The new coach and new signings will welcome the debut of the workers' sports, and Guoan will show its determination to compete for the championship

Reporter Liu Xiangyu reports On March 29, Beijing Guoan will face Chengdu Rongcheng at home, which is the first time that Gongti has opened its doors this season, and it is also the first time that Guoan's new coach and new signings have made their home debut. Beijing Guoan shouted for the title this season, so facing a strong team like Rongcheng at home must ensure that all three points are won.

In the previous two games, Guoan fought away in a row, first defeating Yunnan Yukun 2-0 and getting a good start to the league in the plateau; After that, he fought fiercely in the battle between Beijing and Shanghai to the end, drawing 2-2 with Shenhua with Fabio's goal in stoppage time, and retreated from Shanghai. With 4 points in the first two rounds, judging from the results, Guoan has completed the task.

In the past two games, Spanish coach Setien has spent most of his time on the sidelines, observing the rhythm and style of play of the Chinese Super League, observing the situation of opponents, observing the differences between his players on the pitch and on the training ground, and he is even experiencing the fan culture in Yuxi and Shanghai. Obviously, this is completely different from his past experience, and even judging from the content of Guoan's performance on the field, such a "chess game" is obviously unexpected by Setien.

Judging by what has been shown in the last two games, Guoan's performance has not been ideal, and the expected Spanish-style passing has only been reflected in a brief moment. Setien is constantly correcting his decisions, including the use of players. Unlike European players, Chinese players tend to show different forms and abilities in training and games, and Setien is gradually understanding the characteristics of each player and the position he is more suitable for. Of course, the more important reason is that Guoan has gradually diluted the style of play of passing and controlling in the past few years, and is pursuing stronger confrontation, faster and more efficient offense.

From this point of view, the first two rounds of Guoan can be described as perfect. First, the team got 4 points; Secondly, the team exposed problems that gave Setien a clearer understanding; What's more, the advent of the intermission period gave him time to adjust.

Setien's on-the-spot command was indeed effective. In the past two games, Guoan has played better in the second half than in the first. Playing Yukun, Guoan's two goals came in the second half; Playing Shenhua, Guoan played one less in the second half, but there was no numerical disadvantage. Setien's midfield changes have been effective, and the substitutions are relatively timely, which is also a reflection of his coaching quality.

Back when he joined Guoan, Setien mentioned that he had seen Gongti and he thought it would be a wonderful thing to lead the team there. This weekend, he will make his debut in Gongti, and I believe that the atmosphere created by Guoan fans will give him a new understanding of the Chinese Super League.

In the game against Chengdu Rongcheng, the Guoan lineup was not neat, Wang Gang and Zhang Yuan were injured in the warm-up match, the former was definitely absent, and the latter was also unable to play because of the red card. In addition, He Yupeng was also injured in this interval training and underwent surgery, and the recovery period will be longer. Zhang Yuan's position has Dawan and Gonzalo, but the two wingers are a little tight, and the fullbacks who can be used are Nabijiang, Feng Boxuan and Wu Shaocong, who has just been transferred to the national team. In addition, Fang Hao has started to play as a full-back in winter training, but this is not the best option, and Setien may have some headaches.

Other positions are okay, especially in the midfield, the national security team is full of talents, basically the national football team, and Serginho, who has completed the naturalization procedures. He missed the first two league games and is certain to play against Chengdu. In the past two rounds, the biggest problem revealed by Guoan is that it is difficult for the midfield to have a smooth organization, and Serginho is positioned as a number 10 in Guoan, and he will take on the responsibility of sorting out the attack. In other words, whether Guoan is really capable of competing for the title this year, and how much of a role Serginho can play is also key.

In the past, Beijing Guoan played against Chengdu Rongcheng with sparks. At present, Guoan's offensive problems are not big, Fabio is in full form, and the attack power is guaranteed, the key is to see whether the back line can withstand the impact of Rongcheng, especially the defense of Felipe, Spadjic will be tested.

Guoan's ball market is the hottest in the Chinese Super League and even in Asia, and the attendance rate is undoubted. The club is also planning a series of warm-up activities for the first match of the new season to stir up the fan atmosphere. In addition, Yu Dabao's retirement ceremony is also being planned.
