The difficulty of picking up points is evident in the fact that in all four games, the final winning goal and equalizer came after the 80th minute.
Liu Yiming scores with a header.
Against Wuhan Sanzhen, Seaport still didn't escape the black hole of set-piece defense - Sanzhen broke the deadlock with two consecutive headers by Liu Yiming in the first attack of the opening match.
After that, the three towns retreated all the lines, the competition entered the mode of seaport control, the whole game seaport possession rate of 75%, but the power of the goal is very low, and finally let the seaport harvested the third game of the season "white papers".
The first phase of the league 10 games, Leko's team actually can only score 10 goals, this data is tied for the league's bottom five, and Dalian people, Chengdu Rongcheng, the same, which obviously can not be explained by the absence of the center of the foreign aid.
To know that Dalian is a full Chinese class to play, seaport native players of the class plus Paulinho and N'Diaye two foreign aid class, the final only produced into the field average of 1 goal, technical and tactical aspects of the pale is the more important reason. Seaport skipper Leko.
Those unintelligible operations
"It was a great game against the best team in the league, with a well-organized offense and a stable defense, and a very capable coach. Facing such a team we played well, took the field automatically and had the belief that we would win."
The rhetoric of Raiko's post-race conference was slightly hollow.
In the case of this match, Leko has Oscar playing as an organizational back - the Brazilian star who is far away from the central attacking position is a sharply reduced threat, and the original idea of waiting for Oscar to be able to bring direct help to the team in the competition is no longer there.
Looking at the 10 games throughout the first period, Leko's usual mindset remained me-first, with possession and pressure play in every game.
But in the absence of Oscar and Muy, such a tactic is not only very low power on the attacking end, but also often counterattacked by the opponent on the defensive end.
The second round of the Shanghai Derby is a classic example, where the seaport's offense and defense were futile and they were lucky to get a point.
In the key competition on the key players position selection, Leko's selection is also often spit out by the fans, such as often around 60 minutes to replace Xu Xin, such as letting Wang Shenchao play drag back center back.
The two crucial matches against Sanzhen to decide the ranking, the first round of Lecco too much trust in the young Chen Chunxin; the second round did not correctly organize Oscar's position, these two losses let the seaport completely by the first group to leave behind - in addition to being Sanzhen pulled 12 points, the seaport trails the second-place Tarzan are as much as 8 points.
Knowing that the Dalian region as a whole is a relatively easy journey, while Taishan is located in the Haikou region has more strong opponents, the actual distance between the two sides, far more than the eight points shown on the books.
Oscar is organized in the wrong orientation.
Can a change of command be the cure?
Looking at the current points tally and team form, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Harbour are completely out of this year's league title race, and Leko has been the subject of attacks from fans and media in the rhetoric arena in the meantime.
The post-match conference was somewhat eased by the fact that journalists outside the quarantine area asked the media group whether Lecco would be worried about being dismissed, but somehow the presenter didn't throw the question at the Belgian.
Regarding the future, Leko said after the race that he would use the break to analyze and summarize, "The past two months have been difficult for us, and I'm going to see how to get better. After how to do we know very well, specific impossible to say here, but we must need a good medicine."
And many fans joked that the cure should be Lecco's dismissal.
However, whether to change the manager, the need for the salon to do a comprehensive consideration - the Shanghai Hong Kong Group from the 2015 season since the sole operation of the team, in the issue of the head coach has two characteristics: from Eriksson, Boaz, Pereira to Lecco, the salon has been hired foreign managers, which means that the option of the local manager halfway to save the fire is simply directly ruled out.
Together Harbor Saloon hasn't had to change managers halfway through the season, with all three of Lecco's predecessors, leaving automatically when their contracts expired at the end of the season.
Indeed, the dismissal of Leko also has a certain risk capital, the salon has to have an alternative head coach, together with the guarantee that the new coach can immediately enter the role.
Of course, by keeping the Belgian, there would also be the difficulty of completely sinking the season as it is - and now, the time has come for the management to make a decision.
Apart from the marquee issue, the seaport also needs to deal with the foreign aid issue.
After Lopez's departure, the team has two empty foreign aid places, and the team should sign suitable immediate combatants to strengthen its strength in the summer window.
