It was a quality game, no doubt about it.
Both sides came and went, restricting and counter-restricting, controlling and counter-controlling, with both overall spreads and cuts of cooperation and flashes of individual ability. It wasn't until the last minute that the three towns lost all suspense. Prior to that, both Three Towns and State were a bit worried.
However, not only should Wuhan fans be happy about the game, but Shandong fans won't regret coming to see their team outclassed. Even Beijing fans have reason to look forward to their team's soccer content.
Yes, Chinese soccer should be like this. Not fly by night, not cowering, strength can't shrink to counterattack, but the fundamental aim is to win, or at least not lose.
Beijing Guoan is weaker than Wuhan Sanzhen, and the layout of the first half was clearly from their own underdog positioning. However, after accidentally conceding a goal in the last minute of the first half, Beijing Guoan pounced resolutely and posed a great threat to Wuhan Sanzhen.
Although the slogan "Guoan will always fight for the first" has been scolded a lot, it must be said that among the opponents in Wuhan three towns this year, few are more qualified than Guoan to say this. At least they have the courage to fight in front of the real No.1, well done.
Of course, what is even more pleasing is the fact that the three Wuhan towns are also facing such a challenge. After a wave of injuries ended Three Town's winning streak and undefeated streak, the team's performance has not been very satisfying, especially with the loss of pride that had people wondering if they would be able to stay the course.
Wuhan three towns with so undoubtedly the declaration of victory: three towns or that three towns, do not serve you let your horse over!
Davidson didn't flinch in the face of targeted looks from his opponent and even faced the challenge with fancy tricks;
Stanciu ran forward and covered the entire court despite frequent tactical fouls by the opposing team;
Xie Pengfei had both the assist to break the deadlock and the bravery to scramble back and shovel away the opponent's one-touch goal ......
By the way, we should also praise the referees. On almost all the key occasions, they made very accurate judgments: for example, Guoan's foul on Stanchou, Xie Pengfei's wonderful backward shoveling, and the penalty kick at the end.
For the most part, they accurately captured the scale of unity and openness to keep the game tightly paced and full of rivalries, but there was too much controversy to keep the players always focused on the game.
Even the goalkeeper Housen, who was largely responsible for the first goal conceded by Guoan, had wonderful saves after the previous one, and the Beijing fans were embarrassed to be too harsh on him.
It's really nice to scrutinize such a quality game amidst the cheers and even noise of the fans!
