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…

Heroes Compete in Haikou, Mount Tai Trains in the Cold! Tang Chuang Leaves, No Domestic Reinforcements, Dongti: Choi Kang-hee Reluctant to Play Friendlies Winter training and drills, who wouldn't want to go somewhere warm? Shanghai Port went to Abu Dhabi, while teams like Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan, Chengdu Rongcheng, Changchun Yatai, Qingdao West Coast, Dalian Yibo, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, China League One's Nantong Zhiyun, and Chongqing Tongliang Long all went to Haikou. They can easily arrange friendly matches on-site, but Shandong Taishan has moved to the Bund for winter training in the cold! Choi Kang-hee is a "fool"! The relegation-threatened team, Changchun Yatai, won 4-1 against Qingdao West Coast in a friendly match in Haikou. On January 22nd, Yatai will face Chongqing Tongliang Long for their fourth teaching match of the Haikou winter training. Since Li Xiaopeng took over Qingdao Hainiu, players like Hao Junmin and Liu Zhenli joined the coaching staff, strengthening the team and getting back on track. Recently, they completed a friendly match against Shandong Taishan B team, with Hainiu winning 3-0. However, Taishan is training in Shanghai during the winter, and since neither of the Shanghai teams are there, there are "no" opponents. It seems that Taishan's goal for the new season will not be set too high. Some fans jokingly say, "We need to avoid relegation." With old Cui and Jinan Wen L in place, avoiding relegation is not impossible, but the team needs to complete its generational change. Don't just drift along. As an old club in the Chinese Super League, how can you…

In 2025, teams are busily preparing for the new season. Recently, a piece of news from Shandong Taishan Team has set off a storm among fans - they are holding a series of friendly matches. This news is like a reassurance pill, filling fans with anticipation for the new season. This friendly match is not simple; it hides many subtle intentions for the new season of Taishan Team. Among them, the most attention-grabbing is the participation of Brazil DB Team. This youth training team established by Taishan Team in Brazil will cross the ocean to China, train together with Taishan B Team, and engage in warm-up matches. This not only demonstrates Taishan Team's emphasis on youth training but also reflects their global layout. The arrival of the Brazil DB Team has brought a breath of fresh air to Taishan Team. These young players have undergone rigorous training in Brazil and are not to be underestimated in terms of strength. Competing against Taishan B Team can not only enhance their competitive level but also help them better adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League. It is also a rare opportunity for training, allowing them to test themselves in actual combat and lay a solid foundation for their future careers. Another important purpose of the friendly match is to strengthen the lineup of Taishan's first team.

On the 13th, the Chinese Super League transfer market became a hot topic of discussion. Leonardo, the "unexpected foreign aid," finally officially transferred to join Shanghai Port after experiencing many twists and turns. The transfer fee is about 10 million RMB (approximately 1.3 million euros), which is considered a suitable price for Taishan team. For Leonardo, this may be a new starting point. Speaking of Leonardo's experience at Shandong Taishan, it can be described as tortuous and bizarre. In 2021, Leonardo transferred from Urawa Reds to Taishan team, with a transfer fee of 2.1 million euros at that time, and a contract period of up to 5 years. However, unexpectedly, after joining Taishan team, his performance and position were not ideal. In two years, he only played 8 games for Taishan team, scoring a total of 1 goal. Even so, Taishan team still rented him out many times, giving him opportunities to find his form again in other clubs. After seeing this transfer news, some netizens commented: "Isn't this just 'divorce and reorganization'? He did pretty well last year at Zhejiang team, but Taishan team didn't give him many chances, instead they sold him, it's really confusing." Leonardo performed well during his rental period, especially in the 2023 season, when he scored 19 goals in the Chinese Super League and won the Golden Boot award. This performance greatly improved his evaluation in the outside world. In the 2024 season, he transferred to Zhejiang team again and continued to maintain a strong performance, contributing 21 goals and eventually winning the Silver…

Shandong Taishan's foreign aid introduction plan has really excited the fans. In the past season, Taishan's performance in the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup was disappointing - everyone knows the reason for the defeat, which is the low efficiency of foreign aid use. Almost every game, fans watched the team's weak attack, unstable defense, and the performance of foreign aid made people sweat. Therefore, the team management finally made up their minds and started a reshaping plan for the new season. They not only want to maintain strong firepower on the offensive line but also perform major surgery on the defensive line, especially the introduction of foreign aid for the midfield and central defender positions, which have become the top priority this winter window. For Shandong Taishan, retaining three attacking foreign aids - Crescencio, Zeka, and Kazaishvili, is almost the team's must-kill trio. These three can be said to be the most reliable force in Taishan's offensive end last season. In the later stage of the league, it was their super performance that helped Taishan stabilize the competitiveness of the season. Especially Crescencio, who is still the absolute core of the team's offense, his presence makes the opponent's defense like facing a formidable enemy. And Zeka's speed and Kazaishvili's dribbling skills also brought many unexpected sparks of attack to Taishan. To say that their three tacit cooperation is simply like an invincible trio, even if they encounter stronger opponents, they can always find a glimmer of opportunity. Everyone knows that football matches cannot just rely on the singles…

