A 3-3 away draw, Choi Kang-hee's first performance at Taishan was slightly flawed, but his tactical adjustments have begun to bear fruit. Early in the game, Taishan was once 0-2 down, but seemed to be performing the "three boring stick" of the turnaround script. Fellaini's switch activated the team's offense, Barton and Chen Pu's international player status, plus Liao Lixiang, Wang Qiuming, tomorrow's national team familiar faces, so that the stands of Yankovic have a heartfelt smile.
The new season of Shandong Taishan team suffered a lot of challenges. The absence of Jin Jingdao and Wu Xinghan, and the unexpected situation of Hao Wei and Sun Junhao made the first 7 rounds of matches of Taishan team only achieved 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses. Although Fellaini scored goals, he failed to withstand the onslaught of strong teams such as Shenhua and Seaport. However, after Choi Kang-hee took over the baton, he made it clear that the goal of the season is the top three, and the long-term goal is the dream of the championship.
On the starting list, Choi Kang-hee retained most of the starters, with only partial positional adjustments. Four foreigners, Crezan, Fellaini, Jadson and Moises, led the way, with Liao Lixiang partnering in midfield and Sun Guowen as a winger. On the side of Jinmen Tigers, Andujar is out due to injury, Beric and Rosa start, Barton, Wang Qiuming and Tian Yinong, and Merida comes in.
In the first half, Taishan started slowly, with the Jinmen Tigers applying pressure on the home side, with Barton and Wang Qiuming scoring two goals in 12 minutes. But Choi Kang-hee's team did not panic, sticking to their tactics, Fellaini's position in front of the team to make the attack more fluid, Taishan team half-time reversal, Moises passes the ball accurately, Liao Lixiang and Chen Pu broke the goal.
In the second half, Jadson's mistake in clearing the ball led to an oolong, and Choi Kang-hee's Taishan debut ended in failure. But throughout the game, the changes brought by Cui Kangxi were obvious. Yang Kovic, the manager of the national football team, was also observing the players from the stands. Barton, Chen Pu, Liao Lixiang, and Wang Qiuming all scored goals, and Yang Kovic's smile was an affirmation of their efforts.
Looking ahead, Taishan will face Shenzhen, Qingdao Sea Cowboys and Dalian in turn after consecutive away games. If Cui Kangxi can quickly rally the team, Taishan is expected to seize the opportunity to catch up with the leading group.
