Choi Kang-hee's Excellence in Leadership
Choi Kang-hee's charismatic leadership has not only succeeded in conquering the Korean soccer world, but also achieved success on the field of play with his clear tactical thinking and abundant physical strength. It's no coincidence that although the Taishan team has the strength of foreign aid and local elites, Choi's contribution is much more than that. Can he realize the "double kill" Korean team in the AFC Champions League away from home? The answer is obvious, because Cui Kangxi never look for excuses for failure, he only focuses on how to win!
Incredibly, the Taishan heroes were able to wear down the Incheon United players! In the fourth round of the AFC Champions League group stage, Shandong Taishan defeated South Korean powerhouse Incheon United at home by a score of 3-1, beating their opponents for the second consecutive game. Shandong media Qilu Evening News hailed Cui Kangxi as an absolute credit to Taishan's win. His strategy of solid defense in the first half and full attack in the second half was the same for both games. The implementation of the three center backs tactics in the first half hindered Incheon United's offense.
Choi Kang-hee adjusted his tactics by adopting a four-guard formation, with Kressan and Liu Binbin stepping up to the plate and blowing up the offense. In addition to the clever tactical arrangements, Taishan Chinese team showed amazing physical strength in the game, even against the Korean players who are famous for their physical strength. Now, Taishan has the initiative to get out of the group and is expected to advance to the second place in the group. Taesan's style of play and tactical philosophy undoubtedly provide valuable reference for the national team. Korea is not invincible!
Preparation and Challenges for the National Team
The national team is about to start its journey in the Preliminary 36 format in November. Can Jankovic lead his team to a breakthrough? The national team's matches are always full of uncertainty, or fans have been skeptical about the team. Guangzhou Daily analyzed the 24-player list, pointing out that Thailand must fight for three points in the first round of away games, and Jankovic prefers to choose attacking players. Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Wei Shihao, Xie Pengfei, Liu Binbin, Chen Pu, Xie Weijun, Lin Liangming and Tan Long were chosen as strikers.
Controversy over the loss of naturalized player Eickson. This is despite a dip in Ackerson's form in Chengdu Rongcheng and no highlights from the national soccer team's warm-up matches. Currently, only Li Ke and Jiang Guangtai are naturalized players playing for the national team. Compared to club matches, fans are concerned about the inclusion of five injured players, including Zhang Yuning, in the national team's selection of elite players against Thailand and South Korea.The injury problem in the 36-team tournament should not be ignored, and it is difficult for Zhang to return to his best form at this stage.
Zhang Yuning has recovered from injury but has yet to return to his best form in the Chinese Super League. Dalian striker Lin Liangming has struggled in the relegation battle. If called up to the national team, he may be able to make a miraculous recovery. Players such as Zhang Liming, Jiang Guangtai and Zhu Chenjie have just recovered from injuries or are still suffering from injuries. form for the 36-team tournament is unpredictable. Jankovic mainly uses a three center back formation, which requires a lot of side defense. The right wingback is still a hidden problem on the roster!
