Beijing, July 18, 2021 Season
China Super League (soccer league)
In the 6th round of the Guangzhou League, Shandong Taishan and Guangzhou City played each other for 90 minutes, and both teams ended up shaking hands 0-0. After this game, Taishan continues to lead the Guangzhou League table, while Guangzhou City has suffered 3 rounds without a win.
4 foreign aiders + "home" game Guangzhou City was suppressed throughout the game.
Although Shandong Taishan is "home" for this match, due to the current tournament system, this match in Guangzhou is nominally Taishan's "home", but in fact it is Guangzhou City's "home"! It was nominally the "home field" of Taishan, but actually the "home field" of Guangzhou City. The temperature during the match was 36 degrees and the humidity was 68%, which was more difficult for Shandong Taishan from the north to adapt to, while it was theoretically easier for the local Guangzhou City to adapt to.
In addition to the "home" game, the timing is better, Guangzhou City is also relatively complete foreign aid. In addition to having just finished the
European cup (e.g. soccer)
Outside of Svensson, who has withdrawn from the national team, the remaining four foreigners Dembele, Guilherme, Thiago and Caldona are all in the squad. On the contrary, Taishan is missing two Brazilian main foreigners, Guedes and Moises. In this game, Guangzhou City sent Dembele, Guilherme and Thiago three foreign aiders to start the game, from the whole game, the three foreign aiders did not fully play their own characteristics.
The whole match was under the control of the visiting team Taishan, who deserved to get 3 points if not for their bad luck. So in such a passive situation, Guangzhou City was able to get a point, and as their head coach Van Garst said, they are satisfied. However, it is worth noting that Guangzhou City has not won in the last 3 rounds with 2 draws and 1 loss.
Han Jiaqi makes many saves to stop Taishan's bombardment.
Taishan's bad luck in the offense in this game was actually Guangzhou City
Goalkeeper Han Jiaqi's excellent play is closely related. Except for a big clearance in the first 30 seconds, which was not kicked far enough due to Guo Tianyu's interference, giving Taishan a chance to shoot, Han Jiaqi's play in the whole game can be described as perfect.
In the first half, Xu Xin's powerful shot from outside the penalty area was deflected off the crossbar by Han Jiaqi. Before the end of the first half, Wu Xinghan's header, Han Jiaqi also held firmly. In the second half, Guo Tianyu's header, teammate Jiang Jihong's header in front of the goal turned into a scuffed goal, and Han Jiaqi reacted quickly to put the ball over the crossbar from close range. Before the end of the Fellaini and Guo Tianyu consecutive headers, Han Jiaqi did not pounce, but his interference caused Fellaini's header off target.
Han Jiaqi, who made many saves, kept the city goal intact with his excellent play throughout the game. For Guangzhou City, who conceded 7 goals in the first 5 games, it was at least a more successful game in defense, which increased the team's confidence for the next games.
Han Jiaqi had just celebrated his 22nd birthday in 1999, and in

The goalkeeper can be said to be one of the most outstanding performers. Opposite him in this game stood the national goalkeeper Wang Dalei, and I believe that his bright performance also gave this big brother a deep impression. For his outstanding play, Han Jiaqi said modestly after the game that he just did some extensive training during the break, especially strengthening the physical training. If he can continue to play well, he is very hopeful to be brought to the Top 12 to feel the atmosphere.
Next week, the city of Canton will face two tests that will determine its future destiny.
The opponents of Guangzhou City's two matches in the coming week are Henan Songshan Longmen and Guangzhou team. Henan just beat Qingdao 2-0 in this round with one player sent off at halftime to get their first win of the season, and they are in good shape with four points in two games since the league resumed. Plus, Henan has a tradition of "specializing in all kinds of disobedience".
It is not easy for Guangzhou City to take down Henan team. Guangzhou, needless to say, is always the most watched game in the city derby, and this season's Guangzhou is no longer the invincible eight-champion team of the past. Guangzhou City will definitely want to win the derby.
Although the results of these next two matches will not determine whether Guangzhou City can finally enter the top 4, these two matches will definitely affect Guangzhou City's future direction. If they can get at least 1 win, Guangzhou City has a very good chance to enter the top 4.
