Beijing Shougang team has finished the first two stages of the competition. Their current record is 17 wins and 11 losses, ranking eighth temporarily. Shougang team has been on holiday, and three foreign aid Liff, Gibson and Nick Johnson also returned to the United States to reunite with their families. According to the plan, Shougang team will take off on the 28th and re-prepare for the third stage of the competition. Shougang team will face many strong enemies in the third stage. They need to be prepared in physical and psychological aspects.
Although Shougang team ended in the second stage with four consecutive defeats, their overall record in the first two stages was acceptable, and the team basically won the match that should be won. Shougang team currently ranks 8th. At present, the teams ranked 4th to 7th all have 17 wins and 11 losses, and Shougang team has the same record as theirs. According to the schedule, the third stage will start on March 1st. The Shougang team has 7 home games and 7 away games, including many direct competitors in playoff seats, therefore, Shougang team will face a very strong challenge in the third stage.
As far as I know, Shougang team disbanded after finishing the last game of the second stage, and the players ushered in the Spring Festival holiday. Many players choose to go home for the Spring Festival. After all, they have hardly been able to go home during the Spring Festival in the past three years. Three foreign aid returned to the United States. Shougang team will reassemble after the Spring Festival holiday to prepare for the third stage of the competition.
There is more than a month between the end of the second stage and the beginning of the third stage. Shougang team needs to make good use of these time. On the one hand, let the injured players recover as soon as possible. Including foreign aid Liff, Gibson, domestic players Qiu Tian, Tian Yuxiang, Zhang Cairen, Raymond and so on all have varying degrees of injuries, and they need to recover well. On the other hand, Shougang team needs to adjust the state of foreign aid. Judging from the previous two-stage performance, Nick Johnson’s characteristics have a certain gap with the team’s expectations. Shougang team wants to go further in the season, especially to win more victories when playing against strong teams, they need to make some adjustments in the aspect of defender’s foreign aid.
