Meizhou Hakka opened high and went low, losing 5 consecutive defeats on both sides + losing to the second team in the FA Cup!

Reporter Wang Wei reports Yes, Meizhou Hakka lost again, on May 20, in the third round of the FA Cup, facing the leader of the South District of China B, although Ji Shengpan scored one goal, but Hengchen scored two goals in a row, and in the end, Meizhou lost 1-2 to the opponent. Counting the Chinese Super League and FA Cup, Meizhou has been winless in 6 games, and suffered 5 consecutive defeats in both lines, the dark horse color at the beginning of the season has faded, and there is only one thing they have to consider next, that is, relegation.

Considering the intensive schedule and the need for some players to recover their condition, in this FA Cup, although Yang Ultrasound, Liao Junjian, Wang Jianan, Zhong Haoran and other main players continued to start, coach Milan also gave a chance to substitute, Tian Ziyi, Li Ning, Sun Jianxiang, Ji Shengpan, Chen Xuhuang, Yang Yihu, Wenda and other starters.

Hengchen ranks first in the South Division in the second division, with a record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and has recently won 6 consecutive victories, and morale is booming.

Judging from the course of the game, due to the slippery field and the run-in between the main and substitute players was not very good, Meizhou did not show their own strength, although they scored first - in the 22nd minute, Ji Shengpan scored a single goal. Nine minutes later, Hengchen player Guo Zicheng equalized the score. In the 73rd minute, Gao Yixuan, who came on as a substitute for only 6 minutes, assisted, and Huang Yonghai helped Hengchen lock the win. In the end, Meizhou suffered a reversal away from home and lost 1-2 to Hengchen.

When they fell behind, Milan replaced Yi Xianlong, Zhang Hao, Wei Zhiwei, Ling Zhongyang and other players on the field in an attempt to change the score, but ultimately failed.

For the loss, the Meizhou players have an explanation. After playing the away match against Yukun last Friday, Meizhou moved from Yuxi to Nanning, playing two games in five days, which was a challenge for them who had just come down to the plateau, and Meizhou was not very comfortable with the playing field, and the players were muddy after the game.

"There is a lot of water, and the state of our players who have few games is still adjusting, and the afternoon game is not very adaptable." Captain Liao Junjian explained that he also said that the players who had fewer games before still need to run in with the team.

Milan were disappointed with the performance of some of the players, "Against the second division team, and most of them were substitutes, we as a Chinese Super League team, the performance of some players was very disappointing. ”

Next, Meizhou will take a short break to adjust, and then go all out to prepare for the away game against InBev on the evening of June 13.

Of course, for Meizhou, the alarm of relegation has been sounded, so it is not a wise move to go out of the FA Cup.

At the beginning of the season, Meizhou performed well, and even had some dark horses, but the recent performance has been very bad, and with the FA Cup, it has been five consecutive defeats on both fronts.

The poor results are directly related to injuries, and many players are recuperating from injuries, especially foreign central defender Morris, who left the field with an injury in the 9th round of the Chinese Super League away against Manatee, and has not fully recovered until the away game against Yukun. In this way, Milan had to use the midfielder Jocic to partner with Liao Junjian in central defense, but the effect was mediocre. This also shows that Meizhou's substitute players in many positions are relatively thin, basically a turnip and a pit.

Another point is that Meizhou conceded more goals, plus 30 in the FA Cup, which also has a certain relationship with the style of play. Meizhou has often been beaten and counterattacked this season, and even the goalkeeper was too close to the door for a few games.

"This year, we also have high requirements for high pressure and switching play, and we need a certain amount of time to train and adapt." Liao Junjian said, "Training adjustments during the interval and secondary transfer reinforcements should help." ”

Milan don't see a problem with the style of play, saying the players will adapt and of course he wants to bring in some more players.

At the end of June, the summer window is about to open, and Meizhou needs to strengthen many positions such as central defenders and midfielders on the defensive end. If the strength is enough and the tactics are adapted, then it is not impossible for Meizhou to stop falling and rebound.
