Shandong Taishan team is about to participate in the AFC Champions League, which is an opportunity for Cui Kangxi to prove his ability. Reinforcements are the best way to improve your squad. At present, the Shandong Taishan team has confirmed the addition of two foreign aids, but it still needs to introduce a strong reinforcement in the back position to fill the vacancy caused by Sun Zhunhao's departure. Choi Kang-hee already has a favorite player, but the introduction of foreign aid has not been successfully completed, so the introduction of reinforcements in the back position has also been affected. What is surprising is that because of Pato this season, it is difficult for Shandong Taishan team to introduce foreign aid from the back. In this case, does the Shandong Taishan team need to consider adjusting the configuration of domestic players, or consider letting some old players return?
At the beginning of this season, Shandong Taishan team experienced great turmoil, especially the incident of foreign aid Sun Zhunhao being arrested, which had a great impact on the team's midfield's interception ability. Despite Choi Kang-hee's adjustments, and players such as Hwang Jung-woo, Lee Won-il and Liao Li-sheng performed well, the defeat in the FA Cup final and the final game of the AFC Champions League group stage made Shandong Taishan really aware of the team's gap in midfield. Therefore, Choi Kang-hee wants to bring in a capable South Korean foreign player to improve the team's midfield, especially in the midfield position, and South Korean international Baek Seung-ho is his first choice. However, Baek Seung-ho has already rejected Choi Kang-hee's invitation out of personal career considerations.
But this does not mean that Cui Kangxi does not want to bring in reinforcements, but it is more likely that the Shandong Taishan team has no chance of recruitment. The reason for this is Pato, who was brought in from the Indonesian league in the middle of the season, but has not shown his convincing quality and has been injured frequently. Pato has returned to Brazil to recuperate, but he is also reluctant to leave the Chinese Super League due to a contract offered by Shandong Taishan that is three times his salary in the Indonesian league. In addition, Zeka, Kaza, Cressan, Judson and Leonardo have joined the Shandong Taishan team, making the team's number of foreign players have reached the upper limit, and there is no room for reinforcements. Unless Shandong Taishan is willing to let Leonardo go, but there is no clear attitude yet.
Therefore, if Shandong Taishan team wants to introduce a midfielder, it must adjust the existing foreign aid. Judging from half a season, Pato's strength is indeed disappointing, and the key moments cannot play a decisive role. Shandong Taishan's outstanding performance in the AFC Champions League does not only depend on the introduction of high-level foreign aid, but also the key to comprehensively improving the team's strength. The role of domestic players is also not negligible. Although Shandong Taishan has always been a leader in Chinese football youth training, they have failed to produce top players like Zhou Haibin and Cui Peng in recent years, which is clearly different from the team's past strength. Therefore, the introduction of domestic players is also an important way.
Just like the introduction of players such as Li Jinyu and Zheng Zhi in the past, they can drive the development of players such as Zhou Haibin and Cui Peng, coupled with excellent foreign aid, so that the overall strength of Shandong Taishan team has been improved. Therefore, next season, Shandong Taishan team must improve in all aspects. At present, the defender position of Shandong Taishan team is seriously aging, and although Shi Ke often makes mistakes at critical moments, it is indeed difficult to find players who are more capable than him. And Gao Zhunyi has become a free agent, and the Shandong Taishan team should not hesitate to recruit him. Although he originally planned to join Shanghai Shenhua, this is now very unlikely, and Shanghai Port does not need a defender.
Therefore, now is the time for the Shandong Taishan team to throw an olive branch to Gao Zhunyi, and he will definitely return to join. For Choi Kang-hee, as long as he can improve the strength of the team, he does not need to pay attention to any prejudice. Therefore, the fans should warmly welcome Ko's return, what do you think?
