AFC Guoan 3: A 3-less draw with Tai Po. Ramiro mistakenly used one person to hurt the team. His confused decision caused a lot of harm.

Beijing Guoan is a guest to challenge Hong Kong team Tai Po. I originally thought that the overall strength of Beijing Guoan was obviously stronger than that of Taipu, and they should be able to win the game and get their first victory in the AFC Champions League in the new season. However, I never expected that what awaited Beijing Guoan was a frustrating 3:3 draw.

In less than 30 minutes in the first half, Beijing Guoan fell behind 0:2. Beijing Guoan, who was behind by two goals, seemed to have been awakened, and then gradually regained some form. In the subsequent game, it scored 3 goals in a row to achieve a 3:2 reversal. However, just when everyone thought that Beijing Guoan could gain a big comeback victory, Guoan failed in the final moments of the game, and Dabu equalized the score in the 90th minute of regular time, 3:3! The 3 points Guoan received instantly turned into 1 point.

Looking back at this 3:3 game, the reason why Beijing Guoan could not win against the Tai Po team in Hong Kong, China, apart from the weak defense players, also had a lot to do with the muddle-headed hiring of new coach Ramiro. Facing the Tai Po team in Hong Kong, China, Ramiro was obviously a little too confident. Not only did he not use the entire main lineup (hiding many main players such as Gujia and Seiniao), but he also committed a military taboo, which is to rotate the goalkeeper position in key games.

In this campaign, facing the Hong Kong Tai Po team, Ramiro actually put the main goalkeeper Hou Sen on the bench, and entrusted the substitute goalkeeper Zhang Jianzhi, who had been away from home for a long time, with an important task, letting him start and play the entire game. You know, Zhang Jianzhi has only played 1 game for Beijing Guoan so far this season, and his performance has been mediocre. In such a crucial AFC Champions League game, it is really puzzling that Ramiro chose to trust such an embarrassing substitute goalkeeper.

Judging from the game process, Zhang Jianzhi's performance was also very disappointing. Although the three goals Beijing Guoan conceded in this game were not directly related to him and were all caused by mistakes made by the defenders, his weakness and lack of toughness at critical moments were indeed to blame. Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the first goal he conceded. If he could be more decisive and smarter, he could completely resolve the goal. After the game, he scored a team-low 5.9 points, which is undoubtedly the best evaluation of his poor performance.

In this game, if new coach Ramiro did not use Zhang Jianzhi, but continued to use main goalkeeper Hou Sen, Beijing Guoan would not have received a draw in this game. From this perspective, it was new coach Ramiro's confused employment that deceived Beijing Guoan.
