1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 9th In the 14th round of the Chinese Super League this Saturday, Zhejiang team played against Shanghai Harbour at home. The Football Newspaper wrote that Zhejiang team had lost all the teams in the previous game against the top six, and the team hoped to usher in a “turning” victory for the Port.
The Zhejiang team has 8 days off and rest time after the FA Cup, and the team retrained on May 29. Caneda continues to consolidate the overall tactics of 532 without a center, and the focus of training is on small-scale cooperation and special technical training. The confrontation with the harbor will initially test the training results of Caneda during this period.
Caneda said in an interview with reporters: “The training after returning to the team is full of passion and dedication, and I am very happy to see this.” What particularly satisfies him is that the players “execute the training very perfectly” on the court these days.
It is worth noting that players such as Wang Yudong, Wang Shiqin, Liu Haofan, Huo Shenping, and Bao Shengxin have missed recent training due to national competition tasks. In addition, Cheng Jin was not selected for the national football team due to a knee injury. With the full cooperation of the club’s medical rehabilitation team, he conducted one-on-one rehabilitation training at the rehabilitation center and the gym.
The friendly match of the U22 national team to visit Belarus ended on June 8, and the top 18 of the national football team will finish the farewell match in Chongqing on the evening of the 10th. Zhejiang team’s main central defenders Liu Haofan, Wang Shiqin, and main shooter Wang Yudong will all rush back to Hangzhou after the game to prepare for the home game of the Chinese Super League this Saturday with their club teammates.
Huo Shenping and Bao Shengxin served as substitutes in the club and the national team. Wang Yudong started in the away game against Indonesia in the national football team, and became one of the few highlights in the 0-1 loss. Wang Shiqin, who was selected for the national football team again, also took a step further and was included in the 23-person competition list of the national football team; Liu Haofan continued to serve as the main player of the U22 national team, starting in the 1-1 draw with Belarus U21.
Judging from the overall performance of the previous rounds of the league, the Zhejiang team has adapted to launching an attack without players as fulcrum. Wang Yudong and Tao Qianglong have shown their strengths and achieved their own achievements in the new tactical system. However, the adverse impact of Cheng Jin’s injury on the midfield organization was a bit magnified in the subsequent away loss to Taishan and draw at home in Henan. His comeback will be at least one or two months.
After intermittent training and potential tapping, the midfield is out of controlWhether the problem can be alleviated is crucial to Caneda, who pursues a balance between offense and defense, and will also become a key factor in the battle situation when facing the harbor.
Zhejiang team has previously played against Guoan, Shenhua, Rongcheng and Taishan, and has not scored a single point at home and away games. Caneda admitted that his team’s performance was not ideal when they fought against the top teams in the Chinese Super League this year, so in the next home game, what needs to be done is to “weak the opponent’s advantages as much as possible and give full play to its strengths as much as possible.”
This Saturday will be Leonardo’s first return to Huanglong Stadium. In the past season and a half, the Brazilian has scored 36 goals for Zhejiang 54 appearances, reaching the peak of his Chinese Super League career, winning a golden boot and a silver boot. This time, he was still wearing the No. 45 jersey, but he was already the striker of the visiting team.
This not only adds suspense to the game, but also makes Zhejiang fans think a lot. On the one hand, Leonardo will undoubtedly be welcomed and will be treated as “going home”; on the other hand, it’s good to come back, no one in Hangzhou wants to see him score in this round. Leonardo’s efficiency in his new owner is not as good as Wang Yudong, and he is 6-8 behind in goals. Leonardo was bought out by Hai Harbour when his loan was expired, and he became an opponent from a comrade-in-arms; Wang Yudong renewed his contract with Zhejiang, took the lead in the front line, and was promoted from a young player to a main player. The two’s competition is quite interesting.
The summer transfer window for the Chinese Super League is about to open, and Zhejiang Greentown, which has only 4 foreign players on the list, will also be strengthened. “We are preparing for the opening of the summer window, and the club is preparing to introduce powerful foreign players.” Caneda hopes that new players can join the team to participate in joint training as soon as possible, thus bringing practical help to the team.
It is reported that before the league interval, the club has “finding guns” everywhere, and has also grasped the latest situation and willingness to join some foreign players and naturalized players. It is urgent to introduce strong players and rebuild offensive and defensive balance.
In the game against Harbour, the players who can still be used are still those who can only improve their combat effectiveness through tactical adjustments. Caneda has a clear understanding of the difficulty of the game: “Harbour is undoubtedly a strong team. Although their overall strength has declined slightly this year after the departure of Oscars and Vargas, their overall performance is still very strong.”
