In-depth analysis of Wuhan Zall: the rugged road from the trough to the peak
In the 2019 season, Wuhan Zhuoer, like a black horse, was once regarded as the favorite to be relegated, but accidentally climbed to the sixth place in the league. 2020 season, the team went through a playoff before relegation, and in the early part of the 2021 season, the team even fell into the doldrums, with a score of 3 goals and a loss of 8 goals, ranked at the bottom of the Chinese Super League, and even helped Zimmen Tigers to win their first win, and the fans called for the Li Xiaopeng to go down. However, the season is just over one-sixth, too many variables have not yet appeared, Li Xiaopeng premature conclusion is too arbitrary? Let's look back at Wuhan Zall's past to find the answer.
Li Tie era of "skill flow" mark
Li Tie, who has played in the English Premier League, is known for his tenacious running and hard style of play, both at Liaoning and Everton. His coaching style is similarly low-key, leading Wuhan Zall to good results in the 2019 season, but little is known about the tactical system behind it.
In fact, what Li Tie advocates is not simply a quick attack, but a skill-flow style based on ball control and passing.
This is inextricably linked to his experience studying in Brazil with the Jianlibao team.In the 2019 season, Wuhan Zall's average possession rate was as high as 49.8%, and the short pass success rate was 83.8%, which ranked fourth in the Chinese Super League (CSL), behind only R&F, Guoan and Evergrande. The team's total number of passes is 12,203, second only to the above three, and Wuhan's number of successful direct ball is ranked first in the Chinese Super League. This fully demonstrates Li Tie's emphasis on foot passing and skill flow play.
Player Configurations in the Li Tie Era
Under the leadership of Li Tie, a group of loyal players laid a solid foundation for Wuhan Zall. Li Xing as the team's all-rounder, Liu Yi, Tomorrow, Dong Chunyu, Liao Junjian, Song Zhiwei and other players all played well. Foreigners Evra, Mbia and Baptiste also played key roles. It is worth mentioning that the whole team has 8 people on the list of the Chinese Super League steals list, showing the team's all-in-one.
The challenges of the Li Xiaopeng era
After Li Tie's departure, Li Xiaopeng took over the team and faced a lot of challenges. Despite the similarity in tactical style, the team's lineup and mentality have changed. 2020 season, Li Xing's injury had a huge impact on the team, and the team still needs time to gel after Li Xing's comeback in the 2021 season. Li Xiaopeng's frequent adjustments to the starting lineup also reflect his concern about the team's status.
Foreign aid issues become a constraint
Li Xiaopeng took over the team, the strength of foreign aid significantly decline. Taking Evra as an example, his scoring efficiency has dropped dramatically, and the powerlessness of the striker has become a persistent problem for Wuhan Zall. Even if Baptiste Tang returns, the team's attacking power is still difficult to improve. To get out of the trough, Wuhan Zall must solve the problem of foreign aid.
summarize
Wuhan Zall's road to the top has been full of ups and downs, but the team has always maintained its desire to win. In the face of difficulties, the team needs time to adjust, and at the same time need to find a way to solve the problem. Only through continuous efforts and adjustments, Wuhan Zall will be able to shine again in the future.
