Beacons are back in action with a seventh-round showdown between Beijing
national security
Against Chengdu Rongcheng. Prior to the match, manager Xie Feng revealed his tactics: "After six rounds of fierce battle, the starting lineup will be fine-tuned in due course. Adebenelo's recovery has been slow, and his recent suspension has had a significant impact on the attacking end. Luckily, the center forward and substitutes are in top form, especially Zhang Yuning, who has been making a lot of progress, and we expect him to keep his firepower going."
Chengdu Rongcheng has been on a roll lately, with corners and set-pieces as its scoring tools, five goals in six matches, all of which are related to this. Players need to be vigilant in defending set-pieces. To win the game, they must go all out. Even after 88 minutes of excellent performance, it could be surrendered just by conceding a goal in the last two minutes. The players were slow to adapt to the heat of the last game, so we hope that the team will be able to play steadily and finish well in tomorrow's game.
Facing the situation that Chengdu Rongcheng's scoring points are scattered and goals are completed by midfielders, Xie Feng revealed: "Chengdu's formation and corner defense have been adjusted, and the game is not only limited to set-pieces and corners, but the two sides of the road are also exceptionally active, with frequent passes and a lot of corners and set-pieces. I have told the players, one is to defend the side road passes, and the other is to reduce the opponent's chances of positional kicks."
After a long break after the last game, have the players' fatigue levels eased? Xie Feng responded, "It's true that they are quite tired, and veterans like Yu Dabao are also recovering as quickly as possible through methods such as the ice pool. This time we have one more day of preparation than our opponents, and we hope that our physical fitness will be restored to a certain extent."
