"Mentality returns to zero", Chen Yang cooled Yatai

Special correspondent Liu Zhun reported on the 2-0 victory over Guangzhou City, Yatai goalscorer Junior, who scored a winning goal, to continue to lead the Chinese Super League top scorer list with 12 goals. The Brazilian goalscorers are in a heroic state and have undoubtedly hoisted the appetite of the fans. On the evening of December 15, at the 16th round of pre-match press conference, head coach Chen Yang cooled down the team, "Against Shenzhen team, we still have to return to zero mentality, this is not to show weakness, but to play with this mentality, which is conducive to on-the-spot play, which is good for the development of the team." ”

The core is absent, and Chen Yang transforms Tan Long

At 20:00 on the 15th, Yatai went to Yuexiu Mountain Stadium for the last pre-match exercise. Before the training, Serginho released his absence due to injury through social media; in addition, Sun Jie accumulated 4 yellow suspensions; coupled with Rao Weihui, who was suspended in the FA Cup and Wang Peng, who left the team, Chen Yang was missing 4 tough players. However, Zhang Yufeng, a U23 player who was injured in the last round, although he had five stitches with an eyebrow bone injury, Chen Yang said that he could continue to play.

Considering the devil's schedule of the three-day match, as well as the second stage of the league, this kind of combat and non-combat attrition is also expected by Chen Yang, who has made adjustments in the lineup in the last round against Guangzhou City.

'Serginho's injury is a recurrence of an old injury in the supplementary match on August 15, there is a problem with the fifth phalangeal bone (of the left foot), his departure will cause a lot of damage to the team, but we will unite and more players will stand up and complete the task." Chen Yang said.

Who will replace Serginho? Chen Yang did not answer positively, but highlighted Tan Long, who hoped that Tan Long could participate in the defense and other players to participate in the attack, relying on the overall solution to the problem of Serginho's absence. In fact, Chen Yang's tactical thinking is very clear, that is, all the staff participate in the attack and defense.

In a 2-0 victory over Guangzhou City, Tan Long ran 11,838 meters, becoming the player with the longest running distance in the round. At that time, Serginho was fighting with an injury, and Tan Long made a great sacrifice, he was close to Serginho to increase the defensive area of the team area. When attacking, Tan Long will also return to the midfield to play a tandem role in supporting his teammates. Chen Yang said.

Although Tan Long is an offensive player whose main task is to break the goal, under Chen Yang's transformation, Tan Long has also made sacrifices, in Chen Yang's words, "This is the embodiment of the team."

The characteristics of the deep foot have been clarified

In March this year, Yatai played a teaching game with Shenzu at the Shenzhen Universiade Center, although it lost to the opponent, Chen Yang also found out the characteristics of the opponent, "Shenzhen team is a very strong team, there are many players with distinctive offensive characteristics in the midfield, which will put a lot of pressure on our defense, and we hope to win without losing points." ”

For the eight teams in the championship group, the cost of the Chinese Super League championship and AFC Champions League seats in this special season is lower than in any previous season. Therefore, when Taishan, Yatai and Haigang respectively won the opening of the championship group, the outside world believes that the champion will be produced between Taishan and Haigang, and Yatai will be black to the end.

In public information, the outside world can not find the voice of Yatai's desire for the AFC Champions League seat or championship, but Junier once expressed his personal desire for the Chinese Super League championship in an interview with brazilian media, "This is a very tired season, but everyone is working hard for the team's performance, if you can lift the championship trophy at the end of the league, it will be the best reward." ”

The expectations of the outside world and the desires of the inside have also brought pressure to Chen Yang, after all, this is not in line with his steady pace of progress. Before the start of the second stage of the championship group, Chen Yang had a low profile and said that Yatai's dark horse said that the concept was too vague, or it was more realistic, hoping that the whole team would play every game down-to-earth.

However, after winning Guangzhou City, Chen Yang also cheered for Yatai, "Whether in the first stage or the second stage, with the improvement of the team's performance, everyone's requirements for us will be higher, and we will do our best to create good results." ”

Chen Yang has an introverted personality, speaks cautiously, and pays attention to reality - "The high profile of the team needs capital, and the development of the team needs to have the long-term planning of the club, and lay a solid foundation year by year, rather than a good season, which represents the strength of the club." Judging from the current situation of the clubs, I can also prove this view. ”
