With the approach of the winter transfer window, every move of Shandong Taishan team has been touching the hearts of fans. After a relatively quiet period, various transfer rumors about Shandong Taishan have come flooding in, let us simply sort out the authenticity of these messages and the stories behind them. The "Opportunistic Price Hike" Drama of Adebayor from the Turkish Super League Recently, there have been reports that Adebayor, a forward from the Turkish Super League, might join the Taishan team, which has aroused the attention and expectation of many fans. However, the actual situation is that Shandong Taishan has not had any substantive contact with him. It is likely that Adebayor's side intends to use the Taishan team's reputation to raise his own value, which is not uncommon in the transfer market. For Shandong Taishan, although strengthening the front line has always been the direction considered by the team, it will not blindly fall into this situation of being used by players, but will remain calm and find players who truly fit the team's tactical system. The "Beautiful Misunderstanding" of Nene, the Portuguese Midfielder The 29-year-old Portuguese midfielder Nene is rumored to be joining a Chinese Super League team, and the Taishan team is considered a potential home. Judging from the player's characteristics, as an attacking midfielder with strong attributes, Nene seems to be not very suitable for the current midfield needs of Shandong Taishan. In fact, it is possible for him to play in the Chinese Super League, but the destination is not Shandong Taishan. This also…

Recently, the Chinese football world has been in turmoil, especially with rumors that Shandong Luneng might be penalized with demotion due to its involvement in the anti-corruption storm in the football circle, causing great concern among many fans. The previous revelation by famous reporter Miao Yuan had fans worried about the future of Shandong Luneng, while the latest revelation by the famous reporter "Who is Good at Selling Cute" seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to this turmoil. In the previous revelation, Miao Yuan pointed out that in the next second penalty notice from the Football Association, two teams may face penalties and demotion. One is a Super League relegation team, and the other is a Super League giant with a large number of players and social influence. Since several key figures such as Hao Wei, Jin Jingdao, Guo Tianyu, and Sun Zhunhao were taken away from Shandong Luneng recently, fans naturally associated this "Super League giant" with Shandong Luneng. Although Shandong Luneng's official response stated that they would see each other in the Super League next season, fans' concerns did not completely dissipate. However, with the revelation of "Who is Good at Selling Cute," it seems that Hao Wei's situation has come to a conclusion. It is reported that Hao Wei's final result is similar to Jin Jingdao's, around three and a half years. This means that Hao Wei will regain his freedom in 2026. With the dust settled on the Hao Wei incident, fans began to re-examine whether Shandong Luneng would still be affected and whether it…

Recently, former national player Zhao Mingjian interacted with fans during a live broadcast on his social media, discussing the transfer details of his time with the Taishan team. According to his account, he left the team due to a strained relationship with head coach Felix Magath and was subsequently scouted by the owner of Huaxia Happiness after his impressive performance in the World Cup qualifiers. He then transferred to Hebei China Fortune. Zhao Mingjian revealed that the Taishan team made a substantial profit from his transfer, with an initial contract value of 180 million yuan, and Huaxia Happiness actually paid 160 million yuan. Such a transfer fee is unimaginable in today's market, where even foreign players in the Chinese Super League do not command such high prices. The decision to sell Zhao Jianfei at that price proved to be a lucrative deal for the Taishan team. Not only Zhao Mingjian, but during the golden era of football investment, the Taishan team frequently sold national-level players within their squad. Transfers of players like Zhang Wenzhao, Wang Yongpo, and Yang Xu brought significant financial gains to the team. Including Zhao Mingjian, the team earned at least 400 million yuan from these four transfers. These transactions not only provided economic returns but also laid a solid foundation for the team's youth training development. The Taishan team dared to sell their national players primarily because of their robust youth training system. Luneng Football School, as one of the best youth training institutions in the country, continuously provides excellent talent to the Taishan team, which…

According to the schedule, the Chinese national football team will face Saudi Arabia and Australia in two matches of the top 18 in March. In order to grab more points and help them compete for a second-place finish, the coaching staff has temporarily decided to arrange a training camp, which will take place from January 9th to 18th. Now, all the players participating in the training have been confirmed. According to the official news from the Football Association, the new training list of the national football team totals 32 people, and here are the specific details: Compared to the national team list from last November, this time there are 8 additions and 3 omissions. Among the players who did not make the list are Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai, and Wu Lei. The newcomers to the list during Ivan Kozlovic's tenure include Hou Yongyong, Huang Zhengyu, Maiwulong, Yang Liyu, Jian Tao, Han Pengfei, Wu Shaocong, and Wumiti Jiang. Statistics show that the average age of the new training list for the national team is 26.7 years old, with a total of 11 post-00s players, reflecting head coach Ivan Kozlovic's determination to continue promoting the rejuvenation of the national team. His boldness in using players even surpasses that of the previous Italian master coach Marcello Lippi. Before the list was announced, fans thought that head coach Ivan Kozlovic would not make major adjustments to the national team lineup. However, unexpectedly, he made a bold move by recruiting 8 new players at once, especially naturalized player Hou Yongyong. This is his first selection…

The Chinese Super League (CSL) has recently acquired three new foreign players for a combined transfer fee of only 800,000 euros, a price that would have been unimaginable just eight years ago. The current state of the CSL finds itself at its lowest point, with teams striving to save money on foreign players. During the new season's transfer window, agents predicted that most foreign players' market values would not exceed 1 million euros. As expected, the latest revelation is that the three confirmed foreign signings by the CSL all had their transfer fees paid, but the total cost was just 800,000 euros, a stark contrast to the tens of millions of euros spent on a single foreign player during the golden era of football. Among these three newly acquired foreign players, the cheapest is Nelson Lus, who was bought out by Qingdao West Coast. Last season, Qingdao West Coast borrowed him from Portuguese club GIMARAES, and he proved to be quite useful, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists. What's key is his high attendance rate, and he is young at only 26 years old. Qingdao West Coast spent 200,000 euros this time to directly buy him out, and his current market value is as high as 750,000 euros, so this deal directly made a profit of 550,000 euros. The second cheapest is Salvador, the new foreign player for Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. This midfielder from the Spanish second division has a market value of 800,000 euros, but Tianjin Jinmen Tiger initially offered 300,000 euros and later bargained down another 50,000…

Beijing Guoan's 2025 lineup is also luxurious, after all, there's a Barcelona coach, a former Real Madrid player, and the most powerful brain.

