A new season of sports
If you don't look closely, you still think that Guoan No. 8 is still Park Cheng - in my impression, Park Cheng has also dyed his blonde hair before. His running, catching, dribbling, and sharing the ball are all different. He is Pu Cheng, and he is also Guga.
The most important signing for Guoan this season is Guga, who wears the No. 8 shirt left by Park Sung. During the game, he runs wide and can cover two penalty areas. When attacking, he will take the initiative to retreat in front of the central defender to ask for the ball, and then distribute the ball and move forward through the combination. Occasionally, he can also shoot from behind. Also, don't look at him as not tall, but he can still compete for the header.
This is actually not Pu Cheng.
According to the data information on the Emperor of the Ball, Guga tried to pass 4 times in this game, successfully passed 2 times, made a total of 98 passes, made 87 accurate passes, and made 2 key passesAll five of these figures were the highest in the game. He had an 89 per cent pass completion rate, five successful ground duels eight, three tackles, three clearances and two shots on goal.
Overall, Guga can contribute on both ends of the pitch on both ends of the pitch.
The heat zone map shows that he likes to operate in the left midfield, and the red hot spots are close to the depth of the parallel lines at the top of the arc of the two penalty areas, which illustrates his ability to run widely.
If there is anything different about Guga and Park Sung. It's that he's a little tougher, he has a wider range of movements, he's more decisive with the ball, and he's a little bit more powerful and quick with his passes and shots. But in general, there is no difference between Guga and Pu Cheng, they are not tall, but they dare to grab and fight. They aren't fast, but they always find gaps. They have a lot of range and can cover two penalty areas. They have a good sense and always get into position. Their technique is good and it is difficult for opponents to break the ball from their feet easily.
All the places where Guga is a little stronger than Park Cheng are actually the places where Park Cheng did not "cash in on his talent". If Park Cheng wasn't so playful when he was young, if he could train better and take better care of his body, he wouldn't have suffered those two major injuries. Park Sung can also be a little tougher, run a little more, handle the ball a little more decisively, and pass and shoot a little more with power and speed.
When Park Cheng retired last year, many people joked about the phrase "China's most talented player". No one knows what heights Park Sung can reach if he "fulfills his talent". Now, from Guga, it seems that people can see the appearance of "completely simple".
In the past, Park Sung's role was the same as that of Guga now. Especially later on the side of Augusto and Vieira, Park Sung Sung was the bridge between the central and backfield, he would often retreat to the central defenders to ask for the ball, and then rely on skill and awareness to split the ball to the sides to guide the team's attack. Compared with Zhang Xizhe, who prefers to pass the ball behind him, penetrate the ball, and threaten the ball, Park Cheng's running response is better and his ability to control the rhythm is stronger.
Now, this role of Guoan is fulfilled by Guga.
Well, many people are saying, where is Zhang Xizhe's position after his comeback from the ban and what is his role? Perhaps from the point of view of "Guga = Park Sung", the answer can be obtained.
In the past many years, as long as Zhang Xizhe and Park Cheng were on the field at the same time, Guoan's midfield had extraordinary control of the Chinese Super League. Whether it's Schmidt or Genesio, a coach of their level will not give up the opportunity to have more excellent players on the field at the same time. But later several foreign coaches all thought that Zhang Xizhe and Park Cheng played at the same time, and Guoan's midfield was "soft". But they forgot that Schmidt used Zhang Xizhe and Park Sung to play the back two, and in that game, Guoan beat Urawa Red Diamonds. Genesio also let two people appear next to Ji Zhongguo at the same time to assist in the midfield transition between attack and defense, and Guoan also played a winning streak. Therefore, the so-called "soft" problem of Zhang Xizhe and Park Cheng playing in the midfield at the same time is not their problem, but the coach's problem.
Now, Guga's defense is clearly better than Park Sung, and the way he plays is close to Park Sung. So should we consider letting Zhang Xizhe appear with Gujia in the future? It just so happens that Zhang Xizhe can make up for the problem that Gujia has less threat to the ball with forward passes, while Guga continues to play the role of a metronome more calmly.
Last year, if it weren't for Zhang's outstanding performance, Suarez might have been out of class early. This year, Zhang Xizhe has the addition of "complete body Pucheng" next to him, which should be a good improvement for Guoan's midfield. But it's still the same sentence, "whether it's soft or not, looks at the coach".
