In recent times, Shandong Taishan team has encountered new difficulties, the team has too many injuries, the main lineup is seriously incomplete, the last 3 rounds of the league 2 draws and 1 loss, this round of the league and 0-6 away from home to Shanghai Shenhua. Judging from the current state of the team, not to mention the championship, I am afraid that even the AFC Champions League place next season will be lost.
Although it was an away game and many of the main players were unable to play, the score of 0-6 was not the real strength gap between the Taishan team and the Shenhua team. In addition to the morale factor, the red card for Brazilian striker Cressan in the first half was also a major reason.
In this campaign, the Taishan team had a bad start, and after only 18 minutes, they had already conceded 3 goals in a row. This can't help but remind fans of the scene when the Taishan team scored 2 goals in the first 5 minutes of the last round by Beijing Guoan. But no one expected that this was just the beginning of the nightmare of the Tarzan team in this game.
Less than 10 minutes after conceding the third goal, Cressan, the main striker of the Taishan team, deliberately kicked down Zhu Chenjie in the process of scrambling and received a yellow card from the referee Maimaitijiang. However, the matter is not over yet, Shenhua's player Gao Tianyi came up to reason with Cressan and was pushed down by the latter.
Although Gao Tianyi's fall to the ground is obviously acting, such violent actions are absolutely not allowed in the professional league. Without hesitation, Maimaitijiang showed Cressan a second yellow card, two yellows turned into one red, and Cressan was sent off.
Many Shandong fans couldn't understand Cressan being sent off, and some even thought that Cressan didn't want to play, so he took the initiative to get a red card for himself. Indeed, after the "tax refund" problem at Taishan Club this season, many first-team players have been in a state of varying degrees of emotion, and Cressan is one of them, and the reaction is still great.
This season, in the case of the lack of major generals in the Taishan striker, Cressan had to take on more offensive responsibilities, but in the game, he often dribbled the ball alone, unwilling to cooperate with his teammates, obviously playing with emotions, which undoubtedly further affected the overall performance of the Taishan team in the league.
It is undeniable that Cressan is one of the best foreign players in the history of the Tarzan team, but his professional attitude has been questioned by many people. At the beginning of this year, Taishan Club had just renewed a new 3-year contract with Cressan, but I didn't expect Cressan to perform like this after the contract was renewed.
And this also reminds many fans of another player of the Taishan team - Fernando, the naturalized striker has recently been unable to renew his contract with the club, without injury, directly boycotted, Fernando has been absent from Shandong Taishan and Beijing Guoan, as well as Shanghai Shenhua team's two key games, which indirectly caused the Taishan team to suffer 2 consecutive defeats in the Chinese Super League.
And now Cressan refuses to participate in another way, I have to say that there are indeed a lot of problems in the management of the Taishan Club now.
After a 6-0 defeat at Shanghai Shenhua, Taishan will return to their home stadium to host Qingdao Manatees next week. The strength of the Manatees is completely different from that of Taishan, and they have no chance to score points away from home. But with the current state of the Taishan team, there is really no 100% certainty that they will win the Qingdao Manatee team at home. If you can't get all 3 points, then the Taishan team will suffer the embarrassment of 5 rounds of winless in the Chinese Super League, and Cui Kangxi's dismissal may be inevitable......
