The front is weak, and Zhejiang Greentown is uneven and promoted

Special correspondent Zuo Ruiyuxi reports Led in the first half and equalised in the second. Zhejiang Greentown, led by Kaneda, faced the promoted horses in two consecutive rounds, with the same advantage in the scene, staged the same plot, and even the result was the same 1 to 1. After a 1-1 draw with Yunnan Yukun on the evening of March 1, Kaneda thought the score was acceptable to both sides, but Zhejiang fans, including the 400 expeditionary force on site, probably wouldn't think so.

The captain scored consecutive goals


On the afternoon of February 23, after giving Dalian InBev the first point of the Chinese Super League at Huanglong Stadium, in order to win the plateau away, the Spaniards did their homework: the unprecedented decision to camp at the Hongta base three days in advance received the expected results at the Yuxi Plateau Sports Center, and the physical condition of the whole team was not inferior to Yunnan Yukun; The line-up was also clearly targeted, effectively curbing the home team's performance and the way they were playing – even better than the first-round trip to Beijing Guoan, who had enough of the pressure in the first 30 minutes before getting back on track.


In first-half stoppage time, Titian Lee headed in a corner and Frank scored with a header, once again proving the value of these two veterans. The fact that the goals in the first two rounds all came from the captain and the soul of the midfield, also contrasted with the embarrassment of the Zhejiang team's forward line, which is the most important problem to be solved, is becoming more and more urgent.


The backline, which conceded 60 goals last season, has been significantly improved in the two games since Caneda took over, with a reshuffled defensive line and possession in the midfield effectively limiting Yukun's attacking opportunities. Zhejiang Greentown conceded the second goal of the season similar to the previous one, both of which were from set-pieces. Not letting go of any opportunity and striving for goals is not only the biggest highlight of Yunnan Yukun's game, but also the biggest shortcoming of Zhejiang Greentown.


Undoubtedly, Caneda is aware of the problem. After a near-perfect first half, he said: "We didn't stop attacking in the second half, and even after the opponent equalised, we had more than one chance to kill the game, but unfortunately we didn't score on the counter-attack. As early as the second training day in Kunming, he stressed to Wang Yudong the importance of strengthening the desire to shoot and improving the finishing ability. The same applies to the rest of the room, including Bupenza, who started two days later, and Patrice Evra and Owusu who came on as substitutes.

The absence of the Terminator


The high hopes for Bupenza's second appearance were better than his debut, proving that in addition to going it alone, creating opportunities for his team-mates through aggressive scrambling and passing is what the Gabonese striker is good at. In Yuxi, he and Wang Yudong partnered for the first time, and they both wanted to fulfill each other and take care of the whole team, but in fact, the Chinese Super League goal account they had not yet opened was the hope of the whole team.


18-year-old Wang Yudong's season debut was "almost perfect", which was not only praised by Caneda, but also by the audience. Through the ability to break through the opponent's defense alone, the characteristics of using speed to break down the opponent, including the mutual care with his midfield teammates, Wang Yudong's tactical significance was fully demonstrated in this game. If there was a fly in the ointment, he also missed two headers and two kick-off shots to finish the game. Kaneda said after the game that he believes in time, Wang Yudong will become "the best player in China".


Compared with the past data, Owusu and Evra, who are no longer in the same state, must soberly face the new situation of intensified internal competition and changes in external conditions. Caneda has repeatedly declared that only players who are in the right form, level and ability are given the opportunity to play, and this principle applies to everyone, including young players. Owusu and Patrice Evra failed to start this round and failed to complete their tasks after coming off the bench, which is a problem for them to solve next.


In addition to Wang Yudong, Kaneda also affirmed the performance of two new international players Liu Haofan and Wang Shiqin, "They are fully worthy of the call-up of the national team." "Especially Wang Shiqin, who has only played in the Chinese League before, but with his good performance during the winter training, he has already earned himself a place in the Chinese Super League. Throughout the game, Wang Shiqin's defense was strong and the assists were in place, but the quality of the pass still needed to be improved. And the contest between Liu Haofan and Enrique, the temporary captain of Yukun and the leading figure in the frontline, is also the eye-catching part of this game. In the face of the battle-hardened and tall Brazilian striker, Liu Haofan fought close again and again, not only did not let the opponent take advantage, but also resolutely implemented the intention of the coaching staff.


In the interview, Caneda was mindful of his dual mission: "to improve the competitiveness of the team and shape the future of the club." "After arriving in the Chinese Super League and Lianping the new army, I think he will understand better that if he can't finish the opponent, he will be terminated by the opponent; If you can't focus on reality, you can't guarantee the future. With Zhejiang Greentown's existing staffing and tactical set-up, this powerhouse should be intimidating once the Terminator appears or breaks out.
