Deficiencies in both offense and defense: Although Guoan had the upper hand in possession and shots, the offensive results were not up to par. The strikers' ability to seize chances is limited, and the midfielders have shortcomings in passing and organization.
Mental Fluctuation: Against a comparable opponent, Guoan's players appeared to be too impatient on the field, with their emotions fluctuating. This kind of mentality instability adversely affects the players' performance and the team's overall posture.
Individual players in low form: Some players performed poorly during the game, such as Ngaardew's mistakes that led to lost points, and strikers such as Zhang Yuning failed to play at the expected level on the offensive end.
The winning recipe for Shenzhen's new Pengcheng:
Solid defense: Shenzhen Xinpengcheng performed well on the defensive end, with goalkeeper Wei Strider repeatedly pouncing on dangerous balls, effectively fending off Guoan's attacks.
Rapid Counterattack: New Pengcheng grasped the loopholes in Guoan's defense, quickly counterattacked and efficiently converted into goals. Edu Garcia's penalty kick is the best proof of the team's ability to counterattack quickly.
Teamwork Spirit: New Pengcheng players demonstrated excellent teamwork in the game, both in offense and defense, and were able to work together silently to form an effective synergy.
Beijing Guoan What's the way forward:
Reflection and Improvement: In the face of this defeat, Guoan needs to reflect deeply and learn from the lessons, the following aspects need to be optimized urgently:
Strengthening defense: Guoan urgently needs to improve the stability of the defense, reduce errors and holes, and enhance the sense of coordination and fill in between players.
Improve the quality of the attack: Guoan needs to strengthen the attack with the accuracy of the pass, improve the ability of the striker to grasp the opportunity, while strengthening the organization and scheduling of the midfield to create more offensive opportunities.
Adjustment of mindset: players need to remain calm and focused, avoid impatience leading to errors out of control, and strengthen the development of psychological quality to enhance stress resistance and self-confidence.
Cultivate new blood: Guoan should pay attention to the cultivation of young players, injecting the team's vitality and creativity. At present, the team's main players are older, and the overall condition is declining. It is necessary to improve the skills of young players through the game and training to accelerate their growth and take over the baton for the team's future.
Conclusion: This loss is a severe test for Guoan, but also provides valuable experience. Guoan needs to reflect deeply and make positive adjustments to meet the challenges. In addition, the team's form is unstable after head coach Suarez's injury. We expect him to recover soon to help Guoan restore stability.
