Shandong Taishan team prepares for end-of-season tournament
Shandong Taishan's training has resumed and the end of the season is just around the corner, this is the last break of the season. With a busy schedule ahead, the team will need to build up their strength during this break. Liu Binbin has returned from his recovery, bringing new tactical options for Choi Kang-hee, while Sun Guowen, who was rumored to be on loan to Dalian, showed up at training, putting the rumors to rest. Although the qualification for the AFC Champions League is out of reach, the team still needs to go all out in the battle for honor.
Taishan team winger generation, Wu Xinghan and Liu Binbin is a landmark character, over the years to sit in the main force, the national team regulars. Speed and stamina, both offense and defense can be competent. Former coach very love, but Wu Xinghan absent this season, Liu Binbin in Cui Kangxi under the banner of the more mature, speed does not reduce, mind soccer to the next level.
Chen Pu's form is in the doldrums, and Kressan's threat of playing on the wing is reduced. Liu Binbin return, Cressan is expected to move to the center, the threat multiplied. Sun Guowen joined the Taishan team, poor performance in the early season, if not improved, difficult to return to the national team. Choi Kang-hee did not include him in the list of the recent two matches, Dalian people period of poor performance has a deep impact.
Liu Yang, who plays as the main left back, is exhausted from back-to-back matches, with Asian Games and national team fixtures on top of club matches. With the league, AFC Champions League and FA Cup coming up one after the other, Choi Kang-hee will be rotating. It was rumored that he would return to Dalian on loan next season, but he is now back in training and will decide whether to stay or not at the end of the season.
Sun Guowen should capitalize on the off-season and intensify his training in an effort to gain a foothold in the Taishan team. After the off-season, Taishan team faces hard battles with Changchun Yatai, South Korea's AFC Champions League and Shanghai Port's Chinese Super League, and Choi Kang-hee will face three consecutive lineup rotations. Despite the last round of home defeat against Japan's Yokohama Mariners, the initiative to promote has been lost.
The Taishan team is fighting for honor. Among the top four teams in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Harbor stopped, and Zhejiang Energy and Wuhan Sanzhen lost consecutively, with little hope of advancing to the next level. Taishan, as the representative of the Chinese Super League, needs to fight for its own glory, and also for the Chinese Super League's name.
