Dust Settles! Taishan's General Huang Zhengyu Joins Shanghai Port, New Season's Heavy Responsibilities Revealed
January 19, 2025, Beijing Time - Let's continue to pay attention to the domestic football scene and domestic sports. The Shandong Taishan team has been training in Shanghai for about 10 days, and this training will last for 1 month. The AFC Champions League will start on February 11, so it is imminent for the Taishan team.
The new season of the Shandong Taishan team faces a significant challenge of personnel changes. Among them, the departure of foreign players Pato, Jadson, and Marcelo undoubtedly had a considerable impact on the team. In addition, local players Tong Lei, Sun Guowen, Liao Lisheng, He Xiaoke, Jia Feifan, Yi Xianlong, and others have also left the team. With the departure of these personnel, the Taishan team's recruitment efforts are not significant; Tang Chuang did not pass the trial and has already left the team, while foreign players Madruga and Gazal are about to join the team.
Moreover, national team members Wang Dalei, Xie Weneng, Li Yuan, Huang Zhenyu, Gao Zhunyi, and Mai Wu Lang have ended their national team training preparations and returned to the club to prepare for the new season. Recently, many media outlets reported that Huang Zhengyu, the midfield core of the Shandong Taishan team, would join the Shanghai Port team.
However, at 9:48 am on the 19th, Jiang, the president of the Shandong Orange Wave Fan Club, confirmed: "The news that Huang Zhengyu joined Shanghai Port is false; he will stay with the Shandong Taishan team." Additionally, reporter Miao Yuan frankly admitted that Shanghai Port indeed had this idea, but Taishan should not let him go.
Thus, the suspense of Huang Zhengyu, the midfield general of the Taishan team joining Shanghai Port, has been revealed. He will continue to stay with the Taishan team, especially after Liao Lisheng's departure, forming the three major midfielders with Li Yuan and Madruga.
Huang Zhengyu, 27 years old, was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, serving as a defender and currently playing for the Taishan team, nicknamed "Water Buffalo." In the 2017 season, Huang Zhengyu became the main player of Guangzhou R&F, won the Best U23 Player Award and was selected into the Best Team of the season, renewing a five-year contract with the team at the end of the year. After his contract expired in 2022, he left Guangzhou City and joined the Shandong Taishan team as a free agent in April 2023.
We look forward to Huang Zhengyu becoming the midfield anchor of the Taishan team in the new season, providing more support and assistance to the team on the defensive end, and also having an excellent performance in the national team. His staying with the team is a win-win situation for the Taishan team, the national team, and himself.
