The transfer period for the Chinese Super League was extended to February 20, forcing the start of the league to be delayed and allowing teams to extend their winter preparation period. Shandong Taishan team originally scheduled to go to Dubai training, but diverted to Guangzhou, to start the winter preparation trip. It is worth mentioning that Taishan is the earlier team to start winter training in the Chinese Super League.
Taishan finished the FA Cup on January 15, with a short vacation of only 20 days. In this winter preparation, Taishan team welcomed the internal aid Tong Lei, who chose to join the team, despite the lack of systematic training in the previous half a year, but his joining the team is of great significance to the team. Tong Lei is expected to become the team's main right back, injecting youthful vigor into the Taishan team.
Dailin and Wu Xinghan and other players will participate in normal training despite the controversy. Taishan's winter preparations will focus on reorganizing the team spirit, while many young players are expected to join the first team. Coach Hao Wei will select young players who are expected to be on the roster next season, and players such as Xie Wenneng will also return.
Currently, Taishan has foreign aiders such as Fellaini, Sun Junho and Moises, and the team is looking for new foreign aiders. The process of bringing in new players is complicated because the existing foreigners still have to fulfill their contracts. Taishan needs at least one foreign striker to cope with the powerful offense of league rival Harbour.
After the training, Taishan team will face new challenges and the team lineup adjustment will be the focus. Signing Tong Lei is just the beginning, more teams will face dissolution or crisis before the opening of the Chinese Super League, and Taishan is expected to bring in more international players. The CFA announced the future schedule of the national team, which means the national team list will be revealed soon. As a big international player, Taishan team will face challenges in winter training, but this is also a problem every year.
