The gloom of three consecutive defeats hangs over the Guangzhou team taken over by El Salvador, with only one win in four games, and the morale of the team has fallen to the bottom. In contrast to the winning streak during the honeymoon period, the team now seems to have fallen into an abyss. In the arena, the aura of victory can cover everything, but a loss will attract criticism. With 17 points, Guangzhou is just one step away from the relegation zone, and could repeat the same mistake if they are not careful. The alarm is sounding and the situation is critical!
The loss against Sichuan Jiuniu, followed by the defeat of Qingdao West Coast, and the next face of Guangxi Pingguo Ha Rang, are not the strongest rivals in the Central League table. Objectively speaking, Guangzhou's overall strength is not enough to compete with these opponents - the loss is a reflection of strength and helplessness. Against Sichuan Jiuniu, the hosts controlled the tempo and created a lot of threatening attacks, while Guangzhou was always passive, failing to play at their own level, losing the tempo, and ultimately surrendering the victory. Regardless of how many foreign aiders the opponent has, this is not the only factor.
The gap in strength between the Guangzhou team and several super teams is obvious, and it is not something that can be bridged by spirit. The lack of strength, the lack of strong personnel, and the lack of battle-enhancing generals to join the team make it difficult to increase strength quickly. I do not believe that other factors alone can fill the gap. This is the universal law of competitive sports, which cannot be violated. Losing the initiative of Guangzhou players, the morale is difficult to boost, how to maintain the fighting spirit, maintain the existing accumulation, has become a major problem.
More than half of the people who have watched a Central League game should have some idea of their own level. In the arena, teamwork and tactics to suppress the opponent to win is often the ideal state. However, the reality is often dull, the game lacks excitement, and the decision is often made by players with stronger individual ability, especially foreign aid. Teams that outclass teams have powerful foreigners and rely on their individual abilities to solve problems and win games.
But the reality is that Guangzhou team lacks foreign aid to realize all this! The team is full of players with outstanding individual abilities, but with their current strengths, they are far from being at the level of powerful foreigners. With their limited ability to solve battles individually and their limited ability to score goals, they cannot yet be relied upon to win in the Central League! This is the reality, don't want to admit it, but must accept it.
At this moment, there is no point in criticizing the players and coaches too much. Don't they want to win? It's just a matter of strength. As long as there is improvement in the future, it is enough to fulfill the goal of the season. No one wants to see consecutive defeats, but the losses have been to strong opponents. The difference in strength is obvious, not a lack of effort. Excessive accusations from fan friends, lack of facts, fantasy locker room issues, have had all sorts of unholy results...
