On the 7th, this season's China First Division League ended its third round of matches. Before the season, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu shouted the slogan of transcendence, and was regarded as one of the super favorites. 6 afternoon, he drew 1-1 away from the promotion horse Yanbian Long Ding, finally got the first point of the new season. At present, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu is still tied with Jiangxi Lushan in the bottom two of the table with 3 battles, 1 draw, 2 losses and 1 point. From the first battle last season, a step away from beyond, to three rounds of victory this year, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu seems to have hit the "second grade wall". This team encountered what difficulties?
Supplementing the CFL hopefully brings disruption.
Among all the Chinese Super League and Chinese First Division teams, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu is the first team to start preparations for the 2023 season. Just after the New Year's Day holiday, the whole team completed the assembly and went to Yunnan to start training. In this regard, the club has said that it is necessary to make up for the hard work and the stupid bird fly first. Before and after the start of the league, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu conducted four training sessions, returning to Shijiazhuang from Guangdong, staying in Shanghai and Tianjin, and playing several warm-up matches with local teams. The entire preparation cycle has spanned three and a half months. In terms of training time and preparation attitude, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu was not well prepared, but the team was confused about this when the league started to end.
In fact, combing through Shijiazhuang Kung Fu's pre-season preparation stage, it is not difficult to realize that if there is no hope of making up for the Chinese Super League, it will actually bring a great deal of disruption to this team, both in terms of preparation mentality and the development of the preparatory work will be greatly affected. First of all, in terms of signing, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Club's signing has been in a wait-and-see situation, because the signing rules of China A and the Chinese Super League are different, and the level of foreign aid in the two leagues is obviously different.
Although the entire team trained early, most of the new recruits joined the team at the end of March, except for Bu Xin, who joined the team after New Year's Day, and foreigner Ayovi, who joined at the beginning of March. The CFA officially announced the list of access to the third tier before the negotiations, and it was officially finalized two weeks before the start of the tournament. Ogbu and Zhao Mingjian even joined the team just a week before the start of the tournament. Among the newly joined players, many of whom are the team's starters or rotating starters, participated in the cooperative training too late, greatly reducing the effectiveness of the team's long-term training. In this regard, a responsible person of the club said, "If you refer to the standard of the Chinese Super League, the club will consider adding a foreign midfielder and a foreign midfielder, but one."
Judging from the team's performance in the first three rounds, Ogbu, who joined Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic in the second half of last season and played well, has not regained his confrontational power or impact power to the level he deserves.
The possibility of this "Schrödinger's complement" can also be reflected in a small matter of Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Club's troubles. According to the rules of the Football Association, the jerseys of the Chinese Super League clubs are provided by the official sponsors, while the jerseys of the Chinese First Division clubs can find their own partners. Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Club's jersey supplier is a Dalian enterprise. If the team is able to supplement the Chinese Super League, the cooperation between the two parties will naturally end. If the supplement fails, the latter can produce jerseys for the new season. Therefore, when the boots upstairs finally hit the ground to enter the list, the new season jerseys were not ready in time for the opening game, so what many people did not notice was that Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team in the first round of the game.
