In the world of soccer, choices are always full of variables. Guoan team is quietly undergoing a lineup metamorphosis, 97-year-old Shaolin Liangming, Zhang Yuan and Cao Yongjing, they are like three sharp swords, ready to go. After nearly two weeks of hard training, they have seized many opportunities to show themselves. Lin Liangming's position on the wing in Ivankovic's tactical system is a highly competitive one, with so many strong players such as Fernando, Wei Shihao and Xie Pengfei, that even the bench seems crowded. However, he did not give up, deep down still harbor the dream of returning to Guoan, eager to prove their own value. With Wu Lei absent when the national soccer team played Thailand in June, Lin Liangming only needed to shine in the Chinese Super League to have a chance to fill his shoes.
Cao Yongjing, a rising star, has been particularly impressive. It would not be surprising if he could hit the ground running in the Wuhan Three Town game. Cao Yongjing also picked up a goal in the warm-up match. Meanwhile, He Yupeng took Wang Gang's place and even replaced Jiang at left back. Beijing Guoan is expected to build a team that is dominated by local young players. Despite the drop in average age, it remains to be seen how the three new defenders will perform. Recently, Wuhan Sanzhen has received good news that the team has successfully signed a new sponsor, morale is high, and foreign defender Awolaida is set to return to the field.
Regardless of the adjustments to the player lineup, Beijing Guoan will continue to adhere to the philosophy of attacking soccer. Although the latest offense did not yield significant results, the team, led by Abreu, is actively seeking changes. In an interview, Abreu revealed that he has fully recovered and is ready to return to the field. In the three center back system, the tacit understanding between the two strikers is crucial. Observing the first two matches, we find that they have some conflicts in their positions. Zhang Yuning plays as a winger in both the national team and Guoan, and if this problem cannot be solved, his shooting ability will not be fully utilized. In the future, the team will face a tough choice between Yabreu and Zhang Yuning.
