In this fierce battle, Choi Kang-hee's coaching talent was severely tested. His training style was too harsh, and players such as Liu Binbin and Zeka retired due to non-combat factors, which greatly reduced the team's fighting strength. Especially when a speedy player like Bi Jinhao is pitted against a fast striker, his disadvantage is emphasized.
As the game progressed, Shenhua gradually controlled the rhythm of the field. Slutsky decided to replace Han Chao and Xu Haoyang to further strengthen the attacking line. Taishan's defense was full of holes, Bi Jinhao became the laughing stock of the opponents frequently, and Xu Haoyang's long-distance shot made Taishan even worse.
Choi Kang-hee, who has been a headache for Taishan, is now in a hole of his own digging. The addition of Bi Jinhao was intended to improve the team's aerial advantage, but failed to play the expected role.
Towards the end of the match, Choi Kang-hee had no choice but to adjust his lineup, bringing in Jadson as a center forward and Bijinho as a center back. However, it was clear that such changes could not reverse the situation, and Taishan lost 0-3. The loss widened the distance between Taishan and the title contenders, making the journey to the championship this season increasingly difficult.
Choi Kang-hee needs to take the main responsibility for Taishan's 0-3 defeat. First of all, he needs to be more rational in his use of personnel, not just based on personal preference or past experience. Secondly, he should formulate tactics and lineups based on players' characteristics and opponents' situations.
Taishan's loss was not only due to Choi Kang-hee's improper use of personnel, but also exposed the team's overall problems. Cui Kangxi needs to be objective in his use of personnel, to avoid personal preference or experience dominated decision-making.
In addition, he should adjust the team's training intensity, reduce non-combat attrition. If Choi Kang-hee is still stubborn, do not adjust the thinking and training methods in time, I am afraid that will fall into a deeper dilemma. At that time, the Korean coach's dismissal may be inevitable...
