Recently, the Shandong Taishan team is preparing to blow the whistle for the winter training assembly in order to fully sprint for the new season of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. Therefore, the team has also notified many loaned-out players to return to the club, including Yang Ruiqi, Lu Yongtao, Yi Xianlong, Song Long, and others who have played as main players in the AFC Champions League. They will be evaluated by head coach Choi Kang-hee during the winter training. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and it is hoped that this saying applies equally to these loaned-out players. At the same time, the Shandong Taishan team will introduce strong domestic international-level reinforcements in the Chinese Super League transfer market. According to various media reports, Zhong Yihao, Zheng Dalun, Wu Shaocong, and Sun Qinhan are expected to become hot targets for the Taishan team's winter window transfers and are likely to join the club. Zhong Yihao is a very capable player who can play as a left midfielder and left back with commendable performances. Therefore, the Taishan team has always been very appreciative of Zhong Yihao's abilities and has repeatedly wanted to invite him to join. If Zhong Yihao can join the Taishan team, it will enhance the bench strength. Zheng Dalun was a protégé of Choi Kang-hee when he coached Quanjian, known for his excellent passing and shooting skills. However, Zheng Dalun's development over the past few seasons has not met fan expectations. Last season, Zheng Dalun joined the Cangzhou Mighty Lions team, but…

In the long history of Chinese football, Su Maozhen is undoubtedly a shining star. As the best striker in the hearts of many fans in the history of the Chinese men's football team, his career was filled with brilliance and regret. At the peak of his career at the age of 30, Su Maozhen chose to retire, a decision that is still lamented by many fans to this day. Despite receiving invitations from multiple teams at the time, he resolutely chose to hang up his boots out of deep affection for Shandong football. After retiring, Su Maozhen did not stay away from football. He poured his passion and talent into youth training. At the Shandong Luneng Football School, he served as the head coach of the youth team, cultivating batch after batch of young players with a rigorous attitude and professional skills. His efforts were recognized, and he was later transferred to coach the national team's youth ranks, contributing to the future of Chinese football. However, despite achieving remarkable success in youth training, Su Maozhen never returned to the first team of Shandong Luneng. He went in and out of Qingdao men's football several times and served as the executive coach of Beigti University, but he never found the stage that would allow him to soar again. It wasn't until December 2023 when Su Maozhen returned to Qingdao Hainiu as the head of the Chinese coaching staff that his football career seemed to have a new turning point. But Su Maozhen's football story did not end there. Recently, he passed…

The Saudi team lost this match, and their mood hit rock bottom, which can be described as utterly devastated. Look at their post-match performance; some players were sitting on the field in a daze, with expressions so heavy that they seemed ready to burst into tears. The head coach looked dejected, and the atmosphere made even the spectators feel uneasy. Before this match, the Saudi team had already gone six games without a win, and the last victory against China seemed to be their final glory. Unexpectedly, in the first round of the Gulf Cup, they were brutally defeated by Bahrain, and their mood plummeted. At the beginning of the match, Saudi Arabia seemed to have the upper hand, controlling the rhythm quite well. However, surprisingly, Bahrain's counterattack was like a shot of adrenaline, quickly taking control of the game. In the 19th minute, Bahrain's Mahdi Jabbar mercilessly opened the scoring with a clean and decisive goal, leaving Saudi Arabia unresponsive as the score became 0-1. This was not the end; in the 38th minute, Mahdi Humaidan of Bahrain pushed the ball into the net…

The flames of the United Cup continue to burn as the second match between Team China and the reigning champions, Germany, is about to take place. The lineups for both teams have been announced, making this match one that is sure to attract significant attention. For Team China, the first men's singles will see Zhang Zhizhen face off against German star Zverev. In this encounter with Zverev, Zhang Zhizhen is sure to give it his all. In women's singles, Gao Xinyu will take on Siegemund. In mixed doubles, Gao Xinyu will compete in two matches, partnering with Bai Yan to challenge Zverev/Siegemund. It's worth noting that mixed doubles allows for last-minute substitutions, adding an element of unpredictability to the competition.

Currently, most teams in the Chinese Super League have started training, but for Shandong Taishan, due to the late arrival of the holiday, the team is still on vacation. It is reported that the team will gather on January 6th to prepare for the new season. At present, it seems that the team will not change their head coach during this off-season. Although Cui Kangxi had a conflict with the club during the off-season and wanted to leave, Taishan did not intend to pay the termination fee to let him go. Therefore, Cui Kangxi is likely to continue coaching Taishan next season. However, he may not be able to build the team according to his own ideas. In fact, since Cui Kangxi took office, it can be seen from the recruitment that his recruitment was not reasonable and not for the future of the club, but simply for his own interests. Recently, Taishan's foreign aid central defender Jadson changed his agent to become a Korean elder sister. Jadson's move is very obvious, just to renew the contract with Taishan. Cui Kangxi asked the club to sign a three-year contract with Jadson, but the club could only offer a 1+1 contract. After all, Jadson is already 34 years old and has a glass attribute. Taishan cannot offer a long-term contract to such an old player. This also led to a conflict between Cui Kangxi and the club. You know, when Taishan renewed the contract with Moises, such a core player, they renewed it year by year, and Jadson's role is definitely…

