By Cheng Shan: Lv Wenjun scored two goals shortly after the start to boost the morale of the Harbour team. Although Cheng Changcheng's goal brought the score to 1-2, Paulinho and Li Shenglong each scored a goal in the second half to seal the 4-1 victory. Vargas even scored a hat-trick of assists to give the Harbour Masters the victory. The victory was a shot in the arm for Harbor's manager Leko, but is Harbor really safe after the win?
After the match, Leko could not hide his joy as he revealed, "We have won four of the last five games, which is a very good performance and the team's responsibility is improving." He also said, "We played well in the first 30 minutes, but there was a corner conceded which allowed the opponents to pull one back. In the second half there were not as many chances as in the first half, but we were more efficient. Of course, the team still has some areas to improve and we have to continue to work hard to improve."
Harbor team this season is in the spotlight, the staffing is not bad, but "lack of physical reserves, no systematic preparation for the season" and other issues did affect the team's performance in the early stage. Both team management and fans showed a tolerant attitude at that time. However, with the deepening of the league, Lecco's proposed "game instead of practice", "side by side training" did not achieve results, the harbor team in a long period of time in the game performance slump, gradually let the fans lose patience.
The ugly competition scene made the seaport executives could not sit still, and after communicating with the head coach, the team initiated a solution to push forward the personnel reinforcement in the summer window as a priority. Strong funds coupled with quick action, the seaport side can be described as successful in the search for new recruits, with players such as Vargas joining the team and Wu Lei returning, but no action has been taken at the much-criticized coaching level.
In fact, in the history of the Harbor team, there is indeed no habit of changing coaches in the middle of the season. The first phase of the Super League, the face of the fans' calls, the decision-making layer of the Harbour Saloon once hoped to use the summer window to make up for the lack of coaching level, "he is actually a very thoughtful coach, and the team's senior communication has been relatively smooth." Salon insiders have revealed that Leko's emotional intelligence is higher than a number of high profile managers, although the results did not reach a satisfactory state, but its smooth communication with the Salon management, but also willing to listen to some of the suggestions, making us also expect to maintain the seaport's tradition of not changing coaches in the middle of the season, so that Leko continues to remain on top of the coaching position. Secondly, due to the impact of the epidemic and the international situation, Harbor is unable to find a more suitable foreign coach in a short period of time.
However, Leko's defects are obvious, the lack of clinical command ability, field formation single, hesitant to use ...... originally attempted to have some action in this season of the seaport, had to reconsider some of the problems. In the second transfer period, the seaport side did contact the national coach, but the cooperation talked about half, because at that time, for some reasons, failed to come true. During this period, the seaport side also contacted the possibility of joining the foreign coach, in the face of fans and the media increasingly intense dissatisfaction with the voice, the seaport side is not without consideration of the "change of command".
With the return of Wu Lei, Leko was also given the chance to be under constant observation. But the loss to Beijing Guoan, coupled with Wu Lei's injury, Leco was again pushed to the tip of the storm, from the harbor of the season's top three and the FA Cup champion goal is a bit far, Leco's position is in jeopardy, the harbor of the current round of the defeat of Yatai, so that Leco's environment is slightly better, but not to the point of "safe and sound".
Lecco can still smile sitting in the coach's seat, the person who should be most thankful is Lu Wenjun - in recent games, the veteran Lu Wenjun's play is eye-catching, as the same as Wu Lei "Chongming a period of time" players, Lu Wenjun in the team's front line this season in the doldrums of the situation, the team has contributed to a number of wonderful performances. He has contributed to many wonderful performances.
In the previous match between Shanghai Harbor and Chengdu Rongcheng, Lu Wenjun stepped up in the Harbor's prolonged attack, and it was his deadlock-breaking goal that allowed the team to shake off the burden of wanting to win and fearing to lose, and finally, together with his old teammate Wu Lei, the team beat the opponent 3-0.
This game with Yatai, Wu Lei injury, has returned to Shanghai for treatment, Lu Wenjun once again pick the beam, the 9th minute, Paulinho constantly ball straight pass, high-speed insertion of Lu Wenjun push shot; 30th minute, Paulinho passes Vargas, the latter sub-ball to the left, Lu Wenjun meet the ball rub shot far corner of the hand. 30 minutes to open the door twice, to complete their own career in the seaport of the 50 goal milestone, so that his teammates were able to Throw off the pressure and lighten the load, is one of the key figures of the team's eventual big win.
After the match Leko talked specifically about the role of the veteran: "Lu Wenjun has been on my books for two years now, he is a very good player with a sense of mission and responsibility, which motivates him to perform well in every game, and last year he scored a lot of goals." Leko said he is satisfied with Lu's performance and that he has been a role model for the team, "At the same time, his performance is telling us that how we usually train will lead to what kind of performance we will have in the game."
"We played well in this game and took advantage of the moments. After leading 2-0 in the first half we were a bit lax and got one back before half time, fortunately in the second half we still came out with a bang to take the game." Lui said.
Seaport's current injury situation has changed, Wu Lei's injury worries the fans, seaport and hibiscus game, Wu Lei's ribs suffered the opponent's foreign defender Richard's violent impact, Wu Lei then can no longer support, was Li Shenglong replaced off the field. After the injury, Wu Lei immediately stopped the team training, after and coaching team, salon senior discussion, finally the team decided to let Wu Lei first recuperate from the injury, and then subsequent training games. The team organized Wu Lei to return to Shanghai on October 7, and then the salon staff revealed that Wu Lei was finally diagnosed with rib injuries, the doctor gave the opinion that the recovery period of at least one month.
According to the journey, Wu Lei is expected to miss three or four Super League matches. For Harbor, which expects to get the top three places in the Chinese Super League, Wu Lei's injury will have a significant impact. What's more, the knockout round of the AFC Cup is coming up in late November, and the biggest goal for Seaport this season is to win the AFC Cup, which is also the unfinished wish of Wu Lei and his brothers. According to team news, Wu Lei's recovery is relatively smooth, catching up with the AFC Cup competition should not be a problem. Wu Lei said: "This time, I want to come back, I want to go back with my brothers to find the original pursuit of the feeling of desire, we struggle together, in order to a common approach to do their best. I expect us to work harder together to win the AFC Cup."
In addition to Wu Lei, also returning to Shanghai are Xu Xin, Zhang Hua Chen and young Liu Bai Yang. Together with Abra Khan, who has not played a single game this season, and Zhang Linpeng and Feng Jin, who have been still recovering, the Harbor's personnel is in a less-than-ideal condition. In the game against Yatai, Li Shenglong received a teammate's pass header, but after the goal because of the face injury and blood on the field, directly to the ambulance to the hospital for treatment. It is understood that after the hospital, the doctor to Li Shenglong trauma stitches treatment, and then Li Shenglong rushed to Changchun airport, accompanied by the troops back to Shanghai.
