The second stage of the Chinese Super League will be played in the sixth round of competition tomorrow, and Guangzhou will face Hebei at Huadu Stadium (Guangdong Sports Channel live at 18:00).

Guangzhou executive coach Zheng Zhi made his debut in the last round and became the captain, playing three roles in one person, and finally led the team to a 1-0 victory over Beijing Guoan. The team has scored 7 points in the last three rounds of 2 wins and 1 draw, and has now led the fifth place Shenzhen team by 9 points, due to the superior results of this season's matchups, with only three rounds left in the league, Guangzhou has locked the AFC Champions League seat in advance for the 2022 season.

Achieving the season goal ahead of schedule is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Guangzhou team in the difficult period, and the Guangzhou fans are also following all the way and not abandoning. Ye Xiquan, chairman of the Guangdong Football Association, has previously praised "Guangzhou players fighting for the city of Guangzhou".

Under the strategizing of Zheng Zhi, the Guangzhou team has never been united, and recently it has also erupted into a good fighting force. Facing the top three teams in the Suzhou Division in the first stage, Guangzhou defeated Changchun Yatai and Beijing Guoan to draw 0-0 with Shanghai Harbor, scoring 3 goals in three games and keeping the goal, which is the first time that the team has kept three consecutive clean sheets in the Chinese Super League this season, and Shandong Luneng, which won the championship in advance, is the team with the fewest goals conceded in the second stage of the championship group.

The Guangzhou team is currently in good morale and in good shape, the two wounded soldiers Gao Zhunyi and He Chao have returned from injury in the last round, and Zhang Linpeng has also resumed joint training. Under the neat lineup, facing Hebei in this round, Zheng Zhi has a good chance to usher in his first consecutive wins since becoming executive head coach.

Head coach Liu Zhiyu said at the pre-match press conference: "Hebei is a young team, with a tough style and an active running, we must seize the initiative of the game in the opening stage. As for whether Zheng Zhi can appear again, Liu Zhiyu said bluntly: "He is ready to play at any time, but at present he still needs to focus on tactical arrangement and on-site scheduling." ”

In the face of the crisis of Hebei team, Liu Zhiyu believes that both sides are in a difficult period, "but everyone is playing with respect and love for football, and hopes that the team can continue the good momentum of the recent past." ”

Hebei club has basically stopped operating due to lack of funds, after entering the championship group early relegation, the main players who had previously struggled to insist on it have no intention of fighting, and they have not won in the past five games, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the last round of pre-match training with Shandong Taishan, only 16 players participated, and many main players were absent.

In addition to the main goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong, the other 10 players in the starting lineup of Hebei team are substitutes or young players, and Yin Hongbo, Wang Qiuming, Ding Haifeng, Memisevic, Cui Lin and other main players have not entered the competition roster. Coupled with the injury of foreign aid João Silva during the warm-up before the last round of matches, the battle will most likely be absent, and hebei will once again face an embarrassing situation where no one can use.
