Shandong Taishan met Changchun Yatai in the season finale of the Chinese Super League. Although Yatai was the first to break through, Taishan did not get discouraged and launched a fierce counterattack. In the 67th minute, substitute Delgado equalized the score with a precise long-distance shot, and the 1-1 draw brought the season's championship journey to a successful conclusion.
In fact, Shandong Taishan had already locked up the league title in the 19th round, and in the next three rounds of matches, Taishan showed strong competitiveness against strong opponents. Looking back at the first round of the match, all three teams failed to beat Taishan, and the only loss was at the hands of Guangzhou. This also means that Taishan encountered almost no real challenges on their way to the championship.
As the era of "Golden Dollar Football" is fading away, Shandong Taishan is relying on a stable youth training system to rise gradually. Compared to the past, Taishan's victory this season no longer relies on luck, but real strength. In addition, the team is no longer the "child of the score", whether facing strong or weak teams, can maintain a stable performance. These changes are undoubtedly due to the efforts of the head coach Hao Wei and his team.
Looking ahead to the following three matches, Taishan fans expect the team to continue winning, even if they can't break the record of 13 consecutive wins, they still hope to create a new history. Of course, creating a record is only an external honor. If the team can double kill Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Seaport and Changchun Yatai in the remaining matches, it will be another sense of enjoyment for the fans.
However, the head coach Hao Wei has much more in mind than that. Not only did he want to win the game, but he also wanted to give the fans a satisfactory answer when they lost. As a result, he adopted a solid strategy for the remaining matches, allowing young players to get a workout and securing the team's undefeated record. From the draws with Guoan and Seaport to the handshake with Yatai, Taishan's overall performance was remarkable despite the close calls. These victories not only proved the strength of the team, but also showed how Taishan adjusted their mentality when they fell behind and continued to fight.
In 22 rounds of matches this season, Shandong Taishan achieved 15 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, the championship is full of color. Hao Wei and his disciples obviously will not be satisfied with this, the captain Zheng Zheng said: "I hope to continue the good form, the FA Cup final to play well." Indeed, for the upcoming F.A.C.A. Cup final, they are ready to go.
Just five days later, on January 9, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. at the Phoenix Hill Stadium in Chengdu, we look forward to Shandong Taishan standing on the championship podium once again!
