A few days ago, according to domestic media reports, Shandong Taishan, which is preparing for the FA Cup final, has frequent good news about lineup strengthening in the new season. First of all, Taishan has renewed the contract with the core of the midfield, Moises. This season, Moises has achieved very eye-catching results on behalf of Taishan in the Chinese Super League. In addition to contributing 16 assists to the team, he also got 13 goals. As a result, Moises won the league's assists leader and ranked in the top ten in the scorers list.
Such a striking performance by Moises naturally made Taishan start to renew his contract early. In an interview, Moises himself revealed that two West Asian teams had invited him, but he only wanted to stay at Taishan. For this reason, Moises even brought his family to China and agreed to sign the contract extension. The contract extension of Moises made a lot of Shandong fans feel relieved and expect him to continue to bring offensive and defensive performance to Luneng next season.
Taishan also planned ahead in terms of local signings, taking the lead in signing flyhalf Tong Lei. Tong Lei has been particularly impressive in recent seasons, becoming the centerpiece of Dalian's attack and being selected for the national football team. When Tong Lei's contract with Dalian expired, they did not choose to stay with the team. Tong Lei was unwilling to take a pay cut to sign a new contract with Dalian, leading to a direct standoff between the two sides.
Dalian sent Tong Lei directly to the reserve team, resulting in him not playing for half a season. After his contract expired, Tong Lei joined Shandong Taishan freely. The reason why Tong Lei agreed to come to Taishan is because the head coach Hao Wei recognized his ability, in addition to the club's stable development, not owed wages. When Hao Wei coached the 97th National Olympic Games, he promoted Tong Lei to play as a starter many times.
Hao Wei always likes to attract reinforcements for Taishan in a familiar way. In order to strengthen the right back, he sent an invitation to his lover Tong Lei. Finally, Taishan is also ready to bring in new recruits at left back and striker positions. Among them, the left back candidate has been decided and will only be officially announced in the future. Hopefully, Taishan will have a wonderful performance in next season's Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League after a series of reinforcements.
