Who is the winner of this trade? The news that Zhong Yihao is close to joining the Shandong Taishan team has caused a heated discussion among fans. Some people believe that the Taishan team has completely made up for the shortcoming of the left-back position through this operation, while Henan team has gained two potential players and laid the foundation for the future. However, some people question whether such a transaction is really beneficial to both sides? What impact will the mobility of young players have on their careers? As an all-round player, Zhong Yihao has always been the backbone of Henan team. He can not only play as a left-back but also act as a midfielder, with comprehensive skills and strong adaptability. Last season, he performed very steadily in the Chinese Super League, capable of attacking and defending, and could even send assists at critical moments. For the Taishan team, such immediate combat effectiveness is absolutely rare. In recent years, the left-back position of the Taishan team has always been a weakness. Although Liu Yang is an experienced player, his state has been somewhat unstable, often criticized for "losing Jingzhou due to carelessness." The addition of Zhong Yihao undoubtedly brings new competition to the left-back position and gives Cui Kangxi more options in lineup arrangements. However, whether he can quickly integrate into the team and form a benign competition with Liu Yang is also a great challenge for Zhong Yihao. Compared with Zhong Yihao's success, the departure of two young players has made some fans feel sorry. Jia Fei…

Choi Kang-hee's stay with Shandong Luneng seems to be driven by a desire to lead the team to success or simply an unwillingness to give up his high salary. This tug-of-war between the club and the coach has become a classic challenge in the Chinese Super League (CSL): one side is unwilling to compromise, while the other cannot afford to waste time. On the surface, this appears to be a contract dispute, but it hides the rapidly changing unwritten rules and conflicts of interest in professional football. When mentioning Choi Kang-hee, most fans recall his glorious days at Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. Back then, the tough Korean coach, with his firm approach and clear tactical vision, transformed Jeonbuk into Asian champions and was repeatedly named the best coach in Korea. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was a prominent figure among coaches in Asian football over the past decade. During the peak of his coaching career, people's trust in his repeated achievements even made Choi Kang-hee a representative of Korean coaches "exporting" to the CSL. However, the glory of those days can only remain in memory now. Choi Kang-hee currently finds himself in a dilemma: staying with Luneng leads to conflicts; wanting to leave, yet without an ideal next team to join. Although there are rumors that Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors might be interested in recalling this former hero, the reality is that he is just one of the candidates and not a priority for Jeonbuk. The shift from being highly regarded to becoming a "backup option" reflects not only…

Recently, the official announcement from the Chinese Super League (CSL) revealed that Wang Dali has been awarded the title of Best Goalkeeper for the 2024 season. This news came as a surprise to many fans of Shandong Luneng, as they had anticipated that either Bao Yaxiong or Yan Junling would be more likely candidates for the honor. Bao Yaxiong was the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded in the 2024 season and led Shanghai Shenhua to a second-place finish in the league. Additionally, considering the encouragement of new talent, it seemed appropriate for Bao Yaxiong to receive the award. Over the past decade, the Best Goalkeeper award has been dominated by Zeng Cheng, Yan Junling, and Wang Dali, with Yan Junling claiming the title consecutively. Wang Dali's performance for Luneng in the previous season did not provide a compelling case for his selection. In a match against Shanghai Shenhua, he conceded six goals, which left Shandong fans unimpressed. Fans felt that Wang Dali should step aside for the younger goalkeeper, Yu Jinyong, who had an impressive outing when given the chance to start in a CSL match. Yu Jinyong's solid performance against Qingdao West Coast raised expectations among Luneng supporters, who believed he should replace Wang Dali as the first-choice goalkeeper. Despite the doubts surrounding Wang Dali's selection, the question remains: what were the criteria for choosing him as the Best Goalkeeper? Could it be because he is the starting goalkeeper for the national team? Even if we consider his international matches, Wang Dali's performance does not seem to meet…

