In Shandong Taishan team, the strongest combination in the domestic center back position is Zheng Zheng and Shi Ke. It is worth mentioning that Shi Ke is not from Shandong's youth training, while Zheng Zheng specializes in the left back position. In stark contrast, Zhao Jianfei, as the only youth player with potential, has seldom had the opportunity to appear. He seems to have missed the best period of training, and his ceiling does not seem to be optimistic. Looking back to 2005, Shi Songchen, who is 1.87 meters tall, was not only the captain of the national Olympic team, but also the captain of the U19 team. Peng Xiao, also born in 2005, is 1.85 meters tall.
Shandong Taishan's defense has been consistently solid in all competitions, which has not only trained the team but also boosted their self-confidence. As Shenhua has done, these promising young players deserve more chances to play and get more training in the Chinese Super League. Currently, they are doing just as well in the B-League, having led their team to the Championship Division. Even though they are not in the China A-League, their strengths have been fully demonstrated. Coach Choi Kang-hee knows this at a glance. I sincerely hope they can make a breakthrough next season.
Despite Shandong Taishan's lackluster performance in the Chinese Super League, with only one win in nine matches, the team is still in fifth place. This is mainly due to their excellent performance in the early part of the season and the overall low level of the Chinese Super League. Zhejiang, in particular, failed to capitalize on the opportunity to score during Shandong Taishan's slump. Therefore, Shandong Taishan cannot be taken lightly. Nowadays, fans are getting more and more dissatisfied with the team's attitude.
The pre-sale of tickets for Shandong Taishan and Bangkok United has been launched, but some fans have already chosen to return their tickets. This situation is unprecedented and the fans are extremely disappointed with the team. If the team continues to be in the doldrums, they are likely to lose a lot of support. What are your thoughts on this?
