The latest windfall suggests that the Chinese Super League's foreign aid policy may be about to undergo a subtle shift, and while the rules for foreign aid appearances will remain the same, the maximum number of foreign aiders each team can register will likely be scaled back from seven to six. This means that each team will be able to register up to six foreign aiders on their roster, five of which will be able to participate in the game, while the actual number of foreign aiders on the field will be capped at five. This change will undoubtedly bring new challenges to the club's attraction strategy, lineup construction and tactical layout, especially for those teams that aspire to win the championship or strive to stay in the relegation process, how to skillfully adjust the configuration of the foreign aid has become the core topic of the winter break.
In the face of the approaching new season, the management of Taishan team must make careful calculations and efficiently operate the optimization of the foreign aid lineup in order to seize the lead in the highly competitive league. It is reported that the retention of Wako, Cressan and Zeca is already a done deal. Wako, with his strong physique and all-round skills, sits in the key position of the team's center and backfield; Cressan, with his sharp breakthroughs and accurate shooting, shines in the center and front court; and Zeca, as the soul of the team, is naturally highly expected. The three stay in the team, no doubt for the team to build a solid framework.
However, from the point of view of the current composition of Shandong Taishan, the winter window to introduce a quality foreign back became the team's top priority. Although there is no lack of domestic players in the midfield of Shandong Taishan last season, but in the face of high-intensity, fast-paced games, the team in the midfield control often appears to be insufficient, especially in the defense into the key moment of attack, the lack of a fast organization of the attack, accurate delivery of the ball core back. This is also one of the reasons why the team's performance last season was not satisfactory. A good foreign back can not only enhance the stability of the team's midfield, but also become a key link between the backfield and the front field through accurate passing and broad vision.
