Not being able to defeat The new Chinese Super League champion Shandong Taishan in a reversible way certainly made Shanghai Haigang feel some regret and disappointment.
However, the Harbor team did not only get one point in this game, but also gained a good forward - Hu Jinghang. Coming off the bench, he almost helped the team complete the reversal with a goal and an assist. It can be said that in the recent weak front line of the harbor team, Hu Jinghang has become a rare bright spot.
"I feel like my own performance in this game is OK." In an interview after the game, Hu Jinghang said, "The coach gave me the opportunity to play in both games. If I can go up, I will do my best to help the team. There are two games left, a league game and an FA Cup, and we have to fight well. Especially in the FA Cup final for the fans to dedicate a wonderful game. ”
Last year, when the three major foreign forwards Hulk, Arnautovic and López were all in the Harbor team, Hu Jinghang was ranked behind Lu Wenjun and Li Shenglong in the forward line. As a result, Hu Jinghang was loaned to Wuhan last season and made 17 appearances as a U23 player, including 13 starts, contributing 4 goals. But being able to play more games in the Chinese Super League is always a very valuable exercise opportunity for Hu Jinghang.
After returning to the Harbor team, Hu Jinghang's real play in the first team began with the FA Cup, and then the second stage of the Chinese Super League championship group, which is currently underway. One of the important reasons is that the team's foreign forwards have walked and injured, and the veteran Lu Wenjun has been fixed in the position of the main left wingback after Lecco took charge. Today's Harbor team, the only legitimate forwards in the squad are Li Shenglong, Hu Jinghang and liu Zhurun, three local players.
The opportunities to play gradually increased, the time of the game gradually increased, and Hu Jinghang really let head coach Lecco and the fans see something different from the past.
In Leco's words, Hu Jinghang changed and grew.
'He's a very promising Chinese player and he didn't have many opportunities to play before, so I think he should think about what the reasons are for himself.' Obviously, in the first half of this year, Lyco was not satisfied with Hu Jinghang.
Today, Leco said happily after the game, "In recent weeks, I have found that he is aware of his previous problems and has performed very well in training. I saw the level of effort and demonstration he put in training and it made me very happy. Today's game, he also showed his due level. ”
Of course, Hu Jinghang's ability to reverse the tide of battle after coming on the bench is also related to the opponent Taishan's lack of war spirit, and the defense is far from the spirit of the decisive battle, which is red and the land must be fought. As Shandong Taishan coach Hao Wei said after the game, "This ball was originally meant to prevent injuries, and winning or losing is actually not important to us." ”
But for Hu Jinghang, after all, he received the first goal and the first assist of this year's Chinese Super League, which helped to enhance his confidence and morale.
It is also good news for the Harbor team, when head coach Lecco plays Shandong Taishan in the FA Cup final, the forward line personnel arrangement can also have a good choice.
In addition, The Harbour foreign aid Mui, who scored four goals in 7 games in the Chinese Super League championship stage, continued to recover steadily. Following the win over Guangzhou City in the last round, Moi scored twice, and today's goal that he instigated and ended himself was just as wonderful.
If the Australian international can find his best form, it will be a major positive for Seaport to play in the FA Cup final.
