As night falls and the clock strikes 18:00 on July 21st, a heavy bomb is about to be detonated in the 7th round of the Chinese Super League in Guangzhou, as Guangzhou and Qingdao face off against each other.
Today, Guangzhou's team is in full swing in their pre-match preparations, with the Sports World program on Guangdong TV's Sports Channel revealing that the team's spiritual leader Zheng Zhi is back in the training line-up, while naturalized striker Fernando has also overcome his injuries and stepped into the training ground.
Fernando had suffered an unfortunate injury during the preparation for the National Football League's Top 40 tournament, while Zheng Zhi threw himself into training as a B-level coach. The return of the two certainly brings exciting and happy news for the Guangzhou team.
In the pre-match press conference, coach Carnavaro emphasized the importance of the quality of the game and revealed that a rotation strategy will be implemented to give every player a chance to play.
Speaking about the next day's match, Cannavaro was passionate: "We are about to have our third game of the season and I have always told my players that the best medicine to enjoy the game is to win. Of course, we also understand that victory is not something that can be achieved easily, and it is not something that can be kept for a long time. The rotation and the health of the players are important, but the quality of the game is what I value most."
Cannavaro placed equal importance on the issue of rotation, stating frankly: "From my first press conference here, I emphasized the importance of rotation. I told the players that everyone has a chance and everyone will be given a stage to show themselves. In this intensive tournament, I don't want the players to just go downstairs every day to train and then go back to their rooms to play games, watch movies and go to a restaurant to eat, such a meaningless life."
