Reporter Chen Yong reports In the 103rd minute of the game, Cressan scored twice after receiving a pass from a teammate on the left side, locking the score of the game at 2-0, which was the first win for the Taishan team after 4 rounds of winless league games, and the magic weapon to win the game was the defensive counterattack.
This is the 24th round of the league adjusted due to the preparation of the national football team in the world preliminaries, in this game, the Taishan team has reservations in the lineup, the starting lineup of foreign aid only Cressan played, Kazaishvili, who has been playing steadily, sat on the bench, at the same time, the veteran Peng Xinli and the young man Mai Wulang have been given the opportunity to play. The starting lineup of the Taishan team is: goalkeeper Wang Dalei, defenders Liu Yang, Zheng Zheng, Gao Zhunyi and Zhang Chi, the midfielders are Liao Lisheng, Xie Wenneng, Peng Xinli, Mai Wulang and Chen Pu, and Cressan is the center.
As far as the lineup is concerned, the Taishan team, which is fighting on both fronts, has obviously rotated, Kazaishvili, Huang Zhengyu and other main players have been rested, and Marcel, the newly introduced foreign central defender of the Taishan team, is also on standby. It is worth noting that Zeka, another foreign center of the Taishan team, also returned to the team, and he arrived in Jinan at 2:07 am on the 21st and was warmly welcomed by the fans.
In this game, the Taishan team made a perfect start: in the 12th minute of the game, the Taishan team crossed from the left, Mai Wulang headed back, and Cressan scored with a reverse hook, which was an extremely wonderful goal and a very crucial goal.
After this goal, the Taishan team chose to defend and counterattack, and the home team Nantong Zhiyun was mainly attacking. This season, Nantong Zhiyun played more actively, with a relatively high possession rate and the number of shots ranked 11th in the Chinese Super League, but Nantong Zhiyun did not shoot high on target, tied for the bottom with the Cangzhou male lion, and the offensive efficiency was insufficient.
In this game, Nantong Zhiyun's possession rate was as high as 62.1%, and the possession rate of the Taishan team was only 37.9%, but the Taishan team controlled relatively well at the defensive level, Nantong Zhiyun shot only 12 times, and the Taishan team, which had insufficient possession, shot even lower, only 11 times. In terms of shots on target, Nantong Zhiyun only had 2 shots, and in terms of the number of corner kicks, Nantong Zhiyun also only had 2 times, and the Taishan team did a good job in defensive control overall. Of course, Nantong Zhiyun also had good scoring opportunities, and in the 67th and 89th minutes of the game, they both had chances to equalize, and Taishan's Cressan and Kazaishvili also had chances to extend the score.
The game was relatively messy, with many disputes, resulting in 7 minutes of stoppage time in the first half, 13 minutes in the second half, and in the 103rd minute of the game, Cressan scored from a pass from a teammate on the left to end the game.
It is worth mentioning that at halftime of the game, the Taishan team made a substitution, and the new foreign aid Marcel came on as a substitute for Zheng Zheng. As for Zeka, the foreign aid who has just returned from the Taishan team, it is unlikely that he will return to the field in the short term, and he needs to further adjust his physical condition after a serious injury.
After winning this game, the Taishan team ended the embarrassment of the league 4 rounds of winlessness, in the previous 4 rounds of the Chinese Super League, the Taishan team 2 draws and 2 losses, Ping Yatai and Manatee, lost Guoan and Shenhua, especially the 0-6 defeat caused the dissatisfaction of the fans. In this game, although the Taishan team played quite hard, the victory somewhat alleviated the team's predicament.
From July 28 to August 21, Taishan will face a three-line battle situation, namely the league away against Henan Jiuzu Dukang on the 28th, the league at home against Shanghai Port on August 3, the league away against Cangzhou male lion on the 9th, the AFC Champions League elite play-off at home against Bangkok United on the 13th, the league at home against Chengdu Rongcheng on the 17th, and the FA Cup 1/4 final at home against Henan Jiuzu Dukang on the 21st. In 25 days, the Taishan team has to play 6 games, with an average of one game every 4 days, and the schedule is extremely dense, which may be the reason why Cui Kangxi made a large adjustment in this game.
More than an hour before Shandong Taishan defeated Nantong Zhiyun, in the 17th round of the second qualifying round, Shandong Taishan Jingangshan team (Shandong Taishan B team) defeated Nantong Ke Jiyuan 2-1 away, and won three consecutive victories, in the case of the last round of the second qualifying round, Taishan Jingangshan team scored 26 points, 4 points ahead of the subsequent Beijing Institute of Technology, and won the qualification for the championship group in the second round in advance.
In this season's second league, Taishan Jingangshan team has made great progress, at the beginning of the league, Taishan team played quite nervously, some good games failed to win or even failed to score points, but in the second round, Taishan Jingangshan team defeated the top Dalian Kuncheng and Haimenke Yuan.
