On January 1, 2022, the 21st round of the Chinese Super League began, Shandong Taishan, who had won the championship in advance, faced the same powerful Shanghai Harbor, in the case of a 1-goal lead, Taishan was chased by the opponent twice, but at the last moment, Moises stepped forward to create Wang Shenchao's red dot package, and completed the second-reading kill, and finally the two sides shook hands and made peace 2-2. In this campaign, U23 player Duan Liu Yu started the game and scored the first goal of the 2022 Chinese Super League for Taishan, and his performance was very good.
This season, due to the loss of Pele, the little giant Guo Tianyu became the team's regular U23 starter, while Duan Liuyu, who had been hot in the previous two seasons, made a significant reduction in the number of appearances. Before this game, he had only played 14 games in the Chinese Super League, and only 4 starts, but even so, Xiao Duan also scored 2 goals and 1 assist, and the offensive efficiency was still very good. In this game against the harbor, the Taishan team rotated sharply, and Duan Liu Yu started consecutive games and appeared in the front waist position.
Taishan's start was smooth, in the 7th minute, Duan Liu Yu instigated the attack, he and Liu Yang still played a wonderful two-on-one match in the face of the siege of the 5 players of the Harbor Team, and entered the penalty area to complete the goal. This goal, harbor's large number of defenders did not even touch the ball. And Duan Liu Yu from passing to Liu Yang to receiving the ball in the penalty area, passing through to shooting with his feet can be described as a one-shot, and his excellent foot skills are impressive.
In this campaign, the small section was replaced by Guo Tianyu in the second half, in the 70 minutes of playing time, he scored 1 goal with 1 shot and 1 goal, sent 1 key pass, and the pass success rate was as high as 100%, and the performance was still remarkable. After the game, the goal hero said that as long as there is a chance to play, he will fight every minute to contribute to the team, and for his own goal, Xiao Duan modestly attributed the credit to everyone's efforts.
In fact, there are many reasons why Duan Liu Yu has been able to become the main U23 player of the Taishan team in the past two seasons. First of all, his basic skills are very solid, and he can still hold the ball firmly in the face of high-intensity pressing in the game, which is exactly what local players lack the most. They tend to show a high level in training, but they can't fully play in the game.
Secondly, the reason why Duan Liu Yu was able to squeeze naturalized player Delgado onto the bench in the 2019 season is that in addition to his excellent personal ability, his diligence is also quite important. Li Xiaopeng, the coach of the Taishan team at the time, was a strict coach, and Duan Liu Yu was exactly a player who was willing to pay 100% on the court, from the first minute of the game to before the end, he was desperately running, intercepting, although the body was not strong, but with the spirit of hard work touched every Taishan team fan.
In addition, it is also the most important point, as a bully of Shenzhen Cuiyuan Middle School, Duan Liuyu's biggest advantage is his ball intelligence and emotional intelligence. Ball quotient allows him to have a strong ability to read games, while emotional intelligence allows him to maintain a peaceful mind when encountering difficulties. In fact, from the first two seasons of the U23 main force to this season to become a substitute, it is still a big blow for a young player. But Duan Liuyu still maintains a peaceful state of mind, which is still very rare.
Moises has only half a year left on his contract, and even if he is renewed, he is still a 33-year-old veteran after all. In this case, the Taishan team also urgently needs to find a successor to Lao Mo, and Duan Liu Yu is the best candidate at the moment. He can play as a full-back, he can play at the front, and the two forwards are the positions he does best. Next season, Duan Liu Yu is no longer a U23 player, but he still deserves a main position.
