Ka Shuai showed that the first stage of the competition in April and now at this stage compared to the Guangzhou team itself from the data has now changed a lot.

Compared with the first stage, we have a drastic change in the number of attacks, the number of shots on goal, the rate of possession, especially in the opponent's half of the useful rate of possession, the figures have changed drastically. We are in a very good situation, the only thing we are not satisfied with is the number of goals we conceded. After Paulinho and Talisca left, many people, including myself, mentally wondered if the attacking numbers would drop, but I'm happy with the numbers now. As long as the players have the desire to win and the mentality to enjoy soccer, they will not be far from scoring goals!"
The last round of Guangzhou derby is still very exhausting for Guangzhou team. Kasai will rotate the team appropriately this time, he thinks the physical condition of the non-national team players is better now, and the fatigue of the international players will be stronger. But no matter what, their goal is to beat the opponent to grab 3 points.
The last time the two sides fought, Fellaini's header helped Shandong to kill Guangzhou, this time how to curb Fellaini? Kashai thought that Fellaini is in the

Ji Xiang also suffered an injury in yesterday's training session, and it remains to be seen if he can play tomorrow night.

Although Guangzhou City drew the "Guangzhou Derby" last time out, they have drawn the last four rounds and have not won in five consecutive rounds.
