In the world of soccer, every team's manager has his own tactical style and preferred players, and Shandong Taishan is no exception. Now, Cui Kangxi has become the helmsman of the team, leading the team back to the right track and winning the trust of the team and the fans. This gives Cui Kangxi decisive power in player selection, and those players who do not match his tactical philosophy will naturally have fewer chances. Duan Liuyu, the former star player, seems to have lost hope. With his departure, the destination is a mystery. Is it Qingdao, or Meizhou? The team is in desperate need of a striker, and a new striker has quietly emerged.
Since Pelé's success at Shandong Taishan, the team has developed a tradition of using outside centers. After all, a tall center forward complements Shandong Taishan's style of play. Coaches such as Cui Kangxi, Li Xiaopeng, and Hao Wei all prefer to have a player in the center forward position. Despite his strong body, Kressan is not a pure center forward, so Fellaini had to play this role. Fellaini is a threat at center forward, but in one-on-one defense, he is almost unbeatable in the Chinese Super League.
However, Fellaini is not a true center forward and he is only used as an emergency option rather than a long-term plan. Bringing in a pure center forward in the summer transfer window became Choi Kang-hee's top priority. Although Shandong Taishan have foreigners Lennardo and Delgado, they are not pure center forwards, and although Lennardo scores a lot of goals, he doesn't fit Shandong Taishan's tactics. At present, a new striker entered the vision of Shandong Taishan team. This foreigner has played in the Chinese Super League, that is Orenga, who played in Guizhou. At 29 years old, he is 1.90 meters tall and is a pure center forward. Duhail, who used to play in Qatar, has made 22 appearances for the team this season, scoring a staggering 22 goals and registering 3 assists. His agent is working to bring him back to the Chinese Super League after talks broke down due to a lack of agreement on a contract extension with the team. Teams interested in him include Shandong Taishan. He, a dark and hard player with a pronounced pivot, is a perfect fit for Choi Kang-hee's tactics.
When new people come, old people must go. Duan Liuyu, a physically tortured player, may be leaving the team soon. If he stays, he basically won't have much chance to perform. According to reports, he was interested in joining Qingdao, but now he has a new target - Meizhou Hakka. In my opinion, he should choose Meizhou Hakka. This is a southern team that emphasizes more on technology, which is very suitable for Duan Liuyu's style of play. If he joins, he will undoubtedly become the core of the team. In addition, there are many Shandong Taishan players in the team, such as Cui Wei and Chen Zhechao. Chen Zhechao played a stunning world wave against Shandong Taishan this season.
Duan Liuyu will not feel alone in the team, which will help him to integrate into the team quickly. For those players who will be leaving Shandong Taishan, I wish them all the best and hope they will find their place in the new team and perform even better.
