From the 14th round of the Chinese Super League on June 13 to the 19th round, Meizhou Hakka has 3 home and 3 away: the 3 main opponents are Beijing Guoan, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Shanghai Port, Meizhou Hakka has a certain gap with these 3 opponents compared with the overall strength; The opponents of the 3 guests are Dalian InBev, Henan team and Shandong Taishan, and there are not many points. The interesting game was at home to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers on June 29, which was the first game of the second half of the Chinese Super League. Meizhou Hakka's style of play does not seem to be scared of the Jinmen Tigers, in the 6 historical meetings between the two sides, Meizhou Hakka 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses, including 3 at home 1 win and 2 draws to remain unbeaten, in the first leg of the match between the two sides this year, Meizhou Hakka led the whole game, and 90 minutes later was chased into a 2-2 draw by the Jinmen Tigers with two goals in a row.

Liao Junjian introduced: "During this interval, the team practiced hard and the training time was relatively long, we mainly consolidated the previous technical and tactical play, and then conducted targeted training for the characteristics of the next Dalian InBev. "It is understood that during this interval, Meizhou Hakka trained some new tactical cooperation to cope with the later stage of the game." This period of time mainly focused on the defensive positioning of the midfield, the conversion rate and efficiency from defense to attack, and also practiced the overall movement of the defense, hoping to improve the defense in the next games. ”
Meizhou Hakka's technical and tactical play this year has changed a lot compared with the past, and the pressing style of play has given the opponent a great threat at the same time, it has also left a lot of holes in its midfield, and it has been hung by the opponent several times in the previous games. "It's true that the way the team plays this year has changed a lot from before, the goalkeeper has been in the phase of grinding tactics before, and now the first half of the game is almost over, and the back line and the goalkeeper are gradually adapting to the new style of play." Liao Junjian said.
Next, whether it is an away game against Dalian InBev or a home game against Guoan and Jinmen Tigers, it is a vicious battle. "Dalian InBev's conversion is very powerful, the speed of the striker is also very fast, we must have targeted arrangements in defensive selection, of course, we will also play the characteristics of our team against Dalian InBev's defensive loopholes, give full play to our offensive tactical characteristics, I hope to have a good result." Liao Junjian said.
In fact, the coaches and players of Meizhou Hakka know the importance of the next game and the difficulties they face, so they practiced hard during this interval and tried to show the team's training results in the next games.
At the same time, the Meizhou Hakka team also hopes that more fans will come to the scene to cheer for the team, "Fans are a very important part of the team, our daily training and every game are for fans to see more beautiful games, we will strive for more victories, and I also hope that more fans will support the Meizhou Hakka team, and the support of fans is the biggest driving force for us to move forward." ”
In the next three rounds of matches against Dalian InBev, Beijing Guoan and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Meizhou Hakka team did not have a hard game, "A good team must dare to show itself, play its own level, and create more difficulties for the opponent, whether it is facing a strong team or a team with similar strength." ”
The summer transfer window is about to open, and this is also an opportunity for Meizhou Hakka to use reinforcements to improve their strength. Morris, a previously injured centre-back, is recovering, and his comeback will be crucial to Meizhou Hakka's defence. At present, Meizhou Hakka is looking for players with a certain degree of competitiveness in the transfer market, hoping to improve their offensive and defensive strength after the summer window.
