On December 15, Beijing time, the Relegation Group of the Chinese Super League played another round, in which Henan Songshan Longmen drew 1-1 with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic lost 0-1 to Dalianren, and Cangzhou Lions drew 1-1 with Shanghai Shenhua.
The above 3 games were all small scores and the scenes were relatively mediocre, while Wuhan's 5-2 victory over Qingdao made fans feast their eyes and dazzle with goals. Coupled with the 4-2 victory over the Cangzhou Lions in the last round, Wuhan has scored nine goals in two games, and Li Jinyu, the former top scorer of the Chinese Super League and the "rookie coach", has conquered the Chinese Super League again in another way.
9 goals in two games may not be a dazzling achievement for the Chinese super team, but for the Wuhan team, it is like "long drought and nectar". You must know that in all 14 games of the first stage, Wuhan team only scored 11 goals, an average of 0.78 per game, and now it is an average of 4.5 per game!
Why does a team with a weak attack suddenly become a "goal maniac"? I think there are two main reasons, the first is the strength of the Wuhan team itself, and the second is the transformation of the Wuhan team by the new head coach Li Jinyu.
The first stage of the Wuhan team was divided in Suzhou Division, and the teams encountered were Changchun Yatai, Shanghai Haigang, Beijing Guoan, Hebei, Shanghai Shenhua, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Dalian Renren. Against these 7 teams, Wuhan's record is 1 win, 8 draws and 5 losses (double round robin), although only one win against Dalian, but most of the matches are evenly divided.
In other words, the real strength of the Wuhan team may not match their ranking (6th in Suzhou Division), and if the ability to create opportunities or seize opportunities is stronger, they can completely enter the championship group.
The head coach of the first stage of the Wuhan team is Li Xiaopeng, who can be said to have not succeeded in the transformation of the team, or almost successful, but because he was promoted to the head coach of the national football team, Li Xiaopeng was doomed to fail to harvest the fruits of the harvest.
At this time, Li Jinyu took over Li Xiaopeng as the head coach of the Wuhan team, and in a way, there is a kind of meaning of "the former planted the tree and the latter is cool". Although Li Jinyu did get most of Li Xiaopeng's tactical "legacy", it has to be said that Li Jinyu's offensive transformation of the Wuhan team was something that Li Xiaopeng had not been able to do.
Li Jinyu is a striker, his ideas about attack are definitely different from other coaches, these two games are the best evidence, Arthur Junmin, Huang Zichang, Anderson, Zhao Hongluo, Raphael and other players have been activated by Li Jinyu. Wuhan not only scored more goals, but also more flowers, 9 goals were kicked by 6 players respectively, even if the other side defended this player, the player came out again, even full-backs like Zhao Hongluo can come to a double, and how to defend.
Li Jinyu's offensive transformation of the Wuhan team is undoubtedly successful, the ability to create opportunities and the ability to grasp opportunities have been improved, and the striker who once created the Chinese Super League goal record really has "something". I sincerely hope that these two games of wuhan team are not short-lived, and I also hope that Li Jinyu can hold up the flag of local coaches and bring different things to Chinese football!
