5:2 against Henan Jianye, Jiangsu finally grab a win in last 20days. This three points make sure the team still top four in Group A.

Despite scored 5 goals, there are also something Mr.Olaroiu need to take care of: The moral of Star players, use of rotate player, and Gu Chao.

Santini’s header made a great start

I am glad that Santini line-up with Teixeira & Eder, with Miranda in the defending line. The Croatian target man made his first hat-trick in CSL. The third goal is the gift for his good attitude toward the game. Our coach clearly understand the key with Henan is to score more than the opponent. Wakaso made an assist ,a great crossing in counter. Sub him in second half keeps the vitality of the midfield, but I think he played too much since he arrived. The same exhausted is Teixeira, who has missed at least three cut clean chance in the game, still played for the whole match. Wu xi / Ji Xiang / miranda also played more than 600Mins since the season start, nearly every moments of the game. I can fell their tiredness when Abduwal push Ji Xiang outside the pitch in the second half, when our capt. Wu Xi gasp for breath in the last mins.

Santini’s second goal, magic heel

It’s not surprising Henan made two goals in the late time of first half. You have to pay for poor concentration at that ten mins. Or, let’s change the words, you have to allowed the rotate player make mistakes when you using them. Tian yinong hasted foul gave a penalty and Wang Shangyuan’s wonderful long shot equilized the scoreboard. Thanks to Eder, we quickly get the lead again. The result has been decided after Ni Yusong’s red card. Jiangsu keep on push in every pitch, get two more goals and settle the game.

Eder ensure the lead in first half

I am a little disappointed for the late sub of Huang Zichang, lack use of Gao Tianyi and Zhang linfeng. They are the future of this team if you give them enough time to play or make mistakes. Why you don’t give them a try if you allow Tian Yinong continuously made mistakes? or, if you have two goals ahead in the game, 11 Vs 10 with the bottom team of group?

Santini finish his hat-trick

The last concern is Gu Chao. Zhang Yan did not get too much gunfire in this game, and nearly saved a penalty, much better than last game. Should we keep using him when facing Shandong? or should we use more experienced Gu Chao? The pressure of big game always made him very sensitive. Can he overcome the devil inside him this time?

Great crossing from Wakaso

We have 6 more game in this stage, stay in top 4 to continue our dream of being the Champion of CSL is the first priority.
