In last night's highlight match, Shandong Taishan showed strong strength and good athletic condition by defeating Qingdao West Coast with an overwhelming score of 4-0 on the road. After the match, in order to cope with the upcoming intensive schedule, Taishan team did not choose to return to Jinan immediately, but after a night's rest in Qingdao, they departed directly to Nantong today to make final preparations for Sunday's league match.
Meanwhile, Taishan's newest addition, Marcel, is also preparing for his debut in earnest. The 190cm tall center back, after arriving in Jinan on July 15, quickly passed the team's physical examination and began recovery training at the Taishan base. The addition of Marcel is seen as an important addition to the Taishan squad for the center back position, especially considering that starting center back Jadson will be out for a long time due to injury.
After weighing the pros and cons, Choi's coaching staff decided to drop Kayo and sign Marcel instead. The former left back of Brazilian league side Itoano has high hopes for Taishan due to his excellent physical condition and high attendance rate, although his overall stats in the center back position are a bit different from the original starter Jadson. It is reported that Marcel will wear Taishan's No. 3 jersey and hold down the back for the team in the upcoming matches.
For the upcoming match against Nantong on the 21st, Marcel is expected to make his debut for Taishan. This is certainly an exciting time for fans to witness the newcomer's performance on the field. With the addition of Marcel, Taishan's defense will be further strengthened and the team's overall strength will be enhanced. In the coming matches, Taishan will continue to work hard to achieve better results in the league.
