Shandong Taishan Team Preparation Dynamics
Two days later, Shandong Taishan team is about to gather and prepare for the game, but unfortunately, five international players will not be able to participate in the break. However, the good news is that core player Moises is expected to return.
Shandong Taishan is actively operating the return of Moises and Guedes, and Moises himself is positive that he will return as soon as the opportunity arises. Therefore, in the registration list at the beginning of the season, Moises was included in the team lineup, while Guedes was not on the list for the time being.
Due to the epidemic in Brazil, Moises was unable to return, but he has been following the Taishan matches throughout his time in Brazil. He has also been training with Sporting Coimbra to maintain his fitness and athleticism so that he can quickly integrate into the game once he returns.
Sporting Coimbra recently announced that Moises has finished his training and is returning to Shandong Taishan, while wishing him all the best. Moises also took to social media to thank FC Coimbra and friends.
Reporters have learned from multiple sources that the likelihood of Moises' return remains high. All of this signals that the countdown may be on for Moises' return.
Of course, fans will still need to remain cautiously optimistic until Moises finally returns, as the uncertainty of the outbreak makes a lot of things unpredictable.
If Moises returns, it will undoubtedly be a huge positive for Shandong Taishan. In the first phase of the league, Taishan won three and drew two of their five matches, an excellent performance that puts them at the top of the Guangzhou Division and at the top of the Chinese Super League standings, second only to Shanghai Harbor.
However, Taishan is still lacking in the offensive end, especially in the lack of suitable candidates in the attacking lineup, which leads to their lack of sufficient threat near the top of the opponent's penalty area. If this problem cannot be solved effectively, Taishan's performance in the second phase may decline once other teams target Taishan.
The return of Moises can make up for the shortcomings of the Taishan team in the front waist position, he has excellent organization and attacking ability, as well as a certain scoring ability, which is very significant for the enhancement of the Taishan team's offense. In the 2020 season, Moises appeared in 20 games (17 starts, 3 substitutions), scoring 4 goals and adding 5 assists, topping the team's assists list, followed by Duan Liuyu's 3 assists.
