Reporter Liu Xiangyu reported that after the interval, the championship group Guoan played the first team in Guangzhou. In the past, this may have been the year-end finale of each season, but now both teams have some of the meaning of falling behind. In contrast, Guoan is still better, at least the club is stable, and the Guangzhou team is broken. There is no smell of gun smoke, and the competition for hegemony in Beijing and Guangdong has become a thing of the past.
The international is in good shape
Guoan has been preparing for war in Shanghai for some time now. The various clubs in the Chinese Super League have encountered some problems, a wide range of unpaid wages has made the Chinese Super League experience the coldest winter in history, even the National Security, which has not been in the past, has also had problems, the club is tightening the belt of the pants, investors are also trying to solve the problem, fortunately, the training and preparation of the first team has not been delayed, and everything is in order.
Before leaving Shanghai and entering the Guangzhou division, Guoan played a warm-up match with Haigang and lost. The result of the game is not unexpected, Harbor is one of the few clubs that remain stable, stability refers to the composition of foreign aid and domestic players, who are regarded as the only team that can compete with Shandong Taishan for the championship. Guoan's new signing Silva scored two goals in this game, and near the main game, foreign aid gradually found shooting boots, which is good news for Guoan.
What is also good is that Guoan's international footballers have returned to the team in good health. After completing the quarantine, the club gave the international footballers a small holiday, and now they have returned to the team one after another. The physical condition is not a big problem, but also depends on the state of the game, "although the internationals have not trained with the team for a long time, but at present it seems that they are in good shape. Bilic said optimistically.
Without strong foreign aid, Guoan's local players, especially the international footballers, will play a more important role. After the return of the international team, Guoan's squad gradually thickened, and several young players also entered the division with the team, with enough manpower to cope with the intensive schedule.
Li Lei's stay in Yang has been determined, but he will fulfill his contract with Guoan, at least he can play in all the competitions this year, and Li Lei himself hopes to stand on the last shift.
After Li Lei left, the Guoan left a vacancy in the left-back position, among the existing personnel of the team, Kim Tae-yeon can be on top, in addition, the young player Naibi Jiang can also play, and the club is also looking for some new candidates.
Play every game well
In the past, Guoan went south to Guangzhou twice in a season, playing Guangzhou City and Guangzhou Team, both opponents are difficult, the away match with Guangzhou Team, is the most difficult game of the whole season, the last three times Guoan and Guangzhou team have lost two losses and one draw, of which the two games lost are 1-3.
Meeting again will be a contest between internationals, and it will also be a test for Bilic. When the game was played to the last stage, it was time for Guoan to come up with something decent.
In previous matches, Bilic had used to use a three-centre-back formation. Yu Yang is in postoperative recovery and cannot play for the team in a short period of time, Yu Dabao, Yang Fan and Jin Pengxiang are available, in addition, young player Liang Shaowen may get a chance. Full-backs Wang Gang and Li Lei are two internationals, and Kim Tae-yeon can plug and play. In the midfield, Chi Zhongguo was a little strained before, the problem is not very big, Zhang Xizhe, Park Cheng, Gao Tianyi, Cao Yongjing can play. On the front line, Bilic will choose between Zhang Yuning, Silva and Wang Ziming.
The match with Guangzhou will start on December 13, followed by Guoan against Taishan on the 16th, the schedule is very dense, Guoan must enter the rhythm of the game as soon as possible to avoid "holiday syndrome".
Overall, Guoan's squad is still highly competitive, and if the foreign aid is fully equipped next season, it can still maintain the top four gears.
In the current standings, Guoan has accumulated 24 points, 9 points away from the leader Shandong Taishan, and Guangzhou is also 6 points ahead of Guoan. Based on all aspects of the situation, it is difficult for Guoan to make a difference in results this year, and the club's goals have also been adjusted, from the championship at the beginning of the year to the current "play every game".
"Our goal is to play every game well, stay aggressive and go all out to win. Judging by the state of the last game of the first stage of the team, we are very strong. Bilic said. Our opponents are also very competitive and believe that their goals are the same as ours, so we have to do our best. ”
Although Jingyue has lost the taste of the past, but after holding back for so long, the players can finally return to the field, and the fans can finally have a game to watch, which is also a long drought. The win or loss of the game is still very important for both sides, but I am afraid that it will not be as stubborn and competitive as before. An era has passed, and we all need to learn to accept all this, starting with the Beijing-Guangdong War.
