Zeca's sudden injury without having played a single game or established any merit was unexpected! Moreover, De Turn has confirmed that Zeca is already a player of Taishan FC. The unexpected injury during the confrontational training directly led to the reduction of Taishan's fighting force. Zeca didn't participate in the winter training, so we can't expect him to return in the knockout round of the AFC Champions League! As for when he will be able to return, it will depend on the subsequent rehabilitation. It is reported that Zeca has already departed for Brazil on the 24th to return home for examination and treatment.
Despite the "accident", Cui's ability to bring in reinforcements is not to be commended! Instead of keeping Leonardo last season, he brought in a golden boot from the Indonesian league. Even if the Chinese Super League level is bad, it shouldn't be inferior to the Indonesian league! Don't say it was recommended by assistant coach Fabio, a recommendation is just a recommendation, in the end, isn't it the manager who makes the decision? I've always thought that if Leonardo had been retained, it's likely that they wouldn't have lost the AFC Cup and league double title. Although Choi Kang-hee has a good record with the team, he should not be overly deified.
Taishan brought in Pato at a cost of 400,000 euros and Zeca at a cost of 1.84 million euros. Despite spending a lot of money, Taishan's team did not perform well. Zeca's formalities have been completed and the club plans to register him for the AFC Champions League and the league, but the fans are hoping that he will come back as soon as possible, which is a very painful process for the fans. Zeca's injury was to a knee ligament, and the initial diagnosis showed a torn ligament, and the club has not been able to determine his approximate recovery time, which casts a shadow over Taishan's new season.
To reiterate, leading a team and bringing in reinforcements are two different things, and stubbornness is one of Cui's character traits. When he took over Taishan, he didn't promise to develop new talent for the team, which is why he brought in "come-and-go" players. Although Gao Zhunyi, Bi Jinhao and Peng Xinli are "come and go" players, they didn't bring in more powerful national team-level internal reinforcements, and none of them were acquired! On the other hand, Guoan brought in Lin Liangming and He Yupeng, Shenhua brought in Gao Tianyi and Xie Pengfei, and Seaport managed to keep Wang Zhen'ao and Wei Shihao in the team. ......
As you can see, both Beijing and Shanghai soccer teams have a concentration of national team players. In particular, the two Shanghai teams, especially Shanghai Shenhua, have national team players such as Dai Weijun, Gao Tianyi, Xie Pengfei, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong and Wu Xi, not to mention Zhang Wei, Wang Haijian, Xu Haoyang and Li Longhai. Shanghai Harbour, on the other hand, boasts national team-level players such as Wu Lei, Xu Xin, Zhang Linpeng, Yan Junling, Jiang Guangtai and Wei Shihao, as well as Wang Zhen'ao, Li Shuai, Lu Wenjun and Wang Shenchao. Careful arrangements have also been given to the introduction of foreign aid.
Taishan team has not introduced a suitable foreign back players. Reporter Niu Zhiming analyzed that it is more difficult for Taishan to sign other new foreign players in January. Especially because the registration list for the AFC Champions League needs to be submitted by the end of January, the remaining adjustment time is very limited. This requires foreign aid Kazaishvili to quickly integrate into the team, and also requires naturalized players Fernando and Pato to really play to the level that foreign aid should be. We hope they can train well and get ready for the new season, and especially we hope Fernando can be selected for the national team! Otherwise, it may be no less difficult for Taishan to play on three fronts than it was last year.
