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 the new season, Liang Li-sheng will join Chengdu Rongcheng. We hope that Liang Li-sheng can perform well in Chengdu.
In addition to Liang Li-sheng, veterans such as Song Long, Ji Xiang, Bi Jin-hao, and Peng Xin-li also face the same fate. With the growth of age, the state of these players has inevitably declined, and they have also lost their positions in the team. Among them, Song Long performed outstandingly after joining Hainiu last season and made great contributions to the team's relegation battle. However, even so, he can no longer return to Taishan. In the new season, he will continue to play for Qingdao Hainiu and is likely to retire here.
Former national team member Ji Xiang was marginalized by Taishan last season and was loaned to Nanjing City in the China League One, but his performance was mediocre and he failed to reach new heights. Now at 34 years old, he is definitely not in Taishan's plans anymore. Bi Jin-hao and Peng Xin-li joined Taishan as new veterans in the past two seasons. They were actually subject to huge doubts from fans when they joined. They were able to join Taishan entirely because of Cui Kang-xi's operations. Now that Cui Kang-xi's power has been stripped, the prospects of these two players in Taishan have come to an end.
