The coaching staff is the "locomotive", the club is the "decision maker", in the face of difficulties can come up with more targeted initiatives?
June 19
China Super League (soccer league)
In the fifth round of the league, the popular Wuhan Sanzhen team continued to lead the table by defeating Shanghai Seaport 2-1 in Dalian. Defeated Shanghai Seaports' skipper Leko admitted for the first time: "The championship is more difficult, we are not up to the
China Super League (soccer league)
The top level of the league."
Why did Lecco throw in the towel so early after only 5 rounds of the 34-round league? Harbour team strengthened their squad after winning the Double Asia Championship last year, but is it really due to the epidemic in Shanghai that the whole team is in a slump? The coaching staff is the locomotive and the club is the decision maker, can the team come up with more targeted measures in the face of difficulties?
Outside backers compete, harbor defeat justified
The Harbor team fell short, although the score was only 1-2, losing by only one goal, but the game progressed in a way that showed a huge difference in strength between the two teams. In the whole game, the Harbor team was completely behind in shots on goal by 6 to 22, and the number of shots on goal was completely suppressed by 3 to 11. The loss was absolutely justified.
In terms of ball possession, Harbour led the opponents' 35% with 65%, and their pass success rate was 84% ahead of Tri-Town's 72%, but this was an ineffective advantage - Harbour's possession areas were all in their own midfield and backfield, unable to create a substantial attacking threat; the passes were also made by the three defenders at the back of the field who passed back and forth across the field, making it difficult for them to go forward to launch an effective attack.
In contrast to past defeats, Harbour skipper Leko was convinced after the match, and was even a little bit surprised at the way he was treated. He said: "The better team won the game, we only lost by one goal, but could have lost by four. Everything was off in the first half for the players and the coach, and we're currently one goal from
China Super League (soccer league)
There's a gap at the top powerhouse."
Harbour improved their performance in the second half, relying on substitute wide man Ndiaye to pull a point back. According to Leko, "We had more possession in the second half but I don't think we played better, we didn't really create threatening chances and the opposition could have scored all four of our goals in the first half."

The league relies on foreign aid. Wuhan Sanzhen had a full complement of 5 foreigners and started with 4. The front three were on fire, especially senior midfielder Malcolm, who turned the Harbour's backline upside down with his powerful header that set the tone for the win. In contrast, only Paulinho Jr. started for Harbour, and N'Diaye, who came on as a substitute, was not sharp enough due to unsystematic training.
Foreign aid dependence, test of coach's coaching skills
In the absence of the core foreign aid, Shanghai Harbour Team exposed the chronic problem of difficult to win without Oscar, which certainly can not be separated from the
China Super League (soccer league)
The league relies on the general law of foreign aid, but more or less also exposed the coaching staff in the offensive deployment, tactical literacy, overall collaboration and timely response to the existence of short boards.
There has been a gold dollar soccer dominated
China Super League (soccer league)
The league has formed a simplistic tactical framework where the super foreign aid trident dominates the offense and the rest of the local players are responsible for defense. Whether it is the former Guangzhou
Evergrande (name)
Shanghai seaport or today's Wuhan three towns, super foreign aid is indispensable tactical core, local players are mainly responsible for doing the dirty work of defense, or even break down the ball to the foreign aid "tool man".
Now, with the super foreign aid due to salary restrictions and other factors to leave, the core of the Hong Kong team Oscar due to the epidemic and other delays in the return of many teams were beaten back to the original form, the seaport team's "Oscar dependence" is more and more obvious. Without Oscar, the harbour team's attack is very raw, basically difficult to create a killing machine, if not the club's introduction of internal aid Feng Jin a flower alone, the rest of the local players are trapped in the physical reserves, physical fatigue, tactical configurations and other factors, the performance of the weak procrastination, obviously not in the best state, it is difficult to shoulder the responsibility of scoring goals.
Can Chinese players play a relatively good-looking offense without foreign aid? This season, Xie Hui coaches the all-Chinese team Dalian Ren team performance is very good, the team temporarily with 1 win and 3 draws to remain undefeated, especially in the absence of a foreign aid can rely on the premise of the team's high pressure kicking sound, very lifting the spirit.
