Gustavo claimed illness and left the team, Henan's depleted squad suffered a reversal.

Journalist Lu Mi reported. In the 6th round of the Chinese Super League, Dalian Yingbo stationed at the Suoyuwan Professional Football Stadium faced Henan team, which was plagued by injuries, with their strongest lineup. This match saw Henan team deeply trapped in a personnel crisis: offensive core Nassario and foreign player Mubra were both absent due to injuries, and another foreign player Gustavo claimed illness and missed the game, further worsening their already stretched squad. In this desperate situation, Henan team had to deploy midfield players to act as forwards to launch attacks. Although captain Wang Shangyuan scored early to take the lead, in the second half, due to exhaustion, they fell into passive defense and were ultimately defeated by a last-minute goal in stoppage time, suffering a 1-2 away reversal. They helplessly swallowed the bitter fruit of three consecutive losses, and team morale was severely impacted.

Before the match, Henan team's injury crisis was already fully exposed. According to coach Ramos' confirmation at the pre-match press conference, offensive core Nassario had a thigh strain and could not travel with the team; the winter window signing winger Mubra, because his physical condition did not meet match standards, also missed this game. The most distressing absence was that of foreign player Gustavo. During preparation, he twice claimed physical discomfort. Team doctors in Zhengzhou examined him but found no abnormalities, yet he insisted on going to Shanghai for treatment by a familiar doctor, bringing his family along with an uncertain return date. This behavior not only further reduced the team's foreign player roster but also became a key factor affecting Ramos' lineup arrangements.

Henan team could only field two foreign central defenders. Coach Ramos was forced to make helpless adjustments, pushing several midfield players to the forward line, relying on their running and attacking power to seek scoring opportunities. Thus began a battle of a depleted squad resisting a strong opponent.

After the match started, the depleted Henan team did not choose to turtle up in defense but actively sought offensive opportunities despite their困境. Although the forward line lacked professional striker support, midfield players毫不犹豫地 pushed forward to attack. Players like Zhong Yihao and Yang Yilin frequently穿插跑动, trying to break through Dalian Yingbo's defense. After resisting the opponent's攻势, Henan's persistence paid off. Wang Shangyuan seized an opportunity outside the penalty area and blasted a shot to help Henan take the lead in adversity. This was not only Wang Shangyuan's个人精彩表现 but also a缩影 of Henan's depleted squad's拼搏.

The away-leading Henan team saw hope of securing points, but a one-goal lead is never a guarantee, especially with such a lineup. Players'体能 began to明显透支 shortly after the second half started. Midfield players长期客串 as forwards had to参与进攻 and回防补位; the高强度跑动 left many players showing fatigue. Meanwhile, Dalian Yingbo gradually found their rhythm amidst the home fans' cheers. Stanciu's midfield调度 became愈发流畅, and Malalei also gradually gained opportunities.

Under被动局面, players could only rely on意志力苦苦支撑. Dalian Yingbo's进攻一波接一波. In the 85th minute, Malalei seized an opportunity and推射破门 from a small angle, tying the score 1-1 for Dalian Yingbo. At this moment, Henan players'士气 suffered a打击,体能 was濒临极限, and defensive动作也变得迟缓.

After tying the score, Dalian Yingbo士气大振 and continued to pressure Henan team, while Henan could only passively defend,难以组织起有效的反击. During stoppage time,吕焯毅 fired a世界波 volley from outside the penalty area, the ball直钻球门死角, giving Dalian Yingbo a 2-1反超比分. This绝杀彻底击碎了 Henan's hope of securing away points and plunged the拼搏 depleted Henan team into despair.

Henan team lost 1-2 away to Dalian Yingbo, suffering three consecutive league losses, currently仅积1分排名联赛第12位. Dalian Yingbo,凭借这场胜利,迎来四连胜,积12分升至联赛第3位.纵观整场比赛, Henan's失利 was both the无奈 of personnel shortage and the必然 of士气受损. The injuries of Nassario and Mubra nearly瘫痪 the team's进攻体系, and Gustavo's比赛和训练态度 since joining the team worsened the形势上和人员使用上 situation at the team's most艰难的时刻.

Throughout the match, Henan's midfield players拼尽了全力, even reaching a point of人员弹尽绝粮. They放弃熟悉的位置,客串锋线发起冲击, using跑动和汗水弥补阵容的不足. Under体能透支, they fought until the最后一刻 but遗憾未能带走积分. For Henan team, this失利带来的不仅是积分上的损失 but also士气上的重创. Especially, behind Gustavo's问题 is a考验 of team凝聚力, which管理层必须引起重视.
