In tonight's matchup.
China Super League (soccer league)
Guangzhou defeated Henan Songshan Longmen 2-0 in a match of the 12th round of the league in Guangzhou. After the match, Guangzhou's head coach Carnavaro attended the press conference.
In response to the game, Cannavaro commented, "In the first half, our attacking rhythm appeared to be a bit sluggish, and there weren't many threatening passes. Facing the opponent's tight defensive formation, our offense faced a lot of challenges. After we scored in the second half, the pace of the game obviously accelerated, the efficiency of the offense also improved, and the team did a good job of controlling the game."
Today Guangzhou team carried out a certain degree of player rotation, for the future will continue to rotate, Kasai responded: "Our team has been rotating, but the current lineup does not allow us to rotate 11 people a game. I hope the players bite the bullet and persevere to finish this phase of the game. In the midfield, I don't ask much from the players, in the first half we mainly relied on side passes, although the quality of the passes was OK, we didn't get the desired effect."
Then, Kasai recognized Yan Dinghao's performance: "I am very satisfied to bring Yan Dinghao to the Guangzhou team, and his performance doesn't surprise me. In addition to Yan Dinghao's individual ability and style of play on the field, he is also very professional off the field and always gives 100% in training. When I chose him a few years ago, I found something unique about him."
Finally, the manager explained the reason for today's 343 formation: "The previous formation was designed to better match the player Paulinho. When Paulinho was present, we have been using this formation, and he scored many goals under that style of play, and the goal scoring data proves it. But now that Paulinho is gone, we still need to make adjustments based on the current situation. The current 343 formation is one I've used when playing against Parma, so I'm very familiar with it. 343 has a certain riskiness to it, but if the players execute it correctly, it will be a pleasure for both the fans and our players."
