Zeka's injury has always touched the hearts of fans.
As the blockbuster reinforcement of Shandong Taishan team this season, I believe everyone knows very well what Zeka's joining means. At the heart of the attacking midfield, his injury has clouded the team's prospects, both in the league and in the AFC Champions League.
During the team's training, he was accidentally injured by his teammates, resulting in a ligament strain, which was the initial news of the injury. However, whether the specific injury is serious or not, and how long it will take to recuperate, the club has never responded positively to everyone's concern.
However, according to the latest news, Zeka's injury is indeed not light, and since the injury, the swelling has not subsided so far. Without swelling, no further injury evaluation can be done, which is more troublesome.
At present, Zeka has left the Haikou training base, and according to the analysis of the assessment, he will not be fully recovered in a short time, so the club has taken comprehensive considerations, combined with Zeka's own opinions, returning to Brazil for injury treatment will be the final choice.
At present, it is less than 20 days before the AFC Champions League knockout round, which means that Zeka will definitely not be able to participate in the AFC Champions League. As for whether it can catch up with the new season of the Chinese Super League, it will be re-evaluated according to further injury identification and recovery, and the Taishan team will also make further explanations at that time.
Without the offensive core of the frontcourt, Choi Kang-hee will have to re-practice new tactical routines, and the Taishan team has always been based on high school forwards, but Zeka's departure makes the team's offensive choice very embarrassing.
Originally, the Taishan team had this situation, and the mentality was already very depressed, and at this time, the relevant media people fell into the ground! Once again, the spearhead was pointed at the Taishan team, and frankly admitted that the team's introduction of foreign aid did not have a clear idea, and it seemed very chaotic. In the new season, there can be five foreign players in the league, look at the current foreign aid configuration of the Taishan team, Zeka, Cressan, Pato, and Kazaishvili, all of them are front-court attackers, can they all appear? Isn't this a typical waste of places? Doesn't Choi Kang-hee understand what the team really needs?
We cannot evaluate whether his statement is correct or not, but we can only say that we can analyze it according to conventional thinking, and this understanding is understandable. But if he could think deeply, there shouldn't be such low-level doubts.
First of all, the departure of Marouane Fellaini and Moises is destined to have the right reinforcements in these two positions. Kaza and Zeka were the first ideas.
Secondly, you must know that a mature team, the tactics are not static, you need to change the formation back and forth, according to the situation on the field, the players choose the right role by themselves, can not stick to a fixed position and role.
If the Taishan team wants to achieve good results in the new season, then the league must be fully in shape from the beginning, and the run-in time between technical tactics and players will be compressed as little as possible.
Whoever can carry the burden of Moisés, Cressan is definitely a suitable person. Last season, Cressan proved that he is not only a great striker, but also a qualified wide attacker, able to hold the ball and deliver lethal passes, and he can attract the defensive energy of two or three opponents alone. If Cressan is defined as a free man in the frontcourt, or in the position of shadow striker and attacking striker, it can not only amplify the tactical offensive effect of the Taishan team, but also completely solve the problem of bloated forwards.
In addition, Cressan is familiar with the characteristics of his teammates and the environment of the Chinese Super League, so it is most suitable for him to take on the command of the team. If you have Kazaishvili at the heart of the midfield, he'll need to be familiar with the rhythm of the league and the habits of his team-mates, and we don't know how long it will take him to get used to. The Taishan team, which is striving to win the championship, has so much time for him to slowly adapt?
Kazaishvili can come to the wing, he is a versatile player up front. If Kazaishvili and Cressan can form a duo in the forward line, then the second-line offensive gradient of the Taishan team will be very strong, and at the same time, it will greatly relieve the offensive pressure for several major strikers in the penalty area.
Therefore, the Taishan team seems to have bought a lot of forwards, but in fact, they are in the hands of Cui Kangxi, and there is no conflict, so there is no need to complain about the team's confusion in recruiting ideas.
It's just that Zeka is injured at present, and the forward line is weak again, so let's go back to everyone's conventional offensive thinking, that is, Cressan is still a striker, and Kazaishvili is the core of the organization (at this time, Cressan still has to move on a large scale, with Kazaishvili familiar with the rhythm of the league), Pato and Bijinhao compete for another center position. When Zeka returns from injury, Cressan, Zeka, and Kaza can form an attack triangle, and the three of them keep changing positions back and forth. And Pato waited for the opportunity, and with the three of them contained, even if he ate cakes, Pato could gain a lot.
Cui Kangxi can always use existing resources to maximize its ability, last season's Taishan team's accumulation, fully illustrates this point, and it is no wonder that the Football Association wants to dig Cui Kangxi to take over as the coach of the national football team!
