The latest developments reveal that the Chinese Super League's foreign aid policy continues to be robust, but the number of registered foreign aid places will see a subtle change - from seven seats in previous years to six. This means that each team will have 6 foreign aid registration qualification, of which 5 can be included in the starting list, up to 5 can be the same game, the total number of appearances to control within 5 people. This adjustment undoubtedly brings new challenges for the clubs, especially in the season to compete for the championship or relegation of the team, how to subtly adjust the layout of the foreign aid has become the primary subject of the winter off-season.
For the Taishan team, facing the challenges of the new season, the management needs to be smart and clever in adjusting the foreign aid lineup in order to get a head start in the competitive league. At present, Wako, Cressan and Zeca have already stayed in the team. Wako, with his excellent physical quality and comprehensive skills, sits at the core of the team's backline; Cressan, with his sharp breakthroughs and accurate shooting, shows extraordinary strength in the midfield; and Zeca, as the team leader, is highly anticipated. The three of them have laid a solid foundation for the team.
However, looking at the existing lineup structure of Shandong Taishan, the introduction of a foreign back in the winter window has become the team's top priority. Although the Taishan team has many domestic players in the midfield last season, but in the face of the high intensity of the game tempo, the team in the midfield control is slightly insufficient, especially in the defense to attack the conversion stage, the lack of a pivotal back who can quickly sort out the attack, accurate passing. This is also one of the key factors of the poor performance of Taishan last season. A top foreign back can not only enhance the stability of the team's midfield, but also become a key link between the backfield and the strikers through accurate passing and excellent vision.
