The Brazilian current international joined Evergrande
The day before yesterday, the last day before the second transfer window of the Chinese Super League closed, Guangzhou Evergrande broke a shocking news, announcing that Brazil's active international Robinho officially joined Evergrande. It is a good thing that the superstar joined, but what shocked everyone was that there was no sign at all, everything seemed to come too suddenly, there was no little defense, plus Evergrande had not been interested in Robinho before, for nearly half a month, there had been rumors that Robinho was going to join the Evergrande team, and rumors that Evergrande offered a high annual salary for it, but Robinho himself was not moved. In this regard, Evergrande also came forward to debunk the rumors. Judging from the information learned by Evergrande at that time, Evergrande did have little interest in him before, plus because according to xu Jiayin's previous reinforcement regulations, all new signings must be under the age of 28, and the previous signing of Diamanti and Gilardino is also a lesson of failure, and now Robinho is 31 years old, far from meeting the standards for reinforcements. So, what caused Evergrande to punch himself in the face? What's the secret behind this sudden transfer? Why is it that the 28-year-old reinforcement age limit has been broken again like the italian two elders before?
How is Evergrande signing up overnight?
In fact, the reason why Evergrande beat its own mouth is also a helpless move. Evergrande team has been injured this year, suffered a large area of injuries, the disease invasion has not been broken, this good and that is injured, it is always difficult to sacrifice a set of the strongest lineup to cope with the battle. In the last round of the match against Jianye, Evergrande struggled to draw Henan Jianye, which was only the strength of the midstream team, and it was this game that completely peaked Evergrande's previous decision and made up its mind to sign Robinho. In the last round of the game, Evergrande's starting lineup actually discharged the lineup of the all-Chinese class, even Gao Lat, who had previously struggled to support the whole team, also disappeared, there are sources, Gaulat was injured when he played Changchun Yatai last weekend, after examination, the team doctor suggested that he rest for a week to 10 days before playing, so that Evergrande's strength is even worse, Alain will not be able to come back in October, in fact, it is October, but no one has a bottom, even if he comes back, the state is also a problem, and Elkeson has at least two weeks to go, Now even the only foreign aid Gaulat is injured, only one Paulinho is left, for a back who is still adjusting, the contribution ability to Evergrande's frontcourt attack is not large, so that Evergrande's offensive ability will become very weak, the difficulty of scoring goals will be greatly increased, in this case, Evergrande must introduce a high-level foreign aid to maintain the vitality of the front and attacking firepower.
The magnanimous sadism of a cycling teenager
It can be said that Evergrande was forced to be anxious, and Scolari was also forced to be anxious, and he would immediately think of bringing in Robinho to respond to the emergency. The situation of foreign aid and injured soldiers forcing Evergrande to bring in emergencies, and one step later, this season's league championship may really be far away from Evergrande, and the current market can come to a battle immediately and can be negotiated the fastest, and can do big things without spending a lot of money, I am afraid that only Robinho, who is in free. After all, although Robinho has sunset in the west, he is no longer brave, but as a former "cycling teenager", he still has strength, has played for Real Madrid, Manchester City, ac Milan and other giants, and has just finished playing in the Copa America with Brazil, maintaining a good state, can immediately take up the post of Relaxation Evergrande, and Robinho can be competent for any position in the midfield, another reason, Robinho is the same winger as Alain, which is also the player that Evergrande needs, secondly, It also stems from Scolari's understanding of Robinho, after all, the two have worked together on the national team, and Robinho is a world-class player he knows, understands and can better understand the tactical intentions of the executive manager. Therefore, various reasons also contributed to Evergrande's decision, which finally launched the reinforcement work urgently, and successfully introduced Robinho yesterday. In this way, Evergrande has officially changed from the Italian gang last year to the current Brazilian gang, and the team has gathered three Brazilian internationals: Robinho, Gaulat and Paulinho, plus Elkeson, former Brazilian national team coach Scolari, Evergrande has completely branded Brazil. According to the news, the 31-year-old Robinho joined Evergrande at zero value, only signed a contract for half a year, want to get a long contract, but also depends on his next performance and the recovery of Alain who is recuperating from injury and how to choose between the state in the future, there are rumors that Robinho's annual salary is as high as 12 million euros, but insiders revealed that its actual annual salary is far lower than this figure, the specific true or false is not known, but it is obvious that Evergrande signed Robinho only in temporary emergency use, In order to solve the problem of the tension of the team personnel first, whether he will choose to renew the contract or give up in the future depends on his next performance. So, since it comes to relaxing Guangzhou, what can Robinho bring to Evergrande? How much will it play a role in Evergrande's technical and tactical play? Let's analyze and discuss it together.
What is the role of Robinho in aiding Guangzhou?
Robinho rushed to Guangzhou
Earlier, the arrival of Paulinho further enhanced the hardness and strength of Evergrande's midfield, and now, the addition of Robinho believes that the attacking routine and offensive direction of Evergrande's entire midfield will be greatly improved and changed. At 31 years old, Robinho is arguably the central figure of the Brazilian national team, a world-class star who has truly proven himself, and in 2002 he began his career at Santos Football Club, at one point with teammate Diego Ribas da Cunha, known as Brazil's most promising twin stars. When he was young, Robinho's technique was extremely delicate and extraordinary, and the skilled "cycling" was one of his signature actions, so he was also known as "cycling teenager". Compared with the gorgeous style of play when he was young, Robinho, who is now maturing, has also undergone many changes in the way he plays.
