Introduction: Shandong Taishan lost 2-3 to Kawasaki Frontale in the AFC Champions League 1 8 knockout round, Fernando left the field injured, and almost launched a preemptive tactical reversal when Choi Kang-hee mistrusted one person. ** Mixed reviews of Tarzan's performance, believing that the team had an overwhelming advantage in statistics, but mistakes on the defensive end remained the focus of criticism. Now we will depict the process of the game, the strengths and weaknesses of the teams and the tactical adjustments to witness the true face of this special game.
Shandong Taishan performed well in the game, and although they lost 2-3 in the end, the data showed that the Taishan team had a clear advantage in many aspects. It is worth mentioning that Taishan far outperformed their opponents in the number of shots on goal, the number of shots on target and the percentage of possession, which fully showed their threat and control in attack. However, it was at the critical moment of seizing the opportunity that the Taishan team was a little less decisive, which became one of the main reasons why they lost the game.
Expanding: In the game, the Tarzan team showed excellent skills and coordination, and they frequently created threats on the field, leaving the opponent in a constant defensive situation. In particular, Lee Won-il's furious attack at the beginning of the game caught the opponent off guard and created many opportunities for the team to shoot. However, it is worth reflecting on Wu Xinghan's hesitation and passing errors in the attack, which made the Taishan team miss multiple scoring opportunities. Undoubtedly, with the support of overall statistics, the Taishan team did perform well in the game, but there were still deficiencies in decision-making and execution at key moments.
Despite the Tarzan's excellent offensive performance, the final defeat in this game was mainly due to defensive mistakes at the back. Of the three goals conceded, two were clearly avoidable, which also drew criticism from ** and fans. The opponent carried out a careful destruction of the Tarzan team's defense, using fouls and destructive moves to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Tarzan team. In particular, the fouls against Cressan and Fernando caused the Tarzan team to encounter great resistance when attacking. In this regard, the Tarzan team needs to learn from the lessons and improve on them in future games.
Expanding: The Tarzan team looked a little helpless in the face of the opponent's sharp attack, and the mistakes on the defensive end were gradually exposed. The opponent cleverly exploited and aggravated the holes in the Tarzan backline, leaving them in a passive situation. In particular, Wu Xinghan's passivity and lack of accuracy in offensive rhythm have become the team's defensive weakness. This also reminds the Taishan team that in the future games, we should pay attention to the construction of the overall defensive system and improve the ability to resist external attacks, so as to avoid losing again due to poor defense.
In the late stages of the match, Choi Kang-hee made some tactical adjustments and tried to change the situation by taking the lead in the game. Especially in the 66th minute, Fernando's goal saved a goal for the Tarzan team, making the score 1-2. Fernando's positive performances have been eye-catching, and his dynamism and attacking awareness on the pitch have given the team a glimmer of hope. However, in the following game, despite the many threats posed by the Taishan team, they could not completely turn the situation around, and finally lost 2-3.
Expanding: Fernando's presence has reinvigorated the Tarzans' attacking line, and his individual ability and outstanding performances have turned the team around. Under his leadership, the Tarzan team repeatedly attacked the opponent's goal in an attempt to equalize. In particular, in the 74th minute, Fernando's pinpoint cross created another chance for Pato to score, but the latter failed to capitalise on it. At the same time, Choi Kang-hee's adjustments in the game also played a role, but the opponent's solid defense and ferocious counterattack still made it difficult for Taishan to reverse the situation. Although Tarzan eventually lost the match with the result, their fighting spirit and fighting spirit against strong opponents were admirable.
Summary: This game reflects the fighting spirit and confrontation consciousness of Shandong Taishan team in the AFC Champions League, although the final regrettable defeat, their strength and enterprising spirit in the game are worthy of recognition. As a supporter of the team, we should see their highlights and room for improvement in the game, and maintain confidence and expectation for the future development of the team. Regardless of whether they win or lose, the Taishan team will continue to move forward, constantly surpass themselves, and show the style of Chinese football in Asian football.
