In the Chinese Super League, two forces are fiercely collision, one is sitting undefeated city of the tigers of Tianjin, they are like a tiger after the metamorphosis of the tiger, from the edge of the relegation of the once jumped into a strong rival for the title, its performance is a bright spot; the other is the early season after the trough after the comeback of the Taishan team in the lead of Choi Kang-hee, they are now also undefeated for ten rounds, to retake the forefront of the standings, only two points behind the third place! Only two points behind the third place, there is a great momentum in the next round to realize the trend of transcendence. Despite the improvement, the Taishan team is not without shortcomings, the staffing has never been complete, and the last round was the loss of the top scorer Cressan.
Facing strong opponents, Taishan can take advantage of Fellaini, Lennardo and even Jadson on set-pieces, but their next opponents, Shenhua, are not idle, having returned to second place from the brink of relegation last year, with only three points separating them from the leaders, and harboring a strong desire to win the title, from coaches to players. Therefore, even though Taishan will be playing at home in the 16th round, it will be no less difficult to beat Shenhua than it was in the first round, when Shenhua beat Taishan at home by one goal.
Facing such a strong opponent, Choi Kang-hee's coaching team not only has to look deep into the tactics, but also look forward to the execution of the players. To put it more bluntly, they are looking forward to the return of their starters. According to sources close to the situation, 27-year-old Cressan returned to the team after seven days to join the joint training after a two-round break. This shows the importance CSL Silver Boots place on their next match, which they must not lose to Shenhua. In addition, Zheng Zheng, Liu Yang and Wang Tong, who were absent due to injuries, also appeared at the training site. The return of the four Taishan generals has boosted Cui Kangxi's confidence.
Of course, along with the return of injured players, Taishan also had good news. The suspension of Shenhua striker Malelei has allowed Taishan to improve their attacking power, while the opponent's offensive end has declined. Both internal and external factors increase the possibility of Taishan winning. However, Shenhua only conceded 9 goals in the first 15 rounds of matches, which is the strongest defensive team in the Chinese Super League, and it will not be easy for Taishan to break through the opponent's defense.
In addition, nine days to play three consecutive games, Taishan team's physical distribution will also be tested. But in the face of the upcoming key battle, Choi Kang-hee has no way back, if you want to return to the third place, the goal is only one: all three points.
