Back in 2016, player Bi Jinhao made a determined move to Shanghai Shenhua. At the time of the unfortunate injury of South Korean senior center forward Kim Shin-wook, Bi Jin-ho was called upon to play as the starting center forward for many times, and won many victories with his outstanding performances, winning the favor of head coach Cui Kang-hei.
Last season, Bi Jinhao experienced a leap from Changchun Yatai to Shandong Taishan, and once again joined hands with his mentor Cui Kangxi. Despite not having many chances to play in the league, his loyalty and strength won Cui Kangxi's trust, and he managed to be among the first strikers in the AFC Champions League. He has now scored two goals for Taishan in the AFC Champions League, alongside teammates Krysan and Kazaishvili.
However, this season, Taishan's performance in the league was sluggish, only finishing fifth. In the FA Cup final, they were even defeated by Shanghai Port, and all four cup competitions were empty. Choi Kang-hee's coaching path seems to be full of challenges. Against this backdrop, the rumors of Bi Jinhao's transfer are not hard to understand.
Earlier this year, Bi Jinhao signed a "1+1" contract with Shandong Taishan. If Cui Kangxi continues to coach the team, the possibility of Bi Jinhao renewing his contract is extremely high. But Cui Kangxi's future is not yet known, Bi Jinhao can trigger the remaining year of the contract, become unknown.
For Bi Jinhao, who is approaching 34 years old, returning to his hometown of Dalian next season seems to be a wise path. In recent years, Dalian soccer has been in the doldrums, but Dalian Yingbo has finally returned to the Chinese Super League. At this time, local veterans like Bi Jinhao are the key players to hold up the facade of the team.
Therefore, Bi Zinhao joining Dalian Yingbo is undoubtedly a win-win choice for both sides. We wish Bi Jinhao will continue to play well in the next season and contribute to the revival of Dalian soccer.
