On February 17th, Kawasaki Striker will welcome the challenge of Kobe Victory ship, followed by three days later, the team will return home to meet the challenge of Shandong Taishan. Three matches in just one week will undoubtedly be a tough test for Kawasaki head coach Oniki. The two key battles will be a great test of the team's physical and mental strength. In contrast, Shandong Taishan had a week's rest and were able to fully recover. Away from home, the tactical arrangement is secondary, but the results of the winter "devil training" will be the key to victory or defeat.
Shandong Taishan only need to get a goal, can shake hands with the opponent in two rounds of regular time to achieve the set goal. The ace in Choi Kang-hee's hand is about to make his debut. Absent due to injury, Bi Jinhao will return in the second round, and the performance of the new Peng Xinli and Gao Junyi, undoubtedly bring pressure to Bi Jinhao. Whether or not Choi Kang-hee's position, can maintain the luster, depends largely on the performance of these players.
In the first round of matches, Shandong Taishan was unlucky, the backline players were in poor condition and lacked tacit understanding, and the opponent's goalkeeper also performed well. However, the performance in the first round of matches has definitely given the team more confidence. Those players who have not yet appeared, such as Bi Jinhao, Xie Wenneng, Delgado, etc., are expected to be key players in the next round. Choi Kang-hee did not stick to defense and chose the attacking route in the away match. By paying attention to set-pieces and opponent's passes, the team managed to contain the opponent's offensive advantage, and Shandong Taishan is expected to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
