On December 12, the second stage of the Chinese Super League relegation group competition ignited a fire, Wuhan team in a one-goal behind, 4-2 reverse victory over the Cangzhou Lions, to achieve a red start on the road to relegation. After the game, Li Jinyu, who made his debut in charge of Wuhan, said: "Although we won, it was definitely a tough game, and the opponents put a lot of pressure on us, especially the crosses and set pieces on the wing. Fortunately, our performance today was also very good, the players showed a strong fighting spirit, and finally achieved a good result, laying a good foundation for the next game. ”
Before the match against the Cangzhou Lions, the Wuhan team was full of morale and wanted to win the first game of the relegation group, dedicated to the new coach Li Jinyu. But before the game came the bad news, foreign aid Rafael's physical condition could not meet the requirements of the game, failed to appear in the 23-man roster. It is understood that Raphael has not participated in any official competition since last year and has had minor injuries before the game. For the purpose of protecting the team, Li Jinyu decided to let Raphael rest. This means that the Wuhan team can only face the three foreign aides of the Cangzhou Lions with a single foreign aid Lopez, and the team's local players need to have more responsibilities.
Without Raphael, Li Jinyu arranged for Huang Zichang and Liu Yun to partner with Lopez in the starting lineup, while young player Fang Hao appeared on the right wing. It can be seen that even without Raphael, the Wuhan team must carry out the attack to the end.
After the opening, Huang Zichang and Fang Hao used their speed advantage to pose a certain threat to the opponent on the side, but it was the opponent who opened the situation first. In the 17th minute, Cangzhou Lions striker Oscar took advantage of Fang Hao's defensive mistake to poke a shot before goalkeeper Wang Zhifeng. The Wuhan team, which was 0-1 behind, immediately launched a counter-attack. At this time, the veteran Arthur Junmin played the role of fixing the sea god needle, and in the 26th minute, he assisted Yang Boyu's header with a corner kick to equalize. In the 41st minute, Huang Zichang created a penalty in the penalty area, and López scored a penalty to make the score 2-1. Although the Cangzhou Lions used a corner kick in the second half to tie the score 2-2, Arthur Junmin's wonderful pass in the 58th minute assisted Lopez to score twice and once again overtake the score. In the 62nd minute, Huang Zichang single-handedly forced the opposing centre-back Su Zu to score the oolong ball. In the end, Wuhan team defeated the Cangzhou Lions 4-2.
You know, Wuhan team in the first 14 Games of the Chinese Super League this season, only scored 11 goals, and this game scored 4 goals, I have to say that Wuhan team in the four-month long interval, the offensive firepower has been completely released. This is good news for the Wuhan team aiming to relegate. On the evening of December 15, the Wuhan team will usher in a competition with the Qingdao team.
