October 20 News At 18:00 on October 23, Beijing Guoan will play away against the Hong Kong Super League team Tai Po in the AFC Champions League second-tier league. According to the "Football News" report, a team member said: "Actually, the internal anger has always been there, and I have never thought about giving up or not fighting."

On the night of the loss to Xinpengcheng, the team was also very anxious. Although the game was not held in the evening, many players, coaches and staff had trouble falling asleep late at night. Almost everyone was discussing the same question on WeChat: What happened to Guoan? how so?

A team insider said: "In fact, the internal spirit has always been there, and I have never thought about giving up or not fighting. Even when Setien was in office, he went all out in every game, and he did not lose control of the team. No matter what lineup and style of play were arranged, the players resolutely implemented it. As for why it is like this, it may be that we have been thoroughly studied and targeted by our opponents, whereas before we did not care about facing Everyone is focusing on me. Now, the opponent is in the dark and we are in the open, and it is inevitable to be attacked."

Specifically for the game against Xinpengcheng, the players admitted that the team is in the process of tactical adjustments. Although the style of play is not much different from the past, Ramiro requires the offense to speed up, which requires them to double or even triple the original rhythm. Now there are only two weeks of training and only one game. Everyone, including foreign players, needs to adapt to the new rhythm.

"Of course, we cannot shirk responsibility for losing this game, but we should also see that the team's offensive methods have been enriched a lot, including getting many corner kicks in the frontcourt, which formed threatening shots. As for why we didn't score, we don't want to blame luck. We can only say that we need to continue training and continue to improve." The player said.

The club is more concerned about the team's problems than anyone else, but it also stated that it will not negate the efforts of the coaches and players from just one game. "The team is still changing to a positive aspect. I hope the coaching staff and players will have enough confidence in themselves and carefully summarize and play the following games, especially to maintain the spirit of 'fight until the last minute.' No matter how the game is played, the spirit must be there." A team member said.

Guoan is now in a very critical moment. After the league championship is completely hopeless, the Football Association Cup final has become the last straw. However, before the decisive battle, every game can be called a battle of self-redemption. This makes the AFC Champions League second-level away game against Dabu on October 23 particularly important. Since the team has not been to Hong Kong for many years, the club sent the vanguard a few days in advance to start the game. After the first team played the game against Xinpengcheng, they stayed at the Zhaoqing Sports Center for training in order to adapt to the weather in the Greater Bay Area. According to the plan, the team will train in Zhaoqing until the 22nd and then head to the away game. During the previous intermission, the coaching staff had begun to study the Tai Po team's playing style and personnel. The team agreed that the strength of this Hong Kong Super League team should not be underestimated. First of all, they must pay attention to their opponents psychologically. Their ability to defeat Macarthur at home shows that they have strong combat effectiveness. Guoan is playing away from home, so they must fully consider all difficulties.
