Yesterday afternoon, the Guangzhou team, which was training at the Guangzhou Panyu Football Base, had a warm-up match with the Chinese Super League promotion team Zhejiang, and finally lost 1-4 to the opponent, suffering the first defeat in recent times. It is worth mentioning that Wei Shihao, Zhang Xiuwei, Yan Dinghao and other main players made a collective appearance in the second half, which seems to indicate that some kind of turnaround for the Guangzhou team is coming!
Previously, Guangzhou had won three consecutive wins in a series of warm-up matches, but they were all against teams from the Central A and the Chinese Second Division, with a 2-1 victory over Hebei Kung Fu, a 2-1 victory over Dandong Tengyue, and a 4-1 victory over Guangxi Pingguo Hagao. Obviously, the previous team is really just "warming up", and the next few Chinese Super League teams are used by Guangzhou to hone the lineup.
Unfortunately, Guangzhou, which started with young players, eventually lost to Zhejiang 1-4. Although wei shihao and other main players appeared collectively in the second half, the long suspension made them temporarily unable to find the feeling of the game.
In fact, the score is really not important, what is important is that Wei Shihao has appeared, in my opinion, this is definitely a very "exciting" news. With Wei Shihao's ability, he can definitely play the main force in any Chinese Super League team, and now he is still in Guangzhou, indicating that Guangzhou team has indeed ushered in a turnaround, otherwise it is impossible to explain the current situation.
Why the Guangzhou team had to keep Wei Shihao, Zhang Xiuwei, Yan Dinghao and other main players, in addition to the consideration of preserving the strength of the team, is also showing goodwill to Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi put forward his own requirements for staying in the team very early, that is, Guangzhou must retain a "central axis", that is, at least one main player must be seated at the defender, midfielder and forward.
With the appearance of Wei Shihao, Zhang Xiuwei and Yan Dinghao, plus Wu Shaocong will return to the team after the quarantine period, then it means that Zheng Zhi's request has been met, so the possibility of Zheng Zhi staying in the team is also increasing, which is indeed a good thing worthy of the expectations of the majority of fans.
