As things stand, it has become an almost impossible task for Taishan to get out of the doldrums and back to being a championship team in a short period of time. The club now has only two choices, either to fire Choi Kang-hee's squid and let the Korean coach leave, or to start vigorously overhauling the team and clearing out players who are focused on doing things and not on the game.
Obviously, the club cannot fire him now unless Cui Kangxi resigns himself. With old Choi gone, who will lead the team? Halfway through the league season, the team has a lot of problems, and there is no reliable coach to pick up the Taishan team's mess. However, local coaches like Zhou Haibin and Han Peng are too young to take on the heavy responsibility of leading the team out of the doldrums.
Therefore, Taishan FC can only adjust the team by cleaning players now. From the current practical point of view, naturalized striker Fernando is the first to be cleaned by Taishan. Fernando joined Shandong Taishan at the beginning of last season. At that time, he hadn't played officially for two years. It was Taishan who helped him regain his form bit by bit. Now the "little motorcycle" just played a little bit of results, and began to "devil". Players with this kind of professional attitude must be cleaned up.
In addition, Taishan's several "glass body" foreign aid must also be sent away. After joining the team for a whole year, Pato only scored 4 goals for Taishan, and now the club has canceled the registration quota for foreign aid in the Chinese Super League. Jadason, who recently ruptured his cruciate ligament, is also a target of the club's cleanup.
Despite making a huge contribution to Taishan winning the Chinese Super League title in the 2022 season, Jadason is simply too injury-prone and will have to rest for months at a time, a knee injury that has essentially put him out of action and a foreigner registration slot that the club will have to withdraw.
In addition, Bi Jinhao and Peng Xinli, who were brought in by Choi Kangxi's leader this season, should also clean up the team as soon as possible. These two veterans did not play their proper roles after joining Taishan, but instead dragged the team down. What's more, Bi Jinhao and Peng Xinli have occupied valuable positions in Taishan's two first-team squads, depriving many promising young players of the chance to play in the Chinese Super League with Taishan.
If the duo remain on the team, it will only slow down the process of the team's transition from old to new, which is detrimental to Tarzan's future development, right?
