Shandong Taishan lost their first penalty kick of the season. This game was more formal and can be considered the start of the team's new season. The match was intense and full of gunpowder, no less than a Chinese Super League match. Hao Wei used several new recruits and changed the ball many times, which was mainly used to examine the players. From the point of view of signing fame, Taishan players are not enough, but from the point of view of the game performance, they are far greater than the well-known players, Taishan to determine the lineup countdown.
Many players did not follow the team in the match against Zhejiang, among them Wang Dalei will return to the team soon and some players will leave the team on loan. Jin Jingdao and Wu Xinghan still haven't returned to the team. This means Jin Jingdao cannot play in the new season. He was in Hao Wei's program after his injury last season. Now he can't play. Shandong Taishan need to find a suitable body double. Another player, Wu Xinghan, is still training alone and at least he can't play in the first half of the season. Both players are internationals and still have an impact on the team.
The addition of Sun Guowen directly remedied this problem. Sun Guowen was a late bloomer, making his first appearance in the national team at the age of 30. Originally he was considered just a rotating left back, but in the first game, Hao Wei played him at left back, and then in the second half he played on the right side, completely replacing Jin Jingdao and Wu Xinghan. In one game alone, Sun Guowen was much better than Chen Pu and Liu Binbin. He crushed four international players and locked down the main side position for the new season.
Another player who played well was Huang Zhengyu, who was not optimistic either. However, as a back, the midfield ran well and quickly, completely exceeding expectations, and it was considered a successful check. Taishan has not officially announced the addition of several players, so it is still unknown. This warm-up was actually an investigation. Huang Zhengyu passed with flying colors, strengthening the short back. With the introduction of three local backs in three years, Taishan's goal is clear.
Xu Xin is best suited for Shandong Taishan. Unfortunately, after a season of playing, he chose to leave the team. Taishan introduced Liao Lisheng last season, the effect was far from expectation. In the second half of the year, the season was reimbursed and is still in the recovery stage. The addition of Huang Zhengyu directly makes Taishan's midfield worry-free and is perfect for partnering with Sun Junho. Both points are strong defensively, with the first line of defense built in front of the back line. Hwang Jung-woo could be the answer to Taishan's backline. According to Taishan's current staffing, it's still going to be a title contender.
Other players of Taishan were not affected by the incidents of Wu Xinghan and Jin Jingdao. Many players are in good shape and Guo Tianyu is back in form. Guo Tianyu will play the first four games as a starter because Cressan will be suspended for a few games. If he can seize the opportunity, he will change his career. Hao Wei also praised him after the game, and veteran Ji Xiang is facing some competitive pressure. After all, he is a veteran international player and still has some strength. The Taishan team has now returned to Jinan to prepare for the upcoming Super Cup. This is the real test for Taishan team, which will be the strongest lineup.
