On February 17th, Kawasaki Frontale will play a cup match against Kobe Victory. Just three days later, they will host Shandong Taishan. Coupled with the first round of matches, the three matches in a week give Kawasaki head coach Oniki a problem. Both matches are important and the team is bound to be physically exhausted. Shandong Taishan have enough breaks to rest for a week and can recover well. Away tactics are secondary. The results of the winter training "devil training" should be shown.
With a single goal win, Shandong Taishan will achieve their goal of tying the game in two rounds of regular time. Choi Kang-hee's ace is finally going to appear. Bi Jinhao will make his debut in the second round after missing the previous match due to illness. With Peng Xinli and Gao Junyi, two new recruits having average debuts, the pressure was on Bi Jinhao not to darken Choi Kang-hee's face. If his favorite players are getting worse and worse, the old Choi will be under a lot of pressure, and it may even affect his marquee position.
In the first round of games, Shandong Taishan had bad luck, the defense players entered a slow state and did not form a tacit understanding with each other. And the opponent's goalkeeper played too well. The scenes shown in the first round of Shandong Taishan's matches gave the players more confidence. Players who haven't appeared in the scenes of Bi Jinhao, Xie Wenneng, Delgado, etc. are expected to be the key men in the second game. Choi Kang-hee is not conservative away from home and there is only one way to attack. Paying attention to set pieces and opponent's passes basically curbs half of the opponent's offensive advantage, and Shandong Taishan can take advantage of the situation.
