In the later stage of the golden era of football, until now, it can be said that since the fall of Guangzhou (Evergrande) Team, the CSL has almost entered a troubled era.
There are many reasons for this, such as the formulation of various new rules of the Football Association (neutral name, share reform), the major clubs' unwillingness to pursue results due to survival, competition system, and so on.
It's easy to make heroes in troubled times! For all the strong players in the CSL, who can maintain stable investment at this time will basically achieve good results.
For the Shandong Taishan team, it ushered in a rare opportunity to climb the peak. After all, the capital market led by Guangzhou Evergrande has suppressed the team too much in the past decade. In terms of stability and the team's hard power, Shandong Taishan is one of the top giants in the league.
However, since the 2021 season, the script seems to be playing according to everyone's expectations.
In that year, Shandong Taishan played a long lost strength, almost sweeping all the marquis, and finally won the league championship. At the same time, the Football Association Cup defeated Shanghai Harbor, and after many years, it won the double championship again!
I remember that year, the famous football commentators, Mr. Huang Jianxiang and Mr. Xu Yang, expressed their feelings and said frankly: The significance of Taishan Team winning the championship, to some extent, has gone beyond the scope of competitive sports. A few years ago, Chinese football was the capital in exercise After removing the cloak of capital, strength is what people expect.
Shandong has a reasonable allocation of foreign aid, excellent domestic players, a steady supply of youth training supplements, and stable club investment, so it has made such achievements. In the next few seasons, Shandong Taishan is likely to create a new dynasty!
This is not excessive praise, but fact. At least according to the situation at that time, Shandong Taishan has the capital to win the championship continuously.
Guoan often has transfer bans, although the strength is good, the manager's scheduling often becomes a stumbling block to the team's progress; Shanghai Shenhua once reached the brink of collapse, and the team was seriously aging; Each of the major giants has its own headache, and the middle and lower reaches of the team are struggling to survive, and have no intention to care about the record.
The transfer market is in a mess. Compared with the tens of millions of transfers in previous years, even the international players have gone unnoticed these years.
It seems that only Shanghai Harbor is the only strong enemy of Shandong Taishan. However, although going to Hong Kong is not bad, and the strength of domestic players is also good, I was afraid when I met the Taishan team at that time.
Therefore, all kinds of signs show that Shandong Taishan has indeed reached the time to create its own dynasty.
But now, has Mount Tai Team created a dynasty? Have you become the overlord of the CSL? No,
Why not? What happened?
In the second year after winning the Double Crown, the three towns in Wuhan staged the myth of Kaiserslautern, and pulled teeth out of Mount Tai's mouth; Last season, Shanghai Harbor successfully reached the top again.
In fact, in these two seasons, Shandong Taishan has every hope of winning all of them and achieving three consecutive league titles. In the 2022 season, the Taishan team has the same points as the three towns in Wuhan, but the goal difference is at a disadvantage. Unfortunately, it is ranked second. Last season, a large number of objective factors emerged from the beginning of the team. The head coach and players were investigated one after another, and the team fell into a long-term cloud. The team did not want to compete on the field, and the team once hovered in the degradation zone.
Then Cui Kangxi took office, and a strong attack from Mount Taishan in Shandong shocked the Shanghai seaport in a cold sweat. The team had a great hope to complete the counter attack, but the team continued to have injuries in the crucial moment of the continuous road campaign. What is more fatal is that there is also the blending of the Asian Championships group matches. Shanghai Harbor does not want to adjust the schedule, and finally the Taishan team is exhausted and falls in the final stage.
It's a pity that Shandong Taishan failed to win the championship in these two seasons. It is not the lack of strength, not the off court factors, which really become the biggest stumbling block of the team.
Now let's see if Shandong Taishan Team can win the championship this season. The fans have their own answers. They can't help but feel nervous and worried.
After several seasons of relaxation, the major teams have entered the right track. The Shanghai seaport is stronger than before, Muscat's stable coaching has played a role in the team's combat effectiveness. Under the leadership of Slotsky, Shanghai Shenhua has fully developed its rich family background. At present, the team's foreign aid is fully integrated into the team. In addition, the strength of domestic players is good and the age structure is reasonable. Shenhua seems to be a champion.
After the reinforcement, Chengdu Rongcheng has begun to take shape, and it may be too early to win the championship, but it is not a big problem to strive to win an Asian championship seat in the top three. In addition, Beijing Guoan, an old and powerful force, also has a good combat effectiveness.
Therefore, it is not easy for Shandong Taishan to realize the counter attack of last season again this season! Because your opponents are not only one team, but three or four. Even if one team has problems, there are two or three.
More fatally, the team still has two major hidden dangers that are difficult to solve. First, the well-known injury problem, which is also the most troublesome situation of the team at present; Secondly, the club has no money to buy people! The process of share reform is difficult. I don't know whether the club can contribute some funds to the weakness of the team in this summer's transfer window.
Of course, the current league is less than half, and the fate is always in their own hands.
Cui Kangxi is ambitious and firmly believes that Shandong Taishan has the strength to win the championship, but needs the full support of the club, mainly referring to the introduction of personnel.
If Shandong Taishan lost the championship again this season, plus the problems exposed in the previous two seasons, it can be summarized as follows: The team failed to create a dynasty to achieve hegemony, due to some factors of the opponents, and more importantly, it lost to itself.
