Reporter Chen Yong reports On the 15th, Shandong Taishan carried out a routine ceremony to climb Mount Tai. On the 19th, the Taishan team will usher in the final round of the group of the East Asian zone of the AFC Champions League and play away against Ulsan HD, South Korea. After defeating Gwangju FC in the last round, the Taishan team has a good qualifying situation, and a draw will have a high probability of advancement, and even a loss may lead to the next stage, but if you consider the 1/8 final situation, the goal of the Taishan team on the 19th should be to win.
At present, the Taishan team has 10 points, scored 12 goals and conceded 14 goals, ranking 7th. If the Taishan team beats Ulsan and reaches 13 points, it will definitely advance to the quarterfinals, and if it draws, it has 11 points, and there is a greater possibility of promotion.
Ulsan only had 3 points from the first 7 rounds, scoring 4 goals and conceding 16 goals, and the only game to win was against Shanghai Shenhua, and Ulsan has lost the possibility of qualifying. The new season of the K League has begun, on the 16th, Ulsan just finished playing a K League, 0-1 loss to Anyang, and the second round of the K League will be played on the 23rd.
However, the Taishan team should not put the hope of promotion on the opponent's rotation, but should focus on themselves, as always, give 100% effort, as always, play aggressively, and play effective counter-attacks as always, so that there will be more chances to embrace victory. For the Taishan team, the current disadvantage of the team is more obvious: the team's tactical delicacy is not enough. In the Asian arena, because the strength of the teams is stronger, the Taishan team needs to complete the technical and tactical requirements through more running and scrambling, and the physical requirements are higher, and the current physical situation of the Taishan team does not seem to be enough to be trusted. Another disadvantage is that the Taishan team has certain hidden dangers in the central defender position.
The advantages of the Taishan team are also very clear: the team has been accustomed to strangulation battles, and has a certain experience in playing tough battles, and will press high according to the situation of the game, or directly defend and counterattack in the low post. At the same time, the counterattack ability of the Taishan team is strong, Cressan, Kazaishvili and Zeka, the foreign aid trident, find a sense of cooperation, plus Xie Wen can assist from the side, the counterattack efficiency is very high, although Zeka is a center, but the ability to wander is strong, the ability is more comprehensive.
On the one hand, the Taishan team should give full play to its own advantages, and on the other hand, it must ensure physical fitness and ensure the stability of the defense through effective substitutions.
On February 14, Shandong Taishan officially announced the joining of Hong Kong player Li Xiaoheng, a 23-year-old player who has had trial experience with Paris Saint-Germain and Ajax, and the official profile focuses on his characteristics - aggressive scramble and excellent breakthrough ability. However, Li Xiaoheng lacks an excellent professional resume, and it is still unknown whether he can help the Taishan team.
At the same time as the official announcement of Li Xiaoheng's joining, recently, Qingdao Manatee officially announced that Song Long joined on loan, and Zhejiang officially announced that Tong Lei transferred to join. In addition, Sun Guowen transferred to Zhejiang, Leonardo transferred to Shanghai Port, Ji Xiang continued to stay in Nanjing City, Liao Lisheng transferred to Chengdu Rongcheng, Delgado will join Chengdu Rongcheng on loan, Duan Liuyu transferred to Qingdao West Coast, He Xiaoke transferred to Qingdao West Coast, Jia Feifei loaned Qingdao Manatee, Han Rongze also joined Qingdao Manatee, and Zhang Yingkai transferred to Chongqing Tonglianglong.
