In the previous five finals, Shandong Luneng won three championships, while Shenzhen University won two! Who will win the championship this sixth time?

In the third match, Chen Xingtong faced Muyuan Meiyu from Huangshi Base and played aggressively, sweeping her opponent 3-0! Thus, Shandong Luneng successfully met Shenzhen University in the finals! After the game, when the Shandong Luneng players were interviewed, they were asked what advantages they had in the final against Shenzhen University. Chen Xingtong's three words made the audience laugh, as she said: "Older age!" Why did Chen Xingtong say that Shandong Luneng's advantage lies in being older? Because this time, the four players from Shenzhen University are all very young, with the oldest being 24-year-old Sun Yingsha. Additionally, Kuai Man is 20 years old, Tan Yuxuan is 18 years old, and their foreign…

In another matchup, Shandong Luneng Team will compete against Huangshi Base · Huaxin Team. Shandong Luneng Team has shown strong dominance since the first stage.

The rear waist is about to arrive, with Shandong Taishan offering 1 million euros, a talent cultivated by Luneng Brazilian Sports. Currently, Shandong Taishan is still on vacation, but the team will soon reconvene to start their winter training. During this off-season, fans are still looking forward to Taishan strengthening their lineup, especially in terms of foreign players, hoping for some surprises. Last season, Taishan suffered significantly in the foreign player department, so if they want to achieve anything in the new season, they must strengthen their foreign player roster. Last season, Taishan exposed their midfield shortcomings after Moises left. They lacked a core player in the defensive midfield position. However, recently, good news has finally come for Taishan. According to Brazilian media reports, Shandong Taishan Football Club has submitted an offer of up to 1 million US dollars to a club in the Brazilian Serie A league, aiming to introduce their defensive midfielder - Guilherme Miranda Madruga Gomes, the winner of the 2023 Puskás Award. Madruga was born in 2000 and stands at 1.91 meters tall. He plays as a midfielder on the field, possessing excellent physical qualities and outstanding football talent. Moreover, he is an outstanding player cultivated by Luneng Brazilian Sports. As early as 2017, he was discovered by Luneng Brazilian Sports Club and joined their youth team. While in the youth team, Madruga participated in multiple events, notably, he also followed the team to participate in the 2018 Weifang Cup. During the Weifang Cup, he was rated as one of the best players due to his…

On the first day of competition, two women's team semi-finals were held, with Sun Yingsha leading the Shenzhen University team and Wang Manyu leading the Shandong Luneng team winning their respective opponents 3-1 and 3-0 to advance to the finals.

Shandong Luneng Wins 9-0, Finals Look Like Training Matches! Kuai Man Scores 1 Point, Even Sun Yingsha Might Not Get 2 On December 30th, Beijing time, Shandong Luneng is really too fierce. They turned the semi-finals into training matches with three 3:0 victories. How should Sun Yingsha and Shenzhen University compete? The final match between Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng is a showdown in the women's team final of the Ping Super League. However, what makes Sun Yingsha and Shenzhen University desperate is that Shandong Luneng is really too strong. Every athlete on their team is not only at the national level but also in excellent form and extremely powerful. In the women's team semi-final of the Ping Super League against Huangshi Base, Shandong Luneng directly overwhelmed Huangshi Base with a score of 9:0, leaving them no chance at all. All three matches were crushing victories. It's impressive to say that with this kind of strength, they turned the semi-finals of the Ping Super League into training matches. It's tough for Shenzhen University. In the first match, national-level women's doubles Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi showed their skills, facing the combination of Mihara Miyuu and Cheng Hsien-chih from Huangshi Base, they won 3-0 in a domineering manner, and on average only allowed the opponents to score 7 points per set, leaving the opponents with basically no chances. It can only be said that when national-level women's doubles like Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi come to play such games, it does seem like a bit of a dimensional reduction strike. But…

Shandong Luneng's performance in the 2024 season can be described as disappointing. As a traditional powerhouse in Chinese football, the team not only finished fifth in the league, missing out on the AFC Champions League qualification, but also lost to Shanghai Port in the FA Cup final, losing their last chance to qualify for the AFC Champions League. Such results are undoubtedly a heavy blow to an ambitious team, and it can be said that they have experienced a complete "four empties" season. In this context, the team should have made a decision on the future of head coach Choi Kang-hee. However, due to the oversight at the time of signing, the contract did not include clauses related to performance, which put Shandong Luneng in an awkward situation. If the club were to unilaterally terminate its contract with Choi Kang-hee, it would have to pay a high breach of contract fee of 40 million yuan. This huge expenditure is no small amount for any CSL team, especially under the current tight economic environment in Chinese football. This thorny issue not only affects the team's daily operations but also seriously hinders the preparations for the new season, especially in terms of transfer planning. To avoid further passivity, the club has taken a series of measures to deal with this situation. First, they made a key decision: to take back Choi Kang-hee's transfer rights and firmly grasp the decision-making power for new season transfers in the hands of the club. More importantly, Shandong media reported that the club is actively promoting the…

