From "three kills" to "complete defeat", Taishan caused tragedy at home

Reporter Chen Yong reports In the 2024 season, Shandong Taishan once created a brilliant record of three kills in Chengdu Rongcheng, but in the first leg of this season, the Taishan team suffered a 0-3 defeat, not only at the score level, but also including the use of personnel, defense, offense, and more importantly, the complete defeat at the mental level. For the fans, the defeat was not unacceptable, but this all-round defeat was indeed disappointing, and such a complete defeat also cast a thick shadow on the prospects of the Tarzan team.

In this game, Taishan team Wu Xinghan and Gao Zhunyi were injured, and the right fullback faced a situation where no one was available, in which case the head coach Cui Kangxi chose the teenager Shi Songchen. The starting lineup of the Taishan team is: goalkeeper Wang Dalei, defenders Liu Yang, Zheng Zheng, Kazar and Shi Songchen, defenders Peng Xinli and Li Yuanyi, and the attacking combination of Xie Wenneng, Chen Pu, Cressan and Zeka in the frontcourt.

After the start of the game, Chengdu Rongcheng quickly entered the game state, and in just 5 minutes of the opening game, Chengdu Rongcheng's attack tore through the defense of the Taishan team. This lost goal, and after Yuan Mincheng inserted it, there was no defense.

It is worth noting that the Taishan team actually did not have a lot of defenders in the process of conceding the goal, and all 9 players except Zeka returned to the half to defend.

It is worth noting that in this game, Cui Kangxi's task for Shi Songchen is not a pure right fullback, his task is more to keep an eye on Wei Shihao, for example, when Wei Shihao retreats to the backfield, Shi Songchen's position also follows Wei Shihao, when Wei Shihao swims to the middle, Shi Songchen will also leave the side and follow the middle, at this time, the defense on the right side will be handed over to Xie Wenneng, and Shi Songchen is not in the position of right back when the Taishan team loses the ball. It's a bit more difficult for a player to play at right-back.

In first-half stoppage time, the Tarzan team conceded another goal and fell behind 0-2 at half-time. In the first half of the game, the Tarzan team had only 2 shots on goal, while the opponent was as high as 8. In terms of possession, the Taishan team is also only 43.7%, which is far lower than the opponent.

In the second half, Choi Kang-hee made personnel adjustments, Kazaishvili and Madruga replaced Xie Wenneng and Peng Xinli, but the situation of the game did not change substantially, and the Taishan team conceded another goal in the second half.

So far, the Taishan team has fallen behind 0-3 in two consecutive games, and although the last game against Meizhou Hakka was reversed by four goals, this time the Taishan team did not score a goal in the end. In the game, the Tarzan team once won a penalty, but Maimaitijiang canceled the penalty after watching the video replay, judging from the slow motion, this goal is indeed reluctant if the penalty is awarded.

In this game, the Taishan team shot 10 to 19, but the number of shots on target was 2 to 8, only 1/4 of Chengdu Rongcheng, including corner kicks, and the Taishan team also fell behind 6 to 11.

This is a complete defeat in terms of employment, offense, defense and mental outlook, especially at home, which is even more unacceptable to fans. At the same time, the Tarzan team quickly conceded goals after the opening of two consecutive games.

After the game, Choi Kang-hee summed up the game as follows: "After the game against Meizhou, the players have not recovered and are very tired, but they still do their best to play. I take full responsibility as a manager for this defeat. Talking about Peng Xinli and Shi Songchen, Cui Kangxi said: "Peng Xinli is an important player in the team, he and Li Yuanyi are the best midfielders in terms of organizational ability and defensive ability, and Shi Songchen has played right back in winter training. As for conceding early in two consecutive games, Choi Kang-hee said: "Before the game started, it was emphasized not to concede first, but after the opening game, the wing defense was not in place, and the players did not return to normal form. ”

"The amount of sweat you put in, the reward you get. Last year, I faced the Taishan team three times, and the results were very regrettable. It's not just a team win, it's thanks to our fans. Xu Zhengyuan said after the game. Talking about the reason for the victory, Xu Zhengyuan believes that the key is that Rongcheng controlled the rhythm of the game: "Although the players of the Taishan team are very capable, I believe that if you control the rhythm, you can win, and I also told the players before the game that the key to the game is to control the two penalty kicks." ”

After the home defeat, the prospect of the Taishan team this season has also been overshadowed, the fans' confidence in the team has dropped significantly, including the team's self-confidence has also declined across the board, for Shandong Taishan Football Club and the coaching staff of the Taishan team, the current situation must be reversed as soon as possible, otherwise, the situation of falling behind at the beginning of the season is by no means alarmist.
