This afternoon, the Shanghai Haigang team will set off for Guangzhou to prepare for the second stage of the Super League to be restarted this weekend. Their first opponent will be the Shenzhen team. From December 13th to the FA Cup final in early January next year, Haigang will play nine key battles in less than a month. With the best results in both sides, the team is currently focusing more on it. It’s still trying to play at its best level. On the other hand, although in the eyes of the outside world, Haigang and Shandong Taishan are the most stable teams at the moment and the most likely to hit the league championship. However, if Haigang wants to recover the 5-point difference between the opponent and the opponent, it will not only have to look at it. Focus on the Taishan team.
According to the Chinese Super League schedule, the championship game will start next Monday. The Haigang team’s first opponent is the Shenzhen team. This is not an easy game to deal with. After the end of the first stage of the league, the Shenzhen team is currently ranked fifth in the overall standings, 4 points behind the Haigang team, and 9 points behind the leader Shandong Taishan. Theoretically speaking, the team actually has the hope of winning, of course. From a realistic point of view, it may be a reasonable goal to compete for a seat in the AFC Champions League. And this is indeed the direction proposed by the Shenzhen Club at the mobilization meeting a few days ago.
In the current Super League, the Haigang team and Shandong Taishan team are considered to be the two most stable and non-paying teams, but in terms of financial investment this season, the Shenzhen team is not lagging behind. Some media claimed that so far, the team has distributed up to 60 million yuan in total, and if the final goal of AFC seats can be achieved, the club plans to reward the team with 15 million yuan, which is not small for the whole team. Stimulus. In addition to the 28-point Haigang team, Changchun Yatai and Guangzhou have 28 and 30 points respectively. The Shenzhen team is not without a chance.
For the Haigang team, which has a five-point gap with Shandong Taishan, in order to counterattack to win the championship, in addition to striving to win in two rounds of direct confrontation with Shandong Taishan, first of all, it is necessary to make sure not to lose points on the other three teams. The Shenzhen team currently welcomes back the core foreign aid Quintero, and the frontcourt also has an outstanding combination of domestic and foreign aid such as Caldek, Achim Peng, and Gao Lin. The cards are no worse than any other team. In the previous FA Cup, they almost eliminated Shenhua in the absence of Quintero and Gao Lin. Therefore, the Haigang team must be prepared for a hard fight.
The Guangzhou team and Guangzhou City are affected by the poor operation of the club and the parent company. The preparation of the whole team is not too systematic. Among them, Exon, Fernando and Alan of the Guangzhou team have basically confirmed that they will not be with the team. Fighting in the second stage of the league, to a certain extent, greatly reduced the team’s strength. However, the Guangzhou team has a solid local lineup. After players such as Liu Dianzuo, Zhang Linpeng, and Jiang Guangtai complete the seven-day independent observation period, the team will still have a very good lineup. Taking into account the “relationship” between the Guangzhou team and the Haigang team, it is not easy for Lecco’s disciples to pass the test.
In contrast, Shandong Taishan’s schedule and opponent’s strength are more favorable. Changchun Yatai performed well in the first stage of the league. During the intermittent period, he welcomed the foreign aid central defender Okre. In theory, he should have a good spoiler ability, but no one can say how much stamina the team has. As for the Beijing Guoan and Hebei teams, both have arrears of wages to varying degrees. The latter was not even sure if they could make their appearance in the second stage of the game, while Bilic’s Guoan now has only one foreign aid in the team.
On the whole, Shandong Taishan, which already has a 5-point advantage, is indeed more likely to win the league, but in any case, if Haigang can play the performance and rhythm of the FA Cup in the two rounds of eliminating Shenhua, there is still a chance. Let the suspense of the league last longer.
High-density schedule, physical fitness and injuries are tests
The opponent’s strength is one aspect. For Lecco, he considers more of his team’s preparation. Starting from next Monday, Haigang will play nine consecutive games in a month, not to mention that it is still a key game that is related to the final result. This requires the team to only show the best performance in every 90 minutes. Row.
Physical fitness is undoubtedly one of the keys to victory. In fact, in the several important battles so far this season, the Haigang team has indeed demonstrated a certain advantage in this regard. In the derby of the FA Cup semi-finals, the overall younger Haigang played a high-tempo and high-intensity. The team’s oppressive style of play made the opponents uncomfortable for a while, and finally settled the victory in the first round.
After entering the championship competition, Lecco will definitely still ask his disciples to adopt similar strategies in the game. However, the density of the league schedule is higher, and the main players in each position cannot continuously “output”. It is necessary for the coaching staff to do a good job of timely rotation matters. In the current three lines of the Haigang team, don’t worry too much about the goalkeeper position. Although Yan Junling has been playing with the national team for a long time, he has maintained a good game state. In the defense line, the seaport is relatively abundant. Although Mestorovich is still unable to play, with the return of Li Ang, the seaport team still has players such as Yu Hai, Li Ang, He used, Fu Huan, Wei Zhen, and Yu Rui. ; The first choice for the two wingback positions is expected to be Li Shenyuan and Lu Wenjun. This combination of “old” and “young” has scored and assisted in this year’s league and cup matches. So far, Lu Wenjun is still The best scorer in the team.
In contrast, it is the striker that is a bit worrying. Although Lopez has not scored many goals, he can provide more tactical options as a foreign aid. After he retires from injury, only Li Shenglong, Liu Zhurun, and Hu Jinghang are left in the harbor. Perhaps if necessary, Lu Wenjun can also Was pushed to the front line. However, the league is not like a two-round elimination cup game. A stable scoring point is very important. How to solve the scoring link of the forward players will affect the overall offensive efficiency of the Harbour team.
Finally, I have to mention injury and red and yellow card control. In this regard, the three foreign players are the most critical. Although Oscar, Mui, and Paulinho have some similarities in their technical characteristics, they can still give different types of contributions when they play together. The absence of any one of them will have an impact on the overall offensive and defensive system. In the case of a three-day match, it is not only the strength of each team on the court, but also the overall strength of everyone outside the court.Return to Sohu to see more
