Shanghai Harbor is on tonight's
China Super League (soccer league)
In the seventh round of the competition, a hard-fought 1:0 victory over Hebei continued to lead the Suzhou Division. The Harbor Team is also temporarily in first place in the overall standings of the two divisions.
Despite winning the competition, the
China Super League (soccer league)
In the 180 minutes of the two matches after the restart, Harbor scored only one goal, which came from a penalty kick. Objectively speaking, the loss of the main center forward Arnautovic Harbor Team, indeed in the front line offensive power suffered a lot.
For this match, Harbour head coach Leko rotated only two players. In the meantime, Lu Wenjun, who played as a striker in the last game, returned to the left wingback position from the beginning, and Li Shenglong started to partner with Lopez in the forward line. This is in fact all the cards that Harbor has on the offensive line right now, as the only striker left on the bench is 18-year-old Jabo Diem.
The lack of back-ups in the forward line and the inability of the offense to continue to put pressure on the opponents was one of the major reasons why Harbour Team, who took the initiative in the first half, gradually lost control of the field in the second half. Especially in the last ten minutes, under the opponent's wild attack, Harbour Team could be said to be a bit "embarrassed" to hold on to the final victory.
Li Shenglong's hustle is undeniable, and the team's game-winning penalty kick in this game also came from him actively pressing Hebei's young goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong caused the opponent's mistake. That's how Oscar broke the deadlock with a single shot.
But compared to Arnautovic's ability, Li Shenglong is unlikely to replace the Austrian international, and the weakening of the Harbour's forward line is an indisputable strength.
As for Lopez, in addition to two games each a shot hit the goal post, no highlights. Whether it's breaking with the ball, or passing, it seems to be outside the team's system, and is not worthy of receiving the team's No. 10 jersey from Hulk.
To top it all off Lopez missed two passes in the final minutes of the game as his team switched from defense to offense, causing close calls that nearly led to an equalizer.
Strengthening the midfield can be replaced with buy Tijiang; strengthen the defense can be sent to the national player Li Ang into the field. The depth of the bench in the midfield and backfield is quite good, the harbor team, now the biggest problem is still less big-name foreign aid scorer after the "front powerless", which will directly affect the team this season!
China Super League (soccer league)
A long shot for the title.
