On January 9, Beijing time, the final of the FA Cup will kick off at the professional football stadium of Chengdu Phoenix Mountain Sports Park. At present, the two sides have arrived at the matching ground to prepare for the match. It is still customary for Shanghai Harbor to release a pre-match poster today, and today's harbor poster is set against the backdrop of the Great Wall, the head coach beats the drum to cheer, and 3 players struggle to climb to the FA Cup championship trophy. And with the "perseverance and courage" 5 big words, in order to motivate morale to show the determination to win the championship.
The 5 characters of "perseverance and courage" are from the hand of Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. This sentence is excerpted from Qi Jiguang's "Record of Military Training", and the complete sentence is: "Perseverance and courage are called gang." Just, the virtue of the living man also". It means: strong will and courage to act (to do), which is strong. Strong is the character of man. It is a more inspirational maxim, and now the Shanghai harbor borrowed as the theme of the poster, I believe it is also to inspire morale, and take down Shandong Taishan with a drum.
What people don't understand is that it is not known why the harbor uses the Great Wall as a poster background, and it is also a process of climbing upwards. Recall that before the 6-point battle between the Chinese Super League and Shandong Taishan, the poster of the harbor "crossing the mountain" was considered by fans to be not "auspicious". At the time, the harbor players were riding roller coasters, ready to cross the mountain. However, in that game, Shanghai Harbor was crushed by Shandong Taishan, and even the chance to shoot was few. After the game, the poster also became the object of "ridicule" by fans.
Now, before the FA Cup final, Shanghai Harbor has to issue similar posters to make people worry that they will lose another crown in the first battle on January 9. After all, the Great Wall, as a fortification against foreign enemies, has always been known for being indestructible. Today, the Shanghai seaport compares Shandong Taishan to the "Great Wall", and I am afraid that it is less fierce. Of course, maybe the designer of the Shanghai seaport didn't think so much, he may just want to borrow the shape of the city wall battlements on the FA Cup, just like the last time he took a roller coaster across Mount Tai.
Leaving aside this poster, for the FA Cup championship trophy, both Shanghai Harbor and Shandong Taishan are eyeing the tiger. Shanghai Harbour needs this FA Cup to bring this season to a successful conclusion. Veteran players such as Wang Shenchao and Lu Wenjun also need this FA Cup championship trophy to complete the Grand Slam. In shandong Taishan, after having won the Chinese Super League championship, the title of double champion will make them a unique team in the history of the Chinese Super League: 3 double titles. (Guangzhou Evergrande and Dalian Wanda are both 2 double winners)
However, in general, the overall strength of Shandong Taishan is higher than that of Shanghai Seaport. Because, the current midfielder paulinho of Shanghai Harbor retired injured and will not qualify for the FA Cup final. With oscar left with a single core, Shandong Taishan only needs to send someone to lock it up, and the game will be won by more than half. Just like the 6-point battle in the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan did a good job. Of course, football is round, and Shanghai Harbor is not without a chance to win the game. On January 9 at 19:30, let's wait and see.
