Choi Kang-hee revealed in the post-match conference that he has full confidence in the foreigners. He was convinced that the victory stemmed more from the pressure of the local midfielders, which was the key to the win.
In Taishan's 4231 formation, Liao Lixiang and Huang Zhengyu join hands as the double midfielders, while Li Yuan skillfully connects the attack and defense in the middle. All three players joined either this season or last season via free transfers. Liao Lixiang is gradually finding his form after last season's challenges. Although he missed a penalty in the game, it just proved that he has earned Choi Kang-hee's trust and was given the chance to take the penalty.
They were solid on the pitch but also made subtle adjustments at the back. Lee Won-yi showed superb technique and precise passing, and his outstanding performance even made him one of the best players of the match. On the contrary, Hwang Jung-woo's two steals and a key defense were as shocking as thunder despite his slightly flat performance.
Throughout the game, Huang Zhengyu was mainly responsible for organizing the attack in the midfield, instead of the long-distance shooting in the past. In the 11th minute, Chen Pu completed a very threatening shot on goal, thanks to Huang Zhengyu's excellent play on the steal. Guoan foreign center back Ngaardew skipped past Huang Zhengyu with the ball, but his eyes and feet quickly completed the steal and finished the pass before the opponent flew in. In the 17th minute, Huang Zhengyu managed to rob Ngadeu at a disadvantage, and although the pass did not directly form a shot, it was converted into a free kick for Liao Lixiang, which was also his personal first goal of the season.
In the 37th minute, Guoan launched a very threatening counterattack, Zheng Zheng lost his defensive position after participating in the attack, and Huang Zhengyu quickly returned to the defense, forcing Wang Ziming, who was carrying the ball, to stagnate. In the end, Guoan's counter-attack ended in failure, and Huang Zhengyu became a credit to Taishan's successful defense. In the post-match conference, Choi Kang-hee spoke highly of Lee Won-yi's performance, emphasizing that the midfielder's pressure and the winger's counter-attack were the keys to victory.
Although Choi Kang-hee did not single out Hwang Jung-woo, he had been questioned by fans during the waiver policy earlier this season. Now, he plays an important role in Choi Kang-hee's lineup. In this game, Hwang Jung-woo scored the fourth most points, and his excellent performance as a substitute bodes well for reinvigorating the team and creating higher scores.
