A 1-0 game may not sound so shocking, but for Henan club Jiuzu Du Kang and their head coach Nan Jiyi, it is more than a simple three-pointer. It's a release, a declaration, a race to tell everyone "we're coming"!
At seven o'clock in the evening of April 21, when the whistle of the China Resources C'estbon Chinese Super League sounded at the home stadium of Henan, players from both sides walked onto the battlefield with their respective goals. The players of Henan club Jiuzu Dukang have a hunger for victory burning in their eyes, and they need this victory to ignite the hope of the season. And the Qingdao manatees opposite, although their morale is also high, but this night, they are destined to become a background board.
In the first half of the game, you could say that it was a pin-to-the-needle match, with both sides having chances but failing to take them. The scene was at an impasse for a while, and the audience's mood was like a roller coaster, excited for a while, nervous for a while. It wasn't until the second half that the spark of the game really exploded.
In the 50th minute, there was a turning point on the field. Henan's Kovic sent a subtle through ball like a magician, and if he had an eye, it would have been Achimpen, because he was the only one who could shine at such a crucial moment. After receiving the ball, Achimpong calmly fired at the goalkeeper, and the ball went into the net like an arrow off the string. Nan Kiichi on the sidelines erupted into cheers with the fans, this goal is not just as simple as scoring, it is a catharsis against pressure, and it is an expectation for the future!
In the ensuing game, Qingdao Manatee were eager to equalise and their Saric were awarded a penalty in the 75th minute. It was a great opportunity to equalise, but perhaps it was too much pressure, or perhaps it was destined to belong to Henan tonight, and Saric missed a good chance when his shot was saved by the goalkeeper.
As the game came to an end, everyone could feel the ease of the Henan players. Not only did they get three points in this game, but they also earned confidence and hope. Speaking at the press conference after the game, Nam Kiichi was full of smiles and said: "Our plan was executed flawlessly and I am very happy to bring this victory to the fans. What's more, we kept a clean sheet and that's a huge boost to the team's confidence. ”

The fans are also full of expectations, and they believe that under the leadership of Nan Jiyi, Henan Club Jiuzu Du Kang will bring more exciting games.
