Dust Settles! Taishan's General Huang Zhengyu Joins Shanghai Port, New Season's Heavy Responsibilities Revealed January 19, 2025, Beijing Time - Let's continue to pay attention to the domestic football scene 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. The new season of the Shandong Taishan team faces a significant challenge of personnel changes. Among them, the departure of foreign players Pato, Jadson, and Marcelo undoubtedly had a considerable impact on the team. In addition, local players 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 significant; Tang Chuang did not pass the trial and has already left the team, while foreign players Madruga and Gazal are about to join the team. Moreover, national team members Wang Dalei, Xie Weneng, Li Yuan, Huang Zhenyu, Gao Zhunyi, and Mai Wu Lang have ended their national team training preparations and returned to the club to prepare for the new season. Recently, many media outlets reported that Huang Zhengyu, the midfield core of the Shandong Taishan team, would join the Shanghai Port team. However, at 9:48 am on the 19th, Jiang, the president of the Shandong Orange Wave Fan Club, confirmed: "The news that Huang Zhengyu joined Shanghai Port is false; he will stay with the Shandong Taishan…

Shenhua, Guo'an, Jinmen Tiger, and Dalian Yibo are among the teams that have been actively participating in warm-up matches in Haikou. The trial players of each team have already made their appearances, with the situation being largely open to the public. However, this is not the case for Shandong Taishan, who has been training alone in Shanghai, becoming a "lone ranger." They have no warm-up matches to polish their lineup, and even head coach Choi Kang-hee has rarely been seen in public. The only good news is that the national team has concluded its training camp, and six key national players, including Wang Dalei, Li Yuan, and Xie Wen, have returned to participate in training. Shandong Taishan has always been a major source of national team players. In this training camp, Maewulong made his first selection, impressing Ivankovic with his active running and tackling, and is expected to follow in the footsteps of Xie Wen's success. It must be acknowledged that it was Choi Kang-hee who gave him the opportunity to play, which allowed him to be noticed by the national team. Although only 12 appearances may seem insignificant, for a 20-year-old young player, it is already quite remarkable. Among the "several sins" attributed to Choi Kang-hee, the criticism that he does not give young players opportunities is somewhat biased. According to Shandong media "Lightning Sports," the trial of local forward Tang Chuang at Taishan did not yield ideal results, and it is highly likely that he will not join the team. Previously, Taishan officially announced Tang Chuang's arrival, using…

Currently, the Shandong Taishan team is preparing for the off-season in Shanghai. For the Taishan team, this off-season is very important. The team needs to seize the opportunity to strengthen itself. According to media reports, two new foreign players are about to join the team, which means that the Taishan team will have a total of 5 foreign players. In the new season, the Taishan team must not suffer any more losses in terms of foreign aid. In terms of domestic players, the Taishan team has not yet made any significant signings. Previously, there were rumors that Zhong Yihao would join, but he has not arrived yet and is currently training with the Henan team. It seems that the possibility of him joining the Taishan team is becoming smaller and smaller. Among the new domestic signings, only Tang Chuang is currently training with the Taishan team. Tang Chuang's joining could actually enhance the strength of the Taishan team in the center forward position, giving Choi Kang-hee more options. However, although Tang Chuang has been with the Taishan team for some time, the club has not officially announced his signing. It can be said that Tang Chuang is still in the trial stage. Recently, according to media reports, there may be changes in Tang Chuang's joining the Taishan team. According to media personality Miao Yuan, there are indeed variables in Tang Chuang's joining the Taishan team. His role is to compete for the substitute forward position. Although his performance last season was well-received, it seems that Tang Chuang may not be…

