Chen Song did not get a satisfactory answer from Lin Qi, and even Lin Qi, who has always been full of self-confidence, showed such a dignified look when facing the Osaka Gamba team.

Both the players and coaches of Izumi City remember the last time they played away at Gamba Osaka. In that game, they played very well, and they even received praise from the media after the game, but they still couldn't beat Gamba Osaka with such a good performance.

Whether it's offensive or defensive, Gamba Osaka looks so flawless. It was as if no matter how hard the Springs team tried, they were doomed to lose this game.

In fact, not only the media and fans, but also the majority of the Spring City players think so.

Gamba Osaka is really not an opponent they can defeat with their current strength, just as they can't defeat the Qilu team either.

The failure of the city derby is still a big blow to the confidence of the players, coupled with all kinds of hype in the media, the Quancheng team from the coach to the players are tense, they hope that even if this game cannot be won, they will do their best to fight for a glimmer of hope!

Chen Song's work is back in the office, and he watches the video of the Osaka Gamba team over and over again, trying to find a way to deal with Osaka Gamba from it.

After watching it for several days in a row, the Osaka Gamba team still disappointed him. Even Chen Song felt despair, and the more he learned about the Osaka Gamba team, the more he felt that the Izumi City team could not win against the Osaka Gamba team.

Chen Song watched the match between Buriram United and Gamba Osaka the most, and the Spring City team was not too difficult to face Buriram United. They also have the possibility of beating Buriram United, which shows that Buriram United is not much stronger than the Spring City team, and Chen Song hopes to learn from Buriram United.

Buriram United have won one and drawn one in their home and away two-legged matches with Gamba Osaka, and their experience may help the Quancheng team.

Chen Songzai watched these two games carefully and carefully from beginning to end many times, and he thoroughly read any details and any tactical arrangements for these two games. But it was precisely because he saw it too thoroughly that Chen Song felt that they couldn't win against Osaka Gamba.

If the Springs team can threaten Buriram United because their tactical play is more restrained Buriram United, then Buriram United can defeat Gamba Osaka because their tactical play restrained the Osaka Gamba team.

It's just that the Spring City team failed to seize the advantage of this restraint, and Buriram United grasped it!

Chen Song is interested in learning the style of play of Buriram United. But that kind of small team style of play is too difficult for the Spring City team. Sometimes a physical advantage can also become a disadvantage on the court.

Tall players tend to turn slowly, are not agile enough, and don't work as delicately on their feet as smaller players.

All in all, Buriram United's style of play is not learnable by the Spring City team. And in short, yes. Izumi still doesn't have a way to deal with Gamba Osaka......

In this slightly torturous preparation. Quancheng ushered in their 16th round of the Chinese League.

In this game. The players on the field of Spring City were a little absent-minded, and they were held to a 0-0 draw at home. This is also the first draw of the season for the Spring City team, and it is also after Lin Qi broke through the rookie wall. Springs did not score in their first game in the Chinese League.

0:0！ Such an answer obviously did not satisfy the fans of the Spring City team. What they feared the most still happened, and the results of the Spring City team in the Chinese League were affected because of the AFC Champions League after all.

The strength of the Quancheng team's opponents in this round is not strong, and in addition, it is the home field, so they can easily win the opponent. But the players on the field don't have much desire to attack~ in fact, they spend most of their time on the field trying new things, trying some new ways of playing, new tactics.

These new attempts were not arranged by Chen Song, but by the players spontaneously. They also know that if the Izumi City team doesn't make some changes, it will be impossible to defeat the powerful Gamba Osaka!

So they kept trying to change, trying aimlessly, and it led to a rare draw.

After this round, the Quancheng team is still in second place in the standings, but the gap between them and the Qilu team has increased to 9 points! If this continues, fans have no doubt that the Quancheng team will also be thrown out of the first group by the Qilu team like the Royal Yanjing team, thus losing the qualification to compete for the championship of the Chinese League!

So after the game, the Springs team was heavily condemned, and media reporters helped the Springs fans to make their voices heard.

