Transfermarkt has officially confirmed that Leonardo, the team's top scorer in the last two seasons, has officially joined Shanghai Port, the reigning champions. As the saying goes, "Some are happy, some are sad." Zhejiang FC really wanted to keep Leonardo, but due to limited operating capital, they were unable to afford his high salary, which is why they had to let him stay on loan for two consecutive seasons. Shanghai Port did not show much excitement about this deal. Initially, the team was only interested in Leonardo, but they did not reach the point of having to sign him. It was only later, after Wu Lei needed surgery and would require some time to recover, and the team struggled to find an ideal forward replacement, that they settled for Leonardo, who is familiar with the Chinese Super League (CSL) and possesses a certain level of ability. With this move, Shanghai Port has assembled the top three scorers from last season's scoring chart: Wu Lei, Leonardo, and Gustavo. However, without the midfield coordination of Oscar and Bargos, it remains to be seen whether the front line's three attacking players can be invincible. Originally, Leonardo's transfer had little to do with Shandong Taishan's strength. It even freed up a foreign player spot for the team, allowing them to receive a transfer fee and providing conditions for the signing of new players. However, fans still could not hide their disappointment and once again targeted the club management. The focus of the doubts mainly centered around "How advanced is Taishan's tactics? How could they…

Currently, the national football team has just concluded a 10-day training camp. This time, only Hou Yongyong participated in the training, while other naturalized players were unable to report due to various reasons. Among them was Xiao Moto Fernandinho. Is Fernandinho injured? This is a message that the media has been reporting, but what is the real situation? Recently, Fernandinho, the naturalized forward of the national football team, updated his social media status, suspectedly starting to play street football in Brazil and making an appearance in the jersey of his new club. This move has attracted widespread attention from fans and the media. How did Fernandinho suddenly go abroad? As a beneficiary of the golden age of Chinese Super League football, Fernandinho's career has experienced a series of ups and downs. When Fernandinho joined the Chongqing team of the Chinese Super League, he quickly obtained a high-paying contract with his outstanding performance. During his multiple seasons with the Chongqing team, he repeatedly turned the tide at critical moments, becoming an important contributor to the team's relegation battle. With these outstanding performances, Fernandinho not only won the honor of the Chongqing team's top scorer but also successfully caught the wind of the Chinese Super League's naturalization policy, joining Evergrande and receiving a sky-high annual salary and resettlement fee. However, after being naturalized and gaining citizenship, Fernandinho failed to consistently demonstrate a convincing performance. In his national team career, Fernandinho repeatedly missed national team training for various reasons, leading to a low point in his career. Over the course of two years,…

China's U20 National Football Team is currently in a crucial preparation phase, with their recent performances capturing the hearts of many Chinese football enthusiasts. In a recent away friendly match against Thailand's U20 team, the Chinese team drew 1-1 with their opponents. The game was full of drama as the team managed to equalize through a goal by Chen Zeshi, a young player from Shandong Taishan. However, this also meant that the team had gone two rounds without a win in their New Year's away training, which inevitably raised questions and concerns about their strength. For the team's head coach, Jurevic, the outcome of the friendly matches is not his primary focus. As an experienced coach, he places more importance on using these games to identify and address existing problems within the team. After all, the upcoming Youth Asian Cup will present a much tougher challenge. The purpose of friendly matches is to help the team adjust their state in time before official competitions and resolve technical and tactical deficiencies. This 05 national youth team has indeed shown remarkable strength and potential. In a previous highly anticipated friendly match, the team achieved a notable feat by defeating traditional powerhouse South Korea 2-0. In that game, Liu Chengyu, a young forward from Shanghai Shenhua, performed outstandingly, scoring twice. This victory not only demonstrated the team's competitiveness in important matches but also filled the Chinese football community with expectations for this young squad. The ultimate goal of the team is to secure qualification for the World Youth Championship through the Youth Asian…

