The victory in the quarter-finals of the AFC Cup has left Shandong Taishan in a state of euphoria, but the break that follows will not be easy for them. From the 15th of this month, the team will usher in a continuous feast of soccer, facing a game every three days and traveling across the ocean to the Philippines. This intensive schedule will be a tough challenge for the players.
The news shows that Taishan's foreigners Cressan and Moises brought their families to Singapore to enjoy the exotic atmosphere while savoring the food and scenery. Pato, who has just returned from injury and saved the day in the FA Cup penalty shootout in Beijing, chose to stay in Beijing to visit the Great Wall with his wife and experience the charms of the Universal Theme Parks Resort in Beijing.
Among many foreigners, Jadson is known for his dedication. Despite missing the crucial match against Beijing Guoan due to a heavy cold, he has returned to Jinan and started to resume training. This season, due to injuries and FA penalties, Jadson missed a lot of games, but his professional attitude and on-field role speaks for itself. In the future, even without the addition of a good domestic center back, Jadason will remain a pillar of Taishan's backline, and can even occasionally play as a center forward to contribute to the team.
