Facing the Odds.
With the return of big-name foreigners and many naturalized players, it has become an open secret that the strength of the Guangzhou team has clearly declined. For this Guangzhou team, which is led by a young coach and featuring young players, competing for the championship has become a distant dream, and it seems more realistic to keep the current ranking. Although Guangzhou's management and coaches expressed their determination to rise to the challenge before the game, the performance of the game shows that this Guangzhou team has lost the elegance of a strong team.

Also facing an unfavorable situation, even with Augusto, Bieira and other strong aid return, the team can only tighten the silver root. In this game, Beijing only sent Anderson Silva, a foreign aid, his performance was mediocre, and was eventually replaced in the 85th minute.
Even against such an opponent, Guangzhou could not avoid a bitter loss. Wei Shihao, Yan Dinghao and Zhang Xiuwei all had good chances, but their goal-scoring efficiency was still a bit off compared to Paulinho, Gaolat and Ackerson.
It was a relatively uneventful game, with both teams making a number of errors and the pace of the game being disrupted. Had it not been for Zhang Yuning's brilliant strike at the end of the game, the two teams would have probably ended in a draw.
Despite the players' efforts, Wei Shihao had twice created chances for his teammates and got a great one-two chance himself, but all three shots ended up off target. And Beijing

Anderson Silva, who is clearly not yet fully integrated into the game, saw his shot at an open goal darted away by Guangzhou defender Wu Shaocong.

At one time, the "Battle of Beijing and Guangdong" was undoubtedly

's signature tournament. Shao Jiayi had completed a free-kick shutout on Guangzhou's devilish home turf, while Guangzhou had also beaten their opponents 3-1 at Beijing's Gongti Stadium to take away the trophy. Even just a year ago, the two teams played in the

The semifinals of the championship group featured two summit clashes: a 0-0 game in which both sides hit the goal box several times, and one in which Guangzhou finished with a 3-1 victory.
In last season's lineups of both teams, Guangzhou had "killer apps" like Paulinho and Talisca, while Beijing had a "killer app" for the first time.

Instead, there was the golden combination of Augusto, Bieira, and Bakambu, and the two teams' attacking battles were a treat for the fans. However, only a year later, the once passionate scenes no longer exist, replaced by a boring game and no highlights of the offense and defense.
For Guangzhou, the result of the game is no longer important, and the fans only want to accompany this team with a glorious history to finish this season's journey. From this game, we can see that this international team still has some fighting power, but that seems to be all.
The dullness of the Beijing-Guangdong battle also maps the
