Beijing time, January 24, the storm clouds on the soccer field, let us focus on the latest developments in the domestic football world. On the evening of the 23rd, the journey of the Asian Cup ended with a goal from Syria, who regretted to stop in the round of 16, accumulating only two points in three matches, without scoring a single goal. According to the plan, the team will arrive in Beijing on the afternoon of the 24th, and then disbanded to return to their teams.
With the prologue of the new Chinese Super League season about to kick off, international players were able to take a short break to prepare for the upcoming season. On the 23rd, the Football Association (FA) released a heavy official announcement that in order to guarantee Shandong Taishan's participation in the AFC Champions League knockout rounds, the Taishan team has successfully gained access to the 2024 professional league. All things being equal, Taishan will be playing in the AFC Champions League, Chinese Super League and FA Cup in the new season.
This season, Taishan lost two players, Fellaini and Moises, and Sun Guowen, Li Hailong, Hu Jinghang and Delgado failed to stay on the team. They have been looking for new homes. With the growing team of Korean coaches, the position of team translator has become especially critical. Previously, the team released a job posting with an annual salary of up to 300,000-400,000 RMB for a Korean translator. At 10:00 a.m. on the 24th, according to the "voice of Lumi", the former Taishan team Korean interpreter Song Shicheng officially left the team, he will join the Henan team. Song Shicheng posted a message on the social media platform, said: "Former Taishan Korean interpreter Song Shicheng will join the Henan team in the 2024 season, I wish you all the best. Thank you for all the hard work you've put in for Taishan over the years." Fans familiar with the Taishan team also have an understanding of the team translation. 2023 season early, Hao Wei coaching period, Taishan team coaching team leader for Wang Jun, Hao Wei leader Fabio, Xu Haipeng, goalkeeper coach Lucas, physical fitness coach Cui Peng. The press officer is Fan Xuewei, interpreter Chou Xiaodong, Gai Xin, Song Shicheng. With the arrival of Cui Kangxi, the coaching staff has been adjusted, assistant coach Fabio left the team after the expiration of his contract, physical fitness coach Cui Peng was assigned to the U21, and Korean interpreter Song Shicheng also left the team, marking the official farewell of Cui Kangxi's right-hand man to the team.
As we all know, the importance of team interpreters to the team cannot be overstated, as they can directly communicate the coach's intentions, live tactical arrangements, and convey thematic ideas and emotions. As a Korean interpreter, Song Shisheng, who has been familiar with the environment of Taishan for many years and works conscientiously, has been trusted and appreciated by Choi Kang-hee, who is also an important part of the 2022 FA Cup and 2021 Chinese Super League champions.
After Song Shicheng's departure, he reportedly joined Henan, which also brought in a Korean coach this season. It has to be recognized that the departure of an important interpreter for the Taishan team just before the start of the AFC Champions League is undoubtedly a huge blow to the team. Song Shicheng's departure is equivalent to the team losing an important general, he chose to join the Henan team, despite the generous salary, but the success of this poaching will undoubtedly make the Taishan team coach Choi Kang-hee face Zeca's injuries, the interpreter left, the uncertainty of the midfield foreign aid, and other tests, and the journey of the new season will be full of challenges.
