Reporter Lu Mi reports After Nanji's class, Henan's first game was at home against Three Towns, the first Chinese Super League team to change their coach this season. The new coach Ramos watched the game live, the Chinese coaching staff commanded the game, although the team was in good spirits and scored first, but was finally reversed by the three towns, Ramos has a lot of problems to solve.
After Nanji's class, the Chinese coaching staff led by Lu Feng led the team, and before the game, he took Zhong Yihao to attend the press conference, which was an important signal to make personnel changes. In the game, Lu Feng did make a number of adjustments, such as Zhong Yihao and Huang Zichang finally returned to the starting lineup, which was the first time this season. In addition, Niu Ziyi started and formed a left and right fullback with Huang Ruifeng; He Chao and Wang Shangyuan partnered in the midfield; Foreign striker Cardoso was not included in the squad due to injury.
When the team was preparing for the game, yesterday afternoon, the new coach Ramos arrived in Zhengzhou with three assistant coaches, and many fans went to the airport to pick them up. For the evening's game, Ramos watched the game from the rostrum of the Nautical Stadium.
Three Towns is in the best stage of the season, a change of coach is like a change of knife, Deng Zhuoxiang is the acting coach, and Three Towns is out of the relegation zone. The two sides are close in strength, and the game is destined to be stalemate.
At the beginning of the game, Henan chose to take the initiative. It can be seen that after Nanji left, many players had a mental head, especially the players who returned to the game, and they all wanted to prove themselves. Lu Feng discharged four defenders, Zhong Yihao and Huang Zichang were very active, and after Huang Ruifeng pulled to the right side, he also frequently stepped forward to participate in the attack; Achimpong, who was in the middle, had a lot of support from his teammates. Three Towns put on a low profile and used Palacios' speed and explosiveness to counter-attack.
However, although the quality of Henan's crosses from the two wings is very high, the success rate of the battle for the top is not high due to the lack of a genuine center, and the feeling of being on the verge of the goal is not good. In this case, the two sides are in a stalemate phase most of the time.
Not long after the start of the second half, Henan finally scored, relying on a corner kick by central defender Maidana, who has already scored four goals this season.
It's actually a rather embarrassing situation, as a defender, Maidana is the team's top scorer. After the opponent stepped up their offensive and equalized in the 63rd minute, Henan was very passive, and in the 89th minute, Sauer assisted Tudolie, and Henan suffered a reversal and eventually lost the game.
This is the second time this season that Henan have suffered a reversal at home. From the personnel point of view, the difference in strength between the two sides is not large, but the biggest shortcoming of the Henan team's lineup this season is that there is not enough foreign aid in the attack line - because the two foreign aid places are used in the central defender, the irony is that the goals conceded have not decreased, and it has affected the attack.
When the opponent launched an attack and the pressure on the defensive line increased, the offensive end of the Henan team could not share the pressure and often conceded goals in the second half of the game. This is a problem that the new coach Ramos must solve.
Compared with the Henan team, Three Towns is lucky, plus the last round of games, has been reversed in two consecutive rounds and won consecutive victories, although Deng Zhuoxiang is only the acting coach, but he has done a good job, Wuhan fans are very convinced of him, and the club has temporarily put aside the plan to find a new coach.
In the next round, the Henan team will continue to sit at home, Ramos will command the game, the opponent is the same two consecutive defeats of the Jinmen Tigers, the Jinmen Tigers in this round of personnel rotation, the result of the away loss to Xinpeng City; And Wang Shangyuan, the core of the midfield of the Henan team, accumulated yellow cards and was suspended for the next round.