The article discusses the recent developments in the Chinese Super League (CSL) involving the Shandong Taishan Football Club and its coach, Choi Kang-hee. The team suffered a 0-6 defeat, leading to the implementation of military-style management under Choi's leadership. Two veteran players, Ji Xiang and Song Long, were reportedly forced to leave the team after being barred from training and gym facilities. Additionally, there was mention of a motorcycle being sent away without significant conflict. The article reflects on the complex relationships within the CSL, where experienced players often remain until their mid-thirties without much turnover. Younger players between the ages of 12 and 18 struggle to find opportunities to rise through the ranks or play in matches. The author suggests that only by implementing new policies to reduce the number of foreign players can these issues be resolved. There is also discussion about the physical toll on the team, with injuries plaguing the squad since the beginning of the year. The author expresses frustration with the situation, referring to Choi as a "master manipulator among manipulators." The article questions the contract situation between Choi and the club, suggesting that unless certain conditions are met, it would be difficult to terminate the contract early. There is speculation about Choi's potential return if the team performs well in upcoming matches. The author also compares Choi's training methods to those of another coach, Magath, who did not experience widespread injuries despite intense training. There is criticism of the current training approach, which some believe is outdated and has led to numerous injuries.…

After entering January, the Chinese Super League teams have embarked on their winter training journey in a flurry, which is a crucial period for accumulating energy and refining tactics for the new season. Amidst this wave of winter training, many new signings have made their debuts on the training ground, becoming the focus of attention, including Tang Chuang, the domestic tall striker who played for Chengdu Rongcheng last season. Last season, Tang Chuang's performance in the Chinese Super League was nothing short of spectacular. Despite not being an undisputed starter for the team, he managed to score 3 goals through his relentless efforts and outstanding displays. In the competitive Chinese Super League, every goal is hard-won. For example, in a key match against a strong opponent, Tang Chuang came off the bench and, with his excellent heading ability, scored the equalizing goal in the dying moments of the game, earning valuable points for the team. However, after the end of last season, Tang Chuang, whose contract had expired, resolutely rejected the offer to renew with Rongcheng Club. His intentions were clear: to join Shandong Taishan in search of broader development opportunities and more playing time. Earlier this week, Tang Chuang was spotted in Shanghai, dazzlingly appearing in Taishan's jersey. His tall figure and confident demeanor filled many Shandong fans with anticipation. From a technical standpoint, as a tall striker, Tang Chuang possesses remarkable heading and physical combat abilities, which seem to perfectly align with head coach Cui Kangxi's emphasis on aerial bombardment and physical confrontation. Many believed that his arrival…

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…

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.

In order to achieve outstanding results and stand out in the new season of the Chinese Super League, various teams are currently pushing forward with winter training with great enthusiasm. Clubs with strong financial resources have decisively gone overseas for training, hoping to reach international advanced training models and have opportunities to compete with high-level teams; while clubs with relatively insufficient funds can only conduct winter training domestically. China has a vast territory with significant climate differences across regions, becoming extremely cold during winter. Therefore, teams conducting domestic winter training mostly choose warm and comfortable southern locations. Places like Hainan and Guangdong are highly favored by many teams, becoming their top choices. These areas not only have pleasant climates but also come equipped with complete and well-maintained training facilities. Before the friendly match against the Sea Cows team unfolded, Brazil Sports was in high spirits, achieving consecutive victories in four matches, with the players' competitive state being exceptionally good. In this match, Brazil Sports maintained its strong offensive momentum. As soon as the whistle blew, they charged towards Qingdao Seacows with an overwhelming force, unleashing fierce attacks. Unexpectedly, it was Qingdao Seacows who first broke the deadlock and scored a goal. During an excellent counter-attack, the experienced 35-year-old veteran Song Long, relying on his keen observation skills and outstanding ability to seize opportunities accumulated from years of playing, quickly seized the fleeting opportunity and decisively shot, successfully sending the ball into the opponent's goal, allowing the Seacows to temporarily take the lead with a score of 1-0. The MVP of…
