Reporter Zuo Rui and Lu Mi report In the 13th round of the Chinese Super League, Zhejiang Greentown played Henan Jiuzu Du Kang at home. In the case of only two foreign starters, relying on Tao Qianglong's brace, Zhejiang Greentown once overtook the score, but Cardoso's passing contribution still helped Henan take away a point from the Huanglong Sports Center.
For Caneda, the draw was a helpless result.
'Overall, we had a close match, a close game, and the result was fair. Kaneda believes that Cheng's absence had a "decisive impact" on the team, resulting in poor organization in the second half of the game, with the formation getting deeper and lower, and finally being equalised.
Kaneda had previously argued that Henan were a very competitive team and that their current position was "deceptive", and that after Cardoso's return, opponents should have the strength to fight for a place in the table.
Before the opening of the summer window, Zhejiang's center problem was difficult to solve. After losing Bupenza, Caneda had to change the 523 tactic to 532, and Tao Qianglong, who was transformed into a forward midfielder, was an important part of it, and it was also the biggest highlight of the Huanglong Stadium last night.
Zhejiang's backline, due to Liang Nuoheng's fever absence, the left-footed Yue Xin started for the first time this season, and the midfield was partnered by Qian Jie, Li Tixiang, and Tao Qianglong; The forward line is still Frank and Wang Yudong.
Only 6 minutes into the opening game, Zhejiang's goal was broken, and Cardoso scored first with a cold shot. The home team launched an offensive from both flanks. Sun Guowen's cross from the right and Yue Xin's strong burst from the left created opportunities for his teammates. In the 37th minute, the cooperation of Sun Guowen and Frank penetrated the opponent's defense, and the latter crossed from the bottom line, and Tao Qianglong scored in front of the goal.
In the 43rd minute, Tao Qianglong and Frank had a connection inside and outside the penalty area, the latter stepped back to make the ball after getting the ball, Tao Qianglong met the ball and blasted into the far corner, 2-1, which was also his first double ring this season, and completed his fourth goal since joining Zhejiang, plus two assists.
It is worth noting that Tao Qianglong had only scored three goals in a single season in Three Towns, and when Wang Yudong was either targeted or had a bad foot, the 23-year-old attacker has become another important point of attack under Kaneda's account with his sense of smell in front of goal and comprehensive skills.
Tao Qianglong scored twice, all from the assist of captain Frank, who revealed that he and Frank often communicated before the game, and reached a consensus on the flexible switching and cross-running of the two. He believes he needs to do more in the game, to make fewer mistakes, to handle some details better, and then to "score more goals and help the team win more".
Before this campaign, Henan had 3 wins, 1 draw, 7 losses, 10 points, one round less, and was on the verge of the relegation zone. In the last round, they defeated Yatai 1-0, won their first victory after the change of coach, ended a three-game losing streak, and their morale improved.
Against Zhejiang, coach Ramos wanted to chase after the victory, and the five foreign aids, plus Huang Zichang and Zhong Yihao, were considered the strongest lineup this season.
Henan started well, Cardoso scored in just six minutes, which was also his second goal since joining the Henan team. But it's a pity that in the face of Zhejiang's counterattack, Henan made an old mistake and conceded two goals in 5 minutes, and it was a problem of defense in the middle.
Ramos plays in a three-centre-back, and if the two wing-backs can't drop back, the defence will collapse. It's a problem that has come up many times this season and one of the reasons why they've been hit back so often. Fortunately, they strengthened their attack in the second half, and substitute Liu Xinyu received a pass from Cardoso to equalize. Scoring a point away from home is acceptable for Henan.
Speaking after the game, Ramos said the game was intense, "There was a lot of passion from start to finish, there were a lot of good clips to remember, and the game was very anxious. Zhejiang are very strong, but in terms of data, we should win the game, and then we will continue to work hard. ”
