The home of the 60,126-man devil witnessed the first victory in the Super League in the history of InBev Haifa

Special correspondent Ding Xu reports Witnessed by 60,126 fans at the scene, Dalian InBev Haifa sat at the Barracuda Bay Stadium and defeated Changchun Yatai 2-0 with the goals of Zhu Pengyu and Malelai, winning the first victory of the season and the first victory in the Chinese Super League in team history.

Before this round of matches, InBev Haifa faced many difficulties such as points pressure and personnel shortage - only 1 point in the second round, Mamadou and Kalanga were injured, Mao Weijie and Alimi had just returned before being called up on the FIFA match day, and Rabuyard was in the Ramadan period.

Compared with the previous round, InBev Haifa and Yatai are both 3 people adjusted. In terms of InBev Haifa, Li Guoxu still uses 442, Zhu Pengyu replaces Kalanga, who is suspended from the red card, Liao Jintao and Yang Mingrui rotate Jin Pengxiang and Mao Weijie, and captain Lu Peng retreats from the central defender position to play a cameo role in the central defender. It is worth mentioning that the lineup of InBev Haifa has never been practiced in the first two rounds of the Chinese Super League and the previous 10 warm-up games, and the two warm-up games during the interval are also Jin Pengxiang and Song Yue partnering as a central defender.

"Lu Peng is an attempt to play central defender, and there are certain injuries in the team now. Because at home, Lu Peng will have more possession in the central defensive position, including his ball, which will help us to control the game better, and he has done his job well. Li Guoxu explained after the game the reason why Lu Peng switched to playing central defender. It is understood that Jin Pengxiang failed to enter the start due to a calf injury.

In the 31st minute of the game, Malele crossed from the right side of the penalty area, and Zhu Pengyu pushed the goal on the small forbidden line and scored the first Chinese Super League goal in his career, and InBev Haifa led 1-0. InBev scored with only one shot on target in the first half, and the attack was extremely efficient.

Yibian fought again, and InBev Haifa completely occupied the advantage. In the 68th minute, Malele's long-range shot from the right rib was defused by Wu Yake. In the 69th minute, Lu Zhuoyi made a diagonal pass from the right, and Malele rushed to score, and InBev Haifa led 2-0. Malele then had a chance to extend the score, but "Happy Boy" fired wide and hit the side-netting.

According to the technical statistics of the field and the whole game, the possession rate between the two sides was almost the same (49.8%-50.2%), InBev Hai launched as many as 19 times, Yatai only 5 times, the shot on target ratio was 6-1, and the corner kick ratio was 9-2. InBev Haifa took the initiative in the 90 minutes, and the victory was completely reasonable.

'We've been training well in the last four weeks, we've prepared very well for this game, the players are in a very good mental state on the pitch and everyone is getting used to the rhythm of the Super League. Through the two warm-up matches with InBev Haifa U21 and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, the team not only practiced skills and tactics, ran in the lineup, but also allowed the team to maintain the rhythm of one game a week. In the use of young players, Li Guoxu is also quite bold, Liao Jintao and Yang Mingrui started for the first time in the Chinese Super League, and Zhu Pengyu even scored the first goal of the Chinese Super League.

'Very happy because this win has always been what we were looking forward to, it was also our first three points after promotion to the Super League, I won this win with our team and I am very happy. Zhu Pengyu, a 20-year-old player, said excitedly: "There are so many fans who support us at the first home stadium of the Chinese Super League, thank you very much to them, it is their perseverance that has made us successful." ”

The match attracted 60,126 spectators. This data ranks second in the history of the Chinese Super League, second only to the 65,769 people in the 2012 Nanjing Olympic Sports (on October 29, 2012, Jiangsu Guoxin Shuntian 1-1 Guangzhou Evergrande in the 28th round of the Chinese Super League). Before kick-off, a huge TIFO was raised in the Dalian North Stand, and Dalian fans supported the home team with their own practical actions.

"Although the weather was cold, the blood and victory still ignited our home stadium, and I would like to thank all the fans for their support." Official thanks to the die-hard fans of InBev FC. "Thanks to the more than 60,000 fans in attendance, Barracuda Bay is a magical place where players become very confident and confident in every challenge, which is an important factor in our ability to win," said Lee. ”

Yatai's poor performance in the game also indirectly contributed to InBev Haifa. In the first two rounds, Yatai used 4312 and 433 against Shanghai Shuangxiong Shenhua and Haigang respectively. In view of the characteristics of InBev Haifa and its own situation, Xie Hui changed the formation to 442 in this game, but the effect was not good. Before the end of the half, Li Shenyuan and Tan Long were injured, which completely disrupted Xie Hui's pre-game deployment, and the change of formation 4312 was powerless. In the 56th minute, Cyprian left the field with an injury, and Yatai lost the spirit of equalizing.

'It was the worst game we've played since the start of the new season, and in many areas it didn't meet the requirements of the pre-match deployment, so the responsibility for the loss is on me. Xie Hui said after the game. On the other side, InBev Haifa won, and Li Guoxu was in a good mood, "Congratulations to our players for winning the first victory in the Chinese Super League in the team's history." We controlled the whole game and we came out on top. ”

The logistics support of Barracuda Bay has laid a solid foundation for InBev Haifa to win. In the early morning of the day of the race, Dalian, which has been in spring for a long time, ushered in a rare sudden heavy snowfall, with a huge amount of snowfall, heavy snow accompanied by strong winds, and the temperature plummeted to below zero. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the event, Barracuda Bay immediately activated the emergency plan. The staff arrived at the stadium early in the morning to start clearing the snow, and the sporadic snow flakes on the stadium began to melt due to the sunshine in the morning, and the earth rejuvenated, which also indicated that InBev Haifa would have a good omen for its first home game in the Chinese Super League.

Dalian InBev had a poor schedule at the beginning of the season, 1 home and 4 away, and the victory over Yatai in this round is far more than the 3 points themselves, the team not only won the first victory, but also relieved the pressure for the next two consecutive visitors. 'The win is definitely congratulatory, but more importantly we have three games a week ahead of us and we have to go back and be ready for the next two games.'
