In the first round of the Guangzhou Derby this season, the Evergrande team bloodbathed its city rivals 5-0. Although Evergrande did have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, it won the final with such a big score. The victory of the game still surprised the fans. In the past Guangzhou derbies, although the R&F team has never surpassed Evergrande in terms of strength, it has always been able to play vigorously and with extraordinary momentum in the game. However, in this game, the R&F team did give people a feeling of weakness and had no ability to fight back. Evergrande won the Guangzhou Derby with overwhelming force. Let's go back and analyze this game, resulting in this There are three main reasons for the result of the game.
The first is the strength gap between the two sides. This can be clearly seen from the comparison of the starting prices of the two sides. R&F's starting price is 10 million euros, while Guangzhou Evergrande's starting price exceeds 38 million euros. Evergrande's starting price is 3.8 times that of R&F. This data can reflect the gap in strength between the two sides.
Second, the R&F team has just changed its coach. Van Bronckhorst has not taken over the team for a long time. Compared with Cannavaro, he is not familiar enough with the team, and Van Bronckhorst Te's tactical play is also quite different from that of former coach Stojkovic, especially in the use of center.
The former coach Stojkovic gave Zahavi a great degree of freedom. He can change positions at any time, find loopholes in the opponent's defense, and give the opponent a decisive blow. Under Te, Zahavi is a pure center. He should stand in the center's proper position and receive passes from teammates in the penalty area to shoot. Therefore, an extremely rare phenomenon occurred in this game. Zahavi got 10 shooting opportunities in the whole game, but let alone scoring goals, he even hit the goal very few times. The reason for this phenomenon is, The reason is that Zahavi is a spatial shooter. If you expose him to the opponent's defense in the penalty area, and there is no absolute advantage in physical confrontation, it will be difficult for Zahavi to shoot high-quality shots.
Third, the ability to pass the threatening ball. Throughout the game, the R&F team was almost evenly matched with the Evergrande team in terms of ball possession rate, and the passing success rate was the same as that of Evergrande, both 89. Therefore, in terms of passing organization, there is no difference between the two sides. , but in terms of passing the threatening ball, the gap between the two sides is huge.
Evergrande can always find opportunities to pass the ball to its most threatening players, such as Wei Shihao, Talisca and Paulinho. As for R&F, due to the relatively rigid positioning of the frontcourt players, they have the advantage of controlling the ball but are unable to hit the ball to the core area. When they reach the frontcourt, they can only hand it to Renaldinho or It was Zahavi and several other foreign players who allowed them to use their personal abilities to solve the problem. However, it was obvious that this style of play was too physically expensive and the effect was not obvious.
Therefore, when we summarize this game, we can find that the cooperation between Evergrande’s generals is more tacit, while R&F is still adapting to the new coach’s tactics at the beginning of the season. Therefore, there is such a situation. The strength of big scores is also a normal phenomenon.
