Taishan will face Yokohama Mariners in the AFC Champions League Quarterfinals, first at home on March 6th before heading on the road to challenge their opponents on March 13th.
Taishan will have a devilish schedule of 7 days and 3 matches from March 3-9, which is the schedule of the new Chinese Super League season. Zhu Yi, as the administrator of Germany Turn China, said that there is no conflict between Shandong Taishan's fixtures in the AFC Champions League and the Chinese Super League. The CFA has reserved time for the AFC Champions League quarter-finals at the beginning of the season, ensuring a three-day gap between matches, in line with FIFA regulations. In addition, Shandong Taishan played their first three matches at home, which was conducive to preparation; there was an interval of more than three days before the away match against Yokohama, which was enough for the team to prepare well.
