If Zheng Zhi joins Shandong Taishan, it will inject new vigor and strength into the team. Rumors are flying that if Zheng Zhi takes charge of Shandong Taishan, his former comrades Huang Bowen and Artemisia Junmin may also follow him, forming a new coaching lineup. Huang Bowen is expected to become the assistant coach of the Taishan team, while Artemisia Junmin, the spiritual pillar of Luneng, loved by the fans, and its return in whatever capacity, will be the joy of the hearts of the fans in the mountain city.
At the reinforcement level, Zheng Zhi's arrival may bring in a powerful player for Taishan. For example, Wu Shaocong, who plays in overseas leagues, is a coveted center back candidate for the Taishan team, capable of playing as both a left back and a center back, a position that the Taishan team is in dire need of strengthening. Wu's career in Europe has been hampered, and if Zheng Zhi lends a hand, he may consider returning to his homeland.
Shandong Taishan team is at the crossroads of the old and new, if you can recruit Zheng Zhi, such experienced, in the domestic football world important coach, will help the team smoothly through this period of turbulence.
However, there are still doubts about Zheng Zhi joining Shandong Taishan. Cui Kangxi's contract with Taishan still has one year left, and if he suddenly leaves, the club will face a huge amount of compensation. Taishan's finances are tight, and raising such a large sum of money in the short term seems out of reach.
It is reported that Choi Kang-hee's agent has arrived in Jinan last weekend to start talks with the club on the coach's stay and departure. The prospect of Zheng Zhi joining Shandong Taishan will depend on the outcome of the negotiations between the two sides.
