Beijing Sinobo Guoan has finished the first phase of overseas training in algarve, Portugal, and after a few days of rest, the team moved to Cascade to continue the second phase of overseas training. On the second day of arriving in Cascade, Guoan also ushered in the second warm-up match of the training, against south Korean K League team Ulsan Hyundai, which is also training in Portugal.
Ulsan Hyundai is not a strange opponent to Guoan, and can also be called the nemesis of Guoan. In the AFC Champions League in the 2009 and 2012 seasons, Guoan was both killed by the opponent and lost all four games. Ulsan Hyundai won the Korean FA Cup last season and went straight into the group stage of this season's AFC Champions League. Ulsan Hyundai, which is currently preparing, has better reserves than Guoan in all aspects, so playing against Ulsan Hyundai at this time will undoubtedly be of great help to the team's tactical exercises.
In this game, Schmidt played with a three-centre-back style, and the last time Guoan used a three-centre-back in an official match, it was back 13 years ago in the 2005 season. Liu Huan, Yu Yang and Jin Pengxiang partnered in the defensive line, Li Lei and Jin Tae-yan played as left and right wing-backs, Chi Zhongguo, Lü Peng and Zhang Xizhe partnered in the middle, and Soriano and Hu Yanqiang played as double forwards. Ulsan Hyundai, on the other hand, played out, with two foreign players, Windby Hiller and Orsic (who had played for Changchun Yatai), starting together, with Kim Yong-dae, Kim Chang-so and Park Joo-ho, who has just returned from overseas this season, all starting first.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides entered a high-intensity confrontation, the game was very intense, but they did not create too good scoring opportunities. In the 34th minute of the first half, Ulsan Hyundai seized an opportunity that was not an opportunity to score first, and Kim Sung-joo's long-range hanging shot broke the deadlock on the field. Sinobo Guoan was temporarily trailed 0-1 at the end of the half.
After the start of the second half, Sinobo Guoan made a substantial adjustment to the lineup to try the effects of different formation combinations and different playing styles. Barton and Wei Shihao, who have just returned from the U23 national team, have both played off the bench, especially Wei Shihao, who has just joined Guoan this season, has attracted special attention, which is also the first time that Wei Shihao has played for the team.
Sinobo Guoan took advantage in the opening stages of the second half and formed an offensive attack many times, but it was the large-scale attack that made the team's slightly unfamiliar backline form a gap many times, and Ulsan Hyundai also seized the opportunity to score two more goals by Kim In-sung and Orsic to extend the lead to three goals. Wei Shihao, who then came off the bench, took the ball in the middle of the road and burst into the penalty area to cross, and Zhu Chaoqing, who also came off as a substitute, followed up with a goal to pull back a goal for Guoan. In the final moments of the match, Ulsan Hyundai Park Yong-woo scored another goal to lock the score at 4-1, and Sinobo Guoan was losing to the opponent.
Although the final three goals were lost, because Augusto, Park Sung and Yu Dabao did not play, new foreign aid was not in place, and the team used the three-guard formation for the first time in many years, and loss was inevitable. Players being able to adapt as quickly as possible, to run in as quickly as possible, and to find problems in the game are undoubtedly more important than the final result. With almost all the internal support in place, Bakambu has also joined the team, and then the team will also participate in the Atlantic Cup, which is also the most important warm-up opportunity for the team to prepare for the new season, and I believe that Guoan, who is more tacitly organized, can play better in the game.
Beijing Sinobo Guoan lineup:
22- Yang Zhi (46' 1-Hou Sen), 7-Liu Huan (46' 30-Lei Tenglong), 3-Yu Yang (46' 56-Zhang Yu), 14-Jin Pengxiang, 4-Li Lei (46' 28-Jiang Tao), 18-Jin Taiyan (46' 29-Barton (69' 11-Li Siqi)), 26-Lü Peng, 6-Chi Zhongguo, 10-Zhang Xizhe (46' 20-Wang Ziming), 27-Hu Yanqiang (46' 23-Wei Shihao), 9-Soriano (74' 15-Zhu Chaoqing)
