Recently, the performance of the Shandong Taishan team has greatly disappointed the fans. The successive losses have put the team in trouble. Naturalized international Fernando was exposed to have conflicts with head coach Cui Kangxi and was eventually loaned to Shanghai Shenhua. This incident made the outside world pay attention to the relationship between Cui Kangxi and the club. Li Pingkang, a well-known media person, posted on social media and revealed some insider information about Cui Kangxi.
Li Pingkang pointed out that Cui Kangxi has almost only cooperated with one agent for many years, and this team is responsible for its transfer operations. Back then, Li Dongguo and Kim Minjae refused to follow Cui Kangxi because they were required to transfer through this team. During this summer window, Cui Kangxi rejected the introduction of Kayo because Kayo was not his eldest sister’s player. It is reported that there are defenders from the middle and lower reaches of the Chinese Super League who are willing to join Shandong through the big sister operation, but they quoted 2 million euros to the club. This price is too high and the club cannot afford it. Due to time constraints, Cui Kangxi could only find a temporary replacement in Brazil.
Not only that, Cui Kangxi also insisted on introducing some older domestic players this year. Although the club initially rejected these proposals, it finally gave in at Cui Kangxi's insistence. Although these problems are not fatal, what is really worrying is the ideological difference between Cui Kangxi and the club. The club hopes to plan for the long term and make careful calculations, while Cui Kangxi is more concerned about immediate results. Such disagreements have caused the club management to feel even more pressure, because once the team becomes a mess, Cui Kangxi can choose to leave, but the club will have to bear the consequences.
At present, the news that Cui Kangxi is "in the Cao camp and in the Han Dynasty" has been circulated in the circle, which is not surprising. Li Pingkang said that Cui Kangxi may have plans elsewhere. It is difficult to advance the shareholding reform in Shandong, but the management's efforts have also made some progress. Cui Kangxi originally came to Shandong hoping to make a difference, but now that differences have become public, people have to control their selfish desires.
According to Li Pingkang's revelations, the differences between Cui Kangxi and the club have long existed, and now they are even more obvious. Cui Kangxi seems to be ready to leave at any time. Shandong Taishan is at its most critical moment. Fernando's departure and the team's losing streak have made fans extremely dissatisfied. If Cui Kangxi chooses to leave the team again, the team may really face a situation of falling apart. At present, Shandong Taishan's management must find a solution as soon as possible to stabilize the team and revive morale. The issue of Cui Kangxi's stay is unresolved. At such a critical moment, the club needs firmer leadership and smarter decision-making in order to tide over the difficulties and return to the winning track. (Chinese Super League Football Review)
