"Interview with Wei Zhen" promised Lecco that he would definitely score this year

In the first 14 games of the Chinese Super League, Wei Zhen became the only full-time player in the Harbor team and scored his first goal in the Super League in the first game of his career against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. The 24-year-old young centre-back is constantly trying to live up to the first major decision of his life in his junior year: to continue his career in football.

In 2017, Wei Zhen was promoted to the first team of the harbor for the first time, and in the past five years, his story is clear to many people, but in the process, how he spent it is rarely understood. This time, taking advantage of the league break, we sat together and talked about the unforgettable past and the future he was looking forward to.

After the new coach Lecco took office, in addition to trusting Wei Zhen, he also used many young players in many positions. Including Wei Zhen, Zhang Huachen, Chen Chunxin, Abra Khan have all won their first goal in the Super League of their careers, and Li Shenyuan has also delivered two assists, and the growth of these players has made The Harbor fans happy.

Oriental Sports: What kind of coach is Lecco?

Wei Zhen: He has his own football philosophy, serious, detail-oriented, and can feel his attitude to his work. In addition, he has the same principles for every player, praising and encouraging when we perform well, but if we make mistakes in the game, including the Oscars, he will also point out the mistakes and then urge us to improve.

Oriental Sports: Remember when you said that you had an agreement with Lecco about scoring goals?

Wei Zhen: That was before the league restarted, when we were still preparing in Shanghai, one day we were going to practice set-pieces, and before the training session he said that we had a lot of set-piece opportunities this season, but only scored one goal, and then he asked me, "Wei Zhen, when do you think you can score a goal in a set-piece attack?" ”

Oriental Sports: How did you answer that at that time?

Wei Zhen: I said at the time, this year, this year can score a goal. He smiled and was surprised by my answer, because he felt that if it was this year's range, the span was too large. It should be said that the luck is also good, against the Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, it is considered to be a good agreement.

Oriental Sports: In two months, the championship group competition will start, have you usually paid attention to the competition in Guangzhou?

Wei Zhen: I think several teams in Guangzhou are very good, very strong, and each team has a very prominent local player and foreign aid. Guangzhou has always been a very good team, which goes without saying. Shandong Taishan has attracted great reinforcements this year, Shi Ke, Ji Xiang, Sun Zhunhao, etc., and fellaini himself in the team. In the first 14 rounds, Shandong Taishan scored a lot of goals and conceded few goals, indicating that they did a good job at both ends of the attack and defense. The foreign aid strength of the Shenzhen team is also very strong, and Guangzhou City also plays three defenders, their offensive firepower is full, and the individual ability of foreign aid is distinctive.

Oriental Sports: What do you think the first thing to prepare for the championship group competition is for us?

Wei Zhen: I feel that first of all, we must adapt to the game itself. It's unclear where the champions league will be played, but if we're going to Guangzhou, we'll have to adapt to the venue as soon as possible, including the weather conditions there. After all, from last year to now, we have been training and competing in Suzhou. Then you have to do a good job of defense, defense will be very important in the championship group, but also to control the ball, in the mentality to be more focused, to win every game, to make a difference in every game.
