For me, if I were to pick the best team in the Super League this season, the only candidate would be Shandong Taishan. Although they failed to win the title, they were outstanding in the third-tier battle. Last season, Shandong Taishan team won the runner-up in the league, and the FA Cup won three consecutive championships, but unfortunately in the AFC Champions League group stage, this is mainly due to the participation of the reserve team.
With the end of the epidemic, fans are full of expectations for the Shandong Taishan team in the new season. However, after the winter break, a series of incidents that hit the Shandong Taishan team occurred one after another!Wu Xinghan's Xiaosanmen incident and Jin Jingdao's being taken away made them lose to the Wuhan Three Towns team, an upstart in the Super Cup, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Shandong Taishan team.
At this time, what is even more tragic is that Coach Hao Wei lost contact, Guo Tianyu and foreign aid Sun Zhunhao were also taken away, which caught the Shandong Taishan team off guard. Therefore, in the early days of the league, the performance of the Shandong Taishan team was quite embarrassing, the team fell into turmoil, and the results became worrying.
Many fans believe that this season will be a difficult test for Shandong Taishan team!However, after Choi Kang-hee took over, the team began a gorgeous metamorphosis!In the league, Shandong Taishan team launched a series of consecutive victories to chase the feat of points!The journey of the FA Cup swept all the way, broke into the final, and in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, it was even more soaring!Despite losing to the Harbour team in the penultimate round of the league, allowing the opponent to win the championship one round earlier, Shandong Taishan team ended up in the position.
2nd place. In the final of the FA Cup, Shandong Taishan lost to Shanghai Shenhua with an incomplete lineup and was only runner-up. In the group stage of the AFC Champions League, Shandong Taishan became the most promising team in the Chinese Super League to advance to the knockout round.
All in all, from the chaos at the start of the season to the final third-tier result, this series of results has taken fans by surprise!Some people say that the performance of Shandong Taishan team fully demonstrates the strength of the team!That's not wrong at all!As a domestic giant, Shandong Taishan team has cultivated many excellent players, even if they are no longer competing in the professional arena, but they are still legends on the field!Recently, the two former meritorious players of the Shandong Taishan team.
Wang Yongpo and Lu Zheng, the American amateur football club Irvine Brothers, once again proved that they still have the ambition of immortality!According to **, the two players recently played together for the Irvine Brothers in California, USA, and performed well, contributing goals to help the team win 4-2. Wang Yongpo, in particular, made his debut in the United States in this competition.
The excellent performances of both players have once again proved their quality. mentioned Wang Yongpo, he is a star player cultivated by the youth training system of Shandong Luneng Football Club. As a veteran, he played for Shandong Taishan for 13 years, winning three Chinese Super League titles, two Chinese Football Association Cups and one Chinese Super Cup. He was once the same brother as Wang Yongpo, and he was also the best partner in the team.
However, after 2016, he turned his new journey elsewhere. Now, Lu Zheng and Wang Yongpo have joined forces in the United States again, which is undoubtedly the best proof that they are still vibrant. May their future lives and careers be even more brilliant!
