Throughout the stormy times, Shandong Taishan soccer team has been brewing a heavy change in recent years, the core of which is the new arrangement of the foreign aid lineup. Currently, there are six foreign talents and two naturalized players in the team, two of which are senior foreign aiders who have witnessed the glory of Shandong Luneng. Despite their pivotal roles in recent seasons, Fellaini has decided to leave and Moises' contract extension talks have broken down and he will bid farewell to the team at the end of the new season. At the end of the match with Kaya, the team will hold a farewell ceremony for them, two farewell ceremonies in one season, making the fans in the mountain city doubly sad. At the end of the new season, the team's foreign aid lineup will undergo a major reshuffle.
The Shandong Taishan team now has six foreign players and two naturalized players, and the two senior foreign aiders were once the highlight of Shandong Luneng's attraction. Among them, Fellaini and Moises were the shining stars of the golden dollar era, with high transfer fees and annual salaries, but their strength matched their value. On the field, they not only showed exquisite skills, but also set an example for domestic players with their professionalism.
With the imminent departure of two senior wide men, Fellaini's farewell ceremony has been successfully held and now it is Moises' turn. Although Moises is not as well known as Fellaini, he can play in any position except goalkeeper. He has even excelled as a center back under the coaching of Li Xiaopeng. Last season, Moises scored 13 goals and had a perfect 16 assists in the Chinese Super League. Despite a slight dip in performance this season, he still contributed a sparkling 5 goals and 10 assists. During the ravages of the Xinguan epidemic, he returned to the Shandong Taishan team with determination, showing his importance to his family and the team. As he leaves Shandong Taishan and the Chinese Super League, we should wish him well and hope he continues to shine at his new club. The departure of these two veterans signals a major change in Shandong Taishan's foreign aid lineup.
In addition to the two veterans, the team has four foreigners in Crezan, Pato, Jadson and Leonardo, as well as two naturalized players in Fernando and Delgado. Crezan is the most stable player and will be the key to the team's adjustment. Jadson has excelled at center back despite his injury woes. Leonardo, despite his impressive performance this season, does not match Choi's tactical style and his transfer seems to be a foregone conclusion. Pato's future depends on Choi's assessment. Delgado, the only naturalized player, will officially become a homegrown player next season, while Fernando may not be able to stay with the team after his poor performance this season. The team will need to bring in at least two foreigners to make up for the shortcomings in the lineup. Rumors are swirling about the team, but the truth is yet to be revealed. Let's wait and see what will be revealed at the end of the season.
