On the evening of April 5, the Qilu derby between Shandong Taishan and Qingdao Manatee was staged at the Youth Football Stadium, which was fierce and full of drama, and Qingdao Manatee held on for 90 minutes, but collapsed at the last moment.
And it is in this context that CCTV's "Football Night" program brought an in-depth interview, allowing us to get a glimpse of the football world and wisdom of Shandong Taishan coach Cui Kangxi.
Cui Kangxi is not an unfamiliar name in Chinese football. He is a respected and beloved coach for his profound football philosophy, exquisite interpretation of the game, and unique insights into football tactics and management.
In this interview, Choi Kang-hee not only shared his experience of leading the team to the AFC Champions League this season, but also unreservedly expressed his views on the gap between Chinese and South Korean football, and how to find balance and breakthroughs in the two-front battle of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League.
The competition on the field is always full of uncertainties, and Shandong Taishan has encountered no small challenges in this season's Chinese Super League. Especially in the Qilu derby on the evening of April 5, in the face of the unfavorable situation full of injuries, the Taishan team still showed unyielding fighting spirit.
In the 91st minute of the game, Delgado scored a wonderful goal to help the Taishan team defeat Qingdao Manatee 1-0 and win three valuable points. The victory not only instilled a strong boost of confidence in the team, but also provided valuable support for their position in the Chinese Super League.
Choi Kang-hee has his own unique interpretation of this victory. He believes that the victory was due to the hard work and spirit of the whole team, especially in the final moments, and Delgado's performance won him high praise.
Choi Kang-hee believes that if Delgado can better integrate into the team as a whole and adapt to the technical and tactical arrangements, then he will have more opportunities in the future. And Delgado himself said that he was looking for opportunities in the game according to the requirements of the head coach, and finally helped the team to victory.
In addition to the game itself, Choi Kang-hee also talked about his views on the gap between Chinese and South Korean football in the interview. He believes that the gap between China and South Korea is not as big as imagined, and it is more of a psychological problem.
He pointed out that for Chinese players, excessive psychological pressure and fear of the Korean team are the main reasons for the decline in performance. Choi Kang-hee tried to change this mentality through communication with the international players in the team, so that the players could face the game more confidently.
When talking about his return to coaching, Choi Kang-hee showed his love and dedication to football. Although he considered quitting at one point due to various pressures, his love for football eventually led him to take the coaching position again.
He admits that the Shandong club has given him full trust and support, which gives him more space to implement his tactics and philosophy. Cui Kangxi's return undoubtedly brought new hope and possibilities to the Shandong Taishan team.
From this in-depth interview, we can not only feel Choi Kang-hee's deep understanding of football and desire to win, but also see his unique insights as a coach on tactical layout and psychological adjustment of players.
Whether it is in the AFC Champions League or in the fierce battle of the Chinese Super League, Cui Kangxi has shown his coaching wisdom and deep affection for football. As the season deepens, we have reason to believe that under the leadership of Cui Kangxi, the Shandong Taishan team will show more exciting performances in the future games.
