Now that the end of the league is getting closer, Tianjin Wei still ranks first in the standings.
But the lead is too small, and Guangzhou Evergrande may be able to catch up in a draw.
So Xue Yang puts all his attention on the league. Next, Tianjin Wei will face Liaoning Hongyuan at home.
Facing a weak opponent, Xue Yang didn't want to lose.
In the end, Tianjin Wei defeated their opponent relatively easily 4-1 and continued to lead the standings.
Then in the 25th round, good news came: Guangzhou Evergrande finally joined the team.
The next day is Tianjin Wei's game. Tianjin Wei will go to an away game to challenge Hangzhou Greentown.
If Tianjin Wei wins this game, then Tianjin Wei will lead Guangzhou Evergrande by 3 points.
Then Tianjin Wei's hope of winning the championship is even greater. Even the goal set by Xue Yang before the start of the season was only to be at the top of the standings.
However, now that he actually has a chance to win the championship, Xue Yang is still a little bit incredible.
Today Tianjin Wei's opponent is Hangzhou Greentown. In fact, Xue Yang quite admires this club.
Hangzhou Greentown is also a team that attaches great importance to youth training and has contributed many outstanding players to Chinese football.
For example, Wang Yongpo, Zhou Haibin, Cui Peng and others, Zhang Yuning, who is highly anticipated by fans in the future, also came from Hangzhou Greentown.
In the future, Hangzhou Greentown had no choice but to be relegated to the Chinese League One, where they stayed for several seasons.
Xue Yang once felt that they were suspected of charging points.
After all, upgrading to the Chinese Super League does cost a lot.
As the Chinese Super League bubble burst, Hangzhou Greentown returned to the Chinese Super League.
Although today is an away game, many Tianjin Wei fans came to the away game today.
Now Tianjin Wei's reputation has risen. As the most special team in the Chinese Super League, fans are not limited to Tianjin.
There are also Tianjin Wei fans in other provinces, and they can get results and train players.
Hangzhou Greentown is not a strong team. They also finished first in the Chinese Super League a few seasons ago.
However, Hangzhou Greentown's current strength has declined a lot, and their foreign aid strength is not strong either.
As a Chinese Super League team, Hangzhou Greentown is one of the few teams with two Asian and foreign teams.
Moreover, there is one Korean foreign aid and one Japanese foreign aid. Overall, their foreign aid level is very average.
Xue Yang is still confident about this game. Currently, Hangzhou Greentown is relatively low in the Chinese Super League rankings.
Suddenly Xue Yang had a bold idea. Although it was a bit risky, it was not impossible.
And now that Tianjin Wei has fault tolerance, it can still take this risk.
Lu Quan's condition was average today, so Xue Yang didn't plan to let him start.
Apart from him, Ma Yuwen's condition is also average, but Ma Yuwen is relatively important.
Fortunately, Lu Tingwen is not too bad now and can still be used.
It is worth mentioning that today's game will not be broadcast live on the sports channel.
It is only broadcast live on the Tianjin Wei local sports station, and Tianjin Wei has now gained popularity.
Xue Yang intends to increase the number of live broadcasts of Tianjin Wei games next season.
"Hello, viewers! Welcome to today's game. What we bring to you today is the Chinese Super League Tianjin Wei's away game against Hangzhou Greentown." Shi Yong said in the opening commentary.
"In yesterday's game, Guangzhou Evergrande got a draw, which gave Tianjin Wei a chance to open up the score."
"Today's opponent of Tianjin Wei is indeed not very strong. Although it is an away game, Tianjin Wei still has great hope of winning." Yang Wei continued to explain.
"Now it is becoming more and more favorable for Tianjin Wei. It is really possible that the Chinese Super League champion will fall to Tianjin this season!"
"Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides. First of all, Hangzhou Greentown officially gave a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Gu Chao;
Defenders: 16 Fan Xiaodong, 3 Jin Dongjin, 5 Shi Ke, 22 Wang Lin;
Midfielder: 9 Mazzola, 2 Song Zhiwei, 33 Wang Song, 19 Tang Jiashu, 21 Xie Pengfei;
Forward: 20 Forrest Gump.”
"Then Tianjin Wei officially gave a 4-3-3 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Zhuang Zhongtong (65);
Defenders: 19 Lu Tingwen (64), 32 Shen Yi (65), 34 Li Mingguang (64), 20 Qin Dabao (68);
Midfielder: 8 Qu Xuan (78), 21 Ji Shang (70), 30 Shi Li (68);
Forwards: 15 Li Yan (71), 9 Zhou Zheng (72), 31 Fu Yunhong (68)."
"Hey! Is this Tianjin Wei's starting lineup for the All-China Class?" Shi Yong suddenly reacted.
"This game must be won! How can we have an all-Chinese class at this time!" Yang Wei explained worriedly.
As the commentator of Tianjin Channel, Yang Wei is definitely more inclined to local teams.
"Is there any problem with Tianjin Wei's foreign aid? I haven't heard any relevant news!" Yang Wei continued to speculate.
"It's impossible that Tianjin Wei's head coach Xue Yang doesn't know the importance of this game, but he still chose such a starting lineup." Shi Yong thought for a while and explained.
"That is to say, in his mind, even the All-China Tianjin Wei can defeat their opponents."
"But isn't this a bit risky?" Yang Wei explained with some worry.
The reason why Xue Yang joined the All-China Class was not just on a whim.
I think back when he was still in the Chinese League One, Xue Yang once challenged Shandong Luneng in the All-China Class.
Of course, at that time, Xue Yang had the idea of letting his opponents relax their vigilance, but now Tianjin Wei is at the top of the standings.
The reason why Xue Yang still dares to compete in the All-China class this time is because the local players on the team are indeed very strong.
In particular, attacking midfielder Qu Xuan is already one of the top foreign players in the Chinese Super League.
Now it can gain a foothold even in the five major leagues, and can even gain a foothold in mid- and upper-tier teams.
But there are still some risks, because the defense of this starting lineup is average.
The strength of the two central defenders is also relatively average, and of course they can still be used.
Both of them have great potential, and their height and physical fitness are not bad either.
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
Xue Yang's arrangement today was unexpected, and so were the Tianjin Wei players.
They did not panic because of this, but actually gained a little more confidence.
This game is very crucial, but Xue Yang still let them start, which proves his confidence in the players.
Of course, there are also players who are not happy, and he is central defender Luo Jinbo.
Luo Jinbo entered the first team earlier than Shen Yi and Liming Guang, but today two newcomers were allowed to start the game.
Instead, he was put on the bench, and Luo Jinbo felt somewhat unbalanced.
His ability is indeed a bit worse, and although his condition today is not bad, it can only be regarded as ordinary.
That's why Xue Yang did not choose to start him, but chose two other central defenders.
