Taishan, who had previously trained in South Korea, traveled to Japan on Dec. 9 BST to prepare for an away match against Yokohama Mariners in the final round of the AFC Champions League group stage.
Taesan is the hardest working team in the Premier League and is still in match mode. After the match with Kaya, Taesan went to Jeju Island, South Korea for training, which is an early winter training in preparation for the AFC Champions League group stage. During the week in Korea, Taesan's training was not less intense.
Today, Taesan finished their training in Korea and the team left for Japan. According to the plan, Taesan will resume training on the 10th to prepare for the match against Yokohama Mariners on the 13th. Currently, Taishan is in first place with 12 points, but the qualifying spot is not yet completely locked. Taishan's exit situation is relatively optimistic. As long as they don't lose by more than 3 goals, Taishan will be guaranteed a place in the lineup.
In the first round, Taishan lost 0-1 to Yokohama Mariners at home, but Taishan lacked some luck as they hit the post twice in that match. Once again, Tarzan has a lot of difficulties. Fellaini and Moises had left the team early, and Pato had returned to China early due to injury. In this game, only two foreigners, Jadson and Cressan, can play, and the strength of the team will definitely be affected to some extent. The match between Taishan and Yokohama still can't be sloppy.
The Yokohama Mariners have also seen changes recently. Australian coach Muscat has left and a new coach is uncertain for now. Yokohama Mariners will most likely have an assistant coach on hand for the match against Taishan. Yokohama will have to net more than 2 goals to advance, and they will surely go all out for this match.
Elsewhere in the Super League, Three Town have finished all their group stage competition early, finishing at the bottom of the group with one win, two draws, three losses and five points, missing out on the knockout stages. Zhejiang will face Melbourne City away in the final round. If they win, they still have hope of winning.
