After taking over Shandong Taishan, veteran coach Choi Kang-hee led his team to 4 matches, in which they won 3 times in a row and the opponents didn't score once. Now, he has collected three wins and one draw. He has scored 10 points in four matches. As you know, Taishan scored only 7 points in their first 7 games and jumped from the relegation zone to 5th place. Choi Kang-hee is leading Taishan to gradually get on the right track.
Seeing Taishan's recent great performance, some fans started to imagine the team's future. They think Taishan is fully capable of competing with Harbor and Chengdu Rongcheng for the championship. But don't let the victory go to your head, the current situation of Taishan team is still not optimistic. First of all, there is no clear conclusion on the verdict of Hao Wei and Jin Jingdao. Once it is characterized as the club's behavior, Taishan team will face a penalty of at least a point deduction. Therefore, no matter what the outside world says, getting enough points is the top priority. Secondly, almost all the referees are watching Taishan and when you make a mistake, they are in trouble.
It is also important to note that it is the Taishan team's own problem that they have never solved the problem of lack of offense. Especially during Moises' absence due to injury, despite Li Yuanyi and Huang Zhengyu's good performances, their attacking attributes were weaker, so Cressan had to retreat and take the ball, but this also weakened Cressan's threat on the attacking end. This problem may be alleviated with the return of Mo next, but there is still a lack of a player in the midfield and up front who has a strong ability to get the ball out and some scoring ability.
Then the summer window is about to open and Choi Kang-hee is bound to tweak his lineup. Of those, Son Jungho and Jadson have returned to Brazil, and Delgado may get more chances. Another quota of foreigners will also be placed in the center forward. The outsiders have found a number of players for the Taishan team. Mexican international Pineda and free agent Ronaldo have been linked to them. However, according to my observation, basically none of the foreign players that have popped up so far are reliable. However, Taesan will definitely make reinforcements during the summer transfer window. Members of the current South Korean national team or foreigners playing in the Korean league will be the focus of Choi Kang-hee.
