As Shandong Taishan's transformation in this season's arena has shown, we witnessed a loss at home and a comeback on the road against Kawasaki Striker, knocking out the opponent, which is not something ordinary people can do. It was Shandong Luneng Taishan who made the seemingly impossible a reality, all thanks to the team's rock-solid tradition! As the tournament came to an end, fans couldn't help but say, "Old Taishan, you're really back!"
The growth of a team cannot be separated from the selfless support of fans. In Linzi, the cradle of soccer, there is such a fan group "no matter win or lose, always the same" - Linzi Fan Club. Since the establishment of the club, under the leadership of President Wang Chenglong, we have never been absent from the home matches of Taishan team; even if the conditions allow, we have traveled with the team, cheered on the away matches, and bonded with the fans around the world, showing the unique style of the fans in the place of origin of the soccer, and transferring the soccer culture of Linzi.
These football-crazed fans not only pay attention to every match, but also regularly plan all kinds of activities to strengthen the unity and sense of belonging among fans. The activities include game watching, tactical discussions, and fan gatherings, which allow fans to gain a deeper understanding of the team and experience the endless joy that soccer brings.
In order to gather the power of fans and cheer for Shandong Luneng Taishan more effectively, Linzi fans have recently set up a "Fan House" to provide a free place to watch the game for those who can't be there in person. As Wang Chenglong said, "Focusing on the game creates a warm atmosphere, enhances the sense of scene, and allows every fan to appreciate the infinite charm of soccer!"
Today, the key match between Taishan and Yokohama Marinos will start at Yokohama's home field, and this match will decide whether Taishan can make another miracle on the road. I sincerely hope that the fans in Linzi, the cradle of soccer, will bring good luck to Shandong Luneng Taishan in their "home of the fans"!
