With Shanghai Harbour firmly at the top of the Chinese Super League, what would be the last sight they would want to witness? I sincerely don't want Shandong Taishan to continue their winning streak and make the leap. It may seem selfish, but it's human nature.
After all, I myself have been in poor form recently, and I'm not fully confident in the Changchun Yatai game. If Shandong Taishan continues to win, the points gap between the two sides will be further narrowed, and the originally stable Shanghai Seaport's path to the championship will also add more uncertainty. Especially in the last few rounds, Shanghai Seaport and Shandong Taishan still have the possibility of direct confrontation, so Shanghai naturally do not want to narrow the gap before the confrontation.
After a short break, the flames of the Chinese Super League will be reignited! There are many key battles in this round, and the winners and losers will probably affect the final champion's belonging. Among them, Shandong Taishan and Qingdao Hainiu are in the spotlight and will be broadcast live on CCTV.
In the pre-match press conference, Cui Kangxi answered questions in detail about the preparation and arrangements for the team during the break, and made a domineering declaration. For the upcoming "Qilu derby", Cui Kangxi unabashedly instructed the team to play well at home. This is a key battle, the team not only to win, but also to do better. In addition, in addition to Liu Binbin, the team's defense core Jia Desong is also concerned about the injury situation.
For Shandong Taishan, Jadason's timely comeback was crucial. His defense is solid and his partnership with Zheng Zheng is reassuring. Jadason is usually responsible for keeping an eye on the opponent's front line, but when the team is on the attack, he also inserts himself in time, using his height to create chances for the team, increasing the number of attacking points and threatening the opponent's goal.
In this way, Taishan team in both offense and defense are guaranteed to win the Qilu derby. But this is exactly what Shanghai Seaport doesn't want to see. However, before considering the opponent, Shanghai Seaport must make sure to get all three points from Changchun Yatai.
In addition, Choi Kang-hee stayed calm about the six intensive matches in the next 18 days, saying bluntly that the team is well prepared and the interval has made targeted arrangements to ensure that they won't be too passive in the grueling multi-line fixtures. The depth of the lineup is the key to the team's success. Choi Kang-hee revealed that the team has developed two or three starters in each position to ensure that the team to deal with the intensive schedule.
Mr. Yuan, a famous soccer player, expressed envy for Cui Kangxi's confidence. He bluntly stated that he will participate in the domestic competition and hoped that Cui Kangxi can lead Shandong Taishan to prove themselves in the AFC Championship and win honor for Chinese soccer. In recent years, the club has experienced many ups and downs in the AFC Champions League, but this season, the AFC Champions League hoped that Shanghai Harbor and Wuhan Three Town would make a mark, however, Shanghai even lost the play-off qualification, and Wuhan Three Town was in a low state of form after Stancourt's departure and the loss of his commanders and sponsors.
So, let's hope that the experienced Choi Kang-hee can achieve good results on multiple fronts. It would be great if he can get out of the group in the AFC Champions League or even reach the semi-finals. In addition to the above expectations, the CFA has also called on Shandong Taishan to adjust one or two matches in order to reduce the pressure from the intensive schedule, which is not good for the players' health and concentration. Of course, the CFA is still in a state of confusion, and it is difficult to reach a consensus on the schedule adjustment.
