Shandong Taishan team faced Yokohama Mariners in the 6th round of the AFC Champions League, and the game kicked off at 16:00 pm Beijing time on December 13. Although Shandong Taishan only sent two foreign players to the game, they were excellent on the defensive end, firmly executing man-to-man tactics and successfully containing the Yokohama opponent's high-altitude ball attack. In the first half, Shandong Taishan did not give Yokohama Mariners a chance to get corners, but instead won corners through counterattacks on several occasions, but unfortunately failed to convert those chances into goals.
However, in the last minute of first-half stoppage time, due to the decline in fitness, Shandong Taishan finally could not hold the goal, and the Yokohama Mariners took advantage of Li Hailong's poor form to go straight into the Shandong Taishan penalty area and hit a low shot to rewrite the score to 0-1. This conceded goal showed that Li Hailong had tried his best, but unfortunately due to technical problems, he made an embarrassing mistake and the ball was scored. If Li Hailong could have put a tackle in advance to try to clear the siege, maybe this conceded goal would not have occurred.
Although it is understandable that Lee Hae-ryong did not dare to foul excessively considering that he had been shown a yellow card by the referee before, the problem of Lee Hae-long's lack of defensive skills was infinitely magnified in the face of the high-level foreign aid of the Yokohama team. This goal conceded deprived Shandong Taishan of a good start. It is hoped that in the second half, under the guidance of Cui Kangxi, the Shandong Taishan team can make timely adjustments and strive not to concede any more goals.
Considering the momentum displayed by the Yokohama Mariners on the field, the Tarzan team must avoid a collapse as this is not something that Tarzan fans want to see.
