Special correspondent Liu Zhun reports If you are not prepared for the winter training period, it will be the club that will suffer the most, because even if you change the manager when the results are not good, you will not be able to change the current situation in the short term. Now, Changchun Yatai is experiencing this pain. On May 17, in the face of the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers who were not in good shape, Changchun Yatai failed to defeat the opponent with the advantage of the home field and gave a beautiful gift to the new coach Suarez for his debut, but lost 1-2 and suffered 5 consecutive defeats, which not only broke the record of the longest losing streak in team history, but also tied the worst start of 13 rounds of winless games in team history. Changchun Yatai, which has entered the intermission, will go to Dalian on May 21 to play an FA Cup match with Dalian Kuncheng.

Suarez also had no cards to play

Perhaps it was a coincidence that on May 17, 2024, Suarez, then the coach of Beijing Guoan, led the team to visit "Nanling" and lost 2-3 to Changchun Yatai. A year later, on May 17, Suarez also led the team to "Nanling", at this time, he was already the coach of Changchun Yatai. "I am very happy to be working in Changchun as a member of Yatai, I know that I am facing a very difficult task, but I don't think it is an impossible task, I need to take Changchun Yatai out of my current position." At the pre-match press conference, Suarez said this in the face of "reincarnation".

During the winter training period in recent seasons, the quality of Changchun Yatai's preparation is not only affected by objective factors such as climate, but also more and more affected by human factors, such as insufficient physical preparation and excessive squad replacement. Therefore, at the beginning of the season, Changchun Yatai almost completed the start in the run-in, and there is a reason for the unsatisfactory record. In the first round of this season, Changchun Yatai almost drew with Shanghai Shenhua away, but such a highlight moment did not last, but declined all the way, so that when Suarez took over, he was helpless about the current squad configuration.

Changchun Yatai's biggest problem now is that the midfield configuration is seriously insufficient, especially the organizational back and interspersed front waist are almost none, so it is often seen that Yatai players clear the siege with big feet and make long passes with big feet, and the conversion efficiency of attack and defense is very low, and it is normal to be unable to form a goal and it is difficult to win the game. At present, Suarez has a clear understanding that he cannot change the staffing, "Although I have not been in Changchun Yatai for a long time and there is still a lot of work to be done, I believe that through training we can change the current situation, we will show our competitiveness on the court, and I believe that it will get better day by day." ”

Suarez's pre-war cheering is nothing more than giving himself and his disciples strength, but in the arena, he speaks by strength. To be honest, there are really few cards in Suarez's hand that can be played, especially in the face of tough battles, Changchun Yatai relies more on Tan Long and Wu Yake to fight for Changchun's leading players. The team suffered 5 consecutive defeats, and captain Tan Long stood up to apologize, "I still can't win at home for so long, I apologize to everyone." In this game, we all worked hard and wanted to win, but the team is struggling at the moment, hopefully the players and the fans will be together and we will always be together. ”

In the battle with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Changchun Yatai conceded a goal in only 8 minutes at the beginning, and this passivity of chasing points continued until the end of the game, and Yatai struggled to the last moment and failed to rewrite the result of failure. Lost 1-2 at home to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Changchun Yatai only ranked at the bottom with 1 win, 2 draws, 10 losses, and 5 points, and the relegation situation made Yatai fans very worried. "In today's game, we did a good job in some areas, but it lasted for a short time, and we need to train for the next training to make us play for a longer time. Of course, this result is not what we need. Suarez said.

"I'll think about the future in the future"

In the 2013 season of the Chinese Super League, Changchun Yatai was hard to find a win in the first 13 rounds, and suffered the worst start in team history (with a record of 5 draws and 8 losses and 5 points, ranking at the bottom of the list), however, after the change of coach that year, he quickly chased the points, and finally succeeded in thrilling relegation. Compared with Changchun Yatai 12 years ago, Sablich, who had just taken office at that time, still had elite soldiers in his hands, and the configuration was not bad, but this year's Suarez could only wait until the second window opened if he wanted to turn the tide of the war.

After this game, the Chinese Super League will usher in a second break this season. Suarez said that the almost one-month break is a good opportunity for us, unlike the four or five days to prepare for the match against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, so we will use the break to make a full preparation, whether it is physical, technical and tactical, or mental, we will give everyone a better performance after the break. As for the second window, "I think we need to train now to get the players to do better, to give them more confidence and to let them know that we can do better with training. There is still some time before the second turn window opens, there are a few more difficult games to play, and now we need to be able to pick up points in every game. What is going to happen in the future, we need to think about it in the future, now we need to give the players more confidence, improve themselves through training and find better form, only then can we get points in the next games.
