Mao Yijun:
Detail control will become a key factor
In the 2017 FA Cup finals, Shenhua overpowered his opponents to win the FA Cup championship. This time, can Shenhua become the ultimate winner and enter the FA Cup finals this season? Shenhua acting head coach Mao Yijun believes that detailed control will become one of the key factors.
After struggling to beat Shenzhen to advance to the top 4 of the FA Cup, Shenhua immediately started to prepare for the seaport match. In the Chinese Super League this season, Shenhua has played against Haigang twice. Shenhua has 1 draw and 1 loss, and has no victory.
At present, Yan Junling, Wang Shenchao and Li Ang are preparing for the top 12 of the World Cup with the National Football Team. Lopez has been seriously injured and has bid farewell to this season in advance. Mui will represent the Australian national team in the top 12, so compared with the league, the overall strength of the harbor has a certain degree. Impact, but the midfielder Oscar’s return from injury is a major threat to Shenhua’s defense.
Yesterday’s pre-match press conference, Mao Yijun said when introducing the team’s situation in the past two days, “Everyone has returned to the main in the past few days. The team’s overall atmosphere is good and they are fully prepared. The opponents know each other well, and the control of the details in the game will determine the direction of the game.”
From the previous 4 FA Cup matches, with Zeng Cheng’s return from injury, Shenhua’s defense is relatively stable and has maintained 4 games without conceding a goal. Mao Yijun said that defense is the top priority. “The return of the Oscars of the Seaport has improved their strength a lot. In any game, defense is the top priority. You can see from these games that everyone is in overall and specific There is a good performance in the link, which is also the result of the players’ joint efforts.” However, Mao Yijun also revealed that the team will also have some targeted arrangements on offense. “Psychologically, we are all experienced players and our mentality will be very stable. Although it is a derby game, it will not be greatly affected. In addition, we will do some targeted offensive and defensive drills.”
Lecco:
Win in the way you do best
Shanghai Haigang, which has never been the champion of this event, has now reached the final semi-finals, and naturally hopes to go further and strive to make a difference in the finals and achieve the club’s trophy grand slam in domestic events.
In the semi-finals of the Football Association Cup and the Shanghai Derby, the head coach of the Haigang team, Lecco, at the pre-match press conference yesterday afternoon, also very cautiously emphasized that Shenhua is a very powerful team. “We know that Shenhua Such a team is very confident and motivated for the FA Cup. They have a lot of experienced players who will play this game with a good result. In the previous game, they did not lose the ball, and the defense is more Stable.”
Regarding Shenhua’s defensive counterattack tactics, Lecco said that the Haigang team has a way to deal with it. “We have summarized the previous game and analyzed the next opponent Shenhua. The team’s goal is the same as before, which is to work hard. It’s better than the last game. The opponents have their own characteristics, and we also have our own characteristics and styles of play. There are many ways to win in football matches. See which way to play on Wednesday has the last laugh. I believe we Will use what I do best to win the game.”
As for the special significance of Derby, Lecco doesn’t take it seriously. “This is indeed a very important game, but I hope everyone’s focus is on football. In terms of football, I look forward to both teams playing exciting games. In the first round of football, a wonderful game will be offered, and the side with better performance will win.”
Seaport captain Oscar has returned from injury in the last FA Cup game and has participated in more than 30 minutes as a substitute. Lecco revealed that the physical condition, stamina and state of the team’s core are improving and improving day by day. “There is no doubt that Oscar’s technical ability is very good. It is necessary to have enough patience with him, after all, no matter who it is, It will take time to recover to the highest level before the serious injury. I will continue to pay attention to his situation in the two days. But what is certain is that Oscar will do everything possible to achieve a high level to help the team.”
It seems that Oscar is expected to enter the Haiport team’s starting roster for this game to improve the team’s offensive organization ability. However, I believe he will also be taken care of by Shenhua players. Therefore, the referee’s penalties for minor defensive moves and fouls are likely to influence Oscar’s performance in the game and the performance of the entire Harbour team on the offensive end.
