Despite suffering a double kill from Daegu FC, Shandong Taishan is not without progress. Judging from the results of the game, compared to the 0-7 in the first leg, the number of goals conceded in this game was reduced, after losing 2 goals in the first half, The Lads of Taishan did not have a collapse, at least in the formation to maintain a good situation, the players' hard work lasted almost the whole game, the mentality was maintained well, and the shadow after the fiasco was not seen at all, it seems that the 2 games against the Lion City Sailors helped the players build trust, and the guidance of the coaching staff also played a key role.
During the game, the players' scrambling actions are also measured, avoiding factors other than strength to the minimum, which also reflects the gradual maturity of the team, and the value of the AFC Champions League will also be reflected. Not only that, from the opponent's reaction can also reflect the changes in Taishan, actively scrambling to make the opponent's attack stagnate, compared with the first leg of the confrontation, Daegu FC's shooting and shooting data were reduced by 6 and 5 respectively, which shows that Taishan learned the lesson of the first leg of the fiasco, pressing the opponent near the big forbidden area, not allowing the calm foot.
Not only that, in the 73rd minute with Daegu FC, the opponent's players suddenly fell to the ground with leg cramps, teammates rushed forward to help deal with it, continuous pressing was alleviated, which was also a situation that never appeared in the first leg, obviously, in the face of Tarzan's high pressing, Daegu FC players were not mentally prepared, The Korean team has always been known for its physical strength, and now it is also cramps, which shows that the hard work of Taishan youngsters is worthy of recognition.
At present, there is still the last round of the AFC Champions League, the opponent is the strongest Urawa Red Diamond in this group, and the loss is inevitable, but I hope that Tarzan's young men can fight to the end. Recently, the performance of Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League is poor, and many fans are also criticized. In fact, everyone should have a good attitude, on the one hand, some of these young players have not even played in the professional league, the starting point is indeed relatively low, but the platform is the top in Asia, such a gap, will definitely need an adaptation process, and even there will be a situation where self-confidence is hit, and the outside world should be patient.
On the other hand, the growth of young players needs to be encouraged, especially to see progress in defeat, from 0-7 to 0-4 need to see growth, maybe the next game will be 0-1. In short, I hope that the outside world can be more tolerant, after all, being able to stand on the stage of the AFC Champions League is enough to show that the courage of Taishan and Guangzhou teams is commendable.
