In the first 5 rounds of group matches, the overall performance of the Taishan elite team has improved significantly, gradually adapting to the rhythm of the AFC Champions League, and also scored the first point and scored two goals. In the first leg against Urawa Red Diamonds, Tarzan lost 5-0, and now against Urawa Red Diamonds, Taishan is looking forward to new improvements.

Captain Lu Yongtao also said that he hopes to play a better performance and leave no regrets. In the first 5 games, Lu Yongtao was the only player to play all the games, as the captain of the team, he also completed the task well and scored the first goal for the Taishan team. Against Urawa Red Diamonds, Lu Yongtao will continue to start, and he also said: "As the captain, I want to better execute the tactical arrangement of the coach, I will do my best in the game to help the team and myself, or I hope to successfully complete the last game." ”
Speaking of the lineup arrangement of Urawa Red Diamonds, Yu Yuanwei made it clear that he would arrange the strongest personnel to play at present, and strive to play the best game content with the best mental outlook. Of course, Yu Yuanwei is also very clear that at this stage, the Taishan team must first do a good job of defense against Urawa Red Diamonds, but at the same time, the team will rely on team strength and personal ability to strive for better performance on the offensive end. To some extent, the Tarzan team still has to go all out to fight for goals.
Judging from the situation in the group, Urawa Red Diamonds can lock in qualification as long as they win, and even if they don't win, they have the initiative, they don't have to fight for more goal differences, and may rotate the lineup. For the Taishan team, the key to this game is to make fewer mistakes, strive to play better on the defensive end, and the offensive end can seize the opportunity to draw a satisfactory end to the AFC Champions League group stage.
In terms of lineup arrangement, Cao Zheng, Lin Guoyu, Mustapa, Yang Ruiqi, Jin Nuo and Zhang Yingkai are expected to start, and Chen Zhexuan, Lu Yongtao, Baihe Lamu, Yi Xianlong and Liu Fanyi are expected to start in the midfield, and the Taishan team is trying to play a wonderful game.
