Even in the second half of the double-high combination of bombardment of Guangzhou City, but Guo Tianyu and Fellaini missed a few good header opportunities particles, Taishan team in the league after the resumption of the first 0-0 boring draw. To a certain extent, this reflects that Taishan's high-altitude tactics have become a clear-cut and targeted defense by opponents, and it will be more and more difficult to score in the future. In the face of the intensive schedule, the bench depth of the best Taishan advantage is obvious, from the course of the game, solve the problem of offense, is the key to this season's Taishan team to compete for the title.
For the first game after the league resumed, Hao Wei almost continued his usual starting lineup from before, except that Fellaini was put on the bench. Leonardo, who was said to be getting back to form during the break, played on the left and right wingers with Wu Xinghan and Guo Tianyu in the center. Xu Xin, Sun Zhunhao and Jin Jingdao are in the center of the midfield. In defense, Wang Tong replaced Ji Xiang on the right, Zheng Zheng and Shi Ke formed the center back, and Song Long was on the left. From this starting point, Hao Wei is still the main attack, the three midfielders belong to the type of attacking and defending, organizing the attack at the same time, but also for the back line to share the pressure.
Guangzhou City, which used to be good at attacking, faced Taishan in this game, but it was a bit of turtle defense, especially for Taishan's high center tactics, they did not hesitate to use two defenders to suppress the opponent's attack. This move did play a certain role, but it allowed Guangzhou City to hand over the initiative on the field. Taishan firmly grasped the advantage on the field, and even if they lost the ball in the positional battle, the midfield quickly counter-attacked to kill the counter-attack intention of the opponent. However, Guangzhou City's defense in the penalty area was too dense, and the threatening shots came from Xu Xin's long-distance shooting. Leonardo had a chance to break through with a corner kick in the first half, but VAR confirmed that a handball foul was committed first.
As a result of the long attack on the Taishan team in the second half of the opening not long after the replacement of Fellaini to strengthen the high point of the penalty area, this change allows Taishan attack to speed up the tempo significantly, header in the penalty area to attack the goal of the opportunity to be a lot more. However, probably due to the heat of the weather on the two teams to consume more, Taishan Guo Tianyu and Fellaini several good header opportunities, are not formed to score. Although Guangzhou City once used the individual ability of foreigners to pose a threat to Taishan, it did not have the same attacking force as before. Hao Wei in the final stage of the game sent Liu Binbin and Artemisia Junmin and other international players, but the game is still in the dull to 0-0 end.
Perhaps affected by the FIFA virus, with seven internationals in the squad as well as three powerful foreigners, they still failed to take down Guangzhou City. Leonardo had a controversial goal disallowed, but his overall performance was moderate. South Korean international Sun Junho seems to have lost a lot of form since his return from the World Cup, and he didn't have a bright performance when he played the whole game. Kim Kyung-do, the captain of the team, played better than Oh Heung-han, but there were a few passes that were a bit confusing. These two starting internationals didn't allow the team to put together a great offense in the first half. Substitute international players Ji Xiang, Liu Binbin and Artemisia Junmin can only be said to be moderate. Maybe this all stems from Taishan's killer aerial advantage in the game mute.
If Guo Tianyu hardly got any good chances on goal in the first half, then Fellaini came out in the second half to share the pressure for him, allowing Guo Tianyu to have more space. But even though Fellaini and Guo Tianyu had at least five good header chances, all of them were either deflected or high. Compared to last season and even before the break, Taishan's heading power has dropped too much. This may have something to do with Guangzhou City's intensive defense in the penalty area, but if future opponents follow suit, it's a bit worrying that Taishan will be in such a state to cope with the upcoming matches.
With Leonardo's average individual ability not being able to solve the game on his own, Taishan's offense relied more on Guo Tianyu as well as Fellaini's overhead advantage to solve the problem. However, nowadays

Almost all teams recognize this advantage of Taishan team very clearly, and Guangzhou City did very well in the targeted defense of this game. In the opponent's dense defense Taishan team's high bombing did not blossom, and worse, the combination of Leonardo and Guo Tianyu in the first half was not as effective as the double high combination in the second half, which presented Taishan team with the problem of how to score.
this season

Torn apart by the World Qualifiers, the giants have also scaled back their spending to cope with the league's cold winter. The relatively stable Taishan team ushered in a good opportunity to compete for the title, however, after the league resumed, they played their first 0-0 boring draw. This undoubtedly gave Hao Wei a wake-up call, in order to make a difference, must solve the problem of offense.
