Shandong Taishan drew 1-1 with Shanghai Seaports in the penultimate round of the Chinese Super League, a game that prevented them from stifling Shanghai Seaports' hopes of winning the title and basically put them in second place for the season (although there is still one round left in the league, Shandong Taishan are three points ahead and have a goal difference of eight).
If only for this match, Taishan must feel sorry. Whether it was the red and yellow cards in the game, or the use of chances in the fight for goals, a slight improvement would have changed the outcome of the game.
Yet throughout the season, Taishan have undoubtedly been the most amazing, fortunate, defiant and inspirational team in the Premier League this season, with nothing else to match it!
1. which is the luckiest team?
There are many teams that have had fortunate moments and opportunities, but the luckiest teams tend to be the ones that have been on the road to success.
The lucky teams can be those that have experienced multiple consecutive championships, or those that have had some ups and downs but ultimately succeeded. It can also be the teams that have encountered many fluke victories in key games, or those that have been able to bounce back at the last minute.
However, we should not simply attribute luck to luck; lucky teams are often also those who have put in a lot of hard work and sweat. They strive for perfection in their normal training and constantly improve their ability to cope with different situations so that they can seize the opportunity at the critical moment.
For every fan, the luckiest team may vary depending on personal preference. In their minds, it is the team they support that is the luckiest. Whether it's performance on the field, team culture and fan interaction, the luckiest team is the one that brings endless joy and pride to their fans.
So, there is no absolute answer to the luckiest team. Every team has its own lucky moments and definitions, and "lucky" may have different interpretations for everyone. No matter which team, as long as they can bring happiness and encouragement in their hearts, they are the luckiest team for their fans.
Taishan encountered serious crises of public trust, personnel shortage and loss of league identity in the first half of the season before and after the Chinese Super League! The fact that they managed to play a full season and qualify for the AFC Champions League play-offs can be said to have had an extremely fortunate element to it! What a lucky break!
2. Most Surprising Team
The team's supreme leader, head coach Choi Kang-hee, is at the center of the team's successful comeback. His outstanding talent and performance have undoubtedly demonstrated the crucial role of an outstanding coach to the team. There is no doubt that a good manager has absolute strength.
The addition of Choi Kang-hee allowed Taishan to clarify their tactical strategy, solidify their team cohesion, and begin a pragmatic direction for the team's development. Since then, Taishan's results have risen rapidly, almost from the bottom two to the top two.
From this point of view, Shanghai Harbor's luck is still quite good this season. If Cui Kangxi had come a few days earlier, the championship might not have been predictable.
3. The most successful cases in tactical transformation
Before Choi Kang-hee joined the Taishan team, Taishan's playing style was already quite mature. Despite experiencing a huge change in personnel, Taishan surprisingly managed to show a brand new tactical style in a short period of time, and also gained notable practical results in the game. This transformation can be said to be very successful!
So, despite not winning the title, success has been achieved!
