On July 30, 2023, Beijing time officially kicked off the 19th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) with the Beijing-Lu clash as night fell. The highly anticipated match was staged at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium in Shandong Province. After a fierce battle, Shandong Taishan defeated Beijing Guoan with an overwhelming advantage of 3-0. It is worth mentioning that even with limited foreign aid, Shandong Taishan's players still performed well and contributed to the victory. After the match, Wang Gang, a player of Guoan team, was depressed when he faced the media interviews, saying that the performance of himself and his teammates was disappointing to the extreme.
As the game came to an end, the players returned to the locker room one after another. Unexpectedly, Wang Gang at this moment bluntly, expressed personal loss and dissatisfaction, this action angered teammate Zhang Chengdong, the two then had a heated conflict, the scene once out of control. At present, the final outcome of this incident is not yet clear. In fact, Wang Gang's words are not without purpose. For Beijing Guoan, the performance of this campaign is really unsatisfactory, facing a single foreign aid out of Shandong Taishan team, they almost fell into passive, unable to form an effective counterattack.
After the game, authorities in the soccer world have expressed their views on the game. They generally agreed that Beijing Guoan lacked the proper fighting spirit in the match, and the 0-3 scoreline undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the players' self-confidence. From a tactical point of view, Shandong Taishan head coach Cui Kangxi's strategic planning clearly surpassed Guoan head coach Luis Suarez, showing more exquisite tactical wisdom.