Robinho competed in the Copa America
In the just-concluded Copa America, Robinho is still one of the thighs of the Brazilian team that is currently not losing to Neymar, and in Brazil, Robinho has been called "New Pele", "world-class dribbling master". His light and fast style of play is very similar to that of the ball king of the year. Although now slightly older, physical strength and impact and even superior ability has not been as brave as before, explosive power and speed are not as good as before, and the feeling and confrontation of the dribble under the feet have also declined, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, compared to the domestic players, it is still very outstanding, and there is bound to be a place for growth, Robinho's current playing can be described as more and more "fine" and "Jane", with the increase of age and experience, his overall view, organizational ability, passing ability will be greatly improved, Now Robinho is more of an organizational core in the frontcourt, like Cuadrado and J Ronaldo, who is very important for the offensive support of the whole team. Although the speed explosion is not as good as before, But Robinho is still trustworthy, his technology is still at the top of the Chinese Super League, still his technology, I believe it can launch a great impact on the opponent, he is still able to play a greater influence on the current Evergrande.
The "cycling boy" technology still exists
Since Muric left the team, Evergrande's impact on the offensive end has dropped a lot, and Evergrande's current situation, the biggest problem is that there are too many injuries, which greatly affects Evergrande's platoon deployment. Since Alan and Elkeson have been injured, Evergrande only has a foreign aid left with Gaulat, and now Gaulat is more suitable to play the position of the front waist, but only relying on Gaulat alone, in the game both as a father and a mother and passing and scoring the ball also have to be responsible for attacking and breaking the goal, very tired, but also make Evergrande will play very hard, very not smooth. The remaining two sides rely on local players Yu Hanchao and Zheng Long, but when Evergrande attacks, they both lack sharp breakthroughs, and the foot skills are more general, lacking accurate passing. Yu Hanchao has speed, but he is more of a rapid attack in the space zone, and the breakthrough is very general, and it is easy to be intercepted or shoveled by the opponent. Zheng Long has fake movements and changes direction, but he is not fast and is easily surrounded by people. Moreover, the local players lack the overall tandem in the front court, are not tacit enough, and it is difficult to play a smooth coordinated attack. Therefore, in the current Evergrande attack group, what is most lacking in essence is a good winger, a good winger with technology, organization and overall view, who can assist and break through the ball, and Robinho just replaces Alain and is on top of this position.
Brazil helped build Evergrande's new trident
Future lineup conjecture
Evergrande group the strongest Brazilian gang
When Robinho came to Evergrande, according to Evergrande's normal starting lineup of 4231, should be able to occupy a position on the wing, Robinho has better foot technology and goal-kick technology than Zheng Long and Yu Hanchao, can pass, have a big picture, vision, passing ability, I believe That Robinho will be Given more frontcourt combinations and offensive tasks by Scolari. At that time, if Elkeson has not yet returned, Gao Lin will be on top of the center position, Gaulat will organize behind him, Yu Hanchao or Zheng Long occupy a side, Robinho occupies the other side and becomes the new winger, the midfield cooperates with Paulinho's insertion, then in the game, Evergrande frontcourt can rely on the tacit understanding between the three Brazilian foreign aides and the organization to play a more fluent attack, and Robinho can also complete a personal attack or a large-scale transfer of the diagonal on the flank, and cooperate with Gaulat to organize and other options. This makes Evergrande have more offensive routines. In this way, Gaulat's pressure will be much lessened, and he will be able to focus more on points and assists. In previous matches, Evergrande's backcourt snatched the ball and handed it to Yu Hanchao or Zheng Long on the flank, because the breakthrough ability and speed were not very good, resulting in the overall rhythm of counterattack was always slowed down, so that the opposing defenders could have time to return to the defense and waste a good opportunity. And if there is Robinho, it is completely possible to disrupt the opponent's defense line with his personal ability, and then use accurate passing technology to find other attackers in the middle to follow up and score points, in any case, with Robinho, Evergrande will have a lot of attack routines from now on, no longer single, although it is no longer magical, but with Robinho's current technical ability and physical condition, it is not a problem to deal with the Chinese Super League team.
In general, Robinho's current technology is more comprehensive and sophisticated, for the Chinese Super League players, he not only has a good dribbling technology, but also has an advantage in terms of speed and passing, coupled with the improvement in organization, overall situation, vision in recent years, so that he can be more calm on the field, no longer limited to a position, now Evergrande is in an unprecedented difficult predicament, the prospect of winning the league is precarious, and then there is the invasion of the AFC Champions League, the schedule is very terrible, I believe that now with the addition of Robinho, the "Brazilian active international footballer and international top superstar", it can enhance the team's midfield change and attack ability, enrich the technical and tactical routines, accelerate the team's formation upgrade, help Evergrande get out of the predicament, and return to the top of the list in this season's championship big4, let's look forward to the "cycling teenager" at that time!
