In the first match of the second stage, although the Wuhan team only had one foreign aid left, it played a level that had not been seen in the whole process of the first stage before, and defeated the Cangzhou Lions with three foreign aides 4-2, making a good start. Considering that the new head coach Li Jinyu has been in charge for no more than ten days, maybe we really blame Li Taishou, and our new national football coach still has something...
Anderson Lopez was almost the same as when they first met in the first stage, back, ball, impact, shooting, everything is not bad, everything is not too top-notch; Arthur Junmin is still the third brother who does everything well; Huang Zichang and Fang Hao are still so energetic but slightly reckless; Liu Yun is still so long than passing combing and shorter than fighting confrontation... The players on the attack line are still this group of players, but the performance of the play is completely different.
López changed the dilemma of not being good at sports warfare in the first stage, and scored a sports goal that changed the trend of the whole game, pulling the Wuhan team back to the original plan from the edge of shaking; Liu Yun repeatedly sent a fatal blow with a pass, and Lopez did not see huang Zichang who received the goal miss once; under the dispatch of Arthur Junmin, Fang Hao and Huang Zichang rushed the opposing defense line to pieces.
In this way, Li Xiaopeng's difficult situation in the first stage may really be just as he said, there are always more difficulties than solutions; otherwise it is impossible to explain why the Wuhan team behaves more like a team when its paper strength is obviously greatly reduced - in the off-season, these months have obviously practiced a lot of things.
As soon as it came up, it was sneaked in by the opponent's foreign aid to score a goal, and most of the people watching the ball played drums in their hearts, and according to the urine nature of the first stage, I am afraid that it will already be more fierce. Later, it was somewhat surprising to be able to launch a decent attack and pull two goals in a row - although the goals were all through set-pieces, the pressure actually caused by the opponent on the field was visible and felt.
In the second half, people were continuously pressured to equalize, and it made people feel tight, and as a result, two consecutive counterattacks made the opponent dumbfounded. A few players simply passed three passes and two falls, and easily tore through the defense line of the Cangzhou Lions, which was rare in the past. The establishment of such a defensive counterattack system may make all future opponents alert for three points: if you dare to attack me like the opponent in the first stage, just wait to be beaten!
Why was Li Taishou controversial in the first place? Because no one can see what the Wuhan team is playing, is it a defensive counterattack, or a ball control penetration, or even a long pass attack? Foreign aides like Evra, who are well-known in the Chinese Super League, have been used to shrink their hands and feet. If the Wuhan team had this kind of performance at the beginning, it would definitely be able to enter the championship group, but it is entirely possible to accumulate a large pile of points and play the second stage.
As for why it didn't play at this level in the first place, there may be many reasons. Maybe there are too many new players and it is difficult to run in; maybe there are too many off-field factors such as injuries and illnesses to prepare for the battle...
In fact, it does not matter, even the current Wuhan team has scored two goals by the Cangzhou Lions, but at least it gives fans a hope: maybe the road to relegation is not so difficult.
If there is still one hope, it is probably: maybe Li Taishou can do something with the national football team?
