The biggest challenge facing Zhejiang footballers, the third wave of pressure like a mountain, is physically and mentally exhausted. This year's Chinese League A all the way to a record 34 rounds, Zhejiang team three-quarters of the games are staged in the Meizhou district, almost the entire season are running around on this piece of land. This season's Chinese Super League has been fragmented, with only 22 rounds played, also a record low - compared to Qingdao, Zhejiang's exhaustion is self-evident.
Exhaustion has spawned a fourth mountain. The intensive pace of the game has multiplied the risk of injury for the players, with foreigner Mu Xiekui unfortunately injured before the final round of the league, and Frank having suffered a strain during the game. The two are currently being guided by a rehabilitator to work out alone. Whether or not Mu Xiekui will be able to return to action in the play-offs is still up in the air. As the golden boot of the Central League, Mu Xiekui's absence is undoubtedly a huge loss to the Zhejiang team.
With heavy challenges, Zhejiang team is about to start a new journey in Suzhou tournament. The two-round play-off match will be played at Suzhou Olympic Sports Center, and a player said, "After playing a season in Meizhou district, I'm tired of the field there, and this time I can finally play in a good field."
Goalkeeper Gu Chao, who won last season's Chinese Super League title for Jiangsu Suning at the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center, is looking forward to bringing this good fortune to the Zhejiang team and helping them to succeed in the Super League.
