Located in the land of Qilu Shandong Luneng, its helmsman Li Xiaopeng coach, he not only won the Super League for many years in a row the best skipper of the award, but also a native of Shandong.
Li Xiaopeng coach's near-term strategy is to follow the Luneng board of directors of the vision, in the Super League to strive for good results; and his long-term plan is to train a young coach who can work with him, he dreamed of the future to step on the podium of the European top five leagues, when his coaching career is really complete.
This season, Luneng lineup is not lack of Fellaini, Xu Xin, Sun Jun Hao, Artemisia Jun Min, Moises, Jin Jing Dao and other midfielders, Liu Chaoyang's situation is slightly embarrassing, but the rental may be able to bring him more appearances, which is Liu Chaoyang, is not a good thing. Overall, Hao Wei has a strong and powerful team under his command this year.
Despite the absence of Gedes, the team seems to have to rely on the bilateral breakthroughs of Wu Xinghan and Jin Jingdao. However, the lack of a high center forward limits the space for their wing players to play. It remains to be seen whether Xu Xin and Sun Junho can replicate Moises' tactics of penetrating the middle last season.
Pushing Fellaini to the front or even center may be a viable tactical route, but the move could also be limited by the use of U23 players. Duan Liuyu is strong in attack and weak in defense, Guo Tianyu's form is not clear, and compared to Guangzhou's Yan Dinghao and Shenzhen's Dai Weijun, Taishan's U23 players are especially active in front of the field, so perhaps the pressure on the right side of the defense will increase accordingly.
According to several media reports in the UK, Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has once again extended an olive branch to former Belgian international Fellaini to join the team when talking about him. The reason for this is that Shandong Taishan are interested in releasing Fellaini early, after all, his annual salary is as high as 9.5 million euros.
Thanks to the tacit cooperation during his time at Manchester United, Fellaini has a close relationship with Mourinho, who has more than once expressed his fondness for Fellaini and expects him to be his right-hand man, "It's well known that Fellaini is no Diego Maradona, but anyone who's ever been there knows what he can bring to the team!"
Despite persistent rumors about Fellaini leaving the Chinese Super League, he said in an interview with China International Television (CGTN) that he is very happy at Shandong Taishan and has no plans to leave for the time being.
