Reporter Lu Mi reported This week the Chinese Super League has a double match, but Chengdu Chengdu has continued to suffer setbacks - after losing to Shandong Taishan by one goal in the last round, Chengdu Chengdu was able to overtake the score and was finally equalized by Wuhan Three Towns. Gaining only one point for two consecutive home games is obviously not a satisfactory answer. Four days later, Chengdu will face another tough battle against Beijing Guoan. To maintain the second place, Xu Zhengyuan and his disciples need to do better. adequate preparation. After
lost to Shandong Taishan, the first starter in the All-China Class, at home in the last round, five days later, Chengdu Rongcheng once again sat at the home court of Phoenix Mountain and ushered in the Wuhan Three Towns, whose performance this season was not stable. Because this week is a double match week, and there were some controversies after the last round of games, Xu Zhengyuan made major adjustments in this game. First of all, the formation has changed from the previous 343 to 433 with four backs, which is a more offensive formation. The personnel were also rotated accordingly, on the one hand due to the formation needs, and on the other hand due to the physical distribution of the double matches. Luo Muluo made his first start this season.
Today's Sanzhen is no longer the championship team of that year. Although some National Olympic players have returned to the team to serve as champions, the thickness of the overall lineup is still a notch behind Chengdu. Last season, Xu Zhengyuan said after the game against Sanzhen that he envied the fact that the benches of Sanzhen were all international players. But now, the situation of the two teams has almost reversed. Wei Shihao and Yan Dinghao in the Chengdu Chengdu formation are facing their old teams. Therefore, the mentality of both sides in dealing with this game has quietly changed.
From the offensive point of view, we can see that Chengdu's entire midfield and frontcourt flow very smoothly. Luo Muluo performed well in his first start after returning, allowing him to handle key balls in the frontcourt. In many cases, he handled the team's last pass, and he did it as brilliantly as last season. In this game, Romulo's keen sense of corner kick attack helped Chenggong score his first goal. This was his second goal in the Chinese Super League after 348 days. Coincidentally, the last time he scored was also the Wuhan Three. Town goal.
Wei Shihao also scored a goal. After the defensive tasks were reduced, his offense became sharper. However, the refracted positioning ball that broke through the old main city gate still had a certain luck bonus. This is also Wei Shihao's third goal after joining Chengdu Chengdu. He is currently the second scorer in the team after Felipe.
However, on the defensive end, after suddenly switching to four defenders, the Chengdu defense still showed great discomfort in judging the defensive space. In the 14th minute of the game, Sanzhen forward Enrique won a header opportunity from a cross. This was a gap left by the central defender's loose marking and insufficient response from the full-back. Including in the 81st minute, Sanzhen got a free kick opportunity, and Rongcheng central defender and foreign aid Timo also made consecutive mistakes in marking and aerial judgment. Wuhan Sanzhen only completed 3 shots in this game, setting a new record for the fewest shots in a single Chinese Super League match for the Sanzhen team. However, these 3 shots brought 2 shots on target, and they all scored goals. The expected goal ratio between the two sides throughout the game was 1.9 to 0.23, but the final score was fixed at 2 to 2.
Wuhan Sanzhen had to sell many Mesozoic players in the team this season due to the club's operating difficulties, including quasi-national players and future national players. The introduction of foreign players is not as heroic as before. Before visiting Phoenix Mountain, they had just won their second victory of the season. The previous five rounds of winlessness almost caused this team to stage the "Miracle of Kaiserslautern" The Chinese Super League upstarts are breathless. But it was precisely this strategy of lowering their body and holding on to counterattack that allowed them to take away a point from the Phoenix Mountain Stadium. This draw was crucial for them. After experiencing the "clown incident" after the home game against Yatai, Enrique scored 3 goals in two games, which can be considered a strong response. He is currently tied for third in the scorer list with 6 goals. .
"The players actually played very well, but it's a pity that they conceded two goals." Xu Zhengyuan wrote regrets on his face when summarizing the game after the game when he changed to four defenders for the first time this season but failed to achieve the desired results. superior.After losing to Taishan at home, Rongcheng fell into greater pressure. Now the team is expected by the outside world to become a member of the team competing for the AFC qualification and even the championship. Therefore, in the strong dialogue, it must show hard work. Strength and on-the-spot adaptability. With the four-back lineup in this game, Lao Xu also hopes to try more tactical routines with sufficient personnel in order to cope with different scenarios and not be beaten by the opponent.
However, the current Chengdu team is obviously not able to adapt to the treatment of a truly strong team, especially when the opponent challenges itself in a low profile - in the last round against the stronger Taishan, Chengdu failed to break the opponent's defense; In this game against the Three Towns, the offense made some gains, but the defense made frequent mistakes.
"The season is very long, and it is normal for the state to have ups and downs. We will not lose morale because of this. All our players are also very adaptable to these ups and downs. From another aspect, this is also a kind of motivation. A team A shot in the arm, motivating us to work harder." In addition to encouraging players, Xu Zhengyuan also needs to make a lot of efforts, such as how to choose the right players as the team's strength, opponent's mentality, and his own mentality all change. , how to make reasonable on-the-spot adjustments are all new tests for him.
doesn't have much time left for Lao Xu and Rongcheng to adjust. In 4 days, they will go from their own devil's home court to another devil's home court, where waiting for them will be Beijing Guoan, who has recently won three consecutive victories.
