Mount Tai Makes Big Moves! Leonardo Sells Shanghai Port Cheaply, Signs Two New Players in Winter Window

Oh boy, fellow fans, today is a big day as the Chinese Super League transfer window opens for 2025. Shandong Taishan fans, keep your eyes peeled! Word on the street is that Taishan is about to make some big moves! Leonardo's contract is down to its last year, and Taishan has wasted no time finding him a new home - Shanghai Port! This is quite a significant deal; could this be the start of a "recovery" mode for our team?

First, let's talk about Leonardo. Last season with Zhejiang, he was on top of his game, scoring 21 goals and assisting 5, earning the title of the Chinese Super League Silver Boot. Although Wu Lei took the Golden Boot, Leonardo's performance was impressive. Now, if Shanghai Port really "snatches" Leonardo, their attacking line for the new season will be luxurious indeed. Who needs Oscar and Bargos when you have the Golden and Silver Boot winners? That's solid power!

But don't underestimate our Taishan team. With Leonardo gone, we can't let that foreign player spot go to waste. Two new signings are already "on the way"! One is Zhong Yihao, who played for Henan last season. The Qingdao native was also a big name at Evergrande, part of the famous "Yan Zhong Yang Wei" quartet with Wei Shihao and Yang Liyu! Despite not playing much last season, his talent is undeniable. He's sure to shine at Taishan!

Then there's Tang Chuang, the tall striker from Chengdu Rongcheng, who left a deep impression last season. Especially in the match against Shanghai Port, where he scored twice, almost causing the reigning champions to lose face. His physique is impressive, fitting Coach Choi Kang-hee's standards perfectly. With him, our Taishan attack will be even stronger!

With these two joining, our Taishan team's strength has definitely taken another step up! And it's said that their agents have already arrived in Jinan, so the signing is just around the corner. If this goes through, Taishan fans, we'll have something to celebrate!

Of course, with new players coming in, others must go out, a common rule in football. With Leonardo gone, our foreign player list has one less name. But it's not a big deal since the new CSL season limits the number of foreign players from 7 to 6. Selling Leonardo now is a smart move! It frees up a foreign player spot and brings in some cash. It's a good deal!

Now, Taishan fans, think about this. Leonardo is leaving, new players are coming. Is this good or bad for our team? I think it's a mixed bag. We're losing a scorer, but if the new players integrate quickly and perform well, our team's fighting power will only increase!

And remember, Taishan has always been good at discovering and nurturing new talent. Look at the young players we've developed over the years; which one hasn't shone brightly in the CSL? So, fans, don't worry too much. Trust our coaching staff and management; they'll surely bring us the best results!