Foreign Aid in Flux! Shandong Taishan's Team Reporter Reveals Incoming Center Back, Midfielder in Doubt Oh boy, fellow die-hard fans of Shandong Taishan, today we must discuss the nail-biting and anticipated transfer saga! Do you recall that big-mouthed Li Pingkang from the football circle who confidently declared that our Taishan team would secure two new foreign players this week - midfielder Madruga and center back Lucas Gazal? Well, it's already Friday, and these two guys are still playing hide-and-seek; not even a shadow has been seen. Isn't it clear that this is driving us fans crazy with anxiety? Our reliable team reporter, Niuzhiming, a straightforward guy, spilled the beans during a live broadcast. He said that things might have changed again with these two transfers. The national team players will return on the 20th, but as for the foreign players, they're expected to arrive around the 22nd. However, the good news is that Lucas seems to be a done deal with no major issues. But Madruga, oh boy, that's uncertain! You might wonder, Madruga is a product of Luneng Brazilian Sports; his return to Taishan should be a natural progression. But this time, why is he playing "hide-and-seek" with us? Niuzhiming didn't elaborate on the specifics, but our hearts are racing like ants on a hot pot, anxiously circling! However, don't get too worked up; Taishan isn't a pushover. Niuzhiming also revealed that although Madruga's situation is causing a headache, Taishan has prepared alternative plans. It's rumored that one or two heavyweight foreign midfielders are waiting in the wings, ready…

Shandong Taishan Team is making steady preparations for the new season, with the most eye-catching event being the addition of new signing Tang Chuang. Under the leadership of head coach Choi Kang-hee, the team has welcomed this promising forward, and Tang Chuang has quickly won the recognition of the coaching staff and fans with his performance. Tang Chuang is a young forward born in 1996, currently at the prime of his career. On his first training session with Taishan Team, he displayed an impressive professional attitude and technical ability. His serious and focused training attitude, coupled with flexible and varied positioning awareness, immediately caught the attention of the fans and coaching staff on site. Many fans, after watching his training performance, expressed that Tang Chuang's strength is significantly better than that of Bi Jinhao, who joined last season. This comparison is not without basis. First, from the age perspective, Tang Chuang, as a 26-year-old player, is at the best stage of his career, with both physical functions and technical levels at their peak. During his time with Chengdu Rongcheng last season, Tang Chuang demonstrated outstanding attacking abilities, especially in the match against Shanghai Port, where he scored twice in a spectacular performance. This match became an important reference for Taishan Team to bring him in. In contrast, Bi Jinhao was already 33 years old when he joined Taishan Team, at the declining stage of his career. Prior to this, his performance with Changchun Yatai had already shown signs of physical decline, and many fans considered his signing to be controversial.…

Recently, the news of Shandong Taishan renewing their contract with Liu Guobo has caught the attention of many fans. However, this renewal is not a major headline, as the details of the contract have not been disclosed in depth, and even the specific duration has not been explicitly stated. According to the official website of Transfermarkt, the renewal will last at least until the end of 2026. It seems that Shandong Taishan still holds high hopes for the future of this tall striker. Liu Guobo may not be a name familiar to many. Standing at 1.89 meters, he is a genuine center forward, only 26 years old, considered a young and strong player. In 2017, he represented Shanghai and won the U18 championship at the National Games, beginning to make a name for himself in domestic football. The following year, he transferred to Beijing Guoan, starting his professional career. Although he played for Beijing Guoan for five seasons, his appearances were limited, totaling only 22 matches in the Chinese Super League, contributing one goal and one assist. He is not a big star, but most fans are probably not unfamiliar with him. In the 2023 season, Liu Guobo joined Shandong Taishan, and there was some anticipation that he would get more opportunities in the first team. Unfortunately, he did not play in the first line of Taishan but was loaned to Zibo Qisheng and Tai'an Tiankuang in the China League Two. Although his playing time in Tai'an Tiankuang was not long, only participating in three rounds of matches, he persisted…

The evaluation of the neutral naming policy has always been mixed. Some people believe that the neutral naming policy hinders the enthusiasm of investors, and since the interests of investors are not guaranteed, they naturally reduce their investment in football clubs, leading to the current widespread wage arrears. On the other hand, some people think that this may be one of the few good policies proposed during Chen Xuyuan's tenure, avoiding commercialized names and enhancing a sense of belonging, allowing the names of old teams to return to their original state. In response to the significant drawback of the neutral name affecting club revenue, Song Kai proposed a new solution after taking office, which is to allow the team within the club to be commercially named instead of renaming the club. Although the income from naming the team is not high, it is still a way for the club to increase its commercial income. Recently, Shandong Taishan Club announced the launch of business recruitment for 2025, seeking a title sponsor for the first team and a partner for the jersey advertising space. Shandong Taishan issued an announcement to recruit sponsors for team naming and jersey stadium advertising within the club. This includes naming the first team and various youth teams. Last season, the B team of Taishan found a local liquor company as its title sponsor. If Taishan can find a title sponsor this season, the team will participate in competitions under the name of "Shandong Taishan Something Team," which will be displayed at all locations where the team's name…

