Shandong Taishan, as one of the representatives of Chinese football, has always attracted much attention. And the upcoming AFC Champions League knockout match has made fans even more enthusiastic. According to the plan, Shandong Taishan will assemble on January 13 or 14 to prepare for this important match. And there is less than a month of running-in time for the AFC Champions League knockout round "anti-Japanese", and it is full of calculations.
On January 10, the official website of the AFC announced the time of the two legs of the 1/8 finals of the AFC Champions League. In this high-profile match, Shandong Taishan will face Kawasaki Frontale. For Shandong Taishan, this is a tough battle and a game that must be won. First of all, at 20 o'clock on February 13, Shandong Taishan will sit at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center to face Kawasaki Frontale. As a home game, Shandong Taishan has a natural advantage. The Jinan Olympic Sports Center has a strong home atmosphere, and the fans will also cheer for the team. In this game, Shandong Taishan needs to play their own level and show strong strength and fighting spirit.
Then at 7 p.m. on February 20, Shandong Taishan will travel to challenge Kawasaki Frontale away. Away games are more difficult than home games. However, Shandong Taishan is an experienced team with strong adaptability and fighting spirit. In this game, they will need to overcome the difficulties of playing away from home and play to their quality and level. In this AFC Champions League knockout round, Shandong Taishan aims to win the game and advance to the next round. However, it is not easy to achieve this goal. Kawasaki Frontale is a strong team with excellent skills and a good sense of cooperation. Shandong Taishan needs to be fully prepared, through careful tactical arrangements and excellent performance of the players, in order to be able to win the game.
In the group stage of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Taishan team showed good strength and fighting spirit. Against opponents from different countries and regions, they managed to double defeat South Korean side Incheon United and Filipino side Kaya with strong belief and excellent performance, and these two victories undoubtedly put them in a strong position in the group stage. In the knockout stage of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Taishan team encountered the powerful Japanese team Yokohama Mariners, and was unfortunately killed by the opponent. This defeat was a heavy blow to the Shandong Taishan team, but it also made them more deeply aware of the gap with the world's strongest teams.
Now, the knockout round is once again on, and Shandong Taishan will face off against another Japanese team, Kawasaki Frontale. This game is both an opportunity and a challenge for Shandong Taishan, who need to go all out to win at home and try to clean up the goal difference in the game. Because everyone knows that playing away from home is going to be much more difficult, so you need to build a solid foundation at home. In order to better cope with this game, Shandong Taishan team carried out a series of preparations. The team has brought in two powerful foreign players, Zeka and Kaza, and the arrival of these two players has undoubtedly strengthened the overall strength of the team. Fans finally saw the team's "ruthlessness" in recruitment, and they were full of expectations for these two new signings.
Of course, it is not enough to rely on the strength of foreign players, and the team also needs to form a good tacit understanding and cooperation between local players and foreign players. This requires the players to work hard in training and integrate into the new tactical system as soon as possible. Only in this way will the Shandong Taishan team be able to play their best in the game and defeat strong opponents. In addition, Shandong Taishan team also needs to pay attention to their own defense and offensive conversion in the game. In the previous games, the team had some holes in the defensive end, which gave the opponent some opportunities to take advantage of. Therefore, the team needs to strengthen defensive training and improve the overall coordination ability of the defensive end. At the same time, they also need to be sharper and more efficient in attack, taking every opportunity and trying to score more goals in the game.
In addition to tactical preparation, Shandong Taishan team also needs to be fully prepared psychologically. In the face of strong opponents and a tense atmosphere, players need to remain calm and confident, not afraid of strong opponents, and dare to play to their strengths and strengths. You can only perform at your best in the game if you are mentally prepared.
Regardless of whether the midfielders can successfully bring in reinforcements, Shandong Taishan can at least start to build their front trident. Having an attacking combination of Cressan, Zeka and Kazaishvili will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the Chinese Super League. In the post-Kim Won football era, such a combination will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the opponent's backline. Cressan, the Brazilian striker, proved his worth last season, with his speed and skill keeping opponents off guard. Zeka and Kazaishvili are also good attackers, and they will form a powerful trident with Cressan to attack the city for the Tarzan team. Not only are they a threat in attack, they can also create more chances for the team to break the deadlock.
Of course, fans across the country are more concerned about the performance of Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League. In this field, Shandong Taishan team has become the only seedling of Chinese football. Although other Chinese Super League teams also have a certain strength, Taishan is undoubtedly a team that has a better chance of achieving good results in the AFC Champions League. This is not only because they have a strong attacking combination, but also because of the team spirit and strength they show in the game. In the AFC Champions League, the Taishan team will face strong teams from various countries. Among them, Kawasaki Frontale is a team with good strength. However, as many of the players in the team stay abroad or age, their strength has also been affected. For the Taishan team, if they can play their level and take advantage of the home advantage, it is entirely possible to take all three points and achieve an important victory.
In order to achieve this goal, the Tarzan team needs to maintain a high level of concentration and team spirit during the game. Every player needs to perform at their best and contribute to the overall success of the team. At the same time, the coaching staff also needs to develop targeted tactics to make the most of the team's strengths and limit the opponent's attack.
