From recent matches, Shandong Taishan's tactical setup showcases remarkable flexibility and effectiveness. Coach Deng Hua has utilized different formations to make the team more threatening on the pitch. Particularly, their swift transitions between offense and defense have left opponents struggling to keep up.

In the match against Hebei, Shandong Taishan adopted a 4-3-3 formation, with forward He Bingzhuang utilizing his speed and individual skill on the left wing. He launched several quick counterattacks and established a solid connection with the defense, creating numerous scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, mid-fielder Chen Zeshi acted as the orchestrator, ensuring continuity in the team's attacking plays.

On the defensive side, Shandong Taishan frequently switched back to a more solid 4-2-3-1 setup. This formation effectively alleviates pressure on the defense; especially against opposing teams' strong offenses, Liu Qiwei and his teammates can quickly regroup and launch counterattacks to create more opportunities.

this season's tactical arrangements have focused on ball control and high pressing. This style not only stabilizes possession during the match but also enables the team to launch fierce attacks in the opponent's half. If Shandong Taishan can continue maintaining this tactical approach in upcoming matches, they are likely to display formidable strength moving forward.