After so much talk, Shandong Taishan finally has a new foreign player, and their value is more than ten times that of the previous foreign player. Fans are excited, hoping for the next Gilberto! The 2024 season saw Shandong Taishan struggle through, finishing fifth in the league, which on the surface seems decent, but they were a full 30 points behind the top team. Is this still the familiar Shandong Taishan that fans once knew? None of the newly introduced players, whether foreign or domestic, have met fan expectations. Following the end of the season, the club parted ways with Pato and sold Leonardo, giving fans the impression that Shandong Taishan was gearing up for a major push. However, upon further reflection, it's clear that the club can no longer afford to make big moves; the lack of strong player acquisitions over the past two seasons is due to significant financial pressures. After Pato's departure, there were rumors that multiple foreign players would join Shandong Taishan, promising surprises. Yet, many days have passed without any news of these foreign players. On January 21st, Brazilian self-media futeousadia reported that Brazilian central defender Lucas Gazal will join Shandong Taishan. Fans have finally received news of the new foreign player, but who exactly is Gazal? Gazal is only 25 years old, standing at 1.87 meters tall, and plays as a central defender. He joined Goianiense Atlético Clube in Brazil in 2022 and was loaned to Mirassol in Serie B for the 2024 season. Last season, he played 22 games for Mirassol, helping the…

Recently, according to media reports, Delgado, who had just renewed his contract with Shandong Taishan, is set to leave the team again. His next destination will be a loan move to Chengdu Rongcheng, which has left many Shandong fans in awe of this surprising move. First, according to Transfermarkt, Delgado's contract with Shandong Taishan was due to expire on December 31, 2024. When Shandong Taishan started their winter training in Shanghai, Delgado did not return to the team in time. In this situation, Shandong fans believed that the club must not have renewed Delgado's contract. After all, Delgado's performance last season for Shandong Taishan was mixed. On one hand, Delgado scored efficiently for Shandong Taishan, often scoring goals in limited playing time. Judging by the goal-scoring statistics alone, Delgado ranked among the top in the team. On the other hand, Delgado's style of play was too lackadaisical; he would stand there with a blank stare when he lost possession, showing no intention of tracking back defensively. As a result, Delgado was criticized by Luneng fans as a "stroller." In summary, Luneng fans could understand the club's decision not to renew Delgado's contract. Just when everyone thought Delgado was likely to leave Shandong Taishan, he suddenly returned to the club's training base and confirmed it with a photo. At this point, Luneng fans thought that Delgado's fate with Luneng might experience a major reversal. There was hope that Delgado would sign a new contract with Luneng and continue to play for the club next season. As we all know, Delgado will…

During the preseason of the new season, there is a flurry of personnel adjustment information among various clubs, with the rumors related to Shandong Taishan being the most numerous. Unexpectedly, two weeks after the opening of the winter transfer window, other teams, big or small, have had both departures and arrivals. Some teams have already started playing friendly matches after assembling their squads quickly. However, only Taishan has seen more than a dozen players leave without any confirmed arrivals. There was only one domestic player, Tang Chuang, who was confirmed to have joined the team but left due to failing the trial. The two Brazilian foreign players who were once hotly discussed suddenly disappeared without a trace, turning the claim of "the second CSL team to complete its five foreign player lineup" into a joke. Even the entry of famous veteran Su Maozhen into the club's management seems to have come to nothing... What is going on here? It appears that despite being widely recognized as lacking passion, Taishan Club is not short of composure. Some might say, why rush? The winter transfer window closes on February 18th, and Taishan may be carefully selecting their targets, ensuring that they don't waste time sharpening their axe. The problem lies in the fact that Taishan has two AFC Champions League matches on February 11th and 18th, and registration needs to be completed before the holiday. Even if domestic and foreign players arrive immediately and the squad is fully assembled today, there will only be 20 days left for targeted training! Currently, none…

At 8 PM in the evening, Shandong Taishan officially announced the latest news, Brazilian Sports ended the warm-up, and the next homes of 3 people were exposed. On January 20th, Beijing time, let us continue to pay attention to the domestic football circle 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. In the new season, Shandong Taishan team faces a great challenge of personnel changes. Among them, the successive departure of foreign aid Pato, Jadeson, and Marcel undoubtedly had a significant impact on the team. In addition, local players such as 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 great. Tang Chuang did not pass the trial and has already left the team, while foreign aid Madruga and Gazal are about to join the team. At 8 PM on the 19th, Shandong Taishan team also officially announced the latest news. The club posted that on the 19th, Brazilian Sports played a friendly match with Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard team, which was the last game of Brazilian Sports in China. Due to the dense schedule of friendly matches, many injuries occurred among the Brazilian Sports players, and they eventually lost 0:2 to Guangdong Guangzhou Leopard. Brazilian Sports plans to take a flight back to Brazil…