Recently, according to a number of media reports, the Chinese Super League giants Shandong Taishan team is actively recruiting and preparing to strengthen the team's strength in the new season. It is reported that the Taishan team has had scandals with many players, including Gao Zhunyi, Bi Jinhao, Peng Xinli, Zheng Dalun and other powerful players. In addition, the Taishan team is also interested in Wang Zhenao, a wide player for the Dalian team, who is recognized for his potential and strength.
If these scandals come true, the strength of the Taishan team in the new season will be further improved. The addition of players such as Gao Zhunyi, Bi Jinhao and Peng Xinli will strengthen the team in central defenders, midfielders and wings. In particular, the central defender position has always been the weakness of the Taishan team, and this recruitment is expected to solve this problem. It is worth mentioning that the new coach of the Taishan team, Choi Kang-hee, has a clear idea of recruitment, he said: "Plug and play, come and fight!", which shows that he hopes that the players he brings in can quickly integrate into the team and play well in the game. In order to achieve this goal, Choi Kang-hee pays great attention to the strength and condition of the players when selecting them, as well as their fit with the team.
It is reported that Bi Jinhao and Peng Xinli had a pleasant cooperation experience with Cui Kangxi when they were in the Shenhua team. Their arrival will help to quickly improve the overall strength of the Tarzan team. However, as veterans, they also need to be more disciplined while maintaining a high level of competition in order to maintain good physical and mental condition. In addition to bringing in new signings, the Taishan team is also facing some contract renewal and departure problems. Some of the players in the squad whose contracts are about to expire need to be renewed as soon as possible to ensure their future stay with the Tarzan team. At the same time, some players whose contracts have expired may also choose to leave the team in search of new challenges and opportunities.
In terms of leaving, the one who has attracted the most attention is the popular international player Wu Xinghan. He chose to leave the Taishan team because of a conflict with coach Hao Wei. Although the Taishan team expressed their hope to keep the popular international player, Wu Xinghan's decision to go has been decided. It is reported that he will join a mid-to-upper club to continue his career. In addition to Wu Xinghan, there are other players in the Taishan team who may also leave the team. Most of these players are fringe or young players who have limited opportunities in the Tarzan team, and their departure may be more beneficial for their development.
Bringing in domestic reinforcement is a double-edged sword. In the current football environment, clubs are bringing in excellent domestic players in order to strengthen their strength. However, bringing in domestic reinforcements is not a foolproof solution, it is like a double-edged sword, and if it is handled properly, it can help the team take off, and if it is not handled properly, it can have negative consequences. Gao Zhunyi and Wang Zhenao are two players who are in the prime of their careers, and they have the ability to bring immediate changes to the team. However, for other young players, especially those in the Luneng Academy, their chances may shrink as a result. It's a real problem, and when there are experienced players on board, the room for young players to grow is naturally squeezed.
Taking Peng Xinli and Bi Jinhao as examples, the addition of these two players will undoubtedly increase the strength of the team. But it also means it will be more difficult for young players to break into the first team and even get a rotational substitute. For them, this is undoubtedly a challenge. Of course, there are also those who believe that young players should go on loan and look for opportunities at other clubs to get more practice. In this way, they can not only stay competitive, but also gain experience in actual competitions and better prepare for their future careers. Of course, once in the first team, the players need to make the most of this opportunity. They need to train harder, improve their skills, and learn Xi how to work better together in teams. Only in this way will they be able to stand out from the fierce competition and truly gain a foothold.
In the current football environment, there are many challenges for young players to develop. The club's decision to bring in domestic players will inevitably have a certain impact on the growth of young players. For those who have gone out on loan, they have the opportunity to gain more experience elsewhere, while for the younger players who remain in the squad, they need to train harder and improve themselves in order to get more appearances in future competitions.
Peng Xinli performed well in Qingdao Manatee last season, showing his strength and potential. As a midfielder, Peng Xinli has excellent technical and attacking attributes that allow him to create chances and score crucial goals for his team. His performance is not inferior to players like Li Yuanyi, and even surpasses it in some aspects. At the same time, Bi Jinhao's performance in Changchun Yatai was also decent. He is able to play both as a centre-back and as a striker, which gives him more tactical flexibility. Bi Jinhao's defensive and offensive abilities are relatively balanced, and he can provide stable support for the team.
As for the captain of the Taishan team in the new season, fans generally believe that there are three most likely candidates: Zheng Zheng, Wang Dalei and Cressan. Zheng Zheng is a veteran of the team with a wealth of experience and has been one of the leaders of the team in previous seasons. His leadership and on-field performances have been recognised by both the fans and the coaching staff. Cressan is a young and promising player with excellent technique and scoring ability. His arrival has undoubtedly injected new vitality and possibilities into the Taishan team. On the pitch, he is able to create chances and score key goals for the team, while also working with his team-mates to improve the team's overall effectiveness. In addition, Cressan also has a good leadership temperament and on-field command ability, and can be qualified to play the duties of captain.
To sum up, there is still controversy over the selection of the captain of the Taishan team in the new season. While Zheng Zheng, Wang Dalei and Cressan are all favourites, the final decision will be made by the coaching staff and the club's top management. Regardless of who is chosen as the captain in the end, the fans will support and look forward to better results for the Taishan team in the new season.
