On August 3, 2024, the 21st round of the Chinese Super League is about to begin, and Shandong Taishan will face Shanghai Port. The pre-match discussion has focused on tactical analysis and player form, but the recent focus has been drawn to the harbour fans' ridicule of the Tarzan fans.
The self-confidence of the Harbour fans has reached a staggering level, not only making playful predictions about the reaction of the Tarzan fans, but also comparing their own team to "school tyrants", while the Tarzan team has been ridiculed as "scumbags". This performance not only showed their contempt, but also their overconfidence in the upcoming match.
The presence of Harbour fans on social media has been quite high-profile. They even jokingly predicted that if the Tarzan team lost the game, there would be two reactions from the Tarzan fans: one was to leave the game early, and the other was to complain about the referee after the game. Many netizens expressed their opinions on this.
A netizen named "Li Xiaohai" commented: "I remember that when we lost to Pathum United a few years ago, we were also ridiculed as 'light bulb repairers', at that time we didn't expect to encounter such embarrassment, but now we use these as jokes, which is really a bit excessive." ”
Another netizen named "Fan Xiaobai" also said: "Harbour fans are really overconfident this time, and I feel like they have forgotten that they have also experienced being ridiculed." It's a frustrating attitude, but it's better to focus on the game. ”
The harbour fans' ridicule was even a bit personal. Not only did they ridicule the Tarzan fans, but they also hinted that the performance of the Tarzan team was unbearable. A user named "Sharp Fans" wrote: "The Taishan team has no strength, and now they are overwhelmed by us, which is really a performance of 'scum'."
Let's see how they face this challenge. This kind of rhetoric, while full of confidence, also feels a little too extreme. After all, the outcome of a football match is often unpredictable, and surprises can happen to any team.
Impressively, the harbour fans' ridicule of the Tarzan team is not only about the result of the game, but also about the attitude towards the Tarzan fans.
A netizen named "Small Universe" commented: "These harbor fans are really too confident, and they actually make a fuss about the reaction of Taishan fans." I was ridiculed before, but now I am sneering at others, which is really ironic. Many netizens expressed concern about this overconfidence, believing that it could affect the performance of the Harbour team.
In the early stages of the game, it was clear that the Harbour fans had shifted the focus from the game itself to the teasing and banter of each other. As the time of the game approached, people began to pay attention to the real game situation.
Whether this overconfidence will become a "psychological burden" for the Harbour team, or whether the Tarzan team can perform well in the game, is the focus of fans' attention. Regardless of the outcome, the attitude and ridicule of the Harbour fans certainly added a lot of excitement to the game.
While the contemptuous attitude of the Harbour fans made the challenge of the Tarzans more prominent, that attitude did not hide the complexity of the game. Despite their attacking firepower, the Harbour often relied on penalties to break through when they were in trouble. This gave the Tarzans a clear defensive task: they had to prevent the Harbour team from creating penalty opportunities in the box. In this way, the offensive threat of the Harbour team can be effectively limited.
There will be a lot of pressure on the Tarzan defensively, especially the forwards defending the Harbour team. The Harbour team's attacking players are highly skilled and able to find their way through quickly. Once the Tarzans foul in the box, the Harbour team is likely to take the opportunity to score through a penalty.
It's not just a tactical challenge, it's a psychological one. The Tarzan team needs to maintain a high level of concentration in defense and make sure every detail is in place. Every tackle, every action needs to be precise, and there is no room for negligence or mistakes.
In addition, the Tarzan team also needs to show a strong momentum in the game. Momentum can not only affect the performance of the opponent, but also have a direct impact on the outcome of the match. If the Tarzans can take the initiative on the field, it will not only reduce the chances of the Harbour team to create penalties, but also put the opponent under pressure, which will hit their self-confidence. The Harbour fans are full of confidence, and the Tarzan team will need to break this confidence with practical actions and bring unexpected challenges to the opponent.
Psychological warfare is just as important in football. The taunts from the Harbour fans may have galvanized the Tarzans and allowed them to show more counter-attacking power on the pitch.
In this case, the performance of the Tarzan team may be better than expected. For the Tarzan team, this is not just a game, but also an opportunity to prove themselves. They can respond to the contempt of their opponents through this match and prove their strength with practical actions.
On May 2, 2018, the 5th round of the Chinese Football Association Cup was played between Shanghai SIPG and Beijing Renhe. In regular time, the two teams were close in attack and defense, and the score was always 0-0. In this case, the game went to a penalty shootout. At the critical moment, the performance of Shanghai Port goalkeeper Yan Junling became the focus of the whole game.
He showed his skills in the penalty shoot-out, saving two penalties from Beijing Renhe to help SIPG win 4-3 and successfully advance.
Netizens were full of praise for Yan Junling's performance. In a forum post called "Fan Lao Zhang", some netizens commented: "Yan Junling is really a magical saver among the goalkeepers, and this penalty shootout almost depends on him."
I didn't expect him to save two penalties, it's amazing! Another netizen "football fanatic" also said: "Seeing Yan Junling's save, I couldn't believe my eyes. Those two saves not only allowed us to win the game, but also showed us the strength of SIPG! ”
However, Yan Junling's outstanding performance did not end there. Just ten days later, on May 12, 2018, in the 10th round of the Chinese Super League, SIPG challenged Guizhou Hengfeng away. This match is also crucial for SIPG. In the 63rd minute, the Guizhou team got a penalty opportunity, and Yan Junling's state once again attracted everyone's attention.
Guizhou's Steve's penalty kick was saved by Yan Junling, and then Fan Yunlong's follow-up shot was also cleared by him. Netizens have heated discussions about Yan Junling's performance.
A netizen named "Goalkeeper Talent" wrote: "This game is really exciting, Yan Junling almost saved SIPG by himself. Steve's penalty and Fan Yunlong's follow-up shot were both saved by him, and this kind of performance was truly miraculous. ”
Another netizen "Chinese Super League Observer" sighed: "Although SIPG finally played 1 to 1 with Guizhou, Yan Junling's performance was undoubtedly the best in the game. Such top-notch goalkeeper skills really make opponents feel helpless. ”
Throughout the game, although Guizhou Hengfeng also had some offensive opportunities, they were ultimately defused by Yan Junling's excellent save. For SIPG, although the game did not win three points, Yan Junling's save undoubtedly boosted the team's morale and allowed the team to avoid a bigger defeat. Many netizens said after the game that Yan Junling's performance made them look forward to the future of SIPG.
The players and coaching staff of the Tarzan team should know that this game is not just about winning but also about earning respect. If they can show a stubborn defence and aggressive attacking play against the Harbour team, it will likely surprise the Harbour fans.
This kind of surprise can not only boost the morale of the team, but also impress the outside world with the Taishan team. Although the outcome of the game is difficult to predict, the strength of the Tarzan team's rebound and actual performance will be the focus, and whether they can make the most of this opportunity will directly determine their future direction.
