Currently, the core challenge facing the Taishan team is undoubtedly the multiple injury problems of the foreign aiders. This season, the Chinese Super League has implemented the rule of five foreign aiders, however, the core foreign aiders, such as Zeca, Cressan, Pato and Jadason, are unfortunately injured, and only Kazaishvili is left to be able to play. Facing the opponent's five foreign aid lineup, Taishan team with one against five, the difficulty of winning is undoubtedly great. Fortunately, the addition of two naturalized players, Fernando and Delgado, has injected vitality into the team. Although their goal-scoring efficiency is quite high, their inadequacy and lazy attitude at the defensive end have also caused extensive discussion among fans.
Against this backdrop, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for Taishan to repeat last season's feat of "bending the road to overtake" this season. The team should perhaps consider giving young players more opportunities to play, such as letting the youth team's top scorer Liu Guobao and other promising young players get practical training. After all, it would be disappointing to see the season end with the team still underperforming and the newcomers not growing.
