As the curtain falls on the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan is about to debut in the Super Cup next February. After bidding farewell to two powerful foreigners, Moises and Fellaini, the team is actively looking for fresh blood. At this very moment, a top Brazilian center forward, Zeca, who is only 26 years old, quietly descended on the Chinese Super League stage. He personally retweeted his news of joining Shandong Taishan on social media platforms, which was initially exposed by South Korean journalist Park Chan-joon, with the headline "Zeca will wear the robe of Shandong Taishan coached by Choi Kang-hee and become the best foreign aid this season". Zeca's forwarding behavior is undoubtedly his "self-promotion" to join the new owner.
Zeca, who stands at 1.9 meters tall, has conquered the K-League with his amazing performances over the past two seasons. He has contributed 31 goals and 18 assists under Pohang Ironman's account, bringing his personal total to 49 goals, a statistic that would make any coach's eyes light up. What's even more promising is that Zeca is only 26 years old and has never represented the Brazilian national team, which signals a great possibility for him to be naturalized and join the Chinese team in the future.
The addition of Zeca is undoubtedly a key reinforcement for Shandong Taishan. After losing Moises and Fellaini, the team is in dire need of a strong center to hold up the offensive line. Zeca's arrival will undoubtedly inject new vitality and possibilities into Shandong Taishan's offense. It is reported that Shandong Taishan paid $2 million in liquidated damages to bring in Zeca, and offered him a salary that is twice his annual salary. This kind of investment fully reflects Shandong Taishan's importance and trust in Zeca.
Although Zeca attracted the attention of many Chinese Super League teams, he eventually chose Shandong Taishan, which certainly shows his desire and determination for this new challenge. For Chinese soccer, if Zeca can successfully naturalize in the future, he will bring new energy and strength to the national team. After all, the 26-year-old young player has unlimited room for development and future possibilities.
To summarize, the addition of Zeca has brought new life and buzz to the Chinese Super League. His strength, potential and the possibility of naturalization have made fans have extremely high expectations for him. And he will be a key member of Shandong Taishan, contributing to the team's future development.
