Cui Kangxi had not expected, in charge of the Chinese Super League even after Shanghai two teams, was invited to return to the Chinese Super League, to join Shandong Taishan. This may be the intention of the Taishan team! In the final analysis, the old Cui to the Chinese Super League team love. If it wasn't for Taishan, I'm afraid Cui would have very little interest in other clubs. Not only are the players of Taishan outstanding, but the foreigners are not ostentatious, and as the oldest club in Chinese soccer, Taishan's soccer background is also deep. Cui Kangxi's return to the Chinese Super League is not just about wealth, but also about honoring his name.
Observing Choi Kang-hee's team building philosophy, he is working on building a team for a whole new era in the Chinese Super League.In the 2023 season, Choi Kang-hee smiles a lot, especially after home victories. Some people say that old Cui is not smiling, but in an interview, old Cui himself disproved the rumor, saying that he is not not smiling, but just nervous games make him ignore the smile. Of course, some fans also teased, "Old Cui looks more handsome when he doesn't smile!"
In 2023, Taishan won three runners-up spots - the China Super Cup, the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. The turbulence at the beginning of the season made the fans feel relieved for the Taishan team. From the strength of the comparison, unfortunately, Taishan team only got the "second child". Super Cup against Wuhan three towns, Hao Wei led the team to play, and old Cui has nothing to do. If the league against Zhejiang, Chengdu Rongcheng undefeated, and with the Dalian people to keep a draw, then who will win the title, is not yet known! Next year, Taishan vowed to "reclaim the lost honor"!
Despite losing the cup and failing to realize the fourth consecutive title. On the one hand, Shanghai Shenhua was more prepared; on the other hand, Taishan was overwhelmed by the three-front war and could not field all the main players. In the AFC Champions League, Taishan is expected to be the only team out of the Chinese Super League, which has become the cover for our soccer! Next year, Taishan will fight on three fronts for a domestic double and go far in the AFC Champions League. To do so, the team needs to be strengthened, preferably by bringing in five foreigners and an Asian foreigner. Zeca can be seen as Kim Shin-wook's successor. As for Kaza, he would be a potential replacement for Moises.
Zeca is technically versatile and excellent against the run of play. The front waist is also a position that the Taishan team desperately needs, and Kaza is exactly the front waist candidate that the Taishan team is pursuing. Compared with Zeca, Kaza has more competitors. Many teams in the Chinese Super League are interested in Cazza, and even better than Taishan in terms of player treatment. Taishan's biggest advantage is Lao Cui, followed by the championship. In addition, will Taishan strengthen the back or center back? It would be perfect if 26 year old Baek Sung-ho can join and he can replace Son Jun-ho, who has a more solid waist!
What jersey number will Zeca wear when he joins Tayside? Of course, number 9 would suit him best, but it's unlikely that Cressan will give up the number 9 shirt. There is always a "first come first served"! As a new foreigner, it won't be easy for Zeca to take the No. 9 jersey from Kressan. In the most likely scenario, Zeca will wear Sun Guowen's number 19. At Ulsan Hyundai, Kaza wore No. 8. It's time for Pato to let go of the No. 8 for Taesan. If Kaza needs time to prove himself, #7 is also a good choice.
