Facing the dilemma of geographical signing, Taishan Football Club decisively chose to dig deeper into its own potential by recalling some of the young talents on loan to the camp. Among them, the return of rising star players such as Liu Guobao, Baihe Lamu, Yi Xianlong and Lu Yongtao has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the team.
Liu Guobao, the leading player of Taishan's youth team, was honored with the Golden Boot Award after scoring 18 goals in last season's Chinese Super League U21 league, helping the youth team to advance to Group B. He is expected to be a key substitute in the first team next season. With his first-team debut next season, he is expected to be a key replacement in the team's forward line. If he can capitalize on his goal-scoring opportunities, his performance may win Choi Kang-hee's favor.
Baiduramu, one of Taishan's top 03 players, was loaned out to Sichuan Jiuniu in the Central League last season, but quickly became the team's main striker, scoring many times in the league. JiuNiu's promotion road, BaiheLaMu can not be ignored. Returning to Shandong Taishan in the new season is undoubtedly a reasonable homecoming for him.
Yi Xianlong and Lu Yongtao, although playing in other countries during the loan period, also performed well. Yi Xianlong made 25 appearances in Jinan Xingzhou team, contributing 4 goals; Lu Yongtao made 28 appearances, although it is the back position, but also scored a goal, fully demonstrated its characteristics of both offense and defense.
Liu Guobao, Bailiramu, Yi Xianlong and Lu Yongtao, all between the ages of 20 and 23, are young and have unlimited potential. After returning to Taishan, Coach Cui Kangxi is expected to give them a heavy responsibility. We expect these four new stars to collectively shine next season. Unsurprisingly, they will make their season debut in the knockout round of the AFC Champions League next February. Choi Kang-hee's trust will depend on their performance on the green field...
