The third round of the Chinese Super League has begun. Several teams performed surprisingly well in the first two rounds. For example, the top three teams in the league last season, defending champion Wuhan Sanzhen, drew 1 and lost 1 in the first two rounds, runner-up Shandong Taishan drew 1 and lost 1, while the third-place finisher Zhejiang lost both battles. These three teams ranked in the top three last season and the first two this season.
Therefore, the results of the third round of matches are especially important. Among them, Shandong Taishan hosts Zhejiang, and there will be a wound between the two Tigers. Defending champion Wuhan Three Town is away to challenge Meizhou Hakka. Judging from the situation, Wuhan Three Town is the most difficult to win. The reason is simple. Their two foreigners and one international player haven't recovered yet. Secondly, the team has introduced many new players and the team needs time to gel.
Wuhan Sanzhen were the first to get into trouble at the start of the match, when newcomer Yan Dinghao exploded into a superb world wave in the 38th minute to help his team take a 1-0 lead on the road. However, before Sanzhen's fans could be happy, the score was equalized. In the 41st minute of the match, Meizhou Hakka's foreign aid Dujalić scored with a reverse shot from inside the penalty area to make the score 1-1.
After the score returned to a tie, the two sides were once again in a stalemate. Wuhan Sanzhen created a lot of chances with their strength and advantage, but couldn't shoot. Meizhou Hakka counterattacked beautifully too, even hitting the post, but no goal either. Just when everyone thought the game would end in a draw, there was a man who killed it, and he killed the game outright. That player was Xie Pengfei, a popular international player.
It was the 92nd minute of the game, Edmilson scored, Xie Pengfei scored and then blasted a right-footed shot from a small angle into the near corner of the goal, making the score 2-1! Wuhan Sanzhen won in the last minute, which was a standard shutout. And Xie Pengfei became the hero of the team, at this moment, he shines more than any foreigner in the team.
In fact, in the eyes of many fans, it's no surprise that Xie Pengfei has been able to perform as well as he has. As early as last season, we found Xie Pengfei showing some signs of enlightenment. Before that, whether he was a Suning or a Cangzhou Lion, Xie Pengfei worked well with foreigners. However, last season, it was a different story for him at Wuhan's Sanzhen team. He has integrated into the foreign aid system and become an important member of the system. He can work well with the foreign aiders and the foreign aiders will work with him. That's why he was able to score 8 goals and earn 9 assists last season.
When Xie Pengfei returned to the national team earlier this year, he also performed well in two matches in New Zealand. He was more confident in his ball breaks and dared to play on his own. Xie Pengfei also scored a goal in the Super Cup before the league started, helping his team beat Shandong Taishan to win the title.
So now Xie Pengfei has really found his best way to play through the game, and as his performances continue to improve, his self-confidence has grown considerably, and his star quality has become more and more apparent. As a result, today Xie Pengfei can be used completely as a foreign aid in the Chinese Super League, sometimes even better than a foreign aid.
In fact, Xie Pengfei's outburst is mainly due to the accumulation of quality games. We believe that many young players are not less talented than Xie Pengfei, but they lack quality games. If one day our Chinese soccer solves the problem of young players' games, maybe our Chinese soccer can go to the next level. What do you think?
