Located in the stronghold of the goal, the outstanding Han Jiaqi will defend Beijing Guoan's city; and in the solid back line, Suarez may continue to use his trademark four-back layout, the expected starting four-back lineup will be led by Zhang Chengdong, Wang Gang, Engadeu and Li Lei. In this lineup, Ngadeu and Zhang Chengdong will work together to form the core center back; while Li Lei and Wang Gang will guard the two wings.
As for the midfield, there is no doubt that the core of Beijing Guoan's midfield, the naturalized player Li Ke, who is responsible for blocking and breaking up the ball, will occupy a key position, while Portugal's shining star Guga will play alongside Li Ke to form a powerful double back pairing. It is expected that before these two backs, local power midfielder Zhang Yuan will take over Zhang Xizhe's position and be responsible for the coordination and command in front of the field. Meanwhile, the experienced Zhang Xizhe will be on standby as a substitute, ready to play the magic role of the "miracle soldier" in the second half.
As for the forward line, Fabio Abreu, deservedly the team's top scorer, will continue to lead the way up front; alongside him, the trident will be Lin Liangming and Fang Hao, two international-class wingers. Zhang Yuning, on the other hand, is set to be on the bench.
Accordingly, Beijing Guoan's starting lineup against Henan can be predicted as Han Jiaqi; Zhang Chengdong, Wang Gang, Ngadeu, Li Lei; Li Ke, Zhang Yuan, Guga; Fabio Abreu, Fang Hao, Lin Liangming.
