30 million! Exposed Shandong Taishan team super scorer joins Shanghai Port, continue to fight for the championship with Wu Lei Beijing time January 7th, focusing on the Chinese Super League and domestic football. At present, some teams in the Chinese Super League have gathered, and some are about to gather to start the sprint for the 2025 season. Shandong Taishan team had a mediocre record last year, and they will start preparing for the new season again on January 6th. So far, the team doctor of the Taishan team, Sandro, foreign aid Pato, Tong Lei, Liao Lisheng, foreign aid Marcel, He Xiaoke, etc., have basically confirmed their departure. Considering the big environment of the club, it is difficult for the club to make big investments in the new season, so personnel adjustments are inevitable.‌ In fact, judging from the overall performance of Shandong Taishan team last season, at least two aspects need to be adjusted. First, coach Cui Kangxi's tactical innovation is imperative. Second, the adjustment of foreign aid introduction is imperative. Currently, Crescendo, Kaza and Zeke have contracts, and the midfield and defensive lines need to be strengthened.‌ On January 6th, according to the report of Shangguan News, Shanghai Port will introduce former Chinese Super League Golden Boot winner Leonardo. Leonardo showed great interest in joining the Port. Both sides are interested in each other, so this transaction should be highly likely. Shanghai Port has successively announced the departure of Oscar and Bargas. On the latest Chinese Super League value list, Crescendo ranks first with 4.5 million euros, Leonardo…

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.…

Currently, although the Chinese Super League is still in its winter break, the anti-corruption and anti-gambling storm in Chinese football continues, with Chinese fans continuing to pay close attention. The first batch of banned list released by the Football Association previously caused a sensation, and now the second batch of banned list will soon be announced. In the first batch of banned list, as many as 43 people were banned for life, including influential players such as Sun Junhao, Jin Jingdao, and Guo Tianyu from Shandong Taishan team, and former international Wang Song was also on the list, along with another 17 players who were banned for 5 years. The release of this list came as a surprise to many and sparked widespread attention and discussion, making people realize the intensity of the anti-corruption struggle in Chinese football. As time goes on, rumors about the second batch of banned list continue to heat up. It was previously reported that the list would be announced before the end of the league and the end of 2024, but until now, it remains elusive with no signs of movement. However, with the sentencing of former national team coach Li Tie and the impending sentencing of former international Qin Sheng, it is widely believed that the announcement of the second batch of banned list should be imminent, and it is rumored that there will likely be some unexpected heavyweight players on the list. Recently, famous football media personality Miao Yuan revealed a major scoop, saying that among the second batch of banned list is…

Translation of the article content into English: Have you ever experienced these football anxieties? —— The hidden concerns and future behind the current situation of the Taishan team. Do you remember the last time you felt anxious about the departure of a Taishan team player? Perhaps it was the moment Xu Xin left, when the anger of the fans almost ignited the entire internet, as if the team had lost its pillar. However, when Liao Li Sheng transferred to Chengdu after his contract expired this year, it did not cause much of a stir, almost making people feel that this was just an ordinary event. What is the story behind this huge contrast? Has the enthusiasm of the fans been worn out, or is the appeal of the Taishan team gradually declining? These questions are not just a discussion about Liao Li Sheng alone, but also reflect the current state of the entire Taishan team. Once a top team in the Chinese Super League, the Taishan team now seems to be experiencing an inevitable downhill path. One by one, players are leaving, the club's financial issues are coming to light, and even the attention of the fans is not as high as before. All of this makes people have to re-examine the future of this team. Liao Li Sheng's departure was a quiet and somewhat sad transfer. This year, after his contract expired, he freely transferred to Chengdu Rongcheng without leaving any transfer fee. This former national-level player was once highly anticipated when he joined the Taishan team a few…

Currently, all teams have started their winter training preparations. For the double champion of last season, Shanghai Port still faces considerable pressure during this off-season due to the departure of two top-tier foreign players in the Chinese Super League (CSL), Oscar and Bargas. This has undoubtedly significantly reduced the team's strength. Therefore, during this off-season, Shanghai Port needs to strengthen its foreign player lineup. Although it is impossible to introduce players of the caliber of Oscar and Bargas again, it is still necessary to select players with good abilities. According to previous media reports, Shanghai Port's first signing has been confirmed as Matheus Vital, who is currently playing for Cruzeiro in the Brazilian league. His market value is as high as 2.5 million euros, and in the new season, Vital will become the successor to Oscar. However, Shanghai Port's pursuit of foreign players will not stop there. The team will continue to look for suitable foreign players. Recently, according to reports from Shanghai media, Shanghai Port's second signing is also on the horizon, with the team targeting Leonardo from Shandong Taishan. According to a self-media report from Shanghai, Shandong Taishan's foreign player Leonardo, who is valued at 4 million euros, is expected to join Shanghai Port in the new season, becoming the team's second new foreign player after other signings. Leonardo's performance at Taishan did not fully meet expectations, despite his certain abilities. He was never able to find the most suitable position within Taishan's tactical system. Therefore, news about Leonardo possibly leaving the team might not be entirely unexpected…

