In the golden fall of 2016, Bi Jinhao resolutely embarked on the journey of Shanghai Shenhua. When South Korean senior center forward Kim Shin-wook was unfortunately injured, Bi Jin-ho stepped up to the plate and played for the team as a starting center forward many times, making numerous contributions and thus gaining the full trust of Coach Cui Kang-hee.
In the blink of an eye, last season, Bi Jinhao moved from the green fields of Changchun Yatai to Shandong Taishan, where he was reunited with his mentor Cui Kangxi. Despite his limited appearances in the league, Bi Jinhao still won Cui Kangxi's favor and became the starting striker in the AFC Champions League. So far, he has contributed two AFC Champions League goals for Taishan, equaling the number of goals scored by Cressan and Kazaishvili.
However, this season, Taishan's performance in the league was sluggish and they only collected the fifth place. In the FA Cup final, they were defeated by Shanghai Port, leaving the four championship titles vacant. Choi Kang-hee's coaching road seems to be facing a lot of tests. Against this backdrop, it is not difficult to understand the emergence of Bijinho transfer rumors.
Earlier this year, Bi Jinhao signed a "1+1" contract with Shandong Taishan. If Cui Kangxi can continue to stay, the possibility of Bi Jinhao to extend the contract is quite high. However, Cui Kangxi's future coaching career is still unclear, which makes Bi Jinhao can activate the remaining one-year contract is full of uncertainty.
For Bi Jinhao, who is about to reach the threshold of 34, returning to his hometown Dalian next season seems to be a wise choice. In recent years, Dalian soccer has been hovering in the doldrums, but Dalian Yingbo has finally returned to the Chinese Super League. At this critical moment, a local veteran like Bi Jinhao is just the mainstay the team needs.
Therefore, Bi Zinhao joining Dalian Yingbo is undoubtedly a win-win deal for himself and the club. We would like to wish Bi Jinhao the best of luck in the coming season and contribute to the revitalization of Dalian soccer.
