On April 23rd, in the first round of China A, the Guangzhou team ushered in the first show of the new season. They played a home game in Yuexiu Mountain Stadium, drawing 0-0 with Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and missed a good start. 8008 fans poured into the scene to support the team.
The overall performance of the Guangzhou team in this game is still good, and it still shows its strength and youthful vitality without the old players sitting in the town. However, the Guangzhou team’s backcourt defense still needs to be strengthened, and they are inexperienced and make mistakes in succession. Fortunately, opponents such as Liu Ziming and others waste single-handedly opportunities. In fact, the Guangzhou team had a chance to score goals. In the 80th minute, the Guangzhou team set the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Unfortunately, Ling Jie’s shot in the restricted area was blocked, and his teammates followed up to make up the shot and were cleared. Unfortunately, they failed to score, so the Guangzhou team drew 0-0 in the first show of the Chinese team.
Although the stadium has changed and the league where it is located has changed from Super League to Chinese League, the fans of Guangzhou team never leave. Even on weekdays, there are still many fans at the scene. Official statistics show that 8008 players watch the game. Before the game started, there were many fans wearing red cheering clothes outside Yuexiushan Stadium. When we arrived at the scene, we could see that they waved flags and cheered for the supporting Guangzhou team, which was full of momentum.
In the new season, the Guangzhou team can be said that the lineup has changed greatly, the coach has changed, and the veterans have also left. The team has signed up for a total of 31 people, including as many as 16 U21 players. Ling Jie, the captain, is only 20 years old. Most of the Guangzhou team are elite football players in the football school. They may not have rich experience, but they are also the best players of all ages. At the same time, they have unlimited potential and are the future of China football.
Previously, Xu Jiayin, the boss, held a management meeting of Evergrande Football. Although he didn’t set a goal for the new season and didn’t mention whether it was necessary to avoid relegation, he put forward the "spirit of the new Guangzhou team", that is, "wolf-like, concerted efforts, perseverance, and tempering the elite". Xu Jiayin demanded that the young players in the football school be boldly used to build Evergrande Football School into the cradle of China football stars, and the Guangzhou team should be a good cradle platform, so as to make contributions to China football.
In fact, for this young Guangzhou team, it is very difficult to attack the top two seats in the Super League. The most practical goal is to avoid relegation and then train the young players. At the same time, fighting for the fans, although the Guangzhou team is no longer brilliant and its lineup is no longer so dazzling, the support of the fans is unchanged, so these little players are under great pressure and full of motivation, and look forward to their future performance.
