It was eagerly anticipated that Zeca would make his debut after the break to face his Chinese Super League rivals in Qingdao West Coast, however, the reality has overshadowed this expectation. It has been revealed that he will have to wait until the end of September at the earliest to suit up, and the process will be careful and gradual. Initially, he may just play as the tail end of the game, slowly adapting to the intense pace and atmosphere of the game. Fans, please be patient.
And He Xiao Ke made his debut at the tail end of the invitational tournament and scored a brilliant goal that instantly ignited the enthusiasm of Shandong fans. At the same time, he expressed confusion over coach Choi Kang-hee's non-use of him in the league. From the U21 tournament, He Xiaoke's outstanding performance clearly surpassed buying Ukrainian players.
Shandong Taishan have put their trust in buying Ukrainian players. So why not give He Xiaoke a chance to show what he can do? Since his return in the summer transfer window, He Xiaoke has gone granular, not getting a minute on the pitch. Maybe Choi Kang-hee didn't get to see him on the pitch, but he could have at least seen him play for the U21s. Ho's best position is left winger, but this position has been occupied by Cazza, and unless Cazza suffers an accident, it will be difficult for Ho to compete with him.
On the wings, the equally young international Xie Wenneng, as well as Liu Binbin, Chen Pu and a host of other players, left He Xiao Ke without a foothold on the wings. As for the striker position, Cressan clearly has the upper hand. He Xiaoke is currently placed in the forward position and with his excellent breaking ability, he has an impressive start-up speed, although his speed is not absolute. As a result, he could be placed behind Kressan as a second striker or an attacking forward similar to Wang Yongper. In the U21 national team, his performance was enough to earn him a place in Choi Kang-hee's heart.
