China Super League (soccer league)
In a marquee match in the 19th round of the League
Zhejiang team
After the 2-5 defeat away to Qingdao West Coast, the club quickly released an apology statement after the match to express their apologies to the fans. An analysis by Football Daily pointed out that Zhejiang head coach Jiao Di's tactical system has been gradually figured out by opponents, which may be one of the reasons for the team's recent poor performance. Qiaodi has led Zhejiang through three seasons since he took charge, and opponents have gained a deep understanding of his tactical style, which is a serious test for the team.
Zhejiang's defensive problems are prominent in this season, conceding 35 goals in 19 rounds of league matches, an average of nearly 1.84 goals per match, a statistic that highlights their weakness at the defensive end of the field. After this loss, Zhejiang is in urgent need of tactical reflection and adjustment. Due to the postponement of the league schedule, they will have less time to rest when they face Shanghai Harbor in the F.A.C. Cup, which is a test for the team's physical fitness.
Zhejiang's upcoming schedule is equally challenging, as they will face a rebounding Henan team and Chengdu Rongcheng, who are striving to qualify for the AFC Champions League, neither of which will be easy. If they want to keep their hopes of making it to the Asian Championship alive, the AFC Cup may become a more important battleground for them. The team will need to adjust their form in a short period of time to avoid the risk of losing consecutive points.
