In the 7th round of the 2021 Chinese Super League season, a marquee match was played between Guangzhou and Qingdao. Golat scored twice in the first half, while Aixon, Liao Lixiang, and Luo Guofu and Yang Liyu scored in the second half, and Guangzhou swept Qingdao 6-0 in the end. Following a 3-1 turnaround in Chongqing last time out, Guangzhou have now won two games in a row, and their five-game unbeaten streak puts them in second place in the region with 14 points, just one point behind leaders Shandong. In the last three games, Guangzhou scored 10 goals, averaging 3.3 goals per game, as if they had recovered the old "Tianshi minimum spending" mode.
In the first six rounds of this season's Chinese Super League, Guangzhou ranked second in the Guangzhou division with three wins, two draws and one loss, beating Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic 3-1 in the last round. Qingdao, on the other hand, is in fifth place with 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, and lost 0-2 to Henan Songshan Longmen in the last round. As the leader Shandong was forced to draw by Wuhan, the difference between Guangzhou and Shandong is only one point. If Guangzhou wins this match and Shandong fails to beat Cangzhou Lions, Guangzhou will jump to the first place.
At the beginning of the match, Guangzhou team quickly entered the state. Only 10 minutes into the match, Liu Zhenli failed to hit the ball far from his teammates' interference, and the ball accidentally bounced off Li Peng, and Gaolat blocked the shot to give Guangzhou the lead. With a one-goal lead, Guangzhou became more and more confident. In the 33rd minute, Eckerson took a pass from He Chao, stopped the ball on his chest and scored with a left-footed curling shot to extend the lead to two goals. In the 40th and 42nd minutes, Gaolat and Liao Lixiang scored consecutively to end the first half with Guangzhou leading by four goals.
Guangzhou's offense continued unabated as the match resumed. In the 65th minute, Luo Guofu received a pass from his teammate on the left side of the field and scored a header on Yang Yu. 3 minutes later, Wei Shihao received a direct pass from his teammate and his left-footed curling shot inside the penalty area was parried by Liu Zhenli, while Yang Liyu easily pushed the ball into the empty net at the back point, eventually sealing the win for Guangzhou with a 6-0 victory. In this game, Guangzhou team showed a wealth of offensive means, whether it is sports or positioning, all show the level of the top team in the Chinese Super League. In addition, Guangzhou scored a lot of points, and even Luo Guofu, who has been out of action for a long time, scored a goal.
With rich attacking tactics, a large number of scoring players and good coordination, Guangzhou's game process is reminiscent of the former king Evergrande (Guangzhou's predecessor). With a variety of offensive means, Guangzhou has scored 9 goals in the last two rounds of matches, even counting the poor form of the bye, the last three rounds of matches also scored 10 goals, an average of 3.3 goals, basically reached the standard of the year Evergrande Galaxy's minimum consumption (average net win of 3 goals). Without the concerns of the AFC Champions League, the single-front Guangzhou team has launched a strong attack on the Chinese Super League crown this season.
It is worth mentioning that, after winning this game, Guangzhou has won two consecutive games, undefeated in five rounds, accumulating 14 points, ranking second in the region, only one point behind the leader Shandong. Shandong's recent situation is average, although the last two rounds of undefeated record of 1 win and 1 draw, but the game situation is poor, especially in the offensive end of a lot of problems. In the second phase of the Chinese Super League, all teams will play nine matches in 24 days, an average of one match in less than three days. Guangzhou and Beijing Guoan and their fifth round opponents, on the other hand, are playing 10 games in 28 days. Despite the high density of matches, it's also a perfect opportunity to grab points. With Guangzhou's current hot form, reclaiming the lead is within reach ......
