Muzi Guanhudou|To be fair to the new marshal of Guoan: it is true that it can't kick the harbor, but there is nothing wrong with the direction of transformation

This international break, Beijing Guoan also chose to change coaches.

In terms of record and performance, of course, there is nothing to say about Stanley's class, and the coach's job is to be the first person in charge.

However, it can be seen from the previous games that in addition to Stanley's responsibility, the problems at the club level are also not small, the introduction and construction of the central midfield is so-so, so the whole team is tired of the back, so the new coach Ricciardo takes office, which is the first area that needs to be solved.

To put it bluntly, if you want to improve your record, Beijing Guoan must at least start by losing fewer goals.

However, this match against Shanghai Port, this goal is of course very difficult.

Although it was an away game, Shanghai Port was not polite after the opening, and actively fought in the front court:

And in the process of changing hands on the ball, it easily hit the empty place between the two lines of Beijing Guoan:

Although Guoan's content in the opening stage was not too strong, the new coach Ricardo had no baggage and concerns, he still found the problems of Beijing Guoan in the game and made an attempt to change.

The method he chose was to switch between four or five defenders.

In the 8th minute of the game, Beijing Guoan put on a position in the positional battle, and the position of the nominal left midfielder Jiang Xiangyou fell very deeply, directly to Li Lei's side, and the overall position of Guoan also became 541:

But in the ball stage, Jiang Xiangyou's offensive area is not in the sideline area, but often has to receive long passes from the back, and penetrate behind the opponent's defense through speed:

Obviously, Ricardo is using this method to try to solve the problem of national security at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

The problem on the defensive end is easy to understand, that is, the central defender's ability is not good, the midfield is older, and there is no always reliable choice on the bench, so when defending, a person is pulled back from the front court and shrunk into a three-back system, so as to compress the space between each other and cover up the lack of ability.

However, on the offensive end, Guoan still needs to play speed from both wings to support players in the center position, especially this time with veteran Dabao, who has outstanding back ability, but also needs more support.

On the actual route, Ricardo's initial intention should be that center Yu Dabao pulled to the left, and his teammates pinned down the opponent in the left half, and then let Yang Liyu obliquely cut in front of the door from the right side and play a threat:

Unfortunately, at this time, Yang Liyu had already left the scene injured.

Therefore, in the first half, Ricciardo's tactical plan for this game has been greatly affected, and Nabijiang, who appeared later, and Jiang Xiangyou, who later switched to this side, obviously could not replace Yang Liyu as a striker after Yu Dabao's retreat and pulling the edge.

Although in the 35th minute, Nabijiang's diagonal insertion and Jiang Xiangyou connected in the right half, and Ademi scored in the back row:

But not only was the goal offside, but the 30-year-old back Ademi inserted it after 30 minutes, and he should have focused more on the defensive end than that.

After all, in the 44th minute, Oscar sent a pass at the front of the big penalty area, and Wu Lei's shot happened to come to the feet of Lu Wenjun, who scored the ball:

Shanghai Port's obvious shortcoming at present is the lack of players who develop space on the offensive end.

Strictly speaking, their offensive performance in the first half was relatively average, and they did not play too many offensive threats before this goal, mainly because of the lack of fulcrum players in the front court, so in the case of only technical and speed elements to guarantee, the more threatening offensive means of the harbor is to play behind:

But for the defender, this hand is not difficult to defend, after all, if there is no fulcrum to contain it, it is good to follow people.

Therefore, after the lack of flexible means vertically, the space that can be used on the seaport side is to play more horizontal transfer of ball in the horizontal direction, which is good for their attack and the threat to national security will be a little greater.

Of course, this diagonal cross from the wing is a little simpler:

In any case, Harbour at least finished the lead over Guoan in terms of score, which is an unacceptable result for Beijing Guoan, who are playing at home, and Ricardo, who made his debut.

So after returning from the second half, Beijing Guoan significantly increased its intensity, shooting from distance and hitting behind him:

But over time, Guoan's plan for moving forward was clear, but under the pressure of the harbor, the technology did not support their plan, so the pass was frequently missed, the ball was frequently handed over, so into the 60-minute period, Ricardo decided to adjust, and at this time, the harbor once again seized on their problem in space coverage:

This ball, whether Bai Yang's front top is slow, depends on whether Guoan's guard line is a five-back at that time, if it is, it is slow, if not, Bai Yang's responsibility is not very large.

But regardless of whether Bai Yang's responsibility is large or small, Adaimi's problems are obvious.

The goal of the harbor played the effect of lateral transfer, successfully caught the empty space on the side of the Guoan midfielder, and in the process of lateral transfer, Ademi did not notice the situation behind him at all, and naturally did not jam the line, so that Oscar successfully found Matijiang, and a beautiful long-range goal was scored:

This lost goal is still a heavy blow to national security.

Not only because this goal conceded Guoan fell into a passive situation of two goals behind at home, but also because this goal happened to occur after Ricardo's substitution, replaced by Adebenro and Fang Hao, he was preparing to increase the weight on the offensive end, this ball was lost, Guoan opened the bow without turning back, and the possibility of losing the third goal also exists:

But Guoan and Fang Hao had good luck, and in the 81st minute, Lv Wenjun made a mistake in the solution, turning Guoan's counterattack that should have failed into a goal:

The goal sharply increased the intensity late in the game, but as Harbour stepped up their defense and slowed down, there was not much for Guoan, and Ricardo's debut ended in failure.

Throughout the game, the play on the harbour side was relatively stable, although there were no roles such as centers to open up space in the front court, but the back line had strength, could stand, and the technique in front of them was solid enough, so although there was only speed, over time, they were able to catch the opponent's mistakes in defense.

Especially against a team like Guoan, which has obvious problems on the defensive end.

It must be said that although the game was lost, the tactical direction presented by the new coach of Guoan, Ricciardo, in this game is still generally reliable.

He can see that the team's backfield is obviously not good, so he knows to drag someone back from the midfield to help, but because of the home game, because Yu Dabao is on the field, and he can't completely play a three-back system, so this wingback role in defense has to be used forward when attacking, which is correct.

In addition, Adebenro is also correct when the substitute is adjusted, and it is not wrong to use Fang Hao, a player with outstanding forward characteristics, who also repaid the trust with a goal, and Yang Liyu will have a chance in the future to recuperate from injury.

But still losing, still conceding goals, it shows that the transformation is not enough, switching from four defenders to four or five defenders, this direction is correct, Ricardo has to continue to move forward.

There is no turning back.
