Injury + red card, the remnants of Guoan won a difficult streak

Special correspondent Song Ci reports "This year is really evil, either injuries or red cards, one after another, it really keeps adding difficulties to us." After the game with the Henan team, a national security insider said.

Indeed, the national security team seems to have been caught under the spell of injury and suspension, constantly suffering from injuries and red cards. Fortunately, under such difficult conditions, the Guoan team withstood the pressure and withstood the test, and finally defeated the Henan team 1-0, ushering in a winning streak for the first time in the season. They are also the latest teams in the top five of the Chinese Super League to win the title.

So far, the Guoan team has played against three of the top four teams, drawn with Shenhua and Rongcheng, and won Taishan at home, but they have played hard against some opponents who are not as strong as themselves.

This match with Henan once again proved this, when the opponent played hard, pressed hard, and resolutely fought for the conversion, it became very difficult for Guoan to win. Head coach Setien repeatedly emphasised the word "difficult" before and after the game.

Before the game, Setien said that the Henan team would definitely create a lot of difficulties, especially the set-pieces are very distinctive, and the central defenders have a strong scoring ability, and Guoan has specially analyzed and prepared for this.

Although the opponent did not use set-pieces to score, but the Henan team still got a good opportunity, Achim Peng's single knife if the first goal, the result is difficult to predict, after the game Setien really stressed again that the game is very difficult, he has been emphasizing with the team that the defensive end can not be relaxed, and there are many details that need to be solved.

Although only 8 games have been played, the number of injured players in the Guoan team has reached double digits, and the main goalkeeper Han Jiaqi may be reimbursed for the season. What's even more unbelievable is that the Guoan team is currently the team that has received the most red cards from any team in the Chinese Super League, and five players have been sent off in the game. Injuries and stops are like a magic spell that entangles the national security.

Before the start of this game, the Guoan team urgently adjusted the original starting list, due to the unexpected injury situation of the main central defender Wu Shaocong. Wu Shaocong was a little unwell before the game, but after being examined by the medical team, he was still able to play. Unexpectedly, just after warming up, Wu Shaocong suddenly felt some difficulty breathing, accompanied by coughing and vomiting. In this case, he could only change the general on the spot and replace Wu Shaocong with Bai Yang.

After the national security team just scored a goal in the first half, Fan Shuangjie strained again, and the team doctor immediately signaled that he could not continue to insist after entering the field for inspection, so he could only be replaced by Chi Zhongguo. This accident, so that Guoan quite helpless, originally in the last game with Shandong Taishan team, Fan Shuangjie performed very well, before this game, Setien also specially brought the 19-year-old to attend the pre-game press conference, but he did not expect to leave the field injured in less than half time.

Not only injuries, but also red cards entangled in Guoan, Zhang Xizhe stepped on the opposing player He Chao in the scramble, and the referee showed a red card after watching VAR, which was the fifth time that a player was sent off in the game after the first round of Bai Yang, the second round of Zhang Yuan, the third round of Ngadwu, and the 8th round of Cao Yongjing. 5 red cards, also ranked first among the teams in the Chinese Super League, and many people have received red cards in a row, which is rare in the history of the national security team.

It is gratifying that the more difficult it is, the more the other players of the Guoan team can burst out with amazing energy, and this time it is the turn of the "little steel cannon" Fang Hao to play the role of a strange soldier. The Guoan team only had four chances on target in this game, and the only threat was Fang Hao's left-footed shot after cutting inside the penalty area.

Fang Hao had started 3 times before, but the young man couldn't understand why he had trained well in the winter, why he didn't perform well in the first few games, and then he could only sit on the bench and watch the game. Because Cao Yongjing was suspended from the red card, head coach Setien gave Fang Hao the chance to start again, and Fang Hao even bluntly said that he was a little surprised, and he didn't know about this arrangement until the pre-game preparation meeting.

However, this time Fang Hao did not live up to the trust of the head coach, after the goal, the excited Fang Hao made Ronaldo's signature celebration move, and the young man released the depression in his heart at once. After the game, Fang Hao said in an interview: I hope that every game in the future can play like today, be more confident, and help the team.

Scoring this goal, for Fang Hao, there is a special meaning, the young man's brother has just undergone surgery, the young man sent his blessings to his brother and other injured teammates, Fang Hao said with special emotion: I want to give today's victory to those teammates, and look forward to their early recovery and return to the game. I also hope that my brother can overcome the disease, because there is still a long way to go in life, and we must come out of the pain of the disease.
