This season's Chinese Super League, Taishan team led the way, some people pointed out that they easily won the championship not only because of their own strength is excellent, but also with the competition pattern of "thinning" related. The root of the problem is that many Chinese Super League clubs, burdened by epidemics and financial difficulties, have made survival their top priority. With the former glittering internal and external aid, coaches have left the team, the Chinese Super League's glamorous veneer gradually faded. Farewell to the era of "gold dollar soccer", most clubs, whether active or passive, have returned to the rational investment path. Some clubs are even unable to invest and are worried about the future. Against this backdrop, Taishan maintained their winning streak against all opponents in the first half of the second stage of the championship.
However, "Taishan topped" is really not high in gold? If we look at the development philosophy of the Taishan team, fans and media will find that this championship is not easy to obtain. Data show that in the current goals, there are 20 scored by local players, of which 18 by the youth training system. Compared to the past ten years, Guangzhou, Shanghai harbor, Jiangsu three clubs through the purchase of 10 Super League champion, and Taishan team also continued to invest steadily during the same period. Despite the influence of "Golden Dollar Football", Taishan has been passively involved in the "Arms Race", but in general, Taishan's investment rhythm has always been stable.
What's more, Taishan team has never relaxed the excavation and cultivation of local talents while introducing external forces. In the past ten years, Taishan Youth Training has produced players at all levels of the national team. When the national soccer team is struggling in the 12-team tournament due to a shortage of talent, Taishan Club is still an important source of international players, sending out the best like Guo Tianyu.
When other clubs envy Taishan team with Sun Jun Hao, Moises, Fellaini and other foreign aid, they should perhaps pay attention to Taishan team's solid soccer foundation. Looking at the talent ladder of Taishan club, you will find that the strength of Taishan team not only lies in the foreign aid, but also in the solid training of local talents. Their winning of the championship is the result of thick and thin. Thanks to the stable environment, Taishan Club has become the ideal place for many local players. Former international player Shi Ke, current international players Xu Xin and Ji Xiang all joined Taishan at the beginning of this season, injecting vitality into the team.
Head coach Hao Wei has been instrumental in Taishan's return to the top of the Chinese Super League. As a decorated member of the club that won the first top league title and the double in the 1999 season, Hao Wei has been coaching since his retirement in the 2007 season. From the assistant coach of Changsha Jin to the head coach of Hunan Provincial Team in the 2009 National Games, to the first time as the head coach of a professional team in 2012 (acting head coach of Jinde), then coaching women's soccer, as well as serving as an assistant coach of Guangzhou Evergrande and Shandong Taishan, and finally formally becoming the head coach of Taishan in last season, Hao Wei has always been active in the domestic top-level coaching arena. If last year's team to regain the FA Cup and predecessor Li Xiaopeng laid the foundation, then this season's Taishan team to win the championship and consecutive break into the FA Cup final, is undoubtedly the best proof of Hao Wei's personal coaching ability and cohesion.
It can be said that stable club management, solid talent base and excellent coaching team have accumulated the most reliable competitiveness for Taishan FC. Taishan's winning the championship is the best reward for the club's adherence to the laws of professional soccer.
