Shandong Taishan, after a series of personnel adjustments and tactical deployments, officially embarked on a journey to Zhengzhou to prepare for the Chinese Super League showdown with Henan. This time, the Taishan team has a full lineup of key players, including Li Yuanyi, Liu Binbin and Tong Lei, and other local strength players. These players after a period of systematic treatment and adjustment, the physical state has gradually recovered to close to the actual standard, their return undoubtedly for the Taishan team to add more combat power and confidence.
The newly joined foreign aid Marcel is also in the list of this trip. As a new recruit introduced in the summer window, Marcel has already made his Super League debut in the last round of matches and has shown his strength and potential. According to reports, Marcel is expected to get more playing time in this round of matches against Henan, which is undoubtedly an affirmation of his ability and an expectation for him to play a bigger role in the Taishan team in the future.
However, facing the powerful Henan team, Marcel also faces a great challenge. Henan has a good strength in the offensive end, and their quick counterattack and efficient offense often make it difficult for the opponents to resist. Therefore, Marcel needs to be well prepared to cope with the strong impact of the opponents and play his best in the game.
In addition, Taishan's veteran Zhang Qi did not accompany the team to Zhengzhou. Due to the high intensity of confrontation and consumption in the previous two games, Zhang Qi needs more rest time to recover his physical fitness and condition. This decision also reflects the Taishan coaching staff and medical team's precise control and reasonable arrangement of the players' physical condition.
In terms of foreigners, in addition to Marcel, players such as Cressan, Wako and Delgado are all available to play. Their presence provides Taishan with more tactical options and offensive means, enabling the team to be more flexible and versatile in dealing with various situations during the game.
