On January 1, 2022, Beijing time, the 21st round of the Chinese Super League championship group competition continued, and Guangzhou ushered in the second leg of the competition with Changchun Yatai. In the first leg of the match, Changchun Yatai, who was a single foreign aid, was crushed by the Guangzhou team of the all-China class, and finally lost 0-2. Today, Changchun Yatai foreign aid returned, Okoro and Eric started, and Junior, who was the top scorer in the Chinese Super League, was on standby, and there was an air of revenge.
As for the Guangzhou team, not only did it not strengthen. Moreover, the main goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo and the defensive core Jiang Guangtai have left the division early after the end of the last round. Changchun Yatai, who faces 2+1 foreign aid, really lacks confidence, but we forget that Guangzhou team also has a head coach who is good at warming up. Just a short time ago, the starting list of this game was announced, and the name of Guangzhou coach Zheng Zhi was prominently listed.
Today's Guangzhou team's starting goalkeeper will be Liu Weiguo, defenders Zhang Linpeng, Deng Hanwen and Li Xuepeng, midfielders Zheng Zhi, Liao Lisheng, Yan Dinghao, Zhang Xiuwei and He Chao, and strikers Ling Jie and Yang Liyu. As far as this lineup is concerned, Guangzhou will line up a 3-5-2 formation today. However, looking at the 3 players in the Guangzhou team's defender line, Deng Hanwen and Li Xuepeng are standard full-backs, and only Zhang Linpeng is a player who can be sidelined. As a result, the Guangzhou team with 3 defenders is afraid to be broken by the opponent.
Looking back at the career of veteran Zheng Zhi, in addition to not being a goalkeeper, it seems that other positions on the field can be competent. So, is zheng zhi, a veteran, going to retire from his role as a central defender tonight? In other words, Zheng Zhi is already a 41-year-old veteran player after all, and his role as a central defender is not only a big loss for the Guangzhou midfield, but also likely to be overtaken by the opponent because of slow movement, or a low-level mistake to send points. So, does Guangzhou really have to play 3 defenders?
Personally, I think that in this game, Guangzhou team will most likely play 4 defenders, but it is not the captain Zheng Zhi who has withdrawn the position, but the young defensive midfielder He Chao. It is said that although He Chao is known as Zheng Zhi's successor, in fact he prefers a sapper-type midfielder. His interception and stealing role in midfield is far greater than that of organizing offense. Therefore, if Zheng Zhi puts He Chao in the position of center back in this game, everyone should not be surprised. After all, the current special treatment depends on the situation, maybe there are unexpected surprises to put He Chao on the center-back?
Of course, in this game, in addition to the positioning of Zheng Zhi and He Chao on the field, 18-year-old Ling Jie on the front line is also a major attraction. He has scored the first goal of the Chinese Super League in the last game, and whether he can play again is worth the attention of fans. In addition to Ling Jie, a large number of young players such as Tan Kaiyuan, Wang Shilong, Hou Yu, Yang Dejiang, Li Xingxian and so on on the bench are also the focus of attention of Guangzhou fans. The game will start soon, let's look forward to the performance of the Guangzhou team!