In the early days of 2025's Chinese football transfer market, Shanghai Shenhua Club completed an important signing, with former Arsenal and Beijing Guoan player Li Ke officially joining the team. This transfer not only attracted widespread attention from the football world but also demonstrated Shenhua's thoughtful planning for the new season. Recently, Li Ke was seen at Shanghai Airport wearing a Shenhua scarf, marking the official start of his Shenhua career. This moment was hard-won, as before this, Li Ke's destination had been a mystery. Multiple media outlets reported that he had close ties with Chengdu Rongcheng, and there were even rumors that he would soon join Rongcheng, making the final result of him joining Shenhua quite dramatic. A careful analysis of Shenhua's decision to sign Li Ke reveals that it was a well-considered choice. Firstly, Shenhua is currently facing the issue of updating its naturalized players. The previous naturalized player who played for the team, Fernando, did not perform well last season and failed to demonstrate convincing abilities, which directly led to difficulties in continuing his stay at the club. In this situation, Shenhua urgently needs a new naturalized player to fill the gap. Secondly, looking at the team's lineup structure, Shenhua's defensive midfielder position urgently needs reinforcement. The team's current main defensive midfielder, Wu Xi, is already 36 years old, and although experienced, his age makes it difficult for him to maintain peak form. The young player Wang Haijian, who the team has focused on cultivating, has potential but lacks consistency in performance. Therefore, bringing in an experienced…

Chinese table tennis Olympic champion Wang Manyu has become the focus of fans' discussions due to the exposure of details regarding death threats against her. It has been revealed that there was a reason for her being escorted by bodyguards, and it was not because Wang Manyu was acting like a diva. Renowned journalist He Xiaolong updated his personal social media to narrate the whole story; let's take a look at the specifics together! Journalist He Xiaolong disclosed on his personal social media the details of the death threats against Wang Manyu: The incident occurred recently at a table tennis super league event, where some spectators attacked and insulted Wang Manyu, with someone even shouting "Kill her." Under these circumstances, Luneng Club made the right decision to hire bodyguards to escort Wang Manyu to the airport, providing her with sufficient security protection, which is indeed worthy of everyone's praise! He Xiaolong's revelation has attracted the attention of many netizens, who have left messages in the comment section to express their opinions. One hot comment reads: "I went to watch the women's team final on-site, and the viewing experience was very poor! There was a feeling at the scene that whoever was the opponent of Shenzhen University would bully the opposing players, and it was no longer a sports competition where both sides cheered each other on for their exciting matches! The viewing experience was too bad!" He Xiaolong finally pointed out that the table tennis fan circle is too crazy and called on the Chinese Table Tennis Association to stop…

Translation: The Qingdao Seacow team performed mediocrely in both the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup last season, leading to doubts about the coaching abilities of their head coach, Yassen. After comprehensive consideration, the Seacows have decided to appoint the young coach Li Xiaopeng as their new head coach. Li Xiaopeng's appointment as the new head coach of the Seacows is a widely anticipated move. Last season, when he served as the head coach of the Cangzhou Lions, he had commendable performances. The Cangzhou Lions were able to complete their relegation battle in the Chinese Super League despite being on the brink of relegation, thanks to Li Xiaopeng's on-site command and tactical arrangements. Unfortunately, after completing the relegation task in the Chinese Super League, the club's wage arrears issue remained unresolved. Therefore, Li Xiaopeng chose to leave the Cangzhou Lions and take over his hometown team, the Seacows. With the assistance of this young coach, the Seacows are sure to undergo a qualitative change. At the same time, Li Xiaopeng is preparing to give newcomer Cao Zheng an opportunity at the goalkeeper position. This is because the Seacows' main goalkeeper, Mu Pengfei, is already an aging veteran. Mu Pengfei performed mediocrely for the Seacows last season, making some unexpected mistakes in key matches. Therefore, it is a correct decision for Li Xiaopeng to prepare for the future by cultivating Cao Zheng to take over. Cao Zheng is a very promising goalkeeper who has previously played as a starter for Luneng. At that time, Luneng was affected by special reasons…

Recently, the TaiShan team has officially begun its winter training schedule for the new season of the Chinese Super League. Due to the fact that many national-level players from the TaiShan team will be called up for training, head coach Choi Kang-hee will fully delegate the opportunity for second-team players to take on major roles in the first team. Among them, Zhang Yingkai, the main defender of the TaiShan team, is expected to become a dark horse in the team and become a new favorite of coach Choi Kang-hee by registering for the first team. Zhang Yingkai is an outstanding product of Luneng's 04 youth training program, alongside Buwalang and He Xiaoke. At that time, Luneng was affected by special reasons and was unable to send its first team to participate in the AFC Champions League. After comprehensive consideration, Luneng sent out its youth team to play in the competition. Zhang Yingkai played as the team's main defender, facing off against many Asian giants. Zhang Yingkai demonstrated the spirit of a young bull not afraid of tigers in the game, earning recognition. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yingkai's tackle statistics ranked first in that season's AFC Champions League, becoming a true AFC Champions League tackle king. Therefore, after many Luneng fans participated in the AFC Champions League, they could enter the first team to take on major roles. Unfortunately, Zhang Yingkai never met his mentor. Hao Wei did not give this AFC Champions League tackle king the opportunity to enter the first team, which made him feel very frustrated.…

