in-depth analysis
Only four rounds of the Chinese Super League, the problem of injuries and illnesses will be like a tidal wave, especially in the third and fourth rounds, the injury situation is more serious. It is worth paying attention to is that this wave of injuries and illnesses with the past is different, the past injuries and illnesses are mostly concentrated in the joint ligaments, muscle strains, but this time there are a lot of broken bones and hard injuries.
"This year is really weird, quite a few of our injuries are not muscular injuries but organic lesions such as cracked ribs, ankle sprains and even confrontational injuries like Biela." Beijing Guoan manager Bilic said before the start of the 4th round of the Chinese Super League. More precisely, this year, fracture-type injuries have surpassed ligament injuries and muscle strains, the two most common soccer injuries.
On April 23rd, during the match between Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua, Guoan player Yu Yang was injured in the confrontation, but he played through the match with the injury and took part in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the match, playing three consecutive full games. It was only after the end of the 3rd round that Yu Yang went to the hospital for a checkup, which resulted in the discovery of cracked ribs.
On May 3, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic played against Cangzhou Lions, during the game Cangzhou Lions foreign midfielder Ahmadov was injured due to the conflict, he insisted on playing the whole game, and went to the hospital for checkups after the game, and was diagnosed as having cracked ribs, and is now back in Uzbekistan.
May 9, Henan Songshan Longmen against Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, the fourth minute of the game, Henan foreign striker Toure was injured in the scramble, was replaced off the field after the examination was diagnosed as: a fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal bone of the right foot.
May 10, in the Hebei and Shanghai Shenhua game, Shenhua two players in the scramble injured, the first time after the game two people were sent to the hospital, the examination results show that Peng Xinli right distal fibula fracture; Zeng Cheng two ribs fracture, and accompanied by a mild pneumothorax.
In addition, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger player Li Xiang also suffered a comminuted nose fracture in the first round match with Shanghai Harbor, but the nose fracture didn't affect his subsequent matches too much.
After four rounds, there have been six fracture-type injuries in the Super League, which is still rare in the past.
So why has the CFL suffered so many broken bone injuries this year?
This is not closely related to the team's preparation and individual preparation. Inadequate team and individual preparation is more likely to lead to muscle strains and joint ligament injuries, while fracture-type injuries are often caused by confrontation. Simple example, before the start of the 2020 season of the Chinese Super League, the team's preparation work is intermittent, the preparation is very inadequate, but at that time, the fracture type of injury is not common, more joint ligament and muscle strain type of injury. Therefore, there is a certain degree of chance that this situation occurred in the first four rounds of the 2021 season, and I personally believe that this is the main factor.
But behind the chance, there is also a certain inevitability, this inevitability of the logical connection is this: the quality of the Super League competition declined across the board, especially the technical and tactical level of the overall decline. In this situation, the team's mistakes are many, many times it is the midfield confrontation and entanglement, or one side attacking one side defending, a lot of personnel intensively concentrated in a certain area, and more confrontation, conflict, shoveling, etc., naturally more likely to lead to fracture type of injury. As of the morning of May 11, the CFA Disciplinary Committee has issued a total of 26 new season all kinds of on and off the field disciplinary fines.
The increase in antagonistic conflict shoveling at the same time, the decline in the technical and tactical level of the Chinese Super League, on the one hand, the further loss of high-level foreign aid, on the other hand, the Brazilian epidemic has led to many Brazilian foreign aid can not come to China, although the Chinese Super League teams also put together a number of foreign aid, but a number of foreign aid from the introduction of the team from the Central League, completely make up the number.
The most affected by this wave of injuries are Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan and Cangzhou Lions.
First look at Shanghai Shenhua, Zeng Cheng is the team's main goalkeeper, Peng Xinli is the team's main midfielder, Zeng Cheng if absent, Shenhua team also has a replacement goalkeeper Li Shuai, but Li Shuai this year is already 39 years old, although experience, awareness, technology are not a problem, but by the physical limitations of the remedial ability is still a certain decline. As for Peng Xinli, now Shenhua's main midfielder, the state is also very good, his injury also makes the team's midfield affected.
The situation of Cangzhou Lions is worse, Ahmadov is the core foreign aid of the team, under his drive, Cangzhou Lions once showed a strong midfield control, the first three games Cangzhou Lions' possession rate ranked second in the Chinese Super League, second only to Beijing Guoan, but after Ahmadov's injury, the team's midfield control slipped significantly.
Guoan's centerpiece foreigner Augusto did not return originally, and Bieira's injury has affected the team even more, in addition, Yu Yang also suffered a serious injury, while Kim Min Ja has returned home to South Korea. However, Guoan has been performing well recently, not only winning two consecutive matches, but also minimizing the loss of Kim Min-jae's departure because of the postponement of the 4th round.
Have to say a few words about the national football team, Zeng Cheng is the latest phase of the national team members, after he fractured his ribs, the national team will certainly have to re-draft the goalkeeper, and now look at the goalkeeper available for selection is mainly Wang Dalei, Housen, as for Han Jiaqi, if the daily training may be drafted, but this time to prepare for the 40 strong tournament, the young Han Jiaqi may not be drafted.
Of course, some people talk about, the national football team early training, is to worry about the injury problem of the international players, which may be a reason for the decision of the relevant decision makers, but in fact, more injuries were produced in the 4th round, including Ahmadov, despite the fact that the injury was injured in the 3rd round, but it was announced before the 4th round of the tournament, and at the moment the decision of the national football team to advance the training has been introduced, and in the first three rounds, injuries are still maintained at a normal level.
