Taishan's position in the Chinese Super League is pivotal, whether it is in the race for the Chinese Super League title or in the battle for the AFC Cup, old Cui's team can always harvest at least one honor. However, the most urgent need to strengthen the Taishan team is the key position of the back of the midfield, in the 16 Super League teams, Taishan team is unique, became the only team did not introduce foreign back. Reporter Chen Yong revealed that the team currently has no plan to introduce new foreign aid, which means the possibility of introducing foreign aid in the summer transfer window is extremely low. Although Zeca's return has injected a touch of vitality into the team, which is to be expected.
Pato's registration will be revoked, but the team will either continue to pay his salary or bear the cost of terminating his contract. To bring in another foreigner would undoubtedly be feeding the surplus. Given Taishan's current financial situation, such a burden is really hard to bear. But even without adding a back-up, the team can still play a great game. With the strong quadruple of Zeca, Cressan, Fernando and Wako, Taishan's attacking power is no less than that of Harbor and Shenhua. The Chinese Super League is like a tug-of-war, and after seven rounds, there are still many players and teams jumping at the chance to try and break into the top. Choi Kang-hee's leadership style will undoubtedly accumulate more experience.
Players such as Liu Binbin and Shi Ke are ready to return, but Taishan remain cautious. They are as sharp and sturdy as the quality steel on the blade. The next match against Chengdu Rongcheng is not only a duel between Korean coaches, but also a fierce exchange of ideas. With all the foreigners except Pato available, the lineup returned to the AFC Champions League stage. The openness of the lineup is self-evident as the game enters this stage. Taishan are in steady form after Xu Zhengyuan's recovery, with Cressan expected to start again, Delgado also set to start, and Xie Wen likely to return to action, rotating positions with Fernando to put more pressure on Chengdu Rongcheng's backfield.
