Tarzan's Hiring Strategy Controversy and Prospect Analysis
Taishan's recent decline in form, Cui Kangxi's strategy, especially the neglect of young players and over-reliance on veterans, has become one of the key factors in the team's poor performance. Especially after Wang Dalei's injury, Cui Kangxi still chose Liu Shibo to start, a move that aroused the discontent of many Taishan fans.
Young goalkeeper Yu Jinyong, who has great potential in the Taishan team, does not seem to be getting the opportunities he deserves, which is disappointing to many fans. Although Liu Shibo has a lot of experience in the Chinese Super League, as a 27-year-old player, he is saturated with skills and abilities.
In contrast, Kim Yong may be at risk of conceding goals, but his appearance will be crucial to the long-term development of the goalkeeper position in the Taishan team. Choosing young players may pose a short-term risk, but in the long run, it is a necessary part of the team's growth.
Taishan's recent poor performance has raised concerns about Choi Kang-hee's contract with the club. Some Taishan fan bloggers have pointed out that Chinese Super League coaching contracts usually contain a clause that allows for the termination of a coach's contract after seven consecutive rounds of failure to win, but the specifics of the contract will depend on the decision of the club's senior management. Last year, Choi Kang-hee led the Taishan team out of the doldrums, won the second league, the club has a lot of trust in him, the possibility of dismissal is not great.
Nonetheless, Choi Kang-hee, as the manager of a Chinese Super League team, should be aware that soccer is a team sport that requires constant adaptation and adjustment. In terms of hiring strategy, he should be more open and flexible, giving more opportunities to young players. Only in this way can the team develop healthily.
It is worth mentioning that Taishan drew with Changchun Yatai in their last match, which was their 3rd draw in the last 4 rounds of matches. Currently, Taishan has 30 points, 12 points behind league leader Shanghai Seaport, and the prospect of winning the title this season is worrying.
