The AFC Cup was in full swing and Shandong Taishan came out on top, successfully advancing to the quarter-finals. Before the joy of victory dissipated, the team had a precious break. During this precious vacation, the Taishan players cherished it. However, starting from the 15th of this month, they will face a marathon of 6 consecutive matches, one every three days, and will have to cross the border to the Philippines, which is undoubtedly a great challenge for them.
Taishan's foreign aiders Cressan and Moises arrived in Singapore with their families and leisurely enjoyed the exotic flavor. In addition to tasting the food and enjoying the beautiful scenery, they also experienced the local culture and customs. Meanwhile, the recovering Pato, who played with the team in the FA Cup and helped the team's comeback with a crucial penalty kick, is now choosing to play in Beijing, visiting the Great Wall with his wife and touring the Universal Theme Park Resort in Beijing.
Among the many foreigners, Jadason's dedication is particularly outstanding. After missing the crucial match against Beijing Guoan due to a bad cold, he chose to return to Jinan to resume training at the club's base. Injuries and FA penalties have caused Jadson to miss many games this season, but the veteran's professionalism and dedication speak for themselves. If the team lacks a good center back in the future, Jadson's presence will be like a pin to stabilize the defense, or even occasionally play as a striker, this versatile player will still be able to contribute to the team's strength.
