1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 12th Shandong media Jinan Times published an article talking about Taishan’s preparations. At 20:00 on June 14, Shandong Taishan will challenge Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the 14th round of the Chinese Super League away game.
Taishan team faced a key positioning battle in the first game after the interval period. Tianjin Tigers, who played at home, ranked sixth with 19 points, and was only 2 points away from the fifth place. Once they won at home in this game, Taishan team’s ranking will continue to decline, and there is no way to talk about the league championship.
Compared with the previous seasons, the Taishan team was not greatly affected by the national recruitment during the past interval. There are only three international players in the national football team, Wang Dalei, Xie Wenneng and Huang Zhengyu. Among them, Wang Dalei played in the last two top 18 games of the national football team, while Xie Wenneng and Huang Zhengyu started in the game against Bahrain.
The situations of these three players are different. Wang Dalei’s performance as the captain of the national football team still won the recognition of fans. Huang Zhengyu’s performance as the starting midfielder also made up for the defensive shortcomings of Ivan’s diamond midfielder. Xie Wenneng played as the right-side forward in the game against Bahrain. He not only had to complete the offensive task, but also faced huge pressure on defense, and his performance was fluctuating. For them, due to the short preparation time, Choi Kang-hee may give a certain amount of rest time to ensure the overall stability of the team.
In addition, Yu Jinyong and Mai Wulang followed the U22 national football team to visit Belarus to participate in a friendly match. Shandong team, with Taishan B team as the team, had just participated in the Complete Games qualifiers. With the lack of young players’ reserves, the replacement of the old and new Taishan team that the outside world expects has not been smoothly promoted. It is difficult for Taishan team’s main structure to undergo large-scale changes in the middle and late stages of the league.
Compared with other Chinese Super League teams, Taishan did not arrange high-quality warm-up matches during this interval. On the one hand, this shows that the technical and tactical system that Choi Kang-hee insisted will not change. On the other hand, it also makes people worry whether Taishan will make the old habit of “slow-heating” after the league restarts. Judging from the league matches in the past two seasons, Taishan team has the upper hand against Tianjin Tigers, but both draws were won and tied, but both draws were won away. Tianjin Tigers still have good competitiveness at home.
If you want to make a breakthrough away, Taishan’s top priority is to ensure the stability of the defense line. It is worth paying attention to whether the shortage of full-backs can improve. On the offensive end, Kresan, Vacco and Zeka are in good condition, heThey also expressed their support for Choi Kang-hee before. If they can fully share the ball rights, the team’s offensive rhythm will be much smoother, but the opponent will definitely take strict precautions, especially with targeted restrictions on Cresan. The Brazilian striker needs to be smarter in handling details.
At the same time, the Taishan team’s game pace in late June is relatively tight. After this game, they will prepare for the FA Cup 1/8 final with Chengdu Chengdu on June 20. For Choi Kang-hee, who is determined to compete for the FA Cup championship, the two games need to be considered overall, and lineup rotation is also a work that must be done.
