According to reports from the Football News, although Beijing Guoan achieved a double-kill against Tianjin Tigers in the Beijing-Tianjin Derby with a 2-0 victory, the crisis for head coach Suarez has not been completely lifted. However, this timely victory has slowed down the process of replacing the coach.
Although they previously eliminated the second-tier team Wuxi Wu Gou in the FA Cup, this relegation contender from the China League One presented a considerable threat to Beijing Guoan. Coupled with two consecutive defeats in the Chinese Super League, the pressure on Suarez was immense. In the match against Tianjin Tigers, Suarez made two adjustments to the starting lineup: Chi Zhongguo replaced Zhang Xizhe, and Zhang Yuning replaced Adebayor. With a bit of luck, Guoan managed to secure a 2-0 victory over Tianjin Tigers.
Football News reports that after suffering a defeat away from home against Shanghai Port, the Guoan management team held in-depth discussions with Suarez. In essence, they issued an ultimatum to Suarez: if he failed to make timely adjustments, he would be dismissed from his position at any moment.
In the match against Tianjin Tigers, Guoan shifted from a 433 formation in the first half to a 442 formation. It was precisely this adjustment that made Guoan’s offensive efficiency more effective, ultimately resulting in two goals and a victory.
While this timely victory has slowed down the process of replacing the coach, Suarez’s crisis has not been completely lifted. The stubborn Suarez remains optimistic about his future at Guoan, but this optimism needs to be supported by a string of victories.
