China Super League (soccer league)
In the second round of the league, the focus of the battle will be staged on June 8, when Dalian People will meet the challenge of Guangzhou City. In the first round, Xie Hui's team drew 2-2 with Henan Songshan Longmen, showing a good strength. Coach Xie Hui said in response that the players need to calmly analyze the situation, comparing it to "like dipping your head into cold water to completely calm down." He was equally respectful of Guangzhou City's tactics: "They were like a clear stream in the center of the
national soccer team
The altar stands alone." During the preparation process, Xie Hui particularly emphasized the importance of ice therapy, which he believes will not only help the players to calm down, but also adjust their mentality. "The recent atmosphere of preparation made me feel a bit worried that the players might not be able to play at their best because of the imbalance in their mindset. Therefore, I decided to throw some cold water on the players to keep them awake." Xie Hui said. Talking about Guangzhou City team, Xie Hui showed enough respect. Although Guangzhou City lost 1-4 against Changchun Yatai in the last round of matches, Xie Hui thinks it doesn't mean anything. "We don't know yet what kind of challenge we will meet in the next game. Guangzhou City was a title contender last season and although they have suffered difficulties this season, the 1-4 score in the last match is not representative." Xie Hui spoke highly of Changchun Yatai as the favorites to win the title this season. "If I had to pick the team with the least problems in the league, I would choose Changchun Yatai. They are well-prepared and strong, and the trident in front of the team is unbeatable." Facing the upcoming match, Xie Hui said, "This match will be even tougher. Both Li Tixiang and Chen Zhichao are experienced players in the Chinese Super League. I am also quite impressed with the soccer thinking of the opponent's manager. In modern soccer, the brave thing is not to press high up the pitch, but to organize attacks cleverly at the back. Guangzhou City's performance in this regard is a breath of fresh air in the Chinese Super League. We will go all out and prepare for this match with 120% energy." When asked if he would stick to high pressing throughout the season, Xie Hui said, "High pressing is not a new concept, it started 15 years ago. It's just that it was implemented later in China. I started to try it when I was coaching in Nantong and will always stick to it." (Sohu Sports Pei Li)
