Changchun Yatai lost to the relegation team Qingdao Manatee 0-/kloc-0 in the last round of the league, and lost to the leader Shanghai 0-2 in the last round. In this way, Yatai suffered a two-game losing streak at home after winning two consecutive victories in Chengdu Rongcheng and Cangzhou Lions. Now, Yatai is temporarily ranked ninth in the Super League standings and is in the leading position in the second half. However, Yatai is not much different from the lions in Henan and Cangzhou behind him. If he continues to perform poorly, the ranking may fall further.
After Serginho returned from injury, Yatai's midfield organization and scoring ability have been greatly improved. However, after Leonardo left the team, the Serbian striker Lukic was introduced in the summer window as a supplement to the team's offensive firepower, but he was always unable to adapt to the environment of the Super League. He played eight league games for the team, 1 FA Cup, with zero goals and zero assists.
Beijing Guoan was beaten one after another before and after the league break. First, in the last game before the intermission, he was eliminated by his old rival Taishan in the penalty shootout of the FA Cup1quarter final, and stopped in the quarter-finals, losing the possibility of finding another way in the FA Cup. Then in the first game after halftime, the home team lost 0-/kloc-0-0 to Zhejiang, and then the good momentum of winning three consecutive games without losing five rounds came to an abrupt end.
During the intermission of Guoan League, many players such as Wang, Li Ke, Li Lei, Han, Duan Dezhi, Liang Shaowen and Naibijiang were selected into a series of warm-up matches and official matches, which had a great impact on the team's training and preparation during the intermission. Because the middle and upper reaches of the Super League are biting each other very tightly, Guoan dropped two places, from fourth to sixth, after losing in the last round of league matches.
Changchun Yatai vs Beijing Guoan Competition Highlights;
1. Lukic, a newly introduced foreign aid striker from Changchun Yatai, has won golden boots in Serbia's Super League and First League in the past. His strength is beyond doubt. He needs to integrate into the team as soon as possible and adapt to the new game and living environment. When will Lukic's first individual goal in the Super League come?
2. After a period of adaptation, Beijing Guoan coach Suarez has steadily improved his coaching performance since he took up his new job in the Super League. Whether the young Portuguese can adjust the team's state and physical reserve to a good direction as soon as possible.
3. Although the players who transferred from Beijing Guoan to the national team and U22 national team have returned, they still need time to adjust their status. In the list of U23 national teams preparing for the Asian Games, only Tan Long was selected as an over-age player in Changchun Yatai, while Japan, Korea and China were on the list of Beijing Guoan, which was obviously more affected than Yatai. In this game, Guoan is also a guest in Changchun, and it is difficult to get three points.
