The quarter-final battle of the AFC Champions League is coming, and Shandong Taishan, who is fighting on two fronts, will face the old rival Yokohama Mariners at home. In the face of this opponent who killed himself in the group stage, Li Yuanyi, the core of the Taishan team's midfield, said that the Taishan team's goal in this game is one: to win the opponent.
In the AFC Champions League group stage, the Taishan team lost 0-1 at home, in fact, the two sides were basically a draw in that game, but if you are lucky, one of Cressan's two goalposts becomes a goal, and the Taishan team has a chance to win the opponent. As for the 0-3 defeat in the second game, Fellaini and Moises had already left the team at that time, and the Taishan team was at a low point in terms of strength and momentum, and the loss to 0-3 was actually a way for the opponent to survive. But for the Yokohama sailors, their approach may be the equivalent of letting the tiger go home. The cross-season Taishan team is definitely not the original Shandong Taishan under the changes in personnel and playing style.
At the pre-match press conference, Taishan coach Cui Kangxi mentioned two points on how to play this game, the first is to do a good job of defense, Yokohama Mariner is actually very different from Kawasaki Frontale on the offensive end, Yokohama Mariner's offense is very dependent on their front-court three foreign aid combination No. 7 Elbe, No. 11 Lopez, No. 20 Matthews, especially No. 7 Elbe, fast and very capable of drilling. The cultivation between the three is very skillful. The attack is fast and threatening, and the three goals conceded by the Tarzan away team came from these three people.
Second, Choi Kang-hee mentioned that the attack should be more rapid, and the most important thing is to show our characteristics. The biggest change in the Taishan team this season is actually the acceleration of the offensive end, in the AFC Champions League, the Taishan team through the speed, the strong Kawasaki Frontale eliminated, the head held high close to the AFC Champions League quarterfinals, in the Super League schedule, Taishan with the speed of the home 4-2 victory over Yatai, to achieve a good start in the Super League. In these three games, the refreshing thing about the Taishan team is that Cui Kangxi completely got rid of the stereotype that he could only play as a high striker, and built the Taishan team into a light cavalry that has always been fast-paced.
Coincidentally, the Yokohama Mariner coach also said in his pre-match press conference that tomorrow's game will be a very fast-paced game. The two sides coincide to play a matchup with fast and fast, and the excitement of this game should be able to reach the S level. For the fans, there should be a blessing for the eyes. Should I say it or not, the Super League schedule should learn from the Taishan team to speed up. Otherwise, our football and world football will always be two sports.
In the pre-match press conference, Choi Kang-hee also mentioned Cressan, who has been in good form recently, Choi Kang-hee said: "Cressan has been in good form recently, he likes to be relatively free, and he can rotate positions with his teammates, so he will put him in the second offensive line. ”
The Taishan team's ability to fight on both fronts has a lot to do with the excellent performance of the team's thigh-level foreign aid Cressan, who has scored three goals in three games. He is also currently the top scorer in the AFC Champions League with 8 goals. There are ** even listed him as the first foreign aid in the current Chinese Super League. This is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is enough to show Cressan's status in the Tarzan team. Especially in the absence of new foreign aid Zeka, the overall tactical changes of the Taishan team are indeed carried out around Cressan, and it is obvious that Cui Kangxi has found Cressan's instruction manual. This is why the Taishan team is now sharper offensive, Cressan and the new foreign aid of the Taishan team, Wako, formed an offensive combination and did not lose to the front court offensive trident of the Yokohama Mariners.
Cressan, who has just completed the long-term contract renewal, should be the best period in terms of heart and state, and it is obvious that he has a sense of belonging in the Taishan team, and he said that the appointment with the captain of Taishan is a joint decision between him and his family, and hopes that he will continue to move forward with the Taishan team with his head held high.
