In a highlight match in the 16th round of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan, who have been in excellent form recently, continued their good momentum with a 3-0 victory over second-placed Shanghai Shenhua in the league.
This match is also a contest between two famous coaches, China and South Korea. South Korean godfather Choi Kang-hee coached Shanghai Shenhua in the 2019-2021 season. One of the most outstanding matches is undoubtedly the finale of the 2019 season, with Shenhua leading Shenhua to a 3-0 victory over Shandong Taishan in the FA Cup final. In the words of Li Xiaopeng, the head coach of the Taishan team at the time, he was beaten three times.
As a result, when Choi Kangxi was in charge of the Taishan team, when facing his old club Shenhua team, Wu Jingui, who was known as Mourinho in the Chinese Super League, was beaten three times.
In this manager's showdown between Choi Kang-hee and Oh Jin-gui, the South Korean won completely. Wu Jingui was suspended because the main center of this game Malele accumulated 4 yellow cards, so he simply sent a few substitutes to start the game, and then sent Bassogo, Yu Hanchao and Wu Xi and other main players in the second half.
Wu Jingui has also used this tactic of horse racing many times before, and has achieved good results. But this match faced the old and spicy South Korean Choi Kang-hee, who was recognized by the opponent at a glance.
Then, according to Wu Jingui's Tianji horse race, Choi Kangxi snatched the opening in the opposite way. Because he knew that if the Shenhua team survived the first half, the situation would become difficult to control after the Shenhua team replaced the main force in the second half. Therefore, Choi Kang-hee asked the Taishans team to press the Shenhua team who rotated the lineup as soon as the game started. This made the Shenhua team, which is dominated by young players, very uncomfortable to play, and the scene was very passive.
In addition to pressing and pressing Shenhua in a high position, the second highlight of Choi Kangxi's coaching this game is blitz and fast hair. Not only free kicks require quick delivery, but even the touchline ball requires the players to throw quickly, rather than the full-backs to throw them in a step-by-step manner. In the first half, the Taishan team twice made Shenhua's back line busy with fast sideline balls.
And the goal that Taishan broke the deadlock on the field came from Moxises's corner kick. Not only did it catch the Shenhua team defenders by surprise, and even the TV broadcast director couldn't keep up, but when he played back the offensive slow motion of the previous round, the ball was already in the Shenhua team's net.
In fact, before this corner kick was scored, a corner kick attack by the Taishan team was about to be fired, but the player in front of the point headed high and missed the opportunity to open the scoring.
However, the young Shenhua team lacked game experience, allowing the Taishan team to send fast several times, but still did not attract enough attention, and finally let the third fast hair of the Taishan team finally received a miraculous effect.
After trailing 0-1 and the Shenhua team was still completely passive, the Shenhua coaching staff led by Wu Jingui still did not make any changes, so that they lost the second and third consecutive goals in the following games.
And when the score came to 0-3, Wu Jingui did not adjust and respond in the first half, but only waited to adjust after the break, which was already too late.
Compared with Wu Jingui, Choi Kangxi made sufficient responses and strategies against the Shenhua team and achieved a big victory.
After South Korean coach Choi Kang-hee came to the team, Taisan has achieved 6 wins, 3 draws and 21 points in 9 rounds. If you look at the results of the last nine rounds, Shandong Taishan has scored the most points among the 16 Chinese Super League teams during this period, and even more points than the current top Harbour team.
This season's league championship suspense is back, and against the recently poor Harbour team, Taishan team is likely to usher in a big comeback to the top.
