Preface
In the 1/8 finals of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Taishan and the Japanese J League club Kawasaki Frontale were in the same group. According to the AFC's previous schedule, the first round of meetings between the two teams will basically start around February 13, 24, and the second round of meetings will be around February 20, with Shandong Taishan first home and then away. At that time, how will Taishan coach Cui Kangxi arrange his troops and what kind of starting lineup will he send?
Formation analysis
Formation: Because Kawasaki Frontale is a traditional Japanese team, he is good at small-scale coordination, has a high overall tacit understanding, and likes to use fast passing to break through the opponent's defense. Therefore, Shandong Taishan is more likely to discharge a 4-4-2 formation. This set of standing defence covers a wider area, making it easier to cut off the opponent's passing lanes, and the midfield position is not particularly empty, giving the opponent a chance to take advantage of it.
Initial Analysis
So with the 4-4-2 formation as the standard, who will be the starting 11?
Starting goalkeeper: Wang Dalei
There is no doubt about this, Da Lei is sure that the main goalkeeper of the Taishan team. However, it will be necessary for him to lose weight and increase his flexibility before the start of the race. Otherwise, Kawasaki Frontale, who is good at sudden cold arrows and sudden long-range shots, is likely to make Shandong Taishan suffer.
Starting defenders: Liu Yang, Judson, Zheng Zheng (Gao Zhunyi), Tong Lei
Liu Yang has become the main fullback of the national football team through his own efforts, and he must also have a place in the Taishan team. Judson has one year left on his contract and the AFC Champions League needs him to shoulder the defensive load. Gao Zhunyi is rumored to be likely to join Taishan, and if this news is true, then he is expected to replace Zheng Zheng as the starting central defender. Tong Lei also returned from injury and should be able to return as he wishes after the entire winter training.
Starting backs: Kaza, Bai Shenghao, Li Yuanyi, Liu Binbin
Kaza is a new foreign aid of Shandong Taishan, good at individual combat, with strong solution ability, and can be regarded as a player's independent version of Moises. Bai Shenghao is also a foreign aid of Taishan's scandal, and he can be regarded as Sun Zhunhao, who has strong offensive attributes. Li Yuanyi and Liu Binbin, the old partners, it is difficult for the other players to shake their status.
Starting forwards: Cressan, Zeka
Zeka is also the new foreign aid of the Taishan team, a typical 1.9 meter high school striker, and his role is the fulcrum. Cressan's position should be more of a midfielder, and he needs to receive and cross.
