At present, Shandong Taishan, Guangzhou, Shanghai Harbor and Changchun Yatai have locked the top four places in the Chinese Super League. The rest is the 2-4 place battle, that is, the AFC Champions League qualification battle. In fact, in terms of the situation in the past two years: how much difference is there between a direct promotion place and a play-off place? The teams' desire for the AFC Champions League has long been worse than ever.
In the 19th minute of the game, Zheng Zhi sent a top ball, Yang Liyu's shot was blocked, and Yan Dinghao made up for the shot on the post.
In the 48th minute, Yang ultrasonically passed the goalkeeper and the shot was deflected.
In the 72nd minute, 18-year-old Ling Jie broke the deadlock on the field.
In the 82nd minute, Tan Kaiyuan scored.
After that, the two teams attacked and defended each other, but neither scored again. 2-0, Guangzhou beat Changchun Yatai, double-matching opponents this season.
After beating Yatai, Guangzhou's points reached 44 points, and Yatai's was 38 points. With one round left in the league, Guangzhou locked in the top three of the league, followed by a battle with The Harbor for second place. In fact, if the Guangzhou team has not changed, they should be the biggest opponents on the road to Shandong Taishan's championship.
In this battle, Zheng Zhi, as the manager, once again launched the battle. Compared with the calm and "non-verbal" when he was a coach, the temper of the player Zheng Zhi is still fiery and abnormal. In the 18th minute of the game, Zheng Zhi had a fierce quarrel with the opposite captain Sun Jie. This is also in line with Zheng Zhi's consistent style. According to the latest news, Zheng Zhi will enter Li Xiaopeng's national team. I don't know, this time as a player, a member of the coaching staff, or both.