As the 2025 season of the Chinese Super League approaches, Wuhan Three Towns Club is actively adjusting its lineup, with the most notable being their interest in signing Shijiazhuang Ever Bright's main goalkeeper, Shao Pu Liang. This potential transfer not only concerns the future development of both clubs but will also affect the career plans of many players. Shao Pu Liang's career can be seen as a microcosm of Chinese football. He initially played for Shandong Luneng, a club with deep roots in Chinese football that provided him with his starting point in his career. However, during his time at Luneng, Shao Pu Liang never managed to secure stable playing opportunities and was long considered the team's third-choice goalkeeper. Especially during Wang Dalei's tenure as the team's main goalkeeper, Shao Pu Liang found it even harder to get playing time, which led this promising young goalkeeper to consider his career direction. After careful consideration, Shao Pu Liang made a crucial decision in his career: to transfer to the then Shijiazhuang Yongchang team. This choice ultimately proved to be correct, and in the new environment, Shao Pu Liang quickly demonstrated his abilities, becoming the team's main goalkeeper. During his time with Shijiazhuang Yongchang, whenever the team's defense faced danger, Shao Pu Liang could always react promptly, showcasing his high-level goalkeeping skills and on-field adaptability. As the team changed its name from Shijiazhuang Yongchang to Cangzhou Mighty Lions, Shao Pu Liang not only continued to serve as the team's main goalkeeper but was also appointed captain, fully demonstrating the club's recognition of…

The training camp of Luneng Brazilian Sports in China has received extensive attention from fans. During their training in China, they will also play several friendly matches with Chinese teams, which is intended to allow Chinese teams to better evaluate the players of Brazilian Sports. Luneng will also recommend the players of Brazilian Sports to Chinese teams. In the future, Brazilian Sports will deepen their cooperation with Chinese football. The first opponent chosen by Luneng Brazilian Sports for the friendly match was Tai Shan B Team, which can be considered an internal game of Luneng. However, judging from the result of the game, it was a completely one-sided match. The game was divided into three sections, each lasting 30 minutes. After 90 minutes of competition, Luneng Brazilian Sports won Tai Shan B Team with a score of 6-0, showing a significant gap in strength between the two sides. Tai Shan B Team had no power to fight back at all. It is worth mentioning that in this game, Kayo from Luneng Brazilian Sports scored two goals alone, making great contributions to the team's victory. Tai Shan fans are not unfamiliar with Kayo. During the summer window last season, Kayo trained with Tai Shan Team for about a month. At that time, Kayo was actually recognized by the team, but Cui Kangxi insisted on introducing a central defender. Eventually, Marcel joined Tai Shan Team without a day of trial, and Kayo had to leave helplessly. Looking at Kayo's performance now, he could have stayed with Tai Shan Team. Kayo plays as…

In the off-season of the Chinese Super League (CSL), the relationship between Shandong Luneng Club and its head coach Choi Kang-hee has become embroiled in a complex game of strategy. At the heart of this dispute lies the issue of transfer decision-making power and a substantial severance package, with rumors involving Jeonbuk Hyundai adding to the complexity of the situation! The current impasse stems from fundamental disagreements over core interests. Choi Kang-hee is seeking control over the team's transfer decisions, which not only affects his influence over the team but also closely ties into the economic interests of his coaching staff. However, Shandong Luneng's stance is quite clear: with Su Maozhen set to return, the club will not grant Choi Kang-hee transfer decision-making power. Nevertheless, if he is willing to continue coaching, the club welcomes him. The most critical factor in this tug-of-war is the hefty team severance package worth 40 million yuan. In the context of CSL clubs generally keeping annual investments around 100 million yuan, this severance package undoubtedly poses a significant burden for Shandong Luneng. More challenging is the fact that the original contract did not include any clauses linking severance to performance outcomes, leaving the club without legal grounds for unilateral termination. Recently, news of a vacant coaching position at Jeonbuk Hyundai in South Korea has introduced new variables into this stalemate. Although Choi Kang-hee was included on the shortlist, according to well-known journalist "Who's Good at Selling Cute," Jeonbuk Hyundai has not seriously considered Choi Kang-hee, using him more as a bargaining chip in negotiations.…
