.. After this round of fighting, Wuhan temporarily in the case of one more game, ranked 14th in the league, only one point more than the penultimate Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. After the game, Li Xiaopeng frankly said: "four games without a win does have pressure, but I trust the team in overcoming the difficulties, will usher in the rebound." In addition, Li Xiaopeng also thought that with

The match was the best of Wuhan's four matches in the league so far.
It's hard to change the formation when you're in a situation where you're losing the ball.
Facing Beijing without most of their starters

Wuhan's coaching staff is still not daring to take risks in their formation, insisting on a defensive counterattack. Li Xiaopeng on the starting formation made a large adjustment: Mbia and Carrizo two foreign aid as a double center back, the back waist combination is Ye Chongqiu and Tian Yinong, such a configuration is intended to obstruct Beijing!

In the middle of the penetration of the attack. At the same time, Li Xiaopeng Li line from the back to the front waist, standing in the center of the center of the Evra dead, for its supply of "shells", the side road supplemented by two fast horses Huang Zichang and Fang Hao. Simply from the formation, Li Xiaopeng is an idea, expect through the high intensity defense and fast counterattacks to sneak attack Beijing!

, and then have the time to go for a success.
But the change of formation has not been a miracle effect, the opening only 3 minutes, Mbia because of a defense attention will not be set, tripped Zhang Yuning in the penalty area, gave the opponent a penalty kick. 0-1, Wuhan suggested a counterattack, Evra had a shot hit the post popped out of the bottom line, shocked the opponents in a nightmare. Bilic also said after the game: "the opening 1-0 lead, the players in turn will not play, gave Wuhan team more attacking time."
In the second half, Wuhan replaced Fang Hao with Li Xingqi, who is also a u23 player, in an attempt to change the attack. As a result, only 1 minute into the second half, Bakambu scored another goal to extend the score to 2-0. mentioning the opening of the two halves on the loss of the ball, Li Xiaopeng also quite helplessly said: "the attention of the players still can not be concentrated it."
Might as well try other players.
Four games down, Li Xiaopeng under the Wuhan team in addition to the first game against Hebei and against the
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
The situation gave the fans a surprise outside, the other competition is not shocking. Many of the fans who called for Wuhan team could not hold back their anxiety and raised many questions: why only Li Xingqi and Fang Hao were used in the use of u23 players; why they played

Instead of Akin, at least have a pivot up front to compete; why not put Li Xing in the most threatening position at the back ......
Fans who are concerned about the Wuhan team are genuinely happy for the team and expect the team to get the first win of the season in advance. However, Wuhan team is now facing a lot of practical difficulties, such as Li Chao, Yang Boyu, Liu Yun, etc. due to injury can not debut, coupled with Baptiste Tang and Raphael in the first five rounds can not return to the support, so Li Xiaopeng in the deployment of elasticity, and sometimes have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Li Xiaopeng, talking about the pressure of four rounds of unbearable, convinced to survive this difficult period, the team will be better in the future.
However, under these obscure elements, Li Xiaopeng may be able to change his mind. Whether it is Li Xingqi or Fang Hao on the field, the opponent will target this way of attack, why not change a u23 player to try? In addition, in the midfield, Wang Kai and other players also have a certain strength. 2019 season early, when the team did not have a center available, Guo Tianyu in the various parties pushed into the starting formation, and got a strange effect. Now, Li Xiaopeng might as well be able to try more, perhaps there will be an unexpected harvest.
Next up, Wuhan will face the Tsimshatsui Tigers on May 17th. Currently, it is recognized that the Jinmen Tigers are the 16-team
China Super League (soccer league)
The weakest of the teams in terms of overall strength, this matchup may be the one where Wuhan has the best chance of getting their first win of the season so far.
