In addition, Coach Choi Kang-hee's coaching style was exposed during the match. His harsh training style caused players such as Liu Binbin and Zeca to withdraw for non-combat reasons, weakening the team's fighting strength. Especially when facing the slow Bi Jinhao against the highly skilled strikers, it certainly became a problem for him.
As the game progressed, Shenhua gradually gained the upper hand on the field. Slutsky's decisive substitutions of Han Chao and Xu Haoyang further strengthened Shenhua's firepower in front of the goal. Taishan's defense was full of holes, Bi Jinhao was repeatedly teased by the opponents on the defensive end, and Xu Haoyang's long-distance shot added to Taishan's woes.
Choi Kang-hee caused a lot of trouble for Taishan during his tenure at Shenhua, but now he is in a hole dug by himself. Bijinho was brought in with the intention of boosting the team's high points, but now he is unable to make an impact on the field.
Towards the end of the game, Choi Kang-hee had to adjust his tactics by playing Jadason as a center forward and Bijinho as a defender. However, this adjustment did not change the outcome of the game, and Taishan eventually lost by a score of 0-3. This loss makes the gap between Taishan and the title contenders more and more obvious, and the road to winning the title this season will be even more difficult.
Head coach Choi Kang-hee must take the main responsibility for Taishan's fiasco. Firstly, he needs to be more rational and objective in terms of hiring, and not make decisions based on personal preference or experience. Secondly, Choi Kang-hee should formulate tactics and lineups according to the players' characteristics and the opponent's situation.
Taishan's defeat was not only due to Choi Kang-hee's mistakes in his hiring strategy, but also due to the team's overall problems. As a head coach, Choi Kang-hee needs to be rational and objective in his use of personnel, and not rely on personal preference or experience to arrange the team.
At the same time, he also needs to adjust the intensity of training to reduce non-combat attrition. If the old Choi continues to be stubborn and does not adjust his thinking and training methods in a timely manner, I am afraid that the pit he dug will become deeper and deeper. At that time, the Korean coach's dismissal may be difficult to avoid...