The calm winter transfer window has been shattered by a massive stone, as a strong reinforcement with an 18 million Euro valuation joins, signaling a change in approach for a former Chinese Super League (CSL) champion. No wonder they gave up on the strongest naturalization candidate! Since the CSL embarked on its salary cap journey, there hasn't been much attention paid to which clubs are signing which players. After all, world-class stars used to look down on the CSL and wouldn't consider playing here. Nowadays, CSL club signings are like opening blind boxes. Of course, even big-name stars who come to the CSL can have underwhelming performances, such as Tevez and Sha Lawei. The 2024 season and winter transfer window have been open for some time now, but the transfers and signings have been relatively quiet. Instead, it's the move of Ma Lalei from Shanghai Shenhua to Dalian Yibo that has generated a lot of discussion. Does this mean that after the CSL's salary cap, there really aren't any capable foreign players willing to play? Changchun Yatai has been fighting for relegation survival in recent years, yet they once won the CSL title. Leonardo, borrowed from Shandong Taishan, performed exceptionally well and helped the team avoid relegation, but the club chose not to sign him permanently and instead let him go to Zhejiang FC. Serginho, who had served the team for many years and was close to being naturalized, was surprisingly sent to Beijing Guoan. Is Changchun Yatai destined to continue scraping by? The first batch of national team naturalizations…

6:0, such a score placed in the competition between Chinese football and Korean football, it is believed that many fans will mock Chinese football at the first time. Indeed, this is very normal. After all, in the history of Chinese football, the confrontation with Korean teams has almost always been a complete defeat. However, this time, the result is completely different. Because the team that lost the game was the Korean team, and this champion team from Korea was completely defeated, being suppressed by the Chinese team throughout the game, and was scored 4:0 in the first half. It must be said that this situation is quite rare. Currently, the 2025 Jianlibao Cup International Youth Football Invitational Tournament, which is receiving attention from many football enthusiasts, is being held hotly in Sanshui, Foshan, Guangdong. In an earlier focus match, China's U16 champion team Hubei U16 men's football team faced off against South Korea's U16 champion team Suwon Samsung. In the end, what was originally thought to be an evenly matched battle turned into a one-sided affair. After 90 minutes of competition, Hubei U16 men's football team won Suwon Samsung team 6:0, and was already leading 4:0 at halftime. In the confrontation between Chinese football and Korean football, Chinese football is basically suppressed by Korean teams. Whether at the club level or the national team level, Chinese teams have fewer wins and more losses, and even the Chinese men's football team was once called "Korean phobia". Therefore, in this confrontation, many fans think that losing less is winning. After all, Suwon…

Shandong Luneng Taishan Football School was established in 1999 and has cultivated outstanding backbone talents for the club over the past two decades. It has also delivered elite players to various national teams, becoming a banner of professional football training in China since its inception. For Shandong Taishan fans, having an excellent football school that can self-sustain is undoubtedly a source of happiness and pride. Whenever new promising stars emerge from the football school, fans are always filled with joy, eagerly anticipating their success and hoping for their growth. However, the realization of hope often comes with its disappointment. Many young talents shine brightly at the beginning of their careers, carrying the high hopes of fans who wish for them to become mainstays of the team and pillars of the national team. But as time goes by, some players fall into the predicament of "injury to Zhong Yong," leaving only disappointment in the hearts of fans. Taking the past decade as an example: The eighth "injury to Zhong Yong" among the hopeful stars is Tang Shi. Born in 1995, Tang Shi had excellent skills and a strong reputation during his time at Shandong Luneng Football School. He was the same age and class as Wei Shihao, and together they left the school under the operation of an agent. They later joined Meizhou Hakka, went abroad, and returned to China several times before transferring to Beijing Guoan in 2017. At that time, the Chinese Football Association introduced the U23 policy, and under such favorable conditions, Tang Shi only made 15 appearances…
