At the crucial point of September 13th, after the fierce competition in the Korean national team's Top 12 match, Sun Junho finally embarked on his journey home. After the 21-day quarantine, he is expected to return to the team, and may be able to participate in the AFC Cup competition, but the dust has not yet settled. Meanwhile, Fellaini's quarantine period is also coming to an end, which means that Taishan is expected to gather five foreign players in the F.A.C.A. Cup, which is an encouraging news for the team.
Looking back at Son Jungho's recent performances, he played well in both of the Korean national team's Top 12 matches. He made his debut against Iraq, and the two teams eventually shook hands in a 0:0 draw. In the face of Lebanon, Sun Jun-ho was a substitute, but the team still won the opponent 1:0, and achieved the opening of the World Qualification Tournament.
Despite his impressive performance in the Chinese Super League, Sun Junho's position in the national team is not secure. Due to the absence of star back-rower Jung Woo-young, Son Jun-ho was given a chance in two matches in September. However, with the return of Jung Woo-young, Son Jun-ho's playing time may be limited. As for the next national team training, it is still unknown whether Sun Junho can be selected.
Under the current 21-day quarantine rule, Son Jungho is expected to return to the team around October 4, while the third round of the 12-team tournament will start on October 7th. If Sun Jungho is selected for the national team again, he will face a greater possibility of absence. If Sun Zhunhao is unable to participate in the 12-team tournament, it will be a huge positive for Taishan's path to defending the AFC Cup.
In addition to Sun Junho, Fellaini has arrived in our country on September 10 and is expected to return to the team in early October. Taishan team is expected to realize a five-foreign-aid lineup in the F.A.C.A. Cup, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's hope of defending the title. Of course, Taishan still need to overcome some difficulties, after all, the team is missing six international players.
After finishing the training at Weifang Football School, Taishan team has returned to Jinan a few days ago. After a short break, they will face Wuhan and Tianjin, looking forward to the team as soon as possible to integrate the lineup, to meet the challenges of the upcoming AFC Cup.
It is worth mentioning that Taishan team member Zhang Qi also came with good news, he went to Qufu Normal University College of Sports Science to report, officially become a college student in the school. Zhang Qi is still in the recovery stage, and he is expected to return to the field in the future, so I wish this tough guy a speedy recovery.
