The soccer field is changing, a loss may not be able to fully judge the real strength of a team. Shandong Taishan exposed a lot of deficiencies in this matchup, while Shanghai Shenhua keenly grasped three key points. Firstly, Taishan's backline is aging badly, with key players missing out due to injuries. Tong Lei's offside error directly led to the first goal lost, Liu Yang's defense error also gave the opposing foreign aid breakthrough opportunity. Liu Yang whole year as a day of high intensity consumption, do not make mistakes is simply a miracle.
Secondly, the team's back position is empty. This season, Taishan failed to bring in strong foreign aid to fill the gap, resulting in a complete loss of control in the midfield. Faced with Shenhua's solid back line, Taishan team seems to be unable to do anything, the other side of the foreign aid in the Taishan team's defense line like no one else's. The ball has become easy to break through, no barrier to rely on in front of the defense line. It was easy to break through with the ball, and there was no barrier to rely on in front of the defense.
Further, Kressan on the front line looked isolated. With Kaza not playing as well as he should, Klassan had to keep dropping back to get the ball, and even return to the defense occasionally. In this way, whether Crezan is a man or a god, one can't help but wonder.
This matchup truly maps the current situation of the two teams. Taishan's problems are complicated by both internal conflicts and external pressures. Shenhua, on the other hand, is a strong team with a strong morale and three consecutive victories to show their championship appearance. However, the aftermath of the AFC Champions League can't be ignored, as the players are physically and mentally exhausted, injured and sick, and the slump is expected to continue for some time.
