In terms of tactical layout, Luneng is faced with a blow - Sun Junhao's absence due to the World Cup campaign has significantly weakened the team's control of the midfield. In Sun's absence, coach Hao Wei will probably use foreign aid Jadason to switch to the fullback position, partnering with Fellaini to form a solid backline defense. In the back of them, the midfield commander Moises is expected to sit in the central axis, directing the front attack, cleverly for the front line players to deliver shells.
In the front line, Cressan will undoubtedly become the sharp knife of the Luneng impact on the opponent's goal; with him alongside the trident, is expected to be led by the local star Chen Pu and Liu Binbin.
According to this speculation, Luneng's potential starting lineup against Cangzhou Lions could be as follows: Wang Dalei; Song Long, Zheng Zheng, Shi Ke, Li Longhai; Jadason, Fellaini, Moises; Chen Pu, Cressan, Liu Binbin.
