On July 26th, Shandong Taishan officially announced that their head coach, Choi Kang-hee, would return to South Korea for treatment due to illness.
In response, media person Xu Jiang wrote on social media: “After losing 0-6 to Shanghai Shenhua, back in Jinan, he started militarized management, requiring players to have three meals a day, and they must gather first and go to the dining hall together. Players who were previously training off-site also had to eat breakfast together.
Training? Still the same, wasn’t it said that one and a half players were injured? Wu Xinghan was half-injured, Tong Lei was injured, and then there were more personnel reductions! Later, Wu Xinghan was in the starting lineup, but was replaced during the game, and this was the reason.
These things have been happening for half a month, and they haven’t been publicly discussed, just hoping that the team would absorb the negative emotions on their own.
Why is Old Choi doing this? I personally believe that Old Choi is creating conflict, manufacturing emotional conflict, aiming to achieve player resistance, poor results, club termination, and the purpose of getting compensation money and leaving. Fortunately, the last two opponents were not strong, drawing with Hai Niu and winning against Nantong.
Additionally, the departure of Ji Xiang and Song Long, personnel changes are understandable, but the two-faced nature of people reveals the coldness of the world. When he came last year, Old Choi invited four veterans to dinner, and at the banquet, he said all sorts of good things, saying that the veterans were the cornerstone of the team. After renewing their contracts at the end of the year, this year he directly changed his face, Ji Xiang and Song Long were not even allowed to go to the training ground, nor were they allowed to use the gym with the team, ultimately forcing them to leave early. Subsequently, with no major conflicts, he sent off “Moto.”
As a result, this season’s 35-man roster, by the end of training sessions, couldn’t even gather 22 players for a scrimmage, it was Wen Hu who filled in the numbers, can you imagine?
Temporarily leaving due to illness at this time is actually a very clever choice, because Shandong’s next two opponents are Henan and Shanghai SIPG. Leaving for two weeks perfectly avoids these two games that they would likely lose.