Recently, the personnel adjustments of the Taishan team have received considerable attention from the outside world, especially in terms of the selection of foreign players. In the new season, the Taishan team will definitely strengthen its foreign player lineup. To introduce new foreign players, it is necessary to streamline the existing foreign players. Currently, the contracts of three foreign players of the Taishan team have expired, including Pato, Jadson, and Marcelo. The issue of whether these three foreign players stay or leave is urgently needed to be solved by the Taishan team. Among these three, in terms of ability alone, Jadson is undoubtedly the strongest. His performance has won the recognition of fans, and his nature as a "swordsman defender" has allowed him to stand out in times of crisis for the team. However, Jadson's only flaw is that he has too many injuries and a low attendance rate, which still has a significant impact on the team. However, after Jadson changed his agent, Choi Kang-hee still wanted to renew his contract with Jadson, but the Taishan team did not plan to renew Jadson's contract. According to media reports, the two foreign central defenders of the Taishan team will be abandoned, and the Taishan team is also looking for suitable central defender candidates. This is undoubtedly disappointing for Jadson, who originally thought that after changing agents, he could sign a big contract with the Taishan team. Unexpectedly, he was unable to do so in the end. However, for Jadson, with his abilities, there should be no problem in continuing to…

The year 2024 has become a thing of the past, and as the new year bell of 2025 rings, the time for the resumption of the final four rounds of the top 18 qualifiers is drawing near. The highlight of Chinese football in 2025 will still be the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region, with the Chinese men's national team making another push for qualification in the final stages. The national team's first appearance in 2025 will be an away challenge against Saudi Arabia, scheduled for 1 AM Beijing time on March 21, 2025. If the national team can create a miracle by defeating Saudi Arabia, the possibility of direct qualification will greatly increase. Saudi Arabia is a traditional powerhouse in Asian football, currently ranked 59th in the world and 8th in Asia. However, the entire year of 2024 was a disaster for the Saudi team. They were eliminated in the round of 16 at the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year, which was their worst performance in the competition. Then, in the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region, Saudi Arabia suffered a surprising home defeat to Jordan in the last round, resulting in the loss of the top spot in the group to Jordan. Consequently, they could only participate in the draw for the top 18 as a third-tier team and were ultimately placed in the "group of death," Group C. Mancini, the famous coach who led Italy to win the European Championship, arrived in Saudi Arabia after the Qatar World…

Official Arrest! The Highest Official Position in China's Sports History, Liu Guoliang and Cai Zhenhua Suffered Persecution Former Director of the General Administration of Sport and former member of the Standing Committee of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Gou Zhongwen, has finally been captured by the law after months of in-depth investigation. This news, like a blockbuster bomb, instantly caused a sensation both inside and outside the sports world.‌ Looking back to 2016, the General Administration of Sport was brewing a profound personnel change at that time. Vice Director Cai Zhenhua, a legendary figure in the table tennis world, had already established a lofty prestige in the sports circle with his brilliant record and outstanding leadership.‌ Therefore, when Director Liu Peng considered stepping down, Cai Zhenhua naturally became a hot candidate to succeed him.‌ However, fate is unpredictable, and the one who eventually took over was Gou Zhongwen, who had no connection with the sports profession. This decision not only surprised the fans but also sparked a fierce debate within the sports circle about professionalism versus management, experience versus innovation.‌ After taking office, Gou Zhongwen eagerly began to implement a series of controversial decisions. He first gradually marginalized Cai Zhenhua, transferring him away from the core of the sports world, and then launched a "reform" within the sports circle that seemed grand but was actually chaotic and disorderly.‌ Among them, the most criticized was the physical fitness testing system he introduced. This system required all athletes to undergo unified physical fitness tests and linked…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, the Chinese men's national football team announced its first training list for the new year. The naturalized player Hou Yongyong, who was highly anticipated, finally made his first selection. In addition, newcomers such as Maiwulang and Wumiti Jiang were also on the list, while national team captain Wu Lei and veteran Alan were left out of the squad. So what are the highlights of this national team list? Highlight 1: 3 newcomers make their debut! 20-year-old twin stars could be a surprise Hou Yongyong, Wumiti Jiang, and Maiwulang are all making their first appearance on the national team training list. Besides Hou Yongyong, who is 26 years old and in his prime, both Wumiti Jiang and Maiwulang were born in 2004. Maiwulang plays as an attacking midfielder, while Wumiti Jiang plays as a central defender. Both of them, along with Baihelamu, another Xinjiang player, possess a tenacious and positive playing style, and they dare to fight in matches. Perhaps they can also become a pleasant surprise for the national team in the future. Highlight 2: Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, and Liu Dianzuo not selected for this training session Compared to the last training list in 2024, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai, and Liu Dianzuo were not selected. Both Wu Lei and Jiang Guangtai missed this training session due to physical reasons. As for Liu Dianzuo, who has long served as the third goalkeeper, he has given way to Jian Tao and Han Jiaqi this time. This may also be one of Ivan's measures to promote the…
