In the past semi-final of the AFC Cup, Harbour Team demonstrated its explosive power by scoring six goals in two consecutive rounds of matches with its high-pressure situation and precise ball breaks in front of the field to launch a quick counter-attack. However, when the opponents showed high quality defense, or even efficient counterattacks from defense to attack, it became crucial for Harbour Team to effectively cut off the opponent's organization in the first time. This dilemma was exposed in the teaching matches against other teams and the losses in the league. If they want to make a strong impact on the championship in the second stage of the league, Harbour Team needs to further improve their strength.
Tomorrow, the Seaport will face Beijing Guoan at the Yuan Shen Sports Center in the last teaching match before the league restarts. Although Guoan only has one foreigner left, the return of local players such as Ji Zhongguo, Zhang Xunzhe, Zhang Yuning, Wang Gang, Li Lei and Yu Dabao will undoubtedly significantly enhance their fighting strength. Although the two sides have met twice in this year's league and Harbor is undefeated, Harbor's foreign aid lineup is more complete compared to Guoan's, especially since Guoan just let go of Bakambu, whose contract expired, and there are rumors that some clubs are interested in him, which could affect Guoan's strength.
After the instructional match, the Harbour team will leave for Guangzhou on Friday to prepare for the first match of the second stage of the league against Shenzhen, who have strong foreign players such as Quintero and Caldecott.
