Li HailongwithLi YuanyiAs a wing-back, the performance in the game was not satisfactory. Li HailongAppeared a little too nervous defensively, which led to the opponent's scoring, whileLi Yuanyiwas limited by the yellow card he received early and was unable to play his due defensive role. In front of the opponent's pass, the two wing-backs looked a little at a loss, unable to stop the opponent's attack in time.
In addition,TarzanThe problems of defending on the flanks were also very obvious. Liao LishengwithSong LongFrequently penetrated by opponents in the game, unable to effectively stop the opponent's attack. EspeciallySong Long, in the game showed blind grabbing, resulting in the loss of position, the opponent can easily cut inside to assist. TarzanThe passive defense was largely due to omissions on the wings.
In general,TarzanThe wingback line lost its unity in this game and was unable to effectively fend off the opponent's attacks. The breakdown of the flanks put the entire defensive line in danger of collapsing, which eventually led to itTarzanof defeats.
However, even if the lineguard line is crushed,TarzanThere were also positive performances from one player in the squad and other players that gave the team some hope.
In this losing game,TarzanThe only player on the team to score a perfect score was Cressan. As one of the team's best players, Cressan showed great individual ability in the game.
Despite lacking the support of his team-mates, Cressan has been creating chances in his own right. He often returns to midfield to get the ball, always has to pass several opponents before he plays, and his overall vision and quality of the ball are also quite good. Yokohama was unable to completely restrain Cressan, but alas, his passing was not cherished by his teammates. It is worth mentioning that Cressan's hard work is also very commendable, and he can often be seen chasing all the way to his own half to participate in the defense.
Cressan's personal performance givesTarzanIt brought some bright spots and reminded his team-mates that they should make better use of his passing and individual abilities to win together.
In addition to Cressan, there were a few players who did well in this game and gave the team some positives.
Liu BinbinWith a rating of 8 points, except for a mistake in the opening stages, the rest of the time was acceptable. He was one of the best of the homegrown players, creating a corner with his runs and scrambling, and was aggressive at both the offensive and defensive ends.
Fernando showed his individual ability in the game, being able to threaten his team with his breakthroughs and clever passes. After he came on as a substitute, he made ShandongTarzanThe right side of the flank is active and has a chance to score. The important thing is that he needs to keep his emotions in check so as not to cause unnecessary problems for the team.
Judson was also relatively good in the game, and despite a serious turnover, he managed to make several tackles and interceptions in other areas, providing the team with the role of protecting the defence. His defensive contribution was the highest in the game and, although it had nothing to do with conceding goals, he also needed to be careful not to receive another yellow card.
Zheng Zheng and Hu Jinghang also played their part in the game, and their active grabbing and filling played a certain role. Especially Zheng Zheng, in the final moments of the game, he gritted his teeth and completed the key clearance.
However, some of the players were not doing as well as they could. For exampleSong Long, blindly grabbed and lost position in the game, and made mistakes in both defending and playing the ball. Liu Yang also failed to perform well, and his defensive problems were directly related to the goals conceded. Shi Ke rarely retreated to defend and made limited contributions to the game.
TarzanThe team lost in this game, and the omission of the full-back line was one of the direct causes. The flanks are frequently penetrated by the opponent, resulting inTarzanThe entire defense line could not be closely coordinated, so it was easily breached by the opponent.
However, there were some bright spots in this game as well. Cressan's individual ability and performances have been impressive, showing his threat up front and his ability to fight defensively. Among other players,Liu Binbin, Fernando, Judson, etc. also had a positive impact on the team to a certain extent.
The defeat of this game forTarzanIt's a lesson and an opportunity. The team needs to learn from the defeat and further refine the tactics and combinations to improve the overall performance of the players.
