After entering the winter break, Shandong Taishan has been quiet in the transfer market. However, the latest news from the Chinese Super League (CSL) transfer market indicates that Shandong Taishan will not agree to the return of Leonardo, the CSL Golden Boot winner, after his loan period expires. Instead, they will hand over this Brazilian powerhouse to their CSL rivals, Zhejiang FC, selling him outright to complete a permanent transfer. For Shandong Taishan, giving away such a powerful forward, who has consistently ranked high in the CSL scoring charts over multiple seasons, is indeed a very foolish decision. This decision not only confuses and puzzles the fans of Shandong Taishan but also adds uncertainty to the competitive landscape of the new CSL season. Leonardo, since joining the CSL, has quickly become a shining star on the field with his excellent physical qualities, precise shooting skills, and keen sense of goal. He has solid physical attributes and comprehensive abilities. As a striker, he possesses strong dominance within the penalty area, demonstrating high efficiency and threat whether it's heading or poaching at the feet. What's more valuable is that Leonardo is not just a "rough player" who relies solely on physical conditions. His positional awareness on the field, his understanding and coordination with teammates, as well as his calmness in handling the ball in critical moments, make him an indispensable core force in the team's offensive end. Looking back at Leonardo's performance during his loan spell with Zhejiang FC in the last two seasons since leaving Shandong Taishan, he undoubtedly proved his…

On January 1st, Beijing time, a video of Wang Manyu confronting Sun Yingsha during the women's team final of the Ping Pong Super League has been exposed. The two national team teammates engaged in an intense dispute, raising the question of who is actually the head coach of Shenzhen University. In the women's team final between Shandong Luneng and Shenzhen University, Luneng narrowly won the championship with a 3-2 victory. However, compared to the process of the final, there was a particular moment that sparked attention and discussion. This occurred during the fourth set of the fifth match between Wang Manyu and Tan Yuexuan, when the score was tied at 1:1, resulting in a significant controversial rally. Wang Manyu's return shot hit the net and bounced back, which Tan Yuexuan managed to return. At this point, Wang Manyu raised her hand to signal a pause in the game, believing that Tan Yuexuan's return had double-bounced, and thus should have been awarded a point to her. However, Tan Yuexuan did not agree, leading to a dispute. The referee initially ruled in favor of Shandong Luneng, awarding them the point. Sun Yingsha then led her team to argue their case, as they were already in the fifth match of the final, where every point was crucial. The score was clearly 1:1, but the referee's decision gave Wang Manyu an additional point, making it 2:1. Naturally, Sun Yingsha was not pleased and immediately pointed to the big screen above, requesting a replay review. Both sides began to engage in intense debate. At this…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the final championship battle of the 2024 season of the Chinese Table Tennis Super League has begun. The women's team has already finished first, and Shandong Luneng won the championship with a total score of 3 to 2 against Shenzhen University, making up for the regret of losing 2-3 in the previous final. This is the third time that Shandong Luneng has won the women's team championship in four years, and it is also their ninth championship. This match lasted for 4 hours and was very intense. Three sets were fought to the decisive game before the victory was decided. Sun Yingsha won two sets for Shenzhen University, both with a score of 3-2, showing how difficult it was to win. However, she was still unable to support herself alone, as her teammates Kuai Man and Tan Yuexuan failed to score, causing Sun Yingsha's efforts to go in vain. But they are still young and have more opportunities in the future. Wang Manyu, Chen Xintong, and Qian Tianyi from the Shandong team all performed well today, each scoring points. Chen Xintong scored two points for Shandong, and Wang Manyu stopped the opponent's hope of turning the tide in the decisive set. Controversial balls appeared again! In the decisive set, Tan Yuxuan faced Wang Manyu, and after the score was 1-1 in the fourth set, the referee ruled that the ball bounced twice on the table before Tan Yuxuan could receive it, thus awarding a point to Wang Manyu. However, the slow-motion replay showed that Tan…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the Ping Pong Super League (Ping Chao) finals concluded with Shandong Luneng winning the championship over Shenzhen University with a score of 3-2. However, the match was marred by controversy when a point involving Wang Manyu and Tan Yuxuan led to a ten-minute interruption and a surprising umpire decision. Wang Manyu faced off against Tan Yuxuan in the fifth match of the women's team event, which was a peak confrontation in the Ping Chao league. The previous four matches had ended in a 2-2 tie, with Sun Yingsha achieving consecutive victories over Wang Manyu and Qian Tianyi. However, Shandong Luneng secured wins in the women's doubles and Chen Xingtong's singles match. As they reached the fourth set, with Wang Manyu leading 2:1, a massive controversial rally occurred, which would become the most discussed moment of the final. At this critical juncture of the fifth match, where every point counted significantly, Wang Manyu and the 18-year-old Tan Yuxuan were tied at 1:1. Wang Manyu returned the ball with a net shot, which Tan Yuxuan managed to save. However, Wang Manyu believed that the ball had bounced twice on the table, while Tan Yuxuan insisted it only bounced once before she saved it. The umpire initially ruled it as a double bounce, awarding the point to Wang Manyu. But Shenzhen University's team was not satisfied, and the head umpire directly intervened in the match. It could be seen that Sun Yingsha also led her team to request a replay review, directly intervening in the rally. The entire…

