At 15:30 beijing time on January 8, the first leg of the Chinese Super League relegation play-off began, and as a result, Qingdao was killed by Zhejiang 1-0, losing the initiative to rush over. Judging from the data after the game, Qingdao team only had 1 shot on goal, 0 shots on target, and the possession rate was 49%. In contrast, the Zhejiang team, 8 shots on goal and 1 shot on target. It can be seen that the Qingdao team has stepped into the middle division with one foot. Think of the Qingdao team two years ago, which was still called "Qingdao Qinggang", its ambition can be seen, and today's scene is like the scene in the Water Margin legend of Wu Yong returning to Liangshan with Song Jiang's ashes.
Let's take a look at the game process, in the 4th minute after the start of the game, Zhejiang launched a relatively high-quality threat attack, when Gaudí's header from inside the penalty area was attacked, and the ball was high above the crossbar.
In the 17th minute, a Zhejiang free kick was driven to the goal, and Liu Jian destroyed it in advance. In the 24th minute, Matthews Sneder cut his foot and fired a long-range shot that deflected off the line. In the 30th minute, Andreasevic scored in front of the goal to give Zhejiang a 1-0 lead.
The goal was the only goal in the game, but Zhejiang also had a few great chances in the second half, and they had the opportunity to kill the game completely, but unfortunately. For example, at the beginning of the second half, The opening two consecutive strikes of Zhejiang were extremely threatening, and Matthews missed a good opportunity.
Just before the start of this game, qingdao's lineup was ridiculed by the players. The reason is because of a group photo before the game, Qingdao team new signing Badu, originally his figure is very short, like Wu Dalang, the result is also standing behind the C position, giving people the feeling of being as funny as the front players carrying him. Bardu, a player who moved to Qingdao from Serie A side Verona, has made five appearances for Qingdao as a midfielder, including three starts and no goals.
In this game, Qingdao also set two major humiliating records. First, qingdao team in the history of playing against Zhejiang team, the current total record is 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, Qingdao team since the 2018 season, maintained the unbeaten record of 2 wins and 1 draw against Zhejiang team, but because of this game, this record was broken; second, Qingdao team in the 2021 season, has reached 6 winless games, the record is 5 losses and 1 draw. Of course, this has not broken the record set by the Qingdao team itself for "losing 9 consecutive rounds".
Although the Zhejiang team won this game, the Qingdao team was not useless in the game, and in a certain period of time, the Qingdao team still occupied a great advantage in the offensive scene. It is regrettable that the absence of the main forward of the Zhejiang team, who has been promoted to the golden boot of the Chinese first division, has a great impact on the strength of the Zhejiang team. Therefore, the final round of the game still has a certain uncertainty.
