Shandong Taishan currently have seven foreign aiders and need someone to leave, with Lennardo, whose loan has expired, returning to China this week, according to reporter Niu Zhiming.
On February 20th, Shandong Taishan players continued to train at the base, the local players' lineup is relatively complete, and the foreign aiders haven't returned to the team yet. If Delgado can only play as a foreigner in the new season, he will be the first "foreigner" to return to the team. With Meifeleni, Sun Junhao, Jadson, Moises and Cressan having signed their contracts, and Leonardo returning from loan to China this week, the Taishan club will theoretically have seven foreign players.
The foreign aid rules for the new Chinese Super League season are the same as last season, with five foreign aiders still enrolled and four foreign aiders enrolled at the same time, which means that at least two foreign aiders are unavailable for the Taishan team. Looking at the team's squad configuration, the positions of Cressan, Moises and Son Junho are stable, so how to choose the other four has become a bright spot.
According to Niu's analysis, the direction of Taishan's foreigner adjustment should be clear, i.e. rejuvenation. Fellaini is too old and his stay is key, Lennardo and Delgado are of the same age, but whether they get the chance to stay is still full of variables.
According to the arrangement, Taishan's foreign aid will return one after another at the end of February or the beginning of March, when there will be a final answer to the question of foreign aid left behind. It is worth mentioning that Taishan will participate in the AFC Championship in the new season. The overall strength of the foreign aid is very important. Only if the foreign aid remains competitive enough, Taishan can make a bigger breakthrough in the Asian Championship.
