After ten rounds of the Chinese Super League, only three teams, including Chengdu Rongcheng, remain undefeated. With two consecutive victories at home, Rongcheng climbed to the second place in the table. Standing at the crucial point of one-third of the season, they have already reached their target. However, the team's preparation in reinforcements and winter training could have been better, but unfortunately, several matches that should have been won ended in draws. With the blessing of the "Devil's Home Stadium", Rongcheng should set a higher standard.
The city of Rongcheng has been a bright spot in the Chinese Super League this season. Home tickets are hard to find, the "concert" after the match has become a unique landscape of the league, and the interactive activities at halftime also show the good intentions of the district and the club.
As newcomers to the Premier League, Rongcheng are full of respect for the season. During the winter training phase, they completed their signings quickly and strengthened key positions. This year, they have the best staffing, game content and even results in the top four.
Hibiscus, which is on fire in the midfield and frontcourt, is the Super League's goal-scoring leader as of the 28th. Felipe, Kim Yau and Eckerson combined to contribute four goals, while Romulo scored three goals and dished out eight assists, leading the Super League in both assists and key passes.
Hibiscus' undefeated record is naturally no surprise. This lineup is quite competitive in the Chinese Super League, and they showed what they should be.
The consensus of the season target top three, from the coach to the players, Hibiscus is full of confidence. From personnel to winter training, they have the cards; compared to last year, the team is more mature.
With 20 points in 10 rounds, Hibiscus is currently in second place, which is in line with the season goal. But they have the potential to create more points.
Players generally agreed that the new season was more challenging and demanding than last season, with twists and turns inevitable. Hibiscus suffered three consecutive draws before winning two in a row, opening their record but failing to sustain it, with a lack of consistency leading to points lost.
Seo Jung Won made adjustments to the offense to find the best position and division of labor. At present, several attackers have formed a tacit understanding, but the output has not yet stabilized. Jin You is injured, Hu and Tao, Mutalifu to participate in the national brand training, the side of the adjustment space is limited, easy to fatigue, rely on the individual ability of the players.
The defensive end has improved, with two consecutive shutouts. However, Rongcheng still regarded defense as the primary issue, and Xu Zhengyuan fine-tuned the lineup to try new combinations, with significant results. Consecutive goals conceded in the second half increased both the number of goals conceded and affected the scoring rhythm. The gap at the top of the rankings is not large, and S蓉城 will gain a greater advantage if they can move up the table.
Facing Rongcheng's midfield, the opponent will adopt a defensive strategy, forcing Rongcheng to start a positional battle and need to improve their offensive system. In fact, both offense and defense require teamwork.
Hibiscus have started well and are already seen as a strong team, but they cannot afford to be complacent, aiming for higher goals and keeping their heads down to fight for victory.
Where once Quan Hing set off a yellow frenzy in AA, today's Hibiscus has the ability to set off a red storm.
