheng Zhi made a long pass from midfield, and Jackson Martinez quickly stepped in to counterattack.
Although the two central defenders of Jingcheng Guoen, Xu Yunlong and Lei Tenglong, quickly followed up and attacked from both sides, Jackson Martinez still got a chance to kick outside the penalty area, but he kicked off in a hurry, and Lei Tenglong Teng Long harassed from the side and failed to hit the right spot, and the ball went out of the baseline.
Scolari looked on from the sidelines and shook his head.
For this goal, if there were Hengda players beside Jackson Martinez to follow up, then the Colombian center would be able to avoid being in a situation where he was fighting alone, and then this attack would probably be possible.
But just now he asked the players in the frontcourt to retreat.
When they were counterattacking, they couldn't press forward so quickly.
Jingcheng Guoen's two central defenders returned to defense very quickly, especially Lei Tenglong, who was very difficult to deal with.
Now for Yangcheng Hengda, it is a bit of a dilemma.

Scolari wanted to press out and play, but was worried about defensive problems.
But without pressure, it would be difficult for Jackson Martinez alone to make a difference.
Just when Scolari hesitated, something changed again on the court.
After Kaka and Zhang Xizhe hit the wall and cooperated, they found Wu Lei at the front of the penalty area.
Wu Lei quickly knocked back.
Kaka got a chance at the front of the penalty area and fired angrily.
The ball hit with great force, causing all the fans in the stadium to burst into an uproar.
But goalkeeper Zeng Cheng reacted quickly and quickly hit the ball with both hands.
Chen Zhizhao quickly stepped in from the right and hurriedly shot a follow-up shot, but it went high and missed an opportunity to expand the score.
But it was Chen Zhizhao's shot that made Scolari, who originally wanted to press out and hit, couldn't help but hold back his thoughts.
Today, Jingcheng Guoen is gaining momentum.
It would be too dangerous to suppress it at this time.
Wait a little longer But soon, Kaka retreated again to receive Lei Tenglong's pass.
When he turned and dribbled the ball forward, he directly passed the ball over the top with one kick.
Ibrahimovic knowingly threw away the two central defenders of Hengda, quickly stepped in, and before the ball hit the ground, he picked up his right foot and performed a very difficult kick, which happened to hit the ball. on the fall line.
The ball was forced to turn in one direction and fell to the right.
Feng Xiaoting and Jin Ying were both shocked, but when they reacted and looked over, they found that Wu Lei had stepped in from behind, faced the falling ball, and with one kick, he dumped the ball directly in front of him. , and then quickly catch up.
Yangcheng Hengda goalkeeper Zeng Cheng was immediately shocked.
God knows how the Swede made such a difficult move.
He originally thought Ibrahimovic would hit the goal directly, or stop the ball first.
Therefore, when Wu Lei quickly intervened, he reacted immediately and abandoned the goal to attack.
But he is fast, and Wu Lei is even faster.
Just after Wu Lei caught up with the ball, he kept his eyes on Zeng Cheng and pushed the ball directly.
The ball passed by Zeng Cheng, stuck to the turf, rubbed the right post, and crashed into the Yangcheng Hengda goal.
Two to zero "The ball went in" All the fans in the entire Workers' Stadium cheered in an instant, and all the passion was ignited in an instant.
"Wu Lei Wu Lei Wu Lei" This local shooter, who just transferred to Beijing Guoen for a sky-high price this season, performed very well in the new season and conquered the fans of Workers' Sports.
This goal is amazing Not only did Wu Lei calmly seize the opportunity, but also because of Ibrahimovic's sudden and difficult kicking action.
Who would have thought that the Swedish center could even assist with such an action?
Could it be said that this move comes from Taekwondo?
The whole building was boiling.
Everyone knows that with a two-goal lead, Yangcheng Hengda is basically finished.
Even Scolari, the head coach of Yangcheng Hengda, could not help but show a frustrated look.
He had already retreated, but unexpectedly, he still failed to defend:
