Reporter Wang Wei reported that the Shenzhen team, which entered the championship group, accumulated 32 points with 9 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in the 22 rounds of the league throughout the season, and finally ranked sixth in the Chinese Super League. Playing in the championship group proves that the overall strength of the Shenzhen team has been improved, and finally failed to complete the goal of rushing into the top four, but also let people see the instability of the team, if you want to continue to improve the ranking in the new season, you need to further enhance the temperament of the strong, so that the team continues to develop steadily.
The second stage of the state slipped, and the rush four failed
The 2021 season of the Chinese Super League was divided into two stages, in the first stage of the 14 rounds of competition in Guangzhou, Shenzu finally won the third place in Guangzhou with 7 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, and successfully entered the championship group competition, carlos, who took over the coaching position of the team in the middle, got 4 wins and 1 draw after taking over the team coaching position, which played a key role in Shenzhen's entry into the championship group.
The relevant person in charge of the deep foot said that in the first stage of the league, the 2-2 draw finally won the 2021 season double champion Shandong Taishan, 2-1 victory over Guangzhou, reflecting the spirit of the deep foot general's tenacious struggle.
In the match against Shandong Taishan, Shenzhen team conceded the goal first, and then the young player Dai Weijun equalized the score, and then Shandong team led again, and in the second half Dai Weijun scored twice to equalize the score again, "This game fully reflects the spirit of the deep foot soldiers to fight to the end and face the strong team, Dai Weijun is in a very good state in that game." ”
The match against Guangzhou was a full-fledged Greater Bay Area derby. In that game, deep foot captain Gao Lin played at a very high level against the old master, and finally deep foot won 2-1 against Guangzhou with goals from Zheng Dalun and Gao Lin. It can be said that the match against Guangzhou is the most beautiful game played by Shenzu in the whole season, and it is also the first time that Shenzu has defeated Guangzhou in the Chinese Super League, which also shows that Shenzu has the strength to compete with strong teams and is moving towards a real strong team.
It was because of the excellent performance of the deep foot in the first stage that he qualified for the championship group competition. After taking over the team in the first stage, Spanish head coach Carlos continued to strengthen the way of playing pass-and-control football, while emphasizing the aggressive playing style of set-pieces and the frontcourt, the tactical thinking of the deep foot is in line with the modern concept of football development, and the results of the first stage of the league also allowed the deep foot to advance to the top eight of the league, obtaining the best result in the league in 17 years.
Due to a four-month hiatus between the second and first stage matches, the team's form was unstable during this interval. In the FA Cup, Shenzu reached the quarterfinals, and then lost to Shanghai Shenhua in the quarter-finals, missing the final four of the FA Cup. In the Changchun division of the FA Cup, Gao Lin suddenly suffered from appendicitis and had to return to Shenzhen for surgery, although Gao Lin made a comeback before the start of the championship group, but because of the impact of injury, he did not enter the best state, and the performance of Shenzu in the championship group was not good, and it also had a lot to do with the captain's physical recovery.
In the 8 matches of the championship group, Shenzu achieved a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, including two losses to Shanghai Haigang, and 1 draw and 1 loss with Beijing Guoan and Changchun Yatai, which made Shenzu lose hope of reaching the top four of the Chinese Super League. Of course, the opponents faced by the championship group are obviously stronger than the opponents in the first stage of the league, which is also one of the reasons for the mediocre performance of the deep foot, but when facing the direct opponents of the top four in the competition, Changchun Yatai and Beijing Guoan, the deep foot did not fully show its own characteristics, which also shows that the deep foot must strengthen the ability to fight hard battles.
After losing again to Shanghai Harbour in a 1-3 score, then-deep football coach Carlos said: "This game allows us to see the gap between the strong teams and the teams that are moving towards the strong teams. To be a stronger team, we need to be more efficient in both penalty areas, when attacking, we need to convert opportunities into goals, and defensive ends in our own penalty areas to reduce points conceded. ”
Not integrated into the team, Quintero wanted to escape
From the 2020 season to the 2021 season, Shenzhen team completed the optimization of the internal and external support lineup in two years, making the team structure younger, introducing Caldek, Achimpen and Wakaso in a free-form manner at the beginning of the 2021 season, and introducing Colombian international Quintero and domestic outstanding center-back Yuan Mincheng at both ends of the attack and defense.
At the end of the 2021 season, Shenzhen foreign aid Kaldek and Quintero ranked second in the top scorer list and assist list respectively, and performed well in the chinese Super League foreign aid data ranking.
