Taiwan's Chen Hao Wei kept his composure in front of the goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the goal to make the score 1-0.This goal gave Dongguan Guanlian a lead at home!
After that, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu tried to counter-attack, but the Guanlian players executed the tactical arrangement of the head coach brilliantly. The backline, including Zhang Xunwei and Raoul, always maintained a solid defense and managed to defuse dangerous situations several times.
When the whistle blew for the end of the match, Dongguan Guanlian beat Shijiazhuang Kungfu 1-0, making it three consecutive victories in the Central League, and the whole team felt very energized as a result!
Embracing its first season in the Central League, this young team has been overcoming all kinds of difficulties since the preparation stage, from struggling in the relegation zone at the beginning to achieving three consecutive victories and securing a top six position in the Central League, only those who really fight for the team can understand that it is not easy.
Prior to this match, the DWU team was experiencing a lack of personnel. The game was destined to be very tough for the players. Nevertheless, the team ended up with a surprising 3 points at home. Shijiazhuang might have problems such as lack of preparation or poor form, but the Dwan United team performed much better in front of a strong opponent.
With a score of 1-0, the Dongguan team took a group photo with the fans of the game, a scene that will be remembered forever in the history of Dongguan soccer!
As a team entering the Central League for the first time, this team is still relatively unknown to the outside world. At the beginning of the season, Dongguan was the youngest team among the 32 Central League and Chinese Super League clubs.
Who had expected that after 20 rounds of matches, Dongguan Youth had achieved 8 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses, totaling 30 points of excellent results, ranking sixth in the table, only behind the leading team!
The team's initial goal was to finish relegation in the Central League while hoping to stay in the Central League next season. Through the joint efforts of the head coach and players, the team has achieved 6 wins and 2 draws in the past 10 rounds of matches, accumulating 20 points. This excellent performance has already attracted much attention and appreciation from the outside world.
The current Dongguan team is known for a solid style of play that makes it hard to imagine that this is a new team in the Central League made up of young players. Under the leadership of head coach Wang Hongwei, the tacit understanding between players is getting better and better, and they don't seem to be low on momentum even when facing the veteran teams of the Central League.
The new generation of young players showed confidence while some of the veterans played the important role of bringing up the new with the old. It is both heartening and gratifying to see the former national football stars and the team working closely together, going all out for every point, and showing a work style that is determined to win.
In the four rounds of matches in mid-August, Dongguan won three victories. This is attributed to Coach Wang Hongwei and his team's proper lineup integration and careful planning of pre-match tactics for the team. Currently, he has become the most competitive candidate for the best coach in the Central League in August.
For the team to achieve a good record, it does not just depend on the efforts of the coaches and players on the field. According to Wang Hongwei, it depends on the trust of the investors, the unity of the club and the dedication of the players, and only this synergy can ensure that the team can develop stably in the long run.
Dongguan Guanlian was founded in July 2013 as Guangdong Lianghetang Football Club, the only professional soccer team in Dongguan. As a locally rooted and growing team, Dongguan Guanlian has always been committed to training youth players and discovering potential up-and-coming players, so as to establish a perfect youth player promotion system and have a strong reserve of youth players.
Special mention should be made of Dongguan's No. 26 player, Su Shihao, who was also successfully selected for the national team that suits his age. Even though the team had to face tough opponents from all sides in the Central League matches, the coaching staff never forgot to train young players. In the first half of the season, the team had a number of starters who were under the age of 20.
Dongguan Guanlian is getting closer and closer to the goal of relegation in this season's Central League, but the team still needs further improvement and enhancement. We hope that the Dongguan Young Army can maintain their bold and courageous style of play, and play their best on the field without any fear of strong opponents. We also look forward to the next game, Dongguan team can continue to move forward, presenting fans with more exciting matchups!
