After winning the quarter-finals of the AFC Cup, Shandong Taishan team celebrated the victory and had a rare vacation time. The players of Taishan team cherished this short vacation. Starting from the 15th of this month, they will play 6 consecutive matches, one every three days, and will also travel to the Philippines. This is a very tough test for them.
According to the news released by Taishan players, the two foreigners, Cressan and Moises, chose to bring their families to Singapore for a vacation. They not only enjoyed the food and beautiful scenery, but also appreciated the local customs. Pato has just recovered from his injury and came to Beijing with the team in the FA Cup, scoring a key goal in the penalty shootout. Pato chose to stay in Beijing for the tour. In the past two days, he and his wife came to the Great Wall and went to the Beijing Universal Theme Park Resort.
Jadason is the most dedicated of these foreigners. Lao Jia chose to return to Jinan as he had a heavy cold and missed the crucial match against Beijing Guoan. He has already started training at the club's base. Jadson has missed many games this season due to injury and FA penalties, but Old Jia's dedication and professionalism goes without saying, if there are no good domestic center backs to add in the future, or keep him. As long as Jia Desong is around, he is the lynchpin of Taishan's backfield, and can occasionally play as a guest center forward, so players can still contribute to the team.
