Reporter Niu Zhiming revealed that Taishan's new recruit Marcel is about to arrive in Jinan tomorrow, while the prospect of Brazilian star Cayo staying in the team has become confusing.
Facing the Manatees, Taishan only managed to get a draw, but their outstanding performance of 5 rounds without conceding a goal still keeps them in the fifth place of the table. The focus of today's training is on recovery, with the main players making their own adjustments and the substitutes engaging in intense rivalry training. According to the schedule, Taishan will challenge Qingdao West Coast on the road on the 17th to compete for the top 8 of the FA Cup. Cressan is expected to return to the team, which is undoubtedly a boon to the offensive end of the team. Whether or not Qingdao West Coast will rotate their players is also a big question mark.
Niu further pointed out that Taishan must go all out for the FA Cup, but the team's fighting strength is an unanswered question. As of now, Taishan has a limited window for summer reinforcements, with Zeca replacing Pato, who will arrive in Jinan on the 20th and sign up for the Chinese Super League. New foreign center back Marcel is expected to replace Jadson, while Delgado is expected to stay in the team.
Marcel's arrival is expected tomorrow, but fans aren't expecting much in terms of value or strength. Kayo showed up at the Olympic Stadium on the 13th to watch the game, but missed practice on the 14th. Due to quota restrictions, Taishan were unable to register Kayo, but may still utilize his potential in the future. He Xiaoke, on the other hand, participated in training normally, and he will also have the chance to register for the first team and have a go at the FA Cup and the league in the future.
