Reporter Lu Mi reported Who would have thought that after two rounds of the Chinese Super League in the new season, the top three teams in last season did not win a single victory, and the highest ranking among the three teams was only the bottom 5. As the defending champions, Wuhan Three Towns easily won the Super Cup, but suffered an injury in the first round of the league. In the first round against Shanghai Port, the three towns suddenly lost the three main players of Deng Hanwen, Aziz and Wallace. In the second round, facing a strong return of Beijing Guoan, the three towns only came off the bench in the final moments to tie the score.
Last season, the Three Towns suffered their first defeat in the 17th round, and this season, they are still waiting for their first win of the season. Sanzhen, who is both the defending champion and a second-year student in the Chinese Super League, must grow up as soon as possible and become a real strong team.
Wuhan Three Towns' first appearance of the new season is the Super Cup in early April, and theoretically they should enter the game earlier than the rest of the Chinese Super League. In that game, from the introduction of personnel to the technical and tactical coordination, the outside world saw the effect of their winter training, and the team really divided the victory and defeat with the Taishan team.
At that moment, the strength of the new season of Three Towns has been initially revealed. After the Super Cup, the Chinese Super League schedule was released, and the team faced Shanghai Port and Beijing Guoan in succession. The two teams are strong, especially Beijing Guoan, which has regained the potential to compete for the title after a strong recruitment in the new season. It is also doomed that the league in Three Towns will not start easily.
Although the team was mentally prepared to deal with difficulties, no one expected that the team would lose three big players in the first round. The team lost core players at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, which was really unlucky. This also led to Edmilson having to speed up the pace of recovery.
Before the second round against Guoan, Wallace had also begun training with the team, but Pedro did not let him and Edmilson start in order to fully recover the players. Trailing by one goal for most of the time, Edmilson came off the bench to score the winner. Three towns narrowly picked up their first point of the new season and avoided a two-game losing streak.
According to the data of the two rounds of the league, the team had a total of 26 shots on goal in two games, including 8 shots on target, 21 key passes, and 8 players involved in shooting. Such statistics can be ranked at the top of the Chinese Super League, but only one goal has been scored. It can be seen that the Super Cup and the match against the Harbour team in the first round are very draining for the team.
But even so, the strength of the team itself and the results of the winter training can still be presented through the game process. Whether it was the two Super Cup goals or the goal that Edmilson equalized for the team, it shows that the quality of the team's pass and catch cooperation between the three lines has been greatly improved compared to the past. This is characteristic of the three towns. But the important thing is that there is a lot of such cooperation, the three towns need a fulcrum up front to complete the task of scoring, Malcom left, Aziz was injured in the first round, and in the short term this task will fall to Edmilson.
In this case, domestic players need to deliver consistent performances. In the first two rounds, Xie Pengfei, Wei Shihao and other frontcourt players failed to score. The reason why Wuhan Three Towns was able to win the championship last season, in addition to the outstanding performance of foreign aid, the blossoming of domestic players is also an absolute guarantee for the team to win the championship. For a brand new team to complete its growth into a strong team, it must not only rely on super foreign assistance, but more should be the expression of stable local strength. In addition, all the people in the three towns need a stronger mentality and a calmer combat mentality.
For the three towns, difficulties continue in the new week. In two consecutive away games, they faced Meizhou Hakka and promoted horse Qingdao Manatee, with only four days between the two matches. None of the opponents have yet to win, so the outside world is very optimistic that the three towns can get their first win of the season in the new week. However, the three towns should still be prepared to deal with difficulties, after all, from the first two rounds, this year's league has no absolute weak teams.
