23rd October News - In the third round of the AFC Champions League Elite, Taishan drew 2-2 with Yokohama Marinos, refusing to be defeated for the fifth time by their opponents, according to an article in "Football Weekly". The article states that Taishan's 4 points in the first three rounds is an acceptable result.

When Matheus scored in the 86th minute to change the score to 2-1, Taishan fans were disheartened, thinking they were about to be defeated again by their opponents. But Taishan's players did not give up. In the second minute of injury time, Peng Xinli made a desperate save, Zheng Zheng's header hit the crossbar, and then he bravely headed the ball into the net, leveling the score for Taishan. After four consecutive defeats to Yokohama Marinos, Taishan refused to be defeated for the fifth time with their tenacity and never-give-up spirit.

In this game, Taishan head coach Cui Kangxi was banned by the AFC and was unable to command the game from the substitute bench. However, he still arranged the tactics, starting lineup, and personnel adjustments. Tang Tian also revealed that the team made arrangements during the halftime break, which had an effect.

Looking back at the whole game, the two goals conceded by Taishan exposed their defensive problems, which was a concern before the match. Compared with the beginning of the season, Taishan's biggest issue is their defense. After the game, Zheng Zheng, who scored the equalizer, talked about his thoughts after being overtaken by the opponent. He said, "After being overtaken, we always wanted to fight back and hoped for an acceptable result."

A 2-2 draw with Yokohama Marinos is an acceptable result based on the course of the game. Considering the history of the clashes between the two teams, a draw is even more precious, as Taishan had lost all four previous matches against Yokohama Marinos. In the process of four consecutive defeats, Taishan lost by only one goal three times, which was slightly regrettable. However, the reality is that apart from the possibility of a draw in the first group match, it was almost impossible for Taishan to earn points in other matches.

Objectively speaking, in the post-Jin Yuan football era, the competitiveness of Chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League has significantly declined. However, with a tenacious fighting spirit and effective tactical responses, they can still achieve good results, just like Taishan reached the quarterfinals last season. The team's consistent performance with the AFC Champions League as their top priority and giving their all has gained recognition from Taishan fans.

In the first three rounds of the AFC Champions League Elite, Taishan have achieved a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, earning 4 points. This result can be considered acceptable. In theory, if they can earn around 10 points in the next 8 matches, their chances of advancing to the next round will be relatively high.
