Beijing time on March 23, Taishan team, which is training in Shanghai, had its last warm-up match. The opponents were Changchun Yatai, Cressan and Delgado. Taishan team ended with a victory by beating Yatai 2-1. After the warm-up match, Taishan's Shanghai training was announced to be over and the team will return to Jinan recently.
Taishan have spent nearly two weeks in training in Shanghai. Foreigners such as Moises, Fellaini and Cressan have all returned to the team, making Taishan's squad much more complete. During this period, Taishan played five warm-up matches, including two wins, two draws and one loss. A number of young players were given the opportunity to play and were examined by the coaching staff. Some of the young players who performed well are expected to enter the first team to show themselves in the new season.
Several of Taishan's foreigners got a chance to play in the warm-up match against Yatai. In a 90-minute thriller, Cressan and Delgado scored to help their team win 2-1. Little was in good form in this training session, but is stuck in foreigner status and will likely remain on loan for the new season.
After the warm-up match, Taishan team finished the Shanghai training and the team will return to Jinan recently. On April 1, Taishan will travel to Zhejiang to play a friendly match against Zhejiang. On April 8, Taishan will welcome the Super Cup final in Hangzhou against Wuhan Sanzhen, which is the first official match of the new season for Taishan.
Taishan's current player lineup is not complete, with five national team members, Wang Dalei, Liu Binbin, Chen Pu, Liu Yang and Sun Guowen, preparing for the tournament with the national team, while Sun Junhao is attending the Korean national team's training camp. They will return to the team at the end of this month, and Taishan has little time to prepare a complete lineup for the preparation.
During the Shanghai training period, Taishan are still strengthening their squad. Xu Lei, a player who played for Meizhou Hakka last season, is currently joining the team for a trial. However, whether he will join the team depends on how well he performs.
Today, Guoan and Sanzhen played a warm-up match. With goals from Kang Xiangyu and Yu Dabao, Guoan beat Sanzhen 2-1. In this match, both teams sent their main players. Many members of the media revealed that Central League champions Kunshan FC could be facing the dilemma of being disbanded. They just managed to get promoted last season, and Jiangsu Suning also announced their dissolution after winning the title in 2020. Now, it is a great pity that another Jiangsu team is going to follow the same path of dissolution as Suning.
