No fear of wind and rain ahead, dream of rain in green grass - Yanbian Longding Kexian team s 2025 China League One 19th round summary

On the evening of August 2, in the 19th round of the 2025 China League One, Yanbian Longding Kexian drew 1:1 with Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team at home. At the Yanji National Fitness Center Stadium, 28,091 spectators witnessed the game and used the shouts that shocked the audience to help Yanbian Longding Kexian team lose a goal first and then tie the game tenaciously.

Speaking of the competition between Yanbian Longding Kexi'an and Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team, fans will naturally think of the beginning of this season that Yanbian Longding Kexi'an encountered a "four consecutive visits", and in the fourth round, they met Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team. At that time, the running-in between Yanbian Dragon Ding Kexi'an teams was not yet in good condition, and the players' cooperation and attack strength on the field need to be improved. The Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team, which is at home, is full of energy. Just 3 minutes into the game, Liu Huan of Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team scored a free kick in the frontcourt. Subsequently, An Yifei's push shot in the penalty area expanded the score to 2:0. On the other hand, Yanbian Longding Kexi'an team, although Huang Zhenfei broke into the penalty area and shot, Forbes' barb shot, Lu Rongkaihu, Li Qiang and others failed to achieve anything, and could only accept a result of 0:2. In this game, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team used high-pressure to cut off the midfield pass of Yanbian Longding Kexian, and foreign aid Forbes was closely guarded. Yanbian Longding Kexian's ability to break the opponent's intensive defense was obviously insufficient.

Before this round of the game, Yanbian Longding Kexi'an ranked third in the China League One standings. Although he lost to Liaoning Iron Man Rural Commercial Bank, which ranked first in the China League One home court, after multiple rounds of competition, Yanbian Longding Kexi'an team has had gratifying changes in the main lineup and player growth. In addition, the "devil's home court" is looking forward to winning. Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Yanbian Longding Kexi'an team took preconceived ideas and fought fiercely with the Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team, which was eager to score points, with an extremely fast offense and defense speed. In the 8th minute, Domingos sent a free kick, and Wang Zihao shot, and the ball was blocked by the defender. In the 29th minute, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team Gonzalez scored a goal, and Yanbian Longding Kexian team fell behind 0:1. In the 74th minute, Yanbian Longding Kexian made a cross from the right, and foreign aid Ukachukwu hit the heel in the penalty area to the back point. Forbes understood it and quickly inserted and shot the ball to score, tied the score 1:1.

This game not only demonstrated the tenacious resilience of Yanbian Longding Kexian's team, but also exposed the difficulties on the road to super League. First of all, the team's offense has some highlights. Yanbian Longding Kexian team dared to confront each other head-on, adopted a 3-4-3 formation, with a ball possession rate of 61%, with a corner kick number of 8 to 1, and a dangerous offense that led the opponent significantly with 57 to 27, showing strong positional combat organization capabilities. Foreign aid Ukachukwu's heel pass and Forbes' timely follow-up reflect the good cooperation ability between foreign aids. However, we also saw that the Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team quickly contracted its defense line after leading the score in the first half, adopted a 5-back formation, and achieved its strategic goals through targeted defense and personal capabilities of foreign players. The Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team's strategy of keeping one point is a low-key strategy, which is very practical on the field. On the other hand, Yanbian Longding Kexian team failed to take effective measures to break its formation. In the mobile battle, the intensive defense of Shijiazhuang lacked cracking methods, making it difficult to expand its advantages to overtake. Secondly, in terms of dealing with emergencies, the players of Yanbian Longding Kexi'an team need to be improved in their ability to deal with it calmly. In the 41st minute of the game, Wang Zihao scored in the penalty area, but the linebacker signaled that offside was the first, and the goal was invalid; in the 63rd minute, Ukachukwu pushed the ball into the penalty area, and the referee made a foul first, and the goal was invalid, which put a lot of pressure on the players' psychologically. During the game, Feng Zhuoyi of Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team was sent off for two yellow cards, but Huang Zhenfei was sent off by the referee for a foul without the ball, which obviously increased the pressure on Yanbian Longding Kexi'an team players. Until the end of the game, the players were unable to get rid of the pressure, and without one person missing from both sides, they did not find a more effective offensive space.

The two confrontations between Yanbian Longding Kexi'an and Shijiazhuang Kung Fu team this season can be said to be a collision of idealism and realist tactical ideas. This draw reminds us that rushing to the Super League not only requires short-term investment, but also requires long-term youth training system and stable financial support. At present, Yanbian Longding Kexian has a highlight of nine consecutive home wins, achieving the goal of maintaining eight to four, but it should focus on further improvement and expansion of tactical system and sustainable operations, strengthen structural shortcomings on the road to the Super League, cultivate players' stable mentality and ability to resist setbacks, and ensure the accurate implementation of the head coach's tactical intentions.

Don't be afraid of the wind and rain ahead, and the green grass dreams of the rainbow. The team's goal of the Super League has never been to fight alone, but the force of the players' sweat and the shouts of thousands of fans. There must be wind and rain on this road, but there will be a rainbow after the wind and rain. Yanbian Longding Kexian team is moving forward bravely because they firmly believe that the rainbow belonging to Yanbian football is right ahead!
