After a magnificent season journey, Shandong Taishan heart surging, both the regret of missing out on the championship, but also Cui Kangxi's miraculous deeds to save the day. Overall, Taishan team won the praise and affirmation of the fans, whether it is harvest or regret, the new season of Taishan team is full of expectations.
However, the new season is full of many uncertainties. The departure of Fellaini and Moises has almost dismantled the attacking framework of Taishan's frontcourt. How Choi Kang-hee reconstructs the attacking strategy is not only about the team's performance, but also about the team's future. The recent transfer rumors around the Taishan team have made the fans nervous, and they are looking forward to the final official announcement.
First, the signings of foreign aid have been largely clear and have brought surprises.
After the departure of Fellaini and Moises, Pato has basically decided to give up, and the team only retains Cressan and Jadson, which is the current existing foreign aid lineup of Shandong Taishan.
In other words, signing has become the team's top priority!
Zeca, the heart of POSCO's offense and a recognized power player in the K-League, has decided to join Shandong Taishan. Although the Taishan team has not yet made an official announcement, Zeca himself and the head coach of POSCO have already revealed it to the media. Currently, everything is waiting for Zeca to land on the ground after the medical examination and other follow-up processes, Taishan team will be in accordance with the club's usual style, after everything is ready to make an official announcement.
Judging by his performances in the K-League, Zeca is highly anticipated as Fellaini's replacement.
Zaka Ishvili is also in the final stages of negotiations. The attacking forward, with excellent foot skills, was instrumental in winning the title for Ulsan Hyundai. Taesan are hoping he can fill Moises' shoes and continue to freshen up the team's attacking system.
Baek Seung-ho, South Korea's popular international player and the core general in the midfield of Northern Hyundai, has become the most variable foreigner for Taesan at the moment. Taishan team at all costs to pay wages, hoping to attract the hard man to join. However, Baek Seung-ho is inclined to go to Europe, and Jeonbuk Hyundai will not release him easily without a sufficient transfer fee. Bundesliga's Darmstadt and Mainz both extended an olive branch to him, but only on a trial basis and with low wages. At this point, Choi Kang-hee needs to communicate in depth, perhaps Baek Seung-ho's problem is not insurmountable.
Cressan and Jadson, together with the above three foreign aiders, the team has five foreign aiders, which has been fully matched according to the usual practice. However, the club said they will continue to look for foreign aid, and the return of Leonardo, the golden boot of the Chinese Super League, is also on the agenda.
Previously, the media reported that Leonardo would not return to Taishan because the team's tactics did not suit him. However, Taishan did not want to give up this excellent player, Leonardo's excellent form has attracted the attention of the club, Choi Kang-hee did not directly deny it, so it is not surprising to recover Leonardo.
In this way, including Asian foreign aid Baek Seung-ho, Shandong Taishan will have six foreign aid. Taishan is financially strong for two reasons. Firstly, Cui Kangxi is full of confidence in the team, but he needs the full support of the club, which means that the club should not be stingy in the introduction of players. Secondly, there is a new trend in the club's shareholding reform, new investors will join, the shareholder element is richer, at least for the time being, the team will not be short of money.
Second, tactics will be further innovated.
Cui Kangxi has a comprehensive understanding of Shandong Taishan and will fully upgrade the team's tactics in the new season. The overall tactical pattern remains unchanged, still mainly high center forward, but the main offensive idea of the future Taishan team is the combination of open space and three-dimensional attack, will not be stuck in a simple personnel position, will carry out flexible penetration and side transmission. The overall offensive tactics will give a brand new feeling.
The biggest change would have to be Cressan. He is no longer a purely offensive striker, but a complete free agent up front. Kressan is expected to replace Moises as the tactical centerpiece up front. Newcomer Zakayishvili will be the first candidate to assist Kressan, who plays an important role in the attacking system up front.
Third, domestic players will also see a new upgrade.
The Taishan team is concerned about the domestic transfer market, and there are two positions that need to be strengthened at the moment, one is the right back and the other is the center back. The team will bring in one or two good center backs to make up for last season's loss at the center back position. In addition, some loaned out players will return, such as Duan Liuyu, Yi Xianlong, and Baihailamu, all of whom are on the team's recall list.
Now, Taishan team is training in South Korea to prepare for the AFC Champions League group stage, and also opened the winter break. Cui Kangxi and the club preliminary communication on the preparation and planning of the new season, and got the management's support for Cui Kangxi's overall thinking. Shandong Taishan will be fully upgraded in the new season, the fighting force will be greatly improved, and the results of the various fronts will be a breakthrough. Cui Kangxi in the new season set the goal will win at least one championship, in return for the trust of the club and fans.
It is foreseeable that if these plans can be successfully implemented, the newly emerged Shandong Taishan will once again impress the Chinese Super League.
