As a mature team, the most important thing we need to do is: we must win against opponents weaker than us and then fight against opponents stronger than us. In this game, Shanghai Shenhua played against an all-China team. The paper strength must be very weak. Only by facing such an opponent and keeping enough wins can Beijing Guoan get back on the right track.
Since Menzo came back to Beijing to coach Guoan's first team, I think the team is gradually reflecting a "stable" character. Although we conceded goals from time to time during the game, in general, we still got all the points we deserved. Otherwise, we can't go back to the fourth position in the table.
The rainy game was full of many chances. I think Beijing Guoan conceded some goals "by chance" however, it was clear that the team didn't fall into disarray because they conceded first, but relied on their players to gradually expand the situation on the field. Although the final goal was scored thanks to Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Yuning, the victory was the result of the efforts of all the players.
Zhang Yuning scored his 17th league goal of the season, a great number for today's Super League and for Beijing Guoan today. What's especially important is that Beijing Guoan didn't make the last pass around Zhang Yuning. For example, in this game, Zhang Yuning simply appeared where a striker should be and scored with the most logical footwork.
Compared to Zhang Yuning's goal, Zhang Xizhe's equalizer not only stabilized the situation on the field, but was also more spectacular - first, Wang Gang seemed to have a powerful indirect assist, and then Zhang Xizhe's goal "crotched" two defenders of the opponent! --This kind of goal is really rare! I hope Zhang Xizhe can score soon and dominate the all-time scoring list of Beijing Guoan. Of course, I also hope that Zhang Yuning will stay at Guoan so that he can break Zhang Xizhe's scoring record.
Given Shanghai Shenhua's defense and counterattack tactical system, Guoan actually got a lot of chances, especially in the second half, Adeben Jiang Xiangyou, and even Bijiang ...... they all had good airborne chances. This shows that the tactical play arranged by the door left is reasonable for the micro situation of the game. I sincerely hope that Beijing Guoan can have more players to seize the scoring opportunities.
Yu Dabao did not appear. The captain's armband was on Zhang Yuning's arm. While he was happy, he couldn't help but be a little worried. According to common sense, Zhang Xizhe is eligible to be listed as Guoan's captain alongside Yu Dabao - Yu is older, but Zhang Xizhe comes from youth training. I'm not sure if the club's wages will be fully paid and if his contract will be renewed for next season. Does making Zhang Yuning captain mean he'll stay in the team? Or might Zhang Xizhe leave next season? Today's Beijing Guoan can reassure the fans. There are very few exciting players. I sincerely hope Zhang Xizhe and Zhang Yuning will still play for Guoan next season.
In today's game, besides Guoan continuing to use many players over 30 years old, opposite Shanghai Shenhua and the substitutes also have many players over 30 years old. While watching the game, I was thinking.
In the past, everyone called players over 30 years old "veterans", but now there are many teams (including clubs in the top five leagues) "veteran players" Does this mean that the phenomenon of "age falsification", which was often mentioned before, has improved greatly? Does this mean that the phenomenon of "age falsification", which was often mentioned in the past, has been greatly improved?
I think the Chinese professional soccer league is still in a period of adjustment. There are still unknown variables about how to organize the league next season and the existence of the clubs. As a fan, I sincerely hope that the team can play every game well, the players won't get injured and bring us more happiness!
