Reporter Wang Wei reports On the evening of March 1, Meizhou Hakka defeated Henan Jiuzu Dukang 2-1 at home and won the first victory of the Chinese Super League in the new season. With 4 points from 1 draw and 1 win in the first two rounds of the opening game, Meizhou Hakka, who stayed in the Chinese Super League this season, is impressive - since the 2022 season in the Chinese Super League, they have set a team history record for the earliest arrival of the first win of the season and the most points in the first two rounds of the opening game.

This is the first home game of the new season for Meizhou Hakka, and more than 16,000 fans have come to watch the game.

Meizhou Hakka coach Milan continued to use the starting lineup from the previous round. In the 26th minute, Jocic, the core of Meizhou Hakka's midfield, was injured in a scramble, and 21-year-old new recruit Chen Xuhuang came off the bench to usher in his debut in the Meizhou Hakka team.

In this game, the domestic players of the Meizhou Hakka team continued to maintain good form, especially the striker Yang Zhaoxuan, who started two consecutive games. In the 44th minute, Yang Ultrasonic received a clever short pass from Liu Yun in the penalty area and volleyed the goal at almost zero angle to help Meizhou Hakka break the deadlock. Just two minutes into the second half, Yang Xuan made a world wave near the arc of the penalty area to help the team take a 2-0 lead.

Another outstanding performer was goalkeeper Guo Quanbo. Before the end of the first half, Guo Quanbo bravely saved the opponent's penalty kick and tried not to lose the goal, which was his second consecutive round of penalty saves.

After the game, Milan praised Yang and Guo Quanbo by name. "I'm very happy with this game. I've been in Meizhou Hakka for five years, and as we all know, I usually don't comment on individual players after the game, but today I want to comment on our two players, the first is Guo Quanbo, who saved two penalties in a row, which is very remarkable; There is also Yang Ultrasound, who completed the brace. ”

It is worth mentioning that Wei Xiangxin, a member of the U17 national team trained by the Meizhou Hakka youth training system, came off the bench in the 85th minute. Wei Xiangxin, who turned 17 on March 5, had a brilliant left-sided breakthrough shot that broke the record for the youngest player to appear in the Meizhou Hakka top league.

After the game, captain Liao Junjian said: "Domestic players have indeed changed a lot this year, there are many young players, and everyone wants to prove themselves, so what they play is different." ”

In the stoppage time countdown stage, the Meizhou Hakka goal was almost lost, and the Henan team's empty goal hit the crossbar, this time the luck stood on the side of Meizhou Hakka, and there was no danger to hold the result of 2-1 and won the first victory of the season. "The atmosphere created by the Hakka fans in Meizhou tonight is really unbelievable and crazy. Part of the reason for today's victory is the shouting and support of the fans. And luck was on our side at the last minute. "In the final stages, we conceded in the corners and that's one of our weaknesses this year, because we don't have an advantage in height overall, so we're going to work on that." ”

Yang said in an interview after the game: "I am very excited and excited about the two goals today. It's a great blessing to be able to help the team win with goals in the game. After the goal, I was more focused on the game itself and thinking about how to get more advantages for the team. In retrospect after the game, the moment of the goal, accompanied by the cheers of the fans, the moment of celebration with teammates, was a sense of pride and happiness in the success of teamwork. All this is inseparable from the efforts of all teammates and the tactical arrangement of the coach. ”

In the first round, Liu Yun and Liao Junjian scored, and in this round, Yang Ultrasound scored twice. In these two games, Meizhou Hakka's biggest feeling to the outside world is that the domestic players are in very good condition and perform well. As one of them, Yang Ultrasound also feels the same way. "This is my fourth year playing in Meizhou Hakka, and I have a very deep affection for the team and the fans. I think every player in our team, especially the domestic players, cherished every game this year more and showed a more determined mentality in the game, trying to implement the skills and tactics arranged by the coaching staff and finding their own rhythm. "I think this change mainly stems from several aspects: first, the coaching staff formulated a systematic training plan for us during the winter training period and made a lot of targeted adjustments; Secondly, the atmosphere in our team is very good, everyone trusts each other, and this strength of unity makes us more confident on the field; Thirdly, the mentality of our whole team is also stable, we are more aware of our responsibilities, cherish every Super League game, and strive to contribute to the team. I think the combination of these factors has contributed to the improvement of our overall form. ”

After leading by two goals in the last round, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger scored two goals in a row to equalize after 90 minutes; This game was also a two-goal lead, and was almost drawn by the Henan team in stoppage time. As for how to solve the problem of defensive instability after taking the lead, Yang said: "It is not uncommon for the opponent to equalize the two-goal lead, or to be forced to draw or even be killed in stoppage time, and we are facing such pressure in the final stage of two consecutive games, which should indeed be taken seriously." To be able to score two goals to take the lead showed that we gave our best in the game and fell into passivity in the final stages of the game, which showed that we had a lot of energy in front of us, and it also showed that we still have room for improvement in terms of concentration and energy distribution in the final stages of the game. As players, we need to further improve our fitness and focus and intensity at the end of the game, and I am confident that our coaching staff will make tactical adjustments to ensure that we can maintain our high intensity in the final stages of the game. We cherish tonight's win, but we are also well aware that the season is still a long way to go and we need to continue to work hard to prepare for the next games and try to bring more exciting games to the fans. ”