In this article, we delve into the highly anticipated FA Cup final showdown between Shanghai Port and Shandong Taishan. The match is set to take place on Saturday evening at 6:30 PM, with CCTV5 providing live coverage. The significance of this match extends beyond a mere final; it represents an opportunity for both teams to secure their season's honor and influence. The victor will be able to conclude their season on a high note. Shanghai Port has been performing exceptionally well in the Chinese Super League (CSL), boasting a record of 25 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses across 30 matches, conceding only 12 points. Their dominance was further solidified by a 5-1 victory over Tianjin Tigers in the last round, allowing them to successfully defend their CSL title against their local rivals, Shanghai Shenhua. Shanghai Port's strength is undeniable, featuring top-tier players such as Oscar, Bargas, Jusa, Citadini, and Gustavo, who have proven to be formidable forces. Additionally, national team player Wu Lei, known for his keen sense of goal and offensive prowess, has been instrumental in previous encounters against Shandong Taishan. Wu Lei, who has been recuperating well, is now ready to showcase his skills in the FA Cup final. If he can lead his team to win the double crown, the Ballon d'Or may already be within his grasp, a well-deserved recognition for him. On the other hand, Shandong Taishan's performance this season has been somewhat disappointing. They finished fifth in the CSL, missing out on qualification for next season's AFC Champions League, which is a significant…

In the 2024 season of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shandong Luneng failed to achieve their desired results, finishing fifth in the league standings. This outcome meant they lost the chance to directly qualify for the AFC Champions League Elite Division. Additionally, they were defeated by Shanghai Port FC in the FA Cup final, leaving them with no significant achievements for the entire season. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow for Shandong Luneng and left their fans feeling disappointed. What further complicates matters for Shandong Luneng's management is that their contract with current head coach Choi Kang-hee does not include performance-based conditions. This means that even if the team performs poorly, they cannot directly dismiss Choi Kang-hee without paying a high termination fee of up to 40 million yuan. This situation adds uncertainty to Shandong Luneng's future. However, amidst these challenges, Shandong Luneng has also seen new hope. According to Shandong media reports, former player Su Maozhen has passed the interview with Shandong Luneng's vice president, and both parties are discussing details. There is a possibility that Su Maozhen will return to Shandong Luneng soon. This news brings comfort to the fans. As a legendary figure of Shandong Luneng, Su Maozhen's return is expected to inject new vitality and confidence into the team. It also suggests that the future transfer power of Shandong Luneng might fall into Su Maozhen's hands, bringing new opportunities for the team's development. Before Su Maozhen takes office, there is also new momentum in Shandong Luneng's transfer activities. According to Turkish media STAR, the CSL team…

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…

In the long history of Chinese football, Su Maozhen is undoubtedly a shining star. As the best striker in the hearts of many fans in the history of the Chinese men's football team, his career was filled with brilliance and regret. At the peak of his career at the age of 30, Su Maozhen chose to retire, a decision that is still lamented by many fans to this day. Despite receiving invitations from multiple teams at the time, he resolutely chose to hang up his boots out of deep affection for Shandong football. After retiring, Su Maozhen did not stay away from football. He poured his passion and talent into youth training. At the Shandong Luneng Football School, he served as the head coach of the youth team, cultivating batch after batch of young players with a rigorous attitude and professional skills. His efforts were recognized, and he was later transferred to coach the national team's youth ranks, contributing to the future of Chinese football. However, despite achieving remarkable success in youth training, Su Maozhen never returned to the first team of Shandong Luneng. He went in and out of Qingdao men's football several times and served as the executive coach of Beigti University, but he never found the stage that would allow him to soar again. It wasn't until December 2023 when Su Maozhen returned to Qingdao Hainiu as the head of the Chinese coaching staff that his football career seemed to have a new turning point. But Su Maozhen's football story did not end there. Recently, he passed…
