Facing the bottom-ranked and goalless home team Wuhan Sanzhen, how will Zhejiang Greentown, who has been giving surprises to weaker teams this season, respond? Despite missing out on winning streaks, how will they compete with stronger opponents afterwards? Both head coach Kanneda and captain Frank remain calm in their reactions.

Frank takes each game seriously. Unlike many Chinese Super League teams starting the break as a holiday, Zhejiang Greentown faced Dalian Yifang and Yunnan Kunming away, then returned to Hangzhou for two days of training before a 5-day break. They continued daily training at Zhongtai Base, even playing a friendly match during Qingdao West Coast's training visit.

In the last Monday's friendly match, both teams made extensive substitutions. Zhejiang Greentown showcased almost all of their troops. Notably, Gabonese forward Bupengza, a high-priced signing, got more playing time, while former Turkish Super League top scorer Shenwei still needs more time to sync up for goal-scoring duties.

In the first two league rounds, both goals came from captain Frank. Despite being 33 and not at his peak, the Croatian midfielder continues to lead the team in grabbing points with his dedication and experience. Facing Wuhan Sanzhen in Friday's away game, the team remains relatively calm. In the past three seasons, they faced off six times, with Zhejiang winning four, drawing one, and losing one, holding the advantage.

Frank views Wuhan Sanzhen as a decent team based on past encounters, stating, "We have always had good games against them." With six national team players in their squad, Zhejiang Greentown looks set for upcoming challenges post-break.

Coach Kanneda is focused on preparing the team for the upcoming match, aiming to improve their attacking prowess after significant defensive progress from last season. He acknowledges the need to score more goals and emphasizes their goal to give their best effort in every game. The desire for the first win of the season is evident in their early departure for Wuhan, signaling their hunger for success.

As they face Wuhan Sanzhen, who are currently struggling, Kanneda has done his homework and notes the increased balance in overall team strengths this year. While he hasn't publicly disclosed specific ambitions for the Wuhan match, it's clear that Zhejiang Greentown, aiming to be a strong contender in the 2025 season, is determined to perform well this year.
