Recently, the news of Shandong Taishan renewing their contract with Liu Guobo has caught the attention of many fans. However, this renewal is not a major headline, as the details of the contract have not been disclosed in depth, and even the specific duration has not been explicitly stated. According to the official website of Transfermarkt, the renewal will last at least until the end of 2026. It seems that Shandong Taishan still holds high hopes for the future of this tall striker. Liu Guobo may not be a name familiar to many. Standing at 1.89 meters, he is a genuine center forward, only 26 years old, considered a young and strong player. In 2017, he represented Shanghai and won the U18 championship at the National Games, beginning to make a name for himself in domestic football. The following year, he transferred to Beijing Guoan, starting his professional career. Although he played for Beijing Guoan for five seasons, his appearances were limited, totaling only 22 matches in the Chinese Super League, contributing one goal and one assist. He is not a big star, but most fans are probably not unfamiliar with him. In the 2023 season, Liu Guobo joined Shandong Taishan, and there was some anticipation that he would get more opportunities in the first team. Unfortunately, he did not play in the first line of Taishan but was loaned to Zibo Qisheng and Tai'an Tiankuang in the China League Two. Although his playing time in Tai'an Tiankuang was not long, only participating in three rounds of matches, he persisted…

January has just passed, and there are new developments in the transfer market for Chinese Super League teams. The veteran powerhouse Shandong Taishan recently signed Tang Chuang, a tall striker from the former Chengdu Rongcheng team, which is quite interesting! Now, this 29-year-old player has arrived in Shanghai and started winter training with the team.‌ Tang Chuang's addition has injected new vitality into Taishan's front line. Although he has played in the China League One for many years and his age is somewhat advanced, his performance last season with Chengdu Rongcheng was really not bad. In the Chinese Super League and FA Cup matches, Tang Chuang scored 4 goals for the team. Especially against Shanghai Port, he single-handedly created 3 goals, delivering 2 goals and 1 assist, which is why he caught the attention of Taishan.‌ However, some Shandong fans are still worried about Tang Chuang's joining. Introducing a player who is close to the age of 30 and has been playing in the China League One for a long time seems to be at odds with the direction of the team's development. Everyone hopes that young players trained by Luneng Football School can have a place in the team.‌ It can be seen that the transfer trend of Taishan Club in recent years has been confusing. For example, in the 2023 season, they introduced Liu Guobo, a former forward from Beijing Guoan, but so far, he has not appeared in the first team. Now, this 26-year-old big guy has only played 3 games for Tai'an Tiankuang.‌ Liu Guobo is…

Recently, the new signing center forward Tang Chuang of Shandong Taishan has joined the team for winter training. Many fans in Shandong are puzzled and believe that the team did not need to sign him. This is because Tang Chuang is already 29 years old and has been playing in the China League One in recent years. Shandong fans think it would be better to focus on the young talent Lu Yongtao from their youth training system, especially since the tall striker Liu Guobo, who was signed from Beijing Guoan, has yet to make his debut. Liu Guobo was a key player cultivated by Guoan, and he was originally thought to be as capable as Zhang Yuning. Liu Guobo's talent when he first started out was indeed remarkable, not inferior to Zhang Yuning at the same time. However, due to his thin physique, he struggled to establish himself in the Chinese Super League. Guoan gave Liu Guobo many opportunities to prove himself, but his highlights were few. In the 2022 season, he came off the bench in a CSL match for Guoan and performed a feat of dribbling past two defenders. Afterwards, Liu Guobo passed the ball to Zhang Yuning, who scored directly. Throughout his tenure with Guoan, this was one of his better performances, and as a forward, he only managed to score one goal for the team. With such underwhelming performances, Liu Guobo was naturally not offered a renewal by Guoan. Surprisingly, after his contract with Guoan expired, he secured a big contract with Shandong Taishan.
