Since taking over the coaching reins at Shandong Taishan, Coach Choi Kang-hee has led the team to 4 matches with a great record, winning 3 consecutive matches and shutting out the opponents. So far, he has won three and drawn one, with a total of 10 goals. It's worth noting that Taishan, after accumulating only seven points in the first seven rounds of the tournament, has rebounded from the relegation zone to fifth place, and Choi Kang-hee is steadily bringing the team to the right track.
With Taishan's recent impressive performance, some fans are looking forward to a bright future for the team, and some even believe that Taishan is expected to compete with Seaport and Chengdu Rongcheng for the championship. However, the joy of victory should not overshadow the reality that Taishan is still in a tough situation. On the one hand, the verdicts of players such as Hao Wei and Jin Jingdao have not yet been finalized, and the team will face at least a points deduction in punishment once it is recognized as a club's act. Therefore, no matter how the outside world evaluates the team, securing points is the most urgent task for Taishan. On the other hand, the referee's attention to the Taishan team is extremely high, and any small mistake may put them in trouble. In addition, Taishan's own problems cannot be ignored. The team's long-standing problem of lack of offense has never been solved, especially during the absence of Moises due to injury, although Li Yuanyi and Huang Zhengyu performed well, their offensive ability was limited, which led to Cressan having to pull back to get the ball, thus weakening the threat of its offensive end. With the return of Lao Mo, this problem may be alleviated, but the midfield and front court still lack a player with strong passing and scoring ability. With the summer window approaching, Coach Choi Kang-hee will have to make changes to his lineup. With Son Jungho and Jadson having returned to Brazil, Delgado is expected to get more chances to play. Meanwhile, another foreigner slot will be placed in the center forward. The outside world for the Taishan team recommended a number of players, Mexican international Pineda and free agent Ronaldo are linked to the Taishan team. However, according to my observation, none of these foreign players exposed so far are trustworthy. However, Taishan will surely bring in new reinforcements in the summer transfer window. Members of the current Korean national team or foreigners from the Korean League will be the focus of Coach Choi Kang-hee.
