Although Shandong Taishan failed to advance to the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League, the result was still bearable. However, the unexpected loss of a goal with the advantage of an extra man on the field and the eventual 0-1 loss was ultimately hard to swallow. In particular, Choi Kang-hee's tactical adjustments were quickly followed by the loss of the ball, and Wu Xinghan's poor performance provoked the ire of the netizens. I can't help but ask: why has this player, whose form is deteriorating and whose moral issues are frequent, become a laughing stock in the Taishan team time and again? Rumor has it that Wu Xinghan was only able to stay in the team by relying on his network of connections, and for Shandong Taishan, Cui Kangxi's powerlessness is becoming more and more obvious. It seems that Cui Kangxi's coaching career may also have to face a turning point. Last year, Wu Xinghan's scandals are endless. First, there was the extramarital affair scandal, and then he was involved in the fake ball gambling fiasco, and his wife was also exposed as a dual citizen. Under the pressure of public opinion, he was loaned to Nanjing City in China's first division and performed mediocrely. But what is puzzling is that he quietly returned to Taishan at the beginning of the season, and the reason behind it is intriguing. According to media reports, Wu Xinghan's wife and family have a complicated background. At the beginning of the season, his family was able to stay at Taishan only by their relationship. At first, Cui Kangxi did not agree, but he eventually chose to introduce.
As the saying goes, "Family shame is not for the eyes of the beholder." Wu Xinghan made two appearances in the AFC Champions League, both of which resulted in catastrophic performances that led to Taishan conceding goals. Once was a stopping error, for the opponent to win a corner kick; the other is a substitute after the face of the Yokohama Mariners shot, Wu Xinghan to take "eye defense", so that the opponents easy to break the door. Although his teammates tried their best in the game, Wu Xinghan's defense was unusually "gentle" and seemed to encourage the opponent to score. Although the Taishan team did not put the blame on Wu Xinghan, but his presence is undoubtedly questionable. So, will Choi Kang-hee give Wu Xinghan another chance? Dismissing him might be the wisest choice.
