Generally speaking, the performance of the two teams on the court is chaotic, and they have not played their expected skills and tactics, but have shown a state of collective defeat. This is related to the uneven lineup of the two teams, but there are also internal factors.
According to post-match reports, both teams have some problems. What are the problems? As an outsider, you can't comment, but at least through these two incidents, you can see some clues.
After Guangzhou Evergrande Group was eliminated, two notices were issued.
On the contrary, Shanghai Shenhua claimed to be a soldier all the way, and its self-positioning was clear in the morning. Under the leadership of head coach Cui Kangxi, he successively arranged troops and made effective defensive counterattacks. At least I played well and played two good games, but it hindered the cause of injury and overall strength. As a result, they were out like Shanghai and Evergrande. However, looking back at the game process, there is still something worth remembering.
"Wei Miao" Guoan advanced to the semi-finals
Beijing Guoan performed the best among the four teams, and the group stage went smoothly, drawing five games ahead of schedule, and the quarterfinals eliminated Tokyo FC by 1:0 to advance to the semi-finals. Guoan has the most comprehensive foreign aid lineup without major injuries. The three lines are played by Alan, Augusto, Vieira and Fernando respectively. Players play clearly on the court, and they can advance and retreat in an orderly way, whether attacking or defending.
"The defender wins the world."
According to the current regulations, in order to ensure the principle of fair competition, the group matches of the top four in East Asia should be redrawn and the results should be unified.
In the next semi-final, according to the international competition rules, the probability of winning or losing by a big score is not high. The more important the game, the less likely it is to attack on a large scale. Teams are generally cautious. They will firmly defend first, and then effectively organize the attack, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake and launch a fatal blow. Therefore, Guoan defense will face the biggest test of the AFC Champions League next. Fortunately, after experiencing the downturn in the group stage, Min Kim Jae, the defensive gate, can see that his state is slowly recovering in the game against Tokyo FC.
Although Guoan won't know who the top four opponents are until the lottery results, "the defender wins the world" is certain. These days, Guoan should focus on solid defense and effective counterattack training, supplemented by rest adjustment, actively prepare for the next game, and strive to create a new team history.
