Tactical Story

Taishan Urban Construction set up in an aggressive 4-3-3 formation, using full-backs to overload the flanks and midfield runners to exploit gaps.

Dongying’s 5-4-1 shape hoped to contain but could not cope with Taishan’s movement and speed of passing.

On the ball, Taishan played with fluidity: wingers interchanged positions, the central midfielder often dropped deep to orchestrate play, and the striker’s hold-up play allowed others to join attacks. Defensively, they were compact and disciplined, snuffing out any counter-threats before they developed.
