Whether you're a fan of Shandong Taishan or not, why not celebrate the 30th birthday of this historic Chinese soccer club? They are determined to build a 100-year club, a vision that deserves our respect! Thirty years old, for a man, is a year of emergence, while for Shandong Taishan, it is a key stage of maturity and development. At this historic moment, fans from all over the world have offered their enthusiasm and blessings to the Taishan soccer team, expecting them to move forward and write a more brilliant future!
Taishan showed their "enterprising" spirit, even after suffering a miscue in the first round of the Chinese Super League (CSL). The first round match ended in a 0-1 defeat against Shanghai Shenhua. Despite the unsatisfactory performance, Taishan suffered an injustice. According to reporter Yuan Ye, the Error Correction Team set up by Chinese Football Association (CFA) Vice President Gao Hongbo after he took office confirmed that Shenhua's handball in the Shanghai-Lu match was misjudged, and that the duty referee, Wang Zhe, will be suspended for part of the enforcement match. Of course, the result of the match could not be changed. Taishan have suffered repeated waves of refereeing problems in recent years.
The referee failed to award a penalty kick in the 67th minute of the match when Choi Lin took a handball in the penalty area.
Numerous Taishan fans were outraged, believing that referee Wang Zhe should not only be partially suspended, but also financially penalized. At that time, many Taishan players repeatedly pointed out the suspected handball to Wang Zhe, but Wang Zhe did not even bother to watch the replay. How can they still maintain confidence? In the context of anti-corruption in Chinese soccer, was Wang Zhe's mistake a lack of business or a blatant attempt to undermine the fairness of the game? If the battle for the Chinese Super League title comes down to a single point at the end of the day, won't the Taishan team end up disappointed again?
On April 21st at 19:35, Shandong Taishan will host Nantong Zhiyun. For Shandong Taishan, who previously lost in the 2023 Super Cup and the first round of the Chinese Super League, this fixture is imperative to win three points at home against newly-promoted Nantong Zhiyun. on April 18th, Wang Dalei updated the training video on his personal social media and wrote: "I can finally train with the team." From the training situation, Wang Dalei's physical condition has recovered and is expected to make a comeback against Nantong Zhiyun.
Hao Wei sent Han Rongze to start in the first game, but Han's performance did not meet expectations. Why not Liu Shibo, who played the whole season for Guangzhou last year? Is the introduction of internal reinforcements such as Li Yuanyi and Liu Shibo just to sit on the bench? This has become a big question mark for the Taishan team. Last year it was Li Guanxi, this year it is Han Rongze, Taishan's goalie position seems to have become a weakness? If you don't need Liu Shibo, why don't you just train 21-year-old Yu Jin Yong? Jin Yong is 2.01 meters tall, when will he become the tallest keeper in the Chinese Super League?
If you want to beat Nantong Jiyun successfully, you should at least put the players in the right position and avoid placing the "motorcycle" in the center forward position. When bringing in players, you should go all out. What is Hao Wei's tactical system? How many people can see through its mysteries? Introducing Li Yuanyi, boldly placing him at the back to free Moises. Moises is more effective as a front man in Taishan's midfield, able to shoot from distance and deliver shells to his teammates. Fellaini, might as well play him at center forward!
Fans, do you think Taishan can win three points at home?
