Currently, the Shandong Taishan team is preparing for the off-season in Shanghai. For the Taishan team, this off-season is very important. The team needs to seize the opportunity to strengthen itself. According to media reports, two new foreign players are about to join the team, which means that the Taishan team will have a total of 5 foreign players. In the new season, the Taishan team must not suffer any more losses in terms of foreign aid.
In terms of domestic players, the Taishan team has not yet made any significant signings. Previously, there were rumors that Zhong Yihao would join, but he has not arrived yet and is currently training with the Henan team. It seems that the possibility of him joining the Taishan team is becoming smaller and smaller. Among the new domestic signings, only Tang Chuang is currently training with the Taishan team. Tang Chuang's joining could actually enhance the strength of the Taishan team in the center forward position, giving Choi Kang-hee more options.
However, although Tang Chuang has been with the Taishan team for some time, the club has not officially announced his signing. It can be said that Tang Chuang is still in the trial stage. Recently, according to media reports, there may be changes in Tang Chuang's joining the Taishan team. According to media personality Miao Yuan, there are indeed variables in Tang Chuang's joining the Taishan team. His role is to compete for the substitute forward position. Although his performance last season was well-received, it seems that Tang Chuang may not be the player that Choi Kang-hee wants.
In fact, in Choi Kang-hee's selection strategy, he only chooses players from his own brokerage team, while Tang Chuang was selected by the club. There are major conflicts between Choi Kang-hee and the Taishan team regarding recruitment. In the Taishan team, there is already Choi Kang-hee's confidant, Bi Jin-hao, in the substitute center forward position. There were previously rumors that Bi Jin-hao would leave the team, but now he is training with the team. Therefore, in the new season, Bi Jin-hao is still Choi Kang-hee's first choice in the substitute center forward position.
As a result, Tang Chuang has no room for survival in the Taishan team. In fact, Tang Chuang had a strong desire to join the Taishan team and even rejected other teams because of this. If he ultimately fails to successfully join the Taishan team, it will be a great pity for Tang Chuang. With the new season getting closer and closer, most teams have completed their strengthening, which is extremely unfavorable for Tang Chuang. It may be very difficult for him to find another desirable team. Regardless of which team Tang Chuang ultimately joins, we hope he will have an excellent performance in the new season!
