On September 17, Shanghai Shenhua defeated POSCO 4-1 in the first round of the AFC Elite League. Media personality Lu Yang reported that POSCO's head coach Park Tae-ha summarized the reasons for his team's loss and pointed out that the Chinese Super League still needs further improvement.
Summarizing the game
Park Tae-ha: After conceding the goal, the team's formation was scattered because it was the first time that three center backs worked together in the same game, which was the biggest problem. Many of the players were playing in a major tournament like the AFC Champions League for the first time, and their performance on the field was not as good as it could have been due to nervousness.
Compared to today's Super League teams, the level of the Super League six or seven years ago when he was coaching
Park Tae-ha said there is still room for improvement in the Chinese Super League. Compared to Yanbian Fude, the team I coached, Shenhua does have more good players. However, the overall level of the Chinese Super League still needs to be improved in terms of tactics and technology.
