Taishan have decided to abandon their scheduled training in Japan and a new training base has been selected. Unsurprisingly, the team will leave for Shanghai on March 10 to start training and arrange a series of warm-up matches during the period. However, a number of foreign players have yet to return to the team, which has left fans deeply disturbed.
Since the beginning of February, the Taishan team has been assembling in batches and actively preparing for the match at the club base. This phase of training focuses on physical accumulation, with numerous players involved in national brand training, resulting in an unorganized team lineup. The biggest concern for fans is naturally the absence of foreign players. In addition to Sun and Jadson, Moises, Fellaini, Cressan and Lennardo have not returned to the team. Compared to other Chinese Super League teams, Taishan's preparation seems to be lagging behind.
Social media updates from the likes of Cressan and Moises show that they are still on vacation and show no signs of returning. Given the time constraints, Taishan's first official game, the Super Cup final, will be staged on April 8. April 1, the team will play a more formal warm-up game with Zhejiang. With only one month left, the return of the foreign aid problem needs to be solved, otherwise it may affect the preparation of the new season.
Taishan will arrive in Shanghai around March 10th to start training. For now, the team will focus on tactical drills and prepare to participate in some warm-up matches. Teams training with Taishan in Shanghai include Yatai, Jinmen Tigers, Shenhua, Harbor, etc. They are likely to be Taishan's warm-up opponents. Next, Taishan team has a lot of work to do. Four foreign aiders, foreign assistant coaches and physical fitness coaches are not yet in place and must be implemented as soon as possible.
Facing a Super Cup finalist like Wuhan Sanzhen, Taishan recently completed the first phase of training in Kunming and will move to Haikou on March 7 for the second phase. All five foreigners from Sanzhen have returned to the team, including newcomer Yakubu, a strong foreigner with a style similar to Malcolm's and a very efficient goal-scoring record in the Portuguese Super League. Only from the point of view of pre-match preparation, Wuhan three towns have a slight advantage, Taishan team need to race against time.
Compared to last season, T&T will face stiffer competition in the new season. Defending champions Sanzhen retained their starting lineup from last season, and Harbour strengthened in the middle of the season. Veteran powerhouses Guoan and Shenhua have also performed better, and new forces such as Zhejiang and Chengdu Rongcheng have joined the competition. In addition, the home-and-away system will be resumed in this season's Chinese Super League, and pre-match preparation is as important as ever. Don't forget that Taishan will also participate in the AFC Champions League, a three-front war with a more compact schedule, which the team must be fully aware of.
China's U20 men's soccer team was challenged in the second round of the group stage of the U20 Asian Cup. With goals from Mutalifu and Xu Bin, the U20 national soccer team exploded to a 2-0 win over Saudi Arabia.The U20 national soccer team will face a weaker Kyrgyzstan in the final round, and a win will ensure the group's exit.
In this game, Taishan's Baiheramu and Chen Zhexuan started the game, and both of them had outstanding performances, while another Taishan player, Peng Xiao, came on as a substitute in the second half. Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of shots and possession, the U20 national soccer team won the game with sharp counterattacks and is in a good position to qualify for the group.
