As the night draws low, Guangzhou will welcome the first feast of the 2021 Chinese Super League season in the late afternoon of the 20th. Due to seasonal adjustments, the match has been delayed by a full two hours, and Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic, who originally debuted on the same day as Shandong Luneng, will join the Guangzhou team and Guangzhou City in taking the field at 8:00 p.m. sharp.
This year's Chinese Super League National Football Association will have opened the ticket channel, but this does not mean that all games will be open to the public. 19 early in the morning, the reporter learned from the Two Rivers Athletic Club: the first round of the game will not be open to the public stands, so even if the Chongqing fans rushed to the Guangzhou University City, may not have access to the sports center stadium for the team to cheer.
"Good things come in threes," said Two Rivers Athletic Club, which suffered a number of twists and turns before the start of the new season. However, as the team stepped into the playing area on the evening of the 18th, all the work around the Super League gradually stepped into the right track.
Two Rivers Athletic held its first pre-match press conference of the new season at 2:15 p.m. today at the Guangzhou University City Sports Center Stadium, with manager Zhang Wailong and defender core Yang Shuai in attendance.
Zhang Wailong, once he came out, interacted enthusiastically with the on-site media: "I've heard so much about you all, our team has changed its name, and the lineup has gone through a big change, so I hope this year will bring you a refreshing outlook."
Talking about the upcoming match, Zhang Wailong said, "We don't know much about the opponent's situation, we will follow the previous preparations, implement the technical and tactical system with all our strength and go all out to deal with this match."
It is reported that at present, the two rivers Athletic and last year, the same, suffered a "foreign aid drought" - in addition to Bolaños participated in the warm-up matches, Fernandinho, even if you can play, but also need to "find the feeling" in the game! ", the new foreign aid Tursunov due to epidemic prevention requirements, it is difficult to catch the first round of matches.
Nonetheless, Zhang was confident that his team would be able to overcome the difficulties: "I believe everyone has seen our best-ever performance last year when we turned back Shandong Luneng in the last two games to finish sixth. For us, there are still a lot of players around, so the accumulation of these experiences will be helpful to us. Our whole winter training has been difficult and not systematic enough, but the players' love for soccer makes me believe in their understanding of the game! The first game will definitely have many difficulties, but the players will overcome them with me."
New captain Yang Shuai also talked about the preparation for the first round of matches, "The biggest change in our team is perhaps that it is younger than last year. For the goal of the new season, we are definitely still focusing on relegation, and now that the team is united, we will work together to meet this season."
It is worth mentioning that the first round of matches between Two Rivers Athletic and Shandong Luneng will not open the stands to the public, so Chongqing fans can only focus on the game through live television. A Two Rivers Athletic Club staff said: "This game due to time constraints, we are too late to organize the second scene in Chongqing, only fans to organize their own to watch the game, the official second scene is expected to be in May."