According to the latest news, the Taishan team will reconvene on January 6th to officially kick off the preparations for the new season. They will first go to Shanghai for special training. Despite rumors that head coach Choi Kang-hee has left the team, there is no definitive news at present. Another piece of news is that Li Xiaopeng, a former Taishan team veteran, will join Qingdao Hainiu. Meanwhile, there is also news of a coach's departure. At the beginning of this year, Yu Yuanwei, the newly promoted horse of the China League One Chongqing Tongliang Long Club, took over as the team's head coach. After the end of this season, although the team achieved remarkable results, in order to achieve better results in the new season, they chose to hire a foreign head coach. At 5 pm on the 26th, Chongqing Tongliang Long Club officially announced that after friendly consultations and reaching an agreement, Mr. Yu Yuanwei will no longer serve as the head coach of the team from today onwards. Joining Yu Yuanwei in leaving the team are five coaches: Zhang Hao, Shen Tianfeng, Wang Kai, Robert, and Huang Weixin. For Yu Yuanwei, Shandong fans must be very familiar with him.

As the saying goes, "Once a teacher, always a father." However, who would have thought that a former Chinese Olympic champion would dare to reveal her coach as a "wolf in sheep's clothing"! Not only did he force students to take drugs, but he also repeatedly beat them. What is the truth behind this? Born in 1969, Zhuang Xiaoyan began professional training at the age of 14 and entered the Liaoning Province Judo Team in 1984. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Zhuang Xiaoyan won the gold medal in the women's over 72 kg category, achieving China's first Olympic gold medal in judo. Her coach, Liu Yongfu, is also a well-known figure in the judo world. He was once a wrestler and later transitioned to become a judo coach, personally cultivating many top athletes, earning him the title of a "godfather" in Chinese judo. During their collaboration, they were a perfect match, achieving remarkable results. However, a recent public dispute has completely torn apart this mentor-student relationship. The incident began with several videos posted by Liu Yongfu on social media. In these videos, Liu Yongfu confidently recounted how he discovered and cultivated Zhuang Xiaoyan, even going so far as to say, "Without me, there would be no her today." But these words infuriated Zhuang Xiaoyan, who immediately responded on social media, not only denying Liu Yongfu's contribution to her success but also exposing a series of shocking secrets. Zhuang Xiaoyan's response was unexpected. In her lengthy post, she pointed out that her career success was entirely due to her own hard…

Translation of the article content into English: Currently, the Chinese Super League is still in the off-season, and Shandong Taishan has already begun to adjust its squad. The team's first move was to streamline the first team. Taishan should be considered one of the teams with the best bench depth in the Super League. Therefore, many players who can't get playing time within the team could actually serve as starters in other teams. Moreover, in the new season, Taishan will accelerate the replacement of old and new players, and more young players need playing time. As a result, many veterans will leave. Recently, according to media reports, the senior management of Taishan has had in-depth discussions with five veterans within the team and expressed the hope that they will find new clubs during the upcoming winter transfer window. This news has undoubtedly attracted the special attention of fans. It also confirms Taishan's determination to increase the training of young players in the new season. Although fans may have some reluctance, this is very important for the future of the team. The first person is Liang Li-sheng, a national team-level player. In fact, there is nothing wrong with Liang Li-sheng's ability. However, Liang Li-sheng is already 31 years old, and his contract has expired. In fact, Liang Li-sheng and Taishan have also conducted renewal negotiations, but the renewal contract offered by Taishan did not satisfy Liang Li-sheng. Since they cannot meet Liang Li-sheng's needs, it is better to let him go. Chengdu Rongcheng offered Liang Li-sheng a better offer, so in…

Reports indicate that Tian has declined to renew her contract with Mirae Asset Securities Club and has also given up the opportunity to join the South Korean national table tennis team. South Korean media has analyzed the reasons behind Tian's decision to leave the national team, attributing it primarily to injuries and age. It is reported that Tian suffered a severe injury two years ago and has been playing through pain for the past two years. Despite this, Tian's performance has been commendable. Although she is no longer the top player on the South Korean women's team, she remains the second mainstay. Partnering with Shin Yubin in women's doubles, they have competed for medals in numerous major competitions, once ranking first in the world. At the Paris Olympics, Tian helped the South Korean women's team win a bronze medal. Most recently, at the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup, Tian contributed to the team's silver medal victory.

In the long history of Chinese football, if one were to ask who is the most talented player, many fans might not immediately think of Huang Yong - a player from the 93 generation of Jianlibao who went abroad to Brazil and is known as the "Golden Left Foot." Born in 1978 in Jilin, Changchun, Huang Yong can play as a left-back or left midfielder. At the age of 10, he began his training journey at the amateur sports school of the Changchun Bus Factory and was later selected by the Shenyang military unit, thus embarking on his professional career. At that time, Chinese football selection often favored tall and strong players, but Huang Yong, standing only 1.70 meters tall and with a slender physique, stood out among many players with his natural talent and was selected into the Jianlibao youth team. It's no exaggeration to say that he had extraordinary talent. During his time in Brazil, Huang Yong was the hardest-working and longest-training member of the team. Initially just a fringe player, he became an absolute mainstay under coach Horton for the national Olympic team, with even Zheng Zhi having to play as his substitute at left-back. Upon returning from Brazil, Huang Yong joined the relatively unknown and unmarketable Bayi team. Due to his military status and straightforward personality, despite the high salary temptations from outside, he never left even when the Bayi team was relegated to the second-tier league. During his six seasons with the Bayi team, his income may not have matched half a year's salary of…
