I have to say that Van Gaal's debut brought many surprises.

The three midfielders of Beijing Chinatown, He Chao, Artur and Zhang Xizhe, all showed good strength in the game, and the players' talents were fully displayed, helping Beijing Chinatown to firmly lock in the field and control the rhythm.

The midfielder was suppressed, especially as the game progressed, Hengda's problems gradually became exposed, especially Brazilian international Paulinho, who has been targeted by Barcelona recently, has performed too independently.

As the team's midfielder, Paulinho had already failed to return to defense in time when he conceded the ball in the first place. After that, when the whole team was in a hurry to equalize the score, his willingness to return to defense was significantly worse. However, he performed very hard on the offensive end, but only Zheng Zhi dragged the back and took over the midfield behind him, which was obviously too thin.

The midfielder failed to form an effective organization and sorting, and the offense in the frontcourt inevitably lacked changes. Scolari himself is not a head coach known for his offensive ability. Even when he won the 2002 Korean and Japanese World Cup, the offensive end was more of the personal abilities of the three superstars in the previous field to solve the game.

The offensive style is simple and there is no effective change, which makes Hengda's offense unable to create a threat for a long time.

But the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Heng is the overlord who has ruled the Chinese Super League for many years. This is their home court, so how can he easily disarm?

The two sides fought fiercely in the first half. Although Beijing Chinatown quickly seized the lead after the start and controlled the ball and rhythm, Hengda still refused to give in easily.

After the side change in the second half, Scolari made a substitution, strengthened the offense in the frontcourt, and Hengda began to press forward.

In the 63rd minute, Beijing Chinatown interrupted the ball in the middle of the middle of the game and launched a counterattack.

After Artur got the ball in the midfield, facing two Hengda midfielders, a beautiful 360-degree dial ball turned around and got rid of the two defensive players. He quickly passed the ball to his midfield partner Zhang Xizhe, who faced the goal sideways and picked the ball without waiting for the ball to stop.

The ball fell to the right side of the penalty area. After Wei Shihao received the ball, he suddenly started and passed it directly to the front of the goal.

Richarlison, who had been ambushing in the middle, quickly followed, blocked Feng Xiaoting with his body, and hit a close shot, 2-0!

If the first goal just now can be said to have caught Hengda off guard, then this goal completely exposed Hengda's problem, especially the players' condition in this game is generally not ideal.

It's no wonder, after all, this is their third game in eight days.

"Old Xu, it seems that I should have asked them to kick slowly."

Looking at the court, Beijing Chinatown controlled the ball and rhythm, and the offense was also very exciting. Gao Han laughed proudly, and Van Gaal's game was indeed beyond his expectations.

But this also once again confirms one thing that Old Man Fan is indeed more suitable to lead young players.

Judging from this game, it goes without saying that the strength of the three foreign players was. The 360-degree ball was just now, and it was a shadow of Xavi, and it can be said to be very critical.

At that time, he got rid of Zheng Zhi and the one who was robbed, returned to defense. In addition, Paulinho did not return to defense in time, resulting in Zhang Xizhe being left without defense. Then Zhang Xizhe passed the ball to Wei Shihao from the front of the penalty area, which was also very beautiful.

Gao Han has always liked this international player very much, with delicate skills and very thoughtful shots. After Zhang Xizhe and Artur partnered in the midfield, it was difficult for Hengda to cut the ball from their feet.

Gao Han even felt that Van Gaal would really play around them in the new season.

Richarlison sieges the city in the front court, Tang Shi and Wei Shihao still need to be carved, Verisimo and Gao Zhunyi both showed their skills in the backcourt, Jiang Zhipeng was a first-timer, but he was not outstanding on the left. It is estimated that he is still adapting to Van Gaal's tactical philosophy.

Deng Hanwen on the right is okay, but he still can't let go.

However, Gao Han believes that as the game deepens and the league is polished, they will perform better and better.

"Scolari is still not as good as Lippi." Boss Xu shook his head and sighed.

There have always been voices outside. I heard that Hengda intends to let Lippi come back to coach again, and now Gao Han has heard it with his own ears.

In fact, whether it is Lippi or Scolari, Hengda's style has not changed much. This is one of the few teams in the Chinese Super League with their own stable technical and tactical style.

Gao Han naturally would not talk much about Hengda's internal affairs. Scolari and Lippi are familiar with him and there is no need to offend others. Besides, Scolari is indeed not suitable to lead a club.

…………

…………

When the game reached the 87th minute, Hengda finally scored a goal. A cross from the right, Goulart headed the ball to the top, and the ball bounced back on the post, and Paulinho, who had been ambushing in the frontcourt and waiting for the opportunity, quickly inserted it, and scored a goal in front of the goal to score a goal, winning a goal for Hengda.

But in the end, Guangzhou Hengda lost to Beijing Chinatown 1-2 at home.

This victory not only gave the whole country a new understanding of the reorganized Imperial Guard, but also made head coach Van Gaal famous and completely conquered Beijing fans.