"Is this the attitude of the Spring City team towards the Chinese League? No matter how you look at it, they all regard this game as a warm-up match for the AFC Champions League. We can also understand that the Izumi City team, the decisive battle with the Osaka Gamba team put a lot of pressure on the Izumi City team, but in that case, why not give up early? Anyway, it will be difficult for the Izumi City team to defeat Gamba Osaka and advance to the round of 16! ”

"Springs lost this game unjustly, they could have picked up three points at home. If it weren't for the fact that too much attention was paid to the AFC Champions League, the points gap between Quancheng and Qilu would not have widened to nine points. Before the match against Gamba Osaka, the Spring City team still has three games to play in the Chinese League, will they also play in this way? ”

"If that's still the case, I really recommend that the Quancheng team give up that game and concentrate on the Chinese league and not fall behind. This year is definitely a good opportunity for the Quancheng team to compete for the championship of the Chinese League. "Some of the media are sharp, and some of the media are sincere.

They were right, this season is indeed a good opportunity for Springs to compete for the title of the Chinese League. Don't look at the Qilu team's momentum now, when the knockout round of the AFC Champions League begins, the Qilu team's results in the Chinese League will inevitably be affected.

Under the strong desire for the AFC Champions League title, it is not possible for the Qilu team to give up the Chinese League. They don't lack honor like the Quancheng team, the champion of the Chinese League, the Qilu team has already been soft, and it is not a big deal to give up for a year. For the Qilu team, the most important thing is the AFC Champions League!

The Chinese media is again urging Quancheng to abandon the AFC Champions League, which is similar to how Quancheng played before Seoul FC.

It's just that Gamba Osaka is not Seoul FC after all, and in the face of such a decisive battle, even if the Quancheng team really gives up the AFC Champions League, they will not take it lightly. What's more, they didn't believe that the Quancheng team would give up at this time.

Win or lose, it's the last game. If the Izumi City team gives up at this time, even the Osaka Gamba team will feel a pity.

Of course, in the eyes of the Osaka Gamba team, it doesn't matter if the Izumi City team gives up or not, anyway, the Izumi City team can't stop them from advancing to the top 16!

Unlike the Izumi City team's intense preparations, Gamba Osaka is full of confidence, and they are now in form as if they have started the knockout rounds of the AFC Champions League.

This game is really like a knockout round, win and advance to the round of 16, and lose will be eliminated!

Gamba Osaka in the knockout stage is not the same as the group stage, and only in the knockout stage will Gamba Osaka show their full strength. If Buriram United meet Gamba Osaka in this state, even tactical restraint may not be able to win against them.

Gamba Osaka is a team that has the strength to win the AFC Champions League! The Quancheng team seemed so weak and vulnerable in front of them......

The condemnation of the media made Chen Song feel very bad, but such condemnation also made Chen Song wake up from the state of preparing for the Osaka Gamba team. Gamba Osaka put too much pressure on Chen Song, so much so that even when he stood on the field of the Chinese League, all he thought about was how to deal with Gamba Osaka, which was also the main reason why they were forced to draw by their opponents.

The players didn't do anything, and as a manager, he didn't make any changes......

Chen Song, who came to his senses, decided to put the AFC Champions League aside and patiently play the remaining rounds of the Chinese League first of the Quancheng team. The current Izumi City team not only needs tactical arrangements for Gamba Osaka, but also needs confidence!

If this poor performance continues in the Chinese League, then by the time it comes to the battle against Gamba Osaka, perhaps the confidence of the players of the Izumi City team will be exhausted.

This is something that Chen Song does not want to see, so in order to help the players build confidence and be motivated against Gamba Osaka, the Quancheng team needs a few big wins!

Under Chen Song's careful preparation, in the seventeenth round of the Chinese League, the Quancheng team broke out in an all-round way, defeating the opponent with a score of 6:0, Lin Qi scored four goals in this game and staged a big four!

After the eighteenth round of the Chinese League, the Quancheng team made another effort, bringing back three points 4:1 away, and Lin Qi's goals increased by two again.

In the last round of the first half of the season, the Spring City team is still unreserved.

5:0！ The Springs team won their third big game!

When the Quancheng team went crazy, their attack was still very powerful, and the last three big wins established the second place in the standings of the Quancheng team, and they ranked behind the Qilu team with a seven-point difference.

The Qilu team was once again held to a draw by their opponents in the final rounds. In the first half of the entire league, the Qilu team remained undefeated in the Chinese League! (To be continued......)
