Just like many other Chinese Super League teams, Shandong Taishan will start their winter training in early January. However, up to now, it seems that Shandong Taishan has been stagnant in terms of recruitment, with no signs of activity, which has caused some concern among the team's fans. But in the past few days, Shandong Taishan has suddenly received a big piece of good news. According to reports from many domestic media outlets, Fernandinho, the naturalized international player who was loaned out to Shanghai Greenland Shenhua by head coach Choi Kang-hee last season, is expected to return to Shandong Taishan.
Looking back, Fernandinho's time at Shandong Taishan has had both glory and behind-the-scenes hardships and twists. At the beginning of last season, when Fernandinho returned in full force, wearing the Taishan team's jersey and stepping onto the green field, his performance was undoubtedly eye-catching. With his excellent individual skills and keen sense of goal, he became an indispensable attacking point for the Taishan team, repeatedly stepping forward at critical moments to change the course of the game. At that time, Fernandinho once became an idol in the eyes of Shandong Taishan fans.
However, good times did not last long, and later the contradictions between Fernandinho and head coach Choi Kang-hee gradually surfaced. Differences in personality, coupled with differences in tactical understanding, made the relationship between the two increasingly tense. Ultimately, in order to maintain the unity and stability of the team, the management of Shandong Taishan had to make the difficult decision to loan Fernandinho to another strong Chinese Super League team, Shanghai Greenland Shenhua. What happened later is naturally known to everyone. After being loaned to Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, Fernandinho did not receive much playing time. And there were rumors online that Fernandinho might leave the Chinese Super League. For a while, the future of the team became uncertain.
Now it's good, Fernandinho is not leaving, he is returning to Shandong Taishan. This is undoubtedly a major piece of good news for Shandong Taishan. Fernandinho, this naturalized fast horse on the flank of the Chinese men's football team, has attracted the attention of many fans with his outstanding performance since joining the Chinese Super League. Various data shows that Fernandinho has extremely high tactical value and plays an indispensable role in the team's offensive system.
Firstly, Fernandinho is fast and explosive. Although he is only 1.74 meters tall, this does not limit his play on the court. On the contrary, he uses his speed advantage to repeatedly tear through the opponent's defense in the game, creating offensive opportunities for the team.
In addition to speed, Fernandinho's dribbling ability is also excellent. He can control the ball flexibly in tight spaces, dodge the opponent's tackles, maintain possession while looking for the best pass or shot. In terms of passing and shooting, Fernandinho also performs outstandingly. He possesses precise passing skills and good passing vision, able to accurately find the position of his teammates during high-speed advances and deliver key passes. This passing ability makes him play an important role in the team's offensive system. Whether it's a through ball, cross, or horizontal pass, Fernandinho can accurately deliver the ball to his teammate's feet, creating offensive opportunities for the team.
Winter training has not yet begun, but Shandong Luneng has already obtained such an important attacking player. It seems that the frontcourt firepower of Shandong Luneng in the new season is worth looking forward to. Considering that their strongest opponents, Shanghai Port, have lost three ace foreign players, Shandong Luneng Taishan even has the hope of competing for the Chinese Super League championship.
