It was kind of hard to see what happened in our home match against Xinjiang.
The yellow ball didn’t make a very good contrast to the white pitch. Our players slipped and slid around, and were barely able to pull off an unconvincing 2-0 win in the end.
It really wasn’t much of a match. Lee Jin-Yong wound up being our Man of the Match in the end, though I personally didn’t think he was impressive. Jeong Sang-Bin scored again, but also had two goals ruled out for being offside — and he was clearly offside for both attempts.
We were fortunate that Xinjiang’s offense never really was much of a threat in this match. We’re really going to need to play better than this if we expect to continue to win.
Shenzhen
We’re going down south for a Chinese FA Cup match against yet another Chinese Super League side.
This time we’re playing in Shenzhen. The media think we’re going to lose, but the odds are apparently pretty close.
They say that we shouldn’t expect much of a crowd. Shenzhen’s home stadium can seat 60,000, but we’re only expecting 3,000 people to show up. That might wind up working out in our favor.
