Top Author List 1-2! The Taishan team lost again, and the AFC Champions League was killed by the Yokohama Mariners 3 times in a row, and Choi Kang-hee was disappointing
The Chinese Super League giants Taishan team lost again! And still lost to the old rival Yokohama Mariners. In the first leg of the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League, the Taishan team, which had the advantage of being at home, conceded one goal in each half and lost 1-2 to the Japanese powerhouse Yokohama Marinos. After losing this game, the Taishan team has been beaten by Yokohama Mariners three times in a row in the AFC Champions League. In the previous group stage, the Yokohama Mariner defeated the Taishan team in 2 legs. I have to say that Choi Kang-hee's coaching ability still disappointed the fans at a critical moment. 
Tarzan 1- lost again, AFC Champions LeagueAfter being beaten by the Yokohama Mariners 3 times in a row, the Taishan team in the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, and the second leg defeated the Japanese powerhouse Kawasaki Frontale 4-2 to advance to the top 8, which was expected by many fans. However, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Originally, I thought that after losing to the Yokohama Mariners in the second leg of the group stage, the head coach of the Taishan team, Choi Kang-hee, would have some changes. But judging from the results of the game, the Taishan team really had no way to face the Yokohama Mariners. In addition, before the game, Cressan, the team's number one core, was absent due to injury, which made the Taishan team even worse. As it turned out, the Tarzan team, which lacked Cressan, had absolutely no one to stand up on the offensive end. 
In this game, the Taishan team conceded the first goal in just 7 minutes, and Yokohama Mariner foreign aid Lopes took advantage of the defensive mistakes of the Taishan team to help the team take a 1-0 lead. Lopes has scored two goals in the last three games for Yokohama Marino, and the Tarzan team has clearly been a little careless in their marking of him. In the subsequent game, Taishan defender Shi Ke made many mistakes and almost allowed the Yokohama Mariners to expand the score. Especially the defense when Shi Ke was injured, if it wasn't for Wang Dalei's outstanding performance, the Taishan team would have fallen behind 0-2 early. 
Due to the feeling of not scoring in the offensive end, the defensive pressure of the Taishan team is also very high. The game entered the second half, as the Taishan team's fitness declined, they made a number of defensive mistakes, if it weren't for the Yokohama Mariner forwards, the Taishan team would have conceded more goals in this game. In the 69th minute of the game, Yokohama Mariner Santos kicked a shot with little threat in the penalty area, and Taishan team goalkeeper Wang Dalei misjudged and let the opponent score another goal. Subsequently, Choi Kang-hee made continuous substitution adjustments, and in stoppage time, Chen Pu pulled a goal back. In the end, the Taishan team lost 1-2 at home, and the AFC Champions League was defeated by the Yokohama Mariners 3 times in a row. 
Choi Kang-hee is disappointing? For Taishan coach Choi Kang-hee, losing to the same team three times in a row in the AFC Champions League may not be a good thing. This means that Choi Kang-hee's research on Yokohama sailors is actually a failure. Cui Kangxi's coaching ability is undeniable, but at critical moments, he also has his own coaching shortcomings, and once his shortcomings are thoroughly studied, they are very fatal. 
Of course, for the Tarzan team, the absence of Cressan in this game also has a big impact. It is also hoped that in the second leg, Cressan can return in time to avoid the fourth loss of the Taishan team to the Yokohama Marinos.
