At present, Shandong Taishan team restarted training, although the foreign aid is not returned to the team for the time being, but if you want to achieve good results in the remaining matches, the performance of domestic players is crucial. The foreigners are only a small part of the team, and it is the improvement of the whole team that is crucial. With the departure of Fellaini and the likely departure of Moises, there will definitely be a major overhaul of the team's foreigner setup next season. Let's not forget we also have loaned out foreigners who need to be optimized as well. Considering replacing Leonardo with Pato is also an option. Even though the Super League target has been reached, the current second place position is not solid and we urgently need to update our fullbacks, with the return of Gao Zhunyi being feasible.
Shandong Taishan team although this season in the entire Chinese Super League is the team that conceded the fewest goals, but the team's back line is not without problems, the biggest problem is that the age of the main players aging, there is no qualified replacement, the replacement and the main strength of the gap is too large. Especially the center back position is very serious. Although there are Zheng Zheng, Shi Ke and Jia Desong, who can attack and defend, they will be 100 years old. Such a defensive line is at least doing well in the Chinese Super League, but such a defensive line is OK in the Chinese Super League, but in the Asian Champions League, it's a big leak, full of holes.
Shandong Taishan's backline was sifted out of the game against Yokohama Mariners in the league league. If it wasn't for the high and low blocking of goalkeeper Wang Dalei, Shandong Taishan would have lost more than just one goal. As a result, Shandong Taishan had to bring in a relatively older, stronger, and best international center back in the backline, and Gao Junyi fit the bill perfectly. Although he was not satisfied with the Shandong Taishan team in the past, for Choi Kang-hee, he only focuses on the player's ability and attitude. As long as he can improve the Shandong Taishan team, anything is possible.
Now, the FA Cup remains the team's best hope of winning the title. However, for Shandong Taishan, although Shandong Taishan is now second in the league, this is not stable. Although Cui Kangxi's goal is to get into the top three, who wouldn't want to go farther? Right now Shandong Taishan is only three points away from Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang for third and fourth place, which means a one-game difference. Now Shandong Taishan is the only third-tier team in the Chinese Super League, so Shandong Taishan is at a disadvantage in terms of schedule and physicality.
Second place in the league is not safe. If you're not careful, you're likely to fall out of the top three. In three games, you can play anything. However, for Choi Kang-hee, whose character is to never give up and never give up on every game, the players and coaches must be united in their thinking. Both Fellaini and Moises are likely to leave this season, so Shandong Taishan will surely make major changes to their foreign aid for next season, and most welcome is the fact that everyone wants Leonardo to come back, but right now everyone doesn't recognize Pato's ability.
There is news that Shandong Taishan team plans to exchange Leonardo with Pato, and bring Leonardo back to Shandong Taishan team next season, while Shandong Taishan team will loan Pato to Zhejiang, and leave the position to introduce a better foreign aid, which can be regarded as a good solution for Shandong Taishan team to optimize the foreign aid. Maybe Pato can burst into talent in the new team like Leonardo now.
