On January 30, a piece of news in the soccer newspaper quickly fermented - the Chinese Super League newcomers Qingdao Hainiu, will be "relegation" set as the new season's top priority, and the team's soul, the head coach Yin Tiesheng to stay in the possibility is also quite high.
Unlike the grandiose visions of some giants, Qingdao Hainiu, as a small and medium-sized club, is down-to-earth and aims to gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League. Despite their outstanding performance in the 2022 season, Qingdao Hainiu is not blindly arrogant. After a comprehensive analysis of the Chinese Super League in 2023, they believe that despite the shortage of foreign aid in the 2022 season, many traditional strong teams are expected to return in the 2023 season, and with the stable performance of the four new teams, the overall competitiveness of the Chinese Super League will be significantly improved in the new season.
Based on such a prediction, Qingdao Sea Bulls know that they must be ready to meet the challenge after returning to the Chinese Super League, and strengthening the personnel reserve is a key part of it.
Currently, the first team of Qingdao Hainiu has not yet assembled, and there are many speculations about the candidate of the head coach, but the club has not yet made a clear statement on this. 2022 season, Yin Tiesheng as the head coach to lead the team from the middle B to the A, and then to the Chinese Super League, his seniority and the team's success in leading the team to the Super League is very convincing. Although Yin Tiesheng is nearly 68 years old, given his ability and past achievements, the possibility of continuing to coach Qingdao Hainiu still exists, however, age may become a factor for the club to consider.
It is worth mentioning that Qingdao Hainiu has decided to use all five foreign aid quotas in the new season, which will provide a strong guarantee for the team's fighting strength. In terms of reinforcements, 8 to 9 players have entered the negotiation stage, of which three foreign aiders from last year are expected to leave one behind, in addition, an offensive organization player who has proved himself in the Chinese league is also one of the reinforcement targets. If three of the five foreign aiders perform well, Qingdao Hainiu's fighting force will be effectively improved.
