China Super League (soccer league)
It finally resumes this Thursday at the start of the season, a little earlier than most teams for Canton, who needed to get into the tournament early to first play their Round 5 bye, and they're on a three-day, one-game devil's journey, with this Sunday's
China Super League (soccer league)
In round 6, they will face Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic.
After two years of Yu Sui battle, in addition to the two teams team name has been different, the formation has a small change, and at this time has completely bid farewell to the foreign aid of the eight champions are facing a great test, in the end, at least to kill into the championship group is their only option.
["Ready for the devil's journey"]
Because of the early training of international players to prepare for the Top 40, the Guangzhou team and the Henan Songshan Longmen
China Super League (soccer league)
The first stage of the 5th round of the competition was postponed, which allowed Cannavaro to leave the closed area hotel early with a big smile on his face. However, it was not to be. Originally estimated to be about a month and a half

During the break, because the national team's World Qualifying Tournament changed the venue, it had to be postponed until mid-July to really finish, which also makes the Guangzhou team before and after the two rounds of competition as much as 67 days apart.
On the other hand, despite the extension of the
China Super League (soccer league)
, is now no longer in conflict with the AFC Champions League East Asian group stage, which begins at the end of June, but because it continues to be played outside of the country in a tournament system, players participating in the tournament are required to undergo a 21-day blocked quarantine on their return home, in order to cope with the resumption of the
China Super League (soccer league)
The Guangzhou team had to send a team of young soldiers to fight, and the "Tigers" tried their best, but only 6 consecutive defeats to the group out of the end.
In this regard, Cannavaro also unable to indicate: "the most satisfied is that each player has done 100% of their best, no one because of the results of the competition and depressed antagonism, each player is very hard, but there is no way, we must send such a formation to face the arrangement of the journey."
Faced with a full two-month break, Cannavaro only gave the first team a few days off, and assembled from scratch at the base in mid-May to begin practicing in preparation for the aftermath.

Competition, despite the practice started early, but the eight champions need to face is still a shortage of personnel, in addition to due to injury early withdrawal of training Fernando, Guangzhou team other six international players are deeply involved in the
national soccer team
The final three 40 matches, and previously promoted into the first team of the 11 young players, some people like Yang Dejiang, Zhang Zhihao, etc. transferred in to play the U21 League and the AFC Championship, Wang Shilong and Hou Yu and other players were elected to all levels of the National Youth League, to stay in the Panyu base to practice the first-team players, only fifteen or sixteen left.
Despite the small number of people, but the marshal has always emphasized the high intensity of the practice, the quality did not pull down. Before the break, the manager said that the team's problem is the lack of intensity in some parts of the competition, so the team's main point in the break is also to do enough preparation in physical fitness. However, compared to the winter training relatively suitable climate, the entire summer training Guangzhou team are in high humidity and high heat Panyu base. A player said: this interval every day in practice, equivalent to the practice of another preparation period.
The Guangzhou team's international players also returned to the team on July 8 after completing the quarantine of the barrier, after a short vacation into the joint practice. Yan Dinghao said in the pre-match conference against Henan: "We had a warm-up match before entering the tournament, we are in good condition and are ready for the devil's journey."
["Rotation is more important"]
The biggest news for Guangzhou throughout the summer has naturally been the departures of Paulinho and Talisca.
Because of the new crown epidemic tyranny, stranded in Brazil for half a year, "Pota" combination, on May 18 and June 20 have to transfer and negotiate the method of termination of the contract, formally separated from the Guangzhou team, since then the eight champions of the team no longer have any foreign players, in the summer window to continue to maintain the "only out of not into the" situation. In the summer window continue to maintain the "only out not in" situation, the Guangzhou team also formally cross into the era of all Chinese class.
"Bao Ta" combination of Guangzhou team and Cannavaro, like the mountaineering when the walking stick, and now the boots are now on the ground, the Italians can no longer expect them to return to the king, China's players need to bear all the responsibility.
From the first stage of the first four games have been able to see, the lack of Paulinho and Talisker's Guangzhou team, regardless of the attack or defense, have lost the absolute advantage of the past, but by virtue of the naturalization of the front of the trident aftermath and the individual ability of other local players, although it is no longer the biggest favorite to compete for the title, but the Guangzhou team faces the middle and lower reaches of the team still has some advantages.
Sunday at 18:00 in the Galaxy Stadium to face into the devil of the second opponent Chongqing two rivers Athletic, in the first phase of the fundamental did not rotate the main formation of Cannavaro, also admitted that in the rhythm of the three days of a game it is necessary to rotate the use of the players, a reasonable distribution of physical, "28 days to play 10 games, the difficulty of the very great, I think it is very important that the players need to rotate or grasp the opportunity to rotate the players is important. I think it's important to rotate players or grasp the opportunity to rotate players is very important. We will definitely see a lot of rotation, not that we do not pay attention to the results of the competition, but that under the premise of ensuring the health of the players, rotation is more important than the results of the competition."
But in most
China Super League (soccer league)
Teams have brought all the players on their 35-man roster to the tournament to cope with the sight of an intensive journey, but Guangzhou is the team with fewer players when they step into the tournament.
The first is the young players on the Guangzhou roster, who are partly in a blocked quarantine period after returning from the AFC Champions League, and partly on the national youth training roster at all levels, and then previously on the
national soccer team
Collective training and then touched the old sufferings strained Fernando, still need time to recover, short-term can not enter the competition. In this regard, Cannavaro also indicated that: "I am most sorry or Fernando, I am very angry about Fernando's work, we are dedicated to let him recover, but perhaps the competition task is different, the national team want to speed up to let him recover, but perhaps it is very unfortunate to be injured from the beginning."

The latest study test for the B coaching license is also confirmed to be unavailable for the first few rounds of the relaunched

Contest.
The good news is that He Chao and Zhang Xiuwei have recovered from their injuries, and Li Xuepeng and Luo Guofu, who have been recovering from injuries for a long time, are also close to returning, which will allow Cannavaro to have more space to choose from in terms of formation. The first phase of the first 4 games, the Italian in the formation selection are maintained in an iron four defenders and three midfield combination, and when the devil into the journey, out of the need for rotation, we will also be about the rate of seeing a different formation of the Guangzhou team to present.
Because of the change in the system, the last time Yu Sui battle back in August 2019, that time Chongqing away 1-1 draw just into the low period of the Guangzhou team, indirectly leading to the aftermath of the card Shuai "class" clouds present. After two years to meet again, the formation of the two teams are no longer in the heyday of the time, for the first four rounds of only two wins in the eight champions, the first phase of the completion of the group into the title contention is necessary to complete the minimum goal, and the three points in front of them is also a must take.
