The Korean team's opponent in the same group also expressed their support for the Peninsula team.
"It's great that Melbourne actually lost, Seoul FC has one less strong opponent"
"Seoul won the weakest Peninsula team in the next round, and there should be no problem in qualifying"
"Melbourne Victory can't even play the weakest team in the Chinese Super League, Seoul has a lot of hope"
Japanese fans also gave their opinions on the match,
"Fortunately, Melbourne lost, and Sanfrecce Hiroshima still has a chance"
"The performance of the Chinese Super League team this year is okay, and the other groups are also okay, and the Jinyuan policy is really good"
"Did you watch the game upstairs? The Peninsula team is an all-Chinese class."
"Victory over Melbourne in the next round, Hiroshima still has a chance"
Although the Peninsula team won, the players still understand that the new season has just begun, and the first round of the Chinese Super League will be played in a few days.
Sandwich began preparations for the Chinese Super League shortly after the game, and it was essential to know the opponent's situation before the game.
Although the City Green team is not a strong team, the team's South Korean style of play is distinctive, the head coach is the famous coach Hong Myung-fu from South Korea, and the team also has a large number of excellent players such as Forrest Gump, the top scorer of the Norwegian Premier League, and Australian international Cahill.
Kim Dapeng naturally knows these situations, but he feels that he can play against the Korean team in advance, which will help him play against Seoul FC in the next game.
Since it was an away game, the team came to the match city 2 days in advance to adapt to the conditions of the away game and other conditions.
The last game against Melbourne Victory has exhausted the physical strength of many players of the Peninsula team, and with the "can't run" style of play of South Korea, the opponent City Green team, many people are still not very optimistic about the Peninsula team.
The match was played as scheduled at the Huanglong Stadium, the home of the City Green team, with the Peninsula team still using the usual 451 formation, while the City Green team lined up with a 442 formation, with the top scorer of the Norwegian Super League Forrest Gump and the Australian Super League star Cahill partnering the forward line.
At the beginning of the game, the players on both sides entered the state of the game and were not in a hurry to attack, the Peninsula team has always been a defensive counterattack style of play, while the City Green team has not fully entered the game due to the first game of the new season, but the goal of both sides is the same, both sides are positioned to relegate in the new season, and both sides are going to take all 3 points in this game.
The City Green team, which was playing at home, gradually took the initiative in the cheers of more than 20,000 fans, which is also very much in line with the appetite of the Peninsula team.
The City Green team gradually relied on active running and scrambling to gain the initiative on the field, while the Peninsula team was obviously a little uncomfortable with this style of play, the competition in the Central League was far less intense than the Super League, and Melbourne Victory mainly relied on the advantage of physical confrontation, and the opponent in front of him relied on the "running and not dying" style of play.
But Jin Dapeng knows very well that although the City Green team relies on constantly running to create opportunities, the players in the team are still mainly domestic players, and their physical fitness cannot support such a high-intensity running on the whole field, and striker Cahill is older and may not be able to play 90 minutes like this.
Thinking of this, Jin Dapeng is confident that his physical fitness can support him to play the whole game, and as long as he does not concede a goal now, when the opponent's physical fitness declines, there will be more opportunities.
The City Green team is still gradually strengthening the attack, and the pressure on the Peninsula team's defense is also increasing, Feng Bu has repeatedly defused the opponent's attack, and Feng Bu, who is a little anxious, shouted to his teammates, "Pay attention to the mark, don't miss people".
Seeing the increasing pressure on the back, Jin Dapeng in the front court couldn't calm down, he kept retreating to get the ball and even directly participated in the defense.
"Just wait for the ball in the front court" Seeing that his only striker was back to defend, Sandwich shouted to Kim Dapeng through an interpreter.
Hearing the head coach's words, Jin Dapeng immediately understood that Sandwich still wanted to win the game, Jin Dapeng made an OK gesture to the head coach, and then stretched out 4 fingers to his teammates.
The Peninsula players know that this is the team's code and a sign that there will be some changes in the next step of play, which only the Peninsula players themselves know.
The Peninsula team usually does not put in too many personnel when organizing the attack, so the backline of the city green does not leave too many people, which also creates the conditions for the Peninsula team to counterattack.
Li Jie broke the ball in the backcourt, at this time Xi Wa, Li Jian and even defender Li Te moved forward at full speed, Li Jie passed the ball to Lei Jiasi on the side, Lei Jiasi took the ball through the half, and for a time formed a 5-4 situation in the half of the city green team.
Lei Jiasi and Li Jian made a 2-by-1 cooperation, Li Jian immediately distributed the ball to Xi Wa, who had already set the edge, Xi Wa received the ball and continued to run to the bottom line, the defenders of the City Green team had to catch up behind him, and Xi Wa passed the ball to the middle when he was about to reach the bottom line.
Jin Dapeng, who had been waiting in the penalty area for a long time, easily pushed a shot into the corner near the penalty spot, but the goalkeeper of the City Green team did not react due to the close distance and the fast angle of the ball.
Jin Dapeng scored the first goal of the Peninsula team in the Chinese Super League, and after the goal, Jin Dapeng naturally made his trademark move.
Before the opponent's physical fitness declined, he was already 1 goal ahead, and Jin Dapeng was secretly happy in his heart. However, he still knows very well that the game is not over yet, and the score on the field will be rewritten at any time.
After conceding the goal, the City Green team was obviously not satisfied, and the whole team immediately stepped up their attack, and the manager kept reminding the players on the sidelines.
Perhaps awakened by the goal conceded, the City Green team played more and more aggressively, while the Peninsula team was tired of defending, and Kim Dapeng rarely had the support of his teammates up front.
The midfielder of the City Green team won the ball through active scrambling, a few simple passes broke through the defense of the Peninsula team, Forrest Gump received the ball and entered the penalty area, Li Jie accidentally tripped Forrest Gump in defense, the referee decisively awarded a penalty and showed Li Jie a yellow card.
Although the Al Jazeera players were unhappy with the penalty, the referee stood by his opinion.
The penalty was taken by Cahill, who deceived the goalkeeper and slotted it to the other side, the ball went into the corner, and Cahill was so excited that he made his trademark boxing move near the corner flag on the track, and the fans applauded Cahill's goal.
The score was equalised, and the Peninsulars players were a little depressed, but the game was not over yet.
