According to Shandong media Tai'an Daily, Shandong Taishan team has been re-centralized on the 8th, three consecutive guests after the interval. According to the schedule, Shandong Taishan will face Changchun Yatai on October 20th. Currently, Shandong Taishan is 8 points behind Shanghai Harbor. If Harbour beat Beijing Guoan in the next round, they will lock the Chinese Super League title two rounds ahead of schedule. With the title in the doldrums, Shandong Taishan will likely focus on the FA Cup or the AFC Champions League group stage.
Taishan's record has soared since Choi Kang-hee took charge of the club. The Korean coach has effectively revamped Shandong Taishan, with players including Xie Nengwen, Li Yuanyi and Jia Feifan getting enough playing time to prove themselves. In terms of foreigners, Fellaini recently reached a termination agreement with Taishan, while midfielder Moises and striker Pato may be dropped by Taishan due to their age and form. Moises is 36 years old and certainly not a long-term plan for Taishan, while Pato, who joined Taishan, has not been recognized by Taishan's coaching staff for his performances with Indonesia's Golden Boot. Choi Kang-hee may adjust Shandong Taishan's internal and external assistance in the off-season to help Shandong Taishan win back the league title
Sun Guowen, who joined Taishan from Dalian People this summer, can be described as a high start. At the beginning of the league, Sun Guowen once occupied a starting position and was successfully selected for the national football training team. However, with the deepening of the schedule, Sun Guowen gradually became a marginal player of Shandong Taishan, and was abandoned by the head coach of the national football team Yang Kovich. According to a domestic authoritative media report, Shandong Taishan intends to loan Sun Guowen to his old boss Dalian Ren. However, the relegation situation of Dalian Ren is grim at the moment, sharing the same points with Nantong Zhiyun and ranking first only by goal difference. In the last three rounds, we will face two Chinese Super League teams, Wuhan Sanzhen and Shanghai Port. Personally, I think Sun would not want to commit himself to the Central League if Dalian Yan were to be relegated. If the Dalian side escapes and gets relegated, Sun will probably be willing to return to Dalian and join his mentor Xie Hui again!
In terms of foreigners, Shandong Taishan are likely to reorganize their midfield with the departure of Fellaini. Last season, the Chinese Super League's assist king Moises is likely to be swept away by Choi Kang-hee. Moises, who left Shandong Taishan, will likely remain in the Chinese Super League next season. Recently, many media outlets reported that Moises, who left Shandong Taishan, may join another Chinese Super League giant, Beijing Guoan. Guoan brought in two longtime Euroleague players, Ademi and De Souza, this season. However, their performances have not been satisfactory and Ademi has returned to his old club Dinamo Zagreb. De Souza has also returned to Brazil to regain his health and will probably not return to Beijing Guoan next season. Guoan's midfield signings end in failure
The foreign aid from Europe obviously cannot adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League and Guoan's tactical system. The senior management of Guoan's music department may change their minds about signing a foreigner who is familiar with the Chinese Super League and the ability to organize Guoan in advance. Personally, apart from the seniors, Moises is an ideal candidate for Guoan's signing, and the centerpiece of Taishan's midfield is likely to be a part of Beijing Guoan's squad next season.
