In the 19th round of the Chinese Super League, Beijing Guoan challenged the leader of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port. originally thought that the two Chinese Super League giants would contribute an evenly matched game to Chinese fans, but they never expected that the game would eventually develop into a war of abuse at Shanghai Port.
Beijing Guoan made a good start, only in the 13th minute of the opening game, Beijing Guoan was mainly anti-guest, Lin Liangming scored with a header, won the first place for Guoan, and led 1:0 away. However, after the goal, Beijing Guoan's nightmare began. In the 20th minute, Wu Lei volleyed and scored a 1:1 equalizer. After that, the game evolved into a goal performance of Shanghai Port, Gustavo and Wu Lei both scored two goals, and Oscar was the icing on the cake, and in the end, Beijing Guoan suffered a humiliating defeat 1:5.
Looking back on this game, although Beijing Guoan's loss was due to the lack of strength, some substitutions and adjustments of coach Suarez in this game also had big problems. If Suarez could have made a more scientific substitution adjustment in this game, Beijing Guoan would not have lost so badly.
All things considered, Guoan coach Suarez has at least two obvious failures in the substitution adjustment of this game, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these are the two most confusing decisions he has made in this game.
First of all, the first confused decision was why did you replace Zhang Xizhe and Gujia, the two attacking cores of the midfield, Zhang Xizhe and Gujia, at the same time when the score was 1:5 down in the second half? Does he want to strengthen his defense, give up the offense, and keep this 1:5 embarrassing score? Under normal circumstances, when the team is behind by a large score, they hope to save the defeat and equalize the score. And to salvage the defeat and equalize, the best thing to do is to strengthen the offensive and add a few more attacking core players. But Suarez's approach was the opposite, and he even replaced Zhang Xizhe and Guga, the two core midfield players at the same time. Doesn't this amount to a direct declaration of abandonment of the attack, disarming and surrendering? Although Zhang Xizhe and Gujia are not replaced, Beijing Guoan will most likely not be able to recover the defeat, but Suarez even gave up the courage and idea to save the defeat, which is really disappointing.
The second confused decision is, when Suarez made substitutions and adjustments in the second half, why would he rather replace Fang Hao, who is generally creative, than Cao Yongjing, who is extremely creative in the frontcourt? The data shows that although Cao Yongjing has only had 8 opportunities to play in the Chinese Super League this season, he has contributed 4 goals and 1 assist to Guoan; Fang Hao played 16 games in the Chinese Super League, but only contributed 2 goals and 1 assist. In terms of attack efficiency, Cao Yongjing was not half a point higher than Fang Hao. When it was most necessary to strengthen the attack, Suarez did not use Cao Yongjing, but Fang Hao, which is really difficult to understand.
Although Suarez's two confused decisions were not the main reason for Beijing Guoan's 1:5 defeat, his mediocre coaching ability makes Beijing Guoan's prospects really worrying.
