The opening of the Chinese Super League (CSL) transfer window has been delayed again, from February 1 to February 20, which means that the CSL will have to wait until mid-April at the earliest, leaving the team with enough time for winter training. Shandong Taishan team already has a winter training program, 5 days after February 6, Taishan team will officially start winter training, the original plan to go to Dubai winter training, but now the team canceled the plan, changed to Guangzhou winter training, Shandong Taishan team is the early winter training team in the Chinese Super League.
Taishan finished the FA Cup final on January 15, which meant the team had only 20 days of vacation, the least of any team in the Chinese Super League. During this winter training, Taishan team had their first appearance in the winter window with their internal player Tong Lei, who followed the team in the winter training. Tong Lei was the only player who decided to join Shandong Taishan team. There were rumors that players such as Sun Guowen and Zhong Yihao would be difficult to join, but the Shandong Taishan team was relatively attractive.January 31st was the deadline set by the Football Association for repayment of salary arrears, but there seems to be no other news.
Tong Lei can be the starting right back for Shandong Taishan, both in terms of age and ability. When the Chinese Super League lineup was young, Taishan did the opposite and still had 30+ players as the core of the team, and Tong Lei's addition could change that. He joined freely and has not trained systematically for the past almost half a year, so winter training is very crucial for Tong Lei to get back to match form as soon as possible, the
Recently, Dailin and Wu Xinghan, who stood in the limelight, will not be affected, and they will participate in winter training normally. However, this time, Shandong Taishan team will rectify the atmosphere of the team to avoid this situation from happening again. In this winter training, there will be a large number of young players entering the first team for training. Hao Wei will investigate and select young players who can make the roster next season. Players such as Xie Wenneng will also return. The winter training and transfer period is two months, leaving enough time for Shandong Taishan to investigate seven foreign players.
Currently, the foreigners under contract with Shandong Taishan include Fellaini, Sun Junho, Moises, Jadson, Kressan, Delgado and Lennardo. The return of several players to the team will be delayed for some time, and Shandong Taishan is also investigating other new foreigners, which is a much more cumbersome process as the foreigners are now under contract for their next home, which could free up the foreigner quota to sign new foreigners, and Taishan will need at least one outside shooter, with the championship rival Harbour having a much more luxurious attacking group.
The Shandong Taishan team will be on the cusp of the storm after the training, and it will be inevitable that which players participated in the winter training, and which did not, will become the new center of attention. The Taishan signings continue and Tong Lei is just a small attempt to bring in a large number of strong international players until the Chinese Super League starts to come in and there will be more teams disbanded or in crisis, so Shandong Taishan can capitalize on the fishermen. The Chinese Football Association has announced the future game plan for the national team, which means that the national team roster will be announced soon. Taishan, as a big international player, will not be too complete in winter training, which is a problem every year.
