Choi Kang-hee himself did not expect to take the Chinese Super League even after Shanghai two teams, and then returned to the Chinese Super League to coach Shandong Taishan. That is the invitation of Taishan team, right? At the end of the day, Lao Cui likes this Chinese Super League team very much. If it were any other club, maybe Cui wouldn't be very interested. In addition to good players, Shandong Taishan's foreigners don't play big names, and as an old Chinese club, Taishan has a rich soccer culture. Cui Kangxi's return to the Chinese Super League is not entirely about making money, but also: righting his name.
Judging by Choi Kang-hee's team building ideas, he is building a Chinese Super League full-fledged Hyundai.In the 2023 season, Choi Kang-hee has a lot to smile about, especially after home wins. Some people say that old Choi can't smile. Old Choi denied it in an interview. He said he would smile and willing to smile. He just watched the game on the field and ignored the smile during the tense game. Of course there were also fans who teased, "Old Cui still doesn't smile, he looks better without it!"
Taishan won three runners-up in 2023. The China Super Cup, Chinese Super League, and AFC Cup were all "second tier". Due to the chaos at the beginning of the season, fans are generally satisfied with Taishan. Comparing the results in terms of strength, it is a pity that the three "second children". Super Cup lost to Wuhan three towns, Hao Wei led the team, has nothing to do with the old Cui. If the league against Zhejiang, Chengdu Rongcheng undefeated, not flat against Dalian people, not sure who will die! Next year, "get back the lost hand"!
The Cup lost the title and failed to get the fourth consecutive title. On one hand, Shanghai Shenhua was really better prepared; on the other hand, Taishan was too tired to play all their starters in a three-front war. In the AFC Champions League, Taishan is likely to be the only team out of the Chinese Super League, which is the shame cloth of Chinese soccer! Next year, fight on three fronts for a domestic double and go far in the AFC Champions League. That would require strengthening, preferably five foreigners + one Asian foreigner. Zeca is the equivalent of Kim Shin-wook. What about Kaza? Replace Moises.
Zeca is technically versatile and good against the run of play. The front-end is also desperately needed by the Taishan team, and Kaza is the front-end that Taishan is pursuing. Compared with Zeca, Kaza has more competitors. Many teams in the Chinese Super League are interested in Kazaa and are superior to Taishan in terms of player treatment. Taishan's biggest advantage is Lao Cui, followed by the championship. Also, will Taishan strengthen the back or center back? If 26 year old Baek Sung-ho can come to Grip, he can replace Son Jun-ho, who has a tougher back, which is perfect!
What number jersey does Zeca wear for Tarzan when he arrives? Of course, number 9 is the best fit for his position, but it's unlikely that Cressan will give up the number 9 jersey. There is always a "first come, first served"! As a new foreigner, it won't be easy to take the number 9 from Klassan. Most likely, Zeca will take Son's #19! Kaze wore #8 at Ulsan Hyundai. Now Pato at Taesan #8 should let go. If it takes time to prove that Kazaa wears #10, #7 would be a good choice.
