Chapter 134 Early Announcement First Release

At this time, there were 15 players in the visiting team's locker room, so neither the fans nor the home team could know who Cao Yu's starting 11 players were.Oh, I was wrong, there is one that everyone must know, and that is the goalkeeper Li Weijun, because he is the only goalkeeper in the locker room, it is impossible for Cao Yu to ask Xu Liang to guard the goal.

Cao Yu's way of doing this can be regarded as a trick of "Ecstasy Formation".

After all, they are away. Although they are also in Guangzhou, they are either Whampoa Stadium or away.

In the away game, I don't know if the opponent has any means to monitor the starting 11 in his locker room. In order to prevent the opponent from knowing his starting list early, Cao Yu thought of this trick.

Indeed, when Cannavaro, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, learned that there were 15 people in the visiting team's locker room, his face turned blue from holding back—he didn't expect the head coach of the visiting team to be so good at playing ecstasy. (This World Footballer is really, the pattern is broken).

There is still half an hour before the teams make their starting rosters.

During these half an hour, Cao Yu was still racing against time in the locker room to instill tactical instructions for the game to his starting 11 players.

Cao Yu is not afraid of long-winded words. In his opinion, emphasis is very important.

Emphasis does not mean wordy, and similarly, wordy does not mean emphasizing something. It can only be said that people who like wordy are not very good at expressing their meaning.

Although there were 15 smoke bombs among the 4 people, they also gathered together and listened tirelessly to Cao Yu's continued explanation, because they didn't know whether they would come off the bench.

Unlike the mystery of the Fujixun team, Cannavaro, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, announced his starting list at the pre-match press conference the day before the official announcement of the starting list.

The specific arrangement of Cannavaro's starting 11 players is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng;
Left back: Zou Zheng, center backs: Feng Xiaoting, Jin Yingquan, right back: Zhang Linpeng;

Back midfielders: Zheng Zhi, Zhang Jiaqi, Zhao Xuri;

Front waist: Goulart;

Forwards: Elkeson, Alan Carvalho.

Substitutes: (Goalkeeper) Li Shuai, Gao Lin, Yu Hanchao, Liu Jian, Rong Hao, Rene Juninho, Liao Lisheng.

Guangzhou Evergrande sent their strongest lineup to meet their opponents in the FA Cup semi-finals. This arrangement was also questioned by the media: Why didn't Cannavaro arrange a rotation or let young people play a kick? ? ?

Faced with questions from friends from the media, Cannavaro smiled like a gentleman, and replied to friends from the media: "There is a saying in China, which is called: It is a joy to have friends from afar. Although it is also a Guangzhou team, However, as an alternative derby between the top of the Chinese Premier League and the top of our Chinese Super League, I hope that the fans who bought tickets to enter the Tianhe Sports Center will not be sorry, and I hope that both teams can contribute a wonderful game to the fans."

At the pre-match press conference, Cannavaro also expressed his expectations for the game.

"I have seen the game video of the Fujixun team. Their No. 20 player's breakthrough speed is too fast. I feel that the speed is not inferior to our Alan Carvalho. We place our hopes on one of the best defenders in our team. One——Zhang Linpeng, being able to stop the performance of No. 20 in the game is the key to whether we can win this game. I am very much looking forward to the head coach of the Fujixun team who can also send the strongest lineup in his hands to compete with our Evergrande The first battle, I believe, will be an unprecedented Guangzhou Derby."

Although Cannavaro's words sounded very official, under the "modification" of the media, Cannavaro's words became different.

For example, some media said: Cannavaro provoked the main force of the Cao Yu faction.

Some media also interpreted it as: Although Cannavaro asked Cao Yu to send all the main players, he still didn't want Cao Yu to play with all the main players.

Regarding Cannavaro's understanding of the 20th Li Yuming of the Fujixun team, everyone also has different opinions.

Some people think: Cannavaro doesn't look down on Li Yuming at all. He thinks that Zhang Linpeng can lock up Li Yuming, who has been killing all sides in the Chinese Premier League.

Some people also think: Since Cannavaro mentioned Li Yuming, it proves that his tactics must have made a lot of preparations for defending Li Yuming.

Everyone speaks their own words, and no one knows whether they are right or wrong.

This is what we call: free speech. (As long as it is above a certain legal and moral bottom line, you are free to express any opinion. Of course, you must not offend some politically sensitive topics, otherwise, ahem, someone will buy you an espresso.)
Return your gaze to the field.

Nearly half an hour before the start of the game, the officials of the FA Cup finally received the Fujixun team's long-overdue starting 11-man roster.

But according to the usual practice, the starting rosters of both sides will be officially announced in the form of official announcements half an hour before the start of the game.

Because Cao Yu has learned through media channels that Cannavaro announced at the pre-match press conference the Guangzhou Evergrande team's 11 starting players and 7 substitutes in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Therefore, Cao Yu also has more room for adjustment, for example, to make some targeted adjustments to the starting 11 players, or to make some fine-tuning of his own tactical formation for the issue of formation restraint.

In fact, there is not much room for such adjustments.

Guangzhou Evergrande's starting 11 players can be said to be the strongest starting lineup they often use this season. No team can take advantage of this luxurious lineup.

No matter how you adjust it, you can't bear the impact of the three Brazilian foreign players in the frontcourt of Evergrande.

This is what we said before: one force will reduce ten meetings.

In the face of absolute strength, any little tricks are like showing off, and it is impossible to stand up in front of such a luxurious lineup.

After Cao Yu learned of the starting 11-man lineup arranged by Cannavaro, he also took a pessimistic attitude.

Knowing in advance is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is: you can take the opportunity to make adjustments, changes in formation, and changes in personnel.

The bad thing is: the players of the Fujixun team will also have a greater psychological burden because they learned that Guangzhou Evergrande has sent all the main players.

Originally, Cao Yu's guess was that Cannavaro should play half of the main lineup in this game. For example, in the midfield, they should play Rene Juninho, and then remove the full-time Alan? Carvalho, used for the Hanchao or Gao Lin to appear in the forward position, and then use Alan Carvalho to rush up in the second half. Such a rotation tactic.

But I didn't expect that the Guangzhou Evergrande coaching staff with Lippi behind the scenes thought highly of their Fujixun team.