Through the first stage of the 2021 season and the performance in the Chinese professional league, Kaldek was recognized by the national football team, and received a notice to start naturalization procedures, however, as the national football team's chances of qualifying in the round of 12 were reduced, the possibility of Caldek's naturalization became smaller and smaller, and even stagnated, but as a foreign aid, Kaldek showed a very strong fighting spirit and sense of belonging in the deep foot, and before the final round of the championship group against Beijing Guoan, Kaldek diarrhea appeared. But he still insisted on arriving with the team, and although he could not play in the end, he accompanied the team to the end.
Achimpen is the most diligent foreign aid introduced by Deep Foot. Achimpen is home to deep feet, both off the field and on the field, very responsible, throughout the season 5 goals, 1 assist also reflect his strength. In the overall tactics of the deep foot, the way of playing on the wing is rare, so the good play of Achimpen's thousand-mile single-rider counterattack that was staged in Tianjin rarely appears. It should be said that Achimpen has not yet given full play to his speed characteristics in the deep tactical system, no matter who will be the team coach next season, how to make Achimpen's characteristics more fully exerted is an important issue.
After the end of the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League, The Colombian international Quintero, who was introduced by The Deep Foot at the beginning of the season, returned to Colombia, and in an interview with Colombia, Quintero expressed the idea of returning to the South American league to play. Judging from the density of matches in the Chinese Super League and the long interval period, any foreign aid is facing a situation that cannot be adapted, especially a Colombian national team player like Quintero, who is facing the status quo of being recruited back to china to compete and return to China for a long period of isolation, from his actual situation, it is normal to move his mind to return to the South American League, but Quintero still shows enough respect for the Chinese Super League, "In the Chinese Super League, every three days to play a game, the recovery time is very short." The Chinese league is difficult, don't think it's easy to play there, because they are all players with skills and bodies. Quintero said.
As can be seen from Quintero's performance in deep foot in the 2021 season, he has been affected by the long league break and the national team call-up. Although Quintero handed over 1 goal and 7 assists season data, from the perspective of the integration of the tactical system, he has not really integrated into the tactical system of deep foot, far from the expectations of the "leader of the deep foot tactical system", from this point of view, if Quitterro leaves the team, in fact, it will not have much impact on the future of deep foot.
Quintero has recently made it clear that he hopes to return to his old club River Plate to play, but he still has a two-year contract with Deep Foot, and if Quintero's decision is made, then his agent, River Plate and Deep Foot will have to negotiate.
The defense was seriously reduced, and the coach was changed after the season
The first stage of the league performed well, and after entering the championship group, the state declined, and Shenzhen's 2021 season experienced multiple tests.
In the first stage of the league, several young players played well, such as Dai Weijun and Zhang Yuan became the midfielders, Ye Lijiang got a good exercise, especially Dai Weijun, who played very well in many key games, and after the end of the 2021 season, Dai Weijun was selected for the national team for the first time.
In this year's league, Shenzhen team encountered serious attrition in the first stage, which is also an important reason for the difficulties encountered by Shenzu on the defensive end this season.
The Iranian centre-back Praliganji, who joined Shenzu in the middle of the 2020 season, suffered a serious injury in the 2021 league season and had to leave the Chinese Super League early for surgical treatment, which also left Shenzu to have one less core player in the center-back line. In the follow-up matches, Shenzu had to use U23 player Zhou Xin as the starter, and even the back Pei Shuai also made a cameo at center-back in the final stage. After the 2021 season, the deep foot must make reinforcements in the center-back line to maintain stability on the defensive end.
In addition to the severe attrition of the centre-back position, The Deep Foot was forced to change the coach in the middle of the league. After the fifth round of the 2021 season, Cruyff Jr. returned to work for Barcelona in Spain, choosing Spanish coach Carlos, who had coached in Chengdu Rongcheng, to take over the coaching position.
Carlos's coaching style is different from Cruyff Jr.'s, which also allows Shenzu to adjust the team's technical tactics during the season. Carlos started with 4 wins and 1 draw, and then fell into a three-game losing streak, which also made Shenzu up and down in the championship group competition, and finally lost the opportunity to reach the top four of the Central Super League. On December 31, 2021, Carlos left after the end of his contract with the club, and Zhang Xiaorui became the acting head coach of the team, directing the team's last two rounds of the league.
The 2021 season has all come to an end, and the deep football players have also entered the sabbatical stage, and then the club will invite a coach who can both strictly govern the army and conform to the deep foot tactical system to take charge of the coaching seal.
