On December 1, Beijing time, the Wuhan Zall Club officially released the Football Association Cup quarter-final poster "Inch counts". Their opponent in this game is Beijing Guoan.
Wuhan Zall added to the poster: “Time flies like a shadow, and we are on a horse. In the last month of 2020, you and I have more possibilities to explore. Every inch of the battle is counted. Let’s work hard!”
This season, Wuhan Zall's experience has been very tortuous from preparing for the game to playing in the Super League. Affected by the epidemic, the Zall team left Wuhan for winter training in early January and "drifted" outside for more than three months before returning to Wuhan in April. Finally waited until the Super League restart, the team experienced thigh Rafael injured and left the team, coaching change and other disturbances. From breaking into the top three in the group stage to entering the relegation group, and finally competing with Hangzhou Greentown for the last place in the Super League, Zall used the word "difficult" to describe it this season.
This time in the Football Association Cup, Zall did not show his ambition to compete for the title, but was more about adjusting and preparing for the next season. In the last round, Zall's all-China class eliminated Taizhou Yuanda 2-0. In this round, Zall will face Beijing Guoan.
As the first team of Guoan has the task of AFC matches, the second team of Guoan who played in the FA Cup has an average age of only 19 years. However, in the last round, this group of youths eliminated Chengdu Xingcheng with a score of 1-0. For Wuhan Zall, the power of these young people should not be underestimated.
The so-called new born calf is not afraid of tigers, and the Guoan teenager can go into battle without pressure and is more open when he is known to have a strength gap with his opponent. Therefore, Wuhan Zall needs to be more careful. After all, as a Chinese Super League team, if most of the main players are in the battle, if they lose to the youth army, it means that the team as a whole has a big problem.
