Before Nanji walked into the return passage after the game, the mineral water bottles flying from the stands smashed one meter next to him, and the muffled sound of the mineral water bottles hitting the ground and splashing water were a true portrayal of the fans' mood. Facing Nantong Zhiyun, whose strength is in the middle and lower reaches of the league, Henan Jiuzu Dukang team still can't get a victory. On April 13, a 1:1 draw at home made the patience of Henan fans reach the limit. The first six rounds of winless, the main players suffered injuries one after another, the change of formation and style of play still did not work, and the pressure on South Korea coach Nam Ki-il also reached the peak.
Since the last game against Shandong Taishan was changed to a 5-back formation, the Henan team has embarked on the old road of defensive counterattack. For the traditionally stubborn and arrogant South Korean coach, Nam Ki may not be willing to deny his own style of play with the ball, but in the face of the real pressure of the club's management, fans and results, he chose to compromise.
In this campaign, the Henan team continued the 5-guard formation, and the mediocre Nantong Zhiyun posture was not high. After the opening, neither team pressed in the front court, and the pace of the game was extremely slow. In contrast, the Henan team almost retracted the half-court defense as a whole, looking for Feng Boyuan, a high school striker, and a quick horse Achimpeng in the counterattack, such a simple routine team Nantong Zhiyun could not threaten. Facing a weak league team at home, the weakness of the Henan team makes people not see much desire to win.
After a dull first half, the game became open in the second half. After Huang Zichang appeared on the court, the Henan team began to speed up, gradually pressing the opponent through the premise of the formation and strengthening the transmission of the frontcourt. In the 55th minute, a set-piece in front of the Henan team caused confusion in Nantong Zhiyun's defense, and central defender Zhou Yuande swept the goal in the chaos of the penalty area to help the Henan team break the deadlock. But Nantong Zhiyun, who was behind in the score, was not reconciled, and also strengthened the attack by replacing foreign strikers, and equalized with a header from Godinez with a corner kick 10 minutes later.
After the score was equalized, Nan Kiyi needed to further strengthen the attack, but looking at the bench, he really couldn't find a chess piece that could change the tide of the game. At the end of the game, he even fell into the embarrassing situation of being besieged by Nantong Zhiyun. With the final whistle, the overall sound of "class" sounded in the stands of the aircraft. Before coach Nanji walked into the return passage, the mineral water bottles flying from the stands smashed one meter next to him, and the muffled sound and splashing of mineral water bottles on the ground became a true portrayal of the fans' mood.
Perhaps in order to get away from the fans' accusations as soon as possible, the players did not go around the pitch to thank the fans as is customary, but at first hurried out of the field after the center circle signaled, but had to return to the stadium to thank the fans amid the angry shouts of the fans. With the turbulent public opinion, the Henan team is spinning in the whirlpool.
"It's a shame not to win the game and sorry for our fans. Since the start of the game, the team has suffered from injuries and red card suspensions, and we have made tactical adjustments, but that's all we can use, and we will continue to work hard to get good results. "There was a depressing atmosphere in the post-match press conference, and a lot of Nanki's problems were attributed to a lack of personnel. Wang Shangyuan entered the substitute list but could only sit in the stands due to injury; Zhong Yihao was seriously injured and will be absent for a long time; Huang Zichang came off the bench but was replaced due to injury...... It is an objective reality that several main players have suffered injuries one after another. But the premise of how difficult it is for a good woman to cook without rice is that you have to be a good woman.
On April 21, the Henan team will face Qingdao Manatee, who is at the bottom of the league, at home.
