As the Chinese Super League season comes to an end, Shandong Taishan will embark on the journey to the Super Cup in February next year. After bidding farewell to two big players, Moises and Fellaini, the team has set out to bring in powerful new recruits. Now, Zeca, 26, the top scorer of the Brazilian league, has officially stepped into the Chinese Super League arena. He personally retweeted the news of his arrival at Shandong Taishan on social media, which was first announced by South Korean journalist Park Chan-joon, with the headline "Zeca will wear the uniform of Shandong Taishan coached by Choi Kang-hee, and become the best foreigner of this season". Zeca then retweeted the message, as if to self-promote his joining Shandong Taishan.
Zeca, who stands at 1.9 meters tall, has conquered everyone with his amazing performances in the K-League over the past two seasons. He contributed 31 goals and 18 assists for the Pohang Steelers, totaling 49 goals, a statistic that would impress any coach. What's more, the 26-year-old Zeca has not played for the Brazilian national team so far, which means he could be naturalized in the future and become a member of the Chinese national team.
The addition of Zeca is a key reinforcement for Shandong Taishan. The team is in dire need of a strong center to solidify the offensive line after losing Moises and Fellaini. Zeca's arrival will undoubtedly inject new offensive vitality and possibilities into the team. It is reported that Shandong Taishan paid as much as 2 million dollars for Zeca, and his annual salary is twice as much as Zeca. Such heavy investment and attention fully demonstrates Shandong Taishan's high hopes and trust in Zeca.
Although Zeca also caught the attention of other Chinese Super League teams, his final choice of Shandong Taishan shows his desire and determination for this new challenge. For Chinese soccer, if Zeca can successfully naturalize in the future, it will undoubtedly bring new possibilities and a leap of strength to the national team. After all, the 26-year-old player still has huge room for development and future potential.
Overall, Zeca's arrival has brought new life and hot topics of discussion to the Chinese Super League. His strength, potential and the possibility of naturalization have made fans expect a lot. He will also be a key player for Shandong Taishan, contributing to the team's future development.
