In our September 6 edition of Chinese soccer news, we focus on the unfortunate news of Shandong Taishan. Just this past September 5, Taishan received a notice that Fellaini will be leaving the team at the end of the year. The player spent 5 seasons with Taishan, making a total of 130 appearances, contributing 51 goals and 10 assists, and helping the team win two AFC Cup titles and one Chinese Super League title, making him the team's most decorated foreigner.
The reasons for Fellaini's departure are complex and varied, with salary issues being the main trigger. At the same time, he also wants to return to Europe to take care of his family. Although there are still 7 rounds left in this season's Chinese Super League, two more matches in the AFC Cup, and 6 more rounds in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, Fellaini's departure marks the end of his career in the Taishan team, which is also a reflection of the saying that "Actions speak louder than words, and treasure the moment".
Also facing a countdown to his departure is 36-year-old midfielder Moises. It is reported that Moises' contract will expire at the end of December 2023, and he has not yet reached an agreement with Taishan to extend his contract, so his departure from the team seems to be a foregone conclusion. In the midfield tactical system, the role of Moises is pivotal, is an indispensable part of the team's offense. It is reported that Moises' annual salary is as high as 5.5 million pounds, and Taishan's financial difficulties also aggravate the possibility of his departure.
The current environment in the Chinese Super League is becoming increasingly tough, with very few clubs able to operate normally. Taishan's €3.5 million transfer fee to sign Pato is a case in point. With the departure of Moises and Fellaini, Taishan will be faced with the challenge of re-selecting foreign aid.
According to Shandong media, Taishan team has started to look for a new foreigner to prepare for next year's league and AFC Champions League. It is reported that the team has signed Badamosi, who used to play in the Saudi League. The Brazilian foreigner is 1.98 meters tall, 24 years old, worth 365,000 euros, specializing in right foot, from physical quality to social status, he meets the requirements of Taishan team's foreign aid.
Brazilian foreigner Badamosi scored a goal for his team in the fifth round of the Saudi League away match against Hassam. His technical and tactical style is understood to be quite similar to Malcolm, the king of scorers who plays for Wuhan Sanzhen in the Chinese Super League.
I believe that with the departure of Moises and Fellaini, Badamosi will be a key force on the attacking end of the Taishan team going forward. We also look forward to him joining hands with Pato as a key spark for the team.
