As Shandong Taishan resumes their preparations, the season is winding down and this will be their last break of the season. However, they are about to embark on an intensive fixture schedule, so it is vital for them to regain their fitness during the break. It is worth mentioning that Liu Binbin's comeback has brought rich tactical options for coach Choi Kang-hee. Rumors that Sun Guowen might be loaned to Dalian Ren were also broken by his appearance on the training ground. Despite the team's inability to compete for the AFC Champions League qualification, their determination to fight for honor never wavered.
Shandong Taishan has always been known for its wingers, and Wu Xinghan and Liu Binbin are the best of them. They have been the team's starters for a long time and have been selected for the national team many times. They not only have amazing speed, but also outstanding stamina, and can play well in both offense and defense. The former coach favored them, but Wu Xinghan failed to make his debut this season due to personal reasons. And Liu Binbin after Cui Kangxi coaching, not only the speed does not reduce, but also with wisdom soccer interpretation of the combination of speed and wisdom.
At present, Chen Pu's form is low, and Kressan switches to play on the side, which poses a certain impact on the team's offense. After Liu Binbin's return, Cressan is expected to switch to center, closer to the goal, and enhance the threat. The team is fully engaged in training, Sun Guowen also returned to the team. Despite his ups and downs this season, Sun will have to improve his form if he wants to return to the national team. However, Choi Kang-hee did not name him for the next two matches due to his poor performances for the Dalianese.
Liu Yang, as the team's main left back, has been playing intensively in recent tournaments, in addition to club matches, but also participated in the Asian Games and national team matches, which can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted. Shandong Taishan team is about to usher in the league, the Asian Championship and the FA Cup of the multi-front war, Cui Kangxi coach will certainly be lineup rotation. Previously, there was news that Liu Yang may be rented back to Dalian next season, but he has returned to the team's training, indicating that the team has not yet made a final decision.
Sun Guowen should take advantage of this rare break and train hard to get his footing with Shandong Taishan. This is a win-win situation for both the team and the player. At the end of the season, Shandong Taishan will first face Changchun Yatai, then go to South Korea to participate in the AFC Champions League, and then return to the Chinese Super League to face Shanghai Port. Despite the team's defeat at home to Japan's Yokohama Mariners in the last round, the initiative to advance is no longer in their own hands.
Nonetheless, Shandong Taishan will still be aiming for honors in the fierce competition. Among the top four teams in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Harbour Team is no longer in the main round, while Zhejiang and Wuhan Sanzhen Team have lost consecutively and have little hope of advancing. Shandong Taishan, as the representative of the Chinese Super League, not only wants to make a name for itself, but also wants to fight for the glory of the Chinese Super League.
