Reporter Niu Zhiming revealed that Shandong Taishan will reconvene the whole team on October 8 to prepare for the Chinese Super League and Asian Champions League.
After the Yokohama Mariners' AFC Champions League match, the players will enter a four-day break. On the eighth day, the Taishan squad will regroup with the vast majority of players returning to train with the team.
As has been the case in the past, the foreigners should have a relatively long vacation, especially with Fellaini, Moises and other recent consecutive veterans needing a longer time to recover and adjust.
Starting on the 20th, Taishan played three consecutive away games in 10 days. From Changchun to Incheon to Shanghai, Taishan's lineup needs to be rotated and adjusted. By then, the team's lineup will undergo new changes.
Between the 7th and 17th, Chen Pu, Wang Dalei and Liu Yang were selected for the national team, while Abdul Meat Suli, Xie Wenneng, Jia Feifan and Yu Jinyong participated in Olympic training. In other words, the Taishan team won't be completely complete until the 18th.
