In a relegation match in the Chinese Super League that ended yesterday, Dalian won one of the most important matches on the relegation road by a 2-1 comeback victory over Qingdao. In the fourth game of 10 days, these four players showed amazing physical fitness and perseverance, not to mention the performance on the field, the team scored nine points in four rounds, and these four players were indispensable.
In these four games, the starting player of the goalkeeper position has always been Zhang Chong, although the goalkeeper position is not too physically challenging, but it requires the player to concentrate 100%. In the first two rounds of the competition, Zhang Chong kept a clean sheet against the opponent, and in the last round of the match against the Cangzhou Lions, Zhang Chong played generally. However, in last night's key match against Qingdao, between 37 minutes and 40 seconds and 38 minutes and 54 seconds in the first half of the game, Zhang Chong made four consecutive saves, all of which successfully defused the opponent's shot. Zhang Chong's wonderful play has made people see the figure of "Saint Zhang Chong" again.
In the back line, left-back Li Shuai also started four consecutive games and played the whole game. As a left-back, Li Shuai's running ability on the side is obvious to everyone, the sprint before and after the whole game, when returning to defense, it is also not hesitant to physically, even if it is a cross that has been questioned by everyone, it can be seen that Li Shuai has special practice. Without Carrasco, Li Shuai's strength feels like a lot of decline, but as one of the few left-backs in the team, Li Shuai is already the best choice.
In the back position, Wu Wei may not be able to get a rest. From the statistics point of view, the number of yellow cards of Wu Wei is 7, according to the policy of four yellow suspensions, Wu Wei will not be suspended in the next round of matches. As a defensive back, Wu Wei is more responsible for defense than organization on the court. This season, Wu Wei's defensive data has improved significantly, with average steals per game, interception and clearance compared with last season, and it is Wu Wei's defense that allows Zhao Xuri on the other side to more calmly devote time to midfield combing and attacking.
Although Sun Guowen on the flank did not play four full-time games, he played three games and was replaced in another game on the bench. Some people may be Sun Guowen is the "offensive terminator", but Sun Guowen is really "not dead", even in the last moments of the game can still speed up at full speed, and Sun Guowen's no-ball running can also greatly deplete the opponent's physical energy. In recent games, we can also see that Sun Guowen's crosses are more accurate and more threatening, although there will still be times to lose the ball on the side, but Sun Guowen can sit firmly in the main force, indicating that it still has a very important tactical role.
In addition to the above four players, Dong Yanfeng and Tong Lei are also four consecutive starts, while Boateng and Larson have also played more than three games, so the high-intensity game has very high physical requirements for the players, and it is easy to be injured. Before the match against Dalian, Alexandrini played the first three rounds, if Larson is in the same situation, will it be Larson who is injured? If Larson goes off, will dalian still have a chance to win? According to what an old brother said, the fans can know the truth, and Jose must also know it. In my opinion, Jose is professional after all.
