It is said that the most difficult city in 2020 is Wuhan, and Wuhan Zall, a super league team from Wuhan, has a hard time this year. Super League A advanced to the play-offs, and Wuhan Zall beat Zhejiang Greentown 3-2 in two rounds to avoid relegation.
Wuhan's road to relegation is full of twists and turns.
Before the start of the season, the Wuhan team experienced a lonely journey due to the epidemic. 5438+ 10 After the training in Guangzhou in June, the team was unable to return to Wuhan due to the Wuhan epidemic, and then moved to Spain for training. After the training, they moved to Frankfurt, Beijing and Shenzhen for centralized isolation. After a short break in Foshan, they didn't return to Wuhan until April 18.
Although the pre-season preparations encountered various twists and turns, Wuhan performed quite well at the beginning of the new season, and once ranked third in Group B. However, Wuhan experienced a three-game losing streak, and its head coach was dismissed, and its performance plummeted. It had a chance to enter the championship group, but in the end it had to fall into the relegation war.
Compared with the senior players relegated to the Super League, Wuhan Zall's relegation experience is particularly insufficient. Tianjin TEDA did not win a game in the first stage, but played well in the key games of the relegation group and succeeded early. Wuhan Zall played well in the first stage, but it fell off at the crucial moment.
The team lost to Henan Jianye and Qingdao Huanghai in the key game of relegation, with half a foot on the edge of the cliff. Finally, Wuhan Zall needs to compete with shijiazhuang yongchang for half the relegation qualification to participate in the relegation play-offs. After two rounds of bitter battles with Shijiazhuang, Wuhan beat Yongchang 2-/kloc-0 with the excellent performance of foreign aid Evras, and struggled to grab this half of the relegation quota.
Next, we need to compete with Zhejiang Greentown, the second place in China, for the final Super League quota. Although the strength is dominant, Wuhan's performance in this key game has also made fans sweat. In the first round, they led by two goals, but they were equalized by their opponents. In the second round, they beat their opponents with a penalty, thus avoiding relegation. Zall's anticlimactic performance this season needs to be summarized at the end of the season.
The FA Cup broke through the difficult relegation of the historical league, but the FA Cup Wuhan Zall played all the way. In the FA Cup1quarter final, Wuhan beat Guoan 3-0 and entered the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Although Guoan only sent two teams to participate in the FA Cup because of the AFC Champions League, Wuhan is also an all-China class. Being able to make history in the FA Cup is also the harvest of the team's attention and investment in the game.
Due to the strategic abandonment of the AFC Champions League team, the competitiveness of this season's FA Cup has been greatly reduced. In addition, many teams give foreign aid a holiday early after the end of the league, and the FA Cup is more about the competition between local players and reserve players. Fans who know China players must know that the strength of local players in the Super League is equally divided, and the gap is not so obvious. What is missing is the experience of the game.
The matching between Wuhan and Beijing is particularly obvious. Although it is a relegation team and an all-China class, the Wuhan team has many international players and quasi-international players, and the lineup still has certain strength. Guoan's youth army is also well-trained, which also shows that the team has certain combat effectiveness.
People who have seen the Super League should understand that there is still a huge gap between U23 players and the main players, not to mention the reserve team and echelon players. Compared with Wuhan, the young players in Guoan still showed a huge strength gap, and the first half of the game was almost over. The lack of competition experience made Guoan's defense make frequent mistakes, and losing two goals early made the game lose suspense.
However, Wuhan has almost no chance of winning, which also makes this season's FA Cup particularly lame. The result of the game is no longer important. More fans want to see whether the performance of young players can make people shine, but the result is also disappointing. Regardless of the technical and tactical level, the difference in physical talent is particularly obvious. Guoan's players are obviously thinner than those in Wuhan. This will obviously be a huge disadvantage in a sport full of physical confrontation like football. The competition also reflects the current situation of youth football training in China, and good young football players are really rare.
From the newly promoted horse in the first season of the Super League to relegation, Wuhan Zall has undoubtedly injected a fresh blood into the league. Finally, the sixth place in the league is also a very good result for the newly promoted horse, and it also makes fans full of expectations for Wuhan. However, this season, Wuhan has fallen into a difficult relegation situation, and the huge contrast before and after has to be thought-provoking. In the new season, Wuhan has a long way to go if it wants to make a difference.
Of course, this year, due to the special competition system, the championship and relegation of the league have certain contingency. If we still follow the previous league system, Wuhan should not be downgraded, but this is the case with competitive sports. In the face of the same competition system, only by playing every game well can we ensure good results.
According to the normal competition system, Wuhan is still at the middle level of the league, but the turmoil and problems of the team are also problems that have to be faced. This season is anticlimactic. In the first stage, I once squeezed into the champion group, but finally I had to be relegated. The reason needs to be reflected.
From winning streak to losing streak, coupled with the sudden change of coaches, many operations in Wuhan have puzzled the outside world. If it weren't for the operation of our own gods, Wuhan might not have fallen to the point of relegation. In the case of intensive schedule and tight epidemic situation, it is undoubtedly a failure to choose to change coaches in a hurry. Changing coaches is like changing knives, which has played an ideological role this time, and the team's record has fallen instead of rising. It is estimated that Wuhan himself regrets the original decision.
In any case, the past achievements are a foregone conclusion, and staying in Wuhan is also an escape. If Wuhan wants to change its lifestyle in the new season, it is imperative to determine the team coach as soon as possible and get the team back on track as soon as possible.
