Chongqing Tonglianglong: Although young, he can fight tough battles

Reporter Lu Mi reports As the focus of the 8th round of the Chinese League, Chongqing Tongliang Dragons' away match against Guangzhou Leopards attracted attention, because both teams are the favorites this year. Surprisingly, the Tongliang Dragons, who were playing away, performed quite strongly, crushing the home team with crazy attacks, and finally won 5-1 against the opponent.

Tonglianglong's offensive end blossomed more, and Xiang Yu scored again after two rounds, and Carrillo scored in four consecutive rounds. In the first 8 rounds, Tonglianglong defeated two strong opponents, Liaoning Iron Man and Guangzhou Leopard, and declared his strength and determination with an undefeated record at the beginning.

Before the start of the new season of the Chinese League, Chongqing Tongliang Dragons, Guangzhou Leopards and Liaoning Iron Man were all regarded by the outside world as the favorites for this year's overtaking. Tonglianglong defeated Liaoning Iron Man at home as early as the second round, and now they are visiting Yuexiushan Stadium and facing another tough battle. In this Tongliang Dragons team, head coach Salvador and Zhang Zhixiong and many other players are from the original Guangzhou team and are old acquaintances of Guangzhou football.

The strength of Guangzhou Leopard is comparable to that of Tonglianglong, and it belongs to the strong dialogue of the Chinese League this season. "We knew it was going to be a very tough game before we came to Guangzhou, and although we won it, our opponents also caused us a lot of problems during the game. The win was due to the fact that we had prepared well before the game, and the whole team remained focused until the referee blew the final whistle. El Salvador said.

Throughout the game, Chongqing Tonglianglong showed a strong desire to attack. In the 20th minute, Tonglianglong's corner kick attacked, Guangzhou Leopards made a fatal mistake in the back, Jiang Jihong accidentally put himself in an oolong, and Tonglianglong led 1-0. Subsequently, Tongliang Dragon took advantage of the victory to pursue and bloom at more points. It is worth mentioning that Xiang Yuwang's performance in this game is amazing. Previously, he played two games with a broken nose bone and a mask, but he didn't score in those two games. He took off his mask and his scoring sensation was restored, and in the 30th minute, he doubled his lead with two consecutive shots on goal.

In the 37th minute, Zhang Zhixiong scored from a free kick, allowing Tonglianglong to gain a huge advantage of 3-0. This free kick fully demonstrates Zhang Zhixiong's personal ability, and also shows Tonglianglong's careful arrangement of set-piece tactics. From the opening oolong, Xiang Yuwang's supplementary shot to Zhang Zhixiong's free kick goal, Tonglianglong's different players showed their skills on the offensive end, and they were full of firepower. Although Carlos pulled a goal back for the home team at the end of the first half, the goals of He Xiaoqiang and Carrillo in the second half fixed the score at 5-1, and a strong dialogue ended with a big victory for Tonglianglong.

Judging from this game, Chongqing Tonglianglong continued its hot state, and the offensive end blossomed more. Mask-free, Xiang Yuwang not only actively participated in the attack, but also created great chances for his teammates on several occasions, and he is currently joint top scorer with eight goals. His team-mate Carrillo has scored in four consecutive games after breaking his goal drought. On the team's three lines, there have been 6 domestic players who have scored goals, the youngest is Zhang Zhixiong, who has just joined Tonglianglong, who is only 18 years old, and the "oldest" is Ruan Qilong, who is only 24 years old.

El Salvador implemented the tactics of "combination of side and center + high pressing", which made Chongqing Tonglianglong's attack more three-dimensional, and in the five goals against Guangzhou Leopards, there were corner kicks to force the opponent to own goals, free kicks to score directly, and quick counterattack scores, showing the diversity of tactics.

After winning this key battle, it means that Chongqing Tonglianglong is one step closer to the annual goal. First defeated Liaoning Iron Man at home, and then defeated Guangzhou Leopards away, showing that this young team is not afraid of tough battles and can play tough battles, and has made significant progress compared with last year in terms of personal skills, psychological quality and overall performance. After 8 rounds of matches in the Chinese League, Chongqing Tonglianglong continued to lead with 7 wins and 1 draw and 22 points.
