Yoshihiro, a highly skilled and experienced player on the ball, showed excellence at right back and was good enough to compete with Kawasaki's best. The center of Luneng's midfield, Huang Zhengyu partnered with Li Yuanyi, while Liao Lixiang was absent due to injury and unfortunately could not join Kawasaki. With Huang Zhengyu filling in for Liao, the engineered midfielder will take on the defensive burden of the team, while Li Yuanyi will be able to pour all his energy into the attack and bring the team some exciting offense.
At Luneng, the left forward position is occupied by Liu Binbin, who has both offensive and defensive strengths, making it difficult for coach Cui Kangxi to part with him. As for the right back, the situation of foreign player Pato is full of controversy. Since joining the team last summer, Pato's performance has never been convincing, and even once was expected to be treated as a "water cap", almost abandoned by the team. This match with Kawasaki is a battlefield of redemption for Pato, and he is expected to make a breakthrough in the match and lead the team to the lead soon.
As for Luneng's front line, the partnership combination of Kressan and Kaza has been impressive in warm-up matches and training, and they are expected to join forces to bring their team a victory against Kawasaki.
