Chapter 092 The Battle Against Henan Jianye
The "Sailing Stadium" built in 2002 is located in Zhengzhou Economic Development Zone. As the home stadium of the Chinese Super League team Henan Jianye, this stadium that can accommodate 28,000 spectators was sold by Jianye Group on December 29, 2009 for a huge sum of 118 million yuan. Henan Jianye Club has become the second football club in China to own its own stadium and the only Chinese Super League team that still uses its own stadium so far.
As the home court of Henan Jianye, the Chinese Super League team, the "Sailing Stadium" has a very high "famousity" in China. However, this "famousity" comes more from the stadium shaped like a "vegetable depression"...
"We will not send captain Moreno to start the start, because the turf in the Nautical Stadium is too poor, and we are afraid he will be injured!"
Shenhua coach Wu Jingui's big truth at the pre-match press conference caused a stir after the press conference. No one knew why this coach Wu, who has always been friendly to the media, said such a big truth before the game.
Although before Shenhua's coach, Suning's foreign coach Olaroyou also complained to the media that the turf of the Navigation Stadium was too bad, but after all, they were foreign monks, and it was inevitable that they did not understand the national conditions of Chinese characteristics, so the media, including Henan fans, could still be considerate.
Didn’t you, Wu Jingui, also born under the Red Flag, grow up under the Red Flag, just drinking foreign ink for a few years? What’s so amazing? As a Chinese coach, is that appropriate?
This little episode also gave the two teams a little tension before the start of this round of league.

"I really haven't said that," Shenhua coach continued to say to the phone with a wry smile, "I just said at the time that Moreno is a little injured now and is not suitable for playing in this field. Who knows that the media reports will become like this as soon as they come out."
"Well, I know," Wu Jingui listened with his cell phone for a while, "It will not affect me, it will be like this or what. The players are in good condition and have not been affected."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Shen for your concern. We will do our best to play this away game."
Wu Jingui, who hung up the phone, let out a long sigh. When he returned to the sofa, he sat down, and smiled bitterly again at the assistant coach Mao Yijun who was sitting opposite him, "Quickly, the news has reached Shanghai. Now these news media..."
"In the era of online media, the bigger the gimmick, the more eye-catching it will be."
"So you see, once players fight and take drugs, the negative news is the most fierce that the media reports."
"yes."
"But there is nothing to do. There are all kinds of birds in the forest! Some of us football players are really not good at playing football well and aren't it good to play in the national team to win glory for the country? Isn't it better to be willing to use my brain to play football!"
"The high income is also one aspect. With more money, the temptation comes again, young people's minds become active. I remember that the A-League was just beginning. Young people always have to go through this stage."
"At that time, players got much less money than they are now, but now I meet other fans when I go out, and the fans are the ones who only recognize the 1990s."
"That's right. Many old fans I met always tell me that Xiao Fan and Hao Haidong's group of national teams played many times better than the current national team."
"Non has been in the national team, uh, Non is La Quinon's own family!"
Wu Jingui's "hometown accent" instantly amused Mao Yijun, who smiled shyly, "I am lucky to join the national team!"
——Separation line—
On July 22, Henan Jianye’s home match against Shanghai Greenland Shenhua started on time at 19:35 pm.
The lineup arranged by Henan Jianye's Korean coach Zhang Wailong in this game still continued his previous tactical ideas. All three foreign players were on the field to form an offensive trident. No. 37 Karanga, who was 1.89 meters tall, broke out in a single soldier. No. 29 Ivo and No. 10 Bassogo appeared on both sides respectively. The midfield and backcourt were still the lineup of the entire Chinese team.
This lineup, dubbed by home fans, scored 8 goals and conceded 18 goals in the first twelve rounds of the league, with a goal difference of -10 goals, 3 wins, 2 draws, 7 losses, and 11 points, currently ranked 14th in the league standings.
The two teams behind Henan Jianye are Dalian Yifang, which has just been promoted to the Chinese Super League this year and Guizhou Hengfeng, which seems to have already booked the next relegation quota early.
Shenhua coach Wu Jingui dared not take such a team that was wandering around the relegation zone. Three foreign players from the opponent almost scored eight goals, especially the Brazilian foreign aid Karanga, who scored four goals, was the most threatening.
On the other hand, Shenhua's main central defender Li Peng was suspended for the game due to accumulating four yellow cards in this round, so U23 central defender Zhu Chenjie started for Shenhua for the first time this season. I wonder if this young player can withstand the opponent's three foreign guns?
But it is strange that after the referee on duty whistle sounded, Shenhua coach Wu Jingui's heart became more at ease.
Although he played away, Shenhua's tactics were not conservative. In the 8th minute, the free kick that Cao Yunding won in the frontcourt was punished by Guarin, who hit the opponent's wall and reflected the bottom line.
Afterwards, Argentine foreign aid Romero, who replaced Moreno in this game, sent a corner kick with his left foot directly to the back post. Fortunately, Henan Jianye goalkeeper Wu Yan was prepared and transferred the ball out of the baseline with one hand while waiting for the car quickly.
Henan Jianye quickly returned to the spot five minutes later. The home team, which got the chance to get a corner kick on the right, also passed the ball to the back point of the penalty area with his left foot. Long Wei, who inserted at the high speed, directly chose to volley the shot. Unfortunately, because the angle of the shot was too straight, it hit Shenhua goalkeeper Li Shuai's thoughts!
In the 16th minute, Shanghai Shenhua team Dembaba missed an excellent scoring opportunity. The Senegalese foreign player who successfully intercepted the ball after making a mistake in passing the ball after the opponent's midfielder made a mistake in passing the ball. A light man scored the ball when facing the opponent's central defender Gu Cao. Unfortunately, when facing the opponent's quick goalkeeper, hesitated a little and finally missed the ball out of bounds.
Henan Jianye team, who escaped the disaster, almost scored a goal in a corner kick off the next corner kick. This time, Ivo accurately found Karanga's corner kick from the right. The latter's powerful header was blocked by Sun Shilin, who was assisting in defense at the goal line. Karanga's attack also attracted the regrets of the fans at home on the stage.
The attack was slightly off.
