The match took a sudden turn for the worse as Lui scored twice in the opening half, boosting the morale of the Harbour team. Although Cheng Changcheng pulled one back, Paulinho and Li Shenglong added to their tally in the second half to seal a 4-1 victory. Vargas' hat-trick was the icing on the cake, and the win gave manager Leko a breather, but is the future really bright?
After the match, Leko could not hide his joy and said that the team has been in good form recently and the responsibility is increasing. He emphasized that despite conceding a goal once in the first half, the team was more efficient in the second half. However, he also admitted that the team still has room for improvement and promised to keep working hard.
This season, the Harbour team has received a lot of attention, but the lack of physical reserves and the disorganized preparation for the season once affected the performance of the team. Fans and management were accommodating, but as the league progressed, Lecco's strategy of "replacing practice with games" was ineffective, and the team's performance slumped to the disappointment of the fans.
In the face of the plight, the harbor senior decisive adjustment, summer window attraction action frequently, Vargas and other new recruits to join, Wu Lei return. However, at the level of the manager, Lecco has not seen action, triggering questions from the outside world.
As a matter of fact, there is no precedent for a mid-season coaching change in Harbor's history. In the face of the fans' clamor, the Harbour's senior management had hoped to make up for the shortcomings of the coaching staff by bringing in reinforcements, but Leko's good relationship with the team's management and his willingness to listen to suggestions made the team continue to adhere to the tradition of not changing the coach in the middle of the season.
However, Lecco's problems are still evident, with clinical command, formation arrangement and personnel all needing to be improved. During the second transfer period, Harbor contacted a number of national coaches, but all failed to make it due to various reasons. During this period, the team had also considered changing the manager, but finally decided to stick to Leko.
The return of Wu Lei provided Leko with the opportunity to observe. However, the team's recent encounters with opponents such as Beijing Guoan and Yatai, coupled with Wu Lei's injury, have once again put Leko in the limelight. After this round's victory over Yatai, Leko's situation has slightly improved, but still not out of the woods.
Lv Wenjun's outstanding performance became a highlight of the Harbor team. With the team's forward line in the doldrums, Lv Wenjun contributed many wonderful goals to help the team out of the dilemma.
In recent matches, Lv Wenjun has broken the deadlock many times with his individual ability to get the victory for his team. In this game, Lu Wenjun scored twice again, completing the 50-goal milestone of his career in the harbor.
After the match, Leko spoke highly of Lui's performance as a role model for the team and emphasized that it is only in the team's usual training that they can achieve good results in matches.
The Harbor team's current injury situation has improved, but Wu Lei's injury is a concern. During the match, Li Shenglong was rushed to the hospital for treatment after he was bloodied from a facial injury.
For the Harbor team, the upcoming matches are full of challenges. While securing the league results, the team also needs to work hard for the F.A.C.A. Cup title. It is reported that Wu Lei is recovering well and is expected to make it to the knockout stage of the F.A.C.A. Cup.
Harbor's personnel situation is not too good, besides the injury problem, the team is also under pressure in terms of reinforcement and change of manager. In the coming matches, the team needs to go all out to get a good result.
