Beijing time on July 20, 2024, in order to reserve time for training before the National Football World Cup preliminaries, the 24th round of the Chinese Super League started early, and the first game of this round was the focus of the Wuhan Three Towns against Chengdu Chengdu. . Although today's Wuhan Three Towns are no longer the championship team that created the legend of Kaiserslautern, some players in the team even sued the club for long-term wage arrears to the arbitration committee. But just like they defeated Guoan in the Workers' Stadium 2 weeks ago, the Three Towns of Wuhan, with top players such as Deng Hanwen, Ren Hang, and Tao Qianglong, have never lacked the ability to knock down strong teams.
Except for the first 6 minutes of the game, Chengdu Chengdu almost failed to create any substantial threat in the first half. On the contrary, the three towns of Wuhan had quite rich offensive routines. Chengdu Chengdu's most threatening shot in the first half came from Zhou Dingyang, but whether it was because he did not observe the opponent's goalkeeper's position in advance or because he was too relaxed, Zhou Dingyang's shot in the penalty area not only hit the goal range, but also had no power at all. .
In the second half, Chengdu Chengdu's situation began to get worse. The city guarded by Jian Tao was first easily penetrated by Romario in the 52nd minute. Then, Wei Shihao, who came on as a substitute, made a move for his former teammate Deng Hanwen and quickly applied for a meaningless red card. Chengdu Chengdu, which was one goal behind, came back again. Caught in a situation where there is one less person to fight.
Since Wei Shihao kicked his former teammate, the smell of gunpowder on the court has gradually become stronger, and the two sides almost had a large-scale conflict. In the formation of national football coach Ivankovic, Wei Shihao has lost his main position. I wonder if such irrational behavior will have more negative impacts on Wei Shihao's subsequent World Cup qualifying journey.
Although veteran Ren Hang kicked Felipe down in the 85th minute, the numbers on both sides returned to a balanced state, and Felipe also scored with a header in the 94th minute. But Chengdu Chengdu has spent too much before, and frontcourt players such as Romulo and Gurfinkel have never been able to find the feeling they should have. This makes the extra-long 14 minutes of stoppage time not enough to become a team. Conditions for equalizing the score.
As Liu Dianzuo bravely resolved Tang Chuang’s shot in the penalty area, Chengdu Rongcheng also lost its last chance to win, and the game finally ended with a score of 1-1. Since December 2022, Chengdu Rongcheng has never defeated the Three Towns of Wuhan. The two clashes between the two teams this season have ended. If Chengdu Chengdu wants to break this embarrassing record of losing against its opponents, it may have to wait until at least 2025 in the future.
