The Seaports are like tigers on the offensive end of the field, scoring a staggering 27 goals in 9 games, making them the top of the Chinese Super League table. They have been on fire on the road, scoring 11 goals in two consecutive matches, making them the best on the road. In addition to local star Wu Lei's 10 goals, Brazilian foreign aid Gustavo broke the goal for 4 consecutive games, Argentinean foreign aid Vargas contributed 4 goals, and Oscar also had a good 3 goals. The goals scored by players such as Stanley Wang made the whole team like a flower in full bloom, with full firepower, making the opponents fearful.
Such combat power undoubtedly made any opponent feel great pressure.
Meanwhile, the performance of Yatai is also worth watching. Although the newcomers still need to integrate with each other and their form is a bit slow, their strength is not to be underestimated. In the first 10 rounds, they only won 2, drew 2, and lost 6, but in the last round of rainy battles, they turned back Nantong Jiyun 3-2, ending their undefeated spell of 7 rounds, and giving head coach Xie Hui a victory in his career as a coach of Yatai.
The victory was like a "timely rain", injecting a strong needle for the Yatai team and greatly stimulating the team's morale.
The current Ateneo squad is well rounded and not to be underestimated. Striker Beric, midfield core Serginho, Guilherme and all-round warrior Zui are back in form, and winger Rosic's return from injury has brought new vitality to the team. In addition, players such as Liao Chengjian, Wang Jinxian, Sun Guoliang, Wang Yaopeng and Wang Yu are not bad, and veteran Tan Long even performed well, scoring 4 goals. The team has a reasonable age structure, full of physical strength and vigor, with unlimited potential.
Local coach Xie Hui's teaching philosophy is up-to-date, and his unique tactical style is not to be taken lightly by opponents. He specializes in the "press" tactic, which allows Yatai to maintain a high-pressure situation throughout the game, bringing great pressure to the opponents. However, it also became an obstacle for Harbor to pass and control the ball, affecting the fluency and rhythm of their offense. Nonetheless, the Harbour's backline was not solid, and their attacking strategy required their backline players to press forward aggressively, which often put them at a disadvantage against fast counter-attacks, and slowed down their defense, providing an opportunity for Yatai to break the deadlock. In this duel, Yatai is not without the possibility of a draw at the port.
