During the winter break, Shandong Taishan faces a major overhaul of their squad, with particular attention on the adjustment and optimization of their foreign players, which has become a hot topic of interest to the outside world.
It is reported that in the new season, Shandong Taishan plans to strengthen their foreign player lineup, which means they will need to revamp their current foreign player roster. Among them, three foreign players whose contracts have expired - Pato, Jadson, and Marcelo - are likely to be released by the Taishan team. Of these three foreign players, Pato and Marcelo's abilities have not been recognized, but Jadson has received widespread acclaim from the outside world.
As a utility defender, Jadson has repeatedly scored crucial goals for the team when they were in trouble, using his excellent offensive ability and tenacious fighting spirit to help the team turn the tide. The only drawback of Jadson is that he has a lot of injuries and is considered a "glass man." This makes Shandong Taishan hesitant to renew his contract.
Despite Jadson receiving strong support from head coach Choi Kang-hee after changing agents, with Choi even hoping to renew his contract for three years, the Taishan management did not listen to Choi and is likely to clean out Jadson. However, even if Jadson cannot successfully renew his contract with the Taishan team, he will not struggle to find a new club. With his strength and experience, continuing to play in the Chinese Super League is not a difficult task. It is reported that many teams have already thrown him an olive branch, making him a sought-after commodity in the Chinese Super League transfer market.
Among them, Qingdao Hainiu is considered a potential new home for Jadson. During this offseason, Qingdao Hainiu completed a coaching change, with former Shandong Taishan coach Li Xiaopeng taking over as the new head coach. It is reported that Li Xiaopeng is very interested in Jadson and plans to personally persuade him to join, adding more possibilities for Jadson to join the Hainiu team.
For Li Xiaopeng, Jadson's joining would be a valuable asset. Last season, Qingdao Hainiu's foreign coach Yassen failed to achieve ideal results, and the team barely managed to avoid relegation. In the new season, the main goal of the Hainiu team is still to avoid relegation, and for a relegation-threatened team, solid defense is paramount. If Jadson really joins, it will undoubtedly raise the level of Qingdao Hainiu's defense, greatly enhancing Li Xiaopeng's confidence and hope in leading the team to avoid relegation.
Finally, we look forward to Li Xiaopeng successfully persuading Jadson to join Qingdao Hainiu.