The high press and spirit of Xie Hui and the Dalianites actually reminded Shanghai Harbor that
China Super League (soccer league)
The league does not have only one tactic, one mode and one way of living to bet on foreign aid. In contrast, the various helplessness and complaints of Lecco nowadays after the absence of Oscar also show that the coaching staff can't come up with a solution to the problem.
In fact, as long as the proper organization, the right tactics, unity and cooperation, all Chinese players can also score goals, can also play relatively advanced team soccer - provided that the coaching staff have the pursuit, the players have the execution. In this regard, Leko may still need to use his brain.
Carve the boat and clubs have to improvise too
Xie Hui's coaching of Dalian relies on the all Chinese class to excel, inseparable from his long time in Shanghai Harbour Club as an assistant coach of the learning precipitation. After assisting Eriksson, Boaz and Pereira, Xie Hui chose to fly solo as a head coach, and he has incorporated the experience of these three champion coaches into his coaching philosophy.
In contrast, Leko as the successor of these three champion coaches, lack of a champion aura, character appears "one-stranded", encountered unexpected difficulties also lack of rapid response. Even the lack of "frustration education" of the young coach, because of their own stubborn stubborn character, so that the team has a "boat for the sword" suspicion.
In the author's view, the Shanghai harbor team affected by the epidemic physical reserve is insufficient, the preparation period is not enough has been irreversible, the face of the team only 14 days to prepare for the "special circumstances", must come up with a targeted "special approach". I learned that the rate of Laike team in Dalian still continue their trademark high-intensity training mode, and even two a day to practice aerobic running, running back and forth to reserve physical fitness.
High-intensity training itself is right, but these training tempo, training mode and preparation concept, often with a normal preparation cycle of about 30 days as a prerequisite. Now the harbor team affected by the epidemic, in the background of the preparation cycle is only 15 days, in the league before the continuation of ultra-high-intensity training set in stone is appropriate, to be tested by time.
Meanwhile, the higher intensity of training by the Leko coaching staff has actually exposed flaws last season. Lecco's handpicked defender, Maistorovic, arrived in China a
China Super League (soccer league)
The league did not even play, suffered two serious injuries ligament rupture. Among them, there is certainly an element of bad luck, but many circles believe that the team's training intensity is also a causal factor. In addition, the Brazilian striker Lopez last year in training ligament rupture, before the basic not injured Oscar last year also suffered serious injuries, which are and Lecco's training intensity is too high, too much emphasis on running, technical and tactical with the ball content of the relative lack of a certain degree of correlation.
Last season, after Lecco's high-intensity training, there was a Brazilian "miracle doctor", Edu, who utilized his professional ability to ensure that the players come back in time. This season, under the high intensity training, seaport team is full of injured soldiers, the domestic medical team has been very hard, but Edu due to the epidemic is still in Brazil has not yet returned to the team, the team has not yet recovered the maximum rehabilitation diagnostic and treatment power. In fact, there is a scientific rule for players to come back from injuries and illnesses, and the growing list of injuries and illnesses in the Seaport team this season also shows that the team's training is yet to be perfected.
"Everyone, including me, needs to reflect and analyze to see what we should do next to get better." After the match, Leko's statement was humble and pragmatic. In the author's opinion, Leko only use to the training and game of the technical and tactical responsibility, more matters actually by the harbor club decision-making manipulation.
Previously, the inaction and lack of response of team management in response to the outbreak or early for the eye of the
China Super League (soccer league)
The league is stuck in a rut and buried the fuse. Take
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
For comparison object, Shenhua in Kangqiao base although also plagued by the epidemic, but relatively can guarantee a certain training; Shanghai Harbor Club if you can earlier decision-making, more responsible, timely adjustment of the training site or go to the provinces and cities training, or can avoid the immediate embarrassment.
A Shanghai epidemic, resulting in the normal operation of the club in the past the original experience is completely invalid, but also to further magnify the club management, coaching staff strain of the short board. Today, the coaching staff, clubs need to face the epidemic prevention and control of the normalization of the background of the
China Super League (soccer league)
League preparation for the new model, this time if you still maintain the original thinking "boat seeking sword", the team may not only be able to get rid of "Oscar dependence", the future may also pay more tuition.
