On the 26th of spring, the 2nd round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) match between Shanghai Seaport and Beijing Guoan attracted a lot of attention. Before the match, the harbor team launched a promotional poster with the theme of "Leiby who 'come thia'" to warm up for the upcoming match.
This season, both teams have undergone coaching changes, with Croatian coaches Leko and Bilic at the helm of Seaport and Guoan respectively. In Shanghainese, "Lai Thi" means courage and fearlessness, and the Harbor's poster is meant to foretell that this match will determine who is the more combatant Croatian coach.
The marquee match will be played at 18:00 on April 28th. Looking back at the past 5 meetings between the two teams in the Chinese Super League, Seaport has a slight advantage with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
