Greentown's return + local live broadcast, Zhejiang team failed to "dream start"!

Special correspondent Xu Yi reports In the first two rounds of the new season, the Zhejiang team played against two promoted horses in a row, which seemed to be a "dream start", but in the first round of the game, the Zhejiang team had a little regret and failed to win, drawing 1-1 with Dalian InBev.


Before the start of the season, the Zhejiang team ushered in a "double happiness": Greentown named the team, and the local TV station re-broadcast the game, which made the team feel huge support.

Greentown returns to Zhejiang football in the form of a title


In the game on the afternoon of the 23rd, the Huanglong Sports Center once again sounded the sound of "Come on Greentown" - this is the long-lost shout of Zhejiang team fans.


Just before the start of the new season, Zhejiang Professional Football Club negotiated with Greentown China, reviewed by the Zhejiang Football Association and reported to the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Bureau, and after the review and approval of the Chinese Football Association Professional League Federation, Zhejiang Professional Football Club confirmed that it will compete in the 2025 season of professional competitions under the new name of "Zhejiang Professional Football Club Greentown Team" (hereinafter referred to as "Zhejiang Club Greentown"). On January 14, 1998, Zhejiang Greentown Football Club Co., Ltd. was established, and until last year, Greentown sold the shares of Zhejiang FC. This time, Greentown returned to Zhejiang football in the form of a title. In this regard, Kaneda, the head coach of the Zhejiang team, said: "Greentown has carried a lot for Zhejiang football, we all know the significance of it, and having such a title sponsor behind it is a huge motivation for the team, and of course we are all very happy." ”


Cheng Jin, one of the captains of the Zhejiang team, said: "As a player trained by Greentown Academy, I feel very heartwarming after hearing this news. Greentown has supported Zhejiang football for so many years, and now fans can shout 'Zhejiang Greentown come on' again, and I hope more fans can go to the scene to cheer for us." ”


In addition, the local TV station once again broadcast the game of Zhejiang Greentown, the last time the local TV station did a live broadcast of the Zhejiang team's game was in 2021, this year is the first time that the Zhejiang team returned to the Chinese Super League after the TV station did a live broadcast of the whole season's game, Hangzhou TV Youth Sports Channel will broadcast the whole game of the Zhejiang team.


In the "GOGOAL Football Carnival" launched before the game, Zhejiang FC officially signed a contract with Greentown China and Leapmotor.

Only one substitution was used in the game


In previous seasons, the Zhejiang team rarely stepped on the field at home before the game, and they all went to the stadium from the base on the day of the game. On the afternoon of the 22nd, the Zhejiang team went to the Huanglong Sports Center to step on the field, in order to have a better rest for the players, the Zhejiang team also stayed in the hotel next to the stadium on Saturday night, and the team's habit of stepping on the field before the game and staying in the city in advance may continue - the change of the team began from the pre-game preparation.


Zhejiang team did not renew the contract with Jodi this season, the new season by the Spanish coach Caneda as the head coach, the team also has some adjustments in the personnel, Gaudi, Gu Bin and Wang Dongsheng and other players left, considering that last season in the Chinese Super League conceded too many goals, Zhejiang Greentown in the introduction of domestic aid more consideration is the backfield players, including the introduction of goalkeeper Huo Shenping and two fullbacks Wang Shiqin and Tong Lei, the original loan of Sun Guowen completed the transfer, in addition to the return of several domestic players, offensive players introduced Tao Qianglong. In the case of Leonardo joining Shanghai Port, the Zhejiang team introduced Gabonese foreign aid Bupenza.


This year's winter training of the Zhejiang team is divided into two phases, first going to Haikou on January 5, and then going to the United Arab Emirates on January 24, and spending the New Year in the United Arab Emirates. Commenting on the goals of the winter training, which included intensive training and eight warm-up games, Kaneda said: "The core of the winter training is to find players who fit the existing formation, especially in terms of defensive organization, to reduce the percentage of goals conceded and thus enhance the team's competitiveness in the league. ”


In the game against InBev, the starting lineup of the Zhejiang team has two new faces: foreign aid Bupenza and domestic aid Wang Shiqin.


Zhejiang took the initiative in the first half, with captain Frank heading home from Patrice Evra's cross in the 10th minute. Patrice Evra and others wasted a couple of chances in the game, much to Kaneda's regret after the game: "We didn't score a good counter-attack chance, and if the score becomes 2-0, we can kill the game. [Our] chance didn't go through, Dalian kept hope and came alive on the field. They play efficiently and easily, finding two strikers, and they are also effective. New international player Bupenza is looking for a sense of scoring goals, and Caneda said: "After he came to the team, he had a small injury during winter training, and he didn't fully recover from the ankle injury, so he didn't join the team for a long time. When he recovers, he should be well committed to the team. ”


As Kaneda said, Dalian InBev "came alive" in the second half, with Kalanga creating back-to-back chances and eventually equalising with a header. Kaneda's response to the use of only one substitution in the game was: "I will take into account the timing of the substitutions, and I need to show more efficiency when I put people on the table. There weren't too many good times in today's game, and Pep Guardiola, the best coach in the world, often made zero substitutions. ”


In the next round of the Chinese Super League, the Zhejiang team will face another promoted team Yunnan Yukun away from home, in order to better adapt to the plateau, the Zhejiang team plans to go to Yunnan at the beginning of this week, they will go all out to fight for the first victory of the new season, can they do it in Yunnan?
