The Yokohama Marino's preparation for the competition is not only about the strategic and mental aspects, but also on technical training and teamwork. Colwill has said that they will follow the season plan and play the way they are familiar, which means that the team will play to their usual technical characteristics and teamwork. In response to Shandong Taishan's specific strategy, Yokohama Mariners may improve their accuracy in ball control and passing, as well as their speed in the transition between attack and defence, to ensure that they can effectively deal with the opponent's defensive counter-attacks.
Despite Colwill and his team's preparations, the uncertainty of the game meant they needed to make quick strategic adjustments and real-time responses during the game.

For Shandong Taishan, although the team's overall defense was considered deficient by the outside world, the fans' trust in coach Choi Kang-hee, as well as his defensive and quick counter-attacking tactics emphasized before the game, gave the team confidence. Shandong Taishan not only faced confrontation on the field, but also questions about their defensive ability from the outside world. This requires the team to show stronger fighting and team spirit than usual in the game, and respond to external doubts with actual performances. Choi Kang-hee's strategy and sideline command will be the key to Shandong Taishan overcoming difficulties and achieving its goals.
