On September 29 and October 4, Wuhan Three Town will face Shandong Taishan in the Chinese Super League and POSCO in the AFC Champions League on the road. It is the first time for Wuhan Sanzhen to play two consecutive away matches on two fronts. As head coach Gao Mianmian said, this will test the team's will quality: "How to achieve the expected results in the face of adversity will be a problem that the players and I must actively face and solve in the coming week!"
Today, Wuhan Sanzhen arrived in Jinan to prepare for the 27th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) away match with Shandong Taishan at 7:35pm on the 29th. For Wuhan Sanzhen, who is now ranked seventh in the league, this match with Shandong Taishan is indispensable to achieve the goal of "keeping six and fighting for three" in the season. We all know we can't afford to lose, but Wuhan Sanzhen is a bit "tired" after the previous test of the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League double fronts. On the one hand, the main lineup is injured to different degrees because of the AFC Champions League against Urawa Red Diamonds, such as how to go beyond and Park Chi-soo; on the other hand, after nearly a season of fighting, the players are in the fatigue state at the end of the season, how to recover the team.
As can be seen from the last round of the Chinese Super League home game against Cangzhou Lions, with an untidy squad, Gao Mian chose a pragmatic defensive counterattacking tactic, handing over possession of the ball to the opponent and focusing on switching from defense to offense with high efficiency. It can be said that this tactic is almost successful. However, the team's problems in defending against set-pieces were exposed in the game and deserve to be solved by Gao Mian. In this round, we will challenge Shandong Taishan on the road. Facing this team which has advantages in set piece, how Wuhan Sanzhen can solve the problem of air defense or decide the trend of winning or losing the game.
After the highlight of the Chinese Super League clash with Shandong Taishan, Wuhan Sanzhen chose to stay in Jinan to continue training instead of returning to Wuhan, where the team will travel to South Korea on October 1 to begin their first AFC Champions League away trip. As can be seen from the K-League table, AFC Champions League rivals Pohang Steelers have not lost in their last 11 matches, both in the K-League and the AFC Champions League. The last loss dates back to July 8 at home to Ulsan Hyundai K-League leaders. From that perspective, this road trip to South Korea has not been easy. Perhaps the principle of this AFC Champions League road trip for Gao Qiangmian is to be pragmatic, pragmatic, pragmatic.
