SIPG faced the strong Chengdu Rongcheng team in this round of the Chinese Super League, and the team failed to win the opponent in this game with one more player in the first half. On the contrary, Chengdu Rongcheng team relied on tenacious defense and super high goal efficiency to finally win 2-1 against SIPG. After SIPG's loss to Chengdu Rongcheng, the team had an eight-point lead in the standings. If SIPG is still in this state in the future, the championship will be snatched away by the Taishan team.
SIPG's 1-2 defeat to Chengdu Rongcheng was not for nothing. SIPG's backup centre-forward Pingko came on and showed good form and scored a face-saving goal. It is worth mentioning that Pinko also scored goals when he played in the AFC Champions League qualifying tournament in SIPG. Unfortunately, the attributes of Pink's substitute surprise failed to bring the desired result to SIPG.
SIPG fans felt that since Pingke was in such good condition, Wu Lei, who started out, performed averagely. So, should SIPG arrange for Pinkco to play the main force in the next round? Pingke was originally a key new aid introduced by SIPG, and has always been pinned on high hopes. Before joining SIPG, Pinko played in the Austrian league and showed the goal efficiency of the Golden Boot. Therefore, SIPG, who is eager to strengthen the center, fell in love with him.
However, Pingke's technical characteristics were not recognized by SIPG manager Javier. Javier would rather use homegrown player Lee Sung-long in the centre than give Pinko a chance. For this reason, Pinko can only play substitute in the SIPG match. Fortunately, Pinko has a very good mentality, even if he plays as a substitute, he has no complaints. On the contrary, as long as Pinko can get a chance to play in SIPG, he will give it his all.
Pingke is clearly in better form than Li Shenglong and Wu Lei, so in this case the team should consider letting the Golden Boot play in the next round. After Wu Lei played in the national football warm-up match, his body and condition were in a very tired period. Therefore, it should be a matter of time before Pingke replaces Wu Lei in the next round. It is hoped that Pingke will perform well in the center forward position of SIPG and provoke the team as soon as possible.
