Shandong Taishan faced the AFC Champions League, the league double-line battle, the first round of the league easily defeated Yatai to get a good start, the second round of the league will usher in the Jinglu battle with the old rival Beijing Guoan, for the Taishan team, in the face of Guoan in the past there are two sentences: the first sentence is called to fight Guoan without mobilization. The old opponent is straight to the point, there is never any politeness and temptation, and both home and away games are basically a real duel between the tip of the needle and the real gun.
The second sentence is called eating and sleeping to play Guoan, Taishan team and Guoan top league have been against each other for so many years, although the results have their own wins and losses, but the Taishan team has never been scared of Guoan, and also played quite a lot, tough technical style can often beat the Royal Forest Army to no temper. According to statistics, Shandong Taishan and Beijing Guoan have played 77 times in history, Shandong Taishan has 30 wins, 29 draws and 18 losses, and Shandong Taishan's overall record has the upper hand. Last season, the home team almost beat Guoan coach Suarez out of class, and the away elimination of the FA Cup made the Beijing media lose his temper.
However, this match is not friendly to the Taishan team of the two-line battle, although it is a home game, but it has to face the devil's schedule of three games a week, and on the sixth day it will face the AFC Champions League opponent Yokohama Mariner, on the 9th it will play against Beijing Guoan, and on the 12th, it will play the second leg of the AFC Champions League away. Beijing Guoan, on the other hand, can easily play with ease and hard work. In this process, there is something that everyone is very unwilling to see, that is, in the face of the devil's schedule, Changchun Yatai adjusted the schedule very happily and gave the Taishan team a convenience. There is no change in the schedule between the Taishan team and Beijing Guoan, why does Beijing Guoan not have this pattern? There are two theories in it, one is that the Taishan team did not negotiate with Beijing Guoan at all, because the negotiation was useless, and Beijing Guoan had already rejected the request of the Taishan team to adjust the AFC Champions League in the past. So this time the Tarzan team simply did not make a request. Another theory is that the Taishan team made a request, but Beijing Guoan readily refused. Because Beijing Guoan just wants to take this opportunity to avenge last season's defeat.
In fact, no matter what kind of statement it is, it can also be seen that there is a more sensitive competitive relationship between Taishan and Guoan. The cooperation between the two sides is not as simple as some people say: fans quarrel and the club has a good relationship. Because of the difference in the current situation of the two sides, Beijing Guoan now obviously regards the Taishan team as an imaginary enemy to catch up and overtake. This should be the truth on the surface.
It is based on this competition that Taishan fans must hope that Taishan can continue their strong stance against Guoan at home. But now because of the AFC Champions League, the Taishan team may not have time to play Guoan. A number of ** people revealed: The current strategic focus of the Taishan team is still in the AFC Champions League. As the only seedling of the Super League in the AFC Champions League, the Taishan team now represents not only the Taishan team itself, but also the last face for the entire Chinese Super League, so the league is actually placed in second place. In this case, it is very likely that the Taishan team will play against Beijing Guoan with a rotating lineup.
Taishan team's best result in the AFC Champions League is the quarterfinals, this season Taishan team has achieved this goal again, through the AFC Champions League East Asia current situation analysis, coach Cui Kangxi believes that it is the time to strive for better results, the club also respects Cui Kangxi's judgment, the consensus is to play the AFC Champions League with all its might, so the AFC Champions League quarterfinals against Yokohama Mariners Taishan team is a nirvana. Coach Choi Kang-hee also focused on the AFC Champions League for the time being.
According to **, there is a unified consensus within the Taishan team, that is, if you want to build the club into a century-old store, you can't just focus on the Chinese Super League, or you still have to make a difference in the AFC Champions League. It should also bear the responsibility of fighting for the face of the entire Chinese Super League, and must not take the initiative to give up the AFC Champions League in order to protect the league like the Harbour team last season. It is reported that not only the first goal of the Taishan team this season is the AFC Champions League, but also an important goal of the Taishan team in the following season, and it will never be easily abandoned.
