With Fellaini announcing that he will bid farewell to Shandong Taishan in the new season, the reorganization of the team's foreign aid lineup is imminent. With Fellaini's departure, coupled with the sharp drop in Moises' playing time, the team is faced with contract renewal problems, and the risk of Moises leaving the team is becoming increasingly prominent. Although it is possible for Moises to join Shanghai Port or Beijing Guoan, his loyalty will make it difficult for him to move to other Chinese Super League camps. Meanwhile, Pato, as the team's center forward, doesn't seem to be the best candidate, and his role may be tweaked in lieu of the upcoming changes.
Pato joined Shandong Taishan for a few days, but failed to show a convincing performance, scoring and assisting few goals. However, it was a well-planned introduction by head coach Choi Kang-hee, and despite his mediocre performance this season, he will undoubtedly remain a member of the Taishan team if there are no major changes next season. However, his position will be adjusted next season. He is not as good as Fellaini in the center forward position, and is not as fast as Cressan in the side, and is also slightly less skilled.
In the new season, Pato's position will be more backward, assuming the heavy responsibility of the team's front field organizer. Despite being a Brazilian foreigner, his skills are not to be underestimated, and his ability to pass and threaten the ball is much better compared to domestic players. He has the potential to be an organizer in front of goal, despite not playing much due to injuries when he first came to the Chinese Super League. However, his loyalty and family sentiments will be a key factor in his future decision.
Shandong Taishan team's foreign aid aging problem is becoming more and more prominent, Fellaini and Moises as the team's veterans, Fellaini is about to leave the team, Moises also faces the dilemma of leaving. Although Moises had twice considered leaving the team, the team invited him back several times and eventually moved him. Given his age, the team signed him to a 1+1 contract for one year at first and then on a case-by-case basis after expiration.
Now, the two have contracts that will expire at the end of the season, and the team has not renewed his contract. Despite his good performances, Moises is eager to spend more time with his family as he gets older. Despite his dip in form, he is still being offered the olive branch by Chinese Super League teams. However, his loyalty to Shandong Taishan, his family sentiments and his age will determine his future.
During the epidemic, he was unable to return to the team, but actively promoted Shandong Taishan in Brazil and presented jerseys to his hometown team. When he returned to the team, he overcame many difficulties, in contrast to Gerdes. He played a lubricating role in the team, activating Cressan and Gerdes. Even if he leaves, he will not join another team. In addition, he is 35 years old and strongly desires to return to Brazil to be with his family and not continue playing in the Chinese Super League.
