卡纳瓦罗期待赛季的第一个冠军

In China, and the first trophy of the new football season is up for grabs later today in Hangzhou, as Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao meet Shandong Luneng for the CFA Super Cup. The event pits the CSL winners against the FA Cup winners from a year ago.

Luneng, last year's FA Cup champs made some major changes in their line-up. Letting key striker Vagner Love go. Cuca's side also did not bring back defenders Ryan McGovern and Du Wei. But new signing Diego Tardelli is expected to strengthen their offence.

Guangzhou also made a major change. Marcello Lippi is now longer the coach, but is not the director of football for the club. His former disciple on the Italian national team Fabio Cannavaro takes helm of the 4-time defending CSL champs.

The south China team also signed Brazilian international Ricardo Goulart and Alan, replacing the Italian duo of Alessandro Diamanti and Alberto Gilardino.

Cannavaro is emphasizing that his team push forward and does not worry about conceding goals as a result.

"The reason I focus on offence in training is that I believe offence is the best defence," Cannavaro says.
