On July 21st, at 18:00, the much-anticipated seventh round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) in Guangzhou will be staged, and the match between Guangzhou and Qingdao will be the focus of the battle.
On the eve of this match, the Guangzhou team launched an intense pre-match training. The Guangdong TV sports channel Sports World reported that the team's spiritual leader, Captain Zheng Zhi, returned to the team and had a joint practice with his teammates. In addition, naturalized striker Fernando also appeared on the training ground after recovering from his injury, injecting new energy into the team.
Fernando suffered an unfortunate injury while preparing for the Top 40 on behalf of the national soccer team, while Zheng Zhi had been away for B-level coaching training. The return of the two of them has undoubtedly brought a huge boost to the Guangzhou team.
In his pre-match conference, head coach Carnavaro emphasized the importance of the quality of the game and revealed that he will give every player a chance to feature in terms of rotating his squad.
Talking about the upcoming match, Cannavaro said, "We will have our third match in this phase tomorrow. I've always told the players that the best medicine to enjoy the game is victory. Of course, we are also aware that victory is not easy to come by, nor do we always have it. The rotation, the health of the players are all crucial, but the most crucial thing is the quality of the game, which is the key point I have emphasized over and over again."
Cannavaro also gave high priority to the issue of rotation: "Since my first day here, I have emphasized the importance of rotation. I told the players that everyone has a chance and everyone will get a chance to play. In this intensive schedule, I want every player to be involved in the game, not just go downstairs to train every day and then go back to their rooms to play games, watch movies, or eat in the restaurant, which is pointless."
