On February 13, Beijing time, the key player of the Taishan team in the AFC Champions League, Xiaomoto, was forced to leave the field due to injury, which touched the hearts of countless Taishan fans. In the match against Kawasaki Frontale, he suffered a heavy tackle from his opponent, resulting in a serious injury. According to the latest report from Shandong, the injury may keep him out of the field for up to three months. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Taishan team, because the small motorcycle is an important part of their side attack, and his breakthrough ability is unmatched in the team.
With the injury of the small motorcycle, the Taishan team lost 2-3 at home, but this is not the end of their AFC Champions League. The two teams will meet again on the 20th, and the AFC has removed the rule of away goals this time, counting only the total number of goals. This change may have provided an opportunity for the Tarzans to reverse the game away from home. Although the current staffing of the Tarzan squad makes it difficult for them to win or score goals on the road, they still need to adjust their mentality and give it their all to avoid a heavy defeat without a small motorcycle.
Looking back at the game, the performance of the Taishan team players was disappointing, and it is expected that at least three players will no longer be in Choi Kang-hee's squad for the next match. Meanwhile, Liu Binbin's return from injury and Delgado's inclusion in the squad have increased significantly. It is expected that in the No. 20 Taishan team's away game against Kawasaki Frontale again, Choi Kang-hee will be able to make tactical adjustments and surprise the fans. The Tarzan team will need to show more fighting spirit and team spirit in this crucial game to make up for the loss caused by the absence of the small motorcycle and strive for a better result in the AFC Champions League.
