Qingdao West Coast Football Club's reinforcement strategy is unique, not only signing Nelson Conceição da Luz to improve the attacking ability of the midfield, but also locking up Harojan, aiming to strengthen the team's defensive fortress. As a new force in the Chinese Super League, Qingdao West Coast knows that in order to stand firm in the competition, it must have a team of experienced foreign center backs with outstanding individual skills. Haroyan, the league star from Armenia, is not only the captain of the national team, but his solidity in frontal defense as well as his quickness to track back and his sense of accurate positioning complement domestic center back Sun Jie.
Sun Jie, after being loaned to Qingdao West Coast from Yatai last season, has helped the team to successfully promote to the Chinese Super League with his solid defense and sharp sense of offense. It was his outstanding performance that contributed to Qingdao West Coast's promotion success. In view of this, the club decided to formally include him in the team's lineup. Although Sun Jie's return speed and turnaround have some limitations, the addition of Harojan makes up for this shortcoming. If Sun Jie and Harojan can play side by side in the Chinese Super League and show excellent tacit understanding, then the road to relegation will not be difficult anymore. We also expect Nelson Conceição da Luz to quickly integrate into the team and lead Qingdao West Coast in the relegation battle with his strong strength.
