On December 26, Beijing time, the competition in the Chinese Super League championship group ushered in the second round of competition. After 90 minutes of competition in the Beijing-Shanghai battle, Guangzhou Evergrande found defender Deng Hanwen with a straight kick from "coach" Zheng Zhi, who scored a world wave to win Beijing Guoan 1-0. I have to say that this is a marvel in the Chinese Super League, the goal is the defender, and the assist is actually the team manager!
Guangzhou Evergrande because of financial difficulties, the team's foreign aid, coach and naturalized players have left, zheng zhilin, who does not have a coaching certificate, was appointed as the executive manager of the team, and will lead guangzhou Evergrande of the all-China class to compete in the second stage of the championship competition. Without foreign aid and naturalized players, Guangzhou Evergrande and the championship are naturally impossible, but they can let fans see whether the all-China class has the strength to fight in the Chinese Super League.
Zheng Zhi is already a player who is almost 42 years old, has not played much in the first half of the season, and after he becomes the executive manager of the team, he may have less time to play. However, for Evergrande fans, they very much want to see Zheng Zhi's reappearance. For neutral fans, they also hope to see such a spectacle of the Chinese Super League, the coach of a team is actually tough on the field, and it should be known that the Chinese Super League is China's top professional league.
In the first 4 rounds of the game, Zheng Zhi has not appeared, but only directed on the sidelines. Presumably seeing the team in difficult times, when the team has no one to change, Zheng Zhi is also itchy and unbearable, hoping that he can play to help the team fight for victory. But Zheng Zhi still chose to believe in these young players, hoping that they would grow up quickly through tempering.
In the first leg of the match with Beijing Guoan, although Guangzhou Evergrande had the advantage of the scene and the number of shots was more than guoan, it was too poor to grasp the ability of the front, wasted all the offensive opportunities, and finally guoan seized the opportunity to score a goal, 0-1 defeat. This is also the only defeat that Guangzhou Evergrande suffered in the second stage of the competition, facing the hebei team, Changchun Yatai and Shanghai SIPG, Guangzhou Evergrande achieved a record of 1 win and 2 draws, which is already very good for Evergrande in the all-China class.
In this game, Evergrande ushered in another confrontation with Guoan, and when the starting list came out, we saw the name of coach Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi did make his debut in the game, although he is already a player who is almost 42 years old, but he still plays well on the field. Although he has not played for a long time, he can still pick a beam in the midfield after playing, and has a good performance at both ends of the attack and defense, and it can be seen that Zheng Zhi usually does not relax his requirements for himself, which is why Zheng Zhi is almost 42 and can still play on the field.
In the 39th minute of the game, Zheng Zhi received Zhang Xiuwei's return pass near the middle circle, chose a precise straight plug without stopping the ball, broke through the Guoan backline, and found defender Deng Hanwen. After Deng Hanwen moved two steps sideways to find the shooting space, he resolutely raised his foot to shoot, and a powerful world wave hung directly on the dead corner of the Guoan goal, helping the team to score. In the end, Guangzhou Evergrande also relied on this goal to win 1-0 against Beijing Guoan.
We found that after Zheng Zhi went off, Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield had problems, and it began to weaken at both ends of the attack and defense. This also proves that the 41-year-old Zheng Zhi is still incomparable to many local players.
