The official announcement of the Taishan team is that striker Pato has fractured his left pubic bone and ischium, and will be surgically treated.
In other words, Pato is basically out of action this season. Of course, it is not ruled out that he will recover relatively well and be able to catch up with the last few league or cup games.
Either way, let the list of injuries that were already a headache be further lengthened.
However, for the Taishan team, the recent return of several generals still gives fans some psychological comfort. Like Li Yuanyi, who has already appeared, there are Cressan and Judson who have just participated in training, as well as Zheng Zheng, Liu Binbin and Wang Dalei.
At present, the Taishan team has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, ranking 7th in the standings. Combined with the situation of the team, this result can only be said to be grudgingly acceptable.
But, anyway, now the league has just begun. It should be impossible for the Taishan team to give up the championship. Don't say that the club won't agree, even the fans will definitely not agree.
So how can we make use of the existing resources to get the team back on track as soon as possible? We can do it from the perspective of tactics and personnel allocation alone.
The general idea is divided into three parts: forward + forward, two wings, midfield + defense + goalkeeper.
First of all, how to configure the forward midfield and forward line?
Since Pato is already injured, then don't think about him in the future. And we don't have to think about whether Zeka can come back in the second half of the season for the time being. Use the current configuration to integrate resources and maximize strength.
The most desirable option is Cressan + Kazaishvili.
However, the author's thoughts are completely different from Choi Kang-hee's. Cressan doesn't want to be a free man, he still has to do what he is good at, which is to get back to the front line. The closer Cressan gets to the penalty area, the more powerful it becomes. Instead, you use him as Moises, who can hold the ball, but doesn't have a good striker. Even if Pato is healthy, his archery skills are not half as bad as Cressan's.
And bringing Cressan back to the front line is not only the position he is used to, but also changes the weakness of the Tarzan team's forward line.
So who will be the striker? Gaddyaishvili will definitely be the leader.
As you know, Kazaishvili is on the left flank and must be very strong. But his attributes of dribbling and sharing the ball are obviously the characteristics of a good striker.
Moreover, the most effective way for a team to strike is to break through the middle, because once the middle is open, he can attack directly, and he can also create a lot of opportunities for the two wings.
On the contrary, it is definitely not wise to simply find a breakthrough on the side. Besides, the current Taishan team does not have a high striker like Fellaini. What's the use of having a thriving side and no fulcrum in the middle and in the penalty area?
Fixing Cressan as a lone striker and Kazaishvili as a midfielder doesn't solve the team's attacking problems, but it also solves the problem that the two positions often overlap. (As can be seen from previous matches, Kazaishvili is active on the wing, while Cressan also often goes to the wing, and the positions of the two often coincide)
Another point, which is also very important, is what we will talk about next: After the two of them return to the middle, they don't have to worry about the team's offensive and defensive problems on the side, because the two wings of the Taishan team are at the national team level!
Secondly, how should the side roads be arranged?
As we mentioned above, the wings of the Shandong Taishan team are all internationals, so it must be no problem for Kazaishvili and Cressan to go to the middle.
On the left road, Liu Binbin (recovered) + Liu Yang, and on the right road, Fernando + Gao Zhunyi!
Isn't it enough to crush the vast majority of Chinese Super League teams? What's more, the Taishan team also has two attacking fullbacks, namely Chen Pu and Xie Wenneng. They can be on the bench at any time!
Therefore, the author has always believed that the proudest place of the Taishan team should be the two sides, which can be attacked and defended!
Therefore, there is no need to put Kazaishvili or Cressan on the side, which not only affects the team's offensive efficiency, but also squeezes the space of several big players to play, which is an absolute waste of resources.
Finally, the arrangement of midfielders, central defenders and goalkeepers.
In fact, there should be no suspense in these three positions. The midfielder mainly refers to the midfielder, and Lee Won-il (who has recovered) definitely has a place, the only uncertainty is who the other spot will be for.
Of the two central defenders, the most ideal options are still Zheng Zheng and Judson. It is undeniable that the age of the two people is already very large, but it is not a big problem to deal with the intensity of the Super League for another two years. Although Shi Ke's performance is unstable, it is no problem to be a substitute. In addition, Zhao Jianfei has proven his strength in recent games, so he can also be a qualified replacement when he needs support.
As for the goalkeeper, Wang Dalei must be the first brother who can't be beaten. But in these games, Liu Shibo has also proved his worth, and over time, the future is also limitless.
Write at the end
The above staffing arrangement, at least what the team can do now, is that these people are basically healthy, or have recovered.
In fact, the ideal option is for Zeka and Cressan to form a double striker, with Kazaishvili standing behind the two of them, and buying a foreign midfielder. Change the formation of the Taishan team to 4132 or 433, the effect of this will definitely be that the defense is not weak, and the attack is stronger.
Unfortunately, it will all have to wait until the summer window to see if the club will buy a good midfielder and if Zeka can return to the team and restore his previous strength.
And at the moment, it is not difficult to build the lineup above. It is rare that Cui Kangxi comforted everyone and brought everyone out of the recent downturn. In addition, with Kazaishvili and Cressan in the middle, the offensive tactics in the front court should be adjusted and run-in accordingly, and how long will it take in the middle of this period.
