In the first half, the 16-year-old Du Yuezheng of the Shenzhen team accidentally scored an own goal, and then Achim Peng tied the score.

After the start of the second half, Wei Shihao shot another world wave with his left foot, and personally scored twice.

Yang Liyu succeeded in volleying and finally locked the score at 4-1.

  Zheng Zhi's first show is calm and commanding, showing his handsome talents

  In this "Guangdong Derby", the biggest change in Zheng Zhi's lineup for the Guangzhou team compared with the previous one was the use of Cai Mingmin, the main force of the former junior national team, in the midfield, and the fast horse Li Jiaheng in the striker.

From the actual battle, it can be seen that in the first half, Cai Mingmin's attack and defense in the midfield were in place, which also released the tandem organization ability of Yan Dinghao and Zhang Xiuwei. He also indirectly forced the appearance of Shenzhen Football's first own goal.

Li Jiaheng's impact was outstanding in this game. In the first half, it would be more perfect if he hadn't missed a single-handed opportunity.

  In addition to making good use of two young players, Zheng Zhi made the Guangzhou team full of confidence and aggressiveness in this game.

Although on paper, the strength of Shenzhen Football Team is higher than that of Guangzhou Team, and there are scenes where Shenzhen Football Team repeatedly besieged Guangzhou Team during part of the game, but Guangzhou Team's defense line has never been disrupted, and the players even showed their performance in defense. heroic.

  The nominal "coach" Fu Bo attended the press conference after the game. He revealed that Zheng Zhi took over the team for less than a week, and he injected more psychological confidence into the team. He asked every young player to be bold. To show themselves, and give them a high degree of error tolerance.

As for tactics, this game is mainly aimed at the loopholes of the deep-footed defense line's slower retreat speed, using the formation's forward pressure and the striker's counterattack speed to break the defense.

These adjustments have been effective in this "Guangdong Derby".

  Of course, the next road for the Guangzhou team is still very difficult.

This Wednesday, the Guangzhou team will continue to play at home in Huadu, the opponent is the recent Dalian team of Dayong, and then they will play two consecutive away games.

Zheng Zhi encouraged the players in the locker room after the game, asking everyone to take a good rest and recover quickly. After all, there are still many tough battles to be fought, and the whole team must be mentally prepared to face more setbacks.

  Wei Shihao takes the lead in two worlds

  As the captain, Wei Shihao opened the bow from left to right last night, scored two world waves, and became the hero of the Guangzhou team's victory. After the game, he was named the best player on the spot without any suspense.

Since this season, in addition to shouldering the responsibility of captain of the Guangzhou team, Wei Shihao has also tried tactically in multiple positions in the midfield and frontcourt.

But it wasn't until last night that Wei Shihao's inherent characteristics were brought into full play.

  When Fu Bo talked about Wei Shihao after the game, he said: "Wei Shihao and Zheng Zhi have played together in the past few seasons. They are very familiar with each other and have high trust in each other. He has this ability himself, and his efforts in this game have won He is a captain who can afford to be a leader." Wei Shihao also talked about the positive changes brought by Zheng Zhi's return to the team in an interview after the game. He said: "The day before the game is Brother Zhi's birthday. , We all want to bring him a victory. In this game, Zhige made a little adjustment, and the changes he brought to us are obvious to all. In the past so many years, Zhige has been the captain of the team, and he came back to us. Everyone was very helpful."

  Despite the heavy rain in Guangzhou yesterday afternoon, there are still many fan organizations in Guangzhou who arrived at Huadu Sports Center by subway from the city two hours earlier.

At present, Huadu Stadium has not yet been opened to fans, but a large number of Guangzhou fans who arrived in Huadu are still enthusiastic.

  Throughout the game, fans of the Guangzhou team kept shouting "Guangzhou Team" and the names of Zheng Zhi, Wei Shihao and others outside the stadium. Some fans also played various cheering slogans in the high-rise buildings near the stadium.

After the game, they continued to see off the Guangzhou team's bus outside the stadium.

They said that as long as they are united under the leadership of the coaching team headed by Zheng Zhi, they believe that the Guangzhou team is likely to get out of the trough as soon as possible.

  4 to 1, the Guangzhou team played a long-lost momentum in Huadu Stadium, as if returning to the old era of "Guangzhou did not win enough" overnight.

  There is no doubt that Zheng Zhi led several veterans to return as coaches, which is an important reason for the sudden change of the Guangzhou team.

This reason, first of all, is reflected in the spirit.

  As Zheng Zhi said on his 42nd birthday, he and several veterans witnessed and created the Guangzhou team's past glory, which is a real and precious spiritual heritage and wealth.

At the moment when the team is so difficult, under the constraints of objective conditions that the personnel structure has not changed much, the only thing that can be changed is the spiritual factor.

  In this Guangdong derby, all the players of the Guangzhou team showed visible courage and self-confidence. This mental change is most evident in the fact that the offensive end has become more aggressive and the defensive end has become more bloody.

Wei Shihao's outbreak is of course due to the fact that Zheng Zhi is more familiar with his use, but his willingness to work hard for the new coaching team led by Zheng Zhi is more important.

  Of course, the league still has 20 long rounds, and the prospect of Guangzhou's relegation is still unclear.

Even from the perspective of this big victory, the young players of the Guangzhou team still exposed a lot of inexperience.

Now that Jiang Guangtai's departure from the team is basically a foregone conclusion, Li Xuepeng's return state cannot be guaranteed, and it is not clear who can be a player in the coaching staff.

  If the big victory brought about by Zheng Zhi's return is just a result of the quick-acting rule of "changing coaches like changing knives", then how the Guangzhou team can achieve the goal of catching up with the opponent more stably will test Zheng Zhi's true skills.

  In the past six months, there have been too many ups and downs in Guangzhou football.

To reverse the fate, it is unrealistic to expect great changes in the external environment. It can only be driven by the spiritual drive of everyone involved, whether Zheng Zhihe players, the media and fans.
