Unexpectedly, the team coached by Xie Hui actually completed the stunner at the last moment.
As we all know, Xie Hui advocates offensive football, and "pressing and playing" has almost become synonymous with him. After the opening, the Changchun Yatai team at the bottom of the ranking took the initiative, in the 4th minute, Yatai forced the front court to complete the steal, Beric broke into the penalty area after getting the ball, Serginho pushed the goal, and the Yatai team led 1-0. This goal is the embodiment of Xie Hui's coaching philosophy, which caused the Guoan team to make mistakes through the pressure of the front court, and finally completed the goal.
In the 39th minute, Zhang Xizhe assisted Fabio to help Beijing Guoan equalize. In the 67th minute, Changchun Yatai team attacked quickly in front, Guilherme won the ball on the right side and then buckled the international player Li Lei with his left foot to push the far corner to score, and the Yatai team led 2-1 again. In the 93rd minute, the Guoan team took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to equalize by Fabio.
Seeing that the 3 points received by the Changchun Yatai team became 1 point, Xie Hui's team did not give up. In the 96th minute, Wang Jinxian broke through in the penalty area and was put down by Zhang Yuan, and after being reminded by the video referee, the referee awarded a penalty. In the 99th minute, Zoe scored a penalty, and the Yatai team completed the countdown 3-2. After the goal, Xie Hui celebrated excitedly, which showed that it was a hard-won victory.
After this round of battles, the Yatai team reached 11 points, improved its ranking by 6 places, and rose from 16th to 11th, getting rid of the relegation zone in one fell swoop. There is no doubt that this game is Xie Hui's "masterpiece" since he coached Yatai, and it almost played his tactical thinking.
In fact, when Xie Hui took over the Changchun Yatai team, the team suffered 4 consecutive defeats and ranked at the bottom. On his first appearance, Xie Hui led Yatai to draw 0-0 with Wuhan Three Towns away and get 1 point. In the 10th round of the Chinese Super League, Xie Hui led Changchun Yatai to defeat Nantong Zhiyun 3-2 away and won the first victory after coaching. In the last round of the game, although the Yatai team lost 2-5 away to Shanghai SIPG, it scored 2 goals away from home, and dared to attack in the face of SIPG, which has strong attacking power, and also received unanimous praise.
After the end of this campaign, Xie Hui coached Yatai in 6 rounds of games and achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and scored 8 points, which is believed to be enough to satisfy the outside world. (Xiong Yixuan)
