Sometimes we have to believe in fate. One year ago today (November 30), Guoan won another Football Association Cup trophy in 15 years at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center; and almost at the same time a year later (December 1 15:00 on the same day), Guoan is about to usher in the moment of hitting the league championship at home. Although the locations and opponents are different, everyone has the same expectation: fight for the championship!

The scene of the toast a year ago is still replayed in the minds of many fans, and a year later, Guoan, playing at home, still hopes to bring the same joy to the fans in this city. This time, the leader of the team changed from German Schmidt to Frenchman Genesio, but their goal remains the same, which is to do their best to dedicate a wonderful game and give the championship to everyone who loves this game. The team, the people who love this city. At the pre-match press conference between

and Shandong Luneng, both Genesio and Park Cheng were very relaxed. The latter even bluntly said, "I think the runner-up in the league is fine." Of course, this is just a joke by Park Sung . At this point, no one will not want to win the championship. No matter who the opponent is, no matter what the result of the direct competitor is, the only thing Guoan has to do now, or the only thing he can do, is Play your game well and have no regrets.

A year ago, when Guoan drew 1-1 with Luneng in the first round, the outside world was not optimistic that Guoan would eventually win the championship trophy after the two rounds. However, Schmidt's statement at the time was very firm and he would definitely win. Bring the championship back to Beijing. A year later, Genesio said at the press conference that what everyone needs to think about now is how to play well and play what we want. The charm of football is that you can never predict the future results. We have to wait until the end of the game to know the result of Evergrande. No matter what it is, we can accept it calmly. Regardless of whether there is a surprise in the end, the most important thing is to play our own game well.

Although the Frenchman's statement was not so strong, his aura can clearly be felt from his words. Nothing in the football world is static and predetermined, not the FA Cup, nor the league. Since we were able to win the championship a year ago under such an unpopular situation, although the initiative is not in our hands this time, as long as we do our best, who can say that God will not favor Guoan?

After talking about Guoan, let’s talk about the opponent Luneng. Li Xiaopeng is still so low-key and cautious, just like all his previous performances. One detail can fully illustrate the popularity of Luneng coach. While the team was waiting on the sidelines to enter the field, almost all Guoan players and coaching staff who had finished training took the initiative to come up and greet him, and Li Xiaopeng would respond with a handshake and a smile. This situation is not seen in other Chinese Super League teams. In fact, it is rare. At the

press conference, Li Xiaopeng showed his humble and humorous side in response to the topic that Guoan coach Genesio said that Luneng’s advantage lies in his body while Guoan’s advantage lies in his ability to pass and receive. “We are now in the league with Guoan. There is a gap of more than 15 points. To face such a strong opponent, we can only use hard work to make up the gap." Having said that, Guoan has never defeated Luneng under Li Xiaopeng in two years, so it must not take him. What he said was "too serious".

Next weekend, Luneng will also go to Shanghai to compete with Shenhua in the second round of this season’s FA Cup final. Regarding this, Li Xiaopeng said bluntly, “There is indeed a more important game for us to play. This time I brought 21 Every player has a chance to play, because the strength is relatively balanced, and all players will not hold back when playing. "

On October 31, 2009, it was the first time in the history of the Guoan team. It was also the day after won the league championship for the first time, and it snowed in Beijing. This time, two days before the competition, it snowed again in Beijing. Is this a coincidence? Let’s find out on the playing field!
