national security
The match will be postponed, therefore, after a 1-1 draw with
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
After that, Rivera has completed all of the first stage of the tournament.
With two wins and two draws in four games, eight points and undefeated, the Riverhounds have reason to be proud.
The best of the mid-tier powerhouses
If we make a comprehensive assessment of the strength of the teams at this stage, Shanghai Harbor, Beijing
national security
, Guangzhou team, Shandong Taishan,
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
and Shenzhen are undoubtedly the six strongest teams, and their strength should not be underestimated.
After four rounds, Taishan leads the overall standings with 10 points, while Shanghai Harbor and
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
both with 8 points, Guangzhou and Shenzhen both with 7 points, Beijing
national security
6 points. Hebei, also with 8 points, has become an "alternative team".
Strength not to be underestimated despite favorable factors
Although Hebei dominated the favorable terrain factor, the match against Shenhua also proved that Hebei did not just rely on the terrain advantage to gain so many points.
The best of the best in terms of potential
If you do a comprehensive assessment of the other teams outside of the current top 6, the Riverhounds may be one of the three strongest teams out of the remaining 10.
Balanced lineup structure
A major advantage of the Hebei team is that the team's three lines have no obvious shortcomings, unlike other teams, often "top-heavy" or "two big in the middle of small".
Solid front line, strong midfield
Up front, Malcolm is the centerpiece of the Riverhounds' attack and ensures the team's basic attacking power. However, the Hebei team actually lacks a blitz-type striker. With many foreigners unable to return, coupled with the difficulties faced by the club, having Malcolm has been able to basically guarantee the team's attacking power.
In the midfield, Yin Hongbo has first-class strength among domestic players and has now become a shadow striker. Wang Qiuming has delicate skills and has gradually adapted to the roles of back and center forward; Paulinho has also performed very well and is skillful, with his average key passes tied for fourth in the Chinese Super League and his breakthrough ability tied for eleventh in the Chinese Super League; Cernus, though not much in the way of highlights, has his average passes ranked second in the Chinese Super League; and Hu Rentian, who has gradually begun to get chances to play and score goals, is a former international footballer and a former mainstay of the National Youth Football League.
Strong backline
The back line of Zhang Chengdong, Memishevich, Pan Ximing is the Hebei team's three major players, of which Memishevich is the team's most outstanding performance of the foreign aid, Zhang Chengdong's strength needs no elaboration, Pan Ximing excellent physical quality, strong defense, and Memishevich formed a good partner, unfortunately, Ding Haifeng unfortunate injury. The goalkeeper position of Ji Wenyi overall performance is also good.
The starting lineup is trustworthy
Hebei's starting lineup is trustworthy, and their biggest problem is a relatively weak bench, but the young players are playing well overall, even reassuringly. 24 year old Cui Lin is the highlight of Hebei's young players, and u23s at the wingback position, Mou Xuchen and Liao Wei, are also getting a lot of chances. In the match against
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
In the match, the side where Cui Lin and Mou Xuchen are located, in the duel with the opponent Zhang Lu guarded side, put the opponent in a serious crisis, Hebei team's share of the left side of the attack as high as 39.3%.
The fundamental guarantee of strength
The strength of the team is the foundation for such an achievement. From this point of view, Hebei team is definitely in the middle or upper middle of the Super League as well. Of course, how to utilize the strength of the team involves many levels, but Hebei has done a good job in terms of head coach and team cohesion.
Team cohesion is strong
Let's start with a very important point, which is that Rivera is very cohesive right now.
Previously Hebei team attracted many international players, and top big-name foreign aid, but the team's performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad, playing well no problem, playing not good will seem very loose. If you think about it, you can find out the reason: many new players must face the problem of integration, which involves two kinds of integration, one is the technical and tactical integration, and the other is the integration of the team's internal cohesion, the first one is relatively simple, and the latter one is very difficult to integrate. At that time, the Hebei team introduced the players, although they are all international players, but the ability is relatively average, it is very easy to appear "their own war" phenomenon - who can not establish a real authority in the team, especially on the field, play well everything is good, play not good, it is very likely to appear! No one listens to anyone's situation, the previous Hebei team manager has talked about the team's lack of motivation.
The team structure is gradually becoming more pure
As the Hebei team began to cut back on expenses, the team also began a comprehensive restructuring, many well-known players gradually left, the team structure gradually become pure up. Now the Hebei team's international players are only left Zhang Chengdong and Yin Hongbo, Zhang Chengdong himself is a Hebei native, Yin Hongbo is even more grateful, the reason why he renewed his contract with the club at the bottom salary, the meaning is very clear: the club in the past four years for the I have paid a lot, but I have not been able to return the club well, now the club has difficulties, it is the time for me to return the club.
Simple and cohesive structure
The structure of the current team is very simple and pure: firstly, there are two veterans, Zhang Chengdong and Yin Hongbo, as the core of the back and front, secondly, there are middle-aged players like Wang Qiuming and Pan Ximing, and more local players are young, so the clear structure can naturally shape the cohesion and motivation in a simpler way. Foreign aid Memishevich is a "model worker" and deserves respect.
Reasons for miracles
The reason for the resulting spectacle comes out: the Hebei Salon, despite the difficulties it is now experiencing, has a relatively regular lineup and a relatively simple lineup structure, so it's simpler to play combat.
Head Coach Jong-Oh Kim Recognized
As far as the head coach is concerned, Jin Jongfu is now widely recognized. It must be said that the current Hebei team, I'm afraid, is not yet the Hebei team in Jin Jongfu's mind, because he made it clear in an interview with this reporter at the beginning of the season that, due to the relatively short time, he is more in the technical and tactical aspects of some adjustments.
Tactics and fitness are the focus
After the match with Shenhua, Jin Jongfu talked about the direction of the team's transformation, although there are some parts of the technical and tactical needs to be improved, but the team's main problem is that the physical condition is not particularly good, so the break will be the technical and tactical and physical as a key breakthrough in the direction. The break will last for about 5 weeks, so Jin has enough time to strengthen the team's physical fitness.
Facing the subsequent matches, Hebei must be prepared for difficulties, the important reason is that Hebei now has relatively little room to improve in terms of the lineup (Yatai as well), while Wuhan, Qingdao and other teams have more room to improve, at least Baptiste Tang and Alessandrini have returned. In the future, if the Brazilian foreign aid can still return, the strength of other teams will grow even further, which will undoubtedly continue to increase the difficulties of the Hebei team.
Work on your own strengths
Therefore, the 4 rounds of undefeated Hebei team can not have the slightest relaxation, desperately practicing physical fitness may be the best way for them to improve themselves.
