At the end of the 8th round of the Chinese Super League, Taishan team successfully improved its ranking to 5th with 3 points from defeating Chengdu Rongcheng 1:0 away. Meanwhile, thanks to a draw between leaders Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port, Taishan is just six points away from the top of the standings. Next, the opponents of the Tarzan team are not as strong as in the previous stage, and they will have a good chance to catch up with the score.
Since the beginning of this season, due to the conflict between the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League on a cross-year basis, the Taishan team's schedule is too dense, coupled with the personnel transfer of the national team and the National Olympic team, the Taishan team once had a serious personnel disorder, and in the first 8 rounds, they have played against 6 of the 7 opponents in the top 8 points. Under such circumstances, it is very rare to still not fall behind and maintain the pressure on the first group.
Until the league break, Taishan will have a sweet schedule, they will play Nantong Zhiyun, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng and Zhejiang at home, and Qingdao West Coast, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Wuhan Three Towns away. In addition to the strong strength of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, the strength of several other opponents is not strong, and the Taishan team should be able to win as long as they play normally. If all these six games can be won, the position of the Taishan team in the standings will be greatly improved, and it is expected to enter the top three or even win the halfway championship.
However, the Taishan team is also an old problem in the face of the weak team to drop the chain, especially Nantong Zhiyun, an opponent who lost last season, must be paid great attention to, and the home team must be won!
