Choi Kang-hee said how else to ask for the players
In the latest end of an AFC Champions League knockout round quarterfinals, the home game of Shandong Taishan Club finally lost 1:2 to the Yokohama Mariners, this game for Shandong Taishan team is still quite a big blow, the home team was not able to win the opponent, for the team's away trip will have a more important impact. This is the third consecutive loss of Shandong Taishan Club to the old opponent of Yokohama Mariners this season, before the group stage we lost to the opponent in two legs, but the performance of the group stage has been pressed by the opponent to play different, this game in a number of positive data, Shandong Taishan Club is ahead of the opponent, for example, in the number of shots, Shandong team is 20:15 ahead of the opponent, it can be said that it occupies a certain advantage. Why did you lose this game?
On the one hand, the team's injury problems, such as the Brazilian high school striker Zeka that Cui Kangxi relies on, including the team's top scorer in the past two seasons, Kress, have no way to start in this game, and Zeka has no way to play, which has a great impact on the team's attack line, including the high-altitude bombing tactics that Shandong Taishan team likes to play, because the height of these two brother center forwards is a high school forward of 1.90 meters, which has a very big advantage for the short Japanese team. So it's really troublesome for them not to play.
There is another reason that cannot be ignored, and that is the referee of this game. The omission of a penalty can be said to have a very important impact on the trend of the whole game, this is not the first time that Chinese football has encountered an unfair penalty in this year, and I am afraid that it will be encountered in the following games.
After the game, a reporter also asked Cui Kangxi to evaluate the referee of the game. Cui Kangxi was also blunt and expressed his opinion: If a situation happens one after another, it is either accidental, or someone deliberately did it, I have been in the AFC Champions League final three times, and I know the situation here very well, especially against the Japanese team. Then he stopped speaking about the referee, perhaps because he was afraid that he would be punished if he said too much! Choi Kang-hee received a yellow card in the game, and this is also the second time he has received a yellow card in the AFC Champions League this season, according to the rules of the game, Choi Kang-hee is already going to be automatically banned for one game, if there is disrespectful language to the referee, maybe the ban will continue.
The referee issue is also a helpless matter. But what Choi Kang-hee mentioned, some things happened one after another, that is, some people deliberately did it, including what he said, especially when playing a Japanese team, what are these problems. I'm sure everyone knows very well, but these things are not something we can control. All we can control is to prepare for the second leg, including a Chinese Super League game against Beijing Guoan before that.
The next two games will be very important for the Shandong Taishan team, which is also the first hurdle encountered by the Shandong Taishan club after the start of the new season, two matches a week, and the level of both teams is very high, I hope that the Shandong Taishan team can tide over these two difficulties, otherwise the season's schedule may not be very smooth.
