Nando Hwang Jung-woo's medical checkup key as Taishan team prepares for new phase
On March 27, Beijing time, Taishan team actively prepared for the new season at its club base. Today, Nando and Huang Zhengyu both received medical checkups. To stay in the team, they need to prove their value through their performance.
After completing their training in Shanghai, Taishan arranged a short three-day vacation for their players. Yesterday, the team regrouped at the club to start the preparation for the new season. Fernando and Junior Huang Zhengyu had their medical checkups at the designated hospital today. Their fate to stay in the team will depend on their physical condition and training performance.
Fernando hasn't played an official game since more than two years ago, and his recovery could take even longer. Even if he recovers to 70% or 80% of his peak, it will be difficult for him to cope with the intense Chinese Super League. As a local player, he has a unique advantage. We expect Fernando to recover soon.
Huang Zhengyu, who played for Guangzhou last season, is a young and promising player who was awarded the best U23 player in the Chinese Super League and was a starter in the 97 Olympics. He is known as the "Buffalo" and the "Desperate Three" on the pitch. Although his overall strength is not top-notch, Hao Wei is very familiar with him. Huang Zhengyu can play both as a center back and a midfielder, and is a versatile player at the back of the Taishan team. With the departure of Dai Lin and Liu Junshuai, Taishan's reserves in the center back position have become weak. The arrival of Huang Zhengyu will supplement the strength of this position.
However, Huang Zhengyu suffered a serious injury last year and his physical recovery is unclear. Moreover, his height is only 1 meter 78, in the center back position seems to be a little bit incompetent. Of course, whether Huang Zhengyu finally stay in the team, but also to see his trial performance and the coaching team's comprehensive assessment. It is revealed that Huang Zhengyu's joining is related to the transfer fee between Taishan and Guangzhou City.
If Huang Zhengyu finally joins the Taishan team, the team's 97 Olympic members will add another person. Previously, the Taishan team has signed Tong Lei, Liu Shibo and Hu Jinghang, three internal reinforcements, including Chen Pu, Duan Liuyu, Zhao Jianfei, Tian Xin, Li Guanxi and other 97 Olympic members.
The national soccer team has recently finished two warm-up matches against New Zealand and is expected to arrive in Guangzhou around 6 a.m. on the 28th. Upon arrival, the team will be dismissed and the international players will return to their clubs to prepare for the upcoming Chinese Super League matches.
