Introduction: This season, Shanghai Harbour Football Club has welcomed a helmsman with a distinctive style - Ivan Leko. Although he has always kept a low profile in the public eye, during the team's training and matches, Leko has shown his undisguised enthusiasm, with slogans of "up! He was even more excited to be on the sidelines for the entire first round of the tournament. Despite Harbour's brilliant 6-1 record, Leko was still haunted by the fact that his team had been scored a goal, and even showed signs of despair.
In the decisive moment of the match between Shanghai Seaport FC and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers FC, Seaport failed to effectively defend against the opponent's fast counter-attacks, and eventually lost 6-1. Seaport manager Ivan Leko expressed his anger and despair at the result: he sat back in the coach's box in anger, slammed his jacket to the side, and after the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, Leko went straight back to the locker room, even neglecting to shake hands with the Jinmen Tigers' coach. For the detail-oriented Leko, the team's failure to stay focused until the last moment was intolerable, even though Jinmen Tigers' final strike failed to change the game. According to the Morning News, since Lecco took over the coaching reins at the Harbor, the players' training has become especially meticulous, such as the players having to arrive at the training ground early at the specified time; for example, Lecco and members of the coaching staff will still be working at the base after the training session is over. All of this undoubtedly demonstrates that Ivan Leko's rigor is deeply rooted, and the final performance of the players on the field is undoubtedly a violation of the "taboo". However, it is worth mentioning that in the press conference after the match, Leko still expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance.
Newsday posted an article saying that Ivan Leko's emotional intelligence makes the team more cohesive. When asked about the performance of Abraham, Arnautovic and Oscar after the game, Leko was clearly hesitant to publicly praise individual players. He often hangs on the side of the mantra is "team spirit": "We are a whole, I will not distinguish between foreign aid and local players, we win together, lose together, this is the team spirit."
In the second round, Shanghai Harbor FC will face Beijing Guoan FC. This will be an important battle to test the "Leko Flow". Guoan suffered a big loss against Shenhua, and facing Seaport, the impact power of Arnautovic is also not to be underestimated, so Guoan can only be tough. If you don't have the advantage of fighting for the first point, then you have to be more aggressive in the fight for the second point, which requires more running and a tougher attitude to the game. What kind of visual feast will be presented in this strong matchup?
