On March 7th, the opening game of the new Chinese Super League season finally came.
Tianjin Wei will face Guangzhou R&F at home. It is worth mentioning that both sides have AFC Champions League seasons, so this game is not the first game of the new season for the two teams.
Since successively introducing players from Tianjin Wei, Guangzhou R&F has improved a lot in terms of local players.
And with the introduction of midfielder Ji Shang, their strength has definitely improved again.
Coupled with Guangzhou R&F's four foreign players, Guangzhou R&F is definitely a strong team in the Chinese Super League now.
Of course, their foreign aid strength is not that outstanding, but their strength is still quite strong.
In the AFC Champions League, their results were better than Tianjin Wei.
At present, the two rounds of the group stage are over. Guangzhou R&F first defeated Gamba Osaka in an away game, and then defeated Breeland of the Thai Super League at home.
The results are very good, if we continue to do so.
Guangzhou R&F is likely to qualify from the group stage, and Guangzhou R&F fans are looking forward to this very much.
If you have never played in the AFC Champions League, everyone may think that Guangzhou R&F can easily win Tianjin Wei.
After all, Tianjin Wei is an all-China team, and the main players in the team have been loaned to Europe.
They are now getting stable playing time in Europe, so it is normal not to be optimistic about Tianjin Wei.
But after the AFC Champions League, although most people are still more optimistic about Guangzhou R&F.
But it was no longer the one-sided situation before, and some people began to think that Tianjin Wei had a chance to win.
Of course, the number of people is in the minority, and everyone is still more optimistic about Guangzhou R&F.
As a result, Guangzhou R&F has gained more and more attention, which makes the boss of Guangzhou R&F feel grateful for his choice.
Sure enough, the plan to introduce high-quality local players from Tianjin Wei was correct, and he decided to continue this plan in the future.
However, Guangzhou R&F is not the only team that thinks so, there are several teams that also have such plans.
For example, Guangzhou Evergrande successfully introduced midfielder Yuan Han.
In the first two AFC Champions League games, Yuan Han started all games.
Yuan Han may not be much in Europe, but in the Chinese Super League he is the top defensive midfielder.
When he was in Tianjin Wei, he was a purely defensive midfielder, but Cannavaro would not do that in Guangzhou Evergrande.
His range of activities is relatively large, and his performance is indeed quite good.
So Cannavaro asked Guangzhou Evergrande to continue to introduce Tianjin Wei players in the next transfer window.
There are several Chinese players on loan in the J-League now, and they are good choices.
Among them, Xue Yang estimates that the most sought-after player in the future may be forward Gucai who is on loan to Gamba Osaka.
Gucai belongs to the Xiao Kuailing style, although the J-League has not started yet.
The opening game of the J-League this season is on the same day as the Chinese Super League, March 7.
Gamba Osaka also has AFC Champions League matches, in the past two rounds of group matches.
Gu Cai scored 2 goals as a substitute and also scored 1 goal in the starting game against Guangzhou R&F.
His performance is absolutely remarkable, he is completely at the foreign aid level.
"Hello, viewers! Welcome to today's live broadcast. What we bring to you today is the opening match of the Chinese Super League. Tianjin Wei faces Guangzhou R&F at home." He Wei said in the opening commentary.
"These two teams are both strong teams in the Chinese Super League and will also compete in the AFC Champions League this season."
"At present, it seems that these two teams are still very optimistic about qualifying from the group."
"The two teams are somewhat related. Three players in the Guangzhou R&F team were imported from Tianjin Wei."
"They are center back Wang Pan, midfielder Ji Shang and winger Shao Yi. Among them, Shao Yi may be the most famous."
"Because after Shao Yi joined Guangzhou R&F, his performance was indeed very good."
"Referred to as a local foreign aid by Guangzhou R&F, he ranked tenth in the scorer list last season."
"Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides. First of all, Guangzhou R&F officially gave a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Midfielder: 25 Olanare, 8 Ji Shang, 10 Michel, 6 Wang Song, 7 Shao Yi;
Forward: 9 Hammoud.”
"Then Tianjin Wei officially gave a 3-5-2 formation:
Goalkeeper: 13 Ge Deshan (69);
Defenders: 3 Hao Zigang (67), 14 Bai Liren (69), 19 Yao Daxing (64);
Midfielder: 7 Bu Qin (68), 10 Lou Shouyun (76), 6 Cui Yidong (73), 23 Gong Shaowei (75), 2 Jin Qiang (74);
Forwards: 9 Xu Qiang (62), 11 Qi Qi (70).”
Guangzhou R&F's starting lineup did not surprise Xue Yang.
Xue Yang guessed almost everything, even the tactical formation.
In terms of foreign players, Guangzhou R&F did not underestimate Tianjin Wei. Today, all four foreign players played.
In Xue Yang's view, Guangzhou R&F's foreign players are not that strong. People like Olanare and Hammoud both played in the Norwegian Super League before.
That is to say, Michelle is okay, and he is relatively young.
It's just that his performance in the AFC Champions League was not that good.
So it was considered a somewhat controversial signing, and Xue Yang knew that he seemed to have left after just one season.
On the other hand, Tianjin Wei Xue Yang deployed a 3-5-2 formation, and even more boldly started the double forward combination of Xu Qiang and Qi Qi.
It was somewhat risky, and Xue Yang did have the intention to train troops.
As for the central defender position, Xue Yang did not start Yan Sha.
If this is because Yansha failed in the last game, it is better to let him rest for a game just to be on the safe side.
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
Compared with Guangzhou R&F, Tianjin Wei's biggest advantage is definitely the midfield.
Xue Yang couldn't help but smile when he looked at his opponent's lineup.
At this time, Guangzhou R&F had the ball and was passing the ball continuously, but suddenly a through ball was passed.
Of course, Shao Yi was looking for the ball, and Shao Yi increased his speed to the fastest.
He chased along the sideline and soon caught up with the football.
But Bu Qin was not slow either, and Bu Qin quickly caught up with Shao Yi.
After receiving the ball, Shao Yi dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and Bu Qin was about to come up to him.
Shao Yi knew that he needed to pass the ball at this time, so he made a decisive pass and passed the football into the penalty area.
At this time, Guangzhou R&F's forward Hamed was in the penalty area, and center back Hao Zigang was blocking Hamed.
This made Hamed very uncomfortable. Hamed joined Guangzhou R&F last season.
In past experience, China's local defenders would use physical confrontation to suppress the opponent.
However, he discovered something different today. In fact, he had been mentally prepared before.
When playing against Tianjin Wei last season, Tianjin Wei’s local players were also stronger than the last.
He originally thought that after all the main players left, Tianjin Wei's defense would be weaker.
However, what he didn't expect was that the new player Hao Zigang was so strong.
He was actually at a complete disadvantage, and was finally pushed out by Hao Zigang.
Just when everyone thought this was a successful defense, they suddenly discovered that Guangzhou R&F forward Hamed was rolling back and forth.
