After the Beijing-Shanghai war, there were many paragraphs about Eddie. Someone joked that Vieira turned off the lights before going to bed and found Eddie lying in the quilt...
For most of the game, Eddie followed Vieira like a brown candy that couldn't be shaken off. Such close-quarters staring made Vieira completely unplayed. In the 80th minute, Vieira was replaced by Yu Dabao.
On the football field, the front and defense are like the relationship between flowers and green leaves. Although the green leaf does not have the red color of the flowers, it has the ability to photosynthesize and make nutrients for flowers and trees. For any team to win a game, defense is the foundation.
Without Eddie and other defenders to restrain Vieira and Zhang Xizhe well, the attack in the front court would not be so smooth, and it would be much more difficult to win the game.
After the game, head coach Cui Kangxi said: "Beijing Guoan midfielders are very strong, they have excellent offensive organizational skills, they are very good from the offensive organizational end, we ask for restrictions on them, with a focus on Vieira and Zhang Xizhe. We did a good job, they didn't play out their own characteristics. ”
Throughout the game, Eddie completed 4 steals, 3 interceptions, and 2 clearances, which is a very bright set of defensive statistics. Like Moreno and Wu Xi, Eddie's performance is also perfect.
Eddie is an all-rounder who can handle all positions in the backline. But judging from last season's personnel arrangement and the lineup of the first four warm-up games of the season, Eddie is not the first choice for right-backs. In many people's concepts, Eddie is the third pick for right-back. However, in this highlight of the year, Choi Kang-hee unexpectedly let Eddie play the first game and assigned him a special task, which also became the key to Shenhua's victory over the Beijing-Shanghai War.
After the game, Eddie revealed Cui Kangxi's arrangement to reporters, "In the preparation of the pre-match meeting, Cui Dao gave us an analysis of the opponent of Beijing Guoan, emphasizing that Zhang Xizhe and Vieira in their midfield are two players who need to be taken care of. ”
Eddie also saw a lot of discussion from everyone, "Everyone may think that this game I went to keep an eye on Vieira, in fact, when it was arranged, it was basically me and Wu Xi, in different areas to keep an eye on Vieira, and the two of us took turns to watch against him." When I go to watch against Vieira, Wu Xi will help me make up for the full-back. Wu Xi went to stare at Vieira's words, and I went to the middle. I am similar to Wu Xi and the two people are cross-transposed. Later, it was replaced by Qian Jie, which was the same. ”
In recent years, Shenhua's record against Guoan has been very unsatisfactory. The last victory over Guoan in the league dates back to the 2015 season, which was a victory that had been waited for nearly 6 years and greatly improved the confidence of the whole team.
Eddie said: "The team has been preparing for a long time this season, every player has put in a lot of effort, and everyone is very eager for the team to achieve better results this season. Before the game, Cui Dao also repeatedly stressed to us that if you want to become a really strong team, you need to have the belief to win against any opponent. In the first game against Guoan, the opponent was a very strong team. In the game we executed the pre-match arrangement very well, and this win was a great help to the team's self-confidence. ”
Eddie, who held the wedding on March 13, appeared on the training ground of the Kangqiao base on the 15th. In order to prepare for the league, Eddie did not have time to go on a honeymoon with the bride. "At that time, it was only a month before the start of the league, there was no way, the training could not afford to be delayed. If you don't follow the team for a week, you will be very tired to chase it back. ”
Yesterday, nearly 10,000 Shenhua fans rushed from Shanghai to Kunshan to cheer for the team and create a good "home" atmosphere in the Kunshan Sports Center, "Thank you very much for so many fans coming to the stadium today, although the game system, but still feel the atmosphere of the Hongkou game at the scene." Our victory over Guoan in this game is inseparable from the support of so many fans. ”