Shandong Taishan FC participated in the fifth round of the AFC Champions League East Asia Zone, hosting Johor Darul Ta'zim at home. In this match, Bi Jinhao missed a good opportunity, while Zeke made a significant contribution. Ultimately, Shandong Taishan FC narrowly defeated Johor Darul Ta'zim with a score of 1-0, accumulating 7 points from 5 rounds with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. In the 15th minute of the game, Chen Pu took a shot, which rebounded off a Johor Darul Ta'zim player and was caught by their goalkeeper. In the 21st minute, Obregon attempted a close-range shot, but it was blocked by Wang Dalei. In the 29th minute, Liu Yang made an error in clearing the ball, allowing Aiman to take a shot, which was brilliantly saved by Wang Dalei. In the 38th minute, Liu Binbin's shot went wide of the target. In the 43rd minute, Obregon scored past Wang Dalei, but the goal was disallowed due to offside. In the 46th minute, Chen Pu crossed from the left, and Bi Jinhao missed a close-range shot as the ball went over the crossbar, squandering a scoring opportunity. In the 50th minute, the referee showed a yellow card to Li Yuan. In the 60th minute, Kazaishvili replaced Bi Jinhao. In the 62nd minute, Bergson turned and shot, but Wang Dalei punched the ball away with one hand. In the 69th minute, Zeke scored against Johor Darul Ta'zim, and the referee confirmed the goal as valid, changing the score to 1-0. In the 72nd minute, Zhao Jianfei kicked the…

Recently, an official news from Shandong Taishan team caught my attention, which reads as follows: On January 11th, the first-team of Shandong Taishan is steadily and orderly advancing with their winter training in Shanghai, conducting two sessions of training per day. In the morning session, the players mainly engaged in endurance running, interval running, and sprinting to recover and enhance their physical reserves. The afternoon session focused on passing drills and small-sided games to further refine the team's technical and tactical levels. After dinner, the players voluntarily went to the hotel gym for additional training, demonstrating a positive attitude towards training. Additionally, foreign aid Zeka arrived in Shanghai yesterday to join the team; player Tang Chuang completed the club's physical skills test in the morning and reported to the team in Shanghai in the afternoon. This message conveys several points: firstly, it informs that the team is currently undergoing winter training in Shanghai and provides a brief introduction to the content of the training. Secondly, it announces that Zeka has returned to the team. Thirdly, new recruit Tang Chuang has completed his physical skills testing and reported to the team. In fact, there hasn't been any official news from the team for quite some time, leaving fans unsure about the current situation of the team. However, this message contains an intriguing detail that may have escaped notice: not a single word is mentioned about Choi Kang-hee and the coaching staff, none at all! Why is this? Normally, one would expect the message to state that the team is actively preparing…

Currently, the Taishan team is training in Shanghai, and the team's recruitment work is also in full swing. The existing Wakko, Cressang, and Zecca will continue to stay with the team in the new season, and the team's midfield and backcourt will also buy people to strengthen their strength. It is reported that this time the team used its own connections in Brazil and did not blindly delegate power to Cui Kangxi. Compared to recruiting from the Korean league, Brazilian foreign aid with higher cost-effectiveness has become the first choice. According to media reports, Taishan team has basically confirmed two foreign players, namely Lucas and Madrugada, whose positions are central defender and defensive midfielder. Both of them are around 25 or 26 years old, with a value of between 600,000 and 700,000, which can be said to be in the prime of their lives and in excellent condition. Taishan team sent away Pato, Leonardo also confirmed to join Shanghai Port, Jadeson will also leave the team, so the team will complete the five foreign aid lineup. Such foreign aid strength is also among the best in the Chinese Super League, coupled with excellent domestic players and emerging young talents, the team is fully capable of challenging for the championship. Last season, after losing Sun Zhunhao, Moises, and Fellaini, the quality of foreign aid has not been strengthened. With only one truly healthy Wakko, it was decided that the team could not compete with top teams. This time, it is very necessary to strengthen the defensive midfielder and central defender positions.…
