On February 22, Shandong Taishan officially unveiled an exclusive video of Liao Lisheng resuming training, signaling that he will return to the core of the team's midfield in the new season. Looking back, Liao Lixiang joined Taishan at the beginning of last season, the performance did not meet expectations, more unfortunate in Shenzhen suffered injuries, missed the follow-up tournament. Now, he has returned to the team in advance to put into rehabilitation training, go all out to meet the challenges of the new season.
Born in 1993, Liao was an indispensable starter for Evergrande for many years. 2022 saw him move to Taishan as a free agent, wearing the No. 8 gown and becoming the centerpiece of Taishan's midfield in the early part of the season. However, the international's adjustment to his new home was uneventful, earning only eight starts throughout the season, including a goal against Dalian Ren.
On September 24, Liao Lixiang was unfortunately injured in a match against Shenzhen and subsequently missed the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. Although he returned to the team during the AFC Cup winning phase, he did not get a chance to play. Entering 2023, Liao returned to the team early and actively engaged in rehabilitation training, the physical state is gradually recovering. According to the official training dynamics of the Taishan team, Liao Lisheng is currently not involved in team training, but focus on personal rehabilitation, eagerly looking forward to returning to the best state as soon as possible.
Taishan officials have also expressed their expectations for Liao's recovery, hoping that he will return to the field soon and bring more victories to the team. In the new season, Liao Lixiang will undoubtedly be the key piece of the team's midfield. At the same time, Taishan is also actively strengthening its midfield in order to achieve better results in the new season. However, Taishan is also facing many challenges in the process of adjusting its lineup for the new season, especially the issue of capital investment, which needs to be rationalized urgently.
