The time came on April 21, when Xue Yang led the team to Hunan.
Because today will usher in the sixth round of the Chinese League One, we will challenge Hunan Xiangtao away from home.
Hunan Xiangtao is definitely not a weak team and currently ranks fourth in the Chinese League One.
Originally, they performed well at the beginning of the season and had a complete victory record with Tianjin Wei.
But then they were dealt with a very controversial penalty, and unfortunately they only got a draw.
In the last round, they met Shanghai East Asia again and eventually lost to their opponents away from home.
Their ranking also dropped to fourth place, but their strength is still very strong.
The most famous player in their team is former Manchester United star Dong Fangzi.
In this crucial battle, something bad happened soon.
The team's main forward Herrera was injured, which gave Xue Yang a headache.
So Xue Yang could only let Jiang Bin go up front. This was not his first time playing forward.
He had played as a forward once before, and although he scored a goal, the effect was not very good.
Secondly, right back Zhou Song is in very poor condition, and Xue Yang will definitely not let him start.
In the end, Xue Yang formulated a 4-3-3 formation, and the starting lineup was also determined:
Goalkeeper: 12 Guo Chunbo (49).
Defenders: 29 Zhang Wei (51), 4 Fortunato (71), 24 Wang Pan (68), 27 Zhang Cheng (52).
Midfielders: 15 Lu Lewen (71), 23 Dong Yourong (69), 10 Leo Silva (71).
Forwards: 7 Zhu Haiwei (56), 19 Jiang Bin (72), 11 Xu Bo (54).
Although several main players are unable to play, this lineup is still okay.
Xue Yang may be most worried about Jiang Bin. It is somewhat reluctant to let him play the center position.
Soon the opponent's lineup was determined, and the official 4-4-2 formation was given:
Goalkeeper: 17 Wang Hao Yi;
Defenders: 4 Cao Huan, 27 Zhao Wei, 7 Wang Qing, 14 Bai Yuexuan;
Midfielder: 19 Martinez, 12 Henriquez, 30 Liu Sui, 28 Dai Qianhua;
Forwards: 9 Cardoso, 11 Dong Fangzi.
Xue Yang looked at the opponent's starting lineup, and there were some surprises.
He did his homework before the game and knew that their two central defenders were actually midfielders.
But today, when I play as a central defender, it seems that they may be short of players at the central defender position.
The second is their tactical formation, although it is a 4-4-2 formation.
But they don't have a winger in the team. Foreign aid Martinez can barely play as a left winger, but there is really no right winger.
So if nothing unexpected happens, the opponent will use a four-midfield contraction formation.
Moreover, two of the players are foreign players, and it would be good to have two forwards on the front line.
In fact, the overall strength is still quite strong, but Dong Fangzuo is no longer what it was back then.
Dong Fang's desk has declined a lot now. Although he is famous, Xue Yang is not that worried about him.
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
Many fans from the opposing team came to the scene to cheer for their team.
And they also know that Tianjin Wei is not a weak team and has not suffered a defeat in the league so far.
It’s completely different from last season, not even a little bit better.
Among them, they were most worried about Jiang Bin and Herrera. What made them relieved was that Herrera did not start this game.
Today Xue Yang specifically asked the defensive players to pay attention to the opponent's high-altitude balls and set-pieces.
Because today the opponent's two forwards are both tall, but their first threat to attack was not a high-altitude ball.
Midfielder Henriquez sent an overhead pass forward, trying to find Cardoso in front.
Cardoso ran forward with all his strength, but the ball was still passable.
Cardoso stopped the ball firmly on the left side of the penalty area, and goalkeeper Guo Chunbo struck immediately.
Because the passing distance was quite far, Guo Chunbo's original intention was to catch the football before Cardoso.
But he underestimated Cardoso's speed. Not only was Cardoso tall, he was also quite fast.
When Cardoso saw Guo Chunbo attack, he was brave enough to choose the hanging door directly.
The football fell towards the goal in a parabola, and then fell into the goal.
This pass came too suddenly. The Tianjin Guard's defense had not yet concentrated, and the football was passed like this.
Seeing the football hit the net, Xue Yang shook his head helplessly.
He needs to take some responsibility for conceding the goal, as he failed to keep up with Cardoso.
It is indeed because Enriquez's pass was too sudden and Wang Pan's reaction was a little slow.
Originally Fortunato wanted to make up the defense, but Cardoso actually chose to hang the goal.
Cardoso was very excited after the goal. They knew that Tianjin Wei was very strong.
Otherwise, he would not have lost until now. Helping the team take the lead makes him very happy.
At this time, all the Tianjin Wei players were stunned on the spot. They did not expect that they would fall behind.
Tianjin Wei Tai has been going smoothly this season, and Xue Yang from the sidelines applauded towards the court.
"It doesn't matter! We can get it back!" Xue Yang shouted loudly.
Tianjin Wei recovered quickly and no one wanted to lose.
Now Tianjin Wei is the only team with a complete victory, and they hope to continue this record.
Because Jiang Bin moved to the forward position, the team's wing offense became much worse today.
Compared with Jiang Bin, Zhu Haiwei and Xu Bo's strength is still far behind, but their strength is still acceptable in the Chinese League One.
Although not as stunning as Jiang Bin, it is still quite satisfactory.
A small number of Tianjin fans came to the scene today, and they clearly saw the difference.
Obviously, Jiang Bin plays a greater role in the winger position, but in the forward position, Jiang Bin plays a much smaller role.
Time did not pass too long, and Tianjin Wei got a chance for a corner kick.
But Xue Yang knows that Tianjin Wei's level in corner kicks and set kicks is actually quite average.
Leo Silva was responsible for taking the penalty, and indeed no one else could be found.
He took a corner kick and the football flew into the penalty area.
But the position was not very good and he was hit by the opponent's center back.
The football then flew to the right side of the penalty area, and Xu Bo successfully got the football.
Xu Bo first stepped on the football and then continued to pass.
The football flew into the penalty area again, and this time he made an adjustment to pass the ball.
But still unable to find his teammates, goalkeeper Wang Haoyi hit the football.
But the football was not thrown away and flew towards the penalty spot.
Jiang Bin happened to be here at this time. Jiang Bin lowered his center of gravity and made a gesture to volley.
Then he swiped his right foot directly towards the flying football. You must know that goalkeeper Wang Haoyi was not in a very good position at this time in order to hit the cross ball.
It's a pity that Jiang Bin was unlucky and the football hit the opponent's player.
But by some strange combination of circumstances, the football bounced towards midfielder Dong Yourong.
Dong Yourong subconsciously pointed towards the football, and it hit the goal.
In this chaotic battle, Dong Yourong was lucky enough to score a goal.
