Premier League Season Preview
On March 1 in the spring, the drums of the 2024 Chinese Super League season are officially beating. Tonight at 6:00pm, Shandong Taishan hosts Changchun Yatai. Taishan has the right place and the right time, and a good start to the new season seems to be just around the corner. The much-anticipated foreign aid Cressan can score again, undoubtedly become the biggest suspense of this duel. Yesterday, Shandong Taishan officially announced the renewal of Klassen's contract, which not only adds bricks and mortar to the team's start, but also brings endless expectations for the fans.
Last night, Shandong Taishan officially announced a contract extension with Cressan until December 31, 2027, a decision that undoubtedly gives fans a great gift. Now the hottest striker in the Chinese Super League, Kressan's retention will give Taishan hopes of winning both the AFC Champions League and the league. Taishan's progress will also help Klassan achieve naturalization in April 2027, when he may be able to add to China's men's soccer team in the 2030 World Cup.
Looking back at Cressan's career, he made 22 appearances last season, contributing 12 goals and 4 assists. Since joining Shandong Taishan in 2022, he has played 66 matches for Taishan, scoring 48 goals and assisting 16 times, which is amazingly efficient. In this season's AFC Champions League, Cressan is in heroic form, contributing 8 goals in 8 matches, leading the scorers list. In the match against Kawasaki Frontale, he even scored twice with a wonderful corner kick, showing his big heart.
Cressan's health is a major nightmare for Taishan's defenders. The extension of his contract with Shandong Taishan is a great opportunity to look forward to his performance in the future. In the new Chinese Super League season, there are a total of 10 naturalized players worth watching, they are Shandong Taishan Fernando, Delgado, Qingdao West Coast, Nantong Yun Yang Mingyang, Wuhan Sanzhen Wang Yi, Beijing Guoan Li Ke, Shanghai Shenhua Dai Weijun, Chengdu Aixen, Zhejiang Qianjie, and Shanghai Ganggang Jiangguangtai. Among them, Qian Jie and Delgado still need time to prove themselves.
Excluding Ackerson and Alan, if Cressan succeeds in naturalization, other naturalized players will also see more chances to play. By then, eight naturalized players including Fernando, Delgado, Li Ke, Dai Weijun, Jiang Guangtai, Cressan, Wang Yi, and Yang Mingyang will make up the powerful squad of the national football team for the 2030 World Cup. We would like to thank Shandong Taishan for renewing Cressan's contract and look forward to him completing his naturalization soon to help the national football team go farther on the road to the World Cup.
