1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 9th The Chinese Super League rekindled this week, with Guoan playing against Yatai at home. The Football Newspaper wrote an article saying that Guoan has only one goal, that is, to get 3 points.
Beijing Guoan faces Changchun Yatai in the 14th round of the Chinese Super League. Guoan will face the old coach Suarez, which is quite eye-catching. On June 15, 2023, Suarez became the head coach of Guoan. In the 54 official games he led the team, Guoan achieved a record of 30 wins, 11 draws and 13 losses. Such a result is not bad. After all, the strength of the personnel at that time could not be compared with the present.
It’s just that Suarez has never completely conquered Beijing fans. After he took over the Guoan coach, he was criticized in many games. Although the club once renewed his contract until the end of 2025, he was dismissed and left early.
Faced with the former head coach, Guoan team will not show any mercy. Fabio was brought to the Chinese Super League by Suarez. He said: Suarez is his football godfather, but now he is Guoan’s opponent, and he will definitely do his best to defeat his team. Fabio revealed that he had communicated with Suarez and told Guoan that there was only one goal at his home court, which was to score 3 points.
However, Fabio also hopes that Guoan fans can give Suarez an applause during the game. After all, Suarez has made contributions to Guoan, and he has deep feelings for Guoan and the city of Beijing.
The Guoan intermission period has 11 days off, and the players get a valuable rest period. On June 2, the team reassembled and officially moved into the new base. Although the new base is still rented, the first time the two parties signed a contract was for 5 years. With all the perfect conditions, it gave Guoan a stable home.
On June 7, Guoan held a warm-up match with Tianjin Tigers at the new base. What is very interesting is that after Guoan moved to the new base, Tianjin Hu used Guoan’s previous training base as a temporary training location during the interval period, and the whole team also moved into the business hotel temporarily rented by Guoan.
The game between Guoan and Tianjin Tigers is divided into three quarters, each with 45 minutes. Guoan lacks many international players. In each quarter, six or seven first-team players are matched with three or four U21 players and U19 players. In the first quarter, Tianjin Tigers scored two goals first, GuoanFeng Boxuan assisted Fabio to win a goal, and neither side made any achievements in the second quarter. In the third quarter, Guoan team relied on Yang Liyu’s assist, and Fang Hao equalized the score. Guoan got another two-day holiday, and two days later the team gathered and entered the final preparation stage with Yatai.
Judging from the performance of the warm-up match, Guoan, who lacks many international players, has been affected some, so Setien is also very concerned about the physical condition of the players selected for the national team. After the national team returned to China after playing against Indonesia, Guoan had contacted several international players to understand their situation.
For so many international players absent from training and have not received any rest in the national team training camp. In addition, the national team was eliminated early, Guoan is very worried that the international players will be affected. Setien hopes that the players should concentrate and do their best to play the game in Chongqing on June 10. Only by exerting their greatest abilities can they maintain their best condition and avoid injuries.
The match between Guoan and Yatai seems to be without any suspense. After all, Yatai ranks at the bottom, and Guoan has been unbeaten in 19 games in various competitions, but Guoan said that he will never underestimate any opponent, not to mention that his opponent’s head coach Suarez is very familiar with most of Guoan’s players. In the league before the interval, Guoan team was tied by Qingdao Hainiu, which made the team not careless.
Setien has always hoped to instill his tactical ideas into the team in the shortest time, but he is also slowly changing. The Spanish coach knows that Chinese players cannot be measured by the requirements for European players, and they need to gradually improve their overall technical level and understanding of skills and tactics. Indeed, for him, the most important thing now is his results. Guoan must not make a mistake like the big score lead and was finally tied by the three towns in Wuhan.
