In the final round of the league, Cheung Kong was reversed by Beijing Guoan with a score of 1-3. Despite the loss, Cheung Kong remained in good playing form recently. Facing Guoan's dominance in possession, Cheung Kong played and barely let their opponents take advantage of too much in their frontal defense. However, facing the absolute strength, Cheung Kong team needs to summarize a lot.
Three days ago, in the FA Cup match, Cheung Kong fielded a youth army. Facing a strong Chinese team, Suzhou Dongwu, the young players performed commendably. Unfortunately, they lost in the last penalty shootout, stopping the second round of the competition. The young players' game created a rare opportunity for the key players to rest. As you know, the team's "Devil's Tournament" has just begun.
In this round of matches, Cheung Kong will travel to Jinjiang, Fujian to face Longmen of Songshan, Henan Province. In the first meeting between the two sides this season, Cheung Kong seized a good opportunity when their opponents were in poor form at the time. In less than eight minutes, Zhang Huajun and Hu Rentian contributed to the home team's successive goals and took control of the game. Then, Dorado took the initiative to "apply" for a red card and left the field. "Fantastic start" made Cheung Kong sitting at home a little "overwhelmed". Henan team is stronger, relying on Henan team "seasoned" experience advantage to launch a fierce counterattack, chasing two consecutive goals to equalize the score. In this battle, three months later, facing a strong opponent again, in addition to the coach's reasonable tactical design, the players also need to take a firm fighting spirit to accept the challenge.
In the final round of matches, Songshan Longmen from Henan Province challenged Wuhan Sanzhen on the road. The team continued to fight back and eventually managed to complete the reversal. While ending two consecutive losses, it was also forced to hand over the first place to the "leader" of the league. This shows that Henan is in good shape.
In the team's lineup, Spanish player Pina is the best choice for the team's midfield with his excellent individual strength. In addition, the two main center backs, Yang Shuai and Shuniqi, are not only solid in defense, but also very helpful to the team's offense. In the match, they contributed outstanding figures of assists and goals together.
It is worth mentioning that after 25 rounds of matches, Henan ranked fifth with 13 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses, accumulating 43 points, only 6 points away from the third-ranked Shanghai Port. "Competition for 3" in the form of gradually severe circumstances, they will go all out.
