Guangzhou's young warriors had to do their best not only to prepare for the reading contest but also to improve the tacit understanding between players. They fought tenaciously until the last minute in a tight game, only narrowly winning by a crucial point, and Wei Shihao's absence will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the team. We look forward to Guangzhou's continuous improvement! As for the "grass" tactic, is it wrong to play with one coach less? I believe most teams will adopt the strategy of delaying the game. The fact that Dalian couldn't turn the game around even though they had one more player and a foreigner at their disposal is at least indicative of a tactical failure. Wei Shihao was absent, his goal was blown, he was playing one man short and had a foreigner on the other side, it was not easy to get a point. We can try to play one less person, and the rest time is only two days, but the performance of Dalian team is just like a mess! No tactics at all, why make excuses when you lose. In the second half, with one more man and support from the foreigners, they failed to show the strong pressure that the internet said. Dalian had a lot of chances, but couldn't capitalize on them, so how can we blame others? It felt like Guangzhou played better in this game, despite their delaying tactics late on, but as fans, what we want to see more is the improvement of the players and the expectation they give us. Li Xuepeng, as a veteran, deserves it.
In fact, Guangzhou's delay was not purely due to tactical considerations, after all, they only had two days of rest and the weather in Guangzhou was unusually hot. With one less player to play with, it makes sense that the players would be physically weakened at the end of the game. The high temperature environment, Guangzhou team than Dalian team should be adapted to, after all, Dalian team is away from home, but also to bear the flight fatigue. These are objective factors that cannot be avoided. During the game, four or five top league players went down in ten minutes, which also shows the physical problem. Guangzhou played with one less player and delayed the game for that one point, and both teams did not perform well. If the roles had been reversed, the result might have been the same. A point is a win, and for Dalian, a point is not a loss. It's not very likely that they can beat Guangzhou absolutely, not to mention that Guangzhou already gave Dalian a hard time in the first half. The Chinese Super League is the top domestic league, but the strength of the players are not all top, like Yan Dinghao, Yang Liyu, Zhang Xiuwei and so on are regarded as the main force, and half of the U23 players, to be honest, if it is not for the reason of the policy, these players can't even get a turn on the bench. In the past, they were not considered the main force in the Central League. 10 to 11, two days of rest, plus the hot weather in Guangdong, if you think that such a Guangzhou team is adopting a delaying tactic, then it may be worthwhile to try this kind of tactic.
