In the first seven rounds, 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, Taishan's results are indeed not ideal, and the 19 points from the top team Shanghai Shenhua with 6 wins and 1 draw are obvious.
The results are not satisfactory, and the first person responsible must be the head coach, so Choi Kang-hee must be responsible. But it can't be completely blamed on Cui Kangxi alone.
I'm not defending Choi Kang-hee, because some of the club's own problems, although they have eased recently, do affect the overall combat effectiveness of the team.
To sum up, there are three main aspects of the accusations against Choi Kang-hee.
First, the amount of training is large or unscientific, resulting in poor physical condition of the players and full of injured soldiers.
It is a fact that the camp is full of wounded soldiers, and fans who care about the Taishan team can say it one by one without thinking too much about it. Recently, Pato, Liu Guobao, Liu Binbin, Wang Tong, Zeka, who have been recovering from injuries for a long time, as well as Wang Dalei, Cressan, Jia Desong, Li Yuanyi, Shi Ke, Zheng Zheng, Liao Lisheng...... There are even more when the time is good and sometimes bad, and the game cannot be guaranteed continuously.
If these people are all blamed on Cui Kangxi alone, it is not in line with the truth.
Some of them are due to accidental injuries in the game that lead to long-term recuperation, some are injured due to physical fatigue in continuous battles, and some are due to the decline in competitive state and physical ability due to age, and they need to take turns to rest!
The reasons vary, but definitely not all of them are due to training. Among them, it is related to the intensive schedule of the Taishan team last season and this season, almost all year round, such as the iron man Liu Yang, who has attended all the events of the league, FA Cup, AFC Champions League, and national team.
The second is that Cui Kangxi's technical and tactical playing style is outdated, and he will not arrange the game without a high school striker.
It's no secret that Choi Kang-hee likes high school forwards, he introduced South Korean center Kim Shin-wook in Shenhua, and often arranged Fellaini to be at the front last season, and this season he has repeatedly used Judson, Bi Jinhao and others to make temporary cameos!
Pato, who fans hate the most, was also introduced by Choi Kang-hee to play center. Cui Kangxi's skills and tactics are not very complicated, mainly to make a fuss on the side or directly find a high striker in the backfield, and press high in the front court to create offensive opportunities.
Although from the game with the harbor, the technical and tactical content is slightly poor, but the current Shandong Taishan is more suitable for this set of tactics, after all, we have a historical heritage of high and high, one high and one fast, and the players can play their best ability in this set of tactics.
The right one is the best, and being able to get good results shows that Choi Kang-hee is also suitable. The big victory over the Cangzhou Lions is also the latest example!
Seeing this, do you ask, what are the good results? Objectively speaking, isn't it the AFC Champions League quarterfinals? Is there too many objective factors for the poor league results? Who can predict the outbreak of injuries in such a concentrated manner? Problems in the operation of the club will seriously affect the players' game status!
The third is that Cui Kangxi failed to recruit this season, and there is a suspicion of nepotism!
Pato, we won't talk about it, it was brought in in the middle of last season. The latest news says Pato is seriously injured and could miss the rest of the season.
A total of five players have been introduced this season, two foreign aides from Kazaishvili and Zeka, and three domestic aides from Gao Zhunyi, Peng Xinli and Bi Jinhao.
Zeka has not returned from injury so far, and I am afraid it will be until the second half of the season. This is also the main reason for Shandong's current technical and tactical play problems, Zeka is the center of India, Pato, Bi Jinhao, and Judson are only temporary cameos.
Of the five major reinforcements, only Kazaishvili and Gao Zhunyi have been successful so far, Peng Xinli is barely making do, and Bi Jinhao is a one-size-fits-all list.
Will you say that there are no other characteristics except that old is old? However, you should be able to see from the previous rumors of the club's operation that the Taishan Club does not have much money at present! Otherwise, there would be no news of salary arrears and back taxes.
If you don't have a lot of money, then you have to think about the cost performance, consider the free reinforcements, and consider spending a small amount of money! If the budget is sufficient, who wouldn't want to bring in a few better ones?!
Therefore, it is neither objective nor fair to attribute all the current problems to Cui Kangxi, Cui Kangxi has his own problems, but by no means these three problems!
As for what the problem is, do you see it? I'll write another article to discuss it when I have time!
