Zhejiang players know their opponents very well
In the post-match dressing room, Jody had already set his sights on the second leg, telling the players, "All we've played is the 'first half' and there are still 90 minutes of hard 90 minutes waiting for us in the second half, so we must be prepared." Now is not the time to rejoice and celebrate, everyone should stay calm, recover well, and strive to win the next round. ”
Before the first leg of the game, Jody posed a winning posture, "Whether it can complete the goal of the whole season well, this game is decisive." We have the ability to directly rush to the overtake, but in the end it was a point difference, this time we are facing the Chinese Super League team, the strength of the opponent is very strong. We will face them in the best form and winning the last few games of the fourth stage of the league has given us a lot of confidence and we will try our best to win. ”
In fact, in the game, in addition to Frank's goal, Zhejiang also created several opportunities, and the absolute threat was more than Qingdao.
From the game point of view, the players are very familiar with the characteristics of the opponent, it is reported that when the play-off opponent is determined to be Qingdao team, the coaching team to the players to watch the edited Qingdao team game video, in view of the Qingdao team's more tough playing style, Jody targeted to send the same tough players, such as Zhong Haoran, etc., in addition, at the end of the league because of injury many games of substitute Yue Xin, also reappeared in the starting lineup.
The Zhejiang team, which was in good shape, occupied the initiative on the field after the start of the game, and the Qingdao team could only frequently use fouls to sabotage the attack of the Zhejiang team, and once the Qingdao team attacked, the Zhejiang team played a defensive counterattack. Since there was only one foreign aid in the Starting Lineup of Qingdao Team, Badu seriously affected the attacking power of Qingdao Team. In the 30th minute, Zhejiang's Matthews, Gaudí and Frank formed a combination, Frank scored a goal, and Zhejiang took the lead.
Frank was in excellent form in the late middle division, becoming the "thigh" of the team, and wore the captain's armband in this game. Five minutes before the finale, Mushekwi came on as a substitute to find the feel for the second leg.
In fact, Mushekwe played in a closed game, and after playing, he used his impact to put great pressure on Qingdao and helped the team maintain a 1-0 score until the end.
The bad news for the Zhejiang team is that Matthews injured his ankle and will be treated next. Frank is getting better and better, how to arrange the foreign aid combination in the second leg, Jody has to make the final decision according to the physical condition and state of the foreign aid.
The second round should be strictly guarded against "duck pear"
In the first leg of the match, Qingdao only played one foreign aid from Badu, Alessandrini (Yali) and Vukovic did not play, and in the second leg, they may play.
"These two foreign players from Qingdao are very strong, and we are ready for their second leg. In particular, Alessandrini, his attack is very strong, once he appears on the pitch, it is the main attack point of qingdao team, we will make targeted arrangements for him. A staff member of the Zhejiang team said.
Goalkeeper Gu Chao, who performed well in the first leg, said that the second leg game was definitely more difficult to play, "Qingdao team lost in the first leg, they can only relegate with more goals, so they will definitely focus on attack, which will pose a threat to our backline." The two foreign aides they did not play were very strong, and once they played in the second leg, the strength of the Qingdao team will definitely strengthen, and we must concentrate 200% of our energy to meet this game. ”
Two foreign aides and a race against time
After the 1-0 win, the players of the Zhejiang team did not have time to celebrate, and after 4 days, the more crucial second leg was coming, and the coaching team and the players summed up the first leg of the game together.
"In this game, our two teams are equal in strength and everyone played this game with high intensity. In the first half, we had a relatively high possession rate, kicked out of our own level, scored a goal, but also wasted some scoring opportunities. Qingdao had more counterattacks in the second half, which was something we needed to pay attention to in the second leg. Jody said, adding: "It was a 180-minute game, 'first half' we were one goal ahead of the opponent and 'second half' to prepare for, we had to go all out to play. ”
Next, the Zhejiang team will prepare for the second leg at a daily training rhythm, after all, the two rounds are relatively close, the coaching staff will not give the players a lot, Mushekwi and Matthews, two injured players will follow the rehabilitation division to recover, they have to race against time, trying to catch up with the second leg.
