In the 2020 season, Hao Wei took over the Taishan coaching whip halfway through the season, and Liu Junshuai's starting position quickly changed hands. With Hao Wei officially in charge of the coaching whip, Liu Junshuai's chances of appearing in the Taishan team decreased drastically, and in the 2021 season, he only represented Taishan in one FA Cup match, similar to Hao Haiyi's number of appearances.
Faced with such a situation, Liu Junshuai chose to return to his hometown as a loaner and joined Qingdao Sea Bulls. Last season, he shone as the core of the Sea Bulls' defense, contributing to the team's success.
Liu Junshuai's performance has attracted Hao Wei's attention, and the music department quickly recalled him to train with the team in the near future. If all goes well, he is expected to feature in the second round of the FA Cup match between Taishan and Wuhan Sanzhen.
Apparently, Liu Junshuai is not in doubt to stay in Taishan next season. He will have the opportunity to replace Brazilian defender Jadson, who has been out of action due to injury, to become the main center back of Taishan in the new season.
Meanwhile, two players signed by Taesan will also return next season, Brazilian striker Leonardo and naturalized player Delgado. Lennardo scored 13 goals and contributed six assists in the K-League last season, helping Ulsan Hyundai win the league title.
Delgado spent the second half of last season on loan at Kunshan FC in the Central League, where he contributed seven goals and two assists in 10 games.
These two players are a match made in heaven with the Taishan team. Lennardo will be the starting center forward when he returns, playing alongside Cressan and Wei Shihao to form an attacking triangle up front. Delgado, on the other hand, can be used as a substitute, providing Hao Wei with the option of improving the team's offensive firepower.
Although the signing of the Taishan team is still in progress, the return of many powerful players has already made fans marvel that the Taishan team's foundation is really deep.
