In the land of Qilu, the passion of soccer burns, in which three Chinese Super League teams are like the bright pearl of the soccer world, shining with the potential to become the soccer hall of fame. Cebu Maozhen's name is once again closely linked to the management of the Taishan team. The return of the former star to the field not only inherits the team's spirit, but also highlights its value. Ai Junmin, a legend on the soccer field, joined the coaching business after his retirement last season, assisting Coach Li Xiaopeng in stabilizing the Cangzhou Lions. According to sports reporter Sun Fei, Ai is expected to follow Li Xiaopeng in the new season and join the coaching team of Hainiu, injecting the vitality of the Taishan team into the Qingdao Hainiu.
The Manatees managed to get promoted after a close call last season, and with the departure of original head coach Arsene, Li Xiaopeng has taken over as the team's new helmsman. He is in the process of assembling his own coaching team. The return of Ai Junmin, one of China's leading soccer players, will undoubtedly bring new hope to Chinese soccer. The friendship between Taishan and Manatee goes back a long way, and Xie Wenneng has not only nurtured many talents during his time in Qingdao, but also helped the team survive relegation by loaning veteran Song Long to Manatee last season. This year, Taishan's first-team squad will be streamlined, and both sides are expected to continue player exchanges.
Several foreign aiders currently under contract with Taishan, such as Leonardo, Cressan, Wako and Zeka, who are on loan, will occupy four foreign aid spots. Taishan need to vacate the positions first in order to bring in new recruits, while Zhejiang are expected to buy out Leonardo. From the existing lineup, Zheng Zheng or Shi Ke urgently need a foreign center back partner. Taishan is not only concerned about the results of the first team this season, but also officially launched a study abroad program for Chinese youth players, relying on the Brazilian sports platform. Shandong Taishan's youth training is strong and the model is constantly innovative. Brazilian sports, Fang Hao, Chen Pu and other players have been laid out in advance, and the experience in Brazil has made them more mature.
