On January 19th, Beijing time, Shandong media reported that six national team players from the Taishan team had completed their training camp and were heading to Shanghai. The media also reported that Bi Jinzhao, who failed his trial with another team, returned to Shanghai to follow his mentor Cui Kangxi. After becoming a player that the Shandong Taishan team found difficult to transfer in the new season, this versatile center forward, who was personally selected by Cui Kangxi to join the Shandong Taishan team last season, seems to be staying for good in the new season.
From the list of Taishan team training players reported by Shandong media, it can be seen that apart from Bi Jinzhao having no takers, the Shandong Taishan team could only keep him to continue fulfilling his contract. There are also three other players who are almost as difficult to find new teams. Even if Taishan fans do not wish to see them in the new season, it seems challenging to loan them out. These four Taishan players are likely to definitely stay with the team to continue their work contracts. Considering that two of these four players were strongly recommended by Cui Kangxi, at this point, it can be described as Cui Kangxi's unique vision bringing two hard-to-transfer players to the Taishan team.
The four players who will remain with the Taishan team next season are Bi Jinzhao, Peng Xinli, Shi Ke, and Liu Shibao. After these four controversial players among Taishan fans all chose to follow Cui Kangxi to play football, it is hoped that they can change the fans' impressions of them with outstanding performances in the new season. According to Cui Kangxi's habits in using players last season, Bi Jinzhao, Peng Xinli, and Shi Ke are sure to be the main players of Taishan in the new season. Goalkeeper Liu Shibao should still be a substitute, and the nature of his position makes it somewhat difficult for him to prove himself like the other three players.
