There are two key factors behind Qingdao West Coast FC's successful recruitment of Duan Liuyu. First, the team's head coach, Hisashi Kurosaki, who was the right-hand man of Taishan in the past, is more of a leader for Duan Liuyu. In Kurosaki Hisashi's tactical system, Duan Liuyu's position is particularly important, and his arrival has undoubtedly brought a qualitative leap for the team. It is worth mentioning that the Taishan team will be in May next year on the treatment of the small section no longer take the first contract extension or then the traditional practice of loan, but according to the performance of Duan Liuyu to decide whether to stay, the initiative is completely in the hands of the Taishan team.
This year, Shandong Taishan team plans to loan out several players. Coach Choi Kang-hee favors players who are fast and have outstanding physical qualities. Take Wu Xinghan as an example, even though his performance in China's first division league is mediocre, he is still qualified to be selected for the Asian Champions League roster. However, Wu Xinghan's weakness lies in his lack of physical confrontation and is in dire need of a tactical system that suits him. Taishan's player rental program will soon be finalized, including golden boot Pato, including Sun Guowen, Duan Liuyu, Baihe Lamu, Yi Xianlong and other young talents will also be rented out, in order to prepare for next year's return to the main lineup through the actual practice.
Local players in the Chinese Super League are in dire need of a center midfielder like Duan Liuyu, who has not played more than 15 games in the past two seasons. Even if he stays with Taishan, he will not be able to compete with the foreigners and power players like Xie Wenneng. Once he joins Qingdao West Coast, Duan Liuyu's career may have a major turning point. If he can perform well in this relatively weak team, he is expected to rise again; on the contrary, Duan Liuyu's soccer career may be in the doldrums, and even the opportunity to play in the Chinese Super League will no longer exist. For Duan Liuyu, it's important to grasp the opportunity before him, even if he can't return to Shandong Taishan in the future, but also to think carefully about his career plan.
