At 18:00 on October 2nd, in the second round of the Asian Elite Cup, Vissel Kobe will host Shandong Taishan at their home ground. Before the match, media personality Elric Ai wrote about this game.
Elric Ai wrote: Tonight, Mikuni Park Stadium is set to welcome its first “legitimate” AFC Champions League match. Previously, Kobe’s two participations were relocated to the Middle East due to pandemic-related reasons. The only pre-pandemic match, a 5-1 victory against Johor, was later invalidated due to the opponent’s withdrawal. Therefore, strictly speaking, the ice has yet to be broken here.
It can be anticipated that Kobe will still field a rotated squad, however, Kobe’s counter-attacking tactics are pragmatic, and the bench players have had no shortage of playing time in the league. Additionally, the 0-0 draw in the first round will also put some pressure on the team for points, hence there are still more favorable factors.
