Shandong Taishan performed well in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup last season. First of all, the team finished second in the league and reached the final of the AFC Cup. Unfortunately, Taishan did not win the AFC Cup final against Shenhua as they had hoped. On the contrary, Taishan lost to the average Shenhua in the F.A.C.A. Cup final and missed the championship. As a result, Taishan coach Choi Kang-hee was also very frustrated.
To that end, Choi Kang-hee has begun signing early reinforcements in the hopes of feeling ashamed next season. First of all, Choi Kang-hee looked at Zeca and Bako to join him in terms of Taishan's foreign reinforcements. Naturally, Zeca and Bako would not refuse to play for Taishan. These two K-League powerhouses have now officially returned to the team, and Taishan will join hands in the AFC Champions League knockout rounds.
In terms of local signings, Taishan locked in Zheng Dalun, Bi Jinhao, Peng Xinli, Gao Junyi and other trump cards. It is worth mentioning that there were rumors that Taishan would core Chen Zhechao news from Meizhou Hakka, which should be untrue. Chen Zhechao himself is Luneng eliminated unwanted players. He is the 95 years team's best youth training players, just out of the time is really regarded as the key training object by the Shandong team.
Chen Zhechao is the double captain of Luneng 95 youth team and national team, and his ability is highly appreciated by professionals. However, Chen Zhechao was not reused in the first team of Luneng. Therefore, Chen Zhechao had no choice but to leave the team and move to Guangzhou R&F and Meizhou Hakka. It was not until he joined Meizhou Hakka that Chen Zhechao gradually became a starter in the Chinese Super League and performed well.
Chen Zhechao could be the centerpiece of Meizhou Hakka, which means his traits are only suited for a relegation team in the Chinese Super League. If Chen Zhechao does return to Taishan, he may not be able to get consistent playing time. Therefore, even if Chen Zhechao receives an offer from Taishan, he will not choose to return to work for his old employer. Chen Zhechao still wants to play a solid starting role at Meizhou Hakka and help the team achieve good results in the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup in the new season, so that he can pick up a big role soon.