On January 1st, Beijing time, coinciding with the New Year's Day, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year first! Next, let's shift our attention to the women's team final of the Ping Pong Super League finals, where Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng face off under the leadership of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and they finally meet each other. Before this women's team final, Sun Yingsha had already won against Wang Manyu five times in a row. However, considering the end-of-year form, it is clear that Wang Manyu is in better shape. But in this final, Wang Manyu's state was a bit too good. In the first game, she took a big lead over Sun Yingsha, directly creating an 8:4 advantage and taking the lead to win the set point. Although Sun Yingsha did not give up and was also catching up, she chased all the way to 9:10. However, Wang Manyu directly took the last point, winning the first set 11:9. The score of the first set was quite different, and when entering the second set, the score became even more exaggerated. Wang Manyu won the set with a score of 11:3, completely suppressing Sun Yingsha. After these two sets, it can be seen that Wang Manyu's touch and state today are just too good. And Sun Yingsha? It feels like she hasn't woken up yet, her state is completely unadjusted, and at the same time, she will make many low-level mistakes, which is not her normal performance at all. After the first two games, Sun…

Shandong Taishan's bench is indeed deep, with so many players leaving in different ways, yet still remaining well-stocked. If Liao Lisheng and Tong Lei really leave, it would be a bit of a pity, as they are not national team players from the Ivan period, but they are still at the level of national team players. It is expected that Patto, Fernandinho, Sun Guowen, Song Long, Ji Xiang, Duan Liu Yu, Qi Tianyu, and others will most likely not return. If Jadeson renews for another year, it would be fine, but if Old Cui wants to renew for three years, there is no chance. What is truly regrettable is the Brazilian striker Leonardo, who has been on loan. A foreign player capable of wreaking havoc in both the K League and the Chinese Super League, winning the Golden Boot in the 2023 season and the Silver Boot in the 2024 season, has been continuously abandoned by his old club and has been adrift for a long time, which is quite peculiar. The transfer situation for Taishan is not very active, and the team's assembly is also late. In the past, Taishan used to "get up early and rush to the market late," but this winter window, they didn't even get up early, hoping to catch up with the late market. Can foreign players like Enrique and Madruga be brought in? Taishan Club should decide as soon as possible! Media personality Miao Yuan revealed on Weibo: "Bringing in Aboubakar should be fake news, and Nene is temporarily being discussed by other…

The second stage finals of the 2024 season of the Chinese Ping Pong Super League kicked off on December 30th with the women's team semi-finals taking center stage. Shenzhen University Team defeated Shanghai Longteng Team 3-1 in the day's match, successfully advancing to the championship battle. Among them, the second singles match was particularly eye-catching, as Sun Yingsha faced He Zhuojia. This match was not only a contest of technique and tactics but also a testament to the deep friendship between two childhood friends who grew up together. He Zhuojia is well aware of Sun Yingsha's growth process, having served as her sparring partner in many major competitions, helping Sun Yingsha overcome technical shortcomings such as wide-angle attacks. Sun Yingsha is also familiar with He Zhuojia's strengths and weaknesses. On the court, both gave their all, showcasing their strengths, and ultimately Sun Yingsha won a reversal victory with a score of 3-1. After the game, both laughed happily, for them, being able to play an exciting match was more important than anything else. It is worth mentioning that WTT World Table Tennis Federation released Sun Yingsha's annual summary on the same day, praising her for becoming the first player to break through 10,000 world ranking points in 2024, highlighting her outstanding status in the table tennis world. Another semi-final took place between Shandong Luneng and Huangshi Base. Shandong Luneng's strong performance in the first stage made them the favorites to win the championship, with a strong overall team strength. In the first doubles match, Huangshi Base sent out the combination…

The year 2025 is just around the corner, and currently, various Chinese Super League (CSL) clubs are preparing for the new season, with many already having transfer targets in mind. It is believed that once the winter transfer window opens for the CSL, these clubs will quickly announce the signings of their new players. However, Shandong Taishan, a traditional powerhouse in the CSL, has not made significant moves in the recent transfer market. Instead, several key players have been confirmed to be leaving the team. Currently, Tong Lei, Sun Guowen, and Liao Lisheng have all confirmed their departures. In terms of foreign players, Pato and Delgado were unable to secure contract renewals with the club and have left the team. According to the latest news, Marcelo, the Brazilian central defender who joined the team this summer, has also not received a contract renewal from Taishan Club and will not be able to stay with the team next season. As a semi-professional player, Marcelo's performance in the league over the past half-season has far exceeded fans' expectations. He not only excelled defensively but also made contributions offensively, leading to his transfer value skyrocketing from 50,000 euros to 300,000 euros. Despite this, after careful consideration, the senior management of Taishan Club decided not to renew Marcelo's contract. Although Marcelo is a cost-effective foreign central defender, Taishan hopes to perform better in the upcoming CSL and FA Cup seasons, even aiming to compete for the championship. With this goal in mind, the club believes it needs to bring in higher-level players to enhance…
