Vying asia wants to win the championship even more, and the dilemma seaport adapts

Reporter Cheng Shan reported that there is still the last round of the Chinese Super League this season, and after the league championship has a home early, the "runner-up battle" between the old rival Harbor and Guangzhou has become the biggest attraction of the championship group. The game that used to be called the Tianwangshan showdown has little significance for the direction of the entire league, and for the harbor, they also want to win the FA Cup - in the case of injury, how to ensure that the team will not only win the league runner-up, but also retain the strength to compete with Tarzan in the FA Cup, which is what head coach Leco must coordinate.

Without winning Tarzan, Ryco was disappointed

On the first day of 2022, Harbor and Tarzan show off. Since Tarzan has already won the Chinese Super League championship, they have rotated most of the main players; in the harbor, Lecco also let the two foreign assistants oscar and Mui sit on the bench, and the team lined up for the first time this season to start the all-Chinese class. However, after conceding the goal, Lecco still arranged for the two to play, and they also changed the course of the game.

After the game, Lecco explained, "This arrangement is because the status of the two does not meet the requirements of the starting point. The interpretation of the outside world believes that the harbor has suffered an injury attack, and the available main players are not enough, but they do not want to lose to Tarzan and are caught in a dilemma.

Only 8 minutes after the opening, The Harbor conceded the ball, Liu Yang and Duan Liu Yu played a wonderful combination, breaking through the defensive formation of the Harbor Four, and Duan Liu Yu pushed the shot. In the 63rd minute, 3 minutes after Sun Junhao's shot was saved, Leco immediately made adjustments, in addition to Hu Jinghang, Oscar, Moi, Lu Wenjun three main players also played together, and not long after the substitution, Harbor goals came consecutively, scoring two goals in 7 minutes, turning the score back to 2-1. If it weren't for Tarzan's penalty in the final stages, Harbor would probably have scored three points.

However, even if it is three points, the practical significance is not great. According to the AFC AFC Champions League quota allocation plan, the number of places for Chinese Super League teams this year is 3+1. Since Taishan and Haigang both entered the final of the FA Cup, no matter who won the runner-up in Guangzhou or Haigang, the three teams will directly advance to the main tournament, while Yatai will play the play-offs.

However, if we win, it is psychologically suggestive for the upcoming FA Cup final, "Every game, we definitely want to win, and we are fully prepared for victory." Lecco said he even revealed that he wanted to win even if he was playing games with his daughter at home, "That last-minute goal conceded, which led to our eventual equalization, was a bit disappointing." ”

However, for Tarzan to win the championship, Ryco was convinced, "Tarzan is unattainable, they entered the championship group with a 5-point advantage, and in the first game, they defeated us. I must admit that Tarzan are the best in the league, they have 5 great foreign players, they play quite well, so it is difficult to lose the title. In an interview with Croatia's Zaobao, Lecco said.

Foreign aid injuries affect the game

Before the final battle of the championship group, Taishan has been determined to be ranked first, Yatai is fourth, Guangzhou team and harbor final round match, Guangzhou team if undefeated will win the second place, and if you want to win second place, you must win. Even if the strength of the Guangzhou team is no longer what it used to be, its overall strength should not be underestimated.

In the final battle, Harbor does not want to end the Chinese Super League season with a loss, and at the same time, it is also necessary to be fully prepared for the upcoming FA Cup showdown, of course, the most important thing is not to have more injuries, especially the main players.

Harbor's luck this season is really a bit "back", before the start of the league a series of recruitment, but the season has not yet begun, the newly signed foreign defender Mystrovic has a ligament rupture, and later recovered and was injured again, not playing a game; after the first stage of the game, Oscar fractured, fortunately after intermittent treatment, caught up with the later games; Lopez was not so lucky, in September, he had a torn front cruciate ligament in his right knee, and the season was reimbursed Paulinho, who was imported from Hebei in the summer window, fractured his right scapula bone after playing the game against the deep foot, and the season reimbursement is not to say, the next FA Cup final, is also a question; as for Mui, although he was not injured, he represented Australia in the round of 12, missed the last few games in the first stage, if it were not for the club's request that he not participate in the round of 12 in November, the second stage may also be affected.

'We had a lot of problems, in fact, we only had two foreign players at one point, so I don't have any complaints about everyone's performance, and now, Harbour is fighting for the league runner-up, in addition, there is the FA Cup final, we have to work hard. Lecco said.

The constant injury of foreign aid is bad news, and the good news is that new people are growing. Leco boldly used young players, and they also handed over a good case file, Liu Zhurun, Abraham, Li Shenyuan, etc. have had eye-catching performances in many games, but the problem of newcomers is that they are not stable enough, and their own strength can not be alone.

Is there any hope for Paulinho?

Against Guangzhou, the problem Leco faced was how to line up a squad that could both compete with opponents and take into account rotation in the presence of existing personnel.

"How to arrange the FA Cup and the Chinese Super League is a topic that we have been considering and discussing." As head coach, Lecco knows that there is no solution that can be done once and for all. In fact, he has never supported rotation, or retaining strength in some games, "I want the team to play every game with all my strength." "But now, after the End of the Chinese Super League, there is still an FA Cup final to play, and for me, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation." ”

The outside world speculates that against the Guangzhou team, the harbor will most likely continue the previous platoon plan, according to the trend on the field, give some of the main players a rest time, and do not play the whole field. In a dilemma, Lecco can only weigh against the changes in the game.

It is worth mentioning that Paulinho, who returned to Shanghai for the treatment of scaphoid fractures, will undergo another MRI examination this week, although it will not be able to catch up with the match with Guangzhou, but the club still has a glimmer of expectations for Paulinho to go to Chengdu with the team to participate in the FA Cup final. If the results of the examination show that the recovery is in good condition, the possibility of Paulinho coming with special protective gear is not ruled out; if the condition is not good, he will not go with the team to Chengdu.
