Shandong Taishan had a chance to sign Karanga, but Cui Kangxi didn't want him. As a result, Karanga ended up joining Jinan Xingzhou. Choi Kang-hee is obsessed with the choice of a high center forward, and his choice of foreigners is baffling. Although he didn't pick Leonardo, Karanga proved himself in the Chinese Super League and has the speed and physique to play as a high center forward as well. Perhaps Choi Kang-hee has his own considerations, Pato has already faced immense pressure when he hasn't even arrived on the pitch, and the slightest mistake will make him a target.
In this transfer window, Shandong Taishan asked Leonardo to sublet to Zhejiang. Duan Liuyu sent him to three towns in rival Wuhan. Xiaode rented China's First Division and brought in Brazilian striker Pato. The personnel was largely reorganized, plus six newly registered stars. In the second half of the season, Shandong Taishan will play on the third line of the new lineup. After Cui Kangxi coached Shandong Taishan team, he did not lose. The outside world recognizes him. I'm afraid this introduction of Pato will be a watershed moment. As long as he loses, Pato and Cui Kangxi will become the object of public criticism.
Brazilian foreigner Pato may not be available for the next match against Zhejiang. He will use the AFC Cup match against Meizhou Hakka as his debut opportunity. Will Pato be a starter or a substitute when he comes to the team? This is the second foreigner Choi Kang-hee has made a decision on during his tenure in the Chinese Super League, the first being his beloved Kim Shin-wook. Kim Shin-wook put in a remarkable performance in his first season, but quickly lost form in his second. Mateusz Pato hasn't shown for a while that he can be expected to kill it, so perhaps Choi Kang-hee has a way to inspire his potential. Cressan, Fellaini and Pato are all relatively tall and could be called the Three Towers.
