The latest disclosure of the soccer newspaper, Shandong Taishan team is about to face the strength of Yatai and seaport teams in the next showdown. It is worth mentioning that Taishan's home field advantage should not be underestimated.
After the first phase of the Chinese Super League, Taishan assembled on June 14, fully engaged in physical training and technical and tactical integration, and honed the team through a series of internal confrontation matches.On June 24, Taishan beat Dongguan Guanlian 6-1 in the AFC Cup, and will challenge Meizhou Hakka on the road immediately after.
Taishan's excellent performance in the AFC Cup was partly due to the team's deep bench thickness, and partly due to the fact that the Chinese Super League team was able to fully utilize the strength of its foreign players against the Chinese League One team. The efficient training during the break also added to the team's confidence. After the match, manager Choi Kang-hee spoke highly of 22-year-old Xie Wenneng and 19-year-old U Lang. In addition to Taishan's pursuit of season results, the growth of young players is also worth looking forward to.
With the AFC Cup behind them, the Taishan team is now preparing for the Chinese Super League, where they will host Changchun Yatai on the 29th, and then welcome the challenge of Shanghai Harbor on the 3rd of July. Although both teams are ranked higher than Taishan, Cui Kangxi's arrival has resulted in 3 wins and 2 draws, which has boosted confidence and morale. The hard training of the players during the break has also added to their confidence for the upcoming tough battles.
Against Ateneo, Taishan's foreign lineup will be led mainly by Cressan and Moises. In order to win, the local players need to take more responsibility. Fellaini is expected to play in the Harbor game, alongside Kressan and Moises. However, against the full-strength Harbor team, Taishan still has shortcomings. This matchup will undoubtedly be the most challenging battle of the season for Taishan.
Taishan's home field advantage cannot be ignored, and the enthusiastic support of the fans has complemented the team's high morale. If we can achieve satisfactory results in the next two games, Cui Kangxi's coaching career will be even more brilliant, and Taishan is expected to rebound quickly.
