A bad start with four unbeatable rounds has left new coach Sarko feeling very unhappy. When the Spanish coach will win his first league game will be his top priority. Tonight, the Maritime Stadium will host the Chinese Super League's "Battle of Yu and Beijing", which is a matter of concern for Henan's fans. Both sides can't afford to lose this battle in the spotlight that doesn't require mobilization.
In the first two rounds of the start of the season, Henan team sat on the Navigation Stadium one after another, but did not get the start of the season, drew Chengdu Rongcheng and Qingdao Hainiu. Nantong Rugao Sports Center, the third round of the Chinese Super League, Henan, 0:1 defeated the Chinese Super League newcomers Nantong Zhiyun. Two consecutive "promoted horse" teams at the beginning of this season, Henan did not win. Especially in the face of Qingdao Sea Cowboys and Shenzhen team two strength is not strong opponents, Henan team missed the opportunity to win. Facing Beijing Guoan, who also had 3 draws and 1 loss, Henan had the home field advantage, which was also an opportunity for Sarko to prove himself, but the suspension of foreign aid Pina was a loss for the team. In the pre-match press conference, Sarko was eager for the game, saying: "This game is very important for us and we hope to reward our fans with a win. Now that the team is getting better and better, we have to take the opportunity to focus on ourselves and try to get the points we want. Kovic is still recovering, he did well in the last round, but whether he can start depends on the training. Pina is a very important player, but the other players are also ready, after all, this is a good opportunity to show themselves."
In the last round of the league, Henan team challenged Shenzhen team which was damaged in the new season. The whole team was very eager to win and at one point came very close to this goal. Unfortunately, after leading for more than 40 minutes, Henan team was tenaciously equalized by Shenzhen at the end of the game and paid the price of Pina's ejection.
Compared with the old rival Shandong Taishan 0, Beijing Guoan last round sitting in the new Workers Stadium, ∶ 0 draw. Facing Henan team, only Guoan won, Stanley can have greater hope to continue coaching. Once he lost or tied, Stanley may be dismissed. Zhang Yuning is still looking for form after his comeback. Adeben Lo is suffering from injuries and the three new foreigners are not performing up to expectations. These are all problems that Stanley needs to overcome. After Guoan introduced two strong midfielders, Ademi and De Souza, the pass control and scheduling of the midfield has not yet formed a tacit understanding, and lacks effective organization, whether it is a positional attack or counterattack.
In a battle to the death that no one can lose, can the soldiers of the Central Plains usher in their first league win on the "Devil's Home Ground"? Let's wait and see.
