In the first leg of the FA Cup quarter-finals today, Shenhua relied on a successful quick counterattack to hammer out The Hanchao and beat Shenzhen 1-0. After the game, Shenhua acting head coach Mao Yijun concluded, "The game was more glued overall, and we did a good job on the defensive end. Both sides had a chance on the offensive side, and we took the opportunity. But that's only the first leg, and we're going to play the next one. ”
In the first stage of the Chinese Super League, Shenhua and Shenzhen were in the Suzhou and Guangzhou divisions, so the two sides have not yet met this season. For this FA Cup match, Shenhua and Shenzhen have attached great importance to it and hope to win something on the field of the FA Cup.
Compared with the match against Changchun Yatai, Shenhua made personnel adjustments in two positions. Eddie was suspended for a red card and Zhang Lu made his debut as a right-back. In addition, Qian Jie gave the first start to replace Sun Shilin. Shenzhen has also sent the strongest squad at present, and the two major foreign players in the front line, Achimpen and Kaldek, are undoubtedly the team's offensive weapons.
Shenhua attaches great importance to the defense of Achimpen and Kaldek. For Achimpen, Shenhua's strategy was not to give him speed. For Kaldek, it was mainly to cut off the passes of Shenzhen's two wings. Judging from the game, Shenhua was still relatively successful in defending the two, especially Kaldek, who spent most of the time in stealth.
In this game, Yu Hanchao was in a heroic state and also became the key gentleman of the game. In the 40th minute, Pei Shuai made a mistake in handling the ball in front of him, and Shenhua seized the opportunity to play a high-quality counterattack. Jonić's straight ball accurately found Yu Hanchao, who was inserted in front of him, easily clipped Ye Lijiang on the left side of the Hanchao penalty area, and then hit the far corner of the goal with his right foot, with this goal, Shenhua finally won 1:0 against Shenzhen.
Yu Hanchao actually has the opportunity to expand the score. In the 45th minute, Shenhua counterattacked again, Wen Jiabao's picky pass found Yu Hanchao, Yu Hanchao killed again into the penalty area, a powerful shot was blocked by Zhang Lu, and then the shot was deflected, missing the opportunity to open the second degree. The FA Cup has played three consecutive matches, and Yu Hanchao is the left winger who starts. After the game, Mao Yijun also introduced the situation of Cao Yunding, "Cao Yunding is a very important player, there have been injuries during this time, and we will not let him take risks unless we have to." ”
Judging from the first leg of the game, the Shenzhen midfield is not stable, and Shenhua's attack line still has many opportunities. Of course, in the second leg of the game, Shenhua still has to do a good job of defending Achimpen and Kaldek. Shenhua's match against Shenzhen in the second leg of the FA Cup quarter-finals will take place on October 29 at 15:30. Speaking of the second leg of the game, yu Hanchao, the goal hero of this game, said, "We must forget the score of this game, because this game is two legs, and we must play 0:0 in the next game, to fight the opponent, to do a good job of attack and defense, and to fight for promotion." ”