Number of shots, threatening attacks, ball possession rate, pass times, pass success rate, and even tackles...

In these key data, Beijing Chinatown suppressed Guangzhou Hengda with considerable advantages, which is extremely rare in the Chinese Super League. What is even more surprising is that the three foreign players in Beijing Chinatown all showed a very high level.

Artur is at home and forms a dual-core with Zhang Xizhe. He has made many beautiful passes and escapes. Verisimo also performed well in the defense line and made mistakes on the defensive end, but the biggest highlight is his ability to shoot the ball. As a central defender, he even made two passes, and both succeeded and looked very confident.

Forward Richarlison scored twice, and his comprehensiveness was undoubtedly revealed in the game, including body, technology, speed, game execution... He showed almost all the qualities a forward should have.

Although it was just a game, everyone had no doubt that Beijing Chinatown found another good product.

The deal was really cost-effective to sell Ilmaz's 10 million euros in exchange for three younger but more powerful Brazilian foreign players, but it was very cost-effective, but it was very consistent with Chinatown's usual characteristics.

Foreign players performed well, and domestic players were also very good.

Wei Shihao and Tang Shi both had an assist. He Chao also looked very good at the midfield. He was also dragged back, but he was not inferior to Zheng Zhi on the opposite side. This made people see hope vaguely. Needless to say, Jiang Zhipeng and Deng Hanwen have already proved their strength in the national team.

Although it was just a game, Beijing Chinatown showed everyone his strength well.

The 2-1 away kill of defending champion Guangzhou Hengda undoubtedly fired the first shot of the new season for Beijing Chinatown.

What is more worth mentioning is that after the game, Gao Han met Robert from Barcelona's technical department, but the first player to ask about was Artur.

"He is the best player in the game. He touched the ball forty-seven times, and made ten passes with thirteen passes. The pass success rate is as high as 88.2%. There is no way to stop him except for fouls."

"Oh my God, Mr. Gao Han, you have dug up the treasure again!"

After seeing Gao Han, Robert praised Artur with a chorus and completely forgot that the purpose of his trip was Paulinho.

But Gao Han smiled and said that Artur is still very young and has great potential to explore. Beijing Chinatown will not consider selling him for the time being, and the players will definitely not have the intention to leave.

Just kidding, I just came to China. In a team like Chinatown, there are famous coaches like Van Gaal. Artur will make a transfer if he is stupid. Even if he really wants to change, he will have to increase his ability before he can change.

By the same token, for Chinatown, selling now will not make much money.

Artur's potential is unquestionable if he can hit Robert's eyes in one game.

…………

…………

While Beijing Chinatown won 2-1 away, Shanggang won 5-1 and Shenhua won 4-0. The first round of the Chinese Super League staged a goal battle, and the market was also very popular.

But in comparison, the most glorious one is Beijing Chinatown.

No one expected that Van Gaal's team would be able to overthrow the defending champion away in the first game of the new season, and not just the result, but also suppress the opponent in the process. This is indeed a very surprising thing.

But how long can this old-fashioned team that has just changed hands and has undergone restructuring?

A week later, in the second round of the Chinese Super League, Van Gaal's team played away two consecutive rounds, defeating Guizhou team 2-0. Richarlison and Wei Shihao each scored a goal, and the assists were Jiang Zhipeng and Artur.

Richarlison also scored three goals in two games, overwhelming big-name stars such as Tevez, and tied for first place with a famous Chinese Super League scorer like Elkeson.

With two consecutive victories in two rounds, Beijing Chinatown quickly ranked second in the Chinese Super League standings, ranking only behind Shanggang. Instead, the defending champion Hengda team lost away in the second round after losing two consecutive points.

If everyone was still skeptical about Beijing Chinatown and doubted Chinatown's operating ability before the league started, then after the two rounds of the game, the whole country couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of their hearts.

What is good quality and low price?

The three foreign players from Chinatown are the best interpretation.

The world-renowned coach Van Gaal not only brought advanced technical and tactical concepts to Beijing Chinatown, but also brought about a complete transformation.

Everyone also began to vaguely realize that perhaps this season's Chinese Super League, Beijing Chinatown will break the traditional power structure.

Maybe such surprises will come one after another.

After the two rounds of games, the Chinese Super League was temporarily suspended, and the national team regrouped to prepare for the two key World Cup qualifiers in late March, with home matches against South Korea and away challenge to Iran.

These two games will directly affect China's qualifying situation. If both can win the opponent, the Chinese team will qualify early and advance to the World Cup again after fifteen years of separation, which will further ignite the domestic football enthusiasm.

Especially his mortal enemy, South Korea, their current third-place team is not safe at all. Head coach Stilek is also facing a serious coaching crisis. If he can't defeat China in this game, he probably will really abdicate and give in to the virtuous.

For China, winning South Korea at home, continuing to defend the results of the first cycle, completely breaking the Korean fear and fear of South Korea, and at the same time, it can also bring itself one step closer to the World Cup.

So, for whatever reason,
Chapter completed!
