As for the goalkeeper, Han Jiaqi, who is in excellent form, will guard Beijing Guoan's city as usual; as for the back line, Coach Suarez seems to continue his usual four-guard system, and the four-guard lineup in the starting lineup is expected to include Zhang Chengdong, Wang Gang, Engadeu, and Li Lei. Among the four, Ngardeu and Zhang Chengdong will partner with the double center backs, while Li Lei and Wang Gang will stick to the side backs.
As for the midfield, there is no doubt that the key role responsible for interceptions and stealing, Beijing Guoan's core back of the midfield back non-nationalized player Li Ke; and Portugal's soccer superstar Guga will play alongside Li Ke, constituting the core of the midfield of the double back. It is expected that before these two backs, domestic midfield strength player Zhang Yuan will replace Zhang Xizhe, to take up the important task of midfield organization and scheduling. At the same time, the experienced Zhang Xizhe will be a substitute, ready to come on in the second half and play the key role of "substitute wizard".
As for the attacking line, the team's top scorer Fabio Abreu will undoubtedly continue to lead Beijing Guoan's offense up front; the forward trio that will partner him is expected to consist of Lin Liangming and Fang Hao, two international-class wingers. Zhang Yuning, on the other hand, will be on the bench, ready to take over the attacking duties.
Accordingly, Beijing Guoan's projected starting lineup against Henan is as follows: Han Jiaqi; Zhang Chengdong, Wang Gang, Ngadeu, Li Lei; Li Ke, Zhang Yuan, Guga; Fabio Abreu, Fang Hao, Lin Liangming.
