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.…

Despite only finishing fifth in the 2024 season, Shandong Taishan remains a focal point for media attention, primarily due to the team's rich heritage. Since its inception, the Taishan club has consistently competed at championship levels, experiencing occasional dips but generally leading the direction of professional football leagues in China, particularly in terms of youth training. Taishan is brimming with talent, as evidenced by the recent inclusion of Buyu Lang in the national team. However, the club also faces challenges in transitioning between generations, with an older average age being one of the main reasons for last season's performance decline. To address this, Taishan is seeking change. On one hand, they are tapping into their youth training program to promote outstanding players to the first team, enhancing the team's vitality while reducing the average age. On the other hand, they are looking to improve the age structure through new signings, with players under 30 expected to become the norm. Following the departures of players like Tong Lei, Sun Guowen, and Liao Lisheng, Taishan is now seeking new recruits that better suit the team. Previously, there were rumors about the club's interest in signing the 29-year-old forward, Tang Chuang. Now, after Choi Kang-hee's return, these rumors have been confirmed by informed media sources. Tang Chuang is set to sign with Taishan and join the team's preparations for the new season. Fans often associate Tang Chuang with late blooming. Over the past three seasons, Tang Chuang, who started his career with Qingdao Hongshi, has made significant strides. In the 2021 season, he…

As of January 8th, Beijing time, let's continue to pay attention to domestic football and domestic sports. The Shandong Taishan team has officially assembled in Jinan on January 6th and will head to Shanghai for the first phase of training on the 8th. This training session will last for a month, with the team taking a few days off during the Spring Festival. It is reported that there are three main reasons for choosing Shanghai this time. Firstly, head coach Choi Kang-hee has been living in Shanghai for a long time, which is convenient for his travel and family care. Secondly, last year's expensive foreign aid Zeke suffered a serious injury during training in Hainan, which made the coaching staff of Choi Kang-hee somewhat cautious, even a bit shadowed. Thirdly, it is convenient for the national players to gather and travel for AFC Champions League matches. From the previously announced dynamics of the Taishan team, players such as Liu Yang, Liu Binbin, Liu Guobao, and Wang Tong are all present, and the main players such as Crescencio, Zeke, and Kaza will also arrive one after another. As for the team's more concerned foreign aid defender Jadeson, whether he can return smoothly has also attracted the attention of fans and media. However, on the 7th, Shandong media reporter Niuzhiming also revealed the latest news about Jadeson. He posted that Jadeson is currently in Brazil and has not returned to Jinan for the team's physical examination. This means that whether Jadeson can return smoothly in the new season is still unknown. At…

It's raining misfortunes when your roof leaks, and now Shandong Taishan's foreign players are being targeted again. We haven't even had a chance to strengthen our team with new signings, but it seems like there's trouble brewing at home. From Crespo last time to Zeka today, what's going on? There were rumors at the end of the season that Japanese teams were inquiring about Crespo, and that Kawasaki Frontale's former coach, Takashi Ono, was interested in bringing the Brazilian to his new club, Kashima Antlers. But then what happened? No news! Now it's said that Korean teams have set their sights on Zeka, the center forward who only joined Shandong last year and spent half the year recovering from injuries. The team interested in Zeka this time is Ulsan Hyundai. What's the deal? It seems like Chinese teams are always the ones left holding the bag. When we bought Zeka, we paid a breach of contract fee of 2 million euros and a salary of 1 million euros, not to mention the medical expenses. Does this mean that after all that Shandong Taishan has invested, Ulsan Hyundai is just waiting to take advantage? Zeka isn't indispensable; at the very least, the accounts should be settled for 3 million euros. We can be generous and waive the medical fees. I suspect that it might be Choi Kang-hee's team spreading these rumors through domestic Korean media again. The message seems to be: if you don't want the players I buy, I'll create some public opinion and take away your star striker. There…
