<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > the highlights of the game</h1>
Highlight 1: The new trident of deep foot is unveiled
Last season, as a team that participated in the Chinese Super League, Shenzu vigorously attracted reinforcements but the final record was only 13th. In response to the team's low number of goals, Deep Foot has introduced three foreign players this season, Quintero, Achimpen and Kaldek, forming a new trident. As a player who has scored goals in both the World Cup in Brazil and the World Cup in Russia, Quintero's career resume is unquestionable, and the 28-year-old Colombian star has been regarded by many deep football fans as the next Conca of the Chinese Super League. Achimpen and Kaldek, who contributed a total of 14 goals and five assists last season, are expected to refresh offensive stats this season with the assistance of Quintero.
Watch point two: how are the deep-footed veterans in?
35-year-old Gao Lin, 34-year-old Wang Yongpo, 32-year-old Jiang Zhipeng, 31-year-old Sun Ke, the four big players who came to shoot heavily last season, in addition to Gao Lin's 6 goals in 17 games, Jiang Zhipeng assisted 0 and sent low-level oolong, Wang Yongpo and Sun Ke were injured and had few opportunities to appear, and the competitive performance was difficult to say ideal. With this season a year older, it is worth seeing whether this group of veterans can be rejuvenated.
Watch point three: Henan Songshan Longmen little devil is in charge
Since Ivo and Kalanga have not yet returned to the team, Henan only has three foreign aides left in this game, which also creates opportunities for the team's young players to appear. Last season, young players Feng Boxuan and Niu Ziyi proved their ability to stand firm in the Chinese Super League. This season, two newcomers, Dilimurati and Permanjiang, have shot successively, especially the former, and are expected to get a starting opportunity this game. 21-year-old Niu Ziyi, 23-year-old DiliMurati, 24-year-old Feng Boxuan, 26-year-old Zhong Jinbao, plus 26-year-old Toure, etc., the little ghost-headed Songshan Dragon Gate may create surprises.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > pre-game sound</h1>
Henan Songshan Dragon Gate coach Javier: Ivo and Kalanga can not return we have made preparations and responses, including the addition of Toure, including some young faces in the squad, we have vitality and vitality, we will do better, we will stick to the traditional style, there is aggressive emphasis on team football, the pursuit of speed. It is true that the opponent has good players such as Kaldek and Quintero on the offensive end, but we will not blindly defend passively, we have also prepared the offensive plan, we will play our own spirit, we will not be afraid of any opponent.
Shenzhen Kaisa new signing Achim Peng: It is really difficult for me to lose my loved ones at this special moment, but I want to thank my friends for their care for me, which makes me very touched, and they comfort me like family. Playing as captain is not much different for me, but it does have a special meaning, as a captain, I want to pay tribute to my mother who died with my performance on the field. I would also like to express my respect and gratitude to Gao Lin, which is the sacrifice gao Lin made to comfort me, in my heart, Gao Lin will always be the captain of the team.
