In this season's Chinese Super League, Shanghai and Shandong fought a fierce battle and finally shook hands to make peace, but the winner has long been revealed in the dark current. The heroics of Wu Lei and Oscar won Shanghai the honor of winning the Chinese Super League title, not only lighting up the night sky on the Bund, but also making their business layout widely praised by the industry. For an up-and-coming team, winning two Chinese Super League titles in seven years is not easy, especially in the midst of the green chaos to maintain the strength is even more precious.
The performance of the runner-up Shandong Taishan is also commendable. The arrival of Korean coach Choi Kang-hee was like a breeze, blowing the team's morale, and the overall performance was brand new. The team was transformed from what it was at the beginning of the season to what it is today. All of this is due to the concerted efforts of the team members. Although the runner-up failed to win the cup, for the team, this is already a solid step towards success. Shandong fans expressed their understanding and support for the team and spoke highly of the players.
Choi Kang-hee made it clear that the journey of the Taishan team is not over this season. The team will go all out in the upcoming final round of the Chinese Super League showdown. After the match, the burden of the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup is still on their shoulders. In the AFC Champions League, the Shandong team, with its strong strength, is expected to go farther, which is also their dream goal. The desire of Shandong fans to "win the championship" will motivate the players to go forward, even if the road is difficult.
The FA Cup, a familiar battleground for them, has advanced to the final this season and is expected to win again. If they can achieve good results in the Asian Championship and the FA Cup, then this season is undoubtedly a success for the Shandong team. This is also the fans' trust and support for Cui Kangxi and the whole team.
However, the mountain rain is full of wind. Next season, Shandong will face a tough challenge. After all, the team's core player, Fellaini, has announced his departure, and the coaching staff and players must think deeply about finding the core strength to rebuild the team. This is not only a farewell to the star player, but also a complete revamp of the strategy. With the support of taller players, Shandong has created opportunities, but how to deal with new challenges has become a pressing issue for the team.
Should we continue with our current tactics and look for a new Fellaini to fill the void? Or another way to completely revolutionize the tactical system? This choice will determine the fate of Shandong's future.