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…

On January 6th, Beijing time, Shandong media reported that Mustapha Tash, the main central defender of Shandong Taishan B team, is on trial with Shaanxi United, a newly-promoted team to the Chinese League One. Shaanxi United, which has just been confirmed by the Football Association to be promoted to the League One, has set its sights on strengthening its defense with the 21-year-old towering central defender Mustapha, who shone in the China League Two last season. As a favorite player of Han Peng, the head coach of Shandong Taishan B team, Mustapha became the most trusted defensive pillar for Han Peng after returning from Chongqing Tongliang Long in the Chinese League One during the summer transfer window and joining Shandong Taishan B team to play in the League Two. His contributions were significant in helping the team reach the promotion group. Born in 2003, Mustapha stands at an impressive height of 1.86 meters. He is one of the key central defenders being groomed by Shandong Taishan and, along with Yan Hengyue, is considered a future successor for the team's domestic central defensive line. Having previously played for the first team in the 2001 and 2003 seasons, it is expected that Mustapha will join Shaanxi United on loan if all goes well with his trial. With Mustapha likely heading to the League One, Shandong media suggests that the new season of Shandong Taishan will still rely on veterans Zheng Zhen and Shi Ke to carry the load. Without the competition from young central defender Mustapha, veteran Shi Ke's position in the…

Shandong Taishan Football Club is at a critical turning point, actively preparing for the winter training of the new season while also facing significant adjustments to its management structure. These changes stem from the team's failure to meet expectations in the previous season, particularly with unsatisfactory results in the Chinese Super League (CSL), the FA Cup, and the AFC Champions League, which has led to widespread criticism and dissatisfaction among fans. In this context, current head coach Choi Kang-hee has naturally become the focus of public opinion. Many fans and industry insiders believe that Choi should bear primary responsibility for the team's poor performance, with calls for his dismissal growing louder. In fact, the club's management has recognized this issue and has held in-depth discussions about changing the head coach. However, the reality is that the contract signed between the club and Choi Kang-hee includes a high breach of contract clause worth 30 million yuan. In the current overall environment of Chinese football, this amount of breach of contract is not a small sum for any club. Facing this dilemma, Taishan team has shown a pragmatic and wise side. The club finally made a compromise decision: let Choi Kang-hee continue to serve as the head coach, but at the same time clearly define and restrict the scope of his authority. According to the new arrangement, Choi Kang-hee will mainly be responsible for the technical and tactical work of the team and on-site command during the game, which maintains the relative stability of the team's technical level and avoids the economic…

Recently, according to domestic football insiders, the head coach of Shandong Taishan, Choi Kang-hee, has started scouting for suitable candidates to reinforce the team. At the same time, Choi Kang-hee recommended Brazilian Serie A midfielder Gomes to join Shandong Taishan. The 26-year-old Gomes is in his prime and is an absolute starter in the Brazilian league. However, Gomes' salary and transfer fee requirements are not high, with a transfer fee of only 400,000 euros and a post-tax annual salary of 700,000 euros. Many Shandong fans believe that Choi Kang-hee's recommendation of this new foreign aid is stronger than Pato, who was introduced in the 2023 season. Pato failed to deliver convincing performances after joining Shandong Taishan in 2023. Instead, he missed several opportunities in the game, quickly earning him the label of a "flop." Additionally, Shandong Taishan spent more than ten million yuan on Pato. Spending over ten million yuan to introduce Pato did not have the desired reinforcing effect, naturally leading many fans to question Choi Kang-hee's judgment. Shandong fans believe that listening to Choi Kang-hee and introducing Pato was a wrong decision. Pato had never even played in the Brazilian league, only winning the golden boot in the Indonesian league. Winning the golden boot in the Indonesian league is not very convincing. Therefore, Shandong fans had little confidence in Pato's ability to establish himself after joining the club. As expected, Pato performed mediocrely at Shandong Taishan and was directly labeled a flop. In this situation, Shandong Taishan's head coach Choi Kang-hee also learned from the experience and brought…

Shandong Taishan has been working hard to prepare for the upcoming winter training, and there is also a clear answer regarding head coach Choi Kang-hee's future with the team for the new season. Choi Kang-hee's performance last season in the Chinese Super League (CSL) and the FA Cup was average, leading many fans to believe he should be replaced. However, Choi Kang-hee still has a contract with Taishan, and the club is unwilling to pay his breach of contract fee in advance. Therefore, it is not a problem for Choi Kang-hee to stay with Taishan. At the same time, Buyu Lang, who was heavily cultivated by Choi Kang-hee last season, has become a new national team player. Ivankovic included Buyu Lang in the national team's first training list for the new year. Buyu Lang is the only post-04 star that Choi Kang-hee particularly favored after taking over Taishan, giving him stable playing time. The saying "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared" applies equally to Buyu Lang. During the away match against Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, Buyu Lang had an outstanding performance and scored his first goal in the CSL. His potential-filled performance for Taishan caught the attention of national team coach Ivankovic. Ivankovic highly appreciates Buyu Lang's abilities and gave him the opportunity to join the national team. Many fans were delighted for Buyu Lang. Before joining the national team, Buyu Lang had already signed a new contract with Taishan. It is believed that Choi Kang-hee would be thrilled to see his protégé fulfill his dream of becoming a national…
