In the fifth round of the Chinese Super League, Beijing Guoan lost 1-2 at home to the promoted horse Shenzhen Xinpeng City, which can be called the biggest upset in this round. Judging from the data after the game, Shenzhen Xinpeng City team was able to defeat Beijing Guoan team in Xingongti, thanks to the players' physical running and pressing.
On April 11, the Chinese Super League officially announced the running distance list of players in this round, among them, the top two players are from Shenzhen Xinpeng City, namely Nan Song and Zhang Yudong. Among them, the 26-year-old midfielder Nan Song ran a distance of 13,447.79 meters, and the second place Zhang Yudong also ran a distance of 13,200.65 meters. The third place went to Nazario with 12,962 meters, the fourth place went to Cao Kang with 12,946 meters, and the fifth place went to Zoi with 12,843 meters. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Dingyang, the defender of the Chengdu Rongcheng team, who has always dominated the running distance list of the Chinese Super League, missed the top 5 and did not appear in this list, which is really surprising.
In other words, in terms of running data in this round, Nansong has surpassed Zhou Dingyang. It was also the active running and pressing of Nan Song, Zhang Yudong and others that made up for the strength gap between the Shenzhen Xinpeng City team and the Beijing Guoan team. In addition, the Guoan team consumed a lot of physical energy in the fourth round of the Chinese Super League against SIPG SIPG, and it was reasonable to lose the game in the face of Shenzhen Xinpeng City players at home.
The 26-year-old Nam Song has actually made a name for himself early, having been born in Yanbian and playing in the Korean league in his early years, and developed a habit of running actively. In the 2017 season, Namsong was loaned to Chongqing from South Korean side Bucheon FC.
In the Chinese Super League, Nan Song quickly showed his excellent physical fitness, can wear and shoot characteristics, that season, Nan Song in the Chinese Super League 27 appearances, all starts, contributed 3 goals and 2 assists, successfully selected for the National Olympic team and selected for the Chinese Super League Rookie of the Season shortlist.
In this round of the game against the Beijing Guoan team, Nan Song started and performed positively, with 4 successful steals and 1 interception in the whole game. Throughout the game, he contributed 19 accurate passes, had two shots on goal, and caused three fouls by the Guoan team.
Nowadays, Ivankovic's national football team mainly plays a single back, and the players who need the back position have very abundant physical fitness and active running and stealing ability, and Nansong's performance is fully qualified, plus the next round of the national football team's main back Li Yuanyi is suspended, Ivan may consider trying to use Nansong.
