Three consecutive defeats against a strong team this season! Cui Kangxi was angry at the press conference: The players are pitiful!

Reporter Chen Yong reports In terms of the momentum of the game, the Taishan team in this game can be said to have gone all out, including the front-court offense has also improved, but the Taishan team finally lost 0-1 to Shanghai Shenhua. So far, this season against the strong team Taishan team has suffered three consecutive defeats, against Shanghai two teams suffered seven consecutive defeats, the current Taishan team is 7 points behind the top of the Shanghai Shenhua. At the post-match press conference, Choi Kang-hee also said angrily, "The players in such a game are pitiful. ”

In this game, the Taishan team suffered a personnel crisis, Zeka and Wu Xinghan were suspended with red cards, Gao Zhunyi has not yet recovered from injury, in this case, the veteran Wang Tong who has just resumed training has been put on the battlefield - to a month ago, Wang Tong's right acromioclavicular joint was dislocated, this time, his right shoulder was also wrapped in a thick bandage injury, and Wang Tong insisted on playing for 71 minutes in this game.

The Taishan team adopted a 4231 formation, goalkeeper Wang Dalei, defenders Liu Yang, Shi Ke, Khazar and Wang Tong, defenders Madraga and Li Yuanyi, two fullbacks are Xie Wenneng and Chen Pu, the middle of Kazaishvili, Cressan forward. In the game, Cressan retreated more, and at this time Kazaishvili would be in front.

In this game, the Taishan team was full of momentum after the opening and occupied more of the offensive dominance, but in the 13th minute of the game, Shi Ke made a mistake in handling the ball in the backfield, and Mineiro formed a single knife, but fortunately, Wang Dalei performed well to block Mineiro's push. Throughout the first half, the game was also very intense, Taishan team 3 yellow cards, Shenhua team also had 1 yellow card, in addition to the referee's two suspected misjudgments also caused the dissatisfaction of Taishan players.

There were no goals in the first half, the second half of the game was still fierce, the Taishan team was more aggressive, in the 56th minute Cressan's shot, and in the 63rd minute Cressan after the exquisite cross, Xie Wenneng's header was a pity, but as the game progressed, Shenhua also frequently created threats, in the 66th minute, Shenhua corner kick, Taishan team's defense in the penalty area leaked, Zhu Chenjie failed to seize the opportunity, in the 78th minute, Shenhua Andre crossed, substitute Gao Tianyi inserted a header to rewrite the score.

At the press conference after the game, Cui Kang-hee's mood was very bad, and before commenting on the game, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "The players did their best, the players in such a game are very pitiful, such things keep happening, I can't say anything, the players have done their best, and the responsibility for losing is the head coach." ”

He then said: "At the beginning of the season we proposed that we were the team to win the title. But it's not just a matter of winning or losing, there's a lot of things that can't be discussed. You're all football people, and everybody has seen the game, from the one in Beijing all the way to this one, and everybody has seen it. ”

Although Choi Kang-hee expressed himself relatively vaguely, both speeches seemed to point to the referee's issue. In this game, Cressan was knocked down in front of the court and suspected of missing a decision, for which Wang Tong received a yellow card, Madruga was trampled on at least one reckless foul, and a handball foul by the Shenhua team was also missed.

The referee's decision itself did not have serious consequences, but it greatly affected the mood of the Taishan team, as evidenced by Choi Kang-hee's own performance in the post-match press conference. So much so that in the last question of the press conference, when a Shanghai reporter asked about the marking defense and whether it was aimed at Gao Tianyi's defense, Cui Kangxi was unceremoniously: "Is there anyone marking the defense in this game?" Did you watch the game? We were zoned defensively throughout the game. The questioner's attempt to explain was interrupted: "You're done." ”

As far as this game is concerned, the Taishan team used Xie Wenneng and Chen Pu, two local full-backs, in addition to putting in the attack, the two also paid great attention to the defensive end, which largely ensured the quality of the defense. The Taishan team also cooperated significantly more in this game, and more cooperation also allowed the Taishan team to have more ball possession. But the game, which was supposed to be played well, ended up losing.

After losing this game, Shandong Taishan team has lost three consecutive games against strong teams this season, namely 0-3 Chengdu Rongcheng at home, 1-6 Beijing Guoan away, and 0-1 Shanghai Shenhua in this game, scoring 1 goal and conceding 10 goals in the process of three consecutive defeats.

In addition, starting from the FA Cup final in the 2023 season, Shandong Taishan has lost 7 consecutive games against the two teams in Shanghai, including the FA Cup finals in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, 4 league games in the 2024 season, and this game. The last time Shandong Taishan defeated a Shanghai team was in the 16th round of the 2023 Chinese Super League, Taishan won 3-0 at home against Shanghai Shenhua, and the last time they drew with Shanghai was a 1-1 draw away to Shanghai Port in the 29th round of the 2023 season.

At present, Shandong Taishan is 7 points behind Shanghai Shenhua, 4 points behind Chengdu Rongcheng, 1 point behind Shanghai Port with one less game, and Beijing Guoan with one less game. In the future, it is worth discussing whether the Taishan team will go all out to catch up with the above teams, or whether they will consciously start to rejuvenate.
