If two of the footballing talents fail to reach first-team selection in the coming year, they will have to bid farewell to the B-team's journey and seek a loan career in the Central League or Chinese Super League, a move that may be more appropriate for their career development. The three Taishan defenders, who made their debut for the U19 national team, will undoubtedly be the center of attention on the training ground. Taishan's need for a local center back is urgent, and Shi Songchen's mistakes in the last game, such as an accidental missed header, nearly allowed the opponents to score. Fortunately, Peng Xiao made up for it in time, and the tacit understanding between the two players complemented each other's strengths.
Shi Songchen only got one substitute appearance in the first team this season. Taishan is in dire need of good results this season. Apart from the injured Jia Desong, Zheng Zheng and Shi Ke have become the backbone of the team. Looking ahead, Taishan is expected to produce four center backs such as Zhao Jianfei, Yang Ruiqi, Peng Xiao, Shi Songchen, etc., once again highlighting the strength of Shandong Taishan's youth training. In the case of insufficient talent reserves, Taishan had relied on the introduction of internal reinforcements to make up for the vacancies in the center backs. Now, the blueprint of the Taishan team's lineup is becoming clearer, and new faces such as Xie Wenneng, Abdu Jieyimu and Mai Ulang will be added.
If Shenhua's 99-00 age group will usher in their era in the next three years, then in five years' time, Shandong Taishan's young talents will also emerge. Currently, the Taishan team is facing a dilemma, cultivating potential players may be sacrificed for short-term results, which all depends on the Taishan team's naturalization strategy. Whether or not Choi Kang-hee is willing to remain at the helm during the team's rebuilding and transition period. At least this year, Taishan still aims to win the championship and will not rush to promote rookies like Peng Xiao to the first team during the summer transfer window. The team will focus on the adjustment of foreign aid, as the transfer window is approaching, Taishan team has already started to work on attracting reinforcements.
