Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan seem to be in the same predicament in the brand new Chinese Super League schedule! The two teams, once renowned in the soccer world, are now facing an embarrassing record of 1 draw and 1 loss, with Guoan losing for two consecutive rounds. As the cradle of the national football team of Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan, this performance slump, can not help but let the national football boss Li Tie frown.
Evergrande and Guoan's back-to-back disappointments
In the first two rounds of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou first drew 2-2 with Guangzhou City and then suffered the worst situation in the team's history in the second round with a 0-1 defeat against Taishan.
What is even more saddening is that Beijing Guoan's performance has also been dismal. In the first round, Guoan lost 1-2 to Shanghai Shenhua, and in the second round, facing Seaport, they conceded two goals in just four minutes. Although Bieira pulled a goal back for his team, Lu Wenjun's goal instantly extinguished the momentum of Guoan's counterattack. In the end, Seaport beat Guoan 3-1, and Guoan suffered two consecutive defeats.
Li Tie worried about the state of international players
Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan are both big international players, and a total of 11 players from both teams have been selected in the latest national team training list. However, naturalized players Fernando, Jiang Guangtai and Li Ke were not included in the list.
Both teams have poor records, and the state of the international players is also low. For example, Beijing Guoan's Yu Dabao and Li Lei's low-level mistakes directly led to the team's loss of goals, and Zhang Yuning's five shots in the front line were unproductive. The Guangzhou team is also in bad shape, with the naturalized player Eickson in serious decline, and the backline led by Zhang Linpeng and Jiang Guangtai is full of holes.
It's time to give newcomers a chance
At the end of May, the national soccer team will usher in the 2nd stage of the Top 40 tournament. This time, there is no way back for the national soccer team. In order to grasp the initiative to advance, it must make every effort to win 4 consecutive matches. However, the national players are generally in poor condition, Li Tie should consider countermeasures in advance. For example, selecting local players with excellent form from the league. In the first two rounds of the Super League, there are many local players with outstanding performance, such as u23 young Guo Tianyu on the front line, he has the strength to occupy a place in the national football team.
In the next league, Li Tie will have to observe more, discover more, and look for local players in excellent form, rather than just focusing on fame.
