With the end of the International Match Day, the Premier League is about to return to everyone's attention.
In the new round of Chinese Super League matches, there are many noteworthy wars in the spotlight, such as Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Port, who have just changed their coaches, and this war between Beijing and Shanghai must attract the attention of many fans and media. Recently, Shandong Taishan and Changchun Yatai, known as Big Dark Horse and Lennardo, the active confrontation between the two teams will also attract the attention of discussion.
How to face the challenge of Changchun Yatai? Choi Kang-hee hesitated to give his answer, recognizing that the opponent is a very strong team, their performance is obvious, the team has a lot of good players, we have prepared accordingly. However, for the team, in addition to the upcoming Changchun Yatai, and later Shanghai Port, are very difficult opponents, although the game must be played one game at a time, but the overall arrangement still needs to be planned in an integrated manner.
As you can see, Cui Kangxi's statement is still very cautious. It makes sense, after all, one is fifth in the league and the other is the leader, better than Shandong Taishan in both performance and ranking. Cui Kangxi has been unbeaten since taking over at Taishan midway through the season, and the pressure must have doubled against such a formidable opponent.
What's more helpless is the team's several foreigners, only Cressan and Moises can play. Facing Changchun Yatai, we can only rely on the tacit cooperation of these two foreigners (Fellaini accumulated 4 yellow cards and was automatically suspended for one match) to create more threats in front of the field. In addition, the team will rely on the form of domestic players to win or lose. Facing Shanghai Harbor, although Fellaini can play, how can the three foreigners resist Shanghai Harbor who are in excellent form and are at the top of their game, both internally and externally? If you want to continue to perform well, you need Choi Kang-hee and his coaching team to think more about countermeasures.
Liu Yang, Wang Dalei, Chen Pu, Liu Binbin and Sun Guowen have returned to the team. In the base training, Choi Kang-hee did not arrange high-intensity training like before, mainly jogging recovery, simple passing and group confrontation training. Choi Kang-hee himself and several members of the coaching team are discussing the relevant countermeasures, and from time to time, told several midfielders and backfield players, do not see how to deal with the good attacks of the two opponents, which will be one of Choi Kang-hee's focus.
However, now there is another good news for Shandong Taishan: both games are home games. With the blessing of the home fans, it will almost give the team a greater power blessing. Because both opponents are ranked first compared to Taishan, as long as Taishan has a good record of cheering fans, then it can not only drag the opponents, but also further improve their ranking and boost morale!
For Shandong Taishan and Changchun Yatai, there is another question that fans are very concerned about, that is, will Leonardo, Yatai's top scorer and the first scorer in the Chinese Super League, be able to play?
The certainty is: it can't!
Before the season, as a foreign player of Shandong Taishan, Lennardo was loaned to Changchun Yatai. Unexpectedly, it was such a player who was abandoned by Taishan team that was revitalized in Changchun Yatai, helping the team always stay in the first group. Moreover, his outstanding performance also enriches the cooperation routines of Yatai's front field, and his attacking power is excellent in the league. Many fans said bluntly: Lennardo's excellent performance has saved Changchun Yatai. After all, after the end of last season, the team several meritorious foreign aid left the team, the team in the beginning of the season before the start of no clear goal. Lennardo brought the team back to the ranks of the strongest teams, and also saved head coach Chen Yang's position.
Just two days ago, the German Transfer announced the latest value of players in the Premier League, and surprisingly, Lennardo became the player with the biggest increase in the whole league, soaring from more than 1 million euros a season ago to more than 3 million euros! The spike in value also confirms his power; after all, great performances should equate to his own value.
However, the most embarrassing at the moment is Shandong Taishan. I didn't expect Lennardo to be so good. In fact, Lennardo is pretty good. Just like Ulsan Hyundai, who was previously loaned to the K-League, Lennardo is still the No. 2 absolute attacker in this strong team, helping the team win the K-League title years later. There's just no place for him in Shandong Taishan. Before the season started, for example, Cressan, Moises, Son Jungho, Fellaini, and Jadson all had their stuff together. Who can Lennardo replace?
It's just that so far, it's not what it used to be. Shandong Taishan's offense is average and the team's form is not as strong as last season. On the other hand, Lennardo's Changchun Yatai can really be said to be a moment in time. Although Lennardo can't play, he will still come to Jinan with the team. I wonder if the meeting between the two sides will be awkward.
