Chapter 179 The 2014 Chinese Super League Season Opener
The opening game of the 2014 Chinese Super League is getting closer and closer, and Xue Yang attaches great importance to this game.
Not only because this is the opening game, but also because the opponent is Jingcheng Guoan.
In fact, there is no conflict between Tianjin Wei and Jingcheng Guoan. The reason why fans are hostile to Jingcheng Guoan is mostly because of Tianjin TEDA.
The so-called Beijing-Tianjin Derby is somewhat untrue, but now Tianjin Wei has surpassed Tianjin TEDA in the hearts of many Tianjin fans.
Therefore, Tianjin fans are still paying close attention to this game. Although today is an away game, there are still many Tianjin fans at the scene.
On the other hand, Guoan fans are more eager to win, not only because Tianjin Wei is a Tianjin team.
Also because Tianjin Wei was the Chinese Super League champion last season, Jingcheng Guoan has always had a championship dream.
They won the championship in the 2009 season and they are eager to win another one.
In fact, Jingcheng Guoan's lineup is really good. Among the veterans, there are famous players like Shao Jiayi.
The younger generation also has future international players like Zhang Xizhe, and Zhang Chengdong has also joined Beijing Guoan.
Coupled with the addition of Ivo at the beginning of the season, Jingcheng Guoan's strength is really pretty good.
But compared with Tianjin Wei, it may still be a little worse.
Although Tianjin Wei only has three foreign players, all of them are strong players.
There are also several foreign-level local players, such as Zhou Zheng with 77 ability points, Fu Yunhong with 73 ability points, Shi Li with 74 ability points, and Ma Yuwen with 76 ability points.
If Tianjin Wei goes out with all its strength, it is equivalent to recruiting 7 foreign players.
Who can beat Tianjin Wei in this Super League, but this season is special.
Tianjin Wei has the AFC Champions League this season, and in the case of multi-line operations, rotation is more or less necessary.
And there is bad news for Tianjin Wei, that is, Zhou Zheng's condition is extremely bad.
There is no doubt about Zhou Zheng's importance to Tianjin Wei. He has greatly improved Tianjin Wei's high-altitude ball power.
It's a pity that Zhou Zheng cannot start today. Xue Yang will not let players who are in poor condition start the game.
It is worth mentioning that Ivo has entered the big list of Beijing Guoan.
Ivo did not expect that after leaving Tianjin Wei, he would meet his old master so soon.
This makes Ivo feel embarrassed. Fortunately, today is not Tianjin Wei's home court.
There were not many curses during the warm-up time. After Ivo joined Tianjin Wei, he only played for half a season.
Tianjin fans treat Ivo like that, and after all, he was in Tianjin Wei before.
Tianjin Wei's local players are too strong. You must know that there was Qu Xuan in the Chinese Super League before.
So Ivo is not that important in Tianjin Wei, even if his strength is indeed good.
"Hello, viewers! Welcome to today's live broadcast. What we bring to you today is the opening game of the Chinese Super League. Tianjin Wei challenges Beijing Guoan away from home." Duan Xuan said in the opening commentary.
Because of the excellent results last season and the good reputation.
This season, the sports channel has increased the number of Tianjin Wei broadcasts and even broadcast the opening game live.
"Today is the opening game of the new Chinese Super League season. I believe fans have been looking forward to today for a long time."
"In the first game of the AFC Champions League, Tianjin Weida defeated Melbourne Victory by a score." Xu Yang continued to explain.
"We even almost won by double digits, which also made many people pay attention to Tianjin Wei's results in the new season."
"We can see that there are several new young players in Tianjin Wei's roster." Duan Xuan continued to introduce.
"The most surprising thing is that Tianjin Wei's No. 10 jersey and No. 7 jersey are all given to new young players."
"This makes people wonder whether they deserve such a number."
"Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides. First, the home team Jingcheng Guoan. The official formation is 4-2-3-1:
