Reporter Wang Wei reports Li Weifeng and his Guangzhou City side held on for a point against the attacking group led by Kante. On the night of the 8th, at the Mission Hills Football Foundation Stadium in Haikou, the Guangzhou City team won a 0-0 draw compared to the first stage in Haikou, where they did not score a point, and when they returned to Haikou, the Guangzhou City team had an actual result of 1 point. After the match, Guangzhou City team coach Li Weifeng revealed: “We have a very detailed arrangement for the four foreign players in Cangzhou. Every player on the field should have done a good job.”
As we all know, after joining the Cangzhou Lions, Kante broke the Quartet, scored 6 goals in 5 games, and created 4 assists, which raised the strength of this team to a level, and before the match against Guangzhou City, The Cangzhou Lions have won three consecutive victories, and their opponents even include the leader Wuhan Three Towns.
Li Weifeng attaches great importance to such relegation opponents. After the 1-1 draw with the Shenzhen team at home on the night of October 4, he immediately put his players into preparations for the match with the Cangzhou Lions. Faced with the sudden rise of the Cangzhou Lions after the second transfer, Li Weifeng had to carefully analyze with the players how to deal with the attacking group of the Cangzhou Lions led by Kante.
When he was a player, Li Weifeng was born a central defender. He has a very deep understanding of defense. From a player to a coach, he knows how to improve the toughness of the defense. Li Weifeng analyzes and guides the players in the midfield and the backcourt in particular, and even does a simulated defense on the training ground. After the game, Guangzhou City goalkeeper Han Jiaqi revealed, “The coaching staff analyzed the opponent’s very notable players, and then we still achieve our goal step by step according to the coach’s usage.”
It is worth noting that Li Weifeng insisted on using the three central defender tactics after he took over as the head coach of the Guangzhou City Team, and took the captain Tang Miao from the original right wing back to the central defender position , and marked the deep-footed striker Achim Peng in the last round. At that time, Tang Miao, who switched to playing central defender, played a very good role, limiting Achim Peng’s performance.
After trying to play against Shenzhen Football, Tang Miao still started as a central defender in the match against the Cangzhou Lions. He joined Yi Teng and Jiang Jihong to form a third central defender. From the point of view of Guangzhou City’s defensive end composition, a combination of three central defenders and two full backs Liao Jiajun and Ning An is formed. And this back line completely blocked the attacking group of the Cangzhou Lions. In this game, in addition to Su Zu, the Cangzhou Lions sent the attacking group of Oscar + Owusu + Kanter. The Guangzhou City team gave man-to-man defense against Kante, and the back line led by Tang Miao played a good role in the hand-to-hand battle against Kante.
After the match, Li Weifeng revealed the detailed defensive arrangement: “We can see that a number of foreign aids from Cangzhou in the last three or four rounds are in very good condition, and the ability, impact and personal skills of their foreign aids are all good right. We have something special for them. In terms of detailed arrangements, every player on the court should have done a good job, and be able to do a good job of pre-match requirements and arrangements.”
After the draw with the Cangzhou team, Guangzhou City’s points reached 11 points, only one point behind the Guangzhou team playing against Meizhou Hakka today. Since Li Weifeng became the head coach of Guangzhou City Team, he has achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and got 8 points. Although the situation has greatly improved, the team’s task of destruction is still demanding. The 5 rounds are very short for Li Weifeng, and he still has a lot of work to do.
Unfortunately for Guangzhou City, the team’s core foreign support, Guillermé, was injured and left the field after a quick run in the second half. It is understood that his injuries will need to wait for further tests to be confirmed. As there will be a rest period in the next league, this period also gives recovery time for Guillerme, Cardona and others who are injured.
“If you can’t win, then don’t lose the game.” Cangzhou Lions coach Sablic repeated his football motto after the match. For the Guangzhou City team, which cannot be strengthened in the summer window, if they can achieve the essence of the motto of Sablic football, they can also keep their hopes of relegation.
