Shandong Taishan, as a traditional giant in Chinese football, seems to be shrouded in dark clouds recently. Recently, bad news about the team has been coming out, and internal conflicts have been exposed. There are rumors that Jinan Cultural Tourism will withdraw, and there are even rumors There are rumors that players are on strike due to back payment of taxes, coupled with the recent poor performance of the Taishan team, all kinds of negative news have cast a shadow on the prospects of this team.
However, this may not be the case. Although there are indeed some problems within the team, there is no such serious matter as a training strike. The club official also came forward to clarify this, saying that it was caused by the comprehensive injuries of the coaching staff and the intensive schedule. After thinking about it, he chose to take a day off. Moreover, the financial problems encountered by the team have been reported by the media recently and have been properly resolved. Liu Yu, chairman of the Green Development Group, and senior executives of Cultural Tourism personally came forward to discuss with the senior leaders of the club. Negotiations have been held and it can be said that the club is now moving in a good direction.
The unsatisfactory results of the Taishan team this season are not entirely due to the interference of external factors. In fact, it is also related to the overall strength of the team that is not as good as before. After the two core players Fellaini and Moises left last season, the situation for The impact on the team is still relatively large. Without these two major foreign players, Kreisan is not used to playing now. Moreover, as the first foreign player introduced by Cui Kangxi, Pato has once again proved his identity as a parallel import. Pato actually got a lot of playing opportunities this season, but he failed to seize the opportunity to show off himself.
After the end of last season, Pato was actually regarded as a favorite to leave the team, but Cui Kangxi still insisted on keeping Pato. Looking at it now, such a decision is still questionable. So far this season, he has only contributed A goal, far from the fans' expectations. Originally, the outside world thought that Pato's annual salary was relatively low, only a few hundred thousand euros, but according to recent media reports, Pato's annual salary is as high as 1 million euros after tax, which is considered a relatively high level among foreign players in the Chinese Super League. However, his performance did not match the high salary, and he became a famous "parallel import foreign aid" in the Chinese Super League.
Cui Kangxi does have good abilities in coaching, but he has obvious shortcomings in introducing players. Compared with his predecessor Hao Wei, the quality of players introduced by Cui Kangxi is obviously not as good as the former. Players such as Cresan and Judson introduced during the Hao Wei era have become the absolute main force of Shandong Taishan, but the players introduced by Cui Kangxi are difficult to achieve the expected results. For example, Zeka introduced this season has not played a game and is still recovering from injuries. Peng Xinli and Bi Jinhao have also been questioned by fans. During the second transfer window, Cui Kangxi still needs to put more effort into signings.
