Recently, Shandong Taishan's new center star Zeca has become the focus of fans' attention. However, as soon as the newcomer landed in Taishan, he suffered a serious ligament injury. At present, Zeca ligament damage specific degree is not yet accurate news. According to fans' speculation, the damage may not be serious and is expected to require only about a month of recuperation. However, if the ligament damage is severe, Zeca will have to prepare for a long layoff.
If Zeca is unfortunate to be out for a long period of time, he will not be able to represent Taishan in the AFC Champions League qualifying matches as well as the Chinese Super League in the new season. This is undoubtedly a tricky issue for Taishan head coach Choi Kang-hee. Will Choi Kang-hee choose to terminate his contract with Zeca early and bring in a new center forward urgently? But the reality is that Taishan will never release Zeca's contract easily. Even if Zeca's recovery takes half a year, Taishan will be patient.
Taishan signed a contract with Zeca for more than two years, so in order to terminate the contract, Taishan would have to pay a high amount of liquidated damages, i.e., pay Zeca's salary two years in advance. Obviously, Taishan will not be the decision maker of such injustice by terminating Zeca's contract early, let alone finding a suitable new recruit to replace him.
At present, the most urgent task for the Taishan team is to diagnose Zeca's injury as soon as possible and formulate a corresponding rehabilitation program. Judging from the current condition of the injury, Zeca will not be able to make it to the AFC Champions League knockout match against Kawasaki Striker. The Taishan team expects authoritative treatment to enable Zeca to return to the field before the start of the new Chinese Super League season. After all, Zeca has suffered such a heavy blow, if he can be revitalized, he will be rejuvenated in the Luneng team.
Looking back, Luneng's legendary striker Li Jinyu also suffered a serious injury before joining the team, and many of the Chinese Super League teams that were originally interested in bringing him in chose to give up. Only Luneng insisted on waiting and offered him a contract. After recovering from his injury, Li Jinyu exploded onto the scene at Luneng and became a key player for the team, making a huge contribution to the team. Therefore, Zeca should learn from Li Jinyu and realize his breakthrough in the future adversity.
