In the midst of the opening of the Chinese football transfer market, Shandong Taishan has announced the first significant news of the 2024 winter transfer window: their main central defender, Marcel, who has been with the team for half a year, will leave after his contract expires. This seemingly ordinary transfer news reflects the careful consideration between competitive pursuits and practical considerations within Chinese football clubs. Marcel's connection with Taishan began during the summer transfer window of the 2024 season. At that time, this foreign aid with a mere 50,000-euro valuation joined Taishan, with hardly any fans optimistic about his future. In today's Chinese football environment, such a valuation is not even enough to attract attention in the China League One. However, professional football fields are never short of unexpected surprises, and Marcel is one of the best examples. After representing Taishan, Marcel broke the doubts with his actual performance. He displayed a solid foundation in defense, repeatedly thwarting the opponent's attacks. Moreover, he also contributed impressive goals in attack, showcasing the comprehensive qualities of a modern center-back. Such performances quickly won the recognition of Shandong fans, with many hoping the club would renew his contract. However, professional football is never just about emotional considerations. As the 2024 season draws to a close, Marcel's contract is set to expire on December 31. At this critical moment, he has been waiting for the club's renewal notice, hoping to continue playing for Taishan in the next season's Super League and FA Cup events. However, what awaited him was a disappointing outcome—the club…

Translation of the article content into English: The winter transfer window is approaching, and after a long period of silence, Shandong Taishan finally has some new news. Some of it is direct transfer news about the Taishan team, while others involve other Chinese Super League (CSL) teams seeking to purchase foreign players, with the Taishan team being considered as the source of these transfer rumors. Domestic media has summarized recent transfer news related to the Taishan team and provided the real situation. Firstly, there is the possibility of the Turkish Super League forward Aboubakar joining the Taishan team. However, it appears that the Taishan team has not made contact with him, and it is likely that he is using the Taishan team to raise his own profile. Secondly, regarding the 29-year-old Portuguese midfielder Nene, who was rumored to be joining a CSL team with the Taishan team as a potential destination. Nene does have a high probability of playing in the CSL, but the team he will join is not the Taishan team. This Portuguese midfielder is an attacking player, which is not the type needed by the Taishan team. Thirdly, Choi Kang-hee's agent did indeed recommend many domestic and foreign players to the Taishan team. However, whether it was Choi Kang-hee's intention or his agent's, the club did not agree to the proposals. This means that the club has taken back the power of recruitment and is now recruiting through its own channels. After all, the foreign players proposed by Choi Kang-hee's agent, such as Pato, were quite disappointing.…

From being the sole leader to a fierce competition among many teams, the landscape of the Chinese Super League (CSL) has changed due to the departure of Oscar and Bargas. The established team Beijing Guoan has openly declared their intention to join the championship race next year, not only securing the renowned coach Quique Setién but also rekindling their connection with Jonathan Viera. Another traditional powerhouse in the CSL, Shandong Taishan, has not been idle either. While dealing with Cuí Kāngxī's contract, they are actively seeking foreign players without the interference of a head coach, focusing their selection on Brazil through Brazilian sports channels. Shandong Taishan will not renew their contract with Marcelo, and it is imperative to upgrade their foreign players. Even if they do not have the ambition to compete for the championship, they need good foreign players to fight for a top-four position. At least five foreign players should have the ability to start, unlike last season when they had five foreign players on paper, but Delgado was once benched. According to the Shandong Orange Wave Fan Club, Taishan's new foreign player will be the Brazilian midfielder Guilherme Madruga. He is quite famous and won the Puskás Award in 2023. Madruga is 24 years old and comes from Brazilian sports. He joined the Brazilian Serie A team Cuiabá Esporte Clube for a transfer fee of 740,000 euros at the beginning of this year. The 2023 season was his career peak, playing 46 games in the Brazilian Serie B, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. This transfer…

Cuikexing is determined to leave, elder sister proposes a new plan, He Xiaoke has the potential to replicate Xie Wenhua's success After entering the offseason, the TaiShan team has been plagued by problems with their head coach. In fact, due to the poor performance of the TaiShan team last season, Cuikexing has been questioned by fans, and the calls for his dismissal have been growing louder and louder. Cuikexing may also have no intention of continuing to coach the TaiShan team, and he has proactively proposed to resign. He even released news through South Korean media that he has completed the termination of his contract with the TaiShan team. However, according to the news from the TaiShan team, Cuikexing has not terminated his contract, and he is still the head coach of the TaiShan team. The reason why the TaiShan team did not agree to Cuikexing's resignation is mainly because of the high termination fee demanded by Cuikexing. It was Cuikexing himself who wanted to leave, so he proposed to leave. However, Cuikexing's side demanded a high termination fee, which is obviously unreasonable. Under the current financial difficulties of the TaiShan team, it is not impossible to let Cuikexing continue coaching for another year and fulfill his contract. But recently, according to the revelation of journalist Miao Yuan, Cuikexing seems to be determined to leave. Miao Yuan revealed that the elder sister of the South Korean agent has come up with a new plan. When fans asked about the plan, Miao Yuan explained that it was a breakup plan. Obviously,…

Recently, the Shandong Taishan team is preparing to blow the whistle for the winter training assembly in order to fully sprint for the new season of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. Therefore, the team has also notified many loaned-out players to return to the club, including Yang Ruiqi, Lu Yongtao, Yi Xianlong, Song Long, and others who have played as main players in the AFC Champions League. They will be evaluated by head coach Choi Kang-hee during the winter training. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and it is hoped that this saying applies equally to these loaned-out players. At the same time, the Shandong Taishan team will introduce strong domestic international-level reinforcements in the Chinese Super League transfer market. According to various media reports, Zhong Yihao, Zheng Dalun, Wu Shaocong, and Sun Qinhan are expected to become hot targets for the Taishan team's winter window transfers and are likely to join the club. Zhong Yihao is a very capable player who can play as a left midfielder and left back with commendable performances. Therefore, the Taishan team has always been very appreciative of Zhong Yihao's abilities and has repeatedly wanted to invite him to join. If Zhong Yihao can join the Taishan team, it will enhance the bench strength. Zheng Dalun was a protégé of Choi Kang-hee when he coached Quanjian, known for his excellent passing and shooting skills. However, Zheng Dalun's development over the past few seasons has not met fan expectations. Last season, Zheng Dalun joined the Cangzhou Mighty Lions team, but…

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…

Currently, most teams in the Chinese Super League have started training, but for Shandong Taishan, due to the late arrival of the holiday, the team is still on vacation. It is reported that the team will gather on January 6th to prepare for the new season. At present, it seems that the team will not change their head coach during this off-season. Although Cui Kangxi had a conflict with the club during the off-season and wanted to leave, Taishan did not intend to pay the termination fee to let him go. Therefore, Cui Kangxi is likely to continue coaching Taishan next season. However, he may not be able to build the team according to his own ideas. In fact, since Cui Kangxi took office, it can be seen from the recruitment that his recruitment was not reasonable and not for the future of the club, but simply for his own interests. Recently, Taishan's foreign aid central defender Jadson changed his agent to become a Korean elder sister. Jadson's move is very obvious, just to renew the contract with Taishan. Cui Kangxi asked the club to sign a three-year contract with Jadson, but the club could only offer a 1+1 contract. After all, Jadson is already 34 years old and has a glass attribute. Taishan cannot offer a long-term contract to such an old player. This also led to a conflict between Cui Kangxi and the club. You know, when Taishan renewed the contract with Moises, such a core player, they renewed it year by year, and Jadson's role is definitely…
