With Zeca's return to action in the second half of the season, Shandong Taishan is facing a challenge of reorganizing its lineup. At present, the position of Zeca in the team no one can replace, the summer transfer window adjustment is imperative. If Pato and Zeca position conflict, the team may need to decisively terminate the contract, after all, the loan is not substantive meaning, Zeca's position is still solid, the foreign aid quota will also be retained for it. Pato may return to the Indonesian league, to be left, Shandong Taishan team can usher in a strong back to join.
However, the team is currently suffering from a wave of injuries. Liu Binbin, Zeca, Shi Ke, Wang Tong, Zheng Zheng, Liao Lisheng, Li Yuanyi, Ji Xiang, Jadason and Kressan are all injured to varying degrees.
The team has a serious aging problem, with veterans struggling to keep up with Choi Kang-hee's fast-paced training. The intensive schedule of matches this season has left the players lacking recovery time. But Cui Kangxi's persistence has also been a driving force behind the frequent occurrence of injuries. For example, in the first match against Ateneo, despite the big lead, Choi Kang-hee didn't remove Cressan in time, and as a result, Cressan was injured in training and missed the crucial match against Yokohama Marinos. Although he returned quickly in the next round, his form was not as good as expected.
Faced with such a predicament, the team must respond quickly. There is no time to wait for players to recover slowly. This is the toughest time for Shandong Taishan. The team must work together. The support of the management and fans is crucial. This season, we need to adjust our expectations, give our young players more opportunities to show themselves, and complete the team's upgrade. What are your thoughts on this?
