Taishan showed amazing explosive power in this round of matches, the goalkeeper and defender's mistakes became a "big gift" for Yatai, while Taishan smiled at the four goals, ushering in a seemingly fluke but deserved a big win. Although the fruits of victory may seem easy to come by, a closer look at the process and content of the game showed that Taishan clearly had an advantage over their opponents. The backline learned from the previous defeat against Henan and responded accurately to the foreigners and counter-attacking tactics. On the offensive side, they showed patience and tacit understanding, and even after taking a big lead, they did not relax their defense. On the other hand, Yatai's captain Eric was unable to support the team, and Junior was almost invisible. The team's fast counter-attacks were ineffective due to frequent passing errors and low shooting rates. Taishan looked lucky, but in fact it was logical. In this round, Taishan made two adjustments to their starting lineup, Liu Yang replaced Song Long, and constructed the backline with Dailin, Jia Desong and Wang Tong. Liu Binbin replaced Duan Liuyu on the right side of the midfield and was partnered by Chen Pu. Sun Junhao and Moises dropped back in the midfield, but Moises frequently inserted himself into the penalty area, leaving a gap that was duly filled by the other midfielders. Up front, Kressan and Kim Kyung Do held down the fort. Perhaps because of the 33 shots on goal in the previous round had shocked Yatai, Yatai took a deep retreat at the beginning of the game, ceding the midfield and possession to Taishan in an attempt to utilize Eric's speed and breakthroughs to launch a counterattack. Although Taishan has always been afraid of fast counterattacks, but the opponent's retreat makes the positional battle opportunities are few, Eric's counterattacks on the contrary to create a lot of trouble for Taishan. However, Taishan's setup against the opponent's counterattacking tactics was obvious, and the tight pressing in front of the field forced the opponent's attack to end hastily. Junior was also stared at and unable to play. The deadlock was broken in the 38th minute when Yatai's goalkeeper Liu Weiguo missed the ball and the ball slowly rolled into his own goal, giving Taishan a pleasant surprise with the pressure from the front. Immediately after, shortly after the start of the second half, outside the Yatai foreign defender Okere error gift, Jin Jingdao in the penalty area easily break the goal. Two minutes later, Moises cross ball to the goal, Liu Guowei catching error, the ball into the net. All three of Yatai's errors were caused by their own mistakes, and then Liu Guowei was replaced. With a three goal lead, Taishan didn't let up and continued to put pressure on Yatai. This is one of the things that Taishan did well in this game. Whether the offense was blocked or the opponent made a mistake, or they were ahead by a large margin, the team's offense and defense were in order. Moises then went over in front of the net and fired a shot that pierced the opponent's goal once again, giving Taishan a 4:0 win. Compared to the luck of the opponent's mistakes and gifts, Taishan's game content and quality of the game compared to the previous three games has been greatly improved. First of all, Yatai's deep retreat seemed to put little pressure on Taishan's defense, but Eric's counterattacks, as well as Junior and Tan Long's tackle in front of the goal, had dealt a fatal blow to many Chinese Super League teams. However, Liu Binbin's speed was no match for Eric's, and he ran as hard as he could to put Eric under pressure. Jin Jingdao and Moises were also often put into the defense immediately after the attack, and even Chen Pu spoiled the opponent's near-goal chance in a crucial retreat. The midfield support to the back line, so that the Yatai counterattack in the accuracy of passing and receiving the ball and shot on goal rate are greatly reduced, failed to form a threatening shot on goal. Attack, Chen Pu and Liu Binbin in the two sides of the road to play more and more good, especially Liu Binbin, to maintain the speed of the premise, passes also become diversified, there is a high ball, there are full of power of the low ball, so that the opposing defenders difficult to deal with. Although Yatai's retreating defense effectively controlled in and around the penalty area, the second point of the clearance was often obtained by the Taishan team for the second attack. Sun Junho and Moises are getting better and better in this aspect, the former got many chances to shoot from long distance, but all of them were high, the latter finally broke the goal with a cross and a world wave in the middle of the field, which I believe will greatly benefit their self-confidence and improve their status. Without the involvement of a center forward, Taishan finally scored and won big, leaving Taishan slightly regretting that Cressan has yet to find his form, and despite the obvious improvement in cooperation with his teammates, his problem-solving ability has yet to be fully utilized. Fellaini, Zhang Qi and Ji Xiang were obviously warming up and recovering, which was good news for Taishan. Originally thought to be a tough game, Taishan not only won easily, but more importantly, the whole team showed a positive attitude, sweeping away the haze of the previous defeat in Henan. The only bad news is that Dailin is injured, but Shi Ke will be back after his suspension expires in the next game to make up for the shortage of center backs. Taishan is heading in a better direction. (cm)
